SAY They CAN

LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE REP
REsENTATlvE ASSERTS THAT
GRAND JURY MATTER WILL BE
PUSHED.

Believing that there had been leaks
in the grand jury proceedings before,
and determined during the recent ses-
sion Of the body to prevent informa-
ton reaching men under suspicion, the
Law and Order league took every pre-
caution to insure secrecy. The fact
that their efforts were defeated, and
that nearly all of the men who had
been indicted upon evidence they fur
nished, escaped before being arrested,
has aroused the league to determine
tion to sift the grand jury leak matter
to the bottom.
"The Law and Order league has
every reason to be incensed at these
repeated leaks" said Attorney w. w.
Rankin this morning, "and that is the
very reason why the league has work
ed upon this case SO thoroughly. We
have our evidence in such shape now
that the guilty persons will soon be
compelled to establish their innocence
in court. We think without doubt
that we can place our finger upon the
men, and very shortly you can expect
some developments that will result in
the guilty persons being brought To

League is Responsible.

The league furnished the grand
jury with the evidence on which the
indictments were returned" continued
Mr.. Rankin, "and the testimony was
such that conviction in court would be
an easy matter. The fact is, the mat
ter was brought to the attention of the
court last Wednesday morning and
County Attorney Seneca Cornell was
advised to Immediately summon the
witnesses before the jury. The wit
nesses appeared shortly after dinner,
and at $3.50 o'clock, the grand jury was
ready to report into court. We antici-
pated leak, and were prepared for 1t.
For that reason you may expect some
definite action at any time"

A Flying Machine?

for speed or long distance flying, are
much higher in price. incidentally
the prices of aeroplanes have been
so reduced in the case of certain types
that flying is a far more inexpensive
sport than automobiling, both as re-
CARDS the initial cost of the machines
and the subsequent maintenance. To
be sure, if one intends to employ
regularly licensed aeronautical pilot
and an expert mechanician, the pas
time becomes very costly. But for
the enthusiastic aviator who purposes
driving his own machine, and who
takes enough interest in his air craft
10 groom it and keep it in repair him
self, flying is no more costly than run
ming a motor boat.
The cheapest car on the market at
present is the Demoiselle, which is
regularly listed at $1,000. This car is
the invention of Santos Dumont, and
has been successfully used by him in
short crosscountry runs 1t is just
the machine to load up with golf
clubs or guns to fly across country
to the golf links Or to join a shooting
party. 1t is the simplest as well as
the cheapest aeroplane, and is so
light that one person can readily push
it about. In the absence of a regular
aerodrome the Demoiselle may be
housed in any ordinary she'd The
machine is not capable of any very ex-
tended flights or an high speed.
The Bleriot machine, selling for
$2,40O, according to the regular cata-
logues, is the next machine in regard
to price. 1t is announced that 200
of these machines have already been
sold, which is rather more than in
the case of any other aeroplane. The
above price is for the one-place ma
chine. Bleriot machines are also be-
ing built with two and four places,
catalogued at $4,000 This is a high
grade car, equipped with e. N. V.
motors and capable of long flights at
high speed 1t is to be expected that
the cost of two or four place car
would be considerably more than for
a single seat machine.
Inc most costly of the aeroplanes
this eason is the Antoinette, running
as high as $4,000. Despite their
comparatively high price, the builders
report that ninety of their aeroplanes
have already been sold. The Voisins
aeroplane is equally popular, and al
ready more than 100 have been dis
posed of. The reports of the aero
plane manufacturers seem to indicate
that the monoplanes are rather more
popular than the biplanes. Fully two
thirds of all the aeroplanes sold this
year have been monoplanes
