LIGHTS ON WARsHIP
AVIATOR ELY USES NEW BlPLANE
SUCCESSFULLY.
Lands Lightly on Big Platform Erected
On Deck of Cruiser Penn
syIvania.
Copyright. 1s11.l

San Francisco, Cal-Flying Curtiss
biplane, Eugene B. Ely made success
full landing on the cruiser Pennsyi
vania and an hour later rose from the
deck and flew back to Selfridge held,
twelve miles away.
The feat was accomplished without
a mishap. Not wire or bolt OF the
delicate mechanism was injured and
the seeming ease of the whole perform
ance lessened the spectacular effort.
At 1926 the lookout on the Penn
sylvania sighted Ely through the haze
and the ships roared a blast OF well
come. He came on at terrific speed
and moment later circled around the
fleet, dipping in salute to each ship,
and came up in the wind for the stern
of the Pennsylvania. He was flying
low as he neared the ship and dropped
down as lightly as a gull, striking the
platform about forty feet from the end.
The hooks which had been arranged
in the center pieces of the aeroplane
did their work perfectly, and the air
ship was brought to standstill within
25 feet. When Ely touched the deck
he was going at the rate of aboat 35
miles an hour, but so gradually was
the speed checked by the dragging of
the sandbags as they were picked up
in succession that he came to stand
still without disarranging any part of
the machine.
There was great outburst of cheers
when it was seen that the landing had
been successful and a rush of the Off
GERS, visitors and sailors to greet the
aviator.
In exactly one hour from the time
he landed Ely took his seat in the ma
chine and gave the word to let go. The
aeroplane swept down the 125-foot
platform at a high speed, dropped of
the stern with gentle dip and then
rose rapidly over the ships in the har-
Dor. The start was as perfect as the
landing had been. Rising to height
of 200 feet, Ely circled over the ex-
IRENE southern part of the city and
then headed straight to the aviation
field. He landed there at 1918.

Mt. Wilson, Cal, was also announced.
The observatory was established by
the institution.
Mr.. Carnegie also announced that a
telescope far more powerful than man
has ever made is now under construc-
ton for the Mt Wilson observatory.
With it he hopes to make possible the
discovery of still more celestial bodies.
Mr.. Carnegie declares that the
whole world is going to listen, and in
few years we shall know more about
the universe than Gallileo and Copern1-
Gus ever dreamed of. Il hope shall
live long enough to hear the revela-
lions that are to come from Prof. Hale
on Mt. Wilson"
Mr.. Carnegies latest donation to the
institution, like his first, is in bonds.
The institution was founded on jan
uary %, 1902, when Mr.. Carnegie gave
to board of trustees $10,000,000 in
registered bonds, yielding five per cent

Well Known Fort Worth Woman Kills
Divorce in Department Store.

Fl. Worth, Tex.--Shooting with the
GOODNESS and skill OF native born
Texan, Mrs. T. M. Brooks fred five
bullets into the body of Mrs. Mary Bin
ford, head Of the alteration department
of the largest fashionable women's
stores here.
Because of the GOODNESS and remark
able craftsmanship OF Mrs. Brooks the
affair has created a sensation here,
where all the principals are well known
and popular
Mrs. Brooks inquired for Mrs. Bin
ford, who came from the alteration de-
partment to meet her. From her muf
Mrs. Brooks drew the big-old-fashioned
revolver and a moment later the wo-
men grappled.
Mrs Brooks showed her victim back
against the wall, but in SO doing the
gun was discharged and the bullet
ploughed it's way through Mrs. Bin
ford's left hand Mrs. Brooks then
stepped back and fired four times with
the rapidity of machine gun, each
time aiming for her victims head and
missing by only few inches.
The second ball struck Mrs. Binford
in the left shoulder, the third one inch
higher, the fourth struck at the base
OF the neck, breaking the spinal YER
tebrae.
Before the woman could fall to the
floor Mrs. Brooks fired again, and this
time the ball struck Mrs. Binford be-
hind the ear and came out through the
top OF the head.
The waist worn by the dead woman
caught fire from the flashes from the
revolver muzzle and the body was bad
ly burned before clerks extinguished
the flames.
Before securing a divorce from her
husband about two years ago, Mrs. Bin
ford was wealthy and popular.
Both Mrs. Brooks and her husband
decline to make any statement that
would throw light on causes leading up
to the tragedy.

Christian Endeavor Society.
Lexington, Ky.-Denied a pardon by
the governor of his state, doomed to
remain behind the penitentiary walls,
while his clansmen go free, Henry

others were responsible.
This marks the end of the Goebel
murder case, and also the end of an
old epoch and the beginning of new
