Wenman and Crew Compelled
to Abandon Airship
RESCUE is A THRILLING OaE
Transfer of People From an Aerial
Craft to a Steamer Without
Parallel in History.

New York, Oct. 19.-Man's first at.
tempt to cross any in an airship
has failed, but Walter Wellman, five
companions and a kitten, who essayed
the voyage, are safe. The airship-
the giant America-is a battered aer
lal derelict, abandoned at sea, perhaps
still in the air, perhaps sunk beneath
the waves with her costly equipment.
When deserted she had been in the
air probably seventy-two hours, a new
worlds record for dirigibles, and,
driven by the wind, has travelled
doubtless 800 miles. Whether the dis
lance record for dirigibles-S7O miles
also will be broken remains to be
computed.
Picked up by the steamship Trent
off the North Carolina coast Wellman
and his fellow air navigators are due
in New York today.
They left their craft only because
she was in distress and blown SO far
from the line of transatlantic steam
ship travel that a continuation of the
voyage with the British isles as the
objective point was hopeless. So,
summoning aid by wireless, the diff
cult and dramatic transfer to the
Trent "a accomplished and the
America was left to the fate of the
winds.
TranSfe rred to the Steamer
For an incident without parallel in
history-the transfer of passengers
from an airship to a steamship-mea-
ger were the details obtained by wire
less. Wireless, at all times more or
less uncertain, was rendered more so
by the tropical storm which swept
northward, but wireless stations in
the vicinity of New York picked up
from the Trent a word here and a
word there, simplifying on the early
dispatches.
1t was learned that Wellman had
found it necessary to rid the airship
OF the burden of most of it's gasoline,
retaining only enough to reach land in
the event the Trent had not com to
the rescue. When the steamship
needed the calls of distress and drew
near it's aerial sister Wellman shouted
his predicament through a m%egaphone
and decided that he would lower his
1ifeboat, which swung from the diri-
gible's belly. AS a precaution the
Trent lowered her %lifeboats, which
stood by until the transfer was effect
ed and Wellman and his crew, even
down to the frightened, squirming kit
ten, were safe on board the liner, sur
rounded by the excited passengers.
The America is, or was, 2S8 feet
long and SO feet in diameter, with a
lifting capacity of 1850 pounds. The
envelope alone weighed two tons.

PASTORS HOUSE SET ON FIRE
Blind Pigsers Supposed to Be Behind
the OUTRAGE.

Following the receipt of a letter
threatening dire calamity should he
persist in the prosecution of blind
piggers" Rev, F. M. Stephenson, pas
tor Of the Methodist church of Lakota,
almost met death in a fire which
destroyed part of his home and which
evidence tends to indicate was of in
%cendiary origin. Awakened by the
smell of smoke he arose from his bed
to find the kitchen a of flames
and he just had time to awaken his
children, who were sleeping on the
second floor, and ave them from suf-
location. The door to the kitchen was
found to be wide open. AS there had
been no fire in the kitchen stove for
two weeks the conclusion is that in.
cendiaries were at work.

Paul spent a week at the sea-

And Taft? Though glad of the
election of Judge Taft's son;
though republican by honorable
descent, men propose to fight,
fight TO the death against such
treachery as Taft has disclosed,
which machine politicians, lazy
with mouths open for patronage,
are embarrassing as fast as each
black spot appears. What an in
suit to the intelligence is their
eulogy of Cannon, Aldrieh, Taft,
engaged in the betrayal of the
people-as if a criminal lawyer
were to defend Judas! How much
do they think the public will
stand? Senator Jones claiming
credit for the railroad bill for
Taft! When not single measure
was passed as the president draft
ed it! Do they think we have
forgotten in three short months
how Taft, when told at Cincinnati
that Cummins had defeated his
merger clause, the treacherous.
monopcly-pandering clause, said
truculently that deal did not set
tie the matter? The best features
of the bills passed are to be cred
tied, not to the president and the
regulars" but to the. insurgents.
But Taft is given the glory and
the insurgents are vilified for
pulling us cut OF the trusts trap
by aid of the democrats. We are
to accept the rescue but punish
the reScuers, it seems. Faugh!
Not all the tinpan party patriotism
of that convention can silence the
roar of dissatisfaction against
Taft's failure to revise the tariff
downward, to carry out the
Roosevelt policies. to grant relief
from the extortion of the trusts,
or to take some steps to relieve
the pressure from high cost of liv-
ing"

ANOTHER UNSPEAKABLE

Editor Times:
Tacoma is to be congratulated
that there was one paper, the
Times, which hit out from the
shoulder at that republican con-
vention's Irregularities, cloaked
under the aegis of party regu-
larity. If it be regular" to dis
tort facts, to swear to the oppo-
site of the truth, then the true re-
publican will repudiate such reg
ularity. There are some topics
upon which it is agreed that a
man should "lie like gentle
man." but Taft's record is not one
of them.
One need not go so far as to
say that the country will be saved
II Poindexter is elected, or lost if
Wilson be returned-for Ashton
has no chance. But, without
hysteria, it is a calm fact that if
reaction from the healthy work
of insurgency set in all over the
country this fall, if new life be
granted to standpatters. those egg
suckers of our nations vitality, a
great step forward will be lost,
and a people will find the screws
turned still tighter on them by
these legalized servants of oppres-
sive greed.
If our state do its own share
toward preventing this backward
step and elect Poindexter. as In
diana and Wisconsin will return
Beveridge and La Toilette, we will
separate ourselves from being
classed with graft-ridden Califor-
mia. Our state has long suffered
from such men as ran that con-
yention, men who assume the liv-
cry of Lincoln republicanism or
Jeffersonian democracy to serve
the devil in. They are men of
prOminence-now, because they,
have driven conscientious men
into retirement. When a Balm
ger is discovered trying to sell the
peoples domain for a song, these
men receive him with honor-re-
publicans and democrats, but not
Insurgents.

Shall We Have Women Judges
BY Judge f. b. House.
New York MapiStrate.

Most decidedly and emphatical-
ly not. l can't discuss the matter
with anything resembling a sane
tone. Do you want the whole
scheme of law and order upset in
a community? If not, you don't
want women to sit in the courts.
have never seen a woman law
yer, with perhaps one exception,
who knew exactly what she was
talking about. The trouble with
women is this: They are not made
to judge; the machinery of their
minds is not suited to it; they can
not view a subject from the point
of the law.
The woman on the bench would
be just the same as the woman
client or the woman lawyer. She
would never be capable of seeing
the law as applied to a subject,
but would turn it as she thought
1t OUGHT to apply.
Judging is a mans business be-
cause his brain is of the kind to
form judgments. Women are too
emotional and are not in the
slightest degree fitted for such
work. Sympathy is not needed.
Til ats not what a court is for. A
court is established that justice
may be dispensed. that arguments
may be settled, not that women
who have wilfully misbehaved may
have comfort and soft words.
An associate woman Judge
would be confusion worse con-
founded" The judicial machin-
cry would go to pieces like the
"one-hoss shay" but / doubt if 1t
would last as long. Such a thing
would be impossible, unthinkable,
ridiculous.
