M|SHAP STOPS
AERIAL FLIGHT
WRIGHT BROTHERS MAKE TWO
MORE SUCCESSFUL
EXHIBITIONS.

Washington, July 3.-Resembling a
giant bird swooping down upon its
prey, the Wright aeroplane, after the
motor which propels it had come sud
denly to a standstill, glided gracefully
to earth yesterday after having made
two successful fights.
The machine was on it's way around
Fort Myer drill grounds for the ninth
time in its second flight, when the
motor stopped, so feet above the
earth. In gliding to the earth the
machine struck a tree and was
swerved around with such force that
the skids were broken and the right
wing badly ripped. Wright was not
hurt
The flights yesterday were the most
successful the Wrights have made at
Fort Myer, since their return to COM
plete the government trials On the
first attempt, he flew about the field
II times in II minutes and so sec
onds, and on the second had gone
around eight and one half times when
the fight was terminated by mis-
hap. He had been in the air for a
little more than eight minutes. Dur
ing both fights, Wright went higher
and faster than in the trials of the
two previous days. 1t was estimated
that his speed averaged 81 miles per
hour, although the machine probably
exceeded 40 miles when flying with a
light breeze blowing from the south.

CHARGED WITH EMBEZZlEMENT
$4,000 CAPITAL, 100000
QUICK ASSETS.

Ironwood, Mich, July 3.-President
H. F. jain, Cashier E. T. Larson and
Assistant Cashier George H. Meadow
of the First National bank of this
city, have all been bound over to the
federal grand jury which meets at
Marquette, September Z.
The charges against them are the
outgrowth of the failure of the bank
which was closed last week by the
federal authorities. Larson is In jail
at Bessemer in default of $4,000 bail,
while jain furnished $4,000 and
Meadow $4,000 bail bonds.
The bank had about 100000 in de-
posts and the receiver has now in
his hands about 100000 in quick as
sets. 1t is not known what amount
can be realized on other assets.
The loss to depositors will probably
be heavy as it is alleged that Larson
has in the past two years embezzled
to the extent of 100000 of the banks
funds.
Larson has also been charged with
making false entries, setting forth
that the bank owned $4,000 more in
bonds than it held, and with taking
$4,000 from the deposit box of a de-
position and putting it with the banks
cash to swell the assets
The president is accused with aid
ing and abetting the cashier in faIsi-
flying. The assistant casrier faces a
similar charge and also one of en-
bezzling S1,500

Saw Dust Roads In Florida.

They are making roads Of sawdust
mixed with earth on a new plan in
Leon County. Two ridges of earth
are thrown up with road machine
at the required width from each other
and the space between is filled with a
sixinch bed of sawdust. This is fol-
lowed with smaller machine which
plows up and mixes the earth with
the sawdust. This makes a roadbed
on which the tires of the heaviest
loaded vehicles make no impression.
The contractor G. H. Averitt, has kept
an accurate account Of expenses in
connection with this section of saw
dust and earth road and says the cost
aggregates 1927 mile, showing 1t to
be about the cheapest road material
in use. 1t may be suggested that saw
dust is not a durable material but the
True Democrat meets this objection

Reports from the principal CEN
ters of trade and commerce all sup
port this view.
Bank clearings for June show
gains of 1879 per cent. over 1908
and 11.2 per cent. over 1906, out
side New York, while in New York
the remarkable percentages of in
crease of 61.2 over 1908 and 1876
over 1906 are recorded. Railroad
earnings for three weeks of June
have been OF per cent. greater than
in 1908, the falling off as compared
with 1907 being 1913 per cent.
There is q marked contrast be-
tween present conditions and those
that existed six months or year
ago. There has been remarkable
expansion in the iron and steel
trade. Failures have greatly de-
creased. The six months liabilities
of concerns which have failed

riage which mysteriously disap-

FACTS ABOUT ANIMALS EYES.
Confirmation Of Darwin's Theory that
Man is Closely Related to Prlmates.

For some years past the eminent
british ophthalmologist, DR.. Lindsay
Johnson, has been investigating the
eyes of animals, and has made some
valuable discoveries of great interest
to zoology and our knowledge of the
evolution of various animals. One Of
the most remarkable of these re.
searches Is confirmation of Oar
wins theory that man Is closely re.
lated to the primates. From his in
vestigations DR.. Johnson has found
that the eyes CT all the apes, includ-
ing man, are practically identical.
Each has the highly complex system
Of veins and arteries, and the direct
or parallel vision. According to this
authority, the dog has two ancestors,
one round-eyed and the other oval.

animal in the scale, the further Is its

The eye curtain is precisely the
same as that which is found in all
tropical animals, such as the omega,
camel, antelope, ETC., and fulfills one
important function-the protection of
the eye from sunlight. One result of
DR.. Johnson's researche., according
to Prof. Ray Lancaster, the celebrated
zoologist, will necessitate reclassi-
fication in one section of zoology.

Decided Against Honesdale Manufac.
tuPpp,


All discrimination is not forbidden
by the act to regulate commerce, but
only such discrimination as is undue.
This, in effect, was a decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission on
Tuesday of last week, in the case of
the Herbeck-Demer Co., of Homes
dale, against the Baltimore and Ohio
and Pennsylvania Railroads.
The complainant has travelling
statesmen who carry about 1850
pounds of baggage, on all over $50
pounds of which they have to pay ex-
cess fare. The claim was made that
If the railways charged for all bag
gage they might well reduce the
charge now made for the transporta-
tion of excess baggage, thereby bene-
fitting the complainant. 1t was urg-
ed that when a railroad charged the
same amount for carrying a passen-
ger without baggage as it charged a
passenger with $50 pounds of bag
gage it was discriminating against the
former in violation of law.
The commission held that the dis
elimination was not unlawful.
