* lice by DR.. Joseph L. Howard
= have brought to light plot dia-
bolical in the extreme and abhorrent
in its cruelty. aimed at the life and
fortune of Jim Goodwin, an aged and
wealthy miner The disclosures led
last night to the arrest of Sidney J.
Dandy, formerly Of the Dandy invest
ment company. and James O'I.one,
his partner.
The systematic torture and pro-
longed agony of the plot, together
with the clever scheming underlying
every move, possessed all the sensa-
tions of the murI1iest of melodramas.
1t was only by the firm and decided
action taken by Dr. Howard that its
workings were nipped in the bud. /
Within another week or two the plot,
if carried out, would have resulted
in the death of Goodwin and the theft
of his entire fortune of 100000
Doctor Traps PIOfferS
The main purpose of the scheme
was to kill Goodwin and have DR..
Howard give medical certificate
covering the crime. According to the
story told by him to the police, for
this act he was to receive one-third
of the fortune. Instead of showing
his hand by refusing point blank, DR..
Howard, recognizing the nature Of
the men with whom he had to DEAL

the two walking right into it pro-
vided the necessary proof for their
arrest.
DR.. Howard was fxst brought into
the scheme about a week ago, when
he received message at the Stewart
hotel, where he resides, asking him,
to visit a patient at the Lansdale
hotel. On going there he was med

Divided on Question

That the assembly is divided on this
question. and widely divided, is beyond
question. The division is. however, in
the ranks Of the republicans. The
democrats who are for the bill at all
are for il in the form in which it passed
the senate. II the republican propo-
nents of the original form are in the
majority the measure will not have to
20 back TO the senate.
II the champions of the district vote
for United States senator prevail the
concurrence sof the senate in the
amendment will be necessary. and a
row between the two houses may re
suit That such a row would bring
disaster 10 the bill is improbable. The
men who fought the bill hardest in the
senate assert now that they do not
care what is done to it, because. they
contend, il is unconstitutional anyhow.
The keenest lawyers in the senate
are not prepared TO agree with them
in that contention and reduced to its
simplest form all the dght that remains
on the subject Of direct primaries for
this session is a fight wholly within the
assembly membership and over a single
question.
Grove L. johnson viii fight the bill
on other grounds. probably many
grounds. He would be more than
happy to shoot the bill full OF amend
ments in which the senate would re-
fuse to concur and thereby precipitate
fight which could reasonably be ex-
pected to prevent direct primary Iegis-
lauon. The republican majority is not
prepared TO accept responsibility for
that sort Of thing and the democratic
minority is on the job prepared to take
the credit for passing the biH if the

LINcoLN's GREAT SPEECH.

On next Friday the American people
will observe the one hundredth ami
versary of the birth OF Abraham Lin
coin, by many looked upon as this
countrys greatest President or all
the. things Lincoln said none has left
more enduring group OF thoughts
beautifully presented than his Gettys-
burg speech, which is here repro
duced:
Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this CONT
nent a new nation, conceived In lib
erty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal. Now
we are engaged In great Civil war,
testing whether that nation, or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated
can long endure. We are met on
great battlefield of that war We have
come to dedicate portion of that
field, as final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that that
nation might live. 1t Is altogether fit-
ting and proper that we should do
lbAot pult III ltlktl Sclot, We tuh
not dedlcate-we can not consecrate
we can not hallow-this ground.
The brave men living and dead, who
struggled here. have consecrated It,
far above our poor power To add or
detract The world will little note
nor long remember what we say here.
but il can never lorget what they diu
here 1t Is for us. the living. rather,
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have
thus far so nobly advanced. 1t Is
rather for us to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining before US
that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure
of deyotlon-that we here highly re-
solve that these dead shall not have
died in vain-that this nation. under
God, shall have new birth OF free
dom-and that government OF the

NAVAL REFORM.

But thirty days of the Roosevelt
administration remain and 1t is evi-
dent that these final days are to be
rs fully crowded with strenuous work
as any period Of the remarkable sew
en- years of this administration. There
is much curious comment on the fact
that the President has deferred the at
tempt to reform the navy establish.
ment until the last moAth of his ad.
ministration. and 1t is considered the
more remarkable from the fact that
owing to his familiarity with the naval
situation. acquired when he was as
aistant secretary OF the navy at the
beginning of the Spanish war. he
should have waited until these final
days to begin a reform. Evidently
he expects Mr.. Taft, as the lnheritor
of the Roosevelt policies, TO continue
the naval reformation when he is in
the antipodes.

ENGINES FOR AERoPLANEs.

Nothing could show more clearly the
confidence felt b. practical men that
there is to be much use of aeroplanes.
Or at least much experimenting with
them, says Literary Digest, than the
attention now being given by design
ers and builders Of motors to the de-
velopment of engines suitable for driv-
ing these machines through the air
II used to be though that progress
could be made only by decreasing the
weight of the motor per horsepower.
Recent tests have caused change of
opinion here. We are informed by w.
F Bradley and H. w Perry in the En-
gineering Magazine. Says these writ
ers:
principally as the result of the sue
cessful work of Wilbur Wright in
France. Europe aeronautical-motor en-
gines have begun TO doubt the wisdom
of their special researches in the direc-
ton OF great power with light weight
Formerly it was generally believed
that weight was one of the greatest
obstacles to flight and that the lighter
the engine the better, When flights
Of a few yard we're looked upon as
marvels. there was doubtless some
ground for this belief; but now that
half dozen men, on various types Of
machines, have flown for more than
mile. and the most expert Of them
have remained aloft for more than an
hour, the need for featherweight mo-
tors is no longer felt.
"Wilbur Wright. undoubtedly the
most successful OF all aeroplanists,
used in his flights In France last fall
a gasoline motor of greater weight and
lower power than the engines OF any
OF his foreign rivals. thus proving con-
clusiyely that 1t is not necessary to
possess special engine In order TO Ny.
Although the Wright power plan can
not be olassed as an automobile en-
gine. 1t Is the least removed from mo-
tor car standards of any aeronautical
