PRESENCE OF MIND
 WHILE UP IN AIR

Paris July 8.-(Special. .)-The following
 story from Douai tells of the remarka-
 ble coolness of a sapper and pilot in mid-air when both one and the other
 were convinced that they were flying
 to their death. Lieutenant Ludmann.
 chief of the military aviation center
 of Douai, left for Rheims and came to
 forced landing at Catelet. in the Aisne;
 but, fortunately, no damage was caused.
 When they were flying over Camhrai at height of about 25000 feet at 4 o'clock in the morning, the sapper De- vile, whom the lieutenant had taken with him as a lookout passenger, noticed that one of the wire stays holding the motor had given way, and that the mag
 neto was not working we'll He made a sign to the officer, to shut off the motor in order to hear better. Lieutenant Ludmann thereupon set the motor work Ing again, hoping that it might carry them as far as Rheims, but every mo- ment the wire became looser and danger of the others snapping became immi- nent.
 In the midst of this danger the sapper quietly held his notebook before him and
 wrote as follows "If we fall, it will be
 known that it was caused by one of the
 wires which held the motor getting loose and by the bad working of our magneto,
 and not through any fault of handling the motor of the machine" Happily, by means of a vol-plane the aviators were able to land safely. When on the ground. the lieutenant looked at what his com
 panion had written in his notebook. The
 sapper simply explained that he had
 done 1t so that in case of accident it would be seen that the pilot was not
 responsible.

GOSSIP OF THE THEATRES
By JAMES GRANT THURsToN

New York, July S.--(Special )-The the atrical season just closed has been pros porous one for most of the more prom inent managers. Eight new theatres are under way and one manager it is said has plans for three new ones under consider ation.
 Whether it is this city's great summer transient population, regular resident theatre-going repeaters or both who make up the almost always large audiences at a number of houses where the season 8 big theatrical successes continue, it Is diff ficult to say; but the fact remains that these theatres are advancing well into the summer witt most satisfactory financial results.
 William Harris announces that he has arranged to build in Boston and Chicago exact duplicates of the Foles Bergere, in- cooperating all the features, including the restaurant, that has contributed so largely
 to make this new form of entertainment
 an enormous New York success.
 Influenced by the success of the Folies Rergero, Wiilis n dalrts has clos eoB- tracts with Henry B. Harris and Jesse L. I.asxy of this theatre for the rights to present in Boston and Chicago the enter tainment now being conducted at the Eoyies Bergere.
 His contract with the directors of the Folies Bergere compels them to
 make three productions a year, and these, after playing four months here are then to rotate between Boston and | Chicago-that in consideration of
 which William Harris purchases the productions on leaving New York and pays to the original producers a bonus in the shape of a royalty based on the percentage of the business play ed to in Boston and Chicago. Winthrop Ames, director of the New theatre, will not run the new play house to be built on West Forty-fifth street. MT Ames prefers instead to branch out as producer. He says, T shall not be the director of the new
 New theatre. I shall, however. act in an unofficial advisory capacity as to the building of the playhouse. I have

 'Of course, it is totally different from the boat-shaped wooden abutment of the old bridge which was discovered some time ago by sMr. Pirie-Gordon. Although hoped for the best there, never really felt we were on the right track.
 'I found this new place myself, with the help of Joe Ellis, my boatman, after we had abandoned the original sphere Of the search, and dismantled the pumps and the barge"
 Dr.. Owens explained that the whole source of his previous troubles was an incorrect belief that the old Roman ford (which is mentioned so often in the Sciphe13 was above the castle, instead of by the castle Old maps of the seven teeenth century show that the ford was not in the place shown by the present ordnance maps, and these were used for making the measurements
 When the real position of the ford was found, Dr. Owens declared the measure ments given in the cipher led accurately t. >sle spot where he Is now searching.

FAMOUS BRIGAND
 KILLED BY TURKS

Constantinople, July s.-(Special)-The announcement of the killing of -the noted Bulgarian brigand, Brage the Tiger, by Turkish troops is received here with satisfaction Half brigand, half rebel, Brage was man of astounding courage and ferocious disposition, yet despite his deeds, many Bulgarians looked upon him as a national hero and are now deploring his death.
 Brage killed many hundreds of persons during his long brigand existence. Blood thirsty like a tiger Che was popularly known as Brage the Tiger), he often mas sacred for the mere sake of seeing hum- an blood flow. In some provinces of Rumelia, he acquired such a terrible re- putation as "an avenger of wrongs, that the civil police authorities trembled at his name and frequently refused to riursue him. It is said that he had on ,lis body over a hundred wounds, receiv- ed during the endless affrays he had had with the Turks.

DR. OWENS TALKSOF . SHAKESPEARE WORK

London, July S.-(Special)-Dr. Orville Ward Owens, who has been searching since last December in the mud of the Wye for the proof that Bacon wrote shakespeares plays, paid flying visit to London recently, leaving for the first time the scene of the digging in Chop stow.
 This visit was concerned with new and important development in connec- ton with the search. He was closeted for a long time with the agent of the Duke of Beaufort and his solicitors, and the result of the conference was the dis patching of telegram to Chepstow tell ing the party to make all haste with the present discovery.
 ''The new discovery" says Dr. Owen, lis under the wall of Chepstow Castle in the Wye. There triangular stone structure thirteen feet high has been found under the mud. .
 This structure has a wall eight feet deep and five feet broad which is GOV cred at high tide by five or six feet of water It was hidden under eight feet of clay, mortar and stones, and no one knew it was there until I found it.
 Tn front there is line of timber and concrete running down to the bed of the river. Nobody can tell yet for what pur- pose this was made, but it follows the details of my cipher in all particulars
 "Is it the cache? I believe honestly that it is. It's roof is shaped like the tor of a house, and it is exactly like the thing I have been looking for. Further more, eminent archaecologists are unable to account for such structure jutting out from the solid rock of the cliff on which the castle is built.

 Percy G. Williams has planned to send a vaudeville company on tour next season
 that gives promise of becoming a most notable organization. It will be known as "Ye Olde Timers Festival" and in-

 who have been before the public for

 John Le Clair have already been engaged

SOUTH AFRICA HAS
 ITS RACE QUESTION

Bloemfontein, July -(Special)-Speah- ing at the annual congress or the Orange Unie. General Heftzog Minister of Justice. referred to the nat i've question in South Africa and dwelt on the position of the poor whites, faced by native competition
 Although they must deal justly With the natives, he said they were never theless obliged to do what was tempor- arily unpleasant. Parliament would nave to take measures to stop the trend or economic forces which were anti-Euro- bean and would involve the death of the white man. They must say to the nat ives. "You may rise as high as you like in your own circles; but in the cir cles of Europeans there you nave no equality" General Hertzog thought that the difficulty of carrying this out was rot insoluble if the Government Was courageous.

THE REDEMPTION or ABE.

Abe Ruef formerly held down the
sob Of political boss Of San Francisco.
He was brainy. shrewd. cunning and
unscrupulous, and he coined many
thousands cut Of his ability to play The
game Of corrupting city
As a political boss Abe didn't put
any limit on his powers for deyiltry
He pursued the game relentlessly and
rose to the exalted position Of king Of
organized graft If there was any
good in the man 1t was reserved for
private exhibition; certainly none was
ever manifested in his public lfe.
But the boss who long enjoyed un-
disputed sway finally got his" and
recently he has been one of the dis
tinguished dwellers in San Quentin
prison. And at this period in his life
Abe enters new existence. Mr. Hyde
vanishes and DR.. Jekyll appears on the
scene. Perhaps it was in Ruef all the
time and he just needed the quiet. re.
straining influences Of prison life to
bring it out but whatever the explana-
tion. they are now calling him the
prison angel"
1t is said that Ruef has applied him
self diligently to the task Of ameliorat-
ing the condition OF his fellow prison
ers, bringing into action all his SPLEEN
did ability together with a remarkable
manifestation ofAhuman sympathy md
Kindness, Among other things. he has
organized self-help association for
the purpose of aiding released con-
victs in getting new start in life. He
has been a model prisoner and his in
fluence over the other convicts has
been for good.
OF course it may be argued that Abe
is being good simply to excite sympathy
and generate a feeling that will call
for his pardon. 1t is remarkable that
Freemont Older. editor of the San
Francisco Bulletin, who had as much
10 do with putting Ruef behind the
bars as any other man, is now advocat-
ing 4 pardon or parole for him, on the
grounds that the system rather than
the individual was responsible for Abe
and his deeds. It is difficult to judge
mems motives. Abe may be playing a
spectacular saise or 1t may be gen
uine case Of man turning the other
way in earnest. Time will doubtless
reveal whether the old Abe is dead and
the new Abe is the real thing" come
to stay. A few years Of probation will
determine whether his redemption is
genuine.

PUBLICITY FOR OKLAHOMA.

A good suggestion comes from Geor-
gia. November 80 is to be Georgia
Advertising Day" and on this occa-
sion the mails OF the country are to be
flooded with letters telling what a
great state Georgia is Every citizen
Is expected to send out bunch OF let
ters boosting his own community and
singing Georgia generally. At the
same time the papers are to be loaded
with Georgia press matter and by
these means ii is hoped to convey to
the opportunity seekers of the coun.
try vast amount OF information con
corning the good things the state has
to offer.
Oklahomans are not prone to over
look any bets when it comes to boost
ing and it occurs to us that the Geor-
gia plan is one that might well be imi-
tated. The time has come when the

charm of newness wears off and the
really wonderful resources and accom-
plishments of the state come to be re-
garded as the usual thing. it is all the
more necessary to resort to systemat-
ic methods of exploitation.
While many communities in Okla
homa have spent large sums upon ad-
vertising, we have never had state
wide movement for the purpose OF
bringing the resources and advantages
Of the state before the country at
large. This is an age when the hust-
lers get the business. AlIuring adver-
tisements Of Florida. the coast com
try, the irrigated sections Of the far
west and even Of Canada are being
sown broadcast over the land and i'm.
migrants are being attracted to those
regions. Oklahoma has as much to
offer as the best and more than the
most of them, but this will not bring
us any money or immigrants if we
don't advertise our wares. A state
publicity bureau is needed in order to
keep matchless Oklahoma before the
eyes Of the moving throng.
