WEATHER MAY PREVENT
ELY'S FLIGHT OVER BAY
Aviator Leaves Norfolk on the
Cruiser Hif1ningham, But
Fog Is Heavy.

NORFOLK. Va, November 14.-Rain
and fog may prevent Aviator Eugene Ely
from making his proposed aeroplane
flight from the deck of the scout cruiser
Birmingham in Chesa peake bay this
afternoon.
Reports from Cape Henry at 1:3O
o'clock were to the effect that the fog
over the lower bay was so thick that the
observer was unab BILE to see farther than
four miles from the cape The Birming-
ham. which is bound up the bay with Ely
aboard, had not been sighted from the
cape. A light rain was falling, but the
clouds had begun to break away, and
there were some prospects of clearing
weather.
The Birmingham sailed from the navy
yard with Ely on board at 11:30 am.
The flight, If made, probably will not be-
gin until late hour this afternoon. Naval
officials and others will follow Elys flight
aboard torpedo boat destroyers, which are
accompanying the Birmingham up the
bay. /.

weeks the 1,1OO teams of the Adams,
Wells-Fargo, United States and American

hampered in all directions about Man
haitian, Brooklyn, Jersey City and Ho-

freight express packages was being re-
lieved.
When the drivers, helpers and other
employees of the express companies who
have been striking reported for duty at
the usual hour the company officials OBJ
jected at first to the wearing of the union
button. The expressmen explained, how
ever, that If they did not wear the but
tons they would be taken for strikebreak-

other unions, and that trouble undoubt-

DISTRICT MAN WILL HEAD
INSURANCE Department
This Much Assured, But Com.
missioners Unable to Agree
Upon Candidate.

A District Of Columbia man will be
made superintendent Of insurance when
the appointment is finally announced by
the Commissioners, but beyond that there
Is nothing definite on the subject. The
three Commissioners have been deba ting
this appointment for months, and during
not one single minute of that time have
they been able to agree on any one man..
The department of insurance is assigned
to Commissioner Rudolph, and he is sup
posed to have a candidate he would like
to see appointed. Gossip about the Dis
trict building is to the effect that each
of the other Commissioners has a candi-
date also, and that each is strongly i'm
pressed by the qualifications of his own
selection.
Curry Acting Superintendent.
The department is now in charge of
intendent since the death of Thomas Il.
Drake last summer. Mr.. Curry has been
an examiner in the insurance department
since July 26. 1902. He is one of the three
men now In the. service of the District
government who are distinctly in the run
ming for the Office. The other two are
George w. Ingham, statistician in the
insurance department, who has been
there since July 1, 1903. and Daniel j.
Donovan, now deputy auditor of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. If the appointment Is
made from men already in the District
government 1t is almost assured that one
of these three will be the choice
However, the belief Is very strong that
each of the three Commissioners has one
Of these men as choice Of those already
i'll the service, but none of the Commits
sioners will verify it or speak Of 1t in
any way. 1t is also assured that il a
man in the service now measures up to
the standard required in the Office of su-
perintendent of insurance he will be ap-
pointed. provided the three Commission
ers can agree. If not. then the appoint
ment will probably fall to the lot of
some one of the applicants from the in
surance business. The Office pays 5000
a year.
