UP IN THE AIR.

The question has arisen as to the
right of aviators to the air. Do they
have the right to pass over anybody's
property, or are they, in doing so, guilty
of trespass? N
On first thought it would seem absurd
to question the perfect freedom of the
air. but an aeronaut has been held liza
Bile, in a London court, for damage done
to 4 telephone wire by his graphing
iron, and it is noted that the principle
involved is of a much wider appllca-
ton

significance, an indefinite extent, up

loon or aeroplane that makes an air
voyage. therefore. passes through the
property of many owners. No actual
damage may be done But that is I'M
material. It is held A man walking
across another's field may not do any
damage and yet be IL trespasser.
It is claimed that court decisions rel.
alive to shooting across n mans land
are applicable to balloons. In one of
these the judge said:
at is said that no damage was proved
to have arisen to the plaintiff. In one
sense that is true. Still
!. . the traversing OF the land by
the bullets in the use of the 600 yards
range is not unattended with risk and
certainly 1t will cause a not linreason-
able alarm, which renders the occupa-
ton of that part of the farm less en-
joyable than the plaintiff is entitled to
have it. | am satisfied. therefore,
that the plaintiff had a legal grev-
ance.'
1t is evident that If aviators are held
to be tresra ssers unless they sconfine
their voyages to air which they them
selves OWN, air navigation. except over
the oceans that are common property,

Another question that has atisen Is
that of customs when an airshIp passes
the boundaries of a foreign country.
France has invited Germany to join in
a conference to consider ways and
means of regulating alrship traffic, as
similating the rules of the air to the
rules of the sea. German aeronauts
are urging their government to COM
ply, as they now find that when they
land in France the French custom
house officers make them pay heavily in
dues for the privilege of coming down
to earth
The supposition is that many of the
aeronauts are really spies who taxi. ad Y
vantage of their position in the air TO
obtain Information of military import
#ance which they could by no other
means obtain, and that it is necessary
to have some regulations by which to
prevent this.
All of which shows, that aviation has
progressed far enough TO present prob
lens of a legal and International ma
ture. Balloons and aeroplanes are no
longer mere toys

mentioned that the managers of the

KILLS SELF WITH KERCHIEF.
Negro Murderer Uses Novel Method
I'm Taking His Own Life.

New York, March 2S.-James VAN
go, a young negro. who, after his ar
rest in Chicago, confessed that he had
murdered Isadore Devallant, night
clerk in the Eastern Hotel here, for
the purpose Of robbery. strangled
himslf in his cell in the Tombs prison
early today.
Vango used a method to encompass
his death, which required almost
Spartan courage. He twisted a hand
kerchief around his neck. and. after
tieing it securely, tightened it with a
small piece Of lead pencil. which he
used as tourniquet until 1t closed his
windpipe. He then threw himself on
the cot, placed his hands under his
abdomen, buried his face in the pill
low and waited for death.

COTTON MARKET CONDITIONS
movement During Past Week Has
Been Small--Market Resists Every
Decline.

New York, March 26.-Prices have
changed little during the week. The
tendency has been towards steadiness
in the old crop months, and some
thing like dragging in the new crop
options. Speculation has continued
dull and trade at home and abroad is
reported quiet. Some large spot in
terests here are belived to be against
the market and to be selling October,
December and January steadily. as
well as more or less May, and there is
little outside support On the other
hand, cotton is by many people con-
sidered cheap and the market dis
putes every decline and shorts cover
readily on the slightest cause Much
OF the time Liverpool has done good
spot business and has been a steady
buyer here of May in liquidating
straddles.
The May option is watched with a.
good deal Of interest. The tendency
Of late has been for both May and
July to increase their premiums over
the later months. 1t is predicted that
May will reach a much higher pre-
MUM later on when it can be put up
without too much danger of attract
ing big shipments to New York. There
is believed to be large short interest
here and at Liverpool both on strad-
dies and hedges. Liverpool shows a
disposition to liquidate these transac-
tions at the present level of prices.
Within a day or two large Chicago
grain operators have sold out consid-
cradle holdings Of July without dis
turbing even a narrow market.
