BlERlOT FLIES FROM FRANCE TO
ENGLAND, LANDING
At DOVER.
FOLLOWED BY TORPEDO BOAT
An Hour.-Gets Ahead Of Latham,
Who intended to Try Again
on Monday.

Dover, Eng.-This sleepy seaport
town experienced the keenest thrill
known in a generation when at sun
rise white winged bird-like machine
with loudly humming motor, swept out
from the haze obscuring the sea
toward the distant French coast and,
circling above the high chalky cliffs
of Dover, alighted on English SOIL
A calm Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, a
portly and red mustached man of 81,
descended from the saddle. limping on
bandaged foot, which had been
burned on his previous overland
flights.
Immediately two compatriots, who
had been waving big tri-colored flag
as signal for the landing place, fell
upon him enthusiastically embracing
him, shouting and pounding him on
the back.
They, with a few soldiers and 9TH
ers who happened by chance to be on
the scene, were the only persons to
witness the finish of a most remark
able feat.
Bleriot left Les Baraques, 8 miles
from Calais, about 4:30 a. m, on one
of the smallest mQpoplanes ever used.
He crossed the channel in a little less
than half an hour. twice as swiftly as
the fastest mail boat
His speed averaged more than as
miles an hour, sometimes 1t approx
mated go miles.
He kept about $50 feet above the
sea level and for 10 minutes while
about mid-channel was out of sight of
both coasts and the French torpedo
destroyer which followed him with his
wife and friends aboard.
The wind was blowing about 20
miles an hour and the sea was choppy
The aviator was swathed in single
garment of drilling, impervious to the
wind, which covered him from the top
of his head to his feet, only his face
showing He wore also q cork life
belt.

DR.. Kroeze Leaves

TROUBLE EXTENDING OVER
PERIOD OF TWO YEARS
CULMINATES In RESIGNA-
TION OF PRESIDENT-SEAT-
TIE TRUSTEES BLAMED.

President B. H. Kroeze of whit
worth college has rendered his
resignation and he will quit the
service of the institution.
There has been trouble in the
college for couple of years and
1t finally eliminated in the abso-
lutte resignation OF the president
yesterday. with the announcement
by the board of trustees of Its
plan of management for the instl-
tuition, by which a committee OF
three, headed by DR.. d. ID. Mckay,
is given full charge of the ddscip-
line of the institution.
Gambling and Gard Playing.
DR.. Mckay. according to Presi-
dent Kroeze, has had no expert
enoe az a college professor or
manager until he came to Whit
worth. President Kroeze says he
has encouraged mutiny among the
students and has given sympa-
thetio support to malcontents and
trouble breeders. He says fur

the institution was In McKay's
hands last year, In the absence oil
the president, the most fiagrantly
immoral conditions were allowed
to flourish at the institution.
"When l returned I found
gambling and card playing and
other questionable things going on
and being winked at in the
school," said President Kroeze.
President Kroeze says the whole
trouble seems to originate in the
Seattle members of the board Of
trustees, headed by DIR. Matthews

''Seattle's trustees never have
worked for the advancement o.
the institution as they should.
do not know what Is the matter
hut they. appear to have always
been working against it," said DR.
Kroeze today.
The president says the SEATTLE
members have placed two blood
relatives of themselves on the
faculty, much against good polio,
in college work and from this ha!
sprung dissention and trouble
also.
He absolutely refuses to longel
stay with the college If Mcka!
remains and it appears to be vi
to the Seattle directors to eithsi
resign and get out of the board
and take Mckay with them, OF

In response to telephone
message, Detectives Dyment and
Barrett went to A. T. Wingfield' 8
drug store, at North Twenty-sixth

Wingfield having complained
that boys were annoying him.

went into the store and made
some purchases. after which they
quietly left the place. They went
across the street, where they ate
some apples, and one of the boys
threw a piece of apple at a sign.
This angered the druggist, they
say, and he came after them with
a knife. He cut Earl Graham in
the back, the knife penetrating

ing. DR.. Stewart dressed the
wounds. The boys called at the

MILWAUKEE I.
BUILD INTO
SPOKANE

The directors of the Milwaukee
system have authorized the con-
struction of a branch line from
Maiden to Spokane. A resolution
to that effect was filed with the
secretary of state at Olympia yes
terday.
The branch line will be a little
over SO miles in length. and will
pass through a rich wheat-grow-
ing country, making it valuable
tonnage producer for the Milwau-
kee. Surveys for the line have
been completed and terminals
have been quietly acquired in Spo-
kane during the past six months.
1t is understood that the con-
tract for building the line will be
let at an early date, and that
trains will be running over the
branch in time to connect with
through trains next summer and
handle the wheat crop next year.
