In a tifty-mle gale OrvtHe Wright went
aloft yesterday and remained virtually
stationary in his glider, with which he is
conducting experiments in aerial stability.
He was up nine minutes and forty-five
seconds and maintained an altitude of
approximately 100 feet

seventeenth OF a series that began yes

and Ogilvie thrust the glider into the face
of the rising gale and it shot UP. Again
and again this was repeated, each flight
becoming longer, until for almost ten
minutes Wright scared like a brooding

ALLEGED PLOT
IN STEPHENSON CASE
Witness Tells of a Frame
Up" to MuIct Senator
From Wisconsin.

MILWAUKEE Wis. October oJ.-Tes-
timony concerning an alleged plot to fab
ricate evidence against Senator Isaac
Stephenson and then to offer to keep 1t
out of the present investigation for a
money consideration was given by NJ. J.
Regain. a Milwaukee business man, be-
fore the United States Senate committee
yesterday.
III. W. Wood private detective. and
Frank T. Souther had testified they We're
at a conference with Regain when the
latter told of a scheme whereby Robert
J. Shields associated in business with
Edward Hines. the lumberman, had come
from Washington to buy up the WIS
consir legislature. so that Senator Steph-
enson could be elected In March. 1909.
Met by Appointment.
The story which Wood and Souther
testified had been given them by Regain
was that Shields, coming from Washing
ton. had met Regain by appointment in
Milwaukee: that Shields said lie had UNI
limited money to purchase democratic
members of the legislature. who were To
remain away so that Stephenson might be
elected: that Shields wanted Regain to go
to Madison to carry on the deal. but that
Regain refused and Shields himself went.
Taking the stand after they had gwen
this testimony. Regain asserted lie never
had made any such statement, but, on
the contrary, Wood and Souther had
framed up the story with view or
obtaining money from Senator Stephen

BOARD OF CHARITIES
BROADENS ITS SCOPE
More Active Supervision of
Penal Institutions, and
Other Duties, Added.

The District board of charities shortly
will be called upon to assume a more &C
tive supervision over penal institutions in
the District. according to the belief of
members OF the board.
This belief is said to have been respon-
sible for the visit of George S. Wilson.
secretary of the board to Omaha Neb..
last week. where he attended the conven-
ton of the American Prison Association.
Mr.. Wilson. it is understood, is making
a special study of the subject of prison
management
Provisions Of the Law.
Under the law. charitable, correction
al and penal institutions in the District
come under the supervision Of the board
OF charities. However, the boards work,
SO far, has been concerned principally
with institutions OF charita BILE and COR
rectional nature.
The Jail, which heretofore came under
the supervision of the United States At
torney General. has been placed under the
board. but the Commissioners and es-
pecially the engineering department of
the District, are eXercIs. ng the principal
control over the workhouse at Occoquan.
This is said to be due to the fact that the
workhouse has been largely an engineer
ing project so far and has not reached
the stage where it could be turned over
entirely to the board of charities.
Full Supervision Probable.
There is said to be probability of the
workhouse being placed under the board s
full supervision at an early date. When
the new reformatory is completed that
institution. also. will be placed under the
boards charge. The board will then have
the care of all prisoners in the District
with the exception of those who are
sent to the federal prison in Atlanta Ga.
With the Jail, workhouse and reforma-
tory under its supervision. the board of
charities VIII be required to give as much
attention to penal as charitable and cor
rectional institutions.

Compares Political Conditions.

When he rose to speak he compared po-
litical conditions in the United States to-
day with the political party conditions in
the Philippines several years ago. The
E.lks caught the spirit of the illustration
and applauded vigorously.
Most of the day the President talked
about farming. At Madison Lake he re-
ferred to the work beng done by Secre
tary of Agriculture Wilson to educate the
farmer In way that made hit with his
aud encc. IF you study all the things
that Uncle Jimmie Wilson in the Agri-
cultural Department says you ought to
study. he said, you will injure your
eyes and look like college professor,
and yet those things are things that are
essential to nc known i'll order that the
product per acre of the farms shall be in
creased. and that the mouths of the peo-
pie of the United States shall be fed fifty
years hence.
At Randolph one of the most amusing
incidents of the day happened. The Presi-
dent chatted informally with the crowd
about his car. He referred to the fact
that he was in a farming community. and
for fall pastures. The crowd voiced as
been fine.

At Mankato the President was driven
in an open automobile for more than
an hour through the streets in cold
heavy drizzle, and although he shows no
i'll effects of that trip, DIR. Thomas L.
Rhoades. his physician. had a few anx-
ious moments during the day. The Presi-
dents train pulled into Mankato just as
the rain began. Rather than change the
program the President entered the wait
ing automobile, refused to have the top
raised and ordered the procession to go
ahead.
He stopped for several minutes at three
schoolhouses. and when he alighted at
the Eiks Club for luncheon DR.. Rhoades
took him in hand Immediately. His great
coat was taken off and put on a steam
ing radiator to dry; the Offices of the
railroad were called up by teiephone. but
the private car was twelve miles out of
town, being turned around and the Presi-
dent went to luncheon in wet shoes and
socks

Minneapolis Streets Lined.

1t was still raining when the President
reached Minneapolis. but from the sta
ton to the Auditorium the street was
lined with thousands of persons. There
was applause and some cheering as the
President passed along the Illuminated
thoroughfare.
The Auditorium crowd gave the Presi-
dent a noisy greeting DIR. Cyrus North
rup, former president of the University
of Minnesota and former instructor of
Mr. Taft at Yale, presided. He pictured
the President as great progressive in
the matter of peace. I'm the control OF the
trusts and on the doctrine Of tariff rcvi-
sion on scientific basis. His mention OF
Col Theodore Roosevelt in connection
with the beginning of the trust prosccu-
tons called out prolonged cheering.
The President spoke on the relation Of
government TO business, repeating. in
large part the speech he made at other
cities. He also replied again to the
charge that he had set up the Supreme
Court with the understanding that the
judges would emasculate the antitrust
statute

been seen in the corridor with two young
women about this time, and there was
some reason for believing that he lad
been the actor in the matter, and had
been inspired by another member of the
same class who had reason to feel some
jealousy toward young Alexander. Il tn
midshipmen insisted that they had Moth
ing to do with the matter, and as t ere
was nothing but rather meager c,rcum-

TWO PLEBES HAzED

Through Appeal to an Up

ANNAPOLIS Md. October .5-The in
vestigation of the hazing of two plebes
in the presence of two young women.
which occurred in Bancroft Hall, Naval
Academy, Sunday morning. took an Off
cial turn when a board was appointed by
Supt. Gibbons to inquire into the whole
matter. The board is headed by Com
mander c. B. McVay. the senior assist
ant in the department of discipline, an
officer who has had more experience in
procuring evidence of hazing than any
other in the navy. While this board will
secure all possible evidence in the mat
ter. Supt. Gibbons is disposed to allow
the second class to take action in the
matter first. and will grant it reasonable
time.
The names of the plebes who figured
in the incident are W. d. Alexander and
D. c. Watson. The former is a son of
Maj. Robert Alexander. L. S. A.. who is
on duty connected with the Maryland
National Guard. and resides in Annapolis.
Young Alexander received most of the
hazinS. his roommate, Watson. being
merely required to stand at attention
with his face to the wall. Alexander did
nothing further than appeal TO an upper
class man in the matter. right given

nothing about the occurrence until they
learned of it through the press
Details Obtained.
The full details Of the hazing have be-
come known in an unofficial but relia BILE
way. Following the custom when this
kind of hazing is on foot. the upper
class man. who was accompanied by the
girls, ordered the p1ebes to face the wall
before he entered This is why the youths
cannot identify him. However, they
caught sight of his service stripes and
were able to say that he was second
class man. They were also convinced that
girls were present by the character of the
laughter that they heard. According to
the report. Alexander was compelled to
do everything that could he done before
girls, this being the wording of the state
ment. 1t consisted OF the old physical
stunts. such as No. Ii. and standing on
the head, and was continued for some
time. This is Il very serious phase OF
the case TO the authorities. as a board
