junction--Will Now Hear Argu-
mcnt--Claim Rights Guar
anteed in 1870.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The constitu-
tionality of the act of the last gen
eral assembly abolishing the "fee
system" in state Offices attacked In q
suit brought today by the CHICAGO
Board of Trade against w. Scott
Cowan, chief grain inspector and
member of the state railroad and
warehouse commission. In the petit
tion for an injunction restraining
order is sought to prevent the chief
grain inspector and others from
turning over TO the state treasurer
s64 ,560.37 which represents the
amount of accumulated fees since
the new law went into effect.
The Board of Trade in it's bill de-
clares the constitution of 1870 and
the general assembly of 1871 guar
anteed grain producers and dealers
adequate grain inspection and the
amount appropriated by the legisla-
ture are wholly inadequate to main
tain proper grain inspection service.
Judge Gridley has issued tempo
rary Injunction and will hear argu-
ments in few days on the motion
to make the restraining order per-
manent.

with the new shaft through which
he was rescued will prove paying

Rejected by House.

Washington. Aug. 2.-Leaders in
both houses of congress believe an
agreement quickly will be reached
on both the wool and farmers free

is said to be as determined as ever
to veto
The wool bill was sent to con-
ference committee of the two houses

The free list bill came back to the
house with the senate amendments
attached and probably will be re-.
jected and sent to conference within
a day or two. The house will not
act, however, until the Ways and
Means committee decides tomorrow
what shall be done.

man Penrose of the senate commit
tee on conferences to include the
| free list bill in the same conferences
which will embrace the wool bill
but Mr.. Underwood declined to en-
ter into any agreement until after
the Ways and Means committee had
decided whether a conference on the
free list bill will be demanded.
II SO demanded, Underwood said
he ould be willing to have the wool

two bills, agree at one sitting, report
the agreement to the two houses
and send the bills to the president
together Monday and the president
having vetoed the bills, have the
session of congress adjourn by the

Washington, Aug. 2-Charles A.
White. the Illinois legislator who
claims he was bribed to vote for
William Lorimer for senator com
pleted his three days story on di-
rect examination before the senate
Lorimer committee. He has yet to
measure wits with counsel for Lori
mer in cross examination with prom
ises to be extended as the direct ex-

Mist Of the day was devoted to tell
ing how he spent $1,000 "Lorimer
money" and 5000 lock pot money
White claims he received and In re-
lating attempts to have the so-called
confession printed. At the end OF
the day the manuscript was put in
evidence.
The story told at the first Lorimer
inquiry was varied by repeated fusi-
ladies' of qeustions from the COM
mittee as tU Whites alleged public
spirited motives in accepting bribes
and then exposing them.
White stuck to his testimony that
he as working all of the time for
the good OF the public. 1t was also
varied by differences with the testi-
mony of James keeley, general
manager and editor of the Chicago
Tribune as to the price which White
asked for his confession manuscript.
White testified today that he only
asked $500 and not $4,000 or
10000. Il. -
White complained that he did not
have counsel when he made the con-
tract and that he was placed in GUS
today the very night he signed it
and kept in custody for nearly eight
months When he protested against
this White said the officers told him
they had papers that might surprise
him.
Whites said all his letters to
brown had not been produced, that
because he felt little sorry for
him. He wrote to Brown on Febru-
airy 26. or q, 1910. saying that he
was going to expose affairs at
Springfield and was sorry he must
mention Brownies name, but that
he could not help it.
One letter from White to Lorimer
informed the senator that White was
about to publish his exposure and
had been offered 50 word for his
10000 word manuscript
Lorimer replied 81 would be glad
indeed to know Of your. success as an

ter.
A frequent cause Of accident, more
especially In the earlier days Of avia-
ton, was the airmans taking the air
at too steep an angle.
1t Is a little difficult to explain on
paper, but please imagine man try.
ing to climb up a perfectly smooth in
ctned plank or surface which affords
him neither hand-hold nor foot-hold.
So long as the plank is at moderate
angle there will be sufficient friction
between 1t and his body to enable him
to stay on 1t, even to wiggle his way
along. But tilt the plank upward, and
at certain angle nothing can save
him. he must fall backward
Now, in aviation the air is the plank,
the aeroplane being on 1t. If the avia-
tor rises 100 sharply 1t is like trying to
climb up the smooth plank tilted up
right He cannot do it the machine
must drop to earth. Similarly in de.

too sharp an angle the machine must
fall to the ground as inevitably as
man lying on smooth plank head
downward must drop when 1t is tilted
upright
So far l have only dealt with the
risks of flying due to the machine, the
air, the man, but in conclusion there is
the danger that ayiators cause to each
other by flying too close to another
machine. The recent terrible accident

have been caused by another aero
plane flying near her. do not know
what truth there is in this charge, but
an aeroplane Is not constructed tc
stand sudden pressure from above. and
a real point of danger arises when one
machine is below another
There is still one cause of flying &C

That is the growing tendency of tho
public at aviation meetings to expect
the air men to fly, whatever the condi.
tons. That brutal spirit should b

WIRELESS MESSAGES ANCIENT
Natives Of Africa Communicate Over
Distance Of Seven Miles by
Code OF Drum Signals.

johannesburg. La.-Many strange
tribes dwell in the interior of Africa
and queer indeed are some of their
ways. One tribe. the Batetela, has
long used method of sending COM
munications between it's several viii
lagos that is unique and we'll worth
consideration. A wooden drum is
used and the wireless" message can
be picked up. Or heard, seven miles
away 1t is amazing. The drum used
by the Batetela for sending messages
in this manner is first cut out from
one large solid piece Of hard wood.
It's shape, as may be seen in the illus
tration, Is quite peculiar and must
require considerable skill in the fash
ioning when one considers the lack
of proper tools among these tribes.
Still more difficult is the finishing of
the drums interior, for 1t has to be
followed out and all the work is done
through the long narrow opening
which shows at the top. The shape
inside follows that outside and much
patience and care are required in at
