GRAND JURY SESSION
WILL Be SHORT

When the grand jurymen meet
Monday to consider cases awaiting
their action, there will be less work
to do than at any grand jury session
for many months. This condition has
been caused by the extra session of
the January term which cleaned up
many cases.
There are eight men, some of them
in Jail and some out on bail. now
awaiting the action of the grand jury
Walter Gilman foreman on the Cay
use ranch of Will NJ. Peterson, is ac-
cused of stealing two horses and is
out on bail furnished by his employ
er. Amos Thompson of Milton, is in
Jail charged with grossly disturbing
the public peace. Thompson was once
sentenced to the penitentiary but was
paroled by Judge Bean. His parole
expired about a month ago and he
proceeded to get drunk and celebrate
his freedom from restraint AS far
as can be learned, all he did was to
let out a few Indian war hoops and
crack his heels together in the air,
but the people have no love for Amos
and he was sent to the county Jail
under $500 bonds to await the action
of the grand jury.
The Echo justice court sent two
boys to be Investigated, young Nc
Cullough and Gulliford, charged with
hustling cattle. Helix and Pilot
Rock both have a man to be passed
upon, the former R. NJ Vermillion,
accused of forgery, and the latter
Jack Flanty, the man who last Sun
day went on a burglarizing rampage
A man who gives his name as Rose
but who has gone also under the name
of Casey is in Jail charged with rob-
bing the house on the mountain oc-
cupied by the government trapper
The eighth man is the Finlander who
recently threw a rock through the
window OF the Schaefer jewelry store
and made away with several articles
of jewelry.

vented had they been known in time.
But we have not realized that there
Is chronic lack of sufficient food,
with the slow starvation of families
who cannot buy quite enough meat
and bread to sustain their vital ener-
gies and are gradually falling behind
and gradually succumblng. This Is
a new condition in his land of rich
farms, flock-covered hills and herded
praries.
This report shows that there were
$4,000 people constantly sick last
year. in New York-people that the
charitable societies knew about-that
is to say. one in every forty of the
whole population. The estimate is
that 27,000 die of clearly preventable
diseases. Half a million people get
charitable relief Of some sort in New
York every year-that is to say, one
in every nine of the population; and
the estimate is that private, munich
pal and state charities spend in the
city $35. 100000 a year, which is
$3.16 for every inhabitant. The hu-
man meaning Of these figures and the
solution Of the problem which they
present are made vividly clear in
series of articles by Henry Oyen, now
appearing in the Worlds Work.

EX-MAYOR OF SALEM
ADDRESSES MINISTER'S
Says Ministers Face Important Social
Question Of Today-Good Citizens
Never Guided by Policy.

"In an address before the ministers
of this city recently, says the Salem
Statesman, ex-Mayor George F. Rog-
ers, speaking on the subject of 1.-The
Church and the Civic Life" said in
part
THE church's relation to the social
life which of necessity involves that
of the civic life, is, to my mind, one
of the most important social prob
lens before the world today.
The great force which makes prob
ress in the world is civilization, and
the only civilization agency is reli-
gion. Without 1t the boasted achieve
ments of science, and the spread of
democracy and brotherhood are but
vapor in the storm.
81 have always said that when a
man doffs the coat of layman and
dons the frock of a minister of the
gospel, he does not and should not
put down the septre Of citizenship.
but on the contrary, owing to his add
ed responsibilities in the community,
his obligations of citizenship become
all the greater. And when l speak
of obligations of citizenship l do not
mean that passive citizenship-that

rection of the Aero Club of Ameri-
ca
The national council of the Aero
club of America selected the place at
a meeting today and ratified articles
Of agreement by which "the Aero

representative of America in the Fed
Grafton Aeronautique Internationale
and as such shall have the duty Of

fairs
The aero club is granted a major
ity membership in the contest COM
mittee, which must certify the worlds
records and take full charge of events
in which any international aviator is
entered for competition in this coun-
try.
Kansas City was chosen as the
starting place because it has large
grounds and is more accessible and
more convenient to the gas supply
than Omaha, its closest competitor.
San Francisco was rejected as a sea
coast city. st. Louis has had the race
twice and no other competitors were
seriously considered.
The dues of the reorganized asso-
citation were cut from 800 to $50,
but the executive committee was en-
powered to levy on members for de-
ficiency to any amount not exceeding
$50 additional per clug. A motion to
apportion representation according to
the numerical strength of the constit-
uent clubs was defeated. Each club

SPOKANE MAN WILL
NAVIGATE IN AIR
TO CROSS CONTINENT
IN OWN INVENTION
To Complete Arrangements Soon for
the Manufacture of working Model
of Hclicopter-To Start This Fall.

DR.. w. Z. S. Coyne, president of
the Coyne Helicopter Airship COM
pany, expects to cross the continent
in an airship of his own invention
this fall, says the Spokane Review.
Il will go east" said DIR. Coyne,
within the next few weeks to COM
plete arrangements for the manufac-
ture of practical demonstrating mod
el for my helicopter airship. The air.
ship will be built to accommodate
from four TO six men and after dem
onstrating in the larger eastern cit
les | expect to fly back to Spokane"
Patents on his machine have al
ready been allowed by he government
patent office in Washington and
plans for the first one are under con-
sideration. The airship will be cir
cular in shape, about IL feet in di-
ameter, with a perpendicular mast
running upward from the center of
the passenger car, supporting fans
a diameter of 12 feet. The fans will
be operated by four engines. prob
ably of the Gnome type, while a fifth
Gnome engine will supply power for
the horizontal drive.
According to the plans the revolu-
tions of the upper fans will raise the
machine, while the horizontal pro-
peller drives it forward. If the hopes
of the inventor are realized il will be
possible to hold the machine at rest
at any altitude and raise and lower
it at will.
Curved Planes.
The planes will be curved bow kite
partitions with transverse antispill
strips to prevent the escape Of COM
pressed air when in moion. The to-
tai weight will be about 1850 pounds
and the construction Of the parts un-
der heavy strain will be of steel, all
others being of magnallium. Mono
plane, biplane or multiplanes may be
used.
A hellicoPter machine was built
some years ago by j. Newton Will
liams of New York and successfully
lifted. 1t is estimated that a ma
chine Of this type, with 100 horse
power, he same horsepower as Dr..
Coyne's machine will have, can travel
at a speed of from rs to 100 miles
an hour.
The Coyne helicopter can be man.
ufactured by almost any automobile
plant. DR.. Coyne expects TO begin
manufacturing the machines imme-
diately after the first demonstration
and will sell them a 100000.

but to a member Of the community;
thus he breaches through me to the
community. To Robinson Crusoe on
the lonely island he would preach one
kind Of a sermon. to me he would
preach another. Leaving out his good
man Friday, Robinson Crusoe could
do little harm save to himself; his
wrongs could reflect no harm upon
others; every wrong I do myself.
however, wrongs still another, just as
surely as a drop Of carmine dropped
into the pool will add its tint of pink,
however delicate. to the color of the
whole.
81 cannot sin then, and say it is
personal matter and none of anybody
else's business; it is anybody elses
business. So when you preach to
your congregation Sunday morning
you are reaching the community in
the only way you can reach it, through
the individual. When you preach to
the community, what Is more natural
than that you speak of community
Ills. If there is a fostering sore upon
the body polite, why should it not
it be rooted out however severe the
abrasion? \ good citizen would wish
it out; why should not good
preacher urge it out? Is it not his
duty as teacher, a man who stands
for righteousness as opposed to evil.
to condemn the unfit, to help drive
it from the community as Jesus drove
the traders from the temple?
If 1 were a preacher and felt that
my mouth would have to be stopped
against the ills that afflict my COM
munity, because my words give Of
fense in those Of the church, I'd still
'forsake that which is evil and cling
to that which is good" and resign.

H. F. Dawley of this city was among those in attendance at the special meeting of the directors of the Con necticut State Automobile association held at the headquarters of the Auto mobile club of Hartford, Thursday af- ternoon. Now that the legislature is in session and there is a prospect of changes in the automobile law, which for the most part is regarded as satis tory, the matter of taxation was dis cussed. Vice President c. H. Gillette presided. He made the statement. that automobilsts desire very little change in the present law. The present rate of taxation was a matter of discus sion and as the situation now exists the automobilists have to pay the reg ular automobile tax not to mention that imposed by the assessors. This whole matter is to be thrashed out by the association.

New London Italian Women Get Rid oi
 Their Coin in Peculiar Ways.

The New London city court has a peculiar case which was continued on Friday for further evidence. Mrs Sebastina Gratiere has been arrested for the larceny of ss0 from Frank Bar racci, the theft having taken place a week or ten days ago.
 It seems that woman named Paulina claiming to have supernatural powers came to New London and said that for money she could 5rinG back lost treasures and lost husbands. She got $500 from Mrs. Pasquaie Pace to reveal the location of a lost fortune s20 from Mrs. Frank Barracci and s3o from Mrs. Russo, the latter desiring to locate her lost husband. They met at the Barracci house last week to talk it over with the woman. She then told them that in order to have the spirits contented they should go to the banks of the Thames and throw handful of money therein.
 This it is claimed they did and while they were gone someone broke into trunk and stole the sS0. Mrs. Gratiere and Paulina were the only two who stayed at the house. Pauiina skipped from the city.
