THE TRAGIC END OF A OAR
ING AVIATOR.

A wave of sincere regret goes over
the world at the announcement that
the daring young Peruvian, George
Chavez, who succeeded in flying across
the Alps, has suceumbed to the in
juries he sustained when his machine
plunged TO the earth.
The tragedy in which his record
breaking feat eliminated viii contrib
ute IN no small degree toward the
glamour which VIII rest upon his name
in the years TO come. In forty min
Utes he sped over the great barrier
which had obstTucte1 the army of
Napoleon for three days and had Civ
en- Hannibal the trial Of his career It
was an achievement which appealed
strongly to the imagination of every
aviator, though Chavez alone had the
courage TO make a determined effort
The chances IN favor Of a fatal out
come were more than even, and, strip
ped Of all its spectacular attributes,
the question viii arise whether the
hazard was worth while II has shown
how much the spirit OF man may dare,
but 1t has not added anything to the
science Of aviation Such experiments,
so far as practical results are con
cerned, might have been made on less
dangerous ground

AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
THAT DOES THINGS.

The Alumni Association OF the Bust
ness Hich School has set a good ex-
ample for other societies Of the same
character. Its excuse for existence Is
not limited to the business Of holding
an annual banquet, however delightful
that typical function Of the alumnus
may be It spends the greater portion
OF its energies looking after the ma
teriaI interests of its members
For several years the association
has maintained a cooperative employ
ment bureau for the benefit Of grad
yates OF the school, and 1t has Just
established a class in shorthand die
tation, to assist its members to be-
come proficient IN stenograPhy- Those
who so desire may attend the meet
ings OF the class, which viii be held
three evenings each week in room
in the Business High School
The very fact that the graduates
of the Business High School display
such practical, common sense IN help
ing each other TO business success
shows that the institution is fulfilling
the purpose for which 1t was estab
lished-that Of making valuable citi-
zens OF the young men and young
women who have gone forth from its
doors

RESULTS OF THE NORVAL 7.
HARRIS INQUEST.

Evidence thus far adduced at the
Norval T Harris inquest establishes
beyond dispute that the coroner and
the police were at least hasty in ar
irving at their original decision that
Harris killed himself.
Since the necessity OF holding an
inquest has been pointed out by The
Times, and since the official inquiry
has been started, Coroner hewitt has
demonstrated a cOmmendable desire to
have a thorough investigation That
this was demanded by the many I'm
explained and conflicting pieces OF evi-
dence bearing on the case has been
definitely shown 1t has not been
proved that Harris was murdered, but
sufficient evidence has been brought
forth to demonstrate that in the very
beginning, as maintained all along by
The Times, there was doubt as TO the
manner in which Harris met his death,
and that an inquest should have been
ordered Immediately, for the purpose
OF clearing up the mystery, of remov-
ing the stigma of suicide from the
Young mans name, and of turning the
machinery OF the law toward the dis
coverv and prosecution Of his murder
er or murderers if he met foul play.
The eoroner's and detectives theory
Is that Harris killed himself about mid
night or a little before on August p.
Witnesses have testified that they heard
a pistol shot about that time On the
other hand three people have testified
that they passed over or near the spot
where Harris body was found after
the time when the shot was heard,
and that they saw no body. The
place where the body was later dis
covered was well lighted all night
The character Of the wound which
caused Harris death IS such that
there Is doubt whether it could
have been self-inficted. When the
BODY was found the arms were lying
straight alongside the trunk
No revolver was found near the
bod
The pistol which the detectives say
was the property Of Harris has not
been identified as his.
Harris hat was found about one
foot away from his head, and was
spotted with blood.
Relatives and friends OF Harris tes-
tifv that the mental condition Of the
Young man was not such as to indi-
cate morbidness, OF any intention to
take his own life. On the contrary,
the testimony shows that Harris was
in a cheerful frame OF mind during
the few days Immediately preceding
his death.
Another significant line Of evidence
Is that which shows the neighbOrhOOd
in which Harris body was found to
be dangerous
It Is manifest that the information
brought out at the inquest casts grave
doubt on the suicide theory advanced
by the detectives

THE RIGHT TO DRESS IN THE
STREETS.

It has been judicially decided that a
woman has a perfect right to put on
her gloves between the front door and

bound TO exercise special diligence in
looking out for distractions along the
way while engaged IN her distinctly
feminine occupation
The issue has been decided by the
supreme court of Louisiana, and would
seem to impose special obligation
upon the city authorities to keep the
streets and sidewalks clear to such
an extent that in case a woman, thus
