work until he had the satisfaction Of
seeing the Government recover this huge
amount of money. and put nearly a

the prospects Of landing several others

great enough to serve as a conspicuous
example 10 others in the Government
service that honesty and devotion TO

is entirely in the hands Of Secretary
MacVeagh who however, viii consult
with President Taft. II is known that
the Secretary is inclined TO deal literally
with Parr.
There is a law which gives TO an IN
formant in customs cases one-quarter
Of the amount which the Government
RECEIVERS. Treasury officials say, how
ever, that this applies only in smuggling
cases 1t IS also said that the Secretary
NAV make the amount anywhere from
; cents upward. PARIS claim Is for one
quarter Of the amount recovered. but II
is not believed the Secretary viii admit
this. It is considered probable, how
ever. that Parr VIII receive enough to
give him a comfortable competence for
the remainder o. his life.

Mrs. CobUrn, who pOrtrays Rosalind

the most conservative dramatic critics
in the country. Mr.. CObuEn as Orlando

of Charles X Hamilton that he would

AVIATORS BARRED
FROM INSURANCE

NEW YORK, June S.-Although there
has been comparative freedom from ac-
cidents to the many men now navigating
the air in balloons and aerOplanes and
other devices, for q time at least they
VIII have to go without life or accident
insurance
From ST. Louis yesterday there came a
report in which the agent Of an Eastern
accident insurance company was quoted
as saying that the company he repre-
sented was prepared TO issue premiums
on the lives of aerial navigators. This
agent declared the records of aerialists
thus far, and particularly in the last few
months. when long and successful flights
have been made, proved to the COM
panies that bird men were not such
bad risks after all
Managers Of life and accident insur-
ance companies in New York laughed al
the idea yesterday.
1T is absurd to think that we would
write a policy on the life Of any Of these
men," said an officer of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company. such men come
under the head of aerOnautic inventors
and are absolutely barred from partici-
patton in the benefits of life insurance
We would not insure them for any pre-
MUM
Accident insurance companies took
practically the same attitude. One OF
the officers of the North American Ac.
Cident Insurance Company said:
Men following such dangerous pur'
suits cannot possibly get accident insur
ance. There are men in vacations far
less risky who cannot get insurance
against accident If there is anything
more risky than flying in a machine
several hundred feet above the earth
do not know OF it. There is little pros

TWO-MOTOR AIRSHIP
PROPOSED BY GOULD

aerOplanes should be equipped with re
serve power as are steamships and
electric trains. Edwin II. Gould offers
a prize Of $1,000 for the first success
full flight in an aeroplane with two
motors and two sets Of propellers-
That Mr.. Gould would offer this prize
was made known last night by J. Bern
and Walker. Of the Scientific American.
at the Press Clubs dinner in honor
of Glenn II. Curtiss. Mr. Walkers an
nouncement came as a great surprise
and was greeted with loud cheering.
Nfr. Walker explained that Mr.. Gould
considers the double motor aero as the
only one Of any practicability. He
argues that If one motor gives out the
reserve one can be used to advantage.
Speeches were made at the dinner by
Glenn H Curtiss. Clifford B. Harmon,
and Lieutenant Humphreys.

PROTEST ENTERED
ON COAL CONTRACT
White Oak Company Demands
Hearing, to Present Objec-
tons to Award.

Protest has been made by the White
Oak Coal Company TO the Commits
sioners against the award Of a con
tract TO the Edward J. Chapman Com
pany to furnish bituminous coal to
the sewage pumping station for the
next fiscal year.
The White Oak Company contends
that its bid OF S3-17 a ton for 1000
tons was 1 cent cheaper a ton than
the proposal Of the successful bidder,
and because Of that fact a public
hearing has been asked at which 10
formally protest and 10 endeavOr TO
convince the Commissioners that It
should have received the contract.
The Chapman Company was award
ed the contract because the committee
on awards deemed its coal to have the
highest steaming power, and that II
would prove more economical in the
end than the White Oak product, II is
said.

for every moth he would kill in the

Jake, George and Louis. In course Of

the other children collected from her
at intervals from 10 to 25 cents. Pierre
drew on her frequently for a 81 ut a

One of the greatest trials visitor in
Finland has to endure is Il Finnish
bath. The method Of procedure is
unique. Divested Of outer clothing
and attired In a light and airy cot
ton garment, you are slung in IA sort
of hammock composed of cord above
large receptacle like the boilers in
public laundries. This is almost filed
with cold water, into which at the
right moment Is flung large redhot
brick or piece of iron. which Of course
causes an overwhelming rush of steam
to ascend and almost choke you,
Then when that process has gone on
sufficiently long you are shaken out
of your hammock, immersed in cold
water, and after very drastic treat
ment you resume your raiment. sad
