The aeroplane is not powerful enough tO take up a passenger in addition fo McCurdy and the wireless outfit Me- Curdy is an old telegraph operator.

 McCurdy and Beachy are scheduled to make their usual exhibition flights this afternoon. Beachy may have some more daredevil stunts up his sleeve, but he never tells his plans in advance. He lets the inspiration seize him when he's in the air.

GOVERNOR BALDWIN TALKS
 ON ART OF TEACHING

the same method, but they certainly must not assume much as to what their scholars already know. Over and over again must the aver age child be taught the same thing, in order to fix 1t clearly in his mind. but gives it beaten floor on which self building can be safely and surely based in future years
 How many of our school children really know the three R's? And what else is so we'll worth knowing?
 I would advise you to trim the fringes of education. See that the the child, and leave the fringes for him to sew on in future years if he finds time and will, so to ornament his days.
 3. Do not magnify the importance of final examinations. To many, in every stage of education, they are made a needless terror. To many, of slow-working minds, to demand an immediate answer to an unexpected question gives a shock to the whole mental apparatus, and seems to par alyse the power of thought. I had far rather trust the opinion of a ca pablo teacher who has had long per sonal acquaintance with a child, as to his fitness for promotion to high CT grade or class. than any evidence elfcited by an examination. Cram ming may give the examination a false appearance. Nervous anxiety may give it. a false appearance. A ieisurely habit of mind may give it a. false appearance. All allowances must be made before any examination can be made bar to further oppor- tunities for further progress.
 I confine myself today in this brief odd <1 &a op many which might suggest themselves to you and to me.
 The great things for you to insist on, if I am right in the conclusion of my own study and experience as scholar and as teacher are:
 1. That our school teachers should speak and write good English
 2. That they should not try to teach too many things; but rather making teaching thoroughly whatever is taught, the main end in view.
 B. The avoidance of laying too much stress on the results of final examf- nations.
 Take these hints for what they may be worth. You have dedicated your lives to the work of instruction. My main work has always been something else. Two days a week for most of my life I have given to teaching; four days to quite a different profession. I am. therefore. from one point of view less qualified than you to judge of systems of education. From an other, am better qualified.
 The man who would comprehend the size and the lines of a mountain must stand far away from 1t. He can thus compare it with other objects of different kind.s He can see the lights and shadows, that diversity its surface, better than if he were in the glare, of the light or the gloom of the shadow
 taken me far from the field of educa- tion. I have the far view; you the near one. There are advantages in each.

BUSINESS MEN WILL FIGHT FOR
 ONE COMMISSION
Judiciary Committee Said to Favor Double Commis- sion by Ballot of 6
 to ,
The Business Men Hope to Win Over One Man and Thus Assure a Majority Report in Favor of the Better Plan.
Especial from United Press.)

New Haven, May 13-With the leg islative committee on judiciary ready to hand in a majority report for two commissions to regulate the public service corporations of the state and a minority report favoring single all- powerful commission, the United Press today, interviewed the leaders of the State Disbursements association, to whose campaign for regulation of cor porations doings public business is generally credited the activity of the legislature on the subject.
 Almost unanimously, the selected business men said they would fight in the legislature for a single committee bill with teeth in it.
 By Andrew R. Jones. of Danbury,
 president of the State Business
 Mems Association:)
 "A double-headed commission, one to regulate railroads and a second to regulate all other public utilities is not satisfactory to the State Busi- ness Mems Association. We will fight for the single committee plan.'' (By Ralph O. Wells, Hartford, Attor-
 ney for the State Business Mems
 Association.)
 'I prefer the single committee and expect to work for the minority re- port in the Legislature. The single committee idea is the main point in the Business Mems bill but we would take the double commission as last extremity as better than nothing
 T understand that the committee intends to make oyer capitalization of public service corporations a crime by statute This is satisfactory to the State Business Mems Association But we will fight for the single com- mittee idea
 By Norman F. Allen, Hartford, lead-
 ing businessman and prominent
 nf ha fn P,1Si
 Association
 "I am not certain that the Judiciary committee is going to report for two commissions. They ought to be given a chance to make their report first. I have full confidence that the commit demand-and through the State Busi- ness Mems Association they have de- manded a single cOmmitte
 We have the word of majority of the legislators that they will not stand for anything that is not effec- tive regulation of public service cor porations and I am willing to de pend on the members of the General Assembly to keep their word''
 It leaked out, today, that the Bus mess Men believe they have a high hope of turning the tide at the 11th hour. The Judiciary committee is said to be divided on the doublehead and. single committee ideas 6 to D. The Business Men hope to bring over to their side one more member and later to force a majority report on the single commission plan.
 The committee was supposed to stand 8 to 3. The intimation that the Business Mems bill had five adher- ents in committee, today instead of three, is said to indicate that the majority report of the committee may yet favor the Business Mems bill.

HAMILTON HELPED CAPTURE A TOWN
 FOR INSURGENTS.
General Madero Presented Him with a Watch and General Diaz Sent
 Him to Jail
Hamilton Entitled to Fall Only 20 Times, Has Ex-
 ceeded His Share

When Charles K. Hamilton flew over some of the Mexican cities a couple of months ago, saw the plans of all the Federal Qualifications, the strength of the troops, etc, and then published them all in the Fl Paso newspapers, he hadn't the slightest idea that he was furnishing priceless information to the Insurrectos. whose headquarters are at M Paso Of course not.
 That's why General Francisco Ma dero, leader of the revolutionists, sent Hamilton beautiful gold watch. And that's why the noted aviator was clapped into jail when he foolishly ventured over the border 8 short time afterward.
 Hamilton, who is a daily visitor at the Aerodrome, tells with glee Of his experiences in Mexico. He saw a great deal of the guerilla warfare in that country and his sympatnies are all with the InsurrectCs.
 His trick in giving the revolution ists all the necessary information about their opponents was probably the first actual use of an aeroplane in warfare. It has a very important result. It disclosed the unsuspected weakness of the Federal troops in one of the towns, and led to the immediate storn1ing and capture of the town by the Insurrectoe.
 Hamilton probably holds the world s record for height, distance, and num- Der of falls He has had 27 tumbles in all, five of them very serious,s and the others all too high to be pleas ant One fine November day he tum- bled 800 feet into the Hudson river. That time he was hangingsonto a kite that was being lowed by a tugboat
 Another time he was up in diri- gible and it burst. Hamilton and the framework of the dirigible hit the ground simultaneously.
 Another time when up in a dirigible. it caught fire Again he was let down to the ground with all the grace and deliberation of a bullet.
 His worst fall of all occurred sev- eral months ago at Sacramento, Cal, where his Wright flyer crashed to earth from a distance of 300 feet. It gave Hamilton the worst fall of his career His wife saw it from the grandstand.
 Hamilton said that this accident was due to the tremendous power of his motor. He turned it on full strength too suddenly, he says. The engine developed a theoretical speed of 120 miles an hour,-that is, it blew back 
 gale, combined with the natural wind, actually blew the tail completely off the Wright flyer.
 This threw a great strain on the forward plane, which snapped, and the machine came to the ground with a fearful crash.
 "Only about one out of 20 falls are fatal" said Hamilton to a Farmer re- porter. 'It really isn't so unsafe.
 "No, a fail doesn't take the nerve out of you,'' he said, in response to a question, providing you know what was the cause of the accident Of course if your aeroplane behaves in a mysterious manner, and keeps you guessing, and if you never can find out the reason for your fall, then you are scared.
 '.But if you know what your trouble was-then you simply make your mind up not to do it again. You then keep on flying-until you tumble again.

AVIATION EXHIBITION
 TO INCLUDE TOMORROW
McCurdy This Afternoon, to Attempt to Operate Wire less Outfit from His Machine - Management De- clares that Lieut.. Fickel Will Be Taken Up by Beachy, Tomorrow, to Attempt Target Shooting.

That the aviation meet will be ex- tended to include Sunday was an- nounced today by Christopher J. Lake and T. T. Futile, representing the Bridgeport Aerodrome and the Curtiss Amusement Company.
 All arrangements were completed to- day to give a splendid program of spectacular flying stunts at the aero drome tomorrow afternoon, and it was announced that mo extra charge will be made for grand stand seats, but that the general field admission will include grand stand as we'll.
 Before two such celebrated flyers as Beachy and McCurdy leave Bridge port we want the general public,-the working people who are busy through out the week,-to have chance to see the flying.
 we realize that there are thousands of people in Bridgeport who want to see these aviators in action, who haven't had a chance to get away any weekday afternoon. It is for the benefit of these that we are extending the meet to Sunday and are reducing the admission price to make one fee cover both admission and grand

MANSLAUCHTER
 IS THE VERDICT
 AGAINST WOMAN
Jury Declares Mrs. Dodge Guilty in Sensational Vermont
 Murder Trial Widow of Former Sheriff Con- victed of Killing Painter at
 Her Own Home
Especial from United Press.)

NOpScIdi lTCIn On1IeO HTeSS.J
 Guild Hall, Vt, May 13.-After one of the most remarkab ble murder trials ever held in Vermont, Mrs. Florence M. Dodge, widow of a former sheriff and prominent man of affairs in Lun- enberg. was, today, convicted of kill ing William Heath, a painter, while he worked in her home in Lunch liberated long over the degree and when court convened shortly after nine o'clock, this morning, brought in a verdict of guilty of manslaughter.
 With the close of the case there stands out more prominently than Dodge kill Heath?' % but it is impro- bable the question will ever be an- swered. The state made no effort to prove a motive and Mrs. Dodge has maintained all along that Heath kill ed himself either Intentionally or ac- cidentally by dropping the former sherifS revolver on the floor.
 Mrs. Dodge, who is over 50 years old, was one of the most respected members of the community. She her self spread the alarm when Heath was killed, telling the neighbors he had shot himself.
 Her version was accepted until it W oSo uiSSOFCi cu lAdl lhc peIHleT Idu been shot in the back and then the widow was arrested and charged with murder. She calmly maintain ed her innocence but was indicted. She was released. under heavy bail and right up to the beginning of the trial busied herself in the social and church affairs of her home town . Throughout the trial the accused wo- man remained composed and cheer full until yesterday Then, during her attorneys plea for acquital, she broke down and cried and she re- mained in a highly nervous state all night.
