ENGLISH PLANS TO MAKE
FLIGHT IN TWO WEEKS
Will Try Out Combined Hello
copter and AeropIane

MELROSE, Nov. 3o.-The English
airship, which has been under course
of construction by Peter English and
his son Fred for the last two years
near Sather station, will make its in
itial flight on Sunday, December 13.
All is ready excepting the testing of
the four new cylinder heads for the
engine, powerful eight cylinder ma
chine of great ligl1tness. and the in
ventors expect that these will prove
satisfactory.
The English machine combines the
principle of Wright,s aeroplane with
those of heliocopter. though several
ideas in the latest dirigible balloons
are also incorporated in a novel way.
1t is claimed by the inventors that this
type of aerial craft will not only lift
itself from the ground, but will also
go ahead at the same time
The engine has given the inventors
the greatest trouble, as 1t was desired
to get one powerful and light enough.
More than a score of patents have been
taken out by the Englishes on their
invention.

vaudeville actress, is at last reconciled
with her daughter Fiji" who is, moro
formally, Mrs. James StiIlman, Jr.,

An hour later they emerged, wet as
could be- but with their arms around
each others waists. The Stillmans, it IL
said, always objected to the mother of

Then. too, James Brown Potter influ-
enced his daughter Eff" to remain

Surprising knowledge Of
Nitroglycerine.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Jan. 13.-[ Special. ]
In the case of Stuart Jelleff of Ripon
charged with carrying the tools Of a
burglar, the testimony was completed to-
day and this afternoon arguments were
being made by the attorneys with 4 pros
pect of the case closing by the end Of the
the testimony of Jelleff himself who
made Il preposGessing Witness
1t was unnecessary for the state TO
show evidence that JeIleff robbed the
bank at Mineral Point, Wis, in 1901. for
the reason that Jellaff freely admitted
the robbery and stated he was sentenced
to serve ten years i'll the state reforma-
tory at Green Bay. His testimony rela-
tive to the nitro glycerine found on his
person when arrested on the present
charge was to the effect that the eX-
pioSive was not intended for any Grim
inal purpOse-that he had long since Civ
ell up all idea Of living anything but a
respectable and honest life. Jelleff told
how he robbed the bank at Mineral
Point by letting himself down through
the roof and blowing open the safe lie
said the money and securities, amount
ing to about $4,000 was recovered as
he had put 4 part Of it in Il hotel vault
and Il large amount under a sidewalk.
He said the authorities had promised
him Il light sentence if he would show
them where the money was hid, which
he did. but he got ten years.
In explaining the carrying of the miro
glycerine at his late arrest, he said he
was interested in trying to take on
Stumps on lands by the use of the cZ-
plosiye and in his testimony he showed
himself an expert i'll the making and
handling of the nitrogiycerinc lie also
told Of the use he had for the other tools
found upon him, including tweezers. flash
lights and fuses and other tools
One OF the chief witnesses for the state
in the trial was O. r. Stevens. draft
clerk at the Commercial National bank
Of this city who received Il note from
Jelletf on the day Jellaff was arrested in
which Jelleif asked tc see the clerk and
requested him to name the time and
place. Stevens testified he had met Jel-
left at Ripon through relatives and that
Jelleff had told him about the robbine
of the Mineral Point bank and had asked
him questions concerning the CONNER
cial National bank, where JeIIef had
been hanging around for some time pre-
vious to his arrest. Stevens said be be-
came suspicious when he received the
note and turned it over to the bank au,
