DAYTON, Ohio, June 1S.-The ma

they live today paid tribute to Wilbur
and Orville Wright, the aviators.
Standing on a platform not far from
their unpretentious little aeroplane fac
tory almost within sight of field
where they first struggled with the
problem of aerial navigation, Gen.
James Allen, chief signal officer of the
army, assigned by Secretary of War
Dickinson for the purpose, presented to
the Wright brothers the gold medals
authorized by act of congress.
At the same time were given them
diamond studded medal bearing the
official seal of Ohio and another from

the suggestion that the next route for
speeding would be among the clouds.
To Leave Today
Immediately after the ceremony the
Wrights hurried to their factory to
prepare for their departure tomorrow
for Washington, where next week they
will resume their flights to satisfy
government requirements.
Wilbur Wright, on receiving the
medals, 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 Shakespeare or Tenny-

scription, public sentiment being such
in America that whatever was needed
would be forthcoming instantly.
Behind the Wrights today on rising
tiers sat $500 school children dressed in
red, white and blue arranged to repre-
sent an American flag.
The days program was colsed by a
parade in which was represented the
revolution of locomotion, the crown

WILL GIVE TO DURAND
FULL SWING IN CENSUS
Secretary Nagel Determined to Have Only General
Supervision Over Decennial Enumeration Plenty
of Time to Learn Affairs of Office

In taking the next census (. Dana
Durand. the man Who has been nomi-
mated by the President as the sue
cessor of Director North, will have the
fullest authority and will he give n
blanket powers
This information comes from Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Nagel
and it is a reply to the criticism of
some members of Congress that too
many cooks spoil the BROTH and that
a census cannot be taken accurately
If the Directors work is interfered
with by the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor, under whom the Census
Bureau is operated. N1T- Nagei says
he intends 70 exercise only the most
general supervision. and that Mr.
Durand will be relied on and Will ne
expected to deliver the results re-
quired.
Another objection to Durani's ap-
pointment which is not bnthering Mr..
NaEel at all is the one frequently
voiced Of late that Durand cannot
