FAMOUS AVIATORS
THRICE HONOR[D
Nation, State and City Bestov
Medals Upon inventors
of Airships

DAYTON, O., June 1S.-Wilbur and
Orville Wright, the aviators, today re-
ceived the medals awarded them by act
of congress. by the Legislature of Ohio
and by their home city of Dayton.
Immediately after the ceremony the
Wrights hurried to their factory to pre-
pare for their departure tomorrow for
Washington. where next week they will
resume their flights to satisfy govern
ment requirements.
Wilbur Wright on receiving the med
ais made a speech. in which he likened
an inventor to a poet, saying that
neither poet nor inventor would suffer
from Indifference if their wants were
really known. He declared that in his
belief if a Shakespeare or Tennyson
could be created by public subscription
public sentiment was such in America
that whatever was necessary would be
forthcoming instantly.
General James Allen, chief signal Of
ficer. representing Secretary Dickinson,
presented the national medals. Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio presented the
Ohio medals and Mayor E. E. Burk-
fart of Dayton gave the local medals.
Behind the Wrights on rising tiers of
seats sat $500 school children dressed
in red, white and blue and arranged to
represent an American flag.
The days program was closed by a
parade, in which was represented the
Evolution of Locomotion," the crown
ing feature being an aeroplane

ambassador, and Carlos G. Velez the
Cuban minister, We're among those at

other foreigners whom / met in the
clubs and commercial exchanges fed
me with stories discrediting to the
Japanese. There is just enough Irish
in me to make me want to take the
side of the under dog, so 1 did some
investigating on my own account.
las a result l told the foreign cham
Der of commerce that as long as they
handled Japan's foreign trade in
Japan they should at least refrain from
hammering the country and its peo-
pie. i warned them that they were
paving the way for the Japanese to
establish direct trade relations with
the rest of the world, particularly with
Canada. The chamber of commerce pro-
tested at Ottawa against my Interior
ence, and in their protest attacked the
commercial integrity of the japanese.
A copy of this protest was sent to me
and later published in Japan, and 1t
has been war for me ever since.
Foreigners in Japan control four
newspapers, which lose no opportunity
TO cast slurs on the Japanese people,
Japanese official told me that if some
of the articles published by a certain
British paper in Japan were trans
lated into the vernacular and dis
tributed among the people, the govern
ment would be powerless to save the
plant of that paper from destruction
by the mob.
This matter of the unfriendliness of
foreigners doing business in Japan has
been taken up by the ambassadors with
view to ending it or at least point
ing out its logical results.
Many of the foreign papers pub
lished in Japan are 10 better than the
Japanese paper very properly closed
up in Honolulu. l consider the Japan
csc people as honest as we are. They
have public officials who accept brides.
but they also have a government
which Furnishes them.
Nobody who has been in Korea
lately can doubt the change for the
better that is coming under Japan
csc guidance. and I believe that within
five years they will have so changed
the customs of the people that Korea
will be one of the best markets that
the western world will have"

to the New York Times of an article
purporting to have been written by
Cleveland. has largely conferred so far,
lost something of their Importance to-
day when Brandenburg's counsel an
nounced that his client would admit
that the signature was a forgery.
This occurred after Richard Watson
Glider, the veteran magazine editor,
had testified that the signature was not
that of his old friend, Grover Cleve-
land.
Brandenburg's lawyer said: I'VE do
not contend that the signature is genu-
inc. After Mr.. Glider and Mrs Cleve-
land have said 1t was not we would not
possibly presume that 1t was"
"sUBsTTTUTION,o SAYS DEFENSE
That's news to me-" said Assistant
District Attorney Mott you've pro-
tested right along that 1t was genuine"
We have not" replied the lawyer for
the defense. We are willing to stipu-
late that the signature in the glass case
is not genuine"
L am going to show more than that.

Mott Il am going to prove that the
defendant wrote that signature"
Brandenburg then said I'VE intend
TO show that the forged signature was

him for 1t when doubt of its genuine

Brandenburg returned the article the
next day and about two weeks later
Reick sent it to District ATTORNEY Je-
rome. He had examined the article
with c. r. Miller. editor in chief of the
Times, and Miller had expressed the
opinion that certain paragraphs sound

NEW POLICY IN REGARD
TO THE NAVY YARDS
Plan to Insure Steady Work for
Skilled Mechanics
TSpeciol Diseotch to The Call


VALLEJO. June ia new era has
dawned for Vallejo In the announce
ment of the policy of President Taft
in relation to the management of the
navy yards of the country. In the past
the yards have been overcrowded with
work when the fleets came-for dock
ing and repairs and then when the fleets
left the yard authorities were COM
PEELED to reduce the force materially.
This condition of affairs has proved
unsatisfactory to the yard. for 1t was
hard to secure and keep the highest
class of skilled mechanics. though the
conditions of employment and the
wages have been good.
1t is now proposed that few big ships
will be kept in active commission at
once. but that these will have their full
quota Of men. which In the case of
battleships means that a crew Of 1000
men will be carried. The ships which
need docking and repairs will be placed
in Ordinary and their crew reduced
10 q minimum while they are at the
yards undergoing repairs. The vessels
will take turns at the yards instead
of coming in fleets.
