Must Explain Possession of Cuff Links
and Pen.

San Francisco, April 12.-Edward
Evans, a private in the Fifty-seventh
company of the United States coast
artillery, was arrested here last night
by police officers investigating the
death of Guy NJ. Lundsburg, son of an
Alameda, Cal, real estate dealer.
Lundsburg's body was found Monday
in San Francisco bay. A pair of sleeve
links and a fountain pen were missing
from his clothing.
Evans told the police he had bought
a pair of links and a fountain pen
from a stranger on March 81, the day
Lundsburg disappeared.
The police say they have evidence
that Evans pawned the articles with a
bartender and later recovered them.
They also say he told this story to a
corporal of his company, who advised
him to report to the authorities, but
Evans finally threw the links and pen
into the bay.

New York, April 1.-THE time has
already come when Europe must come
to America to study art. according to
DIR. A Won Loga, professor of art at
the Berlin University and chief of the
ROYAL Museum. He is in New York

of old masters by wealthy American
collectors and institutions is rapidly
robbing Europe of its art supremacy:
The best specimens of Spanish art
and etching. for example, he said, are
now in America and any one who
wishes to study the art history of that
nation must come here. DR.. Won
Loga's chief reason for visiting Amer
lea was to see Ell Greco's painting of

determine the priority of invention in
tungsten filaments. 1t is charged in the
indictment that Heany procured a man
named Simon to color his testimony in

FAMOUS JUNE Bug
TO Be SEEN HERE
Curtiss' Pioneer Aero Will
Be at Aerial Exposition.

The famous June Bug, the first aero
plane to make an official fight in this
country, has been offered to the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington by its
designer and builder. Glenn H. Curtiss.
Since the pioneer American flyer was
used in making history it has been stored
in the Curtiss hangar on the shores of
Lake Keuka, at Hammondsport, n. Y,
the scene of its many flights.
Upon arriving in Washington the June
Bug will be exhibited at the aeroplane
show held in the Exposition Building,
North Capitol and NJ streets, from March
5 to T. There will be a number of mod
ern machines exhibited at the show. and
the June Bug will be the star relic of
the early aviation days in this country.
1t was wished to have a number of
the Langley models on exhibition at the
show. but the Smithsonian authorities,
who have these models in keeping, were
unwilling to move them outside of the
National Museum, and compromised by
promising to arrange full exhibit Of the
aviation material for visitors to the
museum coincident with the aeroplane
show.
The June Bug is the third flying
machine built by the Aerial Experiment
Association, which was composed Of Mr.
Curtiss, DR.. Alexander Graham Bell, F.
W. Baldwin, J. A. d. McCurdy, and the
late Lieut.. T. S. Selfridge. 1t is an i'm
provement on the Red Wing and the
White Wing. the first machines built
by the association, and was the first ma
chine with which circling flights were ac-
complished
Curtiss won the first leg On the Scientific
American trophy, on July 4. 1905. This
flight was the first public aeroplane con-
test in America, and the first flight
officially observed by the Aero Club of
America. A peculiar coincidence was
that the Aero Club was represented by
Charles NJ. Manley, who assisted Prof.
Langley in his experiments when he was
connected with the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. which now receives this history
making machine
The Smithsonian Institution recently
moved into its spacious new quarters and
is therefore in a position to devote more
space to aeronautics- Mr.. Curtiss pro-
posed giving the June Bug to the Ma
tional Museum some time ago, hut was
advised that there was no space avail
able for exhibiting the machine. The
June Bug is practically in the same
condition as when last flown Several of
the controls will have to be repaired be
fore II is sent to Washington. A dummy
motor, patterned after the one which
originally drove the machine through the
air, Will be placed in the machine.
