JOY RIDERS IN COURT.
Hearing Adjourned Two Weeks and
Boys Are Free Meanwhile.

George Rutter and Phillip Billiard, the
two young men charged with the theft
and wilful destruction of Lee Monroe's
car in the joy ride of the night of No
vember 10th, will get their preliminary
hearing two weeks hence.
Technically they had it this morning
but actually they did not. County At
torney Schenck was acting under the
theory that the case would be con-
tinued and, having a case in the dis
trict court to attend to, subpoenaed NO
witnesses. Major A. M. Harvey, attor-
ney for Rutter and N. B. Arnold, for
Billiard, asked that the hearing be held
this morning. Their ground for de-
manding a hearing was that Gen.
Wilder S. Metcalf, bondsman for Rut-
ter, was out of town and would be gone
two weeks and that should the case be
continued Rutter would have to go to
Jail to await the day.
The county attorney has the right
and the power to continue for any
length of time he desires and two
weeks were mentioned but when he had
heard the story of the defense he was
willing to do anything he could not to
willingly force the defendants confine-
ment. Judge Monroe, the prosecuting
witness has to leave the city tomorrow
night. The case could not be heard to-
morrow without much inconvenience
all around and the attorneys and court
were in a predicament to escape an
action which would certainly and un-
fairly send the young man to Jail
Less fortunate in financial backing
than Billiard, whose wealthy father
could furnish bond in any case. Rut-
ter's heart sank. He knew that 1t
would be a practical impossibility for
him to secure bail until General Metcalf
returned. He was seeing visions from
the inside of the bars when strange
proceeding took place.
That the chauffeur for the Monroe
car escaped the Jail is due to the wit of
his attorney, Major Harvey, who sprung
an innovation in the nick of time by
the consent of the county attorney.
.'Why not adjourn the case, then We
will need no other bond than we now
have. Let Mr.. Monroe be sworn SO as
to commence the hearing and adjourn
it, he recommended.
The idea was accepted Immediately
by the court and the attorneys.
Mr.. Monroe will arise and be sworn
said Judge Simon. The prosecuting
witness was then sworn and the court
adjourned further proceeding until De-
cember 3rd.

There were two Margaret Burtons in
Roxboro. OF course John Graham's
letter went to the wrong one. and of
course it was one Of those letters that
only one pair Of eyes-the ones for
whose delectation it had been written
should have looked upon. .51

Margaret sighed tnvoluntarily as she
refolded the letter-sighed because it
had not been intended for herself. It
was easy to read between the lines.
Why was not she the happy woman to
whom an old sweetheart had come
back? "' ..
She was comparatively a newcomer
In Roxboro and had never heard OF
John Graham. His straightforward
letter pleased and interested her. She
felt sure he was just the sort of per-
son she would have liked for friend.

lowing hard. How surprised she will
be! l wonder-if she-cared! Perhaps
that is why she never married"
Margaret took down her hat and
wrap. then suddenly stood still. 1t
was half past 3, and Miss Burton lived
at the other end of the village. Why
take the long walk in the afternoon
heat? The fact that the letter had
gone astray was no sign that the
writer would do the same. Miss Bur-
ton would simply be taken unawares.

not so surprising as one might be led

Miss Burton's only recognition Of Mar

The car is made of spruce and Is go
feet long, 21s feet wide, and 21s feet
high. 1t has 20 horse power motor
The propeller is in the front end of
the car and is connected with the
engine by a steel shaft. 1t is also
built of spruce and turns at the rate
of 450 revolutions per minute. A fixed
vertical surface is provided at the
rear end of the car to minimize veer-
ing, and horizontal surface attached
to the vertical rudder at the rear to
minimize pitching. A double hori-
Zontal surface, controlled by lever
and attached to the car in front of the
engine, serves to control the vertical
motion, and also to minimize pitching.
The position of the car very near to
the gas bag is one of the features of
the balloon. This is calculated to re-
duce the resistance of the suspension,
and places the propelled thrust near
the center of resistance. This airship
has a total lifting capacity of 1850
pounds, of which 500 pounds are avail
able for passengers, ballast and fuel.
When its official trials were had it
succeeded in attaining speed slight
ly less than twenty miles an hour over
a measured course. 1t also had an en-
durance run lasting two hours, during
which approximately 20 per cent. of
it's maximum speed was maintained.
Thus far this dirigible has served
during the comparatively short time
it has been in the possession of the
signal corps, very important pur.
pose in initiating officers of the corps
in the operation and construction of a
dirigible balloon. During the greater
part of the coming month the dirigible
will be put into use for practice pur
poses at Fort Myer. Later in the
summer it will be sent to the sigma
school and Staff college at For

cal character of the terrane.
"The development of two types is
considered advisable. One compare
lively small, of $4,000 or 100,0 900 cubic
feet capacity, to be used principally
for scouting purposes, and to limited
extent for carrying explosives for
demolitions or for incendiary pur-
poses, such as the destruction OF
bridges and supply depots close to the
mobile army or coast-defense fort
resseS.
"The second type desired In the
dirigible is for burden-carrying pur-
poses. The larger the airship the
greater the speed attainable, and the
greater its radius of action. There is
no reason to doubt that airships OF
500 900 to 100000 cubic feet capacity
may be developed ultimately to reach
a speed of SO or rs miles an hour"
In speaking of the aeroplane, Mai.
George o. Squire of the signal corps,
who has given a great deal of time to
scientific study of aeronautics, said;
"If the United States had possessed
in 1898 single dirigible balloon,
i even of the size of the one now at
Fort Myer, which cost less than $1O,-
600, the American army and navy
would not have long remained In
doubt of the presence of Cervera's
fleet in Santiago harbor.
"The world is undoubtedly growing
more humane year by year. We have
arrived at a conception Of the prin'
ciple of an efficient army and navy
not to provoke war, but to preserve
peace, and it is believed that, follow
ing this principle, the perfection OF
ships of the air for military purposes
will materially contribute, on the
whole, to make war less likely In the
future than in the past"
