ENTITLED TO
 INCREASED PAY

Little Rock, April 2I.-Attorney General Hal l.. NorW Wood yester- day afternoon rendered a lengthy opinion as to the number of su- preme court judges who are en- titled to receive an annual com pensation of S4, 900, according to the act of the legislature passed in 1907. He holds that all judges with the exception of Justice Bat tie, are entitled to receive the in creased amount. Taking the case of Judge Carroll D. Wood there is no ground for doubt, for he has just been re elected for a newterm.
 He then takes Justice Jesse C.
 Hart and shows by decisions of other state courts in similar cases,
 where salaries of judges cannot be raised or lowered during their term but when a new judge succeeds them he is beginning term, of his own and consequently a new term and he can draw the salary provided by law before his election.
 Justices Frauenthal and McCul- loch have just entered upon new terms through appointment by Governor Donaghey, which leaves Justice Battle as the only man serving the state for the old salary.

THE AIRSHIP.

The Wright aeroplane came to grief
again yesterday afternoon at Fort Myer
after having broken the worlds record
for speed. Two flights were made by
Orville Wright 10 the early evening, the
machine remaining in the air ii min
utes the first time and 9 minutes the Sec
oud time, a speed of fully 40 miles an
hour having been developed.
Upon making the ninth circuit of the
field on the second fight the engine be-
gan to miss FIRE and on nearing the lower
end of the field it shut of entirely. The
height was about IS feet. Yet the de.
scent was made gracefully and naturally
in almost straight course toward the
lower corner OF the field. The ground
was studded with small shrubs, but what
appeared to large shrub turned out to
| be a small tree, with limbs chopped of
sharp, and the machine struck it. As a
consequence the lower right wing Of the
aeroplaue was caught and torn, dragging
the machine around to the right, caus-
ing a sharp drop and twist of the skids,
demolishing them.
The serOplaue Was not vitality injured,
however, the engine and main body re-
naming intact, and it will be able to
fly again after the repairs are completed.
Another fight, it is expected, will be
made on Tuesday evening next.
Washington, July S-Esrly this
morning the Wright brothers and
Charley Taylor, their mechanic, were 90
hand at the aeroplaDe shed at Fort Myer
binding up the injured machine. The
sled like runners beneath the aeroplane
were splinted by the fall of last evening
aud will have to be replaced. The canvas
covering Of the lower main plane Is torn
scross the right end and that portion of
the machine will have to be recovered
with new cloth. This latter injury is the
one which will cause the most delay in
again getting the aeroplaue in shape.
By Tuesday or Wednesday of next week
Orvile and Wilbur expect to have the
plane recovered spd new skids in place,
ready for another fight. No more ad-
justments will be necessary, although
the engine may be overhauled little
during the other repairing

PIANO STRENGTH,

The back and plates in the Weaver
piano are built along the lines of the old
high grade artistic instruments, many
of which were improved in tone with
use for a number of years, and held
their own for several generations. The
manufacturers Of the Weaver piano have
no sympathy with the modern idea of
reducing the weight of the piano, to
save freight and a few dollars in the
cost of manufacturing, at the expense Of
the staying qualities of the piano. The
combined pressure of all the strings in a
piano when properly tuned up amount
to about twenty tons. Weakness in
construction disappoints many a Gus
toner who purchases piano with many
of the features of a strictly high grade
instrument. but which soon becomes
weak and met ,llic in tone and does not
have the rigidity to keep it in tune
and to keep the entire structure in
proper position, so as to allow the
action 10 work freely and properly
throughout the life of the piano. Pur-
chasers of Weaver pianos do not have
this risk. All improvements of value
that have been developed by modern
methods have been adopted for the
Weaver piano and old time strength
and durability are studiously maintsin-
ed. Ask for catalogue.

Loyalists Defeated

TaDgier, Morocco, July S.-News hiss
Just reached here of a bloody battle
fought 10 the desert on Juue 2Sth be-
tween the Uladjemsa tribemen, who are
loyal to the sultan, and the rebel e.
Roghis tribesmen. The battle waged
from early morning until nearly dusk,
when a dare devil charge by the rebels
put the loyslisis to utter flights. Both
sides we're armed with modern rifles, and
the rebels charged in the face of a gall
ing machine gun fire, coming up to close
qusrters and using the bsyonet. The
field was a shamblts, both the rebels and
the loyalists losing hundreds of men.
The loyslists fought with fsnstical zeal
before fleeing, but could not Withstand
the terrible onslaught of the rebel forces.
Dining the night large forcss of the
rebels, 10 patrols, searched the field
where the battle had been fought, and
with their swords cut OF the heads OF
every one of the wounded who could be
found. Not a single one escaped.
