TO MAKE TRIAL FLIGHT
Son Of Assistant Postmaster Of the
Uprivcr City Believes That
He Can Succeed
in the Air.

IT is seldom that real live airship
man ever visits Keokuk but yesterday
afternoon the city was honored BY the
presence of one of these men of the
air and one whose home has ever
heen not more than twenty-four miles
away from here.
Pete Laird. former FIT. Madison
boy, was visiting in the city yester-
day afternoon with friends and in
making his rounds reporter through
chance got an acquaintance and an in
teresting interview with Mr.. Laird
who is as much interested in flying
machines and aviation as Thomas A.
Edison is in his wizard bottles and
wires.
Seven years ago Peter Laird was
working in FIT. Madison, young fell
low. Then he decided to go west. and
grow UP with the country. Being a
mechanic he naturally applied his tai
ents along that line and for the past
several years had been connected
with the Alexander Motor Company of
Los Angeles, Cal This construction
company is one engaged in the making
Of automobiles and their parts and as
side line, they build parts for flying
machines, engines, wings and all.
Laird has made up his mind to be
an aviator and with another compan
ion is at present engaged in making
different tests of both the monoplane
and biplane.
The idea that the young men are
working on is the simple skimming
craft that children play with, the
straight stem with the scooped propel
lor or umbrella part at the end of thi:
tiny shaft From this the young
aviators hope 70 obtain their funda
mental principals for the building of {
craft that will fly through the air.

According to the census bureau at
the present time there are approx.
imately 32,936,4 communicates OF
members of all religious denomina-
tions In the United States
OF these the various Protestant
sects furnish 2O,2S7,742 and the Ro-
man Catholic church 12,679.142, For
purposes of comparison the bureau
divided the principal cities into four
classes, those having a population of
800, 600 or more, constituting the first
class; those of from 100000 to 300
600 the second class: those from
so, 600 to 100000 the third; and those
from $4,000 to $4,000 forming the
fourth class.
OF the Protestant aggregate there
were 1,47S,1 or 7.3 per cent. in the
first class cities; Al per cent, in the
second, and IA per cent. in the third
and fourth classes combined, while
S06 per cent We're found outside
of the large cities.
This shows that the number o
members Of the Roman Catholic

Der of Catholics reported was only
about a third of the number of Pro-
testants. only two of the Protestant
churches reported majority of their
membership In the principal cities
the Church of Christ Scientists, S2.6
per cent, and the Protestant Episco-
pal church 51.2 per cent. OF the to-
tai number of communicates report
ed for the largest cities by all de-
nominations, 6,307,529 or 60 per cent
belonged to the Roman Catholic
church, and S,935,341, or 374 per
cent. to Protestant churches. The
cities showing the largest proportions
of Protestant communicates are
Memphis, S4.4 per cent, Toledo, 20

In the five leading cities the pro-
portion of communicates to popula-
ton was New York, 44,7 per cent;

stated that in general, cities showing

forming an organization to boost re-

The theory was that with co-opera-

famous Arizona storage plant
The earliest rights to the use Of
water on the Rio Granue were Mex
ico's, the inhabitants of that country
having cultivated for hundred of
years extensive areas i'm the valley
by irrigation. For many years there
was AN International as well as am

to the waters of the river which at
one time threatened to affect the ami
cable relations of the two countries.
BY treaty ratified by both nations
in 1907 an adjustment of the differ
ences was affected The United
States agreed that a quantity of
water sufficient TO supply the lands
formerly irrigated in Mexico should
be permitted to pass the boundary
in return for which Mexico cancelled
the claims, which she had been pre-
senting for years on account of the
loss of valuable property.
Congress appropriated $1,000, 900
from the treasury to cover the cost
of storage for Mexico, the remaininG
cost of the project to be paid from
the reclamation fund and reimbursed
by the landowners in New Mexico
and Texas after the completion OF

REP. TAWNEY SENT
DOWN TO DEFEAT
Standpatter Who Has Served Is
Years In Congress II Beaten for Re-
nomination By Progressive.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. a.
Rep. James A. Tawney, one OF the
strongest standpatters In congress,
and the man whom President Taft up
held in his now famous Winona
speech, was defeated In the congress
sional primaries for denomination as
representative from the first Mime
sofa district. by Sydney A. Anderson,
insurgent.
o. M. Levang. campaign manager
for Anderson says today Anderson's
majority will be more than 1000.
In the fourth and ffth districts
where big fights were made the pres
ent incumbents were re-nominated.
F. G. Stevens was returned In the
fourth and Frank M. Nye was renom-
mated In the nth. Both Of these men
are considered mild progressives and
were fought by out-and-out insurgents.
The fight on Tawney, who has serv-
cd eighteen years In congress and is
chairman of the house appropriation
committee, was the warmest In the
state. Pinchot, Francis ]. Heney and
other pro8ressives spoke In behalf Of
Anderson. Tawney was the only Re
publican congressman from Minnesota
who voted for the Payne-Aldrich tarif
bill and the president upheld his
tion. At Winona, Sept. 1T, 1909
President Taft said he was glad to
speak In behalf of what Tawney did
not In defense Of 1t, but In support OF
it."
