CONVICT IS INVENTOR
William Howard PerfectS AirShip
Model in Prison.
ENE1, =E1HTT
Sent to Nebraska Penitentiary for
Burglary He Turns His Cell Into
Workshop-ProbabIy Will
Be Paroled.

Lincoln, Neb.-From convict No.
a narrow little cell in the Nebraska
state prison to the head of an air
ship manufacturing plant in st. Louis
Is likely for William Howard, an in
mate of the penitentiary near Lin
coin, under a six-year sentence for
burglary.
Howard. since he became an inmate
of the penitentiary, has perfected a
model of an airship which he is sure
will revolutiondze air travel: The plans
are In st. Louis, and patents are to
be procured. He says:
Howard, of course, is not my real
name. That was the name under
which / was sentenced, and that it
will remain until am out of prison.
do not wish to give my right name,
because 1t would be distressing to my
relatives and friends
Il was born in Missouri, below st.
Louis, nearly forty years ago. Ma
chinery has been my hobby ever
since / have been old enough to I'M
derstand the use of tools. Ten years
ago l took up the study of air navi-
cation, and have been working on
the problems at intervals since. My
plan Is similar in some respects to
that of Count Zeppelin, but 1 be-
lieve my model is an improvement
1t is an airship combining the prin-
ciple Of both the dirigible and aero
plane, but radically different from
that of the Zeppelin creation. In
stead of being huge collapsible gas
bag for sustaining power, mine will
be a rigid aluminium gas cylinder or
chamber. large enough, of course, to
correspond with the number of pas.
sengers to be carried in the basket.
This gas chamber will contain just
enough gas to hold the ship in air
A system of planes will act as the
Barbour County index., 1910-04-27

motive power and also serve, in case
of necessity, to carry the ship up
ward. The propulsion will not be by
direct gasoline power. 1t will be by
electricity generated by a gasoline
engine combined with dynamo.
Danger of collapse or other acct
dent with my ship will thus be re-
duced to a minimum. The gas cham.
Der can be made to sustain any
weight deemed necessary, but it will
be only secondary to the planes for
propulsion and weight-carrying pow
er. A chamber 200 feet long will prob
ably carry 25 passengers.
Count Zeppelin is certainly to be
congratulated on his success, but ex.
cept for my unfortunate arrest 1 be-
lieve l would have beaten him in the
inventive race. think I conceived
the idea in advance of him."
Howard's inventive genius has not
stopped with his dirigible aeroplane,
He is preparing plans for an aero
plane somewhat on the lines of the
Wright and Farnam biplanes. A pre-
liminary model has already been pre-.
pared. Not much attention was paid
to the models at frst, but Howard
stuck to his work. devoting most of
his time to his dirigible, the problem
he started to solve long before air.
ships were seriously discussed In this
country or Europe.
Howard has been an inmate of the
prison since March. 1907, following his
conviction for robbing the residence
OF E. T. Swobe. manager OF the Ma.
tional Fidelity Company of Omaha
Before his conviction he invented a
cigar-making machine which he sold
to the American Tobacco Company
for $4,000.
A mail box lock, invented by him
had been favorably reported by the
government. Locks had played an
important part in Howard's troubles
and successes. The charge of his
picking one and entering the Swobe
residence and making away with
several hundred dollars worth OF
silverware. led to his being sent to
prison.

The Response Mechanieal.

It is the custom in converts for the
nuns to respond to knock at the door
with the words: I'm the name of God, u
the phrase being equivalent in con
venttonal parlance to our worldly
"enter" or come in.''
In convent in one of the western
cities not long since, the mother supe
rior had never-to-be-forgotten expe
rience as result of this custom. Some
one in the outer world called the con
vent telephone number by mistake
The mother superior, reused from heI
meditations, picked up the receiver
and responded mechanically: "In the
name of God"
"Madam!" called an irate masculine
voice at the other end of the wire
there is no occasion for you to swear
at me, even if have made a mistake
In the number. Profane language is
prohibited over the telephone!"

ECRETARIES to congressman take

HECRETARIES to congressman take
really more interest in what the
congressman do than the congressman
themselves. The secretaries carefully
weigh each word and act, to deter
mine what the folks back home >are

One secretary, a dyed-in-the-wool
Republican. had always boasted that
bis chief was regular of the regu-
ars. These doggoned Insurgents
would never get that congressman's
vote, you betcherlife. Well, when they
were lining up for Cannon that con-
gressman did vote with the Insur-
gents.
The secretary was plunged into
deepest gloom. He couldn't under
stand it. He treated his chief with
marked reserve for several days. He
avoided the secretaries whom he had
made his boast to. But one afternoon

The hall Of the house Office building.

"How about it, old sport?"
The unhappy secretary gave them

tions of partisan advantage, was point
ed out by Representative Poindexter
OF Washington and others as the log
ical and proper course. Under the con-
stitution the house may choose a
speaker who is not a member of the
body.
Representative Poindexter who is
one of the prominent Insurgents, said:
This initial reform which we have
accomplished must be followed by 9TH
ers. The whole trouble in which the
house finds itself. is caused by the
joining of the power of the speaker
with that Of the leader of the majority.
THE English plan of having an ex-
pert parliamentarian instead of poll
tician as presiding officer is the only
correct one. AS long as we select a
party leader as speaker, just so long
will we have partisan and unfair ru-
lings from the chair.
when the house adopted the Nor
ris resolution the other day, it was a
vote of mo confidence in Speaker Can
non, and he should have resigned. AS
ne did not do so, we should depOSe
him. With that accomplished, think
we should elect Mr.. Kinds.

would vote for it. Surely the Demo-
Gratis and the Insurgents who voted
