TRIBUTE TO WRIGHTS
DAYTON GIVES WORLDS CHAMPION
AVIATORs AN OVATION.
Cannons Were Doomed, whistles
Shrieked and Bells Were Rung
To Mark Beginning OF
Day OF CeIebratiOn.

Dayton. O., June 1T-Somebody at
dawn today yelled "Hooray for Little
Old Dayton" which, coupled with the
names of Wilbur and orville Wright,
Immediately became the slogan Of Day.
toms two days celebration in honor OF
the worlds champion aviators
BY the booming of cannon, shrieking
of whistles and ringing of bells, the
citizens of Dayton made 1t known that
whatever claim the rulers Of Europe
or the government at Washington has
upon the Wright brothers, theirs is
that Of fellow townspeople.
The ceremonies began at Q q. m. At
that hour the streets were thronged
with people. For ten minutes every
| whistle, bell and tin horn in town join
ed in an outburst of hilarious sound.
From many triumphant arches, swung
outstretched aeroplanes and on the
tops of tall buildings air craft were
made to appear ready for flight. On
one banner appeared the/ words "Am-
and Dayton is the home Of the first
aerial navigators."
other INSCRIPTIONS were: They're
the right Mr.. Wrights all right" and
The Wrights that made Dayton ia
nous"
Almost every Daytonian knows the
wrights from early childhood. Why"
SalQ one enlHuSlH6tp An6W w AAbQA
when a kid, we used to 60 swimming
in the Miami river"
Up to the hour of the opening cere-
mony, Wilbur and Orville, hammering
away in their workshop, were still
busy with their details af packing up
parts of an aeroplane for shipment to
Washington. Miss Katherine Wright,
sister, Bishop Milton Wright, the
father, and Lorin and Reuchlin, other
hod alRMaAx1N AnfAPaA the r.
rage when Wilbur and orville emerg-
ed from their homes. Escorted by
state militia, troops of regulars and a
brass band, the Wrights were driven
to a platform where they were given a
pageant representing events from the
founding of Dayton 11S years ago
kdown to the arrival Of the Wright
| brothers.
Conrad J. Schmidt. president of the
| local school board. thanked the avia-
tors for the fame they had brought
the city. other speeches were made,
| telling how, on what il known as HUI
mans prairie, eight miles east OF Day
ton, the Wrights in 1905, made the
record breaking flight which first
brought upon them the attention OF
the world; how the father of the boys
wears ago had given them a helicoptere
| to play with, and how It was really by
this toy that Wilbur and Orville were
stirred to the early experiments from
which the modern aeroplane was evolv-
ed.
The chief event of the celebration
will occur tomorrow when medals will
be presented by the nation, the State
of Ohio and the city.
| Governor Judson Harmon, Of Ohio
will present the State medals. Those
authorized by Congress will be pre-
scented by General James Allen, chief
signal ofiicer, who has been designated
by Secretary of War Dickinson for the
| purpose.
After completing their flights for the
government which are to begin at
| Washington next week, both the
Wrights probably in August will sail
for Germany to take up their work

For several months the great need of
more hospital space has become appar-

ness at the meeting yesterday. The
hospital is a very Important part OF
the Soldiers Home as the inmates are

decrepItude. 1t IL said that the per

nually for the support OF the inmatcs
is not in such distress as is the build

enough from the cows to cut down ex-
penses of maintenance greatly.

BRANDENBURG TRIAL
SUNDAY EDITOR OF NEW YORK
TIMES TESTIFIES.


New York, June 17.-Charles NJ. Lin
coln, Sunday editor of he New York
Times, was recalled to the stand to-
day at the continuation of the trial Of
Broughton Brandenburg, the writer,
on a charge OF grand larceny grow
ing out of the sale of an alleged forged
letter of the late Grover Cleveland to
The New York Times.
Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland, wild
ow the late ex-President, at the begin
ming of the trial, had testified that the
signature of Mr.. Cleveland attached
to the article was forgery. The
article was admitted providence at the
close of the session on Tuesday. On
cross examination by Attorney jacob,
for the defense, Mr.. Lincoln stated
that he had twice sent reporter to
F. S. Hastings. one of the executors
OF Mr.. Cleveland's will, to ascertain If
the article was genuine. Two letters
which the witness said the reporter had
secured from Hastings were admitted
In evidence. In one OF them over the
signature of f. s Hastings, the state
mant was made that the writer had
given Brandenburg "a formal written
assignment by which he has the exelu-
sive right to said article"
The second letter in part said:
IT have examined the signature sub
mitted to me by Mr.. Ybarra and COM
pared 1t with others OF Mr.. Cleveland's
and believe that the one submitted by
Mr.. Ybarra is genuine. I have no rea-
son to believe that the article fur
nished you by Mr.. Branbenburg pur-
porting to have been written by Mr..
Cleveland, is not genuine" ....
Mr.. Lincoln adhered under cross ex-
animation to his positive Identification
of the article as the one Brandsn-
burg had given him. He had cut OF
the signature and preserved 1t in a
small envelope after sending the article
to the composing room. he testified.
In answer to further questions by
the defense the witness said he had
not relied on Brandenburg's represen-
tatlons as to the genuineness of the
article, his reliance being placed solely
| on the statements made by Mr.. Has
tinRs. Brandenburg had told him
when the article was first presented
that 1t and the signature was genuine
and he had never called their authen-
ITCHY in question to Brandenburg. he
declared. Mr.. Lincoln further testified
1 that the original article had been re-
turned to Brandenburg after Its publ
cation; that Brandenbur CHAD objected
| to the signature having been cut on
and that he informed the defendant
that the signature would not be giver
up because the genuineness of th'
article had been questioned. He die
not know that Brandenburg had late
voluntarily returned the article to thu
newspaper office, follwoing the agita
ton over it's genuineness. although /
might have been given TO some on
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-06-18

else there. Tuesday of this week was
the frst time he had seen 1t again, he
declared. The witness said that he
had no recollection OF Brandenburg's
saying anything about intending to sell
the article to the Republican National
Committee, but stated that that COM
mitee had called the ONCE on the tel
ephone and asked permission to use
the article and credit to The Times.
After Mr.. Lincoln had stated on re-
direct examination that Brandenburg
had told him he needed the signature
for his own protection, Mr.. Lincoln
was excused, and the prosecution be-
gan to read Brandenburg's testimony
before the grand jury which indicted
him. In this testimony, Brandenburg
had stated tina the had typewriter
the article himself.
"Who signed IT." was the question.
Mr.. Cleveland" was the answer
the prosecutor read.
The writer then told of Offering the
article to several magazines before Of
fering 1t to The Times and of Mr.
Cleveland's disappointment at the price
offered. He also told of conversations
with Mr.. Hastings, after the ex-Presl-
dents death in which the writer de-
clared that Mr.. Hastings specifically
authorized him to sell the article.
Mr.. fCleveland's signature, Branden-
burg testified, was attached about
March 6, 1908.
