LOEB REPLIES
To Criticism Of Court
For Retaining Gfafters.
Says Il Was Necessary to
Promise Immunity
And Employment to Procure Evi.
dence TO Secure Convictions.

New York, oct Pit takes a graft
or to catch Il CRATER in the United
states customs service, says William
Loeb, Jr, collector of the port of New
York, in an official statement issued to-
night, and Federal Judge Hollis opin-
ion TO the contrary notwithstanding,
the four WeigherS who confessed and
gave evidence for the trial of Philip
Musica and his aged father Antonio,
cheese importers, which was concluded
today. are to hold their jobs along with
honest men.
Judge Holt of the United States cir
cult court, before diSpOSing of the case
today which resulted in the elder mans
acGuittal and the sons Incarceration
in the Tombs under sentence, de-
Hounced the retention of the four
weighers as a discredit to the govern
mont and an injustice to the honest
men in the service. Mr.. Loeb quickly
said in reply
The views of such distinguished
Judge are entitled to high respect,
and il is not my purpose to make them
the subject of controversy, but it seems
TO me that Judge Holt can hardly have
understood the situation with which the
administration had to deal.
1t was deemed imperative to break
into this combination to get the truth
from somebody on the inside who
knew: to get in an entering wedge and
break down this system. 1t was then
decided to secure the testimony of sev-
eral wCighers by promising them i'm
munity and retention in in the service.
1T YVES not Il question of choice
between all honest men in the gov
crnment service and keeping four men
admittedly dishonest in the service blu,
the choice was between keeping four
dishonest men in the service where
they could he easily watched or allow
ing great many dishonest men to
remain in tn" Sc -t'ice and have them
and all the c0rIU"t merchants who had
brlbed them cSCap" punishment at the
hands of the criminal law. The admin
istraton decided in eve former course.
and its decision va lased upon the
highest motives
1t was deemed only just to the ad-
ministration that the public should
have this statement when it reads
Judge Hollis opinion

AN ENTHUSIAST.
Mrs. Capt, De Man Makes
Aerop|ane Trip.
Nov | Know What | Makes
Birds Sing" She Says.
WiiburlWright- Will Let His Pupils
wiiburlWright- will Let His Pupils
&C., Use Machine. Alone.

College Park, Nd, Oct. 27.-With her
skirts tied tightly about her ankles to
keep them IRON. 1iuttering in the
breeze, Mrs. Van de Man, wife OF Capt.
Ralph de Man, 2lst United States III
fantry, occupied Il seat beside Wilbur
Wight when he asccnded in the gov
crnments aeroplane here today. For
four minutes she experienced the SEN
sation of soaring in the air, some times
as high rs 60 rect above the ground.
This was the first time a woman had
made an ascension in a heavier than
air machine in the United States, the
Wright brothers having resisted a mul-
titude of feminine requests for an
aerial excursion.
OH exclaimed Mrs. Van de Man
when she returned OF the ground, ''now
l know what makes the birds sing
Lieuts Lahm and HUMPHREYS had 50
far progressed with their mastery of
the governments aercplane today that
just before the closing of the after
moons work Wilbur Wright stepped to
the rear and allowed the two officers to
oversee all details III the management
of the machine prior to their aScen-
sion. He practically retired from the
field SO that the officers might not
share with him the credit for the fight
they We're about to take. They made
a successful ascension, but after being
in the air 81 minutes. the machine de-
scended rather suddenly in remote
part of the field. One ofkthe support
ing wires had given way and upon
hearing it snap the officers had
promptly pulled the lever to make a
landing. The damage was trifling.
His pupils have progressed so far
that Mr.. Wright today announced his
intention of abandoning them for sew
eral days, allowing them to use the
aerOplane at their discretion. The
flights will continue here as usual. Five
flights We're made today.
During the afternoon Mr.. Wright
took Capt Charles de Forest Chandler
of the Signal Corps on a flight of 61s
minutes, this being the first time Capt.
Chandler has assembled in a ''heavier-
than-air" machine. He is one of the
expert balloonists of the Signal Corps,
having made 10 balloon trips.
