W|NK|NG OF MORSE LIGHT
Followed by Wireless Mes sages From a Ship in the Air-The Aerial Voyager Will Make Another At tempt on the Atlantic.

New York, Oct 19.-Walter We'll man and his five companions were landed here this afternoon by the steamship Trent The bruised right hand, which Wellman carried in a sling, was the only physical injury that resulted from their long voyage of approximately 900 miles.
 None of the aeronauts expressed re- gret for the loss of the America. They agreed that it had served its purpose All stand ready to renew the attempt as soon as Wellman and his engineers md way to conquer the difficulties that brought their first trip to it's thrilling end.
 On the Trent, Wellman made this statement: We thought we couId not get along without the equilibrator Now we find we could not get along with it. Our plans for the future are indefinite until we find something that will do what we thought the equilibrator would do"
 The other members of the America's crew said they felt as well as ever. and looked it. They are: Melvin Vaniman, engineer; J. Murry Sim mons, navigator; J. K. Irwin, wireless operator. and Albert L. Loud and John Aubert, air sailors; also the gray kit ten, whose sides were bulging, it hay ing been overfed by the women pas sengers.
 It was a Morse lamp win5ing its message through the darkness on Tuesday morning that first attracted the of Trent to the distressed airship. Stan ley Angel, ordinary seaman, saw the signal. The outline of the airship was made against the moonlit sky. and Captain Down was called out of his berth
 Help, helpi" was the message the white electric lamp on the America was signalling the steamer. Then the wireless was called into use and be- tween Louis M. Ginsberg. the opera tor on the Trent, and Jack K Irwin the operator in the lifeboat suspended below the gas chamber of the Amer ica. passed a series of messages that will stand in history as the first wire less communication between a ship at sea and a ship in the air
 Chief Engineer Vaniman does not wholly agree with Wellman in the lessons to be drawn from the adven- ture. In particular he does not lay the blame for defeat on .he equilibra- tor, which was his invention. but in stead on the failure of one of the engines.
 Without the equilibrator," he said, it would be impossible to cross the Atlantic. The equilibrator was not a complete success, but it was far from a failure. The trouble was, it was too heavy for the balloon and the power we had. If the other motor had worked. we might have seen an- other result"

 i TERRIBLE THIRD DEGREE
The Woman Continuously Questioned for Twenty
 Four Hours-Begging to Be Allowed to Sleep - Other Arrests Expected.

Los Angeles, Oct. 19.-"You may keep me in this coop a hundred years but you cannot get any more out. of me, Tor l have told everything I know" This was all a three-hour ad- ministration of the third degree could elicit today from Mrs. Belle Lavin. the lodging house keeper arrested yes- terday in San Francisco on a warrant charglng murder in connection with the Los Angeles Times disaster.
 Mrs. Lavin will be arraigned tonor- row. according to an announcement made tonight from the district attor- neys office. The woman will then be given an opportunity to retain an at torney if she desires one Until that time she will be held strictly in comunicadO.' So far Mrs. Lavin has not been allowed to see anyone. She is more closely guarded than any pris- oner has been in the county jail for years.
 Ceaseless questioning of the wom- an has kept her awake ever since her arrest more than twenty four hours ago. This was learned tonight when the jail attendants said that before the ordeal of the examination was ended she was begging to be allowed to go to sleep.
 The police officials said tonight that the arrest of one or more of the alleged cOnspirators in this city was expected in a few hours. At the same time it was also stated that another arrest would probably be made in San Francisco before tomorrow night

PIGS IS PIGS'
 IN SUPREME COURT
IN CONTEST OVER THE CARMACK
 AMENDMENT.
The Story Cited to Show the Need of
 Legislation for the Shipper.

Washington, Oct. 19.-"Pigs is pigs. a humorous story published a few years ago, was referred to today in the supreme court of the United States by the government as an authority" for its argument in defense of the consti- nationality of the so-called Carmack amendment to the Hepburn rate law.
 The amendment makes the initial carrier of interstate commerce liable for damages to or loss of freight during transportation, not only on it's own line, but upon the lines of connecting carriers. It also prohibits contracts re- leasing carriers from this liability.
 The story of the delay in the trans portation of guinea pigs until at last the attention of the officials of the road was required to care for the descen- dants of the original consignment, was cited to illustrate the public need of legislation making it easier for a ship per to recover for loss of property or damages inflicted upon it. The argu- ment for the government was made by William S. Kenyon, assistant attorney general.
 While it is practically impossible for shipper to locate place loss," said Kenyon. it is within the carriers knowledge and easy for him to do so."
 Joseph R. Lamar of Augusta. Ga, counsel for the Atlantic Coast line, contended that the amendment inter fered with the liberty of contract The shipper who might desire. to accept a lower rate in lieu of an exemption to the carrier from liability could not do so.
 Justice White suggested that this very limitation might be a reason of public policy to sustain the law

The Subcommittee HopeIessIy Divided
 on That Subject.

Santa Fe., N. NJ, oct. 19.-Because the subcommittee on legislative de- partments is hopelessly divided on the question of the initiative and referen- dunn, the subcommittee report to the constitutional convention will not refer to it except to ask that it be considered by the convention as a whole.

 The subcommittee on legislative de- partments has decided that the legisla- tive power shall be vested in a senate and house of representatives, the for mer to consist Of 24 members and the latter of 49. The pay of senators shall be s5 per diem and of representatives $4 per diem.

New York, Oct. 19.-The needless the death today of John Moissant, the aviator, while trying a new Bleriot monoplane at Belmont park. He fell 125 feet, wrecked the machine be- yond repair, but picked himself up out of the dust unhurt and was just about ready to fly a mile to his anxious wife in another monoplane when she rushed to the field in an automobile.
 Are you hurt?" she stammered.
 Why, no; nobody ever get hurt fly ing" answered Moissant Tt was my fault for removing my feet from the rudder."
 The monoplane swooped sideways like wounded bird. dived 125 feet to the ground. struck on the right wing and turned over. Nobody thought Moissant would be taken out alive, but he was uninjured. The left wing broke his fall. and he slid easily from his seat to the ground.
 Hamilton's freak 0-horsepower bi- plane, which was on the ground in readiness for a flight, was partly wrecked in a crash with Dr. H. W. Waldron's monoplane. G. M. Dyott, Waldron's partner. who was driving the monoplane, lost control of the craft and crashed into the stationary bi-plane. which was surrounded by crowd of spectators. No one was hurt.

PROPOSITIONS ARE POURING IN, IN A FLO0O|

stated yesterday morning that in the afternoon the proposition by mem Der of the Yuma delegation looking to the division of Maricopa county would be presented in the afternoon but it was not forthcoming.
 There is a good deal of conjecture as to the fate of the state wide pro hibition and woman suffrage propo- sitions which have been put forward for separate submission. Those who have quietly canvassed the members of the convention are of the, belief that neither of them will be sub mitted. The delegates from this county are committed to both meas ures but the majority of the outside members are said to be overwhelm- ingly against them.

He Believes That Indictments Will
 Quickly Follow.

San Francisco. Oct. 19-with the assurance of evidence, in the possession of detectives tending to connect Mrs. Lavin with the Times explosion, of the most substantial nature and that otherwise the charge placed against her would not be murder. Attorney Earl Rogers. who has been in charge of the local end of the investigation, left tonight for the southern city
 Rogers said the evidence was so strong that he would seek to secure the impanelment of a special grand jury on his arrival at Los Angeles, and he had no doubt that indictments would follow.

Paper and Will Devote Entire
Time to Clerks Office.
FINNERN & vosGERAU BUY SAME
Will Take Possession January 1st-
Mr.. Vosgerau in Full Charge
Until Arrival of Mr.. Finnern.

Frank Faul closed deal last Sat
urday whereby he sells his paper,
The Crawford County Demokrat, to
Messrs. Henry Finnern and Otto Vos-
gerau, two young printers who have
learned their trades in Deniscn.
Possession will be taken by the new
owners on January 1st, but Mr.. Faul
will do the editing until the arrival
of Mr.. Finnern, who runs German
paper at Waterloo, and of which he
expects to make disposal before COM
ing here permanently. Thus after
over 25 years of newspaper work in
Denison Mr.. Faul retires and will de-
vote his entire attention to conducting
the affairs OF the county clerks Office.
The new proprietors are not strang-
ers to Denison people, both gentle
men learned their trades in the news
paper offices of Denison. For the past
few years Mr.. Finnern has been ed
itor and proprietor of German paper
at Waterloo and has met with success.
This paper, however, he expects to
dispose of before finally coming to
penison. Mr. Otto Vosgerau has been
in the Review Office for the past five
years, where by close attention and
study he has developed into first
class ad compositor and pressman. He
has been faithful employee and while

NORTHWESTERN CHANGES TIME
Denison Practically Cut of From Ac.
commodations That Should Be
Granted to the Patrons.

The change in the schedule of the
trains on the Northwestern line has
cut Denison practically out of accom-.
modations that ordinarily should be
extended to patrons of the road. 1t is
next to impossible to take train
from here in the evening for Chicago
and to secure a sleeper. We are af-
forded the privilege of riding to Car
roll on one train and taking another
one coming along later.
This is not fair treatment for Den
ison and the Commercial club should
wake up to the situation and take
steps to have the schedule corrected.
If the railroad will not yield to proper
pressure, then it must expect the peo-
pie to travel over a road that will
furnish accommodations.

The PAST WEEK
IN SOCIAL CIRCLES
The Week Well Taken Up With FAM
lily Reunions, Dinners and Sea-
sonable Gatherings.
MISS HAYES ENTERTAlNs CLASS
The Current Events Club Provide a
Christmas Tree Monday
Afternoon.

Mrs. B. F. Philbrook will entertain
at dinner on Wednesday evening in
honor of the University Glee club.
The club dance Monday evening
was exceptionally we'll attended and
those present report a splendid pro-
gram.
Miss Hayes gave a large and very
elaborate dinner party on Monday
evening, covers being laid for thirty
guests. The affair was in the nature
of class reunion. The centerpiece
of the beautifully appointed table rep
resented the motto of the class OF
1910, Hitch your wagon to star"
A tiny wagon was filled with narcissus
and graceful ferns and attached to a
golden star. The menu, which was
faultless, was served in five courses.
Music, games and "reminiscences fur
nished an evening OF special pleasure.
Too often a teachers interest in her
pupils ends with graduate but the
class of 1910 have abundant proof
that ''the tie that binds" is too strong
to be easily broken.
The social festivities OF the past
week consisted mostly of the Christ
mas parties, family gatherings, and
the homecoming which usually char
acterize the holiday season.
The Christmas party given by the
Current Events club and their friends
on Monday afternoon was a great sue
cess and a most enjoyable affair. A
beautiful tree laden with toys and
gifts of more substantial nature
was provided for the little folks, who
appreciated the entertainment most
thoroughly.
Mrs. Strahan entertained her Sab

The Review Wishes to Congratulate
the Contestants Upon Their
Work Which Was Enduring.
THE PRIZE WINNERS.

The Reviews popular voting contest
reached a climax on Christmas eve,
when the prizes were awarded after
the votes were counted. Miss Lizzie
Hopper, of Charter Oak, won the first
grand prize, and landed the beautiful
$4OO Bellvue piano. Miss Anna Bues-
ing, of Denison, won the second grand
prize, a $500 Bellvue piano. Miss Clara
Strahan, of Denison, won the third
prize, a beautiful $125 diamond ring.
Mrs. Lizzie Rollins Robertson, of our
city, won the fourth prize, beauti-
full diamond ring valued at $50. Helen
Baslaugh, the youngest contestant in
the race, won the fifth prize, $50
gold watch. Miss Mary Griffin was
awarded the sixth prize, a scholarship
in the Denison Normal and Business
college, and Miss Minnie Dixon, of
Denison, won the seventh prize, which
was also scholarship in the Denison
Normal and Business college.
Promptly at nine o'clock the judges,
Messrs. Kemming, Wright and See
man, took charge of the ballot box
which was taken to the Crawford
County State bank, where the votes
of the contest were counted. The bal
lot box had been locked and sealed
on Tuesday evening, December goth,
the judges counting only those votes
which were placed in the box from

that time on up to the close, the other
ballots having been previously counted
and the count being ratified by the
several candidates. The judges were
very particular in their count, and no
question was made of the exactness Of
their finding.
The count showed Miss Lizzie Hop
per to have $4,000 votes, which gave
her a majority over her highest CON-
petitor of 1876, 500. Miss Anna Buesing
had the next highest number of votes,
having 75S,5OO. Miss Clara Strahan
was next in order, her vote amount
ing to 405,OOO. Mrs. Lizzie Rollins
Robertson had total of 281 400. Helen
Baslaugh had a total vote of 179,2OO.
Miss Mary Griffin had 117,05O, and
Miss Minnie Dixon had 1O1 800 votes.
After the judges had made their
count and certified their findings, the
result was announced at the Review
office, where the contestants and their
friends were anxiously awaiting the
report.
This contest was one of the most re-
markable and successful which has
been held in western Iowa at any
time. From every standpoint it was
all and more than could have been
expected. From the very start it de-
veloped great interest in view of the
fact that the prizes were of such value
as to command the attention of every
one. The pianos were advertised, the
first one as $4OO piano, and the Sec
ond as $500 instrument, and investi-
cation showed that the prices placed
upon them were the prices at which
they sell regularly by the dealers. The
same is true of the other prizes. No
fictitious values were placed upon
them. The fact that the prizes were
so valuable appealed to the commun-
ity and induced the contestants to
make every effort to win them. An
other thing that commended the
course of The Review was the fact
that the prizes were purchased from
home dealers and not from foreigners.
that was offered was
bought here in Denison from regular
dealers.
The Review does net hesitate to
give credit to the contestants who
worked so vigorously and faithfully
during the several weeks that the con-
test was on. 1t also appreciates the
generous response on the part of the
public in renewing subscriptions and

and entertaining manner. Delicious
refreshments were served during the
evening and games and music made
the hours pass all too quickly for the
happy guests.
The Rebekah lodge had Christmas
festival in their hall on Tuesday even
ing. A special program of music and
recitations and beautiful Christmas
tree were the special features of the
evening.

1t is reported that the new we'll is

Some little delay was caused by the
pump getting out of order which re-
quired it to be taken to Omaha to be
repaired, but since then the work is

tory manner.
We sincerely hope that within
short time the we'll will be furnishing
enough water to insure supply ade-
quate to meet the demand of the city
for ordinary use, and to protect 1t
against the danger of fire. 1t is one
of the misfortunes that seemingly
arises when fire is started that the
water is either short or the pumping
the disastrous fire in Chicago
last week could have been quenched
before it spread had the pump
ing apparatus been in proper work

looking after these things is
grave one and those who have
charge of supplying the city with
water and protecting it against fire
should appreciate their responsibility
and not permit either a shortage of
water or the machinery to remain out
of repair. We congratulate the coun-
Gil in the progress it is making in try
ing to solve the water problem in Den
ison.
