THE LAST INTERVIEW WITH

Ralph Johnstone. who met with
such a tragic fate at Denver. 1t
was given to a reporter on the
New York Sun just after John

Ralph tombstone allowed as soon
as he came down and shook his
rubber clothes. He poured some
hot coffee into himself in the
little restaurant behind the
Wright tents and then. after a
shoot OF more than 1900 feet in
about seven minutes with sput
tering engine. he lighted cigar
with fingers that didn't flicker

pick out a few recollcctions. and
there were some new ones from

have to kid yourself along and
forget EN-. People tell you that

won't be able to breathe and that
you'll get sick and that you may

things came to me this asternoon
when I was up there. but the only
thing to do is to see how much
oil there is left or to see wha,
time il is or take a fash at the
barogrrph and see how mu-h
you've climbed.
You see. this little machine
was new to me. Id never used it
before and ! wasn't sure of 1t.
Anyway there's a whole lot more
sense OF security in one of the
bigger planes. But this is a
wonder for climbing; it's got them
all stopped.
why. it didn't take more than
twenty or twenty FIVE minutes to
get up $500 feet. but after that it
was a steady plugging. 1, looked
so fine and clear when ! started
out that the goggles were up over
my face mask. That covers up
all the upper half OF my face and
reaches down to the lips. but it
didn't do any good in protecting
the eyes. So before | got over
the grand stand they we're water
ing to beat the band and | saw
that Id have to get those goggles
down. The little machine was so
strange to me that didn't dare
to leave it alone for a minute, but
II wasn't very hard to hold II
straight with one knee and then
put those glasses down.
"Why. the whole thing was a
pipe after | got started. All /
had to do was TO sit back there
with my feet cooked up and my
eyes on that little piece Of string,
! don't know what that string is
made Of" he went on in answer
to questio.; lust an old piece

betwcen the skids and it told me.

the fact that your feet are dang

The first $500 feet climb was
cinch. but after that it was
tough going. You see didn't
know how to get the best results
out of the little machine and !
had to try it at every conceivable
angle to see how | could get the
best speed and best rise out of it.

at that. | tell you that's the only
time it took little bit of control
to make myself send that ma

what would happen TO it if any
thing vent wrong with the en-
gine when it was pointed that
way. but ! had fairly good idea
that it would drop if that hap

which he was sitting until it

that point where person would
lose his balance backward.

can remember" he went on. "the
earth had the look of a dish. just
as il ! was looking into a bowl
with the horizon all around for

was that the wind up there came
from the north. although on the
ground it was blowing out of the
south. j knew that the engine
was going to give me some
trouble before very long and
about that time | was keeping my
eyes pretty well glued on the
pocket barograph that was on my
wrist.
"Yon can understand the idea
about the engine better when you
know that we have to adjust the
carburetcr to work on the level.
and when we get up above things
look different. ! knew that the
gas was coming too fast for the
air"
Wilbur Wright said the other
day that when an engine begins
to be starved for lack OF air it
loses about one-third OF its power
and the rest is drowned in a
shower of gasolene.

DEMOCRATS AND NEAR DEMO
Gratis GATHERED IN Sc
CRET SESSION.

AS was stated in yesterday morn
ing's isue of the Bonanza, the lead
ers of Nevada's democracy, gather
ed for a secret conflab at Reno
Tuesday night, but what resulted
from the idea swapping contest, no
one knows. The spot where the
clan gathered is also a secret but
it is presumed that the slate max
ers met in the back room of Hen
ry Ritter's beer joint, and discuss
ed the political situation over tall
stems of cold tea or soda water.
Strange rumors were again in evil
dence yesterday and amateur slate
makers each made out an entry
card showing all kinds of candi-
dates in the race for the democratic
nominations. Indeed the array OF
such talent was most wonderful
simply astounding-and men who
were unknown in the rank and
file of the party suddenly leaped
into prominence when their name
was mentioned for some office. 1t
is now expected that when these
occurrences are reported to the
ears of the higherups at the state
capitol, another back bar room ses-
sion will be the result, for it Is
not fair for the rank outsiders to
spoil the plans already mapped out
which are expected to carry the
state into the democratic column at
the coming election.

NEARLY WIN
THEIR BETS ON A
HORSE RACE
FUNNY SIDE OF LIFE is POR-
TRAYED BY COMEDIANS
AT THE NEVADA.

The Lewis and Lake company
will present for tonights program
The Rollicking Girl a two act
musical play written for laughing
purposes only. During the action
of the first act the three comedians
are seen at the races and depict
the funny side of life when
"pikers' hit the merry old bookies'
stand. They nearly win. Also
Fduring the first act the principal
members of the company enact a
Roman tragedy which is one of
the funniest scenes ever presented
on local playhouse stage. The
second act is a satire on every day
life in the drug establishment of a
quack doctor who goes away and
leaves his porter to transact his
business. And the awkward things
he does are very funny. THE Rol-
, licking Girl taken as whole, is
simply hodge-podge of comedy.
''The Merry Grafters," which
was presented again last evening
drew good house and the audi
ence enjoyed the show immensely
The same popular prices, 25, sc
and IS cents will continue during

At recent meeting at Hull House
Of the conference of the Socialist
and Russian Progressive organiza tons

asking federal authorities to use their
influence in preventing labor agencies
from transporting Russian workers to
the Hawaiian Islands by means Of al

was decided to appeal to the Russian
consul in Chicago for assistance. 1t Is
charged that Russian men and women
have been induced to go to the Ha-

would be paid good wages and given
reasonable working conditions and
that the promises have not been full
filled by the labor agencies. Speakers
