LAMBERT'S FLIGHT IS
DUBBED FOOLHAROY
WRIGHT SAYS FRENCHMAN'S
FEAT SPECTACULAR
American Aviator Declares Counts
Voyage over Eiffel Tower Most
Daring Aeronautical Accom-
pllshment of Year

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Wilbur
Wright. who is here in connection with
his airship lawsuits, said when asked
what he considered to be the greatest
accomplishment of thee year in aero
nautics:
"If newspaper reports are accurate,
the fight of Count de Lambert over
Eiffel tower is the most daring and
spectacular aeronautical feat ever ac-
complished. While my brother is re-
ported to have flown higher, his flight
was of a different character 1 have
had no private account of the ascen-
sion. It was not only wonderful, but
foolhardy. I am opposed to such eXhi-
billions. which tend not only to endan-
ger the life Of the aviator but Of
others"
Negotiations which will give the
Aero Club of America not only the
first public aviation park in the United
States. but probably the largest flying
grounds in the world, have been com
pIeted, and the club obtains control of
a large level tract of land near Min
cola, L. l.. where Glenn H. Curtiss
made his flights.
There are 10000 acres over which the
clubs flying machines may soar. and
a small portion of adjacent land has
been secured on which will be erected
aeroplane sheds, machine shops, and
if developments should demand, a
club house, grandstand and other
structures for the accommodation of
large crowds The area will afford
ample space for a ten-mile closed Cir
cult or for a straightaway flight of
twenty miles.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. = Samuel

Morrison of the American Federation of
Labor, who were Sentenced by Justice
Wright 10 jail terms Of twelve. nine
and six months respectively for con-
tempt in the now famous injunction
proceedings Of the Bucks Stove and

an application to the United States su-

court of appeals sustains the action Of
the trial court
An editorial by President Gompers in
the November issue of the American
Federation is as follows:
Whatever the decision of the court
of appeals may be it must ultimately
lead to victory for labor, and a victory
for labor win mean a victory for all
the people. Should the court sustain
the appeal and annul the sentences it
will maintain beyond question the right
of free speech and free press.
'If it should sustain the decision Of
Justice Wright it will simply mean
that an appeal must be taken to the
highest court in the land to obtain a
final determining word as to the jul
dicial conception of the existing con-
stitutional guarantees. Even should the
highest judicial tribunal Of the country
fail to maintain the right Of free
speech and free press there is still a

ATLANTIC COAST STATES
TO ASSIST INDEPENDENCE E

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The re-
port that the revolutionary admins
tration under Gen. Estrada contem-
plates an early proclamation of the in
dependence of the Atlantic coast states
of Nicaragua as a republic seems to
have basis in fact. --
At any rate, it is believed this pro-
posed step on the part of the Estrada
administration is backed by almost
unanimous public sentiment in those
states.
The state department has received
an official dispatch from Nicaragua to
that general effect, and the officials
would not be surprised at the issue of
a declaration of independence very
soon.
1t is well known here among diplo-
mats and others we'll informed that
the state department is in full sym
pathy with the revolutionary move
ment and would welcome any change
that would result in the retirement of
Zelaya.

DANISH CAPATILIST IN
SEARCH OF DAUGHTER
BELIEVES GIRL AND DOCTOR
ARE IN LOS ANGELES
Hans 5orse of Copenhagen viii Reach
Angel City Today After Eighteen
Months Hunt for the
Couple

SALE LAKE CITY. Oct 29.-In the
course of a countrywide search for a
daughter, who is described as young
and beautiful, Hans Borse, a capitalist
of Copenhagen, Denmark, has reached
Salt Lake and will journey to Los An
geles.
The girl, Mr.. Borse says, was dying
of tuberculosis four years ago. AS a
last resort he sent her to America in
care of physician, DR.. Carl Bourne of
Copenhagen. The climate of the United
States worked wonders. Letters re-
ceived by the anxious father told of the
continued Improvement of the patient
and at last he was told that her recov-
cry was complete and she was ready to
go home. He says that he sent her a
considerable sum of money for the ex-
penses of the trip.
She did not reach home, and her let
ters ceased. Tortured by anxiety, Mr.
Borse finally came to America and for
eighteen months has gone from city to
city in quest of his daughter and Dr.
Bourne
He satisfied himself that the two were
in Colorado Springs last June, but he
missed them. His latest information
leads him to believe that the girl and
her physician are now in Los Angeles

& CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-With her arms
resting across the back of a black
stained settee such as her father, Will
liam Morris, poet and artist, might
have designed many years ago, Miss
May Morris at Hull house last night
said she saw a tiny ray of promise for
art in America.
perhaps the only comment that 1
dare make of art in the states is this, y
she said your country house archt-
lecture is original and promising. L
had an opportunity to see something of
your country houses in Pennsylvania,
and I was much impressed with them.
IT regret to say that 1 am a little
pessimistic about art in England.
Aeroplanes and the motor are-Weak-
ening the interest in art. The Engllsh
people lust now. are more excited about
aeroplanes and aviation, but motoring
still draws their fancy, and the result
is those who are supporting art-lts
patrons-are not so numerous"
Miss Morris was asked If she was IN
favor Of votes for women:
"oh, I knew that was coming, Sne
replied. Eyes, I am-Just small p1t
but I'm not actively engaged IN
working for it. 1t will win, of course
and I'm glad 1t will be soon, for there
are more important things. My inter-
est in suffrage is linked with the guild
workers in the arts and crafts" .
Miss Morris said she had attended
a recent meeting of American suf-
fragettes in Carnegie hall and was I'M
pressed with their enthusiasm.
IT should say the American women
were as enthusiastic as our women IN
England. There seemed as much IN
terest in the work here as'in England.

SAYS BARRILL DOES
NOT FEAR CONFLICT
WITH HERO OF POLE

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-"Edward
N. Barrill does not fear DR.. Cook nor
does he fear legal trouble with him.
He has retained me as counsel in case
Cook makes any false charges against
him.
This was the statement tonight of
Gen. James M. Ashton, a prominent
lawyer of Tacoma, Wash, who recent
ly examined Barrill and others IN con-
nection with their expedition with DR..
Cook to Mount Mckinley.
Barrill, who was one of DR.. Cook s
guides, testified that DR.. Cook never
came within fourteen miles of reach
ing the summit of Mount Mckinley.
The deposition of Barrill and others
was taken at the request of GEN.
Thomas H. Hubbard of the Peary
Arctic club.
"a The other guide examined by Gen.
Ashton was Fred Printz, whose tes-
timony as far as it goes, Gen. Ashton
declares, corroborates Barrill.
Gen. Ashton admitted tonight that
he had paid Barrill and Printz about
5000 in compensation for their travel
ing. expenses from their homes to Ia
coma and back.
Gen. Ashton received telegram
some time ago from Gen. Hubbard re-
S--AN-

"I was told by Gen. Hubbard" said
Gen. Ashton. "to get the exact facts.
I had not the remotest idea of what
Gen. Hubbard's relations were with
Commander Peary until my arrival in
New York city"
After rounding up the two gides,
Gen. Ashton said he promised them a
per diem sum for their expenses.
when they were in my Office" said
Gen. Ashton, ''I put them through a
course of sprouts as rigorous as any
cross examination 1 have ever wit
messed.
''I wanted the exact truth, and the
afidavits that have been published are
the result of those rigorous hours in
my private office. AS for Barrill he
may be nothing but mountain guide,
but he is a type Of our hard working
western men who will fight rather
than lie.
''Barrill says any one can go up on
the mountain with him, take a photo
graph of him as Cook did at the same
place, and that such party will get
the self same result Cook got; that it
will be apparent the place is about
twenty miles in an air line from the
summit"
Gen. Ashton has been here for sew
eral days in connection with a suit.

which she contemplates the immedi-
ate erection of a modern residence.
She also filed on 800 acres of govern
ment land fifty miles east of Denver
Also the following colored citizens
of Denver have taken the wise step
to file homestead entries upon 800
acres each in Arapahoe county firty
miles east of Denver:
w. H. Penson; C. w. King Ga large
property owner of Denver) Jno. w.
Roe; Charles Pearson; Marion Robin
son; j. T. Jones; W. A. Moore; Mrs.
c. Pugh; William Mallory.
This is, indeed, an exceedingly wise
step for the race on the part of these
citizens, and the Colorado Statesman
frankly advises all our citizens to get
busy and secure some of this free land
as it is fine soil which will produce
fine crops of wheat, corn oats, gar
den products, etc.
Anyone wishing information about
these homesteads can get same by
calling upon either G. w. King, 2435
Arapahoe, or Marion Robinson, 1929
Nineteenth street. This land is being
taken rapidly and if you want por-
tion of this free land you must get
busy and act at once, as land is the
most stable foundation of all races,
why not ours?
