TOO MUCH WIND TO FLY.
Capt. Lahm Finds College Park
Good for Aviation.

There was no flight of the WriGh.
aeroplane at College Park this morning
owing to high wind.
The army officers were on hand and
were ready to go up despite the alb
sence of Mr.. Wright. With the wind
blowing thirty-five miles an hour. how
ever. it was considered too rough for
practice.
Yesterday afternoon there were two
flights. Lieut.. Lahm took up Lieut..
Commander q. e Sweet of the navy.
representative of that department on
the airship board.
Lieut.. Sweet weighs 49, pounds and is
broad in proportion. Some experts on
the field think his bulk explains his
failure to get in the air with Mr..
Wright Tuesday.
There was no trouble about getting
off in the flight yesterday. Lieut.. Sweet
was kept in the air for nine minutes
Later in the evening Lieut.. Hum
phreys took up Lieut.. Fulois and re-
manned eighteen minutes.
Lieut.. Lahm's father Cant Frank
Lahm was one of the visitors at the
field yesterday afternoon and saw his
son fly for the first time in a heavier
than-air machine Capt. Lahm is one
Of the American balloon enthusiasts in
Paris and attended the Rheims meet, so
that he is familiar with the conditions
there.
He said that to his mind College Park
would offer an excellent field after it
was cleared up. He thought there
should be no difficulty in laying of Il
five kilometer course.

RIVER OYSTERS ARE CHEAP.
Selling at the Wharves for 35 Cents
BuShel

The continued warm weather and the
increasing receipts of oysters in the shell
at the 18th street wharf market are
having a depressing effect on the mar
ket, and this morning good stock from
the Potomac beds could be bought at 30
cents a bushel and even lower. Oysters
from Tangier and other bay points sold
at from ~ cents to - cents a bushel.
The demand was fair. and during the
morning hours of today large quantity
of oysters were moved from the wharf
market to the uptown oyster markets.
The Potomac river oysters have this year
been as fine as could be desired, the dry
summer making them as salty as are
bay oysters in ordinary years. Prices on
the oyster?-taking grounds have been low
the entire fall and the owners of private
beds are allowing them to remain undis-
turbed waiting an Improvement in the
market. The oyster catch by the dredge
boats has been large. and this has aided
III keeping prices down.

The Execution of Ferrer.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Not because of what was said or of the
character of the men who spoke at the
apotheosis Of one Ferrer At the Pythian
Temple Monday night but because Of
the prominence given this affair by the
press of Washington. including The Star.

thing anent the other side of the ques-
ton. Now. whilst | am a Catholic priest,
I am not thereby constituted protag
onst of things Spanish or the doings of
Spanish churchmen. | write merely in
the interest of fair play. Now. what are
the facts i'm the case? After twenty
years of prominence. during which he mad
several brushes with the police, Ferrer
withdrew from all outward activity in
politics and gave himself up to the eS-
tablishment of so-called lay schools"
Their prospectus was such that il is hard
10 understand how any government could
tolerate them. The nature of the instruc-
ton impaired may be gathered from the
following: THE flag. a rag of different
colors stuck on the end of a stick. is the
symbol of tyranny and misery. Soldiers
should use their weapons to kill those
who armed them. When war is de-
clared every soldier should declare d
strike. Every evil, every suffering. is
due to that stupid and brutal thing called
native land" In his Valencia school
an emblematc picture represented an
archy with a blazing torch standing near
tary weapons. a soldiers cap pierced by
4 dagger. a torn copy of the laws and
fragments of cross. BY thus Installing
humane and patriotic sentiments into
the impressionabIe minds of boys Ferrer
Was paving the way for the full anarch-
lstiC program found when the fugitives
house was searched by the authorities
II was written in Ferrer's own hand and
included with other things the aboli-
ton of the bench. the army and navy

as 10 leave him in Barcelona shortly be-
fore the outbreak. At his trial, which
was conducted in perfect FORM there
were present two hundred reporters and
two hundred and fifty OF the general pub
lie. Fifteen witnesses deposed. The
testimony showed Ferrer's efforts to STIR
up men in the suburbs to join the rioters
and his instigation to burn converts
Three witnesses testified to seeing him
actually leading group of rioters Thus
after fair and impartial trial Ferrer
paid the earthly penalty Of his crimes
This man is now proclaimed "A martyr by
