a local paper which is supporting
Judge Gilliland, the following appear

SOCIETY GAMBLERS WORSE
THAN WHISKY SAYS WOMAN

Seattle, Oct. 10.-More than a score
Of members of the Purity league are
touring the west investigating vice
conditions and the white slave traf-
fic. They spoke at a special meeting
of the churches yesterday. Mrs. A. S.
Sim, who styles herself a reformed
whist player, declared that society
gambling between women is doing
more injury than all of the whiskey
consumed, She said: Eighty five
per cent of the fashionable society
gamblers are church people, that is
they are members of some church.
Card playing among church members
is the beginning of the undermining
of their faith in Christianity. Other
sins follow, so by it we are betrayed"

by her remarks as regards the civic

II do not wish to come here with

wish to speak of the terrible marks
and signs that 1 see painted all over

HOMER PIGEONS KILLED
BY SHOCK OF WIRELESS

London.-Wireless telegraphy is de-
clared to be responsible for the ever
increasing loss of homing pigeons,
and experts declare that the ether
waves entirely upset the homing in
stincts of the birds. Captain Fraser,
mayor of Move, a we'll known breeder
of homing pigeons, declares his con-
viction that the increased loss of his
birds during recent years is due to
the new electrical influence.
Wireless telegraphy, he says, in
terferes with birds in flight, disturb
ing that mysterious sense determining
the direction in which they wish to
fly. 1t is possible, he adds, that the
ether may even kill the birds. Any
way, the fact remains that within
the last few years the percentage of
losses has increased from some half
dozen to 60.

Chicago, Oct 10.-Aviator Ely, at
tempting a flight from Chicago to

cended short distance and then fell
Unhurt, he set about repairing his
machine again.
He started on the record breaking
test yesterday afternoon, but remained
in the air only IL minutes. In that
time, however, he travelled II miles.
The aviator descended because of a
clogged carburetter. The repairs were
matter of a few minutes. but
in the rapidly gathering dusk Ely in
trying to again start ran the machine
upon a rock and the front running
wheel was torn away, A new wheel
was brought up and the force of me-
chanics began work while Ely went
to Geary to spend the night.
Owing to the chill of the air and a
smart northwest wind, only a small
crowd gathered at the Hawthorne
race track to see the start of the trial
which, despite the fact that a field of
eight starters originally counted on
dwindled to one, it is still the most
ambitious flight yet attempted in the
United States. Willard and Curtis
made technical starts, flying over the
race course, but as previously an
nounced, it was not their intention
to make race of it. Their machines
were quickly taken apart and ship
ped to Gary, Ind, to be ready to sup
ply any parts which Ely might need.

that the spare running wheel, needed
