HfNEY RIDICUl[S
FICKERT'S CHARGES
Says Poor Car Service Fur
nished by Calhoun Hurts
Business

The United Railroads and Patrick
Calhoun were fayed at three crowded
meetings last night by Francis J..
Auditorium: Nelson hall. Third and Sill
yer streets, and at Latin hal, Stockton
and Green streets. Heney's remarks
concerning Charles Nj. Fickert were
brief Speaking of the latter at the
auditorium he said:
"Fickert claims that Burns has %
gumshoe men following his around
Then one of them has deserted him, for
at a meeting held by him last night
24 men, all told, were present. The ab-
surdity of his claim is equaled only by
his intimation that there is price put
upon his head. Such talk is nonsense.
What is his headw orth? A postage
stamp? However. / only joke when 1
speak in this strain. Fickert, 1 sup
pose, is a good enough fellow in his
way, but the trouble is that he is in
bad company and has learned some bad
tricks. That is enough for Fickert."
Heney then devoted himself to the
United Railroads. He declared that Cal
houn'S~ talk of helping the stricken
city was bosh and buncombe.-and that
the financial maneuvering of the con-
cern at thine netted it vast sum of
money.
Calhoun and his crowd say we are
hurting business" he continued. but
the real fact is that nothing hurst the
business of tn Getty more than poor
transportation facilities. poor streetcar
service. such as we have here. Any of
you who have travelled to other cities
will know and recognize the difference.
What is the result of this miserable
streetcar service which Calhoun has
graciously given us? A large number
of persons who would live in San Fran
cisco hav ebeen forced out TO Oakland,
Berkeley and other outlying places. The
money they would spend here is spent
elsewhere-and that hurts business. If
Calhoun is sincere in his statements he
would give the city a decent streetcar
service"
The other speakers at the meeting
were District Attorney William H
Langdon. William j. Burns aud Edward
Barry. The meetings addressed at Nell
so n and Latin halls were under the
auspices of the democratic part y.and
at both Heney was enthusiastically re-
ceived.

other fish. Around the pool were short
poles with lines and hooks attached. A
charge of 10 cents was made for the
privilege of catching one of the fish
and the cruelty consisted of the fact
that in many instances the hook was
left in the fish when it was thrown

Uncover Plot That Led to
the Murder

TOKYO. Oct 27.-The body of Prince
Ito. the murdered elder statesman of
Japan. will be taken aboard the Japa-
nese warship Iwate at Darien and will
be brought to Japan accompanied by
full suite representing the entire ma
tion. The body lay today in a hotel
at Darien. the coffin covered by a SIM
pie white pail.
Throughout the day kilograms poured
into Tokyo from every country in the
world. and the officials of the foreign
office are busily engaged in answering
them.
Those closest to the throne say that
the emperor is deeply affected by the
assassination Of the prince. He has
asked for every detail and apparently
is unable to understand why the muir
der was committed. in view OK the evil
dent popularity of Prince Ito. But
when informed of all the facts. so far
as they have been learned here. the
emperor ordered that there must be
no change in policy toward Korea
The emperor of Korea has cabled his
sympathy to the emperor of Japan. as
well as to Princess Ito at OisO.
The assassin probably will be tried
at Darien. Nine alleged accomplices
have been arrested. and it Is believed
that the investigation will show that
the plot was Matched at Seoul.
The Japanese authorities are deter
mined to unearth the source, because
the assassination of Prince Ito is be-
lieved to have been planned by the
same persons who planned the murder
of Durham White Stevens. the former
diplomatic adviser to the Korean gov
ernment, at San Francisco in 1908. The
newspapers here comment on the es-
cape of one of the associates Of the
convicted murderer of Stevens.

will not affect the avOwed policies at

Especial Dispatch to The Call

IOpcCtut L%tcPutSh " ffS NHetI
COLLEGE POINT, Md, Oct. 27.-Mrs.
r. H. Van Deman, wife of Captain Van
Deman of the Twenty-first infantry, is
the first woman to fly through the air
of the western hemisphere. She won
that honor today when she remained
aloft in Wright aeroplane for four
minutes as passenger in the machine
which Wilbur Wright sold to the gov
ernment.
The only other American woman who
has made a flight is Miss Katherine
Wright, sister of the inventors. She
rode with Wilbur at Paux, France.
.SIMPLY GRAND,
1T was simply grand" said Mrs. Van
Deman on alighting. Now 1 know
why the birds sing; 1 know OF no sem
sation to compare with it
Mrs. Van Deman went to the aero
plane shed with her husband about 1880
o'clock this morning, and Lieutenant
Lain explained to her the various parts
of the machine. But the crowd had no
idea that woman passenger was to be
taken up Until the lTlH1 little nSuEe III
a long, gray cloak, black skirt and
black hat climbed into the passenger s
seat beside that of the operator. Lieu
tenant Lain and Wright tied q sring
around the bottom of Mrs. Van Deman' s
skirt, and at 1850 Wright pulled the
trigger which sent the machine down
from the monorail.
A little scream was stilled when the
biplane struck the earth at the end OF
ho foil 70 int "a
air.
Mrs. Van Deman made a move to get
out of her seat just as Wright had
alighted. but the aeroplanist told her
to remain seated. SO she stayed in the
car while it was being wheeled back to
the starting derrick At Sis another
start was made, this time a successful
one
For four minutes the aeroplane sailed
at a height of about SO feet The crowd
at the aerodrome cheered as Mrs. Van
Deman passed the starting derrick the
first time around the field, and again
when the aeropiane returned on the
second lap When this circle was com
pleted Wright allowed the machine to
glide gently to. earth.
PEACE POSSIBLE
The flight had been arranged for
with all the secrecy of which Wright

her husband came out to College park
before the capital was fairly awake.
Captain Van Deman said to Wright
after the flight:
Il want to thank you, Wright Now
it will be possible to have peace in our
home"
.0h. that's all right" said Wright
with his quizzical grin.
Weren't you afraid to let your wife
make the flight?" Captain Van Deman
was asked.
Why should | be afraid? 7 don't
think there is any more danger in TAX
ing an aeroplane ride than in motoring e
or horseback riding, and my wife does
both of those things. She has been
awaiting this trip for some time" he
said. Captain and Mrs. Van Deman
have lived in Washington since 1905.
