criminal and remedial laws of a state
VIII insure more efilcient service and
cure some Of the Ills that are of grave
public concern.
In many states the voters have In
large measure lost confidence In the
emciency Of legislative assemblies,
ana the Initiative and referendum
methods OF legislation have been in
voked as means to secure laws that
the legislature would not enact and
to veto legislation that in the public
mind was not wise or beneficial.
AT best. however. Initiating legisla-
ton by and referring laws to the peo-
pie Is cumbersome and not easy to
use. A companion to and supplement-
al OF these methods the power of the
executive should be strengthened by
giving to him the right to present
hills for the consideration of the leg
iative assembly.
IT the bills were not passed in
form substantially as represented, he
should have the right to submit those
bills direct to the voters at the next
general election for their approval or
rejection.
There would then be placed upon
the governor the direct responsibility
to carry out the pledges made to the
people In the platform upon which
he was elected and the promises made
by him in public addresses delivered
previous to his election.
There are other ways In which the
power Of the executive might be
strengthened to the benefit Of the pub
lie service. The two methods men
toned, however. are the more vital
and reference to the matters of les
ser moment has not been made"

Machine Crashed Into a Pine

Total Wreck
SOMETHING WENT WRONG
WITH MACHINE nEARALTA
Cross Continental Flight Came to a
Sudden Termination Early Today
Before Aviator Had Topped the
Sierras-Second Day Of Trip.

Alta, CAL, Sept. 12.-The cross-con-
tinental flight of Aviator Robert q.
Fowler was interrupted near here at
lO:O5 o'clock this morning by a fall
which resulted in a demolition of his
aeroplane and perhaps serious injury
to Fowler. The latter was brought to
Alta and while he claimed that his
injuries were confined to a strained
PACK, 1t is feared that he has been
hurt internally. The machine is a
wreck and cannot be repaired for a
continuation of the journey. Persons
In Alta and Dutch Flat witnessed the
fall and rushed to Fowler's aid. The
altitude at this point is $500 feet.
Fowler says the flight after leaving
Colfax was smooth and he entertained
every hope of successfully topping
the Sierras, despite the encountering
of contrary and perplexing air cur
rents.
When in the neighborhood of Alta
an dabout two miles east of Dutch
Flat, something suddenly went wrong
with the machine and it began going
round in circles and dipping to the
earth, getting completely beyond the
control of the aviator.
The aeroplane struck on top of a
large pine tree at the edge Of grove,
wrecking the machine which settled
swiftly to the rocky ground. Fowler
was caught in the wreckage.

Robert G. Fowler, who arrived here
last night at the end Of his first days
air journey from San Francisco en-
route to New York, slept as soundly
as II no attempt at making history
confronted him. He was up early to-
day and went at once to the hanger
where his biplane had been guarded
throughout the night.
His Start
San Francisco, Sept. 12-With
the steady trade winds Of the Pacific
at his back, Robert G. Fowler, the
first aviator to attempt a trans-conti-
mental flight, sped yesterday up the
fertile Sacramento valley and landed
at $3.50 o'clock last evening at the
foot of the white ramparts Of the
Sierras, the conquest Of whose sum
NIT may prove the ultimate test Of
success or failure for his attempt.
But with a brief halt at Sacramento
for oil and gasoline he drove his BIZ
plane high over the rolling foothills
and landed without single untoward
incident at Auburn, Calf, 1866 miles
from his starting point.
Sped by his mothers kiss and God
bless you," Fowler arose from the
stadium in Golden Gate park at 1887
o'clock. Sweeping in a circle over the
surf over the Pacific his air craft
swung like a compass needle until
his forward planes were notched in

Photographing Digestion.
From Science Conspectus.


J. Carvallo of the Marcy Institute
Paris. France, has recently succeeded in
making cinematograph X-ray pictures
showing the process of digestion in both
warm and cold blooded animals The
value of these results is obvious. as these
moving pictures gave us an actual view
of the interior workings of the human
body, and for the first time physicians
have been able to see an absolutely re-
liable reproduction of our organs in ac-
ton.
Many attempts have been made to pro-
duce this result. but they have failed be-
cause Of the difficulty experienced in OBJ
tanning the Roentgen pictures with expo
sures lasting but small fraction of a
second also because no suitable cine
matograph apparatus was available for
producing the pictures.
The animals under test were fed with
an alimentary paste or with their usual
food mixed with a basis of bismuth nj
trate. The results of these pictures have
been checked by special investigations
showing that the pictures are true photo
graphs OF the actual movements of the
organs. Mr. Carvallo has produced X-ray
pictures which are said to show the. di-
gestive process in the most differently
constituted animals.

The Origin of Greek Tragedy.
From the Saturday Review.


Prof. William Ridgeway has embodied
In book form his doctrine that Greek
tragedy did not arise from the Worship
OF D1onysus, but originated in the wor-
snip of the dead, and in particular in the
mimeuc spectacles performed at the
graves of deceased heroes I'm order to
win their favor and to encourages them
10 repeat the actions by which thew had
Denented their country or the country of
their adoption during their lifetime. The
| esluence 10 the contrary consists mainly
OF the statements of Aristotle and the
undoubted fact that the tragic drama at
Athens was indissolubly connected with
the worship OF Dionysus. But it is GER
tain that the worship of Donysus was
introduced In southern Hellas at a COM
paratively late date and came from the
indigenous inhabitants of Thrace There
fore II Prof Ridgeway can show that
the germs of tragedy existed in south
ern Hellas before that date he will have
gone ON, iong way toward proving his case
Ihe chief piece Of evidence in which he
trusts is the well known passage of He
rodotus concerning C1eisthenes, who
reigned at Sfcyon from about 5a5 B. c.
to about 500 B. c., and the bones of
Aorastus. Ihat astute ruler was anxious
to eject the remains of Adrastus from
Sicyon because he was an Argive But
the Delphic oracle would not permit this.
he therefore brought from Thebes the
DohcS VI hcIdiIppuS, VINO mad Killed two
OF the relatives of Adrastus and whose
presence might therefore be supposed to
be particularly Objectionable to the latter.
Further, it had been customary to honor
Adrastus by tragikos choros represent
Ing his sorrows. and by sacrifices. Cleis-
themes transferred the sacrifices to Mela-
nippus, and handed over the tragikos
choros to Dfonysus. The author suggests
that some such transfer occurred in the
case Of tragedy in general and that the
work of Thespis. the father of tragedy,
was really the release Of tragic perform
ances from their strict connection with
the shrines of heroes and their elevation
or degradation into separate form of
popular entertainment. He, so to speak,
moved the Passion Play" from Oberam-
mergau to the United States
The theory has a great deal to recon-
mend 1t. and 1T is supported by various
other pieces of evidence. One of the most
interesting, which we should like to see
more fully developed, is the suggestion.
based on the passage of PolIux, that the
dual character of the tragic drama is
shown by the combination in the theater
of q thymele and bomos, uniting the
more modern worship of the god with
the more ancient rites paid to the mem
ory of deceased hero.
