n 7 seems aImosr incredible that an or
phanage like that for which the Sal
walton Army is sponsor could have
developed into such a really remark
able institution without public ac-
acknowledgement of the fact. Perhaps it
IS because the work of the Salvation
Army, here as elsewhere, is taken for
granted. People expect results from
the unselhsh. consecrated efforts of the
men and women Of this organization,
and besides the rescue work has been
so emphasized to the average mind that
the splendid effort for the dependent
children has not become generally
known.

Eighteen of the prisoners were sentenced

others are to be imprisoned in fortress

half years.
The exiles include Prof Rochkoff of the
University of Moscow, whose connection
with the party for q number of years has
been a mystery to the police. The au-
thorities were aware that one Of the most
competent members of the central COM
mittee resided permanently in Russia. but
they never identified this man with the
noted university authority on Russian his

by his own carelessness he went to St.
Petersburg instead Of fleeing abroad and
continued his activity under a false pass

Imprisonment he produced q valuable
work on the economic condition of Russia

WRIGHTS WELCOMED WITH JOY
RETURNED AVIAToRS GREETED
WITH ENTHUSIASTIC.
Five Thousand Persons Turn Out at
Dayton, Ohio, to Shout Praises
Of the Celebrated Brothers.

DAYTON. Ohio, May 14.-Almost every
resident of the west side, where the
Wright home is situated, turned out for
a special celebration in honor of the cele-
brated brothers who returned yesterday
with their sister from Europe. The
streets were black with people and it
was almost impossible for late comers
to get anywhere near the house. A
band played, cannons were fired at inter-
walls, and each Of the Wright boys made
a modest speech.
Orvile and Wilbur Wright, the avia-
tors. and their sister Katherine were
welcomed home yesterday by one of the
proudest fathers in the world. Bishop
Milton Wright Katherine was the first
to see the aged father as he made hts
way to where the party was alighting.
He was leading 1vanette, the fve-year-
old daughter of Lorin Wright, another
son. Five thousand persons we're cheer
ing, whistles were screeching and cannon
doomed.
Father Overcome With Emotion.
"Oh. there's daddy" shouted Miss
Wright as she ran ahead of her brothers
and threw her arms about him, kissing
him again and again. Then Orville and
Wilbur drew up and each embraced and
kissed his father. The aged mans heart
was too full of happiness for speech and
he pulled his broad felt hat down over his
eyes to hide the tears that were starting.
Wilbur, holding his overcoat and suit
case in one hand. picked up his little
niece, Ivanette. In the other and smoth-
cred her with kisses. The crowd cheered.
The throng then pushed forward to get
look at the famous aviators, and 1t was
with difficulty that the party reached
their carriages. Close personal friends of
the brothers and lifelong neighbors stop
ped the procession to grasp their hands
Beautiful bouquets were thrust upon
them, and their path leading to the car
riages was strewn with carnations.
Streets Lined With Thousands.
The route to their home was decorated
with flags and bunting, and the streets
were lined with thousands Of people. AS
the carriages drew near the Wright
home, modest frame dwelling, a band
fell in line.
At home a gay sight met their eyes.
Hundreds of bright colored toy balloons
were bobbing back and forth in the trees
along the street, and other decorations
made the place look like fairyland.
