NEPHEW OF ASTOR
ARRESTED FOR BILL
Charles Newhall, jr., Son of
Philadelphia Millionaire,
Left Owing Hotel.

PHILADELPHIA, oct. 1S.-Charles
Newhan jr., nephew of John Jacob As
tor, and son of millionaire Charles New
hail. was arrested at the Broad STREET
Station here today. and is being held
to await the coming of the Washington
police. who asked his arrest under a
warrant sworn out by the New willard
Hotel, charging Newhall with jumping
a board bill.
A warrant for the arrest of George
T. NewhalI, accused of jumping
board bill Of $500 at the New VIII
lard, has been in the hands Of the
Washington police since last June,
when Newhau spent two days at the
hotel Newhall is said to be well
known in Philadelphia and a member
of a prominent family. but for some
reason the police experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in locating him
Known by Sight
Although Newhal had not been a
frequent visitor at the Willard. clerks
who had been employed at the large
hotels in Philadelphia, New York,
and Baltimore, and who are now con-
nected with the Willard, knew him
by sight and reputation. NewhaIl.
an unusually pleasing manner, had
long been a familiar figure around
the corridors of hotels in other cities,
and was reputed to be q man of con-
siderable wealth.
He arrived in Washington on June
90, and left the city the following
day. having run up a bill Of $3.50.
An effort was made by the hotel peo-
pie 10 get in communication with him
in Philadelphia. as it was thought the
failure to settle the account was an
oversight Failing to locate him at
an address in Chestnut avenue. where
he was supposed to live, the case was
turned over TO the police.
Inspector Boardman, Chief of De-
tectives, had received no Official in
formation of NewhaITs arrest up to
noon today, but said he would send a
man to Philadelphia for the prisoner
as soon as the Quaker city authorities
communicated with him.

Wilbur Wright began his early morn
ing instruction work at College Park
today, when he made four flights with
a total of practically fifty minutes in
the air.
One of the trips was the longest in
point Of time that Wilbur Wright has
ever made in the vicinity of the Capital
It lasted eighteen minutes and thirty
seven seconds,
The first flight began at 6:36, and
lasted for eleven minutes and forty
seven seconds. With Mr.. Wright was
Lieutenant Humphreys. who was per
mitted to gain little more knowledge
or the intTlcaCleS Of biplane operation.
At 1;l7 Mr., Wright went I'D again,
taking with him Lieutenant Lahm. On
this trip he broke his previous records
for long time flying at College Park.
"A third flight, with Lieutenant Hum
phreys as passenger. began at 7:47 and
lasted ten minutes and thirteen seconds.
Both officers are gradually acquiring
some degree Of skill, and Mr.. Wright is
allowing them greater share in the
operation OF the bi-plane with each trip.
After the fourth flight, which began
at 1907, and lasted about twelve minutes.
ten miles per hour, and so ended the
morning lesson. Lieutenant Lahm was
the passenger on this flight
Not a Comparison.
While no one who has seen Orville
and Wilbur Wright operate one Of their
biplanes would care to make odious
comparisons. there isn't any doubt in
the minds of the aeronautic critics that
Prof. Wilbur. who is now dean of the
School Of Applied Aeronautics at Col
lege Park. is a more deft performer
than is the brother now in Germany.
Although IL is aVeTred nv close friend
Of the two aviatOrs that OrvilIe Wright
is the nervier. and although his flights
at Fort Myer were over ground more
dangerous than the new Government
aerOdrOme, the fact remains, the critics
agree, that Wilbur has a touch more
s1iliful and a hand that seems to know
every whim of his machine
Not once since Wilbur has been fiving
at College Park has he made a landing
which would disgrace common or gar
den variety of bird. Not once has he
broken a skid or raised even a small
cloud of dust. He has made turns
which were rema rkably abrupt and has
driven the biplane around the field so
evenly that il looked as If some one
were carrying it along on the palm Of
his hand.
Orville Is Daring.
While no one would think of saying
that Orville Wright at Fort Myer didn't
exhibit all kinds Of nerve and great
skin, yet no one who has seen both
brothers operate would be likely to pass
over the differences in their manipuIa-
ton. OF course Orville had a hard field
to fly over while Wilbur hasn't; Orville
had worse weather to buck into and he
faced thousands Of spectators where a
slip might have meant serious injury
10 some Of them. StiIl, taking It all In
all, the aeronautic critics agree that

LEAGUE CONDEMNS
FERRER'S EXECUTION

Basing their action upon the facts as
they now appear to the world. the
Washington Secular League has adopted
the following resolution condemning the
execution of Francisco Ferrer:
Resolved. That we view his exeCu-
ton with horror and moral detestation
as a crime against freedom Of thought
ana teaching. and a blind and futile at
tempt on the part OF decadent mon
aTchism and medieval eCcIesiasticism to
stay the march Of progress and Ctviliza-
ton"
At a meeting in Pythian Temple last
night the execution was discussed by
President II. c. Kirk. The league went
on record as disclaiming all indorse-
ment Of violence as a method of reform.

NeW Registration.

The new registration law re-
euiras an entirely new registration.
Tho registration Office will remain
open. like all other public offices,
al the year, aud every day Of the
year, with the exception of Sun
days and legal holidays.
This is a Democrat law, and like
all other Democratic election laws,
has one particular feature, which
is not relished by the free born
American, and that feature is the
declaration of party utilization. a
voter ia registering has to declare
his politics, he must belong to one
party, aud We doubt that after re-
ylStrrIng that he will be given the
right to quit one party to join an
other.
Ii he fails to declare his party
utilization, he will not be permit
ted tn vote at any primary cleo
ton, aud in this state, he will be
entirely deprived of his right of
voting for the candidates of his
choice, because all the candidates
are elected at the primary election,
the general election being merely
foimaIlty to confirm the primary.
Those of our people in political
affairs should make it duty to
visit the registration office and
get duplicate of the registration
lists in order to be sure that office
is conducted in a manner that will
be beyond reproach. and free from
all reports We have SO often heard
about that office in the past.

Plant Potatoes Says Jordan.

J. W. Jordan, general freight
aud Passenger agent of the Opel
ousas, Gulf d Northeastern, advi-
ses the farmers of Acadia and St.
Landry to engage III culture of po-
tatoes for shipment to northern
markets. In a recent Interview
Mr. Jordan said
Having carefully investigated
the potato industry which has been
carried Oh in the Deighborhood of
Alexandria, La, for several years,
| find it To have been highly sue
cessful; two crops il year being
raised off the same ground and
both finding ready market at at.
traciive prices. L was shown lots
of fine second crop potatoes that
were raised on ground that had
been overilowed, and understand
the yield per acre was in the neigh
borhood of two hundred bushels.
The second crop Oh the same land
and au overflow in the meantime"
"Our lands are just as suitable
to potato culture as any in the
State. We have the same rates on
potatoes from all points on our
line to Northern and Eastern mar
kets as are in effect from Alexan-
dria, and would be glad to see the
farmers tributary to our line plant
a few acres of potatoes each, which
should be done the last of Janua-
ry or early in February.
"ln IA conversation with Crockett
II We'll, of Alexandria, La, who
make specially of the potato ill.,
dustry aud handle the bulk of the
crop from that territory, they adj
vised that if the various localities
along our line would form associa-
tons SO they would deal with them
in a body, they would be glad to
meet them and could no doubt
reach satisfactory agreement for
securing seed potatoes for mar
keting the crop. Would suggest
the forming of associations and
the matter taken up at once"
