to be followed by the immediate re-
vocation of the pilots license of any
aviator, who undertakes to fly in a
faulty machine, is a plan of the Of
ficials of the Aero Club of America

ton Of the aerop1ane used by John B.
Moisant and Arch Hoxsey, together
with the weather conditions, that pre-
vailed when these two daring aero

anime aeroplanes, instead of permit

the aviators themselves, they will be
ensured of more thoroughness. In
their haste to get into the air, the

Where Money Buys LIFE.

Some poor wretch, without money to
secure his spirits from becoming WIN
dering devils. with the price of his mis-
cradle life can purchase proper care
for his spirit Anything, In fact, can
be done If you have the money. II fs
this belief that causes the Chinamsn TO
commit suicide by taking his life on the
premises of his enemy to take vepee-
ance on him His spirit. he believes,
will forever haunt him. There is an
other reason also. He knows that as
sure as fate the officials will under
such circumstances come down upon
his enemy and strip him Of everything.
Poor Chinese have been known to sell
everything they possessed. tear down
their houses to sell the timber, sell or
rent out their wives and children and
even sell themselves to procure money
for the proper rites for the peace and
comfort Of the ancestral spirits. One
thing alone a Chinese will not do
namely. sacrifice his son.-Kenneth 3.

WAR VETERAN
SOLD HIS VOTE
Old Soldier Fearing Death Noti-
flies Judge Blair That He
Wants to Die in Peace
Especial from United Press,


West Union, O., Jan. Fearful lest
he might die without having a chance
to make his peace on earth, Alexan-
der Fleming, Civil War veteran who
is seriously i'll, today, sent his grand
son to Judge Blair to tell him that
for years he had sold his vote. He
did not know whether he had been
indicted but he asked that the court
act on his case at once SO that, if
his present illness should prove fatal,
he might die in peace. The grandson,
Jesse Fleming, first voter. also con-
fessed to having sold his first ballot.
Both were disfranchised.
Judge Blair, who last night order
ed a recess Of the vote probing Grand
Jury until next Friday, will make an
extra effort in the interim to catch
up with the arrangement Of men who
have been indicted. Over 200 con-
fessed yesterday, and he hopes to dis
pose of a like number, today. OF the
1900 who have been indicted, he has
now disfranchised over 1000. The re-
mainder he hopes to pass upon before
the Grand Jury reconvenes, Friday.

Of each house of the assembly to over

He acts as the immediate and only
direct representative of the whole
people of the state. What he disap-

to accomplish more quickly and mex

SLUM GIRL TIPS
OFF POLICE ON
ANARCHIST Den
BetrayS Outlaws Who Hold Lon
don Cops and Soldiers at Bay
i'm Pitched Bate For Hours
Especial from United Press.)


London Ian IA whale was used
to catch a spratt." This is the asser-
ton, today, of the London Express in
criticising the inability of 1,500 police,
three companies of Scots Guards and
the fire department, to checkmate a
handful of Anarchists until a pitched
battle lasting from early dawn until
afternoon had been fought in a crowd
ed section of the East Side.
Other papers voice the same criti-
cisTn, none seeming to understand
why such an enormous turnout of po-
lice and soldiers was necessary. AL
though the press does no more than
that London's boosted police force
proved itself a huge joke in yester-
days stirring drama in Sydney street.
Search Of the ruins has revealed, SO
far, only three Anarchist victims of
yesterdays fight. The report that
there were seven killed, six either by
suicide or in the flames of their burn
ing retreat and one by the bullets Of
the attackers, it now develops, was
spread by the police to help explain
their apparent ineficency. Two of
the dead Anarchists We're Fritz svarrs.
the Painter" The third has not yet
been identified. The body of peter
the Painter was not found until
early today. He was considered the
ringleader of the band Of outlaws and
there was much rejoicing when his
Identification was made positive.
Other outbreaks between the police
and Anarchists are declared to be i'm
minent The authorities have learn
ed that there are at least so confed-
crates of the dead Anarchists scatter
ed through the East Side and that
they are planning reprisals. The Or
der has gone out to effect their cap
ture at any cost and 500 detectives.
all armed, are now searching the sus-
pected quarters of the city.
The betrayal of the Sydney street
outlaws to the police came as a re-
suit of their mistreatment of a slum
girl, whom they had enticed to the
house. This girl told one of her rela-
tives and he tipped the police. At an
early hour Tuesday morning 300 po-
lice surrounded the block in which
ing began at their first advance upon
the desperadoes' retreat. One certain
result of the fighting will be stricter
immigration laws.
Home Secretary Churchill, today,
promised an immediate investigation
of the question. The Houndsditch
fight on the night Of December 16,
when three policemen were killed by
the gang of which yesterdays Anar-
chist victims were members and yes
terday's affair caused a tremendous
demand for the arming Of London's
police with something more effective
than the little truncheons they now
carry.
