more than a century he has been able
to float In it, but at the caprice OF
its currents. With the aeroplane his
invasion has been more aggressive than
with the balloon. But the question Is;
How complete is his victory to be?
Here is how the birds view the prob
lem as it stands:
BY, Orville Wright: "At the present
time believe the aeroplane to be Of
great practical use for military scout
ing or maneuvers and also as sport
ing device. In regard to the practical
uses of the aeropfane in the future.
1t will not be many years. l believe,
until it will be practicable for de-
livering mails in isolated places, also
believe 1t will displace special trains
In time The aeroplane will have the
advantages over special trains mas
much as it will always have a clear
track The aeroplane also will be ready
for passenger traffic whenever there
Is a demand for It."

be made which will go faster and re-

it's uses in war the aeroplane will soon

The excessive interest of the church
in foreign missions has, of course, led
to neglect of the home missionary
field. The Congregational denomination
has fecn enc of the chief sinners in
this respect. The worst of the sin
is not that home needs have been neg

FATALLY INJURED, URGES
WOMEN Be TAKEN AWAY
SWitchman Coupling Cars Caught
Between Platform and Car
and Dies

NEW YORK, July Awhile police
men and others struggled to release
him. Charles Rose, a switchman of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit line, who
had been caught between the station
platform at Canarasie and the side of
a train, disregarded his own mortal
injuries to urge the onlookers to take
the women away from the spectacle
of his sufferings.
Don't take it so hard, people. I'm
not suffering much, and take those
ladies over there away This is no
place for ladies'" he said to those who
were struggling to release him. Rose
was coupling another car into the train
when the train suddenly moved ahead.
AS he turned to adjust the air brakes
the car platform hit him. He was
caught by the side OF the car and
twisted round and round in the four
inches of space between the side of the
car and the platform.
The accident was seen by hundreds
of men, women and children out for a
Sunday airing, and their cries caused
the train to be stopped within seventy
five feet. BY this time Rose. with
lust his head and shoulders exposed,
was pinned half way by the platform
of the last car. He died soon after
reaching the hospital.

CHIEF JUSTICES DEATH
SHOCKS PRESIDENT TAFT
Executive Refuses to Discuss
the Question of Sue
ceSSion

SOMERVILLE, Mass, July 4.-Pres-
ident Taft was seated in the big grand
stand on Highland avenue, reviewing
the independence day parade, when
the news of the death of Chief Justice
Fuller was conveyed to him.
"I am greatly shocked and grieVed,'
he said. "at the death of Chief Justice
Fuller, for whom 1 had formed a warm
attachment"
The president refused to comment on
what action he would take.
The president spoke later in the day
at greater length on the death Oh
Chief Justice Fuller. He said:
Il learn of Justice Fuller's death
with great regret. He was an old
friend and a great judge. 1 had known
him since 1890, when L was solicitor
general, and our relations were always
those of intimate friends. l had the
highest respect for his legal ability,
and his death is a great shock"
Although the president would not
discuss the question of a successor,
there is a strong impression among
those close to the executive that Gov
ernor Hughes of New York will be
the next presiding justice of the
supreme court of the United States.
The death of Chief Justice Fuller
means that the Standard Oil and
Tobacco cases will not be reargued
until next December. President Taft
will make no selection of justice
until after congress meets.

SAILOR WITH BERI-BERI
MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY
Neither Great Britain or United
States Want Alfred Amund-
sen, Who Is III

NEW YORK, July 4-Alfred Amund-
sen, said to be a relative of Ronald
Amundsen, the Norwegian Arctic ex-
plorer, is man without a country. To
make matters worse, Amundsen, who
is a sailor, is suffering from beri-beri,
and the immigration officers of Great
Britain and the United States have
been shunting him back and forth be-
tween this port and BarbardOs. A spe-
cial board of inquiry will now take up
his case. Amundsen says he was born
in Boston in 1877, but there is no rec
ord of it, and his parents took him to
Norway when he was years odd. He
lived there until he was A. when he
ran away to sea. He contracted beri-
beri on shipboard and was taken to
hospital in Barbados. There it was
learned he was a citizen of this coun-
try and he was sent to New York.
He reached this port May % and
was taken to Ellis island. But he could
not prove his birth in Boston, so he
was taken back to Barbados. There
he was told he must either pay his
way or go back to New York. SO he
came back. He is willing to go back
to Norway but perhaps Norway also
will not let him land.

MANY NAMES MENTIONED
AS FULLER'S SUCCESSOR

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The death
of Chief Justice Fuller results in an
almost unprecedented situation as to
vacancies on the bench. Should JUS
tice Moody accept the terms of special
legislation enacted by congress this
summer and retire on full pay there
will be three vacancies until Governor
Hughes takes the oath of office.
Governor Hughes Is expected to take
the oath in October, succeeding Justice
Brewer. The way has been prepared
for the retirement of Justice Moody.
The death of the chief justice calls
for the selection of still another mem
ber. With these three vacancies the
serious illness and death of another
member of the court would bring its
work absolutely to a standstill until
Hughes is seated upon the bench, six
justices constituting a quorum neces-
sary for the transaction of business.
Politically, the death of Justice Full
Ter will have an important significance.
Chief Justice Fuller was a lifelong
Democrat First a Democratic editor,
he was elected to office as a Democrat,
was a delegate to several Democratic
national conventions, and finally was
appointed to the bench as Democrat.
All the precedents call for the appoint
ment of a chief justice of the same po-
ltical party as the president. In fact,
only TWO associate JUSTICES Oh OppOSllc
politics from that of the president have
been appointed to the bench-Justice
Jackson and Justice Lurton.
Two names were mentioned with
some frequency today as the success
sors Of Chief Justice Fuller. They
were those of Governor Hughes, just
nominated as an associate justice, and
Solicitor General Bowers. The names
of several men already on the bench
were spoken of in this connection, and
suggestion was made that the presi-
dent might overtake the custom against
promoting an associate justice to the
chief justiceship.
Other names were suggested for
seats on the bench. Among these were
those of Attorney General Wickersham,
Secretary Dickinson, Judge Sanborn of
St. Paul, Judge Vandeventer of Chey-
enne, Wyo.; Judge Hook Of Leaven-
worth, Kan; Judge Adams of st.
Louis, Henry M. Hoyt of the state de-
partment, Louis Marshall of Cincin-
natl and Chief Justice Deemer of the
Iowa supreme court.
AS the death of Chief Justice Fuller
will leave only two Democrats on the
bench it was suggested that President
Taft might name a Democrat to sue
ceed Justice Moody. This probably
would enlarge the field from which he
must select his timber.

SOUTH AMERICA SENDS
ITS MEAT To EUROPE
J. Ogden Armour Thinks that
Hogs Never Again Will Be
Ten Dollars

CHICAGO, July Al. Ogden Arm
our, the packer who returned yester-
day from n two months trip to Eu-
rope, does not believe that this coun-
try will see $50 hogs" again. Speak
ing of meat prices. he said:
IF the west reaps the bountiful
corn, wheat and oat crop this year
we may hope for lower prices. The
crop problem will have a big effect on
the price of meats. If the crop of
grain is short, the supply of cattle and
hogs will be short. | have been away
for eight weeks and know nothing
concerning crop conditions or the
present cattle and hog supply except
from the general view I have gained
from newspapers. l don't believe the
country will see $40 hogs again. Such
prices are possible, however. Hogs
normally should range around 49, II
the supply is good, it is possible they
should be priced under that figure.
Meat export business from the
United States to England and Europe
is dead" continued Mr. Armour.
South America is furnishing the meat
that Europe consumes. This country
cannot compete successfully with the
country south of the equator. Cattle
conditions there are as they were in
the west twenty-five years ago Cattle
can be raised cheaper, and as ship
transportation costs but little If any
more than from the United States they
can be marketed at a much lower
price.
LAS a cattle producer, South Ameri-
ca is rapidly outdistancing the United
States. The class of cattle is not as
good, but the meat is good, and that
is what Europe wants."

JUSTICE WAS WILLING
WORKER AND RUGGED

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Although
the oldest man on the bench by several
months, Chief Justice Fuller had not
been absent on account of illness for
years.
Not only did Justice Fuller perform
his proportion of the increased labors
due to there being eight, and part of
the term only seven, members of the
bench, but he accepted willingly other
work for mankind.
one of his most important tasks dur
ing the last few months of his life was
as arbiter in the boundary dispute be-
tween Costa Rica and Panama.
Aside from the grief over the death
of the famous chief justice. regret
was heard on every side that the coun-
try, was to be deprived of his services
just>at the time when many important
eases were to be passed upon.
Among these were the dissolution
proceedings under the Sherman anti
trust act against the Standard OIL
company the tobacco corporations and
the corporation tax cases involving the
question of the constitutionality of

BALTIC WITH HOLE IN
BOW IS SAFE IN PORT
Captain and Officers Quieted
Fears of Passengers

NEW YORK July 4.-With a six
foot hole in her side the White Star
liner Baltic docked today, while her
passengers hurried ashore and con-
graduated themselves on their escape
from what might have been a fearful
midsea disaster.
The big Baltic in the black of night
last Thursday jammed into the oil
tank steamer Standard bound from
Philadelphia to Copenhagen. The shock
of the impact aroused the sleeping pas
sengers, who hurried to the decks in
grave apprehension AS the Baltic lay
rolling in swelling sea and the water
swashed into the Jagged wound in her
bow, Captain Ransom and his officers
went among the passengers and quieted
them.
No help was asked for by the oil
tank, which drifted off and disappeared
in the mist.
A patch was placed over the hole in
the Baltics bow. A seaman was re-
ported missing after the accident, and
it was feared he was knocked over
board by the impact
