HOMAGE TO WR|GHTS
Aviators in Washington Receive
Aero Club Medals from
President Taft.
THOUSANDS ATTEND CEREMONY
Governors Send Laudatory Messages
Which Are to Be Given to the
"Conquerors of the Air."

The achievement of man fight, for
which men have striven for more than
1000 years, was celebrated in Wash
ington Thursday. After receiving ho-
mage from the rulers of Europe, Will
bur and Orville Wright, of Dayton.
Ohio, on that day received their first
public recognition by their fellow
countrymen. In the east room of the
White House President Taft presented
to the inventors the gold medals
awarded to them by the Aero Club of
America to commemorate the inven-
chine.
The event was one of national inter
est. The governors of the various
States sent laudatory messages con-
graduating the Wrights on their sue
cess. These, together with the resolu-
lions adopted by the numerous scien-
tific organizations and letters written
by prominent scientists, have been put
in book form and will be presented 20
the Wrights.
The Wright brothers, after being en-
tertained at luncheon by the Aero
Club of Washington, proceeded to the
White House. They were presented to
the President by Representative Her.
bert Parsons of New York, who told
of their great achievements. In pre-
senting the medals, President Taft
spoke briefly. More than 1000 invita-
tons had been sent out for the White
House ceremony.
At its annual meeting last year the
Aero Club of America. the pioneer avi-
alton club in the United States, elect
ed the Wrights to honorary member
ship and decided to award to each
gold medal. These were procured at a
cost of $4,000, obtained through the
subscriptions of its members. The
medals bear the likenesses of the two
brothers on one side and an inscrip-
ton on the reverse side.
Wilbur and Orville Wright, accom-
panied by their sister, Miss Katherine
Wright, were met at the station by
delegation from the Aero Club of
America. The Wright brothers were
taken to the Cosmos Club, where they
were entertained.

FLOOD LOSS IN COLORADO.
Four Lives Have Been Destroyed and
Train Service Is Interrupted.

Floods due to heavy rains, in some
instances approaching cloudbursts, and
melting snow is causing damage in
many sections of Colorado. Four lives
have been lost in swollen streams, and
much destruction of property caused.
Train service in all directions has,
been interrupted. The Grand juno

GEN. FUNSTON FIGHTS BURGLAR
Man Who Captured Aguinaldo Has .
Pistol Duel He Doesn't Enjoy.

Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston, the
man who captured Aguinaldo, fought
a burglar in his bedroom in Leaven-

was duel with pistols. The burglar,
who was poor marksman, escaped.
He didn't leave word whether he was
wounded, but it is supposed he was
not. Gen. Funston was silent about
the affair till night, and then he dis
cussed it as if he would rather cap
ture another Aguinaldo than go
through it again. He said The close
range firing made him nervous. The
intruder was a sneak thief. The gen

Trade Will Enable Increase.

Wages of the 1000 men in the Penn

CHICAGO.

Further evidences of the improving
state of business generally are seen
in a lower record of failures and
new high five-day exhibit of heavy
payments through the banks. The Of
fetal report and other advices indi-
cate that the crops make seasonable
progress. the growing condition being
entirely favorable. Unsettled weather
here retarded full activity in the lead
ing retail lines, but considerable de-
mand developed in the wholesale
branches of general merchandise and
shipments by dry goods houses were
larger than usual at this period.
Transportation of freight and pas
sengers show expansion. There is a
notably increased marketing and out
go of grain, and heavier movements
occur in finished products of the mills
and factories and in lumber, wool and
building materials.
Improved demands strengthen the
conditions in iron and steel, and this
causes more drawing upon capacity
of furnaces, FORCES. foundries and car
shops. Railroad needs come forward
quite freely now and are of more va
riety and extent than recently noted.
The effect stimulates preparations for
extended enterprise in manufacturing
and more hands find unemployment.
Numerous bookings strengthen opera
tions in pig iron. rails, equipment,
brass working ami furniture. Heavy
consumers find the cost of supplies
rising, and this induces wider buying
to protect future requirements. The
markets for raw materials are amply
stocked, except hides, which decreased
the better qualities. Industrial pros
poets would be brighter with an early
settlement of tariff revision, but much
encouragement is derived from the ex-
cellent outlook in agriculture. values

ing an accession of wealth to advance
manufactures and distribution.

may die as the result of wound re-
ceived in a shooting ARRAY at Fort
Des Moines, Iowa. Sunday
Upon being reprimanded by Captain
Raymond for overstaying his leave of
absence from the post, Corporal Lisle
Crabtree drew a revolver and began
firing at his commanding officer. The
first bullet went wild, the second
struck Sergeant James H. Washburn,
the third hit Captain Raymond and
the fourth found victim in Corporal
Elijah Such. The enraged trooper then
turned the pistol on himself and fired
the remaining bullet into his heart.
With the exception of Captain Ray
mond, none of the four is considered
seriously injured. Immediately after
the shooting Major Bratton, surgeon
of the regiment. had the officer re-
moved to Mercy Hospital in Des
Moines in special street car, where
an X-ray examination showed that the
bullet had entered the front of Captain
Raymond's neck and passed through,
striking the backbone. His body is
completely paralyzed from the neck
down and only slight hopes are enter
tanned for his recovery. Even if the
injured officer should live it is prob
able that he will be paralyzed.
Captain Raymond is a son of Brig
adler General Charles W. Raymond. of
the engineer corps, retired He is 81
years old and was graduated from
West Point in 1897. He is married
and has two children.

Southern France Feels Shock and

At least 100 dead. with every posi-
bility of the death list growing much
larger. and 100 hurt is the result of
the sharp earthquake which devas-
tated several towns and villages in the
southernmost part of France, partic-
ularly in the departments of Herault
and Bouches-du-Rhone
Great suffering is reported from the
remoter places. owing to a lack of
bread and the necessaries of life. be-
fore the arrival of assistance. The
casualties may be greatly increased,
as the ruins have not yet been entire
ly searched. The villages of st. Canal
and Rognes were completely demol-
ished by the earthquake, and Lambesc,
which is twelve miles from AK, suf-
Tered heavily. Survivors are sleeping
in tents, and the streets are impassa-
bic. In many places they have been
torn up and are incumbered with
masses of rocks. Houses, public build
ings and churches were crumbled to
pieces. Among other villages serious
ly damaged are Vauvenargues, Ven
Giles, Pelissanne, Puy-Ste-Reparade
and Arguilles.
The victims at st. Cannat and Rog.
nee were horribly mutilated. There
were evidences that several of the vic.
Tins had lived for hours imprisoned
by the debris before they died. The
people rushed into the streets when
the first shock occurred, crying out
in terror. Many of them returned to
the rescue of their families. At Rog.
nee family of four was buried in the
ruins. Their cries could be heard
throughout the night, but all were dead
in the morning when a rescuing party
reached them. At ST. Cannat an old
man and his son were watching a bill
lard game. They were instantly
killed The players escaped with slight
bruises. The chateau Valmousse, near
ST Cannat. was badly damaged. The
communal chateau at Arguilles was
split in two. The historic village of
Vernegues was wrecked, but no one
was killed. The monetary loss in the
affected district is very heavy.

500 CANAL IS WRECKED.
Three Ships and Many Lives Are
Endangered by Accident.


With all the weight of Lake Supe-
rior behind it, an ungoverned torrent
OF water now rushes through the 81,
100000 Canadian canal built to carry
vessels around the impossible rapids
of the Saint Mary's River at Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich. The entire fall OF APP
proximately twenty feet is concentrat-
ed in the lock which was wrecked
Wednesday when the steamer Perry G..
Walker of the Gilchrist fleet rammed
her bow through the lower gate.
The upper gates were open when
the Walker crushed open the lower
gates and the tremendous power of
the rapids was given instant play. The
steamer Assiniboia, big Canadian Pa
cific passenger liner, moored within
the lock chamber. was torn away from
her moorings. Riding on the crest of
the flood, she damned the Walker
from her path, the Assiniboias port an
Choir ripping a hole in the Walkers
side. The liners engine crew put on
full steam ahead in a desperate en-
way, and, with her wheelsmen battling
to overcome the swirling currents, the
Assiniboia swept into the open reaches
of the river below. The ASSN ;boia's
cargo shifted, and this gave her con-
siderable list, and several plates on
her port side forward of amidships
were loosened The Walker was whirl-
ed around several times, and finally
landed on a shoal out of the channel.
1t is said she is unchanged below the
water line
The ore-laden steamer Crescent City
of the Pittsburg Steamship Company,
which was just entering the locks from
Lake Superior when the accident oc-
CURED, was swept downstream like a
feather. She overlook the Assiniboia
and struck the latter two glancing
blows after having great hole torn in
her side as she swept past the broken
lower gate. Tugs caught her and
towed her to the American side, where
she settled to the bottom. Both the
upper gates of the lock and one lower
gate were wrench,d from their moor
ings. The other lower gate still hangs
to its fastenings. twisted and broken
The loss to the Canadian govern
ment will probably reach s250,OO0 and
the damage to the Crescent City is es-
timated at 100000. The damage to
the steamers Walker and Assiniboia
was comparatively light. Captain Mo-
sher of the steamer Walker declares
that the accident was caused by his
engineer making a mistake and throw
ing his lever to full speed ahead on
the captains signal to back up"
