ONE WRIGHT TO LIVE
IF OTHER rs KILLED

CHICAGO, July ga Washington
special to the Inter Ocean says:
It is grewsomely interesting fact
that the Wright brothers never fly to-
gether. The reason is simple. An ac-
cident such as occurred last summer,
when Orville Wright and Lieut.. Sell
fridge were preeipitated to the earth,
might kill both the brothers. This is
tragedy they are guarding against.
Orville Wright has declared that dur
ing their long course Of experiments
for the development of an aeroplane
he and his brother never attempted to
fly together.
The Wright brothers are close COR
poration, and they have not communi-
Gated to anybody the scientific discov-
cries during their long investigations of
the problem of aerial navigation. If
both should be killed by an untimely
accident, their secret would die with
them, and they have wisely decided not
to risk humiliation at single disas-
ter. They are Unconditional men and
realize that death may overtake them
at any time. If it should come it would
visit them singly.

WATERWAYS COMMISSION
(Conunued From Page one.)

CONTINUED From Page One.)
doleful story of railroad rates lower
! than water rates, wherever there is
/ serious competition, has required again
and again throughout the United
| States, as wen as the story Of railroad
owned steamers driving old and estab-
lished freight boats out of business.
England has had Commission study
| ing these very problems for some time.
It's members are now in session at Lon
don. IF the Commission can sail by
the very end of July, its members ex-
pect to encounter the EngIishmen in
London and ascertain whether they
have acquired any views about
the situation which they did not
feel like putting upon paper in
their exhaustive reports. The trans
portation history of English rivers has
been very like that of American rivers.
Competition has been throttled on
every hand by the railroads. The rivers
have been allowed to FIJI with silt and
sand distractions, the canal system has
gone to decay.
Quite the contrary has been true Of
Germany where the railroads are owned
by the state The Kaiser country is
said to have the best and commercially
most efficient canals of any nation Of
the world and the rivers are utilized
more extensively than elsewhere for
carrying cargoes. The water routes in
France, where the railroads are con-
trolled by the state, are also valuable
adjuncts of a very large interior COM
merce. These known facts raise the in
quiry whether the investigations of the
Commission are likely to incline its
Senators and Representatives to recon-
mend to Congress stricter regulation of
American railroads; also whether their
investigations may not give impetus to
the issue of government ownership.
The Congressional travellers have
comprehensive itinerary, which will
take them to most of the big rivers of
Europe and to the best of the canal sys-
tens. They will explore the Rhine, the
Rhone, the Danube, the Woser and pos
sib1y the Loire. They will take cool
voyages by water and hot rides by rail
in traversing expanses between Berlin,
Vienna, Budapest, Usovo, Belgrade,
Strasburg and Rotterdam.
The Senate's Commissioners are Bur-
ton, of Ohio; Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire; Smith, of Michigan; Lorimer, of
Illinois; Piles, of Washington; SIM
mons, of North Carolina, and Clarke,
of Arkansas. Those from the House
are Alexander, of New York; Stevens,
of Minnesota; Wanger, of Pennsyl-
vania; Sparkman, of Florida, and
Moon, of Tennessee. Lorimer was
originally named as commissioner of
the House, where he was then serving. |
He will not accompany his colleagues,
but may JOIN them in about month.
Clarke of Arkansas will not go at al,
That leaves party of ten.
They are not charged with formulat-
ing legislation, and except as individual
members Of their respective branches
of Congress, have no authority to pro-
pose bills for the Improvement of water |
ways in compliance with ideas they
gather while abroad. But it is expected |
that Congress in making river and har!
Dor appropriations hereafter will be /
guided by their recommendations. $50
