OF fur or can have draped crown Of

trimming consists OF fur heads or
tails or perhaps a single big rose or
bunch of gardenias or again II may
be adorned in military fashion with
an outstanding bunch OF aigrettes. To
have the fur toque, neck scarf and
muff In black lynx is the very latest
fad, though both white and pointed

Skating Was Ripe

A crowd OF skaters spent half the
night on Saturday skating on the
South Salem slough The ice COW
ering this stretch OF water is very
dangerous at present owing to the
snow covering up all the holes and
cracks in the surface. One man by
the name Of Wheeler plunged
into one of these concealed holes, but
was fortunately near the shore and
broke himself out TO safety. Had not
II been for the slight covering OF
snow, the slough would have Afforded
some OF the best skating in years,
but II is both very rough and dang

DRiNK-MAD LAB0RER
CUTS BABY'S THROAT
THREATS AGAINST FAMILY ARE
EXECUTED
and When Consciousness Returns
Refuses to Confess to Feel
Ings of Remorse

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, July l. Daniel
Fellman, Russian railroad laborer,
in a drunken frenzy this afternoon
killed his 1-year-old son at his home
near Glenwood by cutting the child's
throat. He then attempted to com
NIT suicide by drawing a knife across
his own throat.
Fellman failed to cut deep enough
to sever the jugular vein and probably
will live.
Word of the tragedy came by tele-
phone tonight and Deputy Coroner Ell
son and Sheriff Trafton started i'm
mediately for Glenwood, which is
twelve miles from here.
According to the report received
over the telephone, Fellman had been
drinking heavily and several times
threatened to kill his wife and three
children. This mood eliminated late
this afternoon when he suddenly
seized his youngest child and almost
severed the head from the body with
a slash of sharp knife.
Fellman, according to telephone re-
ports, was conscious tonight, but ex-
pressed no remorse.

WRIGHT AIRSHIP
AMAZES CROWDS
THOUSANDS CHEER AS GREAT
MACHINE SAILS
Without Accident the Inventor Scars
at Speed of Thirty-six Miles
an Hour and Lands
With Ease
(By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, July 1.-Calm and
confident, Orville Wright late tonight
encireled the Fort Myer drill grounds
time after time in his aeroplane in three
separate flights.
He was cheered by thousands Of per-
sons. Shortly before o'clock the aero
plane was wheeled from it's shed to the
starting track. Previously the field had
been cleared by a troop of cavalry.
After the motor. had been tested the
propellers were cranked and Orville
turned on the motor and released the
machine. As it neared the end of the
starting rail Orville turned up the for
ward horizontal rudders and the ma
chine arose into the air. 1t was a
beautiful start
Down the field the aeroplane sailed,
curved gracefully about the lower end
and back up the east side of the field
along the edge of the Arlington ceme-
terry. The first round was made in 30
seconds.
Five times the machine circled the
field, attaining a height that varied
from fifteen to thirty feet.
On the sixth round Mr.. Wright came
to earth within a few hundred feet of
the starting point, completing the flight
in exactly five minutes. The landing
was perfect, the machine swooping
down in successive glides until within
a few feet of the earth, when Orville
pulled the string that stops his motor,
and the aeroplane glided smoothly over
the grass on it's skids until it came to
a stop.
And Again Ascends
Again the aeroplane was placed in
position on the starting rail- the motor
was tested, and again the machine en-
circled the field with ease and grace,
Mr.. Wright approached dangerously
near the starting tower and flew within
a few feet of the stables which line the
field.
1t was noticed that at times the mo-
tor skipped out, but this seemed to
have no effect on the progress of the
aeroplane.
on his second flight Orville made nine
rounds of the field in a few seconds less
than eight minutes.
In the third fight he was in the air
a few seconds more than nine minutes,
and encircled the field nine and a half
times.
For one complete round he flew very
close to the ground, evidently prepar-
ing to land This he did within 200
feet of the aeroplane shed.
During this last flight he reached a
height of forty feet
After the flights Wilbur Wright said:
1--WE did not make any changes in the
motor for today's trial. We only ad-
vanced the spark somewhat. We are
not using the full power our motor is
capable of developing"
Major Squire expressed the opinion
that the rounds of the first flight We're
approximately half a mile in length. |
AS the machine made these Eounds in
s. seconds, it probably was travelling
at speed OF from Sc to 3S miles an
hour.
Young Charlie Taft, who has been
almost a daily visitor, violated nearly
all of the rules set down by the Wrights
for the restriction of photographers. |
He was greatly pleased.
