WRECK CAUSED BY
EFFORT TO REGAIN
ONE LOST MINUTE
Maine Disaster Inquiry
Shows Excursion Was
Making High Speed.

GRINDsToNE. Me-. July sO.-That
the men In charge Of the Bangor and
Aroostook railroad excursion train
which smashed head on into a regular
train 1000 feet out OF this station. with
a loss OF eight lives, were making a
desperate effort to regain a minute of
lost time, appears from the preliminary
investigation in progress.
The regular train from Van Buren, had
the right of way, II Is claimed, and was
running on schedule without orders to
wait for the northbound excursion az
any point.
The excursion train could have passed
the regular at this station If It had
been on time. 1t was about, a minute
behind schedule, and an effort was
made to catch UP. Under ordinary con-
ditions 1t would have succeeded. But
this time weather conditions were ex-
traordinary and the train was heavy,
the result being that the excursion
failed to reach the Grindstone siding
and clear the way for the regular.
The State railroad commissioners are
investigating the wreck. They have
made every effort to ascertain the ex-
act cause OF the worst rail disaster the
State has had for a dozen years.
1t is possible that the Interstate Com
merce Commission also will conduct an
investigation.

WHALERS ORDERED
UNDER QUARANTINE,
CHOLERA FEARED
Vessels Entering New Bed
ford Will Be Held for In
spection Against Germ.

NEW BEDFORD. Mass. July 30
Fearing cholera the board of health
issued an order today that all whal-
ing vessels entering this port shall be
detained at quarantine until after
thorough medical inspection had been
made.
This step was taken at the sugges-
ton of DR.. Samuel H. Durgin of the
Boston board of health.
Hitherto 1t has been customary to
detain only those vessels coming
from foreign ports. Every summer
many New Bedford whaIers cruise
around the Hatteras grounds.
1t is feared that some of them will
speak an italian ship and send aboard
a message, buy provisions or in some
way come in contact with cholera
carriers.

Brewers Coming Here

Prominent brewers and their attorneys

are arriving in Washington today, pre-

the probe on What is beero' by Dr.
Harvey w: Wiley and his two asso-
ciates on the board of food and drug
inspection.
Realizing that the board room in the
Bureau of Chemistry building. in which
nearly all the hearings are held, would
not be large enough to accommodate all
those who will want to attend the in
vestigation. arrangements have been
made for the use of the large hall in the
hew National Museum building. The in
Iuiry will open there tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock.
I'VE propose, among other things, to
learn how much alcohol is used in the
beer made in this country said DIR.

OLD AEROPLAN IS
SOLDAT AUCTION
Ancient Machine Brings Five Dollars After Much Effort
on the Part of the Eloquent Salesman Charles
Baum New Owner
The auction Of an aeroplane is an &C

The auction Of an aeroplane is an ac-
complished fact.
A biplane that never did get very high
was knocked down by the auctioneer's
hammer at s.. 1t was all there but
the engine. Planes, rudders, steering
gear, seat and frames. oil tanks, and
guys lay in the storeroom Of Adam A.
Weschler, the auctioneer, who con-
Quoted the sale. He took the prospective
buyers and the big crowd that the red
flag always draws into the storeroom
and showed them the flying machine.
Then he auctioned 1t of. Charles
Baum, Of H. Baum & Son, 9l2 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, bid 1t in. He had few
competitors. Not many people want a
last years aeroplane-or any other
kind OF an aeroplane. This one was a
machine that DR.. w. W. Christmas. of
Washington, built about a year ago.
He has built new ones since, and it
was decided that this one should be
sold, for 1t was costing rent in the Ter
minal Storage Company's warehouse,
where it had been kept since last Sep
tember.
1t is said that it's parts could not be
utilized in the machine that DR.. Christ
mas is now working on. That fact
makes the auction Of the aeroplane a
remarkable fact. People frequently have
their automobiles auctioned off because
the machines are out OF fashion.
Now the Fashion.
There has got to be a fashion in fly
ing machines, too, and this auction,
though it is probably the first ever held,
shows that in a little while aviators'
wives will be saying:
My dear, we just must have a new
machine! That 1910 model is a fright!
l am positively ashamed to appear in
itr'
It wasn't Adam A Weschler's fault
that there was not more bidding. Mr.

Dark Clouds Fail to Hinder
Sunday Pleasures of
Romping Tots.

The clouds that shut out the sunlight
did not shut out the cheeriness of Camp
Good VIII today. The same blithe spirit
that prevails on clear days was in evil
dence.
Many Of the children went to the Sun
day schools in Brightwood this morning,
after enjoying brief stay in the SWIM
ming pool. Though none Of them has
Brightwood more than two Sundays,
because they are at Camp Good Will
but a fortnight, the Camp Good Willers
invariably form 4 fond attachment for
their teachers there

Patsy Is Improved.
1t must have been the spirit of Camp
Good Will, as well as TIE good milk
they gave Patsy. that has made a man
Of him. FTe has improved so much that
his old friends hardly know him.
Patsy is only nine months old, and
therefore can't very well wait on him
self. But everybody else in Camp Good
VIII can and does. When everybody
else is in Sunderland the night watch
man takes his turn and warns Patsys
midnight milk. So he has as constant
attendance as if he were a prince-which
Patsy doubtless will be when he is old
enough to select an occupation.
The Mount Pleasant Congregational
Church will send a delegation to con-
duct the religious services at the camp
tonight.
Camp Good Will has become a center
of interest, and more and more people
are seeing it every day. Most of the
visitors make q donation. They also
take many photographs.
Camp Is Advertised.
The children. es well as the visitors,
are advertising the camp. The other

Weschler used all the alluring arts Of
the auctioneer to make the competition
for the honor OF being the highest and
best bidder a fierce contest, not only
ton, but also for an escape from the
ignominy of being worsted in the first
auction Of an aeroplane.
Still only half a dozen made offers.
Mr.. Baum offered a dollar when Mr.
Weschler, after describing the aeroplane
in the most accurate yet attractive
language, asked What do I hear?'
Mr. Weschler looked at Mr.. Baum as
il he couldn't find words to express his
scorn for a man that would offer a
dollar for an entire aeroplane, so big
that It could ny over the Monument II
1t could fly at all.
But Mr.. Baum looked on unmoved,
while Mr.. Weschler cried:
An aeroplane, biplane, is 1t going to BE

Going, Going, Gone.
So Mr.. weschler went on until he did
hear q three, and a four. and. finally,
five. After which. despite his en-
treaties, pleas, threats, warnings, and
implOrings, he heard no more.
Mr.. .Weschler. after crying Going,

that thskaero was gone" and sold to
the ger eman for five dollars
Mr.. Baum took his victory calmly. He
felt he had made good bargain. or

idea of gotaSaloft.
