Washington, Sept. 5.-Actuated by
the death of Charles oliver Jones at
Waterville. Me-. on Wednesday by fall
ing from his airship, the boomerang,
leading aeronauts gathered at Fort
Myer to witness the aeroplane tests, are
seriously discussing the advisability of
the enactment of a law which would
tend to prevent accidents Of this char
acter. 1t is proposed to make 1T illegal
for anyone not holding an aeronaut's
license from a recognized aero club to
make an ascension.
Aero clubs have been formed in near
ly twenty cities. and nearly all balloon
ascensions by recognized aeronauts are
made under the auspices of the Aero
Club of America. In order to uphold
the dignity of aeronautics as a science
and to insure its progress along correct
lines, II is proposed that these clubs be
given power to issue licenses to aero
nauts.
There have been numerous accidents
i'm connection with aerial navigation,
notably the collapse of a large dirigible
in California last winter in which sew
eral persons were injured These ac-
cidents, II is asserted, have been due
to the inexperience OF the aeronauts
Charles Oliver Jones has long been
known as a daring balioonist, and al
though he was a member OF the Aero
Club of America, he had never been
granted pilots license by that organ
iZation. 1t is the contention of those
most interested in aerial navigation
that these accidents have done much
toward thwarting the progress of the
science.
Jones mode his headquarters in Ham,
mondsport, the home of the Aerial Ex-
perimental association. There is q
movement on foot TO raise a fund for
his widow and family.

New York, Sept. 5.-NathaH Golf of
the United States circuit court of Par
kersburg, w. Va, will be the Repub-
lican candidate for governor of that
state If an agreement between the rep
resentatives of c. A. Swisher and S. c.
Scherr. the present candidates for gov
ernor on rival Republican tickets, is
carried out.
Both s. C. Scherr. who is the candi-
date for governor of the Lincoln party,
and c. A. Swisher. candidate for the
same Office on the regular Republican
ticket, declared today their willingness
to retire from the race In favor of Judge
Golf.
Would Clear Situation.
1t was explained that the judge mad
never been involved in any political
controversy, and that he stood high in
the estimation of Republicans in West
Virginia, regardless of factional affilia-
tions. 1t was decided that the nominal
ton of Judge Golf, provided he would
accept the honor. would Immediately
clear up the situation and bring har-
mony in the Republican party through
out the state.
Republican leaders had been greatly
disturbed over the possibility of con-
tinued strife in the party ranks result
ing in a Democratic victory in West
Virginia. But ii was asserted today
that the harmonizing of the two fac
lions would undoubtedly once more
place the state in the safe column.
Settled by Committee.
The fight had recently reached such
an acute stage that an appeal was
made by the adherents of Mr.. Swisher
and Mr.. Scherr to the Republican ma
ticnal committee to attempt settle
ment. The national committee appoint
ed a subcommittee composed of Ma
tional Committeeman William l.. Ward
General T.. Coleman Dupont and Mr.
Booker to hear testimony in the case.
At Republican national headquarters
today the statement was given out that
both sides in the controversy had ex-
pressed their willingness to sacrifice
personal interest in behalf of the Re-
publican presidential ticket
