A LOOK AHEAD.
Honors of the Air, Science and Ro-
nance Are JOiaed.

In celebrating with unwonted dis
play two great achievements of the
past, New York takes a long look
backward. But one event in the
weeks program forecasts the future;
it invites a look ahead. The Fulton
Aerial Flight from New York to Al
bany demands the mechanical skill
and inventive genius that Fulton drew
upon in devising the Clermont, and
the daring and love Of =. adventure
which Hudson and other early navi-
gators SO notably possessed. In the
race for the honors of the air, science
and romance are joined. The field of
contention is that noble valley where
in Hudson and Fulton won lasting
fame.
The mastery of the air in 1909 is
still as primitive as was geographic
knowledge of our continent in 1909.
Though the balloon is even older than
the steamship, the flying machine is
yet beginning, like the Clermont. It
is not six years since that memorable
date, December II, 1908, of which the
Wrights have said:
''It was the first time in the history
of the world that a machine carrying
a man had risen in the air in free
flight, had described circle on the
same horizontal level without mis-
hap
A greater feat is now proposed; not
an aeroplane exhibition such as those
which are to take place at Governors
Island, but a long trip of ordered
travel in the air; not test but a
fight, with the added interest of COM
petition, following in the path of EIud-
son and Fulton Such feat as a
race through the air from one city to
another 140 miles distant has not yet
in any country been attempted. The
winner will achieve or heighten
worldwide fame; the spectators will
be looking on at an exploit which does
not merely commemorate history but
makes it.
The pole is found, the waste places
of the world are explored. The Hud-
sons and Fultons of today are plan
ming the conquest of the sky. 1t is
the most al1uring quest that is left
them. The race in the air fttingly
honors the heroes wfnsse names the
week is to celebrate. IF they could
join in the flesh in their own festival
this is the feature of it which WOULD
rivet their closest attention.

PARRISH SUCCEEDS CARR.
Durham Citizen Becomes
Sales Manager for VIC. C. Co.

Durham, N. c., Sept. 26-The an
nouncement today that Capt. E. J.
Parrish had been appointed general
sales manager of the Virginia-Caroli-
ma Chemical Company to succeed the
late Lewis A. Carr, struck Durham as
a pleasing surprise. The division un-
der Captain Parrish is, of course,
North Carolina, the same territory
held by Mr.. Carr. His service begins
this week, and he will have but little
to learn to walk right into the duties
so well discharged by Mr. Carr, who
was the big spirit of the fertilizer
trust. Captain Parrish has hold up
on the farmers that few men have
been able to have. He has been MANY
years in the tobacco business and
may be said to be the author of the
American Tobacco Company in Japan.
Captain Parrish is almost father to
the great young town Durham. He
has been with it since it started and
barring his six years sojourn in ia
pan he has put money and energy in
every year that he has lived about the
place. His residence in the Orient did
not, however, take him entirely away
because he has had tobacco interest
here at the time. When he left for
the East he went to establish the
American Tobacco Company there and
when the government required the
interests to be sold the Durham dip
lomat so splendidly wound the busi-
ness up that the company made him
rich man for his great services.
The appointment to the manage
ment of the company's sales in North
Carolina carries with it a salary the
size of the Vice-President and Cabinet
officers.

CHARLEY HEAD Runs AMUCK.
Demented From Drink He Shoots
Wildly Upon Street Yesterday.

No little excitement was caused
yesterday afternoon about five o'clock
when Charley Head, white man of
this city, acting under the influence of
drink, without proyocation fired three
shots into a crowd standing at the
intersection of John and Walnut
streets. One bullet hit Richard White
a respectable colcred laborer, in the
left wrist, but fortunately the others
went wild.
Head was brought to trial this
morning oil three charges. For dis
charging firearms on the city streets
he vas fined $40 and costs, and was
bound over to Superior Court under
bonds of 500 and 5000 respectively
for carrying deadly weapon and fol
making an assault with the same.

TAFT IN MORMON PULPIT.
The Chief Executive Pleads for Peace
and Harmony Between All People.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 26-In
the pulpit of the famous Mormon tab
ernacle in this city, where four years
ago Theodore Roosevelt, then Presi-
dent, preached a long sermon on right
living and the duties Of good citizen
ship, President Taft today faced an
audience which he said inspired him
to try to follow in the footsteps of
his predecessor.
The Presidents sermon was an ap-
peal for amity between the people for
attributing the best rather than the
worst motives to the action of others
when possible to do SO and not to
harbor hatred or animosity.
"a soft answer turneth away wrath,
but grievous words stir up anger
was the text Mr.. Taft selected from
the book of Proverbs. The sermon
was largely made up of relation OF
stories to give emphasis to the points

SHAME ON PEARY
This Latest DeveIopn ent
Makes Him The PresQDjfi-
cation of LittIenesS.
commander Peary Would Not Allow
Cooks Property on Board the :.
Roosevelt, So Whitney Had ]
to Leave Them Behind.

/ New York, Sept. 27.-Developments
in the past twenty-four hours have
GU minated in developments adding
fuel to the already bitter dispute be-
tween the scientists and other sup
POI ters of DR.. Frederick A. Cook and
Commander Robert E. Peary.
Simultaneous with the planned de-
parture of Peary for Bar Harbor, Me-,
to prepare his 'annihilating' state
ment, came further ENHANCEMENT in
the cablegram from Harry Whitney
that he had left Cooks instruments
and data behind. At least, he said, he
lett behind him at Etah box, given
in his keeping by Cook which he
thought contains Cooks instruments.
Added to this came the information
from London that the London Chron-
iclc's private correspondent has been
allowed to see, at Eagle Island data
in the possession of Peary which may
completely refute the claim of Cook
that he was the first white man to
reach the north pole.
DR.. Cook will deliver his first lee
ture tonight at Carnegie Hall.
The question which is agitating the
scientific supporters of Cook and has
caused even the explorer himself some
worry is, will DR.. Cook be able to es-
tablish beyond dispute his claim of
having been the first white man to
reach the north pole without his in
struments, which were left cached
with certain data by Harry Whitney
at Etah.
This doubt and apprehension are
the result of word from Whitney that
Commander Peary had compelled him
to leave Cooks property at Etah.
ITO be perfectly frank" said DR..
Cook, 1T is most desirable to have
the instrumental corrections. How
the scientists will regard my proofs
now with the instruments missing is
for them to say.
Il feel that the instruments are
safe where they are and that when 1
,ey will be forthcom-
ing. TIE only difficulty now is that it
is the worst time of the year to send
| for them. I will have to wait
THE box which I left with Whit
ney was an ordinary wooden affair
containing about two cubic feet. The
instruments were packed in their wa
| terproof cases and the data which I
left there was already so blurred that
1 had made duplicate copies of it. 1t
would be for the scientists to decide
entirely as to whether my trip would
| be available without the production of
instruments"
DR.. Cook said that the two Eskimoes
. who accompanied him to the pole
would be brought to the United States
i within a year. This information was
given when Cook was told of the accu-
sation that the two young men were
inexperienced and unable physically
to make the north pole trip.
The following cablegram was re-
ceived by Cook from Whitney:
!. tStrathcona, via Indian Harbor
and Cape Ray, N. F.
DIR. F. A. Cook, Waldorf:
Started for home Roosevelt. Moth
ing arrived for me. Peary would al

board. Said to leave everything in
cache at Etah. Met Captain Sam, OF
North Star. Did not go back. After
going schooner ST. Johns take steamer
home. Hope you well. See you soon

The opening of the wrestling game

tween Stranger. Lewis" of st. Paul

Of this universal interest in the match
is that both the contestants have an
nounced that the "go" would be for
blood. 1t is admitted that both men
are rough and will use no parlor tao
tics in the match. 1t would be dis
appointment to the crowd If such a
parlor match was put on.
Each contestant intends to do his
best, for it means to the winner that
he can wrestle In this city at least one
more time. Both men are in the city
and are predicting victory to their
friends and supporters. Lewis is a
stranger in this city but the followers
of the wrestling sport are acquainted
with him from press accounts of his

Hamilton, Ohio and Lafayette had rep
resentatives in attendance begging for
admittance but their requests were de

start in this city next week sometime,
but Just when has not been determin-

The Local Lineup.
Richmond will be represented by
the talent of last years semi-profes-
sional team and members of the city
league teams of this season. Just
who will be in the lineup will be left
to the directors. All the teams will
be of semi professional talent this
season, the directors deciding that it
was too early to import stars. Rich.
mond players will be on other teams
of the circuit. Mr.. Gaar had to agree
to the demands of the other promoters
and relinquished claims on Nolan OF
the Grays and Williams Of last years
semi professional team to New Gas
tie; also on Louis Quigley and Harry
Parry of last years team. Both OF

On the face of it, this looks rather
bad for the locals. However those
who have attended the city league
games believe there is sufficient tai

been left to the management of each
city. Williams will officiate in this
city and each club will have it's home

be employed. A "home umpire die
