WR|GHTS Will
FLY By NIGHT
Believed the Aviators Will Ac-
complish the Great Army
Test This Evening

Washington, June %. - Orville
Wright is scheduled to make a pre-
liminary flight in his aeroplane at
Fort Myer late this afternoon. Every
thing is in readiness and unless the
wind is too high it is not expected
there will be postponement. Wilbur
Wright today said that the course
lying from Fort Myer to Alexandria
would be most likely to be used by
his brother for making the ten mile
speed trial. AS Orville Wright and the
machine that he used last year made
a speed of thirty-eight miles an hour
without using the fu;, power of his
motor, it is expected. by the Wrights
and those who have watched their
work closely, that they will succeed
in making at least forty miles an hour
in the speed trial and possibly more
Last year Orville Wright was not able
to use the full power of his machine
because Of flying around the drill
grounds. But in making a straight
flight he will be able to use the full
power, because it will be unnecessary
to reduce the speed for making turns.
AS the time taken by Wright to turn at
the end of the course will not be
counted in. figuring his speed it will
not be necessary for him to slacken
his headway until he crosses the line
and it will give him sufficient time to
regain full speed after turning before
he again crosses the line on the re-
turn trip.

Believed the Work Was Part of the

phone Company Refused to Handle
Tips on the Races,

Chicago, June 28.-The cause of the
explosion which last night wrecked
the telephone exchange in the busi-
ness district, did 100000 damage to
property, inflicted injuries which may
be fatal to one man and slightly
wounded fourteen others, is still un-
explained. After hours of careful in
vestigation the police were unable to
determine whether the detonation
was the work of persons desiring to
harm the telephone company, or an
other of the series of bombs which
have marked the progress OF what is
known as the gamblers war" A
number of employees of the telephone
company are on strike. The principal
damage was to the conduit through
which the conveying cables of the
telephone company pass to the central
exchange, 92-96 Washington street.
The Chicago Title and Trust buildings
sixteen stories high, next door to the
Telephone exchange was among the
buildings damaged. Fifteen cables
which control $4,000 telephones were
broken and twisted by the explosion.
One of the theories on which the po-
lice is working, although they are in
clined to believe that the telephone
strike has some connection with the
outrage, is that the refusal of the tele-
phone company to permit it's wires to
be used in the transmission of bets
on the races has brought it under the
ban of persons connected with the
gambling fraternity. Assistant Chief
of Police Schuettler declared today
that dynamite was the explosive used.

CRUSADE HAVING
DESIRED RESULT
White slavers Being Driven
From Chicago by the Siren
uous Campaign ,

Chicago, June 2S.-Great alarm is
reported among the cadets or mac
queros" OF the cities, the men who
live at ease off the degradation of the
girls they hold in white slavery and
who number between 5000 and TO-
600 in Chicago alone. Official expos
ure of their heinous role in the sys-
tematic white slave traffic has begun
to weaken their grip on their victims
and bring them into serious trouble
in several cities.
Reports secured by Assistant States
Attorney Clifford G. Rec of the Wom-
ans World committee show that the
exodus has begun from Chicago, ow-
ing to the impending enactment of a
drastic law aimed at cadets. In
Cleveland, o., recently a gang of ca
diets, who piled pocket-picking and
robbery as we'll, was uncovered by the
testimony of a number of girls who
had been secured in New York and
taken to Cleveland. sold as white
slaves and held to life of prostitu-
tion and crime by the intimidation of
the cadets. One of the girls testified:
THE gang of crooks here get girls
from New York and after disposing of
them here, force them to help them
pick pockets and steal. The leader
of the gang here got me to come to
Cleveland from New York by promis-
ing me an easy and respectable live
lihood. When got here he made me
enter resort. He took most of the
money l made from me and threaten
ed my life when 1 demonstrated. He
said he stood in so we'll around
Cleveland that there would be nothing
said if he killed me. There are at
least fifteen other girls in the city
who have been brought here by this
man and others in his class. Most
Of them are in fear of their lives and
give up everything to the demands of
these men. In Cleveland these men
pick pockets and steal with more sue
cess than they did in New York"

CUT OUT POsTALs

Washington, June 2S.-Failure to
enclose tinseled or frosted post cards
in tightly sealed envelopes to present
the escape of particles of tinsels, mica
and the like, as required by the postal
regulations. is causing from fifteen to
twenty thousand of such cards to be
withdrawn from the mails and sent
to the dead letter Office OF the post
Office department every day.
Following the issuance of an order
by the department declaring cards of
such character to be unavailable un-
less enclosed in envelopes so treated
as to prevent injuries to employees,
post card dealers began supplying
their customers with flimsy transpar-
ent envelopes for enclosing the cards,
which has resulted in much difficulty
to the department.

SENATE WORKING
ON SCHEDULES
A Number of Items Fixed by
Agreement But Will Be in
Conference

Washington, June 2S.-Without de-
bate the senate placed cotton bagging
on the free list and agreed to the
house rate of three-tenths of cent a
pound on cotton ties. The concession
on bagging was made to save time.
The item will still have to run the
gauntlet of the conferences. The SEN
ate also made slight increase in the
duty on structural iron and steel,
when valued at more than nine-tenths
of one cent per pound. The motion
of Senator Stone to put structural
iron and steel on the free list was
voted down, as was motion by Sen
ator Cummins to reduce the rate.
Before the schedules could be taken
up. Senator Clapp gained the floor
and with view to eliminating from
the corporation tax amendment any
authority by which corporations may
own the stock of other companies, in
troduced modified form of the orig
inal text of the measure.
In connection with the same amend
ment Senator Culbertson proposed
modification by which the information
gathered by the commissioner of in
ternal revenue concerning corporation
revenues shall at any time be avail
able either by the house or the senate
or any committee of either body. Mani
Testing some impatience over the de-
lay Senator Aldrich forced the taking
up of the schedules at the first mo-
ment.
The action by the senate will mere
ly have the effect Of throwing the rate
on cotton bagging into the confer
ence, the house rate being six-tenths
of cent per square yard. The
southern senators have been demand
ing that they should be free but when
the paragraph was reached it was al
lowed to go through, Senator Culber-
son announcing that before the bill is
finally acted upon he would offer an
amendment placing cotton ties on the
free list. Senator Overman gave no.
tice that he would propose change
in the law by which there should be
q drawback OF duties on cotton ties
when imported.

whipgut and wormgut were by one
