Lieutenant Kennedy
Will Learn To Fly
In Revamped Aero

After having been sent TO the fac
tory for repairs, the engine on Curtiss
biplane No. 2, at College Park. has been
returned and placed on the machine,
and, upon the return OF, Capt. Paul w.
Beck from Chicago, onS Saturday, the
biplane will be taken up for trial
flight.
There are two Curtiss machines at
the park. Captain Beck's machine was
used in Texas, and was smashed up
once, but rebuilt. Another Curtiss ma
chine was ordered, and, after its ar
rival, the engine refused TO work prop
erly. 1t was sent back for thorough
inspection at the Curtiss factory, and
1t has been returned with message
that 1t is now in fine shape. 1t arrived
at College Park yesterday and was i'm
mediately placed in the machine.
Lieutenant Kennedy will have charge
of 1t. Upon the return of Captain Beck,
Lieutenant Kennedy will begin his les
sons in flying a Curtiss biplane, and,
when he qualities as a pilot, the other
machine will be turned over to him.
Next month another Curtiss machine
will be at the aviation school. This
machine is said to be the fastest bl-
plane built, capable or making seventy
five miles an hour against the wind.
and 100 miles with the wind. 1t will be
operated by both Captain Beck and
Lieutenant Chandler. They will make
flights in 1t together, and, in all prob
ability, will attempt some long distance
trips after II arrives.

tion
When Lieutenant Milling and Lieu
teant Kirkland failed to fly their
Burgess Wright biplane all the way
to Frederick last Monday, the officers
at the National Guard camp and the
citizens of the town were disappoint-
ed. Captain Chandler and Lieutenant
Arnold were given a royal good time
while there. Preparations had been
made for Lieutenant Milling and Lieu
tenant Kirkland, too, and when 1t was
at Kensington, Md, and could not
continue the flight that day. an in
vitation was extended for them to
come some time later.
A trip was contemplated Wednes-
day, but an order was received from
the Signal Corps OF the War Depart
ment that there should he no more
cross-country flights until Colonel
Scriven. acting chief of the Signal
Corps, returns from his vacation. Col
Onel Scriven is expected in the city

CAPT. BECK TO GIVE
VIEWS ON CHICAGO
AVIATION RESULTS
Army Flyers Report, Due
Monday, Will Influence
b.. Purchases.

Capt Paul w. Beck, the army aviator
who represented the United States
Government at. the aviation meet in
Chicago. held last week, will return to
Washington Saturday, and will make
a report Monday TO the Signal Corps OF
the War Department. This report will
be of vital interest to the Government,
and to the men of the aviation school
at College Park.
When Captain Beck left Washington
for Chicago it was his purpose to in
hpect all the machines at the Chicago
meet, including the monoplanes and BIZ
planes from foreign countries, and to
keep tab on the work and accomplish
ments of each machine while at Chi
cago. This Captain Beck has done, and
his report will embody all these obser-
vations.
This report also will have considerable
weight with the Government in the pur-
chase Of new machines, for 1t Is now
certain that the Government, in the
course of a few months. will purchase
at least two new machines, one of
which. probably, will be a monoplane.
A double-control Curtiss biplane has
been ordered. but this new machine will
not be included in the proposed plan to
purchase two other machines.
An elimination process will be inau-
gurated by the Government in the pur-
chase of two new machines. Specifica-
tions will be given. The Government
will require machine to be able to
make so many miles an hour. lift so
much weight, carry so many passengers.
and the machine to be bought must
come up to the standard that will be
set.

GOVERNOR WILSON
WILL Be LAUDED
IN THE "OUTLOOK"
Eulogy In Roosevelt Maga-
zine Causes Politicians
To Wonder.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The Outlook,
of which Theodore Roosevelt is con-
tributing editor. will print in its cur
rent edition a eulogy of Governor
Woodrow Wilson. of New Jersey, from
the pen OF Henry B. Nesdham. who,
when Colonel Roosevelt was President,
ranked as one of the Official press
agents of the Administration" New
York politicians are wondering today II
there Is a political significance IN this
fact.
Colonel Roosevelt. since the defeat Of
Henry L. Stimson. his candidate for
governor at the last election, now
member of President Taft's official
family, has refused TO take any part
in Republican politics in ohis State. The
man whom he most bitterly denounced
at Saratoga, William Barnes, jr., is
now chairman of the Republican State
committee, and he and his friends have
made it plain that If Roosevelt wants
to go to the next National convention
of the party that elected lim President,
he will have personally to ask them for
that honor.
Friends OF Wilson are very much en-
cOuraged that he has broken into" the
magazine through which Colonel Roose-
welt now reflects his opinions to the
public. They believe II indicates that
Roosevelt would not fight wilson, pro-
claimed as a real progressive, should
he get the Democratic Presidential
nomination. In this manner, Wilson
men say, he would gain progressive
strength in all of the western States.

IN TRIPLE
MURDER CLOSELY
GUARDED IN JAIL
Young Lee Cheerful, Even
Though Citizens Are
Greatly Aroused.

BOONVILE, Ind, Aug. 25.-The core
ner's jury continued its investigation
today into the death Of Richard Lee,
his wife and son, slain here yesterday,
while William Lee, twenty-one years
old, held as a suspect, sat in his cell in
the county jail and chatted cheerfuly
with his guard. Extra deputies have
been placed on duty to prevent an at
tack being made on the prisoner by in
furiated citizens.
With the entire village in a high state
Of excitement young Lee apparently is
Requested to pose for his photograph.
he carefully filled his pipe and asked
that he be snapped while the lighted
match burned near his face. He stead
fastly denied any knowledge OF how his
parents came to their death.
A bloody axe and hatchet found near
the house did not disturb him when
held before his eyes, and he refused to
believe for time that his fathers
head was nearly cleft by, blow and
that his brother and mother evidently
died from blSws in the head.
SYMPATHY for Fiancee.
Lee asked that he be permitted to at
tend the funeral of his parents today,
but 1t was believed this would be de-
MED. His fance, Nina Taylor, will
be examined by the coroner's jury to-
day.
Great sympathy was expressed today
for Miss Taylor. the young woman to
whom Lee was to have been married
yesterday. With her intended husband
in Jail, charged with murder, at the
time when the wedding ceremony was
to have been performed, she was hys-
terical most OF last night.
Brought from her home near New
burg, today to appear before the coro-
ner's jury, she was heavily veiled and
refused to make any statement other
than to declare she was positive Lee
was innocent. The townspeople do not
believe she had any knowledge of the
crime.
The authorities charged today that
Lee carefully planned the death of his
parents in order that he might rob
them of their life's savings in order to
be able to furnish a home for his in
tended bride.
Bruises on Body.
People Of the village assert that young
Lee never was Industrious and that his
family objected to his marriage be-
cause they feared he could not sup
port a family.
On examining Lee today, Jail physi-
clans discovered that he had several
bruises on his body. Lee said he re-
ceived the bruises while getting out OF
his buggy when he called on Miss Tay-
lor the night before the tragedy.

REAL ESTATE MAY
! BE NEW NAME Of
THE AMES BUILDING
Occupant Starts Movement
For Change, Which Is
Received Favorably.

A movement Is on foot to change the
name Of the old three-story office
structure, known as the Ames building,
at 14lO-1H2 G street northwest, to the
Real Estate building. II will adjoin the
new Riggs office building. which now is
being constructed on the former site OF
the Riggs House.
The reason for the proposed change In
name is that 1t has for many years been
occupied to n considerable extent by
real estate men. Now the entire first
floor and both of the basement Offices
are given over exclusively to real estate
agents and operators. No less than
eleven different real estate offices oc-
cupy these two floors.
The real estate men and companies
now having offices in the Ames build
ing are King & Milburn, T. H. Pickford,
L. w. Groomes, William K. Ellis, John
w. Childress, George J. Easterday, John
G. Slater, George Y. Worthington &
Son, Eugene H. Taggart, James Z.
Clements. and the James J. hampton
Company.
Eugene II. Taggart today suggested
the change to King & Milburn, agents
of thA Ames estate, which owns the
building and they are disposed favor
ably to consider it.
Buys Detached House.
Bessie NJ. Hackenberger has purchased
from Harry Wardman the recently fin
ished frame residence on the north side
of Decatur street, near the corner OF
Iowa avenue, Saul's Addition. The
house is a two-story detached dwelling

houses at 9l5 to 927 K street nor theast
and 9l4 to 92S Tenth street northeast,
after plans by Claughtoa West. The
operation will cost $4,000.

The Washington times., 1911-08-25

The Hon. Arthur P. German is
we'll known to the people of
Maryland. For nearly eight
years he has been member of
the State Senate, and has served
faithfully through four sessions.
For the past two years he has
been president of the State SEN
ate, an official position next to
that of the Chief Executive, and
if during that time there had been
vacancy in the office he would
have been the governor of the
State. 1t is to the latter office
that he now aspireS, and he is
asking the Democratic people for
the nomination. The only way
in which he can get the nomina-
ton is by the free votes of the
members of the Democratic
party, and that is the only way
he wishes to have it.
Mr.. German is young man,
but he has record and upon that
record he is willing to stand. 1t
is a record of achievement and
of service to his people in which
any man might take just pride.
At the State Democratic conven-
( ton in 1907 the Democratic
party first took position in favor
of great plan for the improve
ment of the public roads. The
party platform of that year con-
tanned this clause:
"The work of construction and
, improvement of our public roads
already so we'll begun should be
steadily kept up until, as the re-
suit of regular and judicious ex-
penditure, there shall exist in
Maryland a system of public
roads as good as that to be found
IN any of our sister States"
The Washington times., 1911-08-25

pose. To this is to be attributed
largely his success at this session
of the Legislature. He has made
some mistakes here, but upon the
whole his record is good. His in
PRODUCTION of a drastic and ef-
fective corrupt practices act and
his advocacy of changes in the
election law which will eliminate
some of the worst features, show
a breadth of view which has
gratified his friends.
GAS chairman of the Finance
Committee he has given heed to
the interest of the taxpayers with
out any undue parsimony. To
all applicants for appropriations
he has been firm and courteous,
and above all things his course
here has been clean and honor
able"
In his speech withdrawing from
the contest for denomination
Governor Crothers said that "the
Legislatures of 1908 and 1910
had given the State more pro-
gressive legislation and propelled
it further along progressive lines
in four years than any other
State had advanced in the same
time" The governor named the
important laws enacted at the
session of 1908. Mr.. German
was floor leader of the majority,
and in 1910 he was president of
the Senate. At both sessions he
exercised a powerful influence,
and he took a leading part in all
the great bills the governor
enumerated and against his op-
position, if he had been opposed
to any of them, it is doubtful if
they would have passed.
The training and experience
which Mr.. German gained by his
service in the Senate has equip
ped him admirably for the office
of governor.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND

Senator German wrote that
plank, and by his influence it was
put into the party platform. The
subsequent work on road i'm
provement was its outcome. AS
chairman of the Finance Com
mittee Senator German held a
place of great power. In that
place he was ever faithful to his
people and stood firmly against
all demands for appropriations
which were not we'll and COM
pletely justified. And the record
will show it.
More than this, in order to af-
ford some relief to the heavily
taxed property-owners Senator
German considered it no more
than just to put a larger proper
ton of the burden upon the more
wealthy corporations. He intro
duced and had enacted a bill
which increased by 20 per cent
the tax upon the gross receipts of
railroads earning over $4,000
per mile. This increase made a
large addition to the revenues Of
the State, amounting to over
s13O,Ooo a year.
But the largest measure of re-
lief to the taxpayers of Mary
land grew out of the investiga-
ton of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. The State
owned $500 shares of the capt.
tai stock of the Washington
Branch of the par value of
$3.50, 900. Since the failure of the
road in 1896 the Washington
Branch had ceased to pay divi-
dends, although Senator German
was convinced that dividendSl
were earned, and that the STATED
was not being fairly treated. He |
therefore introduced resolutions
The Washington times., 1911-08-25

come productive. That sale can
celed $4,000, 900 of the States
debt, and the people were re-
lieved of the annual tax for in
terest and sinking fund. They
owe that relief to Senator Cor
mans investigation.
In the Senate, Mr.. German be-
ing chairman of the Finance
Committee was naturally more
occupied with revenue measures
than with other legislation. Yet
he did not neglect laws looking
to fair elections and the right of
the people to manage their own
affairs. He was the author of
the primary election law of 1908,
being the first law for a legalized
primary in the counties ever pass
ed by the Maryland Legislature.
The best evidence of the value
of Mr.. Gorman's services in the
Senate next to the record is the
testimony of a careful and ever
observant eye witness. Such a
witness we have in the Baltimore
Suns Annapolis correspondent.
We find the following estimate of
Mr.. Gorman's work at Annapolis
in a dispatch to the Sun, referring
to the railroad investigation:
"From the first move in the af-
fair down to the present time
(March D, 19o6), Senator Cor
man, jr., has pursued his course
with admirable judgment and
self poise and without any sus-
picion of ulterior or improper
motives and without any taint of
politics. One of the conspicuous
features of Mr.. Gorman's char
acter is his intense earnestness.
when he undertakes anything he
does it with all his might and with
lsingleness and honesty of pur-
