Curtiss has jumped into worldwide
renown in aerial circles. That his
victory was a surprise even TO his
closest friends in this country is ex-
pressing it mildly. When Mr.. Curtiss

admitted that he was afraid he was
taking big chance with the limited

American friends predicted that he

at Rheims.
IL there is one thing that Curtiss
does know thoroughly il is something
about motors. He was an enthusiast

held many speed records. He has
been manufacturing motor bicycles
for several years at his factory in

was one of the earliest in America to
devote careful attention to the manu-

The Root of AItruisn1.

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of Justice; that there is a moral law
before which all men are equal, 80
that l ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that / owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state
Third, the principle of free will; that
l can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced If l do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. X. Chesterton.

the June Bug. Ii was with that ma
chine that Curtiss challenged for the
Scientific American cup, and won in
one minute AZ seconds. He was only
required to go one kilometer, .621 OF

When the Aerial Experiment asso-
citation was disbanded last spring Mr..
Curtiss directed his attention to max
ing practical aeroplanes at Ham.

turned out embody many of the ideas
gained from his work with the asso.

The first machine which he COM
pleted was purchased by the Aero
nautic society of New York city. Mr..
Curtiss gave some creditable exhibit
tons with Il at Morris park in July,
and then transferring his flying ex.
perinents 10 the Hampstead plains
near Mineola, made his best flight in
this country of So minutes 80 seconds
on July II last, covering 291s miles.
which is now the record flight for the
Scientific American cup for 1900.
Mr. Curtiss' machine which he took
to Europe is practically a duplicate
of the one he used here with the ex-
ception of the motor and therein lies
the secret of his success. Instead of
using a four-cylinder motor he built
a special eight-cylinder one, water

BROWN FINALLY
MAKES CHARGES
Says He Refrained at First on
Account of Daughter
Wife Is Answered:

Direct charges of misconduct are lev
eled against Rosetta j. Brown by her
husband, Oscar D. Brown. in an amend
ed answer to the separate maintenance
suit of his suit, filed yesterday in the
Third district court. The wife asked for
$50 a month separate maintenance for
herself and daughter.
Brown, a city mail carrier, filed an
answer some time ago, in which he
charged his motheT-in-law with inter-
fering, but he has now changed his an
swer and charges his wife with miscOn-
duct, naming Raymond Harrison as CO.
respondent. He says he was previously
kept from making the charge on ac-
count of his daughter.
1t is claimed that Mrs. Brown has en-
tertained Harrison at her home many
nights within recent years, in spite OF
the objections of her husband. The hus-
band says he told her this conduct was
not becoming to a married woman, and
received the reply that she would con-
tinue it, and if ne did not like il he could
live somewhere else. He says he re-
manned at home, in spite of this, for the
sake Of his daughter, thinking his wife
would change her ways. Finally, on
June IS, this year, he left home.
Brown says ne is earning only 500 a
month, and has nothing like the s8,00O
as stated by the wife. He says he is
willing now, and always has been. to
live with her and support her as well as
he can on the 800 a month.

WIFE MUST SHOW
SHE OWNS PIGS
Supreme Court ReVerSeS Judg-
ment of the Third Dis
triCt Court.

Mary Eta Chambers still has to fight
to recover the five pigs seized by former
Sheriff c. Frank Emery to satisfy q
claim Of S34.12 against her husband.
This was decided in an opinion handed
down by the supreme court yesterday,
in which the judgment of Judge T. D.
Lewis of the Third district court is re
versed. The opinion was written by
Justice W. NJ. MCCarty, and cOncurred
in by his associates,
The fight for the pigs has been q
lengthy one, and has made those pigs
about the most valuable animals now
extant They were seized by the sheriff
on Dec 3, 1907, to satisfy an execution
made by ]. P. McOmie, justice Of the
peace of Murray, on judgment in favor
of the Parker Lumber company against
T. H. Chambers, husband, for $34l2.
Judgment was rendered in favor Of Mrs.
Chambers and against the sheriff. But
the complaint did not set out clearly
that the hogs were the property of Mrs,
Chambers, and the county attorney OBJ
jected to the complaint on this ground.
Judge Lewis overruled the objection
and the case was appealed. The su-
pTeme court holds that the complaint
was defective, and that Mrs. Chambers
must set out clearly her title TO those
hogs before she is entitled to them.

TAXICABS FOR SALT LAKE
New Company Incorporated and Pres

Get Facts on Business.

Salt Lake is to have in the near fu-
ture a concern devoted largely to the
taxicab business, the Taxicab & Au-
tomObile company Of Salt Lake having
filed articles of incorporation Saturday
in the office of the county clerk. Benja-
min F. HaTtwick is president of the
new company, and Charles E. Fiske,
vice president, these two officers having
been engaged for some time in the sa-
loon business, Edwin G. Kahn is sec

Mr.. Hartwick said Saturday that he
viii go east tonight for the purpose Of
laying in line of taxicabs, looking into
the business in several cities. The COM
pany has not yet decided upon a lOca-
ton for the business, but this viii be
arranged in the near future. Mr.. Hart
wick said the company will open a gar
age and viii act as agent for one or two
lines of automobiles, in addition to car
rying on the taXicab business. 1t is the
intention to install a line of taximeter

SLOT MACHINES
CASE APPEALED
Papers Filed Yesterday by the
City in the Third Dis
triCt Court.

The slot machine case has finally
reached the Third district court. The
appeal papers were filed yesterday by
the city, and the case will now be al
lowed to draw along as slowly as pos
sible until some ruling is made by the
Third district court.
The slot machine case is that of Hem
enway & Moser against Chief of Police
Sam Barlow, Thomas Simpson, Harry
SpieTS, John LenZi and Joseph PugS-
ley. Simpson was the officer who picked
up the two machines in the Saville
cigar store, 70 West Second South
street, on July 1, and carried them to
police headquarters in the automobile
of Hemenway & Moser. The three
others mentioned are the desk sergeants
at police headquarters, who refused to
give up the property when demanded
by the attorney for the slot machine in
teTests.
The case was taken before Justice of
the Peace Stanley A. Hanks and was
allowed to go by default by z. A.
Rogers, assistant city attorney. This
program had been arranged, and the
justice was forced to rule against the
pealed, but it will likely be several
months before it is heard, as it must go
to the foot Of the calendar in the dis
trict court.
During the meantime the hum of the
slot machine will be heard in the cigar
stores and saloons, and the owners will
get repaid for the contribution made to
the American party campaign fund.
