Calling for sweeping investigation
into the official conduct of Mayor j.
w. Parks, Councilmen A. H. Newell,
w. o. McCaw and r. j. Hits and also
Chief of Police L. d. Templeman, also
for an investigation into the building
of the North Aberdeen bridge; the
Sixth street bridge; the ID street bulk
head and the improvement of streets
and sidewalks in the fill district the
city council last, voted to carry out
a request made by Councilman r. J.
Hits.
The reading of the request for a
committee to investigate the improve
ments above named which have been
made under the supervision of City
Engineer Charles w. Ewart, signed by
Councilman Hits, was the first i'm
portant matter to come before the
meeting. Hits request for the in.
vestigation stated that a large num-
ber of tax payers desired the work
be probed. In support of his petit
ton, Councilman Hits said:
"In the selection of committee to
investigate these improvements, I
have specified Hoquiam contractors,
because l did not desire to place any
Aberdeen men in a wrong position, as
they might at some future time be
compelled to do work under Ewart and
the position would be embarrassing" "
Councilman Larkins said that if the
matter was to be probed, it should be
done right and he suggested sending
to some large city for competent men
to make the investigation
Councilman O'Hare moved that a
committed of local citizens be select
ed to take charge of the investigation
and Councilman Hits said
Il brought up this matter to have it
investigated by competent men-not
business men. One man may know
how to make suit of clothes and yet
know nothing about how a bulkhead
should be built, while another may
sell you a cook stove-yet have no
idea how bridge is constructed. This
investigation should be by coApeteht
contractors, not dry goods or grocery
men,"
DO | understand this committee to
have absolute power to engage engi-
neers, or other help to assist in max.
ing this investigation asked Coun-
Gilman Eserer, to which the council.
men acquised and on roll call all vou-
ed in favor of it except Councilman
Hits and Sauers. The council then
voted Mayor Parks power to name
the committee which was opposed by
Hits and Sauers. Mayor Parks said
he would name the committee later.

WRIGHT STANDS STILL
in MID AIR
Fell After Attempting New Aerial
Feat But Was Uninjured-Ma-
chine Was Demolished.

Kitty Hawk, N. c., Oct. fS.-Or-
vile Wright narrowly escaped seri-
GUS injury this afternoon when the
aeroplane which he is testing at the
Kill Devil Hill camp lost its balance
at a heighth of IA feet and plunged
sideways to the sand. The aeroplane
was wrecked and Wright was pitched
out. Beyond seine minors bruises
and severe shaking UP he found that
he had sustained no injuries. His
greatest grief was that the machine
had been SO badly demolished that
it will take practically a day to re-
pair it. The accident was the finale
to an hours experimenting during
which the famous pioneer aviator
remained in the air for 1 minute and
Is seconds, breaking his own worlds
record for three gliding flights. He
performed this feat twice today and
each time remaining absolutely sta
tionany in the air az heighth of 80
feet for a period of over five seconds.

poena was issued by Deputy District
Attorney Doran on instructions from
Assistant District Attorney Ford.
Considerable mystery surrounds
this move on the part Of the Dis
trict Attorneys office. The fact
that an indictment is outstanding for
the arrest of Schmidt indicates that
The is already in custody and will
appear as a witness against the Nc
Namaras. Word was received today
at the District Attorneys office that
the Indiana authorities would make
an effort to eXtradite McManigal and
try him on a murder charge after he
has tetified atthe trial of James B.
Mcnamara Effort also will be made
to extradite John J. and James B.
Mcnamara and try them on similar
charges in case they escape convic-
ton in the California courts.
District Attorney Fredericks re-
fused to discuss his attitude in the
matter Winen court adjourned this
afternoon seven veniremen had been
passed by the defense. Two We're
held over pending ruling by Judge
Bordwell on the qualifications of jur-
ors and another was under eXamina-
ton.
George w. Mckee, temporarily
passed yesterday, was further ques-
toned and upon his declaration that
he Was against labor unions, was
challenged. The prosecution resisted
the challenge and Judge Bordwell
took the question under advisement.
The question is identical with the one
brought out in the Z. T. Nelson case
and is of the utmost Importance. A
I decision will probably be handed
down this morning. Otto A. lessen
was caught in the same net and his
case will be decided with McKee's.

ricultural products that are raised in
Southeast Missouri, Arkansas, Texas

touches at tire Cotton Belt shops in

to st. Louis en- December %. A to-
tai of 2,743 miles will be covered
and II states traversed. Many large
cities will be visited but merely as a
transfer point from one road to an
other. Mr.. Stewart stated that only
in the agricultural sections of the
states visited will the. car be open for
inspection as the people in the large
cities are not interested in agricul-
ture.

plete of it's kind ever seen and is ex-
lpected to arouse great interest in this
section of tire country. The stops will
be limited to a half day in each of the
towns visited. Twenty-three speci-
mems Of forage crops, rec, rough and
polished; peanuts, cotton seed oil,
crude and refined; so jars of fruits

that is grown in these states has been
attractively arranged in the car. Be-
sides the specimens descriptive litera-
les, town and localities are sending in
booklets, pamphlets and descriptive
circulars of their territory The emily
