N JUST AS EASY
orviIle Wright, In the Presence of
Father and Brother Thrice
Navieated the Air.

Washington, July For the first
time this year at Fort Myer the
Wright aeroplane successfully navi-
gated the air this evening in three
separate flights of five, eight and nine
and one-half minutes. Totally differ
ent was its performance tonight than
the balky and inefficient efforts to
fly made earlier in the week. The
aeroplane scared readily into the air,
flew at an average altitude of fifty
feet and seemed in every way to JUS
tify its name of flying machine.
The aeroplane was put upon the
rail at o'clock in the presence of a
crowd of perhaps about twelve hun
dred people, the smallest which has
lined the field as yet since the expert
ments started. With but little pre-
liminary adjustment, the trigger was
pulled by Orville Wright at 6:13:20.
To the rapid clicking of a score of
cameras, among them one operated
by Charlie Taft, the big white me
chanical bird sped down the rail,
heightened again tonight by another
twelve-foot addition, and flew off in,
Ito the air. For moment the crowd
kheld its breath, expecting a repetition
of the abcrtive attempts of the last
two evenings.
But tonight the engine had enough
power and the aeroplane rose steadily
and sped swiftly and straight down
the field. In front of the aeroplane
house orville Wright made a wide
turn to the left and came speeding
up the field again. He swung around
just inside the weight tower, sitting
straight and still and manipulating
the levers as if he had done nothing
else for the past year. His father
Bishop Wright, was watching him, as
well as Reucline Wright, his brother
who beheld for the first time in his
life the marvel his brothers had
wrought.

HYAcINTH WAR is ON.
Fleet of Hyacinth Destroyers cruis
ing the San Antonio River.

San Antonio, Texas, July 2.-Hya-
cinths by the cart load have been
jogging through the city streets for
several days on their way to the ash
dump. To the flower lover who has
only known these beautiful plants in
florists shops, the blossoms rising
like a purple mist in the long ex-
panse of green pads, the hyacinth
war now being waged on the upper
reaches of the San Antonio river
seems wanton destruction. City
ditchmen with picks and shovels
clashing through beds of these rare
ly beautiful flowers started a pro-
test from the lovers of the beautiful.
The city engineer, however, explain
ed that the matted and quick growing
hyacinth threatened to choke the en-
tire channel of the San Antonio river.
A stray pad will break off, float
down the stream, and wherever it
lodges a week later will spring up
another hyacinth bed. These beds
seriously obstruct the flowing of the
stream, absorb much water and form
a breeding place for mosquitoes, so a
fleet of hyacinth destroyers are cruis-
ing the San Antonio river. Poets
and lovers are protesting at the van
dalism which the average citizen ac-
cepts as part of. the war on the mos
quito.

ENGINEER FOUND DEAD
Jim Blackwell, Stationary Engineer
Near EIkhart, Died Suddenly
While on Duty.

From Thursdays Daily.
News has reached the city of the
Sudden death near Elkhart of Mr.
Jim Blackwell, who was employed as
engineer and fireman at small mill
one and a half miles west of Elk
hart. Blackwell went to work at the
usual time yesterday morning, and
seemed to be in his usual health.
Later in the morning fellow employees
around the mill noticed that the
steam was running low and the pow
er playing out and went to ascertain
the cause, and found the dead body of
Blackwell in the engine room. 1t is
not known just when he expired. An
examination led to the conclusion
that he had died of heart failure, and
not from heat, as was at first
thought.

ed by inviting her into the room. She
ran and gave the alarm, when the

Our State University.

With the beginning of the session
1909-10, The University of Texas en-
ters upon the twenty-sixth year of its
existence. While a review of the
history and achievements of the Uni
versity will not be attempted, it is,
proper to say that the hopes and aims
of the founders of the republic, who
incorporated provisions for the Uni
versity in the fundamental law of the
land, are beginning to be realized.
Past accomplishments are but predfc-
tons of future successes. The ideas
and ideals now embodied in our great
institution must and will be enlarged
and perpetuated. Standing as it does
at the head of the states educational
system, the University has led the
way in our educational advancement.
She is allied to our public schools
with the strongest ties, and has
steadily and wisely helped them, as
most potent factors making for the
welfare of Texas. Her thousands of
sons and daughters scattered over
our great state are deeply interested
in every movement that seeks to pro-
mose its welfare, and especially in
plans for the enlargement and better
ment of its educational system.
Twenty-six years ago the Univer-
sity was launched with only two de-
partments, academic and law, in in
adequate quarters. Today the Uni

JUDGE FREEMAN DENIES
Pending Purchase of the Beaumont
and Great Northern-Frisco
May Get 1t.

'The receiver of the International
and Great Northern has no intention
of purchasing the Beaumont and
Great Northern road" said Judge T.
j. Freeman today, and if anybody
else in connection with the road in
tends to make the purchase, he has
not heard of it."
Judge Freeman, who was busy in
conference with H. w. Clarke, assist
ant general manager of the road; ].
F. Enright, superintendent of machin-
cry, and o. H. Crittenden, chief en-
gineer, on matters of transportation,
right of way and service, did not take
time to discuss the report that the
International and Great Northern
would buy the Carlisle lumber road.
The report had arisen through the
fact that A E. Buck, up to the June
commercial agent of the Browns
vile road, who on that date became
travelling freight agent of the Inter
national and Great Northern road out
of Houston, after one months service
left Houston last night to become
general freight agent of the Beau
mont and Great Northern.
L. R. Dallam, chief clerk of the va
rious roads at Texas City, will sue
coed Mr.. Buck as travelling freight
agent of the International and Great
Northern, under Horace Booth. This
position was formerly held by Mr..
Dallam.
The position taken by Mr.. Buck
was vacated when G. R. Wansborough
resigned from the position of general
freight and passenger agent of the
Beaumont and Great Northern to be-
come the general manager of the
Houston, Fostoria and Northern road
1t is far more likely that the Beau
mont and Great Northern road will
be gobbled up by the Frisco. Mr.. R.
G. Duff of Beaumont is closely con-
nected with both roads, and is the
man that engineered the sale of the
Onalaska lumber plant to J. NJ. West
of Houston. If the Frisco takes the
road it will be built on into the Beau
mont connection, and then built north
west from Trinity to Newly or Jew
EFT, to connect with the Trinity and
Brazos Valley road at that point, thus
making a double connection with the
Frisco system.
One thing, however, argues against
that. The Texas Southern railroad,
Frisco road, is building south out OF
Marshall, down the Sabine river, to
an as yet unnamed terminus s-the
direction of Hemphill, and the roads
would be to modified extent parallel
and competing lines.
Whatever may be the ultimate des,
tiny of the Beaumont and Great
Northern, the International and Great
Northern road is eliminated from the
list of possible owners by Judge Free
mans point blank statement that nc
such project was contemplated

Killing and REULBACK
TO new YORK GIANTS?
Gotham Scribes Have 1t Fixed Up for
McGraw to Get Champion
ship Team.

Here is story telegraphed from
New York to a Chicago paper recent
ly. We don't vouch for it but print it
and leave the reader to Judge it for
what it is worth:
Further developments in the
three big trades which Manager Nc
Graw is engineering to strengthen the
Giants for the National league cam
paign came to light when it was
learned that Edward F. Reulbach.
pitching marvel of the Chicago Cubs,
is included in the Wiltse-Kling deal
and will pitch for the polo grOunders
next season.
Baseball sharps were inclined to
the belief that McGraw will weaken
his pitching department if he lets
Wiltse go, but it develops that the
commander of the Giants has asked
C. Webb Murphy, owner of the Cubs.
to allow Reulbach to figure in the
trade.
in return for the services of Killing
and Reulbach, McGraw will give
Wiltse and big bundle of money;
how much could not be learned, but
it is understood to be sum represent
ed by five figures.
"McGraw will thus strengthen his
pitching department, for Reulbach is
accounted a better man than Wiltse,
and can stand a great deal more
work.
"Reulbach is dissatisfied with his
berth in Chicago, and will gladly come
to New York. Last season he had
disputes with both Murphy and
Chance, the Cubs losing ground in the
race because he was late getting into
his stride.
"It also leaked out during the East
ern league meeting that a gigantic
deal was under way whereby the New
York Giants will acquire the services
of Johnny Killing, Sherwood Magee and
Konetchy for next season.
"The story goes that Mike Donlin is
to be traded for Sherwood Magee.
This deal is to all intents and pur-
poses already closed. Herzog and
Merkle are to be traded to st. Louis

IT'LL LIFT THAT CUP
YETI" SAYS SIR THOMAS
Irish Baronet Declares He'll Win
Trophy If New York Yacht Club
Changes Rules.

Sir Thomas Upton, noted Irish
yachtsman, who has tried to capture
the Americas cup from the New York
Yacht club in three races, says he will
win the cup yet.
Sir Thomas, while optimistic of sue
cess in finally winning the blue rib
bon prize of the sea- as he calls the
Americas cup, feels that the rules
governing the race must be changed
before he even stands a sporting
chance"
He declared that under the Pc
culiar conditions now governing such
contests it was impossible for him or
any other outsider to win the Amer
ica's cup.
Asked concerning the report that
the Royal Ulster club, of which King
Edward is a member, had withdrawn
its support from him because of the
incident and would notify the New
York club that he no longer had the
clubs patronage. Sir Thomas said he
had heard nothing of it.
Il have raced rs times within the
iioI t"o years Ou the coast OF Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland, and won
So races" he said, "but l would give
them all to win that Americas cup.
even if I could keep it only five min.
utes. This cup is no historical relic:
ii is an international trophy and there
is no reason why 1 should not have
at least sporting chance to win it."
The Irish baronet hopes to con-
vince the New York Yacht club that a
race for the Americas cup can never
again be held under the old condi-
tons, and that if the club maintains
the attitude it took two years ago it
is equivalent to locking up the classic
mug" in the clubs trophy room. It
was learned, however, that unless
the present feeling among the more
influential club members undergoes a
change, Sir Thomas visit is likely to
fail.
