ISRAEL LUDLOW'S TRIBUTE
Saws Machines Were at Fault
Himself Crippled.

Israel Ludlow, the first Of Americas
aeronauts to be seriously injured While
striving to bring the aeroplane t. d state
approaching perfection. was deeply touched
last night when Tribune representative
saw him at the Hotel Astor and told him
Of the deaths yesterday Of Arch HoXsey
and John B. Moisant. Ludlow, who is
crippled for life as a result Of his own
daring In the realms Of aviation, was
stunned when he heard Of the tragic ending
Of the lives OF the two men, with both OF
whom he was personally acquainted. 1t
was some minutes before he could suffi-
ciently control his voice to speak.
Both HoXey and Moisant were men Of
great daring, and what they have accom-
pished during the short time they were
flying is nothing short OF wonderful" he
said. Aviation owes an incalculable debt
OF gratitude to these men for what they
have done and what they have sacrificed.
II is such men who by their devotion, their
fearlessness and their unselhshness advance
the cause Of science throughout the world y

thinking, perhaps, that these men were
victims Of their own recklessness. Such Is
not the case, however: the fault lies rather
with the machines. They are too weak In
vital points at present believe that they
should be built OF heavier material so that
II some part Of their framework should
break they would still be able to alight in
safety.
Il believe that the deaths Of Moisant and
Hoxey will do away with trick flying and
that the future work Of aeroplanes Will be
largely confined to speed records and en-
durance contests. although altitude records
will probably still be attempted

HEART RIGHT.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
This is serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble Is caused by an un.
expected thing and can be corrected II
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
""I was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware Of the
injurious effects of the habit till I
became a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble. Indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
Il continued to drink coffee. how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause Of my ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance l was rejected on ac-
count OF the trouble with my heart.
Then became alarmed. found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so

The change In my condition was re-
markable. All my ailments vanished.
My digestion was completely restored.

most important of all, my heart stead

mean that in event the dispensary was
not abolished an array of new faces
would greet the public from the de-
partment It is understood that the
new governor will refuse to lend the
pardoning power in cases of convicted
bootleggers and jointists. Policy of
the retiring administration has been to
parole for the Jail sentence in first
time convictions upon promise of the
culprit not to re-engage in the busi-
ness. The policy had the backing OF
the Oklahoma anti-saloon league, and
is said to have worked we'll. However,
there is a class of law violators in
every state, who are willing to try any
scheme at least once, and in vie of the
liberal policy the fellow who had not
been convicted could afford to take a
chance, knowing he could get away
with money fine.
The incoming governor will prob
ably devote section of his message
Ito a change in the banking law, at
least bankers of the state believe he
will Having been in the business, Mr.
|Cruce is regarded as able to detect
technical defects in the present stat
lutte. A committee of bankers recently
called on the governor-elect at Ard
more, and requested that he advocate
Reorganization of the state banking
board and relieving from its member
Iship all state officials. They did not
Icare whether the members were bust
mess men or bankers, no more than
majority of whom should be of the
same political party, but were anxious
THAT the regulation of state banks be
removed as far as possible from the
vale of politics.
Senator Reuben M. Roddie of Ada
will offer bill reducing the board
membership to three men, none to be
state officials, and leaving the assess
ments levied by the state banking
board with the individual banks pay
ling the same, bearing 4 per cent in
terest. Another feature of the Roddie
bill will be to- invoke reciprocal pro-
vision between state and national
banks. Under the national banking
law a national can not have more than
10 per cent of it's capital stock and
surplus in another bank, and it is the
desire to make similar provision for
state banks. Had this been the case,
it is stated, the state would not have
had to close bank at Kiefer recently.
