A HOOSIER
AEROPLANE
INVENTORS KEEP 1T HID
DEN AND ARE GUARD
ING THEIR SECRET.
Julius, Louis and Harry Johnson
Will Soon Have Craft
Ready for Trial.

Although disappointed because
their secret work on an aeroplane
became known, Julius, Louis and
Harry Johnson of Terre Haute
declined to give any details of
their work. Further than the
statement that a test will be
made within week or two, they
were reticent about their work,
which has been kept from the
public. The brothers say they are
working along original lines.
With a hfty-horse-power en-
ginc, weighing in all but $50
pounds, modelled on the princi-
pie of the Johnson motor engine,
their own invention, the machine
builders are basing their hopes
ot conquerlng the air.
Machine Kept Hidden
The machine, the details of
which are being kept secret, is
being constructed on special lines
the chief OF which will be an
origiIHl balance scheme. The rud-
der, propeller, location of the
engine and other important ad-
Justments are receiving special
attention and will be placed on
different basis than that of the
Wright. Latham and other me-
shanical birds.
The Johnsons, who are motor
boat and engine builders, have
been working on the machine for
the last eight weeks. The fact
that the barn in which the broth
ers worked at all hours of the
day and night contained \ grow
ing airsh p has became known,
and the inventors are now
guarding their secret more zeal
ouSly than ever.
A trial spin will be made in
3 week or SO on open land near
Terre Haute when the efforts of
the Terre Haute men will be
shown in the success or failure
of the craft. 1--WE have the en-
gine to fix yet said Harry John
son tonight. I'VE shall try the
machine out on the quiet first to
see whether we are successful and
I SO shall give a public exhibi-
ton. We are keeping secret the
letails OF construction and mate
rial used"

Time at the North Pole.

At the north pole time is moth
ing, and if one were residing at
the north pole it would be un-
necessary to wind ones watch.
You are always at II O'Clock and
can't walk out OF. the hotel with
out walking south. All times of
day meet at the pole, as the meet
ing place of all the meridians. A
man sitting with the invisible
mathematical point right under
him would be in all twenty-four
hours at once. Or twenty-four
hour watch placed on the pole
could be made to point to the
correct time in every part of the
world.

Chicago, Sept. 2S-2 a. m.-Ten

fatally injured early this morn

for Cincinnati on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad crashed into the
caboose of a Chicago, Milwaukee

Sixteen men were in the Ca

rom the downtown station.

The engine plowed through the

Six bodies were recovered with

while the flames were eating UP
the splintered bits of the demol-
shed car.
Sixteen injured were dragged
from the burning pyre OF ruin.
The passenger train, known as
the Cincinnati special of the Pan

1t was too late to avert col

mendous momentum.
The caboose was cut in two and
four cars in front were telescop-

GOV. CALLS MEETING.
To Consider What He Believes
Will be Reform and Save
Money.

Governor Marshall has called
the heads of the state and non-
state colleges to meet in confer
ence with him in Indianapolis the
middle of next month. The inn
portance of this meeting as we'll
as the reason for the governors
action can be seen by reading the
following article from the Indi-
annapolis News:
THAT the state in 1908 spent
s205 per capita for college or
university education for her
young men and women, whil-
spending only approximately
$3.50 per capita for education in
the common and high schools
has been disclosed by figures
which have been compiled for
consideration by tire president of
The state and non-state schools
N the conference called by Gov
ernor Marshall for Oct. II and
Is, this city. A comparison of
the figures supports the declara-
ton made in the recent session
of the general assembly, when
the fight for an increased tax
levy for Indiana university, Pur-
due university and the State
Normal school was on, that the
state was seIbding a very small
per capita amount for common
and high school education in
comparison with the money paid
for higher education.
1T was this contention that
caused the governor to inquire
into the comparative per capita
expenditure, with the result that
he decided to call a conference
TO determine whether higher
education in the state could not
be maintained at less cost, in or
der to allow greater expenditures
for the common schools without
increasing the tax levy.
The three state schools spent
in 1908 a total of approximately
81 .025,000 and the total number
OF students enrolled for the
school year was approximately
5000. The approximate cost of
maintaining the common and
high schools was $4,000, 900.
With this sum, $4,000 pupils
were cared for.

JOHN w TALBOT ACCUSED
Leona Mason Issues Pamphlet
Which Shocks Society as We'll
as Members of Owls.

According to a i,SpatcE from
South Bend, Mrs. Leonl Mason.
a divorced woman and iii .,gh.cr
of a wealthy farmer of St. 10
seph county, Ind, has startled
South B~nd society and has
aroused the 10000 members Of
the Order of Owls by print. d
charges against John w. Talbo.,
the worthy president of the Owls
Talbot is married, but Mrs. Mas
on says he won her love, then
cast her aside.
Mrs. Mason will be arraigne |
in court Thursday, charged with
shooting at Talbot in South
Bends busiest street. 1t prom
ises to be the most exciting court
day the town ever knew, for Mrs.
Mason declares that from accus-
ed she will turn. accuser, and de-
mand a jury trial and the privil-
ege OF explaining why she fired
at the Owls chieftain as he ran
around a corner of the city hall.
Some hint of what she will tell, if
she gets a. chance, she has given
in pamphlet distributed widely
in South Bend. Its title is THE
Character and Lie of John Tai
bot, Supreme President Order of
Owls, Exposed by an Outraged
Woman"
ThA dispatch says that Mrs.
Mason six years ago employed
Talbot, then a practicing attor-
ney, to obtain divorce for her.
After the divorce she returned to
her fathers home. She says Tai
bot then began making love to
her, and she became enamored OF
him. though he is a married man
and has son. Mrs. Mason takes
South Bend into her confidence
and gives all the details of her al
legged relations with Talbot.
Against the Owls president she
presents many charges. She
makes sworn statement of what
she says happened after Talbot
obtained her divorce for her. 1t
reads: {
He synpathized with me,
helped me out of my difficulty,
got my confidence, threw his
charm about me (like a spider or
a snake gets its victims), spent
his money freely to show me a
good tine. and took me to the
theater and other places of
amusement. | had never until
then had such attentions shown
to me. was dazed by their
glitter. Then he took me to a
Chicago tileater. | trusted him,
and before | knew it-well, you
know my fate. 1t is not neces-
sary to tell you that from that
time on | was his victim"
Soon, Mrs. Mason says, infatu-
alton began to vanish and quar-
reling began. Then came what
she asserts TO be the incident
which turned her affection into
repulsion. She was kept pris-
oner in male attire for several
days, then compelled at the muz-
zle of a revolver TO pose for
photograph in the costume which
is conventional in East Africa.
After quarrels this photograph,
Mrs. Mason charges, was sent by
mail to her relatives and friends,
tackled IN conspicuous places on
the houses of her neighbors, and
used in every possible way to
ruin her reputation.
