with bunting, handsome arches span
the streets, and there is scarcely
residence in the city that does not dis
play at least flag.
Henry Nj. Nevius, the COMMANDMENTS
chief, arrived here Saturday with his
STAFF and inspected the arrangements.
On Sunday the city's guests began ar.
irving by the thousand, and on Mon
day they came in so fast that the COM
mittee had TO work like sailors to get
them all housed in such manner as
to avoid congestion in any part of the
city.
Big Greetings" Meeting.
Monday evening came the first pub
lie event on the program-a great
campfire in the assembly hall in the
Temple grounds. All that night and
throughout Tuesday the stream of ar
rivals continued but by Tuesday
evening practically all the visitors had
been received and distributed. That
night the greatest function of the en-
campment took place. This was the
Greetings" meeting in the Mormon
Tabernacle. The immense building
easily seats 10000 persons, and it was
filled to its capacity.
Col. Frank NJ. Starrett, the execu'
tive director of the encampment,
called the vast assemblage to order
and introduced William II. King OF
Salt Lake City, who acted as tenn
porary chairman. He made a brief
address and was followed by Gov.

passed the one of to-day in spectacu
lar and pathetic features. The pa
rade formed at the beautiful Eagle
gate on South Temple street. First
in line were the regulars of the Fiji
teenth United States infantry and the
entire National Guard of Utah, acting
as escorts. Next came the forty
four departments of the Grand Army
of the Republic, the Naval Veterans,
the EX-Union Prisoners of War, and in
carriages the surviving members of
that devoted band of women, the Army
Nurses.
Scattered through the line were nu-
merous military bands and fife and
drum corps.
Greeted with Cheers and Tears.
AT the word of command the parade
marched west to Main street and
turned south down that thoroughfare,
proceeding seven blocks between solid
walls of cheering men, women and
children. AS the grizzled veterans
passed the enthusiasm was tremen-
dous and many spectator wept I'M
ashamed as he realized that this was
undoubtedly the last grand review for
scores of the feeble heroes who
trudged along with eyes on the flag
for which they had given some of the
best years of their lives.
When Seventh South street was
reached the paraders themselves
broke out in mighty cheering, for
there they turned in front OF the most
beautiful feature of the day. the "Liv-
ing Flag" On an immense stand
were 1900 children dressed in the
national colors and so arranged that
they made a perfect representation of
a waving American flag.
The little ones had been drilled for
many weeks, and while the old SOL
diers passed they sang patriotic airs.

SHOT TO KILL.

Columbus. Miss, Oct. f9.-Malcolm A. Franklin, member of the state senate from this county, and brother of Hon Thomas B. Franklin of this city, shot three times at Allen B. Har- rison, brother of Hon. James T. liar. rison and the late Mrs. stephen D. Lee, thi safternoon about ? o'c,ack. Both shots went wild.
 Both men were arrested, taken to the city hall and both placed under peace bonds of s2,000. The hearing will be conducted in the morning at 9 o'clock.
 The shooting appears to have been the outcome of long standing dis agreement caused by lawsuit or some monied transaction several years ago.
 This was added to and inspired by a letter Allen E. Harrison wrote fin which there are certain alleged scur- rilous statements about Mir. Franklin and caused the latter to accost the
  former as he passed the Franklin store this afternoon, when the shoot ing soon followed
 The prominence Of the families of both participants has caused many friends to intervene and endeavor to restore a calm over the troubled seas. There are many rumors nout concerning other facts in connection with the shooting but until the hear ing in the morning develops these matters in open court it would be in- justice to try and bring them out. It is regarded as a most unfortunate af- lair, fer both families as we'll as the whole town right at this time.

half for expenses in connection with the appeal. He called attention to the fact that as far back as 1901 there had been a stipulation between the government and Captain Carter, and his associates permitting the use of the fund so far as necessary for Car ter's defense.
 MT Bowers replied that the stipu- lation had not been lived up to and that 1t was not binding.
 Without leaving their seats on the bench the members of the court au- thorized the chief justice to direct the issuance of an order against the pro. ceedings contemplated for tomorrow, and permitting the government to file it's petition for a writ of prohibition enjoining Judge Kohlsaat from mak- ing further distribution of the Carter funds.

UPON BY THE ATTORNEY FOR CARTER.
Over Half the Fund Has Been Beaten Up by Attorneys Fees Great
 Apprehension.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 19.-Antici pating the proposed action tomorrow iT Chicago of attorneys for Captain Oberlin M. Carter, convicted of defal- cation in connection with government improvements in the harbor at Sa- vannah, Ga, to procure a further all lowance of counsel fees, to be paid out of the Carter fund, now in the hands of a receiver. the supreme court of the United States today is sued an order staying proceedings in the United States circuit court for the northern district of Illinois, so far as such an applications is concerned. lAe fund consists of money the gov ernment is attempting to obtain from Carter on the claim that 1t was pro cured through dedication.
 The application for the order was made by Solicitor General Bowers, who was accompanied by Special As gis.ant Marion Erwin, in charge of the Carter case from it's beginning.
 In bringing the matter to the atten- tion of the court. Mr Bowers stared that notice had been given that the attorneys for Captain Carter would tomorrow make application for a fur. ther allowance of counsel fees.
 He said that out of $135000 the cir. cult court had already granted fees amounting to $SS,000. These grants had been made for services in the CIT cult court alone The petition was for expenses in bringing an appeal to the supreme court.
 MT Bowelts made the point that the circuit court was without jurisdiction to make such an allowance, notwith- standing Judge Kohlsaat had already taken the position that the matter was within his control On account Of this statement of the judge, Mir. Bowers said there was great appre- hension that tomorrowis proceedings would result in further large grants, and he feared that if these continued there would not long be much to fight over.

TROUBLE IS HAD WITH MOTOR BECAUSE OF LACK OF
 GASOLINE.
Officers Make Flights by Themselves --Aeroplane Out Runs Fast
 Train.

College Park, Md, Oct. 19.--Motor troubles, the plague of the automobil- ist today proved also to be plague Of ayiatops While the government aeroplane was flying twenty feet above the earth with Lieutenant F. P. Lahm operating the levers, the moror suddenly stopped. The cool headed Wilbur Wright grasped the levers without delay and brought the ma chine safely to earth.
 The motors stoppase, which might -aye been followed by such an acci- dent as that at Fort Myer a year ago when Lieutenant Selfridge was killed, proved to be the source of much amusement when discovered. After the machine had been brought to earth, The most strenuous efforts of the army officers, mechanicians. me ael onautical squad of the signal corps and Mir Wright himself could not get single "chug" from the motor.
 After several hours of investigation it was found that careless private, whose duty it was to keep the gaso- line tank filled, had failed to replenish the supply after yesterdays flight. When the gasoline was forthcoming, the motor proved itself worthy of more trust than had been placed in 1t. Altcge her fve instruction flights were made today, two in the early morning and the other three after I o'clock. Lieutenants Lahm and Hum phreys each accompanied Mr Wright on one of the morning flights. while Lieutenant Humphreys made two of the later flights and Lieutenant Lahn the other
 During one of the afternoon flights, when Lieutenant Humphrey was with he instructor the aeroplane raced with railroad train. It seemed to be moving faster than the train. In the last flight of the day, on which MT Wright was accompanied by Lieutenant I1ahn,, the machine ge. mained aloft 19 minutes and Sec onds, being the longest flight time that has been made at College Park. Lieutenant Beniaman D. Foulois will begin taking instructions from Mr. Wright within short time and the aviation lessons at College Park will be concluded by the end of the month considering the program that has been made
 Lieutenant Foulois today gave MT. Wright the governments check for $20,OO0 as a part payment for the machine which was purchased from 5he Wright brothers for the signal corps. Another $1O,O00, making the total contract price of $sO,O0O, will be naid when the two army officers who have been receiving instructions, are . pronounced accomplished aviators.

It will be noticed that Wagner has made two more hits than Cobb and leads in to.al bases made on hits. Cobb has beaten Wagner as a run getter by one run The most sur prising feature, however, is in stolen bases The Flying Dutchman ms stolen three more sacks than the Georgian The error cut iitt,e Rg. ure, as a sho tstop is supposed 10 have made mere of Hhem than an outfielder
 l. may not occur to the average fan that the fact that Cobb has scored five runs issi responsible fer the fact that he has not stolen more bases In other words, he did not have to steal because on three occasions To reached second on his hits. In sev. eral instances Cobb was hit in by two-baggers before nc had a chance to steal. Five of the hits behind Cobb we're two baggers and one a home run. Crawford and Delehanty drove him in on long hits. That made stealing unnecessary. It also accounts for the large number of runs scored by Cobb
 On the other hand Wagner got 70 first six times on singles. Only one two-base hit was made behind him. The fact that he reached first on sin. gses made it necessary for him to steal, and the fact that Miller made only one long hit behind him explains why he did not score more than two runs. Wagner also reached first sev e7al times on bases on balls.
 If Cobb scored five runs on seven hits anu Wagner only scored four on nine hits the natural conclusion would be that the Georgian had proved him. self the better base runner But that does not always follow The fact re. mains that Wagner stole the most bases and on that the percentages are based.
 Base running does not altogether rest on the number of bags stolen even if that is what counts In the records. The man who can score from first base on double is of much more value to a club at times than the man who can always steal second. Scoring on hits and advancing on hits is the real art Of base running For instance, the detailed accounts Of ihe games show that Cobb took third from first on nearly every single that WAS hit behind him. He would even take the chance on a hit to left field
