NEWS OF WALLSTREET
Hot Weather and European War Scares Depress
Market, but Recovery Soon Comes

New York, July 9-The phenomenally
hot and uncomfortable weather last week
would have been trying enough in any
circumstances to the patience. the nerves,
and the temper OF Wall street. But in
the fore part of the week there was a
good deal Of news of unfavorable char
acter from the point Of view Of constant
spectators, and this added to the strain
placed upon the financial community or
Iat least the speculative financial COM
munity.
Surveying the results of the week in
their entirety it must be said that their
chief effect seems to have been to bear
witness to the sound and stable position
OF the present stock market and the
general state Of affairs. and from this
people who are inclined to regard the
business future with underlying optimism
will naturally feet encouraged in their
convictions.
The most notable event of the week
was, of course, the corn crop scare.
It came Unexpectedly, even If people IA
miliar with tradition in Wall street re-
membered that a crop scare OF some kind
not infrequently occurs during the ad-
journment of the stock exchange over
the Fourth of July The greater num-
ber of people who had the patience to
read and analyze the stories of injuries
to the corn crop with which the financial
district was filled on Wednesday did not
see any particular reason in them for
such a violent rise in the corn options
as took place.
Season Is Yet Early.
The sole fact was that the corn crop
had been called upon to pass through
several days OF very hot and dry wealth
er, but the corn season is still early,
the crop is not yet at the critical point
Of "tasseling," ind all trustworthy ad-
vices stated that corn could go from
one to two weeks more without extended
injury. Still, corn prices were up 8
cents a bushel, and the newspapers fair
ly boiled with sensational stories of dam
age. All this served t6 depress security
prices even If 1t was obvious that the
jump in corn was mostly que to the
partial retirement of the immense specu-
lative short interest in the commodity.
To add to it all Europe turned up with
one of its chronic and what seems to
people on this side Of the Atlantic ex-
ceedingly foolish stock market fiurries
over diplomatic difficulties. Montenegro
was mobolizing troops and threatening
Turkey, Germany, France, and England
were at swords points over Morocco.
There was nothing in this that would
have caused the sale OF a single share
Of stock by an American speculator, but

Boston, July s.-The Boston Athenaeum
has within few days become the owner
of the oldest collection of books in New
England. If not in America. This is the
famous Kings Chapel Library of 1888.
This library mas been in the custody of
the Athenaeum since 1923, but 1t was not
until a short time ago that the pro-
prietors of Kings Chapel formally re-
linquished all claims to ownership.
This library had its origin in the ex-
traordinary energy of Rev. Thomas Bray,
who was somewhat noted. After grad
uatiig in 1918 from Oxford he became
curate of little parish and first attract
ed attention by a pamphlet on some ao-
struse theological point in regard to the
catechism. Later he announced that he
was going to write a pamphlet on the

CAPT. KIDD MALTGNED7.

Cambridge, Mass, July s.-Capt.
Kidd. Of pirate fame, was an hon.
est-hearted, conscientious, elderly
man and the victim OF "wild mis-
representations" according to Sir
Cornelius Neale Dalton, who sets
forth his views in his new book.
THE Real Capt. Kidd; a Vindica-
tion."
"a typical sea captain Of his
day." writes Dalton, ''he was IN
duced against his better judgment
to embark on an impossible enter
prise, which, after the manner OF
his kind, he doggedly tried to car
ry through. For his pains he was
ignominiously hung in chains, and
has ever since been held up to
execration as an arch pirate. 1t
would be difficult to conceive any
wilder Misrepresentation Of the
poor mans doings."

ATWOOD TO TAME
UNRULY MACHINE
Aviator Awaited to Try Out
New Aeroplanes.

There was considerable excitement in
Signal Corps circles yesterday over the
antics OF the new Wright-Burless aero
plane in its first trial at College Park
Saturday, when Lieut.. Milling. and w.
Startling Burgess made an aerial fip-f1op
which nearly ended in a tragedy.
1T was nothing at ALL" laughed the
Officer-aviatOr, who admitted, however,
that when the machine made its crazy
somersault and reeIed drunkenly in the
wind, his heart beat a little faster. The
new flier was as difficult as a broncho to
break in. The engine baked when the
machine was sailing about thirty feet
from the ground, and the front planes
crashed to earth.
The aeroplane is almost a wreck, and Is
laid up in the hangar for extensive re-
pairs. New parts from the factory at
Marblehead, Mass. are necessary, and
Mr.. Burgess, who was pilot on the biplane
when it developed its disastrous cranki-
ness, left the city last night to get them.
Second Army Accident.
1t was the first time since the Wright
machine shattered a propeller at Fort
Myer three years ago, and dropped to
earth. killing Lieut.. Tom Selfridge and
badly injuring OrvilIe Wright. that any
accident has marred army aviation
about Washington. College Park has
hitherto been free Of the slightest mis-
hap.
After thanking his lucky stars he had
not reaped a crop Of broken bones from
the fall, Lieut. Milling jumped out OF bed
yesterday morning IN his apartments at
the Toronto, and was jocularly greeted
by his room mate and fellow aviator
Lieut. Arnold. IN this way:
''How's your nerve this morning? sup-
pose you're going to be air shy after
this, eh?''
My nerve is all right" replied Mill
ing. TN be cutting a few capers to-
morrow, especially If Atwood arrives.
Just watch me-"
At the present time there is a feeling In
army circles that the task of tanning the
new Wright-Burgess aeroplane should be
left to Harry Atwood This brings back
the eternal question, when is Atwood
coming? He is an employe Of the
Wright Burgess Company, and has been
assigned to the task of tuning up and
trying out the army machine, and will
teach its mysteries and subtleties to the
army flyers. Whether he flies here or
comes in the more conventional fashion
of railroad travel Atwood cannot stay
away from Washington much longer,
and Mr.. Burgess, proprietor Of the COM
pany. which employees him, states he is
expected here to-day.
Purchase New Machines.
There are now four Wright Burgess
aeroplanes nearly ready for delivery to
the government, as it will be seen the
government is investing heavily in the
new make, which is a replica of the
Wright brothers creation in all details
except the engine.
A new machine has arrived at the Col
lege Park aerodrome, tho invention of
E. NJ. Yates, of Norman, Okla. 1t is a
monoplane with some novel features, in
cluding an arrangement OF propelling
planes by which a principle Of automatic
control has been worked out.

strong Fists Needed.

From the st. Louis Post-Dhspatch.
Miss Ella Wilson, the mayoress of
Hunneweu, Kans., is almost pathetically
demonstrating the fact that government
rests ON force. She has the law on her
side, but that is useless unless there ara
strong fists behind it. Herycouncilmen
laugh at her and she has no masculine
marshal to throw them out Of the council
chamber.

Atlantic City, July 9.-Harry N.
Atwood and Charles Hamilton, the
aviators, had their closest call with
death since their arrival here, and
were forced to postpone their fight
to Washington again this morning.
Engine trouble, which impaired
the lifting power of Hamilton's BIZ
plane, dropped them to the mead
ows back of Ventnor City at 10 10
lo'clock, swapping off both pro-
pellers, twisting the standards, and
smashing the tail and landing
shafts. Both aviators were badly
shaken up, but otherwise uninjured.
MACHINE ARRIVES.
They had intended flying at daylight.
! To avoid delay by high tide along the
beach Hamilton's aero, rushed here from
Waterbury, Conn, by automobile, was
taken to the aviation field at VentnOr
upon its arrival at o'clock last night.
From here they intended flying at day
! break.
Inspection OF the engine showed some
thing to be wrong when they reached
the aerodrome at o'clock this morning.
1 For three hours they tinliered with the
machinery. At o'clock they tried TO
start The engine wouldn't perform. They
tihkered again and attempted to get up
shortly after o'clock. This time they
established a low altitude record, not ris-
ing more than twenty feet from the
ground.
When they inspected the engine after
this performance Hamilton believed he
had solved the difficulty. He discovered
that the cap Of the third cylinder had
dropped inside. It was replaced and at
1905 they left the grounds confident Of al
least accomplishing their run
For a quarter Of mile all went we'll

Crashes to Ground.
Atwood tried vainIy to coast to the
a plummet. hitting the soft mud with a
crash. The machine struck the ground
on the very tip of its rudder, tearing
away the connecting rods to the planes,
ripping away sections of the landing
shafts and sending the propeIlers flying
in small pieces.
Hamilton received the biggest shock.
He was spilled over backwards when the
back of his seat gave away. His quick
presence of mind in grabbing hold the
thin wires that support the standards
was the only thing that saved him from
falling under the aero.
The hundred enthusiasts who gathered
around the wreck assisted in pulling it
back to the aerodrome. Mechanicians
were dispatched to the Ocean Pier to
secure sections of Atwood's own machine
to repair the damae~ = ney were still
working on the machine at nightfaIl
Both are undaunted by their experience
and expect to continue to Washington
tomorrow.
