FOUR RIDE IN AEROPLANE
Flight Accomplished With Apparent

New York.-A feat in aviation I'M

try was successfully performed on
Hampstead Plains near Mineola Sun
day when Charles F. Willard took his
biplane into the air carrying three pas
besides himself. Willard took
his three friends a distance Of a quar-

twenty feet. Willard called for vol

Albin and H. NJ. Willard signified their
Willingness to take a chance.
Willard tucked them away in all
sorts of positions and finally OF bis

feet turned his forward planes up. The
machine shot into the air a distance
of about twenty feet and then ahead

Cotton Exports GIut Shipments.
New Work-Judging from the scare
ity of freight space aboard outgoing
European steamships, the export trade
is remarkably large. This applies es-
pecially to cotton shipments, the con-
gestion of which in the ports of ship
lei and on every outgoing steamer
is causing much annoyance to export
ers of other freight. About 5000 bales
of cotton belonging to James A. Pat
ten, the Chicago %speculator, is await
ing shipment, and it has been found
impossible to get freight accommoda-
lions for this big shipment.

No More Passes for
This Man from Greece
Speedy Action Taken in Federal
Court for Violating the Anti
Pass Law.

Next time ] get the railroad pass 7
don't get him." said Gus Apotolos, IN
mixed Greek and English. as he ambled
out Of Judge Munger Sscourt room Satur-
day morning on his way 70 the Douglas
county jail. where, according to sentence
Of the court. he must be held prisoner until
he pays a fine Of 500.
Apotolos' antipathy 70 the railroad pass
grows out Of the fact that his 500 fine re-
suited from a charge to the effect that the
defendant had sold or given away an en-
ploye's pass on the Union Pacific rail-
road. contrary to the supulations Of the
interstate commerce law, governing rail-
road transportation.
Apotolos was working for the Union Pa
ciflc at ogden. He obtained tound trip
pass between ogden and this city. He
journeyed to Omaha and liked the place
so we'll that he decided not to return to
the Utah city. Then he had an unused
return coupon. which he either sold OF
gave to Peter Karpusos. a fellow country
man. who wanted to so TO Ogden. Special
officer Canada OF the Union Pacific
learned OF the deal and lifted Karpusos
from a train at Fremont as he was speed
ing westward. Apotolos was arrested sew
eral days ago and was arraigned Saturday
before United States Commissioner Ander-
son. He demanded speedy trial, and, in
asmuch as the commissioners court is
only preliminary, Apotolos was sent over
to Judge Munger, where he entered a plea
Of guilty, in order, as he stated, that he
might get it done UP quiclSlike.
Judge Munger proved to be equal to the
speed requirements, and Immediately after
the plea of guilty was entered the penalty
was assessed and it was all over. 1t is
understood that the fine will be paid at
once-probaby this afternoon so that Apo
tolos will not be a prisoner very long.
When the prisoner appeared before Judge
Munger the Judge said:
whats your name?'
Gus" replied the defendant.
THAT won't do, it's worse than that"
answered the Judge.
Then Gus" annexed the "Apotolos." and
the hearing proceeded.
Karpusos who was held only as q Wit
ness, was discharged after the proceedings.
and he declared that next time he starts
to ogden he will be sure that he is not
travelling on transportation that is supplied
by violation of interstate commerce stipu-
lations.
It is possible to impose fine as high as
1000 for violations Of the pass laws, but
the fact that Apotolos pleaded guilty prob
ably caused Judge Munger to withhold the
higher sentence.

Saturday prices on hogs cattle and sheep
are low, not only on the South Omaha
market. but on all the other big markets Of
the country. South Omaha, in fact has
been paying 70 cents a hundred more for
hogs than Chicago has been paying, but
the decline now under way promises to go
stnl further. The decline in hogs Is from
10 to 10 cents within the last week, cornfed
steers are from . to 40 cents lower than
they were a week ago and range steers
have within the week dropped from 10 to Is
cents.
Wherefore, say we'll informed stock
men, the secret Of the lower prices Of
meats to the consumer is made public at a
glance-simpy the operation of the law of
supply and demand.
There is a division Of sentiment among
omaha meat market proprietors over the
decline in retail prices Many Of the subur-
ban markets in residence sections profess
to have had no information whatever con-
corning a reduction in meat prices, but the
more enterprising downtown meat shops
were quick to announce the slump and as a
result their trade is growing by leaps and
bounds. Eventually the suburban meat
dealer will join the procession. most likely,
for much OF the trade that formerly went
to residential district markets now comes
to the big shops in the heart Of the city.
is the era Of lower living cost here to
stay? That is a question the householder
Is asking many times a day. Most OF the
authorities on the subject are inclined to
believe that lower prices will prevail indefl-
nitely, for the bumper corn crop of Ne
braska, Iowa, Missouri and other midwest
states insures plenty OF fattened stock
from the farms and such plenty naturally
has a tendency to keep prices down.
The situation as to prices Of Thanksgiving
turkeys in Omaha is not yet fully defined.
Retail dealers, as a rule. have not yet per-
fected their arrangements for turkeys, but
announcements along this line will be forth
coming in a few days.
