CLEVELAND MAN Builds
HOUSE AROUND WIRES
He Figures tie Easier TO Do SO Than
70 Have the Elective Strings
Moved.

CLEVELAND, o., July Lieut..
Jerry Murphy, chief electrician Of the
police department, has discovered a
man who figures IT easier TO build a
house around telephone wires rather
than have the wires moved. The man
is Adolph Berkovicz.
In putting up new wires for the po-
lice department a few years ago, the
men strung the wires across a vacant
lot on e. 33d-st.. and when Berkovicf,
who owned the lot, came TO put up
new house on It, he evidently imagined
that the wires could not be moved for
any reason, and went ahead and built
around them. so that now the wires
enter the south side OF the house and
come ont the north side.

NEW YORK. July LIN the max
ing or the man bird. death has been
dared thousand times with sublime
courage; lives have been sacrificed
over and over again through the cen
turtles to an idea--to dream. Man
now flies but still the air has Its
martyrs.
There Is 30 much danger attached
to the flying game and so imperfect
are even our best aerial craft that
there IL every probability OF many
more accidents and deaths before the
vehicle OF aerial transportation Is
finally perfected, and before the aero
naut has completely mastered the In
tricacies OF it's operation and the mys-
teries Of the air.
The ancient Lucanians, wiser than
some of their successors, experiment.
ed with their criminals. Even In. those
old days they dreamed OF human
flight. Instead OF executing a danger.
GUS criminal they tied pair OF wings
or rude invention TO his body and
pushed him on tall cliff into the sea.
II he saved himself by flying. well and
good; II he didn't. the expense OF cut
always sure death.
The Romans, the Assyrians and the
Chinese, tackled the flying game CEN
turtles ago, but az no mortality tables
were issued In those days. 1t Ia use
less to speculate as to how many dead
and wounded there were when they
gave up trying to fly.
History records that sanity monk
from the priory near Stirling. Scot
land, attempted to fly along about
1910. He fixed himself up q pair Of
wings and Jumped on the top Of a cas-
tie tower. They neglected TO carve
HIS name upon the tombstone, and
thus was lost to aerial history the
name of this Scotch martyr.
A long lapse OF time In which there
was nothing doing" followed. Then

Green's famous conundrum-"A bird
can fly and why can't II" mankind
got busy at the flying game again
so did the undertaken, the casket
maker and the member OF sDlintered
bones.
The early days OF ballooning were
especially productive Of injuries and
deaths. There are recorded so many
such cases and so many instances OF
men who sailed up into the skies and
then drifted away never to be heard
OF again, that It would take a good
sized directory to chronicle their
names.
The first aeroplane martyr was LII
enthal, a German scientist, who was
thrown 20 the earth after having sue

September evening, 1906.

Is due 10 the work OF reorganizing the
American dioceses. During the last
few years the immense increase OF the
Catholic population in certain dioceses
of the United States has caused a
serious discussion at the vatican. II
finally has been decided that il is alb
solutely necessary 10 create many new
bishoprics. The complicated work OF
reorganizing the old diOceses and ad-
vising on new ones 70 be created has
been entrusted 10 Monsignor Thomas
Kennedy. rector OF the American Col
lege in Rome. II will he some time
before he is able 10 submit his report
10 Cardinal Merry Del Val the papal
secretary OF state.
Even now II may be said that within
the next year America will have sew
erai new bishops and probably a new
cardinal Whether the new cardinal
will be Ireland or Farley is In doubt.
The archbishop OF St. Paul is so
closely connected with American
ism" that his chance seems very
slight Indeed his old friends. the
Vanutellis, cannot help him much un
der the present pope.
IL Is an open secret that II Ram
polla had been chosen pope, Mgr. Ire
land would have been a cardinal long
ago Archbishop Farley is very popu-
lar In vatican circles. Under his ad-
ministration the New York diocese has
flourished as never before There
would be no question OF his having the
