HIS new RECORD.
Wilbur Wright Establishes a
Mark for Speed
Never Before EQuaied by Any
one With AerOplane.

College Park, Md, Oct. 9.-With
practically a dead calm settled over
College Park, Wilbur Wright today
broke the worlds record for speed in
an aeroplane over a 500 meter course,
including a turn beyond the course,
his time being So 3-5 seconds, or ~
seconds less than that made by De La
Grange over similar course in
France. Wright attained a speed OF
46 miles an hour for the distance.
AS Wright left the starting point
Lieutenant Lahm took the time.
Wright made the 500 meters in the
direction of Washington with slight
wind to his back in "a 1-5 seconds. He
returned over the course in 24A sec

practically the same as the amount
available during the two years of the
term of your predecessor.
ANY statement of the amounts ap-
would have very little value in deter
mining the expense of your adminis-
tration as compared with the expenses
of former administration
This is due to the fact that appro-
priations are made by fiscal wears.
while the term of office of the COVER
nor corresponds practically to the cal
endar year, and for the further reason
that appropriations available for one
year are frequently unexpended and
are used for the following year. This
is especially true of fees received from
the state institutions
How Stubs Started.
TN answer to your inquiry con-
corning the condition of our finances
at the commencement of your ad-
ministration, will say that on the first
day of December, 1908, we had in the
general revenue fund about $4,000.
At that time the expenses of the state
for November had not been paid. All
the taxes Of 1907 on which the state
relied for the payment of expenses
up until January 1, had been drawn.
AS the running expenses of the
state at that time approximated
100000 a month, it is apparent that
there was a deficit of about $500. 600
which had to be paid out of the 1905
tax levy. Yours truly,
JAMES NJ. NATION.

to pay the fine and was sent to jail.
He brought an application for writ
of habeas corpus in the supreme court
to obtain his release, but the court
refused to release him, holding that
the probate court had ample author
ity to assess the fine, and that the
questions were proper ones.

peared before the supreme court

his client from Lindsborg and declar-

anoiacs who attended baseball games
the supreme court are baseball cranks
dyed in the wool, and never missed
game last summer when the Topeka
team was playing at home.
The supreme court dismissed the
custer suit brought by A. W. Little
against J. A. Davis. coroner of
Wyandotte county. Davis was a
Democrat and was elected by a small
majority over Little a year ago. Lit
tie brought a contest before the con-
test board in Wyandotte county,
claiming that votes which were cast
for him were not properly counted by
the election board and that votes
were counted for Davis that had not
been properly cast. He asked for q
recount of the ballots but the board
refused to do this. Little then dis
missed his contest and as Davis had
already taken the Office and was
serving as coroner he brought an
custer suit in the supreme court. The
court refused to take Jurisdiction in
the case because it was not a court
question until after the contest
board had finally made its decision.

Governor Stubs faced a deficit of

EMMA LIE D0UX, ALLEGED
SLAYER, GETS NEW TRIAL

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1s.-The
state supreme court today reversed
the Judgment Of the superior court OF
san Joaquin county in the case Of
Mrs. Emma LeDoux, convicted of the
murder of her former husband at
Stockton and remanded the case for a
new trial. The decision was written
by Justice Henshaw and concurred in
by Chief Justice Beatty and Justices
Lorigan and Melvin.
The principal ground on which the
new trial was granted was that the
Judge of the trial court erred In not all
lowing the challenge made by the de-
tense to special yenire of 70 men
summoned by the sheriff, who it was
alleged by the attorneys for the ac-
cused woman was prejudiced against
her. Mrs. LeDoux is the first woman
ever sentenced to death in California.
She was convicted of the murder in a
Stockton hotel of her former husband,
Albert McVicker.

HOMECOMING FEAST is
CHANGED TO A FUNERAL
Flowers Gathered for Reception of
Wife and Child Used ON
Latter's Casket

CHICAGO, May 19.-Instead of a
homecoming feast at the house of
ESQ Borszeigh, South Deering, there
is mourning. Flowers gathered for
the reception of his wife and the q
year-old daughter the father had
never seen, will be laid on the grave
of the baby.
Little Emma Borszeigh died in her
mothers arms a few minutes before
the street car stopped in front of the
home.
Two years ago the father came to
Chicago, leaving his bride in her
Austrian home. Emma was born soon
afterward and every penny the father
could save went to furnish a home and
to buy ticket for the wife and child.
They came to the new home, but
the life of the little one slipped away
as she lay nesting on the mothers
breast.
The street car crew left their post
of duty and carried the dead baby to
the home where the father waited for
his family. He had gathered wild
flowers for the event and there was
an old-fashioned Austrian feast, with a
company of friends waiting to greet
the newcomers.

o'clock this morning to be tried on a
charge of disturbing the peace.
'YOu see, have never been In court

know anything about courts and would
like for you to tell me all that is said

Justice Williams, who was waiting to
try a number of other cases, replied
that he did not have the time to ex-
plain all the details of a police court
trial, and told her to appear today and
she could get the information then.
Mrs. Shaw was arrested on the COM

She is said to have abused the wife of
her neighbor and to have used such
threatening language that the woman is

the result.
