M. LATHAM FLIES WELL
French Aviator Handles Monoplane in
Superb Manner in Stiff
Breeze

PARIS. June 9.-The interests of
French aviators have been focused of
late on the doings of the young aeronaut
Herbert Latham. who has been flying at
Mourmelon-Le-Grand in a monOplane
Following up his performance of three
days ago when he remained in the air
for 1 hour Z minutes II seconds, NJ
Latham last evening made a series of
brilliant flights in which his machine
demonstrated considerable stability in
the face of a tifteen-mile breeze. He
showed good general control and also
facility in changing from one altitude to
another. Els flight ranged from 10 to
80 yards high.
Latham's machine suggests bird. 1t
has two rigid wings a foot thick in the
center and tapering into flexible fms de
signed to give stability. The space be-
tween the two layers of canvas is water
proof, and is calculated to insure safety
should the machine fall into the water.

Bold Chinese Rrigands.

Whole districts in the province Of XII
angsu are reported to be terrorized by
brigands. East of Yaowan, on the Grand
Canal, close on 100 cases of kidnapping
have occurred during the last winter.
Scholars on the road to school, rich men
and even men worth only $50 or 500,
have been caught and held for ransom.
The prices paid have ranged from 500
to $1,000. Schools are being closed and
men are afraid to go from home. In
Pichow the conditions are said to be
worse. Recently a man who was acting
as a spy on the robbers was found by
the roadside with his heart cut out. The
hrigands have established a regular tar
if of blackmail. While the supineuess of
the authorities is largely responsible,
their difficulties are increased by the fact
that the people compound with the rob
bers and agree not to report and prose-
cute on the promise of immunity.-l.on on

EXPLAINS $500" RULING
curing Opinion in Crossing Con-
troversy at Superior.

MADISON, Wis, June 9.-ISpecial.
The crossing controversy between the
Great Northern and the 800" railroads
at Superior was the subject of con-
curing opinion filed in the supreme
court today by Associate Justice Mar
shall who explains some OF the language
used by Justice Kerwin i'll the opinion
for the court filed last Friday, and in a
way replies to the dissenting opinion
written by Associate Justice Barnes and
concurred in by Chief Justice Winslow.
Justice Marshall, however, in his con-
curing opinion, says that the exercise
Of police power must be reasonable, that
when property is taken under the police
power and practically devoted to public
use compensation must be accorded, that
this decision does not interfere with the
requirement of safety devices in the flu
ture and that it is practicable, although
perhaps difficult, TO determine the future
cost of operating and maintaining an
interlocking plant.

Vienna's Plague of Pigeons.

Vienna is suffering from too many
pigeons and the authorities are at loss
to know what to do to mitigate the nui-
sance. The birds, which number some
thousands, have a privileged existence;
nobody molests them in any way, so that
they flourish and increase rapidly. Re-
Gently so many complaints have been re-
ceived from house owners of the dirty
condition of the facades of buildings
caused by the pigeons that the Vienna
magistracy decided something must be
done to reduce the number. In their
perplexity the magistracy appealed to
the Vienna Society for the Protection of
Animals to ala them in legal slaughter
of the offending birds, always having re-
gard. however, to the provisions of the
new birds protection law. The society
answered that it would be hardly con-
sistent with their principles of friendli-
ness toward animals to engage in a mas
sacre of pigeons, and therefore they must
reject the official appeal. The magistracy
are now wrestling with the problem
alone. Perhaps the unemployed of
Vienna might help them.-Vienna Dis
