: WASHINGTON. July 19.offi.
GERS of the signal service, here ia
watch the Wright brothers, are
astonished at the way millionaires
of this country and Europe have
taken up the flying craze. Hum
dreds of aeroplanes and dirigib1es
have been bought by rich men and
women since summer began.
Col. d. II. R. Green. son of Het-
ty Green. Is one of those who have
bought aeropIanes from the
Wright brothers. He gave s10.-
600 for his.
1t is plain to army men that
this enormous outlay will have an
important sequel. The time has
come when rules of the air must
be made Just as rules of the road
were made. They Will govern
flying ia all nations. and Will pre-

Signal officers say the new laws
OF airways will be made easily.
The air has infinite length and
widths. but only six miles or less
of height. So the fastest airships
Will be forced to stay in the high

the earth. Officers who have
given the matter great attention
and study have already formed
tentative rules for air navigation.
They place the heavier. less rap

of packages, on the lowest level

JOHN D. IS So FUNNY
ASSERTED THAT HE SELLS OIL
CHEAPER THAN WATER.
niece Praises Magnate; Regards Head
of Standard Company as a Man
Among Millions and Sees No
Reason Why a Million Other Men
Could Not Be as Successful as He;
Discusses Value of Water.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 11.--John D..
Rockefeller as philanthropist and
as an example for the nation TO copy,
was held up to the consideration OF
the National Irrigation congress by
w. j. MCGEE, secretary of the inland
waterways commission of Washington.
DR.. MCGEE frankly said he admired
Mr. Rockefeller. He regarded the
standard Oil magnate as a man among
millions and saw no reason why a
million other men could not be as
successful as he.
DR.. MCGEE was speaking of wateI
as thing which in value to the hui
man race in proportion to all other
recessarieS is 100 to 1. He urged
the conservation of water on power,
irrigation and transportation.
"And, yet" said he. with water
thus valuable and necessary to the
human race, John d. Rockefeller
charges less for a gallon of oil after
it has passed through many processes
than spring water concern does for
a gallon of mineral water that ha
not been treated in any way.
II regard Mr.. Rockefeller as at
once a generous public benefactor and
a wise and careful business man. He
has had all the opportunity in the
world to exact an eXorbitant toll from
the public and yet he charges less for
oil than is paid every day for common
water
81 say the United States government
could do no better than profit by the
example of business man so astute
and who SO well conserves national
resources"
The address of Clifford Pinchot,
chief forester, caused something of a
sensation.
E. 7. Allen, United States district
forester, appealed for safe and sane
numbering and for the conservation
Of water. This subject also was dis
cussed by f. NJ Griffith of Wisconsin
and e. T. Campbell of Canada.
j. N. Teal appealed for enlargement
of the scope of waterways on the Pa.
cific coast
J. E. Chilberg, president of the
Alaskan-Yukon-Paci exposition al
Seattle, appealed for reafforestration
of the mountains for the protection OF
streams.

YOUNG FINANCIER JAILED
Involved in Deal That Nipped r. Au-
eustus Heinze.

New York, Aug. 11.-Donald l..
Persch, an ambitious young financier
whose offices constituted merely desk
room in a down town note brokers'
office, is in the Tombs in default OF
S50,O 900 bail and thereby hangs a tale
of tangled finance through which
somebody in Wall street nipped F..
Augustus HeinZe, One-time copper
king, for $4,000. Persch is charged
with the larceny OF 100000, profit
obtained by the sale of 1860 shares
of Ohio Copper common, and 4,6Oo
shares of Davis-Daly copper common,
which an agent for Heinze placed with
the Windsor Trust company of this
city as security for loan of $4,000.
in the same manner, as yet uneX-
planned, the stock was not held by
the bank, but was turned over to a
clerk acting for Persch and at the
latter's orders, thrown on the curb
market and sold for approximately
$50 600. How Persch obtained the
capital to carry through the deal, and
why the stock was relinquished by
the trust company are points to be
cleared.

SUMMER RESORT
SWEPT BY FIRE
Business Section and Hotels
Are Destroyed.

New York, Aug. IA disastrous
fire swept through the heart of Mon
ticello, Il famous summer resort, and
the county sceat of Sullivan county,
according to a dispatch to the New
York American. The dispatch says
that the business section of the town
has been destroyed, together with no.
tells and boarding houses, driving hun
drcds of summer residents into the
streets.
Aid was summoned from Middle
town, Port Jervis and Liberty, but at
last accounts it was reported that the
flames were still gaining Roadway.
The town was cut off from outside
communication by the burning OF tele-
phone and telegraph wires and a
shortage of water made the firemen,
who were aided by summer residents,
practically powerleSs.
The flames originated in a power
house in the rear of the Palatlne
House and swept quickly up the main
street, sweeping practically every
thing on both sides in its path for a
distance of half mile. The Man.
sion House, q hotel, was destroyed,
as was the Palatine.
From the meager information which
reached here, the village was prac-
tically Quilted and dynamite alone
served to check the flames in places.
Monticello is a famous summer re-
lation of about 1000, this number is
greatly increased by those who make
their summer homes there.

MEMORY VERY GOOD.
MRS. ROSE SUTTON PARKER ON
THE WITNESS STAND.
On Interview With Adams; Sister of
Oregon Officer Recollects Several
Points That Adams Fails to Re-
member; Positive in Her State
ments as to What Was Said

| Annapolis. Nd, Aug. 1l.-Mrs. Rose
Sutton Parker, whose testimony has
been looked forward to as Of sur
passing interest in the death on Oct.
IS, 1907, of her brother, Lieutenant
James n. Sutton, Jr., was the center
Of attraction at the session of the
court of inquiry. She took the stand
smilingly, was q willing witness and
demonstrated clearly that her mem
DRY of her interview with Lieutenant
Adams shortly after her brothers
death was much better than was the
recollection on the same points OF
Lieutenant Adams.
His testimony as to what was said
during this six-hour interview was
very largely 81 do not remember in
character.
| Mrs. Parker was positive in her
statements as to what was said and
done. 1t was notable from her teSti-
mony that whether or not Adams and
Sutton were friends, Adams and Mrs.
Parker parted most amicably after
little dinner party lasting couple OF
hours and ending about midnight at q
local restaurant at which Adams was
one of Mrs. Parker's guests. 1t was
remarked, too, that Mr.. Birney, coun-
sci for Lieutenant Adams, did not
press Mrs. Parker to any extent on
cross-eXamination. Indeed it may be
said that this feature Of the day was
q distinct disappointment and Mrs.
Parker herself expressed afterward
as having been one of the most Keen
ly disappointed. She said that she
had expected to be able to say great
many things to Mr. Birney that her
own counsel could not bring out on
direct examination.
There was a period of recalling
witnesses during which Colonel Doy-
en-, commandant of marines, Lieuten-
ant Willing and Lieutenant Adams
again took the stand. The two first
named cleared up points of minor i'm
portance.
Lieutenant Adams was grilled for
time by Mr. Davis. He was made
to lie on the big table about which the
court sits, and pantomime the firing
of the fatal shot.
In his demonstration he used an
unloaded service revolver. and as he
illustrated it, the bullet must have
entered Suttons head at different
point and from different direction
than was indicated by Surgeons Cook
and Pickrell. AS Lieutenant Adams
pointed the weapon the ball would in
all probability have come out of the
lieutenant's forehead from the back
of the head. Surgeon Cook testified
that the course of the bullet was
downward and backward.

TERRORIZED BY ELEPHANT
People of Clay Center, kan., Chased
Off the Street.

Clay Center, Kan, Aug. 11.-FOr
two hours the people of this town
were terrorized by eleven elephants
which escaped from show and
stampeded through the streets.
The trouble started when a small
dog bit at the heels of one of the ele.
plants. The elephant at once began
to trumpet and breaking from its
keeper, ran away. The other ten
elephants followed. Before the ele
plants were finally captured, a show
man was knocked from horse and
seriously hurt.
During the excitement the people of
the town kept off the streets.

FOR COEUR D'ALENE LANDS
Judge Witten Completes Drawings in
Idaho.

Occur d'Alele, Ida, Aug. 11.-Judge
Witten has completed the drawing
for the Occur dAlene reservation.
There was not the same enthusiasm
as was manifest on the first day,
probably due to the fact that numbers
after $4,000 are considered of little
value.
Many persons called at the land
office to confirm the announcement
that they had won. The first rejec-
ton of an application occurred when
the name of A. d. Boughman of Char
lotte, Mich, was read.
1t was rejected on the ground that
the notary public did not specify that
he WAS authorized to make out pa
pers for land drawing. Out Of the
5000 drawn this is found to be the
only one not properly executed.
