THE EAEROPLANESF[Y
HELP ENTERTAIN VISITORS AT HupsoN-FuLToN cELE7RA-
 TON IN NEW YORK.
ENCIRCLED STATUTE OF LIBERTY
Wilbur Wright Made Three Sensation al Flights Going Clear Around tn' Biq Statue on Bedloe's lsland-Ine DrigibIes Failed.

New York. Oct 1.-Wilbur Wrignt circled the great statue of Liberty al the entrance of New York in his aero plane. while in the upper part of the city two huge dirigible balloons failed ingIoriously in their task. This, the first day of flight of the Hudson-Ful- ton celebration. was a victory for the heavier-than-air machine.
 Both Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss scored successfully from the aerodome on Governors Island in their motor propelled biplanes; both great dirig- ibIes, manned respectively by Captain Thomas Baldwin and George L. Tom linson and entered in the New York Worlds $10,000 New Yorkto-Albany race, were forced to descend because of mechanical difficulties before they were we'll under way.
 Wilbur Wright made three sensa- tional flights and Curtiss made one brief though successful test spin Of thirty seconds duration. Baldwin with his dirigible landed in the Hudson riy- CT less than an hour after the start, while Tomlinson, after remaining in the air from 11:36 a. m. until 1;30 p. m, came to earth near White Plains, N. r., 22 miles from his starting point.
 Curtiss was the first to leave the earth and at a time when dawn had hardly broken. He spent the night on Governors Island and at o'clock rose but only for a brief flight.
 Two hours later Wright made his first ascent, encircling Governors Is land, and remaining in the air for seven minutes. After an hours rest Wilbur Wright again went aloft, this time remaining in the air for six min- utes and thirty seconds, attaining a speed estimated at fifty miles an hour and with a glorious sweep out over the bay passing around the great em- blem of liberty on Bedloe Island to the Northwest.
 Not content with these spectacular feats, Wright made a third flight at 5:20 o'clock before a crowd of 2,000 persons, who by that time had assem- bled on the island, attracted by the news of his earlier ascents.

ANTI-T0xIN FOR KANSAS POOR
State Board of Health to Consider Proposition for Free Distribu-
 ton of Dlphthera Remedy.

Topeka, Sept. 29-The state board of health will consider 8 proposition to use the emergency health fund Of the board for the distribution of diph- theria anti-toxin to the poor of Kansas. The plan will be offered by Dr. J. s. Crumbine. secretary of the board.
 "A great many people are unable to pay the high cost of using diphtheria anti-toxin," Dr. Crumbine said. With the abolition of the common drinking cup in the public schools l believe the number of cases in Kansas will be re- iuced materially and I believe that the state can well afford to pay for the anti-toxin necessary to cure the cases among the poor"

stomach troubles would more quick ly disappear if the idea of treating the cause, rather than the effect, would come into practice.

"Art Neither Teacher Nor Preacher

"Art Neltner leaCner NOT Predcher."
 Art Is not a sermon, and the artist Is not a preacher. Art accomplishes by indirection. The beautiful refines. The perfect in art suggests the per feet in conduct. The harmony in mu- sic teaches without intention, the les. son of proportion in life. The bird in his song has no moral purpose, and yet the influence is humanizing. The beautiful in nature acts through ap- preciation and sympathy. It does not browbeat. neither does it humiliate. It is beautiful without regard to you. Roses would be unbearable if In their red and perfumed hearts were mot toes to the effect that bears eat bad boys and that honesty is the best pol icy-Ingersoll

The Problem of vaoabondIsm.

What We shall do with the dere let's is great and increasing prob Iem. It has not been settled satis- iactorily in any great community. An official statement recently issued is to the effect that many thousands of former good workmen have be. rome so enamored of life of idle. ness during the last IS months that they refuse to return to work now that occasion offers. We could wish that the statement were untrue. It is lamentable if it is correct. What every human being needs Is some stimulus. some mental food as well as care for creature wants. The actual necessities of life are few. The comforts are increasingly expensive. It will require more wisdom than is now available to establish system which shall be wholly satisfactory but it does seem as if we might be making more progress.

NJ RUN 0N THIS BANK
OKLAHOMA DEPoSiToRs PLACE THEIR TRUST IN STATE
 GUARANTY LAW.
NO HURRY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS
Only a Few People Were in Line When State Officials Opened Doors of Columbia Bank & Trust Company at Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City, Ok, Sept 30-The banks of Oklahoma City opened for business at their usual hour this morn ing without a jar, despite the fact that the biggest bank in Oklahoma operat- Ing under the bank guaranty law, the Columbia Bank and Trust company, had been declared insolvent by the state banking board
 The doors of the defunct bank were opened at o'clock by A. M. Young, the state bank commissioner, as if 1t were ready for the usual days busi- ness. The state declared itself to be in readiness to pay all depositors as promptly as their claims were present ed and approved. Stacks of bags filled with gold and silver and piles of currency were in the cage of the paying teller, James Waltley. One of the state bank inspectors, w. A. Ledbetter, an Oklahoma City lawyer, was beside Bank Commissioner Young as his adviser.
 When the doors 10 the marble en- trance of the bank swung open fewer than 100 persons were waiting for ad- mittance. and ten minutes later the sidewalk fin front of the bank was easily passable for pedestrians. Al 9:30 there were probably 150 deposit ors in line inside the bank, and of this number not to exceed ten per cent were women. Forty or 30 persons drawn by curiosity stood on the side walk and watched the scene inside the bank Business men in motor cars stopped in the street at intervals and then looked curiously and in some surprise at the orderly crowd and then proceeded to their offices
 The one thing that appeared to i'm. press the people most was that there was no need of hurrying to present claims because of the fact that if a depositor had any protection at all that protection was just as good to- morrow or a year from this time as it would be at the present moment This was contrary to the exciting scenes when in other days crowds filled the streets in front of closed banks, the depositors not knowing when they would be paid or whether they would be paid at all. Not the least doubt was expressed that the state, through the guaranty deposit fund, would pay every cent of the banks obligations. It was estimated unofficially that the total amount due depositors was about $5O0,000.
 The statement is made generally among all classes of business men that if the state banking board takes over the affairs of the Columbia Bank and Trust company, the largest state bank in Oklahoma, and promptly pays the depositors in full, the Guaranty De posit Law, at least from the stand point of the individual depositor, will have been vindicated. What the opin- ion of the banks amenable to the levies of the Guaranty Law will be after the affairs of the defunct bank shall have been disposed of is a ques- tion that may not be answered at this time.

Guthrie, Ok, Sept 3O.-The state bankers of Oklahoma will protest the payment of the emergency per cent assessment on capital stock for the purpose of swelling the bank guaranty fund sufficiently to take care of the failure of the Columbia Bank and Trust company at Oklahoma City. This became known here today The bank CTS maintain that under the law the stockholders of defunct bank must be assessed 100 per cent before an emergency call is made on the other state banks Until the stockholders are assessed, therefore, the state bank. CTS will hold out against the emerg- ency assessment. It is understood this is statewide agreement among bank CTS.

HE CONFIRMS COOK
HARRY WHITNEY REACHES ST JOHNS, NEW FoUNDLAND,
 ON HIS WAY HOME.
NO REASON TO DOUBT HIS STORY
New Haven Man Believed That Both Dr. Cook and Peary Reached the North Pole-Anti-cook Statement Soon.

St Johns, N. F.. Sept. Solitary Whitney of New Haven believes that pr. Frederick A. Cook found the pole and that Commander Peary did the same. In expressing this belief, Mir. Whitney said that he knows no reason for doubting Cook more than Peary.
 "Dr. Cooks story he added, seems to me truthful and probable. Nothing else would explain his twelve months absence"
 The schooner Jeanie arrived here with Mir Whitney aboard coming from the Greenland coast by way of Indian Harbor Labrador He went north, he said, merely on a hunting trip and now finds himself in the storm center oi 8 polar controversy
 pr. Cook left with him al Annatok several cases containing instruments some other belongings, but so far as Mir Whitney knew, no written records There may have been records, how ever, packed with pr. Cooks personal effects. but the explorer did not tell him especially that he was leaving written records in his possession.
 Speaking of pr. Cooks detailed ac. count of his trip 10 the pole. Mir. Whit ney said that the explorer showed him how the western drift of the lee had landed him in a region far remote from where he expected to go, and he was unable to get back He could moi speak with authority as 10 whether Dr Cook and his two Eskimos could carry on their three sledges enough food for their journey to the pole. as he himself is a novice in Arctic trav. cling.

New York, Sept 30--Dr Cook, when shown Mir Whitney's statement, said that he approved of all that Mir. Whit ney had said.
 Everything in the interview is sub stantially correct" said Dr. Cook "It confirms my declarations"
 With reference to the written in structions given to Murphy, the boat swain. by Commander Peary. Dr. Cook said:
 "The written instructions handed tc the illiterate boatswain, Murphy, were worded very ambiguously, as Mir Whit ney affirms; but I will not comment on them now Let Mir. Peary publish them"
 Concerning the papers left with Mir Whitney. Dr. Cook said
 "Mr Whitney was in all probability unaware of the written records being left with him. They are not of much consequence. as I have duplicates. As to the instruments, his statements are correct There was a sextant and ar artificial horizon, and the third case contained two compasses. have the watch chronometer here"
