BUCKET SHOP CASES
ARE PROSSED
District Attorney Drops All
Except Indictments Against
10. Wilson.

President Tafts action in pardoning
Percy Wade. of the firm of Wade &
Hedges, who was charged with running
a bucket shop. has led the District At
torney to drop proposed prosecutions
against Hedges and other firms The
cases which were nolle pressed this
morning include charges brought
against the firm Of Chesley & Spence
Frank Kane, ard. Allison c. Jenkins.
This disposes ct all the bucket shop
cases on the District Attorneys docket
save one. that being an indictment re-
turned against John o. Wilson, who
formerly had offices at Seventh and F
streets northwest. Following the indict-
ment returned against Wilson, he was
brought back 10 this city Cor trial. The
charges against Wilson were brought
after the law in bucket shop cases IN
the District was settled by the case
brought against Wade & Hedges. The
paper declares the Wilson case is not
surrounded by the same conditions as
those OF the Wade & Hedges and other
cases. The Wilson indictment has not
been quashed.

II was early this morning.

II was early this morning.
The Government clerk was about to
leave for his daily toll, He gave his
wife a tender, lingering kiss, as though
he was about to go on a long journey.
He left home half an, hour early, so
he could walk to the office and avoid
riding in the street cars. He looked
UP and down every street before cross
Ing. He stepped out his own door,
right foot first. His right foot was first
to be placed outside his gate. He al
ways stepped down into the street and
UP onto the sidewalk with his right
foot first. He picked up every pin ne
saw. He had the left hind foot OF
graveyard rabbit IN his left-hand vest
pocket, a four-leaf clover N his right
hand vest pocket, and as he walked
out of his house he spat three times
over his left shoulder. Also he kept
his fingers crossed all day. Because
today is FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH.
The man who observes things declares
it TO be a pretty safe bet that no en-
terprise has been started today. and
that none will be. Even the street cars

FIRE IN MILTON,D DEL
LEAVES Z BUILDINGS
Practically Entire Town of
1000 Wiped Out by
Flames.

DOVER, Del. Aug. I3-nnton. a
town of 1000 Inhabitants, on the Mary
land, Delaware, and Virginia Railroad,
IN the upper part OF Sussex county,
was destroyed by fire about o'clock
this morning.
The cause OF the fire IS unknown. It
spread rapidly. and was practically be-
yOnd control quarter or an hour after
the alarm was sounded. Only twelve
residences Of the 800 buildings OF the
town remain.
The entire business section of the
town. including the banks. principal
business houses. stores, and public
buildings were all blazing hereely by
the time the citizens were aroused
from their slumhsrs by the general
alarm. Flremen found that the en-
gines and apparatus had been cut of
by the rapid and fie.ce march Of the
flames. and though there was plenty
OF water and help. there was nothing
with which to fight the flames.
When the last ember II t.se mass OF
ruins had been quenchsd by q down
pour of rain late this evening. the loss
was estimated at reaching nearly a
quarter OF a million dollars. It Is said
there Is only about $4,000 Insurance.
While fighting against the fire, Post
master John Black. Josiah H. Gray,
and Wilfred White were injured by fall
ing timbers.

Dying King Menelik's Wife Is De-
hant Toward New
Regent.

ROME. Aug. 13.-Ras Tesama. the
new regent Of Abyssinia, has demanded
the custody Of King Menelik from EN-
press Taitu, according to messages re
ceived today from Adds Abeba. The
demand bears out the recent reports
that Menelik is a victim Of a plot by
which his slow death is being encom-
passed.
Ras Tesama declares that he fears the
assassination Of AIenelik by poison. The
new regent has also begun an active
campaign in support Of the claims Of
Prince Lidt Jassu to the throne The
prince Is the heir presumptive. He is
only twelve years old, and is opposed
by the Empress. The latter has as
sumed a defiant attitude toward the
regent, and threatens to stir up civil

NAVY MAY ADVERTISE
FOR AEROPLANE BIDS

Following up the lead in aviation
which the United States Signal Corps
has gained upon other nations through
it's possession Of the Wright aeropIane.

the world today. the Navy Department
Of the United States wants 10 have

equipped with Observation-Disclosures flyers.
and unless Secretary Meyer opposes the
department will advertise, In the near
future, for bids for two aeroy.anes.
Specifications have been drawn I'D for
the sort OF bi-plane. generally speaking.
the department wants, and while, of
course, the purchase of two machines
will be but a small step, It Is probably the
first IN a series which may lead 10 that
emineuce where eve"y battleshlG shall

with an air-cruising radius OF forty or
nifty miles.
A machine like than which the Signal
Corps has acquired. which can 90 better
than forty miles an hour. would be in
valuable as a scout to a big sea fighter
II is probable that the department will
require a machine that can stay up for
at least four hours without rel, l,ienishing
its fuel or alighting. This would give a
cruising radius of more than $50 miles
which would mean that no enemy could
approach unknown.
If il were possible later to place on
the bi-planes immense scare flights eI en-
at night such scouts WOulG be able to
detect the coming Of an enemy's fleet.
The launching Of a bi-plane from a war
ship's deck would not be particularly
difhcult but the landing would present
some pretty problems even for eytYsri-
enced operators like Orville or Wilbur
Wright Housing the maching would be
a minor detail.
Secretary Meyer, It is believed. will
not oppose the plan for providing the
department with bi-planes, since he was
an enthusiastic follower Of the Wright
maneuvers at Fort Meyer.

ney for Mrs. James /. Sutton, in her
effort to prove that Lieut.. James I.
Sutton did not take his own life, elo-
quently, unsparingly, and almost
vindictively, pleaded before the
naval inquiry board today.
The plea ran the gamut from
Scathing denunciation, during which
he pointed an accusing finger at the
men who were with Sutton when he
died, TO the tenderest touches of
