DOZIER ILL AND RUFF

Good Faith of Defendants Law

Ace Ruef, the convicted bride giver,
yesterday procured another weeks de-
lay IN the consideration of Assistant
District Attorney Berrys motion to
have him recommitted to the county
Jail pending determination Of his ap-
peal. Judge Lawlor had directed that
Ruef produce medical testimony as TO
his physical condition, but when court
met George keane, one of his attor-
neys. pleaded for a continuance on the
ground that Attorney Thomas B. Dozier

Berry Immediately questioned the
good faith in which the application
was made, and intimated that he
would have 10 be shown" that Dozier
was not in physical condition to appear

Judge Lawlor ordered a continuance

showing, and at o'clock a certificate
from the family physician Of the law

throat of Ruefs attorney was in such
condition that he could not with safety
appear in court for eight or ten days.
Inasmuch as Ruef is himself lew

was the writer's privilege to witness
the finish, and as the strange new craft
emerged from the mists and flew
straight across the water until taking
the long glide to the landing on Gov
errors island he felt that he had been
permitted to look upon the dim begin
nings Of new age.
TO Put America In the Lead.
1t is possible. of course. that not all
of these other projected flights will
take place, but enough of them will be
pulled off to raise American interest in
aviation to fever heat. This is the OBJ
ject of the prizes. With the remarka-
bic aerOnautic achievements recently
recorded in England and France it was
felt that America, which gave birth to
the aerOplane, should not lag behind.
The proposed contests will put her in
the lead, where she belongs. 1t should
be matter Of pride to members of the
press that their own craft has been in
strumental in bringing these results to
pass. Practically all Of these prizes
have been given directly by newspa-
pers or through their mediumship. 1t
is peculiarly appropriate that the press,
which is so distinctively a product of
the present age, should thus advance
the transportation of the future. If
the newspaper stands for anything it
is progress. and the aerOplane is about
the most progressive thing the hand of
man has yet fashioned. 1t has in 1t
possibilities not only Of a new. pleas
urable and swift method of travel, but
of world peace and world brotherhood.
Future of the Aeroplane.
1t is not given to the pioneer to see
the multitudes that will follow in his
footsteps nor to the discoverer to fore
tell the nations that will be reared
upon his new found domains. Neither
is it vouchsafed the inventor to know
the future uses or development of the
contrivance which he fashions. Gu

gee. Various cities along the different
routes wired that each would raise a
fund to have the aviators stop at that
particular town en- route. An offer Of
5000 was made for an Indianapolis

proposal of triangular course en-
bracing Indianapolis, Chicago and st.

In the midst Of all this prize offer
ing activity came the news that the
New York Times and the Philadelphia
Public Ledger had arranged for
Charles K. Hamilton, the diminutive.
nervy and red headed aviator who had
been putting over such thrillers at Min

phia and back again The machine to
be used was that in which Glenn III.
Curtiss had won the worlds prize at

Governors island and follow the Penn

plane was substituted. Then at 1856
Hamilton got away, flying high
through the fog straight across New
York bay toward Elizabeth. There
the New York Times special train was
picked up and race was begun such
as New Jersey had never witnessed be-
fore. Amid screeching whistles and
cheering crowds that lined the Penn
sylvania tracks all the way between
the two great cities the bird man
and the flying locomotive made their
way. The run down was exactly on

fifty minutes. At Philadelphia letters
were delivered from Governor Hughes
to Governor Stuart, from Mayor Gay

gifted with knowledge of what will be
made Of the toy he has created.
Wilbur Wright, who is perhaps the
man entitled to that badge of immor-
tally, is most modest in his predic-
lions and says he believes the chief
use of the aeroplane will be for military
observations Glenn III. Curtiss takes
an opposite slant and thinks it will be
the means of ending war. Who knows
what it will be? The wonder is that
1t has been invented at all, but, having
been invented, who shall set limits
to what improvements the future man
may give to it? Why may it not be
as radically and swiftly developed
and advanced as the ship. the rail
road train or the automobile? In the
days of Columbus and his toy sail
ing vessels the crossing of the Allan
tic was a perilous undertaking. To
day it is a weeks outing with hotel

Beginnings Of Mighty Things.
The inventor is not necessarily a
prophet. nor is it essential that he
should be one. 1t is enough for him to
do the trick and let the future take care
Of itself. The idea is his, but the mo-
ment he give; " rance to that idea
whether that xpression be in the form
of word or of a machine, it belongs
to mankind, and if it be good mankind
will use 1t and improve it to the utter
most. The aerOplane now belongs to
the human race, and that the human
race is about to do marvellous things
with it is attested by this very fever
of prize giving for cross country
flights. With all due respect, it is not
for Mr.. Wilbur Wright to deny the
future greatness of his own invention.
Imagination is a necessary part of the
worlds mental equipment. While it
may go beyond the mark, it as often
falls lamentably short Of it. AS no
one in Franklin's day could even guess
the coming wonders Of electricity, so
no one now living perhaps has the
faintest conception of what the inven-
ton of the aerOplane means to the fu-
ture of humanity. Leave US our imagi-
nations, for few things in this matter
of fact world have so appealed to them
as the feats of these man birds. We
have a right to feel that we are in the
beginnings of mighty things.
America saw Franklin fly his kite,
Hudson navigate his first steamboat
Morse send his first message and Edi-
son light his first electric bulb. Amer
lea likewise is to see these aerOplane
contests on courses that spread out
like a spiders web from her metropo-
lis. They cannot be less than epoch
making. The inventive genius Of the
country was never more alive than
now. Stimulated as these races must
stimulate it, the improvements it will
give to the aeroplane should be as re-
markable as the invention itself. The
| first forms of all machines are crude.
With the start that has been made
and with the whole cOuntry-and the
| whole world as well-at work solving
| the problem of aerial travel, the reyo-
luton should be accomplished in a
lifetime. Even if Wilbur Wright will
| not dream day dreams, there is moth
ing to prevent the rest of us from
doing it.
Three Big Races Assured.

Three Big Races Assured.

August has been suggested for some
of these races, and all of them that
materialize probably will take place
during the present summer or autumn.
The one now most talked of is that
from Chicago to New York, which the
Wright brothers have pronounced en-
tirely feasible and which they and
many other famous aviators. including
CurtisS and Hamilton, have promised
to enter either in person or with their
machines.
1t will be a memora BILE day when a
flock Of aeroplanes shall fly from New
York to Chicago or from New York to
st. Louis. 1t is possible that the
courses will be set in the opposite di-
rection, as Orville Wright has sug-
gested that the prevailing winds are
from the west. But whether the start
ing points are the western cities or
