DEATH IN AEROPLANE
ANTONIO FERNANDEZ, AN INvEN-
 TOR, KILLED IN FRANCE.
Aviator Patched Up Defective Part Wlth Common Tvvine and
 Falls To the Earth,

Nice, France. Dec. 6--Antonio Fer nandez. an aviator. met death today while flying for the first time in an aeroplane of his own invention.
 The accident appears to have been due mainly to the inexperience and recklessness of the aviator. who. im- patient at the delay and not needing the approximations of his mechanician. patched up a defective part of the machine by binding 1t with common twine. The aerop!ane sailed off grace fully. and the inventors hopes seemed to be fulfilled. when. after going 200 metres and gradually rising, the avia- tor attempted to make turn too sharply, and the machine tipped over in the twinkling of an eye.
 Fernandez was hurled headlong to the ground. with the wreck of his aeroplane on top of him.
 The aviator was found dead be- meath the motor. his head having been driven into the soft earth by the im- pact.
 The victim was a strikingly hand some man. well known in Nice. where he was a fashionable ladies tailor. He took up aviation recently, devoting all of his time to it. He was convinced that his machine, which resembled both the Wright and the Curtiss ma chimes. was absolutely superior to any other.
 M. Fernandez participated in the aviation contests at Rheims last Au- gust, but his performances there att tracted no special attention. At that time he was operating a bi-plane.
 Fernandez is the third man to be killed in a motor power aeroplane, The first fatality was the death of Lieutenant Selfridge while flying as a passenger with orville Wright at Fort Myer. In September, 1908.
 E. Lefebyre. the French aviator. was killed September z. last, when his aeroplane turned turtle two minutes after his flight had been begun. Le- fevbre was using Wright machine.

Dtxie E1antena sonthwara.

Philadelphia, Dec. e.-The trans- port Dixie. with the TOO marines and all the equipment transferred from the stranded transport Prairie. passed out to seq early today on her way to Central America.
 Admiral Kimball and the marines who are bound for Colon and may possibly be sent to Nicaragua, are three days behind the schedule set by the Navy Department.
 The failure of the Prairie to float off the mud flats of Pea Patch Is- land, in the Delaware river Saturday night. prompted the Navy Department to order the Dixie to go instead of the Prairie. The Dixie arrived along side the grounded transport yesterday afternoon and with the assistance of the marines, the crews of the two transports and half dozen tugs, the transfer of the Prairie's cargo of equipment was quickly effected. The work moved so rapidly that the Dixie was ready to sail shortly after sum down and proceeded down the river at S:10 D. m. The Dixie had the tidol with her and passed out to sea at l:3O a. m.
 Another unsuccessful seffort was made to float the Prairie at flood tide early today. Il is probable she will have to be dredged out by a suction dredge.

ZELAYA MAKES PLANS
 TO TAKE HIS FLIGHT
CREEL TO WASHINGTON
MEXICAN STATESMAN WILL DIs-
 CUSs NICARAGUA.
Former Ambassader to United States VIII Present Clearly the Attitude of Southwestern Republic
 on Embroglio.

Mexico City, Dec. 6.-Enrique c. Greet. formerly Mexican Ambassador to the United States. and now Gov ernor of Chihuahua. win leave Mexico City tomorrow night for Washington. where he goes on a special mission for the Mexican Government in regard to Central American affairs.
 This fact was admitted by officials at the foreign office here tonight. There Is no doubt that Mir. Greet goes on an errand directly connected with the Nicaraguan situation.
 It Is known in Mexico City that the Mexican Government has received a reply to the. letter sent by Foreign Minister to the United States Govern ment in which he outlined a plan for the peaceful settlement of the Nicara- guan problem. but the foreign office refuses to divulge it's contents. as it did In reference to the Mariscal note.
 Government officials here continue to maintain extreme reserve when dis cussing the Nicaraguan situation. They steadfastly refuse to talk about any phase of the affair in detail, and speak with great care when arguing ques- tions of even the most general nature about Nicaragua
 It is believed here that Governor Creei Is going to the capital of the United States to state clearly and. conciseiy the attitude of the Mexican
 Government in this matter. Since he arrived from Chihuahua last week he mas had a number of conferences with President Diaz and has spent consid- erable time at the foreign office with Minister Mariscal. At his apartments in hotel he has received a number of high Government officials. including Vice. President Ramon Corral. Neither Governor Greet, nor any official of the Government would discuss the object of his visit except In the most general terms. and 1t wasnot until tonight that the fact of his going was officially ad- mitted. r
 Regarding the possibility of interven- ton by Mexico. Francisco viegel, rev. olutionary agent of Nicaragua in Mex leo City. said today:
 'The only amicable intervention which would be acceptable would be that of two Latin-American powers which could guarantee In Nicaragua the election of President by a popu- lar vote. A Government composed Of Zelayaites and revoiutionists would mean simply a new war in the future. :"

ANOTHER POLAR EXPEDITION.

A Yale professor, for the fun OF the
thing evidently, claims to bave also
discovered the North Pole. This is
the way he tells his experiences.
''At latitude 81, l made my final
dash, consisting of few parenthetical
remarks on the weather. / hitched
the span, the saw-horse and the pooy
to new buck board wagon, cutting of
the tongue, so that ! might be the
first TO announce my discovery. Ter
miles had swiftly flown by, when the
pony, thinking that TIE saw-horse was
sea-horse, tried to eat him; the pony
naturally resented this and the team
already frightened by the narrowness
of the meridian lines, and by the
spectacle OF a large western penguin
became unmanages BILE.
''The two faithful Eskimos were
thrown out and were Immediately de
voured by polar bears, who, seeing
their long boards, took them for arc
tic hair, esteemed a great delicacy b,
these animals. I was pitched high |,
the air, and landed on the small Of m,
back, thus discovering not only tn,
pole but the whiffietree. At this mo-
ment my right ascension was about 10
seconds, my declination, so far as an.
future attempts are concerned, was fina
and absolute.

ATTORNEY GENERAL STEAD OF I'LL

feet that the land on which soldiers

walton and therefore not under state or
county control. This places home

as If they were located in the Distric,
of Columbia or in territory. In order
to vote or exercise any other function ol
citizenship it is necessary for residents
to claim residence elsewhere. This
is likely to make considerable fer
