FLYING MACHINE FELL.
Pine-Mathewson BipIane Is Damaged
Aviator Is Unhurt.

Caught in an air current, the Pine
Mathewson Denver built biplane, max
ing a series of experimental flights
on the Taylor tract north of Garfield
park, tipped and fell so feet to the
ground about $3.50 o'clock Friday af-
ternoon. The two rear wheels were
smashed. Aviator George Thompson
escaped unhurt.
This is the first accident since the
tests were begun Friday morning
Then two flights were made At both
trials the machine, with running
start of about 800 feet, rose in the
air about so feet and covered dis
lance of over 100 feet before descend
ing.
In the afternoon at the first trial,
the machine did not leave the ground.
At the second trial the air craft made
a flight like those of the morning,
starting southeast from a little emil
nence about half mile northwest of
the park, On the third trial the ma
chine had risen to about so feet A
gust caught il on the left side. The
biplane tipped to the side. The aer-
lorns were brought into play to right
it, but the resistance offered by them
slackened the machines forward mo-
ton. The loss of momentum caused
it to fall, smashing the two rear
wheels. These will be replaced and
the tests will be continued some time
next week.

NO LAW FOR BRIBERS.
Only Those Who Sell Votes Are Amen
able in Illinois.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Charges of petty
frauds in large numbers that were ex-
pected to materialize before the board
of election commissioners as a result
of alleged repeating and vote buying
at the primaries Thursday have not
shown life at the commissioners Of
fees.
Ardor of some of the Investigators
was dampened by their discovery that
the primary law provides punishment
for the voter who sells his vote or ac-
cepts a bride, but at the same time
provides immunity for the candidate
or politician who does the bribing or
buys the vote.
''There is nothing we can do in
these cases. so far as the bribers are
concerned" said John G. Cannon,
chief clerk for the commissioners. "It
seems rather strange, but the law
seems to be perfectly plain in its ex-
preston. 1t would be practically i'm
possible to find out who the vote
sellers WERE"

CAME in ON THE PILOT
Mangled Bodies of Two Men Arrive in
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Sept 17.-Tightly
wedged in the pilot of an express train
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad the
bodies of two men, badly mangled and
supposed to be those of Winfield d.
Cullin and Jesse Cullin of Belcamp,
Nd, were found early today when the
train arrived in this city. In addition
to the bodies, parts of which were
missing, a piece of horse blanket and
portion of what is believed to have
been a carriage wheel were also found
on the locomotive.
In the pockets of the clothing on
the bodies were found letters contain
ing the names and addresses above
given. These letters are the only clew
the railroad has to the identity of the
men. The fact that the men were
killed by the train was not discovered
until the train neared this city.
