WRIGHTS IN PROTEST.
Will Fight Use of Bleriot and Farman
Airships, Calling Them Patent
Infringements.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Any attempt
to make flights in this country with a
Bleriot or Farman aeroplane, or any
other foreign made flying machine, they
consider an infringement of their pat
ents, will meet with the opposition of the
Wright brothers.
Announcement to this effect was made
today by Wilbur Wright in connection
with q report of the proposed importa-
ton of a Bleriot monoplane by H. Hay
den Sands of New York, and the pur-
chase of a Farman biplane by J. w.
Curzon Of Jackson, Miss.
IF these machines are brought to this
country for the purpose of making flights
we will file suits against the owners"
said Mr.. Wright. Both the Bleriot
machine and the Farman machine are
infringements of our patents"
While Mr.. Wright has assembled his
aeroplane, with the exception Of the hori-
zontal rudder, it is probable that he will
not make flight tomorrow. His motor
is ready for testing, and the monorail is
ready to be placed in position.
Mr.. Wright has decided to attach a
canoe to the under part Of his aeroplane.
will not fill with water in case he is
compelled to alight in the bay. The
canoe will be placed we'll in front, as
Mr. Wright believes the tendency Of the
machine on striking the water would be
to plunge forward on account Of the
shape Of the planes.

MAY NOT BE DIVORCED.
Appleton Judge Says There ATE Many
People in Whose Cases Judgment
Was Not Entered

APPLETON, Wis, Sept. 25.-[Spe-
cial. ]-'"There are at least two dozen and
possible as many as thirty-fve or forty
people in Outagamie county who believe
they are divorced. but who in reality are
still bound by the holy bonds of matri'
mony," said Judge Thomas Fl. Ryan in
municipal court this morning, after in
formation had been conveyed to him to
the effect that judgment in large num-
Der of divorce cases had not been prop
erly entered by the clerk of court, which
official does not make an entry Of this
kind until the attorney in the case pays
clerks fees amounting to S. and the
state tax amounting to 81. Judge Ryan
insists that q divorce decree is not COM
plete nor is it legal until judgment has
been entered on the clerks docket. A
search of the records will be made, for
years back and in every instance where
it is found that the judgment has not
been docketed the parties concerned will
be notified and warned that their divorce
decree will not be made legal until the
clerk fees and state tax is paid.

LAND CRAFTS ALLEGED.
Residents on Odanah Reservation Tell
Senators They Had to Pay for
AllotmentS

ASHLAND. Wis, Sept. 25.-[Spe-
cial. 1-Sensational charges of land graft
ing on the Odanah Indian reservation in
the allotment of land to Indian families,
were made before the subcommittee Of
the United States Senate committee on
Indian affairs Friday. Dan Morrison
testified that when Farmer Patterson
had charge of the Odanah reservation
he (Morrisonl signed an order for $3.50
for Patterson. the latter agreeing to see
that one of Morrison's children secured
a choice allotment. Morrison said that
unless he did this he could not get
valuable tract. Antoine Dennis also
testified that Farmer Patterson had put
his name on the list for a valuable allot-
ment upon the promise that Dennis was
to pay him 5000 afterward. He said
that Farmer Sero urged him to affix his
signature which he refused to do.
Sero denied Dennis statement when
called to the stand, but said that in the
case of Morrison he had heard rumor
that Morrison had agreed to pay to get
his allotment.
The banquet which was to have been
rendered the senator's tonight has been
cancelled to allow the senators to hold
a hearing at the reservation.

TO COME CLOSE TO EARTH.
NO DANGER is ANTICIPATED.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 25.-[Special.l
THE long expected Halley's comet,
after an absence of seventy-four years,
has been rediscovered within the past
fortnight by means Of photography, and
has been seen by at least two astrono-
mers." said Prof. G. G. Comstock, direct
or of Washburn observatory at the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, today. The comet
will come within 100000 miles of the
earth on May Is. passing between the
sun and this planet, and may envelop
the world with its tail. No danger need
be feared from that fact, however, Prot.
Comstock gives assurance, since the tails
of comets are entirely harmless.
Most Brilliant Comet.
although now barely visible in the
most powerful telescopes, it will grow
steadily brighter until, in the spring OF
1910, it should be more brilliant than
any comet that has appeared in the last
quarter of a century" continued iroh'
Comstock.
anticipating this return, the astrono-
mers of America appointed committee
a year ago, to devise ways and means
of observing the comet in the most eHectec

ocean an expedition to observe the comet

prior to the actual discovery of the
comet, the extent to which the plans couIo
be executed was a matter of doubt, since
the appearance to be presented Dy the
comet and the closeness Of its approach
to the earth depend upon the exact ume
Of it's return. A retardation OF even
week at the end of its seventy-four year
period is of considerable consequence.
These uncertainties have now been re-
moved by the discovery of the comet
very close to the place in which 1t was
expected. 1t appears from the observa-
tons that its nearest approach to the
sun will be made on April Is, 1910, at
distance Of about 100000 miles. r
May Wrap Tail Around Earth.
"a fortnight later the comet passes
very close to the planet Venus, and on
May Is comes within 100000 miles Of
the earth, passing between us and the
sun, and possibly enveloping the earth
with it's tail. Not the slightest appre-
hension of danger in this connection need
be felt, however, since comets tails are
entirely harmless"
