WORKMAN INVENTS FINE
NEW WIRELESS SYSTEM
Man in Paris Has Rare Apparatus
Which He Built Out of Old
Cans and Bottles

PARIS, May 30.-Jean Naudin, a
workman, earning about a dollar 4
day at the Toulon arsenal, has invented
what is said to be a vastly improved
wireless apparatus, which is now being
tested at the direction of the minister
of marine with view to its adoption
in the fleet
The original apparatus was con-
structed ingeniously out of old cans,
umbrella ribs. discarded bottles and
various other articles which Naudin
found to be within his reach and small
means.
Naudin already has several complete
inventions to his credit, including a
method of photographing wireless dis
matches

AUTO POISFS AT
BRINK OF DEATH

say it was the most marvellous escape
from death of which they have ever
seen or heard.
When Jorgensen had been cared for
as best as could be under the circum-
stances the party started down the
grade to Schumakers ranch, where
they remained last night.
Early this morning other automobiles
will go to the scene of the accident
with block and tackle to endeavor to
raise the racer from its present posi-
ton.
The Black Bess is one of the fastest
racers in the country, and twice has
won the Mount Badly twenty-five mile
race along the same course where yes
terday's accident happened 1t was
also the car that won the Los Angeles
to Phoenix race about a year ago.
The driver, Colonel Fenner, who per-
formed the heroic act in keeping his
machine under control, is widely
known as an expert auto driver and
has driven the Black Bess in all her
winning races.

THOUSANDS ARE
AWED BY FLIGHT
CONTINUED from Page One,


Trouehtlingen, a small city in central
Bavaria, were awakened by the noise
of the propellers of the craft, which
was passing slowly
This was the first time the count had
journeyed over Bavaria, and his arrival
an hour and a half later at Nurem-
berg caused the greatest surprise to
thousands of pleasure seekers, who
were preparing for the holiday eXcur-
sions.
The shin Unanswered over the city
and then a card was thrown out, staJ-
ing that a greater amount of water and
benzine had been used than was eX-
pected, and that the craft would
descend to the surface of Lake Dut-
zenteich to replenish the water supply.
Continued His Cruise
This. however, was not carried out.
Count Zeppelin continued his cruise
onward without interruption in direct
line toward Berlin, passing over several
towns at a low altitude, then when he
reached the frontier of SaXony the air
ship was headed straight for Leipsic.
TeleCrams received there from the
south indicated that Count Zeppelin
would make a landing, and the entire
population waited for several hours in
the streets and open spaces to greet
him.
Instead of landing, the count put his
craft through a series of maneuVers
for a half hour coming at times com
paratively close to the tops of build
ings. He then went on, crossing Halle
TO Bitterfeld. No time was wasted
there, and to everybodys surprise the
airship, after describing circle,
turned again and sailed to the south.
In the meantime the military au-
thorities at Berlin were absolutely
without advices as to the count S
plans. Major Gross, commander of the
army balloon corps, said that no ar
rangements had been made for the
landing Of the airship at Tegel, the
military balloon headquarters
The local authorities, however,
learned from private dispatches that
the airship was approaching, and SO
informed the emperor and the princes
When it was definitely announced that
the airship would not land here the
crowds at first refused to give ere
denee to the report, but finally dis
persed,

HUGH M'CRECCOR IS DEAD
FROM INJURIES YESTERDAY
End Came to U'eu Kn0lDn Carpenter,

the arm was broken in three places.
His head was badly cut, the nose
broken, and the chin badly gashed.
Had it not been for the upraising of
the arm. death must have been in
StantaneOuS.
Hope for his recovery was not
abandoned until after 10 o'clock last
night, although his chances were held
to be very slim from the first. At 10
o'clock the patient was practically
pulseless and all efforts possible to
put forth thereafter failed of
results. His decline from that hour
until death was checked at only oc-
casional moments by the administra-
tion of powerful medical aids.
The people around Copper Flat
have been in deadly fear of the blast
ing in the roadside for several days,
and the impression Is that the man
in charge of the shooting gang is
either careless or ignorant in the
handling of the powder. Evidently
his charges are too heavy for sur
face work, for at every shot the rocks
go up into the air in showers, and
the wonder is that somebody has not
been seriously hurt before this.
Mr.. McGreggor was one of the
best known men in the district, high
ly esteemed and general favorite
with all classes. He was considered
one of the best workmen at the
Flat, as well as one of the most re-
liable of men. He was unmarried
and his only relative in the imme-
diate district, is brother, Sandy Nc
Greggor, who was soon at the scene
of the accident yesterday, and ac-
companied his brother to the hos
pital, being with him at the end.
Hugh McGreggor was about 40
years of age and had been in the dis
trict several years. Quiet and unpre-
tentious, he attended to his own af-
fairs, but found time to give afo
where needed and deserved, without
ostentation. He worked at the con-
centrator during the construction Pc
riod and subsequently on construc-
tion at Veteran, copper Flat and
other properties of the camp and
was known and esteemed by all for
his skill and reliability. The time
of the funeral will be arranged to-
day. 1t will doubtless be held under
the auspices of the labor organiza-
tions of the district, either tomorrow
or Sunday.

ANTICIPATE
FLOODS IN
THE OHIO
Conditions Favor Vista Vista
tiOnS Of Greatest Known
Seyerity--Rivers Frozen

PITTSBURG, Dec. 30.-The op-
perfume coming of zero weather in
Pittsburg and throughout western
Pennsylvania has temporarily post
poned, here and at West Virginia
and Ohio places bordering the Ohio
river, a destructive flood.
For years the conditions have not
been so favorable for wild, record
breaking rampage of the Ohio river.
The latter is now practically frozen
from this city to Cincinnati. It's
tributaries are in a similar state.
while the Christmas blizzard depos-
tied from ten to fifteen inches of
snow over all the river drainage ter
ritory.
Indications given by the weather
bureau are that warm weather is
headed this way and serious floods
are feared, should a big thaw be
precipitated. If accompanied by
rain, as is likely, torrents would
sweep from the mountains into val
leys and from this city to New Or
leans great havoc would certainly re-
suit. Not in 20 years have all con-
ditions been so ripe for the making
of floods of unprecedented extent and
height.

JAPAN SENDS NEW DIPLOMACY.
Lecturer Tells How Toxic Children
Pledge Good Will to America.

WASHING ION. d. c.. Dec. 3d.
A brand new diplomacy was today in
augurated on the part of the Jap
anese people to dispel all thought OIL
war with the United States. Masuji
Miyakawa was the unofficial diplomat
without credentials and without res
possibility to any of the usual au-
thorities to which diplomats bow, and
the new diplomacy was embodied In
lecture upon the land of the Mikado
delivered here this evening for the
first time in the United States. Mr..
Miyakawa will visit many other cities
One essential feature of the lecture
was a resolution adopted by the
school children of Toxic in which
they declared they would never raise
sword against the United States.
and that they would emulate the ex-
ample of the boys and girls in the
public schools of America.
Mr.. Miyakawa explained that prior
to the wars with Russia and China.
the school children had been taught
that they would have to fight for the
Mikado against those enemies. For
years before the open conflict had
broken out this kind of instruction
had been given to the children who,
growing to manhood, had their minds
firmly fixed upon war as their patrio-
tic duty. The lecture, it is under
stood, was prepared largely with the
approval of leading statesmen of jap
an. It's whole purpose is to promote
in this country a friendly feeling
toward Japan.

WIFE Defends WATSON.
Says Her Brother-in-Law Is Trying to

NEW YORK, Dec. ?-.-The
following message was receiv-

Maureen Watson, who, with her hus-
band, William Watson, the poet, is
now staying at the Hotel'Trocha, Ha-

.sMr. Robinson Watson's message
to New York newspapers is wicked
attempt to ruin my husbands repu-
tation. 1t accords well with his con-
duct for years past"
Robinson Watson, who is a brother
of the poet, wrote to certain news
papers few days ago from Montreal
a long statement to the effect that his
brother was mentally unbalanced,
and that his much discussed poem,
"The Woman With the Serpent's
Tongue" was due to this condition.

.A|RSH|P IS A
STARTLER IN
THE HEAVENS

WORCESTER, Mass, Dec 30
Flying at speed of from 80 to 40
miles an hour, a mysterious airship
tonight appeared over Worcester
lowered over the city a few minutes,
disappeared for about two hours anG
then returned to cut four circles
above the gaping city, meanwhile
using searchlight of tremendous
power. Thousands of persons
thronged the streets to watch the
mysterious visitor.
The airship remained over the
city for about Is minutes all the time
at height that most observers set
at about 1000 feet, too far to en-
able even it's precise shape to be
seen.
At the time of the airship's visit
Wallace e. Tillinghast, the Worces-
ter man, who recently claimed to
have invented marvellous aeroplane,
in which he said he had journeyed to
New York and return by way of Bos-
ton, was absent from his home ana
could not be located.
The visitor from the clouds was
first sighted over Marlboro at $40.
The 16 miles between this city and
Marlboro 1t covered in 80 minutes.
Veering it disappeared to the south
east.
Two hours later an eager shout
from the waiting crowds announced
its return. Slowly, it's light sweep
ing the heavens, it circled four times
above the city and then disappeared,
finally heading first southerly and
then to the east.
