Consul, the Almost Human Monkey,
Arrives In New York.
New, York, June 24.-Dressed in q
sailor suit with patent leather shoes
on his feet and his sailor cap set fiat
aback with slight list over his port
ear, Consul, the monkey which has
the newest star Of the vaudeville
stage. received reporters and pho
tographers yesterday on the sun deck
of the incoming North German Lloyd
liner, George Washington. He is an
intelligent appearing monkey, about
three feet in height when he stands
erect He came originally from Rho
desia, Southeast Africa.
When his manager took Consul of
the rail where he had been sitting
and put him on the deck, he tickled
the monkey under the arms until he
laughed out loud like q schoolboy
and turned somersaults to show his
Joy. William Morris, who was also
on the liner. said that Consul had
played shuffleboard with his little
boy on the awning deck, but they had
to be careful, as the animal was so
fond of going up the rigging.
Once, it is said, Consul climbed up
to the crows nest and played with the
lookou: man.
Throughout the trip Consul dressed
for dinner and had his meals served
at small table with his manager. In
the evenings he held receptions to
which the passengers were invited.
Apparently he did not like brass
bands and took delight in throwing
Brazil nuts at the trombone player.
Consul is insured for 100000.

GAR STRIKE IS
GETTING SERIOUS
The Cars Smashed in and In
teriors Covered With Brok-
en- Eggs

Lacrosse, Wis. June 24.-It was re-
ported this morning that the boy in
ju:ed in the strike rioting last night
had died today, Tut an Investigation
showed this to be incorrect. The youth
was struck down with a CLUB in the
hands of the strike sympathizers. Day
light showed that the damage done
by the mob at the car barns during
the night had been serious. Every
window in the barns were broken
with stones, while many Of the cars
were also smashed in the same way.
The cars we're also covered with eggs,
making many Of them unfit to ride

landing the four men he had taken
into his canoe, and as reward for
his services, one of the men offered
him large amount Of money. Mr..
Hines declined the offer, saying he
was only too pleased to have been
able to be of service.
Conjecture as to Explosion.
Mr.. Kahlert and his friends had
spent the afternoon at Marshall hall
and were returning to Washington
when tho accident occurred. What
caused the explosion is matter OF
conjecture. is said that one of the
men was smoking cigar and that
hot ashes dropped into a pan of gaso-
line. The woodwork of tho craft i'm
mediately caught fire, and though the
occupants endeavored to beat out the
flames they were compelled, owing to
the heat, to take to the water, just
as the tank burst and the entire boat
was wrapped in flames.
Mr.. Hines, whose canoe was about
fifty yards from the. launch when the
explosion occurred, drew revolver
from his pocket and fired three shots
in the air to attract attention. His
companions meantime padded toward
the burning boat, and in rendering as
sistance Mr.. Hines was slightly burn
ed about the face and hands.
Four Could Not Swim.
when the flames began to spread
said Mr.. Hines, 1.-The occupants of the
launch leaped into the water. One Of
the men released the tender, but be-
fore they could all get into the boat
it capsized, and they were again
thrown into the channel. Several of
the panic stricken men grasped my
canoe and nearly turned it over in
their efforts to scramble aboard.
managed to get four OF them in my
craft, and furnished the others with
life preservers, which were about to
catch fire when l snatched them from
the side of tho launch.
-Four of the party could not swim,
and by chance we managed to get
them into our canoe. The five equip
ped with life preseryers could swim,
and with the aid of the floats they re-
NAMED on the surface until the ten
der from the 'Lounger' reached them"
The watchman on the highway
bridge telephoned the "Firefighter," !"
and that craft lost no time in reach
ing the burning launch. Tho crew
succeeded in extinguishing the flames,
but not until great damage had been
done.

Washington, D. c., June 24.-Sec-
retary Wilson of tho department of

F|REBUG IS At
WORK IN ANETA
Attempted Destruction Of a
Building Just Recently
Reconstructed

Aneta, N. D., June 24.-About
o'clock Wednesday morning fire was
discovered between the walls of the
postoffice. The postoffice was gutted
and 8. B. Docks confectionery store
and the apartments of DR.. G. D. Powell
above had a narrow escape.
The fire was of incendiary origin
and kerosene was found on the out
side wall of the postoffice.
r. Nordeburg, while running to ring
the fire bell, fell and sustained bad
injury to his right leg. A strange
coincidence is that the same building
was burned six weeks ago and the
office of DR.. R. Meidell and s. B.
Docks confectionery were destroyed.

WR|GHTS ASK
FOR MORE TIME
Thirty Days Asked But Believ.
ed That Ten Will Be
..--...
=. Z Sufficient

Washington, June 24-Although the
Wright brothers today were granted
an extension of time thirty days in
which to complete their official trails
for the government, they are losing no
time in completing their flying ma
chine.
The first preliminary flight probably
will be made on Friday. The motor
was installed today. Today the start
ing apparatus will be set up and the
motor will be tested.
The Wright brothers again worked
at Fort Myer all of today. They are
exercising extreme precaution with
every detail of their machine, permit
ting no one except one or two army
officers within the shed and doing
most of the work themselves.
In asking for an extension Of time
the Wrights told Gen. Allen that they
did not believe it would be necessary
to have more than ten days in which
to make the speed and endurance test
but that as matter of precaution and
In order to avoid the necessit~ of ask
ing for further extension they de-
sired thirty days. This request was
Immediately granted by the secretary
of war with the understanding that
there would be no further delay. eX-
cept by causes over which the Wrights
had no control.
The field at Fort Myer has been
cleared of all possible Instructions
and it is hoped within a few days
trolley wires enclosing one-half of the
field will be taken down. AT present
the field is entirely enclosed in troll
ley wires. The three small balloons
which are to be used to mark the five
mile course for the speed trial were
today inflated.
1t is possible that Orville Wright
will accompany the signal officers to-
morrow on an automobile tour of in
spection of the various courses that
have been laid out for five miles from
Fort Myer. He will then select the
one he believes most advantageous.
The signal corps will then connect
the various points of the selected
course with telephone wires.
The great interest that the Wright
trials have aroused is already mani
tested by the large number of visitors
to Fort Myer daily. 1t is expected
that President Taft and most of the
members of congress will witness the
official trials. This has aroused the
hopes of the signal corps officials
for an appropriation next year for
aeronautical work.
Lieut.. B. D. Foulois of the aeronau-
tical division of the signal corps is
watching the work of the Wrights in
assembling their machine with great
care. He and Lieut.. Frank P. Lahm
are to be instructed by the Wrights in
flying their machine The instruc
tion flights will not begin until the
official trials have been completed
and it is practically certain that they
will be made at Fort Myer. although
the extent of the field is not as great
as Orville Wright would prefer. He
indicated today that starting appa-
ratus would be erected at each end
of the field for the instruction flights.
The Wrights must be in Germany by
September. Before they leave they
have considerable work to do at their
Dayton shop and the Fort Myer flights
will not be extended longer than is
ahsnlutely necessary.
