New York City.-How high must
an aviator fly to be safe from the con-
sequences of Illegal trespass? and
a great many other questions, not
burning now but considered as soon
to be hot ones, were treated by Lyt-
Teton Fox, lawyer, in an address to
members of the Aero Club of Amer
lea. The answer was that the aviator
would have to be out of sight. He
must dodge the police.
the old Roman law which gives to
the owner of land absolute ownership
also of the air above it is responsible
for this. The law must be changed,
he added, or the courts viii be ruin
ously congested AS matters stand,
there having been no changes in the
law for several hundred years, man
in flying machine has no rights that
a man with pillow is bound to re-
spect. The question Is how best to
bring the attention of the Judicial
system to this unfair discrimination
against the flying portion of the race.
No man can fly as things now stand
without technically breaking the law,
unless he gets special privileges from
the landowners.
1t is a problem that bristles with
novelty, says Mr.. Fox In the event
of pedestrians being hit by ginger
pop bottles dropped by the passing
aviator or by other objects, includ-
ing The aviator himself, the man be-
low would have redress at law. Mr..
Fox believes the Aero Club should
urge the Wright brothers, for in
stance, to consent to be sued by the
owner of land over which they have
flown (and thereby trespassed), so
as to bring the whole subject before
the courts for settlement. The suit
should be friendly one, he said, the
object being to modify. If possible,
the law of aerial trespass. Another
way might be to condemn the air by
legal procedure, and thus knock over
the historical fossil
A discussion that followed the adj
dress of the evening resulted in the
members arriving at the firm belief
that the air should be considered a
highway, and there was preliminary
talk concerning an attempt at legis-
lative enactment.
To avert suits for aerial trespass
Mr.. Fox suggests that the State con-
denim and buy a stratum of air as
highway for flying machines. The
fact that Count Lambert in his flight
across Paris violated police regula-
ton forbidding aeroplaning over the
city shows that the French have al
ready applied the law to cover one
phase of the question. BY leaving
the aerodrome for his Paris flight
Lambert incurred penalty of 81;

In "Rasselas" occurs the passage:
II have long been of opinion that, in
stead of the tardy conveyance OF
ships and chariots, man might use the
swifter migration of wings; that the
fields of the air are open to knowl-
edge. and that only ignorance and
idleness need crawl upon the
ground" This was written in 1859,
only a little later, as 'Italianc"
points out in "Notes and Queries, +"

full attempt at aviation was made
with machine invented by Father
Grimaldi, thus showing that Dr.
Johnson's mind was still fresh from
the impression of the attempts made
in his time to solve the problem Of
aviation"

Powerful Opposition Refused to Dis

Measures-Resignations Caused

MeaSureS-ReSISna CauSeu
Uproar in Chamber of Deputies.
Madrid, Spain. Spanish Cab
met, which was formed January 25,
1907, under the Premiership of Anto-
Mo Maura, resigned as result of the
bitter attacks made against the Gov
eminent by the former Premier Moret
Prendergast, representing a power
full opposition.
At a conference with King Alfonso
Premier Maura told the King that in
the face of Senior Moret's statement
that the opposition would refuse to
discuss even the most urgent meas
ures, he had no option but to resign.
He asked, however, the members of
the majority 10 support the new Min
istry.
Upon the receipt of the resignation
of the Premier and his Ministers, Mo-
ret Prendergast undertook to form
a new Ministry, himself assuming the
post of Premier and Minister of the
Interior.
The new Ministers, who took the
oath of office, are as follows:
Premier and Minister of the lnte-
rior-Moret y Prendergast.
Minister of Foreign Affairs-Perez
Caballero.
Minister of Finance-Senor Alva-

Minister of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Minister of Public 1nstruction-Se-
nor Barroso.
Minister of Justice Martinez del
Campo.
When the president of the Cham
Der of Deputies made the announce
ment of the Cabinets resignation 1t
was received with such an ear-split-
ting uproar that he was forced to adj
journ the sitting.
Prior to the formation of Senior
Maura's Cabinet in 1907 there had
been no less than five Liberal Minis
tries in eighteen months. The relig-
ious issue had been the rock on which
these Ministeries were wrecked, and
the accession to power of Senior Maui
ra, who had held the Premiership be-
fore, was regarded as sweeping VIC
tory for the Clericals. and one likely
to arouse a revolutionary spirit. This
proved to be the case, the opposition
finally uniting against the Govern
ment's conduct and furtherance of the
war in Morocco.
The stern measures taken to put
down the recent anti-war demonstra-
tions in Spain tended to inf1ame the
opposition, and the execution of Pro-
lessor Ferrer at Barcelona, followed
by popular demonstrations of disap-
prevail brought matters to crisis.
When Parliament reopened the Lib
erals, Republicans and Socialists Bit
terly assaiied the Government, but
the Cabinet showed disposition to
fight for its life and lost. The Cab
met designations followed.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-The burial cas-

fair and it isn't logical. There are
too many undertakers. They are cut
ting each others throats to get BUSH
ness, and, what is more to the point,
they are cutting prices. Another
thing, the supply of collins is greater
than the demand; that's what makes
EN- so cheap.
IF man wants decent burial he
ought to be made to pay a decent
price for it. 1t isn't as though 1t was
a steady drain on the family purse.
Collins are bought only occasionally,

ought to be willing to do the thing
