bition of most of the boys in the state
reformatory, next to being paroled, Is
to play in the band
The band is always limited to %
members, and Prof Herb, its director,
stated the other day that there are
at least 30 applications on file firm
inmates who want to foot horns.
But there was one lad at the lnsti'

more OF blowing a horn than OF being
released. lie got notice that he had

Wonderful Memory.

At little dinner the other night in
the Belleme.Stratford the assertion
was made that the negro race had
longer memories than white folk, Ex'
Gov. Bum, who was present, agreed
with the remark, and to prove it told
the following:
Some years ago, when South, met
an old colored man, who claimed to
have known George Washington. |
asked him whether he was in the boat
when George Washington crossed the
Delaware, and he instantly replied:

PENALTY LONG DELAYED
Mark A. Wilkins to Be Executed for
Murder OF Vernie Carmin

Oakland, Cal, Dec. 23.-One Of the
longest legal fights ever waged In
California by a convicted murderer
to escape paying the penalty for his
crime has ended here with the re-
sentencing of Mark A. Wilkins to be
hanged In February next. wilkins
crime was the murder of VERNE Car
min. a woman who lived with him as
his wife, in November. 1907 The
woman died from poison. The crime
was committed in little cottage In
Elmhurst, near here where the couple
lived. After committing the murder
wilkins buried his victim In quick
lime in the yard back Of the house.
wilkins was tried in the early part
Of 1908. He was quickly convicted
and sentenced TO be executed in No
yember of that year. Then began a
legal battle that has established a
record for longevity In the criminal
records OF this state. Though reput-
ed to be q burglar by profession and
having long prison record, wilkins
Is well educated and Is said to come
OF a well to do family. Every step
known TO the law was employed In
the fight TO save him from the gal

tie lasting three years there now APP
pears no legal means for the con-
demned murderer TO escape the death
penalty.

TO FLY TO ENGLAND
British Aviator Here Planning for the
Feat

Feat
New York, Dec. 23.-During the
next 60 days Harry Graham Carter.
an English aviator who arrived
aboard the Anchor liner California
Monday, plans to fly from New York to
England with an all metal aeroplane.
Carter, a rosy-cheeked young man
with a pronounced British accent,
says he used to be an American IS
years ago. He has been an aviator
for three years and made a record
flight from Leicester to Lincoln and
return last June.
The young man is stopping at the
Hoffman House. His aeroplane is
still on the Anchor line pier. He is
looking for some suitable place to
erect shed in which to assemble
his craft, and to try 1t out. He has
already flown with it in England.
The aeroplane with which he hopes
to make the fight across the Atlantic
ocean is a tandem. The planes are
81 feet wide. All the framework is
made Of steel, and the wings are COW
cred with a special material which
he calls parchment. The framework
is hollow tubing, and is constructed
in such fashion that some parts can
be filled with gasoline. In this way
the aviator hopes that he may carry
the fifty gallons OF fuel necessary
without adding undue weight and
head resistance. He will also carry
sufficient food in a compartment to
last for FIVE days.
Carter hopes, however, to make the
fight in "a hours. He estimates the
distance he win fly as 2400 miles. His
craft is equipped with two SGhorse
power Astor motors. They drive
twin screw aluminium propellers The
aeroplane has maximum speed OF
80 miles an hour, and makes an aver
age OF 65 to 20 miles an hour.
Il am serious In my purpose to fly
to England" said Carter. That's
what am in America for. am con-
vinced can do 1t. If | fail I'll at
least have a good shot at It, | really
don't care what happens to me II |
don't get over. This flying game
means taking desperate chances and
| figure | might just as well take 1t
one time as another.
II plan to start about the first Of
March. I'll go from Sandy Hook and
hope to strike the British coast
about Queenstown. I'll go as straight
as the compass will let me steer. If
don't get there in two and a half
days l won't get there at all. | can
do without sleep for that length OF
time.
my motors are the best In the
world and l know they will run that
long. I've tried them out. Before
| try to fly over the ocean | will fly
100 miles from out at sea from the
deck OF the ship California to New
York. The Anchor line people have
agreed to let me try this on February

TRAIN AM6UsHED
Revolutionlsts Defeat Government
Troops in Mexico.


chihuahua, Dec. 21.-Forty-two
wounded government soldiers were
brought in yesterday thus confirming
reports that the expedition on a troop
train which left here on Saturday was
shot to pieces in a mountain trap
known as Malpaso, few miles east
of Pedernales and about 1870 miles
west of this place.
The official report states that the
Federals lost q killed. 10 missing
and AZ wounded. The wounded In
clude Col. Guzman, WHO was In COM
mand OF the expedition. The insur-
rectos' loss is not known.
The train left Chihuahua in two
sections carrying three field pieces
on a coal car and 500 soldiers. Pan.
cho villa, the bandit who while OPP
Grating independently still regards
the government as his enemy, fired
on the second section as 1t was pass
ing through Andania Canyon but did
no damage.
The mountains of Malpaso, however
swarmed with reyolutionists. They
halted the first and second sections.
Col Guzman detrained his troops and
for five hours defended himself He
was in a trap, however. His enemy
were on the heights sheltered by
boulders and other protection, and
poured in a deadly fire. He was un-
able to use his big guns effectively
owing TO the nature Of the country.
Notwithstanding his precarious con
ditIon and the numbers Of the insur-
rectos, he held his ground for five
hours. He was shot through the leg,
while the third officer in command
was wounded In the stomach
Worn out with the one sided battle
Col. Guzman loaded his dead and
wounded together with the remain
der of his force on the troop train and
ran back to Bustillos.
The passenger train which was
held up near La Junta last Thursday
has not been heard from.
Gen. Navarro has reported that the
insurgents were estimated to num-
Der as many as 1000 last Friday.

ABANDON TURBINES
New Battleshlp Texas Will Be Equip
ped with ReciProcating Engines

Washington. Dec. % LIN connec-
ton with the signing Of a contract
with the Newport News Shipbuilding
Co, for the construction of the bat
tleship Texas, it has become known
that the government has changed its
policy Of installing turbines in all new
warships. The Texas which will be
equipped with reciprocating engines,
will cost the government $500, 900,
while it has been found that 1t prob
ably would cost $1,000, 300 to $780,
600 to do the work IN the New York
Navy Yard
The decision to reject turbines,
which are shown by the largest trans
atlantic steamships to give the high
est speed, is based on the fact that
they are economical only at high
speed. For medium o. low speeds
or for manoeuyring they are not
economical, and in some cases are
not so flexible or available. In the
test with the Salem it was determin-
ed that the increased cost for fuel
for turbines over reciprocating en-
gines at cruising and manoeuvring
speeds was in all cases over 80 per
cent and in some 40 per cent.
In the meantime the Newport News
Shipbuilding company has accepted
a contract to build the Texas, sis
ter ship of the New York for $780,
600, although they would be required
to observe the eight-hour law as un-
der the last Naval Appropriation act
private yards building government
ships are required 10 obey the eight
hour law. There is a natural curl
osity to know why its costs so much
more to build a ship in the New York
yard when both yards work under the
same time schedule on identically the
same work, under the same plans and
specifications.

NEARLY BLEED TO DEATH
skull OF Workman at Bottom Of Quar-

Rutland, Dec. 23.-Michael Kear-
ney OF Clarendon Springs. an assist
ant on a channelling machine at the
Mccormack quarry. a short distance
from West Rutland, had his skull
fractured Wednesday morning and is
in a serious condition. Kearney was
at his work about 1880 o'clock when
a steam pipe, feeding the machine
which he was operating broke and
the force OF the steam, about 100
pounds pressure, swung the pipe
around, hitting him in the back Of the
head, fracturing the base OF the
skull and inflicting severe scalp
wound from which he nearly bled to
death. Kearney was employed In the
bottom OF the quarry and he was alone
In that section OF the hole. IL Is
very probable that Kearney lay on
the bottom Of the quarry several minu-
ties before he was discovered and dur
ing this time he lost big amount OF
blood
