what the State does when it raises

MY brother of the Potosi Journal
still lnsists-and gives the statis-

does not raise prices. Then why
a tariff, except for revenue? For
the benefit of the workingman?
But how, if the tariff does not en-
able the employer to charge more
for the product of his factory than
he could if there were nc tariff
how can it aid him in paying high
er wages than he could without it?
Brother, l would really like to

GAVE SILENCE" TO
TACTICAL OFFICER
Meals and a Hop Sacrificed
by West Point Cadets

West Point, N. Y, Sept. 26.-
1t appears that Captain Edward Ian
don, stationed at the United States
military academy since Sept. 1 as
tactical officer, incurred the displeas-
ure of the cadets in some manner and
when he entered mess hall Saturday
night he was greeted with the indig-
nifty Of the silence"
Immediately the offending cadets
were ordered to their rooms supper
less, but despite their hunger the Isl
lence" was repeated again Sunday
morning at breakfast, and once more
the offenders were locked in their
rooms, after having been forced to
march with arms five times around the
barracks.
Because of the performance of Sat
urday night, hop which had been ar
ranged was cancelled, greatly to the
embarrassment Of number of young
women who had come to the academy
from New York and other places.

any time he could have been elected
a member of the national committee,
but he always preferred to be in the
background, where he was able to
exert the greatest amount of inf1u-
ence
After the choice of the delegation to
the national convention in 1896 the
members held meeting and insisted
that Brayton should be the member
from Rhode Island. He was also
urged to take the place by many
strong and influential friends who
thought it would be something in the
way of honor and reward due him for
his loyal services.
Nineteen years ago BraytOn was ad-
mitted to the bar as fUll-fledged
lawyer He had been for many years
fully equipped with legal knowledge,
and few, if any, laws Or amendments
were passed by the general assembly
that he did not know personally what
the full text and intent were.
General Brayton was large man Of
wonderful physique, and noticeable
anywhere he appeared. He was, and
to a large degree, magnetic and at
tractive He had never sought an
office, though he had the reputation
of having put many other men into
them.
1t is believed that he was admitted
to the bar at a later period in life
than any other person in the history
of the state. He was over 80 at the
time he took his successful examina-
ton.
General Brayton had an excellent
war record, and as Grand Army man
he was long considered peer among
them. He was also leading member
Of the Masonic fraternity.
He was constantly in attendance at
! the legislature, and no single man in
| the state exerted so strong an influ-
enre there as he at all times. He was
| aggressive, fearless and kindly, and
is said to have never broken his word
For years, although holding no state
position, he occupied an Office in the
capitol at Providence, from which he
directed legislation. He was ordered
from the state house time after time,
but went there when he pleased, his
| headquarters being in the office of the
sheriff.

SHOOTS over
ALPINE PEAKS
PIuCky Performance Of Aviator
George Chavez
TRIES FOR PRIZE OF $4,000

With Terr9rs of Voyage Past, He
Falls Victim to Puff of Wind When
Only Thirty Feet From Ground
He Is Badly Injured and Machine
Wrecked In Making Landing on ItaI-
ian soil-Doesnt Remember Falling
Domodossola, Italy, Sept. 25.-The
great feat Of crossing the snow capped
Alpine barrier between Switzerland
and Italy in a heavier than air machine
was accomplished by George Chavez,
the young Peruvian aviator.
But the pluclly hero of the exploit
lies in the DomodOssola hospital badly
injured as the result Of an accident
which occurred just as he had COM
pleted the most arduous and nerve
racking portion Of a task he had set
out to accomplish fight from Brig
in Switzerland, across the Alps, tC
Milan in Italy, in all a distance Of
about seventy-five miles.
Both his legs are broken, his left
thigh is fractured and his body is bad
ly confused, but the physicians in at
tendance are of the opinion that the
hurts will not prove fatal, and that
unless unlocked for complications en-
sue Chavez Will be about in two
months.
The accident happened as Chavez
was eudeavoring to make landing
here. The Alps had been crossed
most successfully and the aviator was
descending gracefully with the power
Of his monoplane cut off When it
was about thirty feet above the ground
a sudden gust of wind seemed to catch
the monOplane, which turned over and
FELL carrying Chavez with it.
When the crowds that had been
watching the descent ran up they
found Chavez lying bleeding and un-
conscious beneath the twisted wreck
age.
Fifty miles away, and over country
that has none of the hazards of the
Alps, lay Milan, the goal Chavez was
seeking in an endeavOr to win prize
of 500 900 offered by the Italian Avia-
ton association for the fight. Chavez
had lost the race.
The weather at Brig was clear anC
bright when Chavez made his start
Leaving the ground with his motor
running at full speed he rose il

Boston, Sept. 25.-The directors of
the Boston and Maine railroad an
nounced that Lucius futile, for the
past many years president of the road
will be paid $50 600 salary during his
vacation year, which began this week,
and thereafter he will be paid a SAL
airy of $40, 900 a year for IAN indef-
mite period"
1t is thought that futile will go
abroad for a years rest and when he
returns the formal announcement of
his final retirement from the presi-
dency of the road will be announced.
He is now president of the road "On
leave" and will continue with this
title during his vacation year.

sweeping circles until he had reached
an altitude sufficient for him to clear
the Resti shoulder to the southeast
ward Of Brig. This obstacle having
been overcome the Peruvian aviator
headed his monoplane straight for the
snow capped crags of the FlatchOrn.
Constantly ascending, Chavez reached
the Simplon Kuhn, where, at an alti-
tude of 1900 feet, he turned his ma
chine south over the terrifying Simplon
Pass, with the Kaltwasser glacier at
his left and the frozen peak of the
Hubschorn at his right.
After crossing the divide, instead of
taking a short cut over the Monchers
Pass, a huge edged glacier, Chavez
turned the towering white mountain
head of Monte Leone, which rises
to a height of 16, 646 feet, and passed
down above the GondegOrge, a deep
gulf between sheer walls, until he
reached the open valley of Vedre, and
then descended easily toward Domo-
dossola, which is $50 feet above sea
level. 1t was here that the accident
occurred.
Some of the spectators of the fight
say that after crossing the Simplon
Pass, Chavez followed the short cut
route over the Monser Pass, which is
5000 feet above the sea- If this be so
it is possible that the Peruvian beat
his own worlds record for height of
S271 feet.
The twenty-five miles between Brig
and DOmOdossOla, which it took the
armies of Napoleon fortnight to
necotiate. Chavez accomplished by
the way of the eagle in exactly forty
minutes.
From the high point at Monsera, he
descended 1000 feet in thirteen miles =,
his machine gaining momentum as it
flew over the tumble of lower peaks
guHies and hills beyond, until its
speed was terrific as it approached the
aerodrome here. This doubtless
caused the accident which turned the
cheers of admiration by the waiting
crowd into cries Of horror, for the ma
chine came hurting to the ground
lust as it seemed that Chavez was
about to alight in safety.
After treatment in the hospital
Chavez regained consciousness. He
suffered terribly from his hurts. He
said he was unable to explain how the
accident OccuTred-that he could not
remember having fallen. The gen
eral opinion is that it was due to {
slight shift in the rudder while the
monoplane was going at high rate o.
| speed.

prize of $40 900, having failed to reacf

pital. He was 70 years of age and
totally blind. Brayton was taken to
the hospital on Aug. 20 with a broken
hip, the result of a fall in his office.
DR.. BudlOng declared, however, that
death was due to diabetes, from which
BraytOn had suffered for several years.
The BOSS" of Rhode Island had
been living for some time with his
wife at the Grown hotel in this city.
He did what he always declared he
would do-died with his boots on. He
had been at work as the power behind
the throne in Rhode Island politics
right up to the time he was taken to
the hospital.
BraytOn had been totally blind for
half a dozen years and had been par
TALLY blind for about fifteen years.
The loss of his eyesight was caused by
cataraCts.

R. l., on Aug. IS, 1910. He enlisted
as first lieutenant in the Third Rhode
Island volunteers and subsequently
was in the heavy artillery. He was

was mustered out of the service on
Oct. 5, 1864. He was breveted a
brigadier general Of the United States
volunteer service on March 10, 1865
for faithful and meritOriOus service
during the war.
General Brayton studied law and
was admitted to the bar in 1891. He
became postmaster of Providence
which position he held from 1874 to
1880. He became member of the
Republican national committee in
1904. His residence was Warwick, but
he had been living in Providence fol-
some time. His office was in the
Banigan building, but he spent great
deal of his time at the state house.
