FLYING MACHINE
IS NOT SUITABLE
FOR DROPPING EXPLOSIVES ON
WARSHIPS, SAY WRIGHT
BROTHERS.
The Airship inventors Are Shy About
Talking About Their Exploits
Refused $5ooo.oo offer.

NEW YORK, May 13.-The Wright
borthers, Wilbur and Orville, left New
York for their home in Dayton, Ohio,
after day spent in receiving the trib-
utes and compliments of friends and
admirers.
However much at home the brothers
may be among the perils of the upper
air they showed again today that they
were extremely shy guests of honor. At
the luncheon rendered by the Aero
Club of America, at the Lawyers Club,
both had consented with considerable
reluctance to allow their names to go
down on the program of speakers. But
, their speeches were models of brevity,
and the pair appeared immensely re-
lieved when the ordeal was over. Will
bur spoke first-three sentences that
lasted less than sixty seconds by the
clock. Orville followed and his speech
was just half long as his brothers.
Assailed by the interviewers the
Wrights found little to add to the few
things the said yesterday. Orville re-
ferred all questions to Wilbur, and
Wilbur turned them over to Orville.
Together they said that in their opin-
ion the use of the aeroplane for drop
ping bombs or explosives into a hostile
army was impracticable
"The only practicable use of aero
planes in warfare will be as scouts and
messengers, they said.
The plane must rise 1000 or 1900
feet above the ground in order to be
safe from shell fire, and at that dis
tance you can't drop anything with ac.
curacy from machine moving at forty
or fifty miles an hour"
The Wrights refused an offer of
$4,000 for a single flight in connection
with the celebration at the opening of
the city's new Greensboro bridge in
June. Their time was fully taken up
with the government contracts, until
June 2S, they said.

Louisiana Bankers Association to thu
Mississippi Bankers Association. The
Mississippi bankers, about 100 strong
will be Joined in New Orleans by about
the same number of bankers from
Alabama and Texas.
The State Associations of Louisiana
Mississippi, Texas and Alabama, as
it happened met very closely together
| as to time, and out of this fact largely
grew the proposition to get the bank
! ers of these staes co-operated into one
{ banking organization as a means of
better furthering the financial COM
mercial and agricultural conditions of
the states named, and this may be
done because of the fact that the inter-
ests of these four states are so closely
allied.
Discussions that have taken place
before the state associations at their
respective meetings indicate that con.
ditions have made it necessary to
somewhat change the banking methods
of banking the farmers especially and
of other interests of the states named.
The question so far as it affects
the farmer shows the need of a change.
Before the Columbus meeting statis-
tics were presented which showed
what an alraming proportion of the
cotton crop of certain districts is an
nually sent to the west for grain, meat
and other food products at times this
amount reaching two-thirds of the to-
tai value of the cotton sold.
The bankers after experiences Of
years see the necessity of seeking a
change of some kind which will not
only help the former but aid in general
prosperity. One thing that has caught
their attention and to which they
have given and are giving much atten-
ton is the diversification of crops and
in finding methods by which this di-
versification may be furthered.
This subject and others relating to
the material interests of the four
states now represented in New Or
leans, it is probable will be taken up
by larger body representing the four
states and therefrom a more compact |
Of cooperation be reached for the best |
interests of agricultural and industrial
demands, but also for the benefit of

Ground.-cabinet Acts Promptly and
Firmly.

PARIS, May 13.-The first day Of
the postal strike passed peacefully
No disturbances were reported and
the movement appears not to have
gained ground. The services in Paris
and throughout the provinces with the
exception of that of the railway mail
clerks, are normal, and as a result
there has been no need to take ad-
vantage of the preparations made by
the various business organizations and
commercial bodies to carry on a pri-
vate letter service.
The Cabinet summarily dismissed
22S men, under the decree issued on
March IS, which authorized the dis
charge of strikers from the state SER
vice and made other provisions for
dealing with recalcitrants. The minis
ters are very confident that the re-
moval of the princapal fomentors of
the agitation will have the effect of
crushing the movement.
The leaders of the strike experience
ed another encouragement in the fail
ure of the Miners Congress at Lens
to vote a sympathetic strike, and I'D %
the present none of the trades unions
has made sign of joining the move
ment. At the same time, the Govern
ment is hurrying the preparation of it's
promised bill regarding the status of
state employees, which will be pre-
sented to a committee of Deputies Mon
day.
Official figures issued place the
number of strikers in Paris at 465 out
of 1000.
Owing to the detection of a major
ity of the mail clerks, the outgoing
mails are more or less strained. The
hotbed of the previous revolt, the
Central Telegraph Burean, is very
quiet, the night shift reporting for
duty as usual.
Reports from the provinces show
that the movement has not made much
headway, except at Havre, where a
special service arranged by the Cham
Der OF Commerce will be inaugurated.
AT Bordeaux, Lille and Charles. condi-
tlons are normal. In some cities, not
ably Lyons and Chambery, the postal
employees have openly expressed their
dlsapproval of the strike. There is
some anxiety at the Paris hotels.
where numerous Americans are ex-
pecting letters containing bank drafts
lest these miscarry because of the
