We Are Behind
In Aerial Work.

Washington, Nov. 15-With an I'M
DERIVING note of bitterness. Gen.
James Allen, chief signal officer of the
army, declares in his annual report
that although the United States was
the first nation to recognize the aero
plane for military purposes and car
ried out the first official test of that
invention at Fort Myer in 1908 such
phenomenal progress in this art has
been made abroad that this country
has been left far behind in securing
practical equipment and organization
for use of this indispensable adjunct
to war
Failure to find the necessary officers
to be trained as aviaters and lack OF
funds are said to furnish the eXplana-
ton for this situation.
Gen. Allen says the most notable
progress in military aeronautics has
been accomplished by France, Ger
many and England. The French have
perfected a particularly effective aero
nautic corps which was thoroughly
tried out with 20 aeroplanes in recent
army maneuvers.
Attention is directed in the report
to the failure by the Senate to con-
firm the adherence OF the United
States to'the Berlin Wireless Tele-
graph convention, and the fact that 1t
is only through courtesy or by some
private arrangement that American
ships can communicate with wireless
stations In foreign countries. Gen.
Allen also refers to the great eontu-
sion that now exists in the transmits
sion of wireless messages ON the coast
of the United States, seriously inter-
fering with communication between
various coast defences and SHIPS at
sea and urged the necessity OF iegls-
lation to provide adequate control OF
all wireless telegraph operations with
special regulations for war conditions.

LIFE SENTENCE
Given 19-year-o|d Arthur
Bean, the Murderer
OF His Mother and Sister, March
9 Last, al Maidstone VI.
Trouble Over Property and Use of
Liquor the Cause.

Maidstone, Vt, Nov. 15.-Arthur
Bean, the 19-year-old boy, who con-
fessed, last Monday, that he murder
ed his mother and sister, Mrs. George
Bean and Miss Nina Bean, respective
~, was, late today, pronounced gull
ty of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to life Imprisonment at hard
labor in Windsor Jail. in the superior
court here. The youth had nothing to
say in regard to his sentence, nor did
he display any emotion when it was
declared.
Judge Fred NJ. Butler, who presided
q the trial said that the most char
liable view he could take of the affair
was that the defendants mind had
.dwelt upon the loss of property that
his father had willed to him and had
been excited and controlled by pas
sion. This condition" the Judge add
ed, was stimulated by the use of
Intoxicating liquor furnished by his
own brother The evidence was clear
beyond question of doubt that a double
murder like this must have been pre-
meditated."
The crime, which was one of the
most atrocious ever committed in this
part of the state, occurred in the Bean
home in Maidstone, on March 9. last
Late on the afternoon of that day
young Bean, with a rifle slupg over his
shoulder, entered the home Of neigh
Dor and calmly declared that his moth
er and sister had been shot and kill
ed and that he was hunting the muir
derers.

WEATHER AFFECTS
OMMISSION VOTE
Supporters Still Confident. However,
That the Proposition Will
Garry Today.

While the condition of the weather
had the effect of cutting down to-
DAYS vote among the very people
who would be inclined 10 favor the
form of government,
which was up for consideration at
the special election, the most ardent
supDorters declare, nevertheless, that
it will carry.
The vote most pronounced in IA
vor appears to be in the outlying
residence precincts. In the down
town districts the fight of the oppo-
sition was more pronounced and de-
termined. The city administration
left no stone unturned to defeat the
proposition, while a large part of the
Iiuuor interests were arrayed with
the opposition. There were in add
ton certain political elements work
ing with the hostile side.
The committee representative OF
the Rock Island business interests
developed an organized effort IN
most of the wards TO get out the
vote, and there were plenty of auto
mobiles for use on both sides OF the
question.
At this writing it does not look
as if the vote would be heavy, though
it appears to be increasing as the
day grows on. The greater the vote
the better the chances for the sue
cess of the proposition.
