s25.OOO. GOO for AeropIanes.

TWENTY-FIVE million dollars is a
conservative estimate of the sum to be
expended by the various nations for
aeroplane equipment in the next three
years. said Jerome Fanciulli, an aero
plane expert of New Y ork, at the New
willard 1.-The appropriations already
announced by the various governments
for aviation purposes next year amount
to nearly 100000.
1.-THE value of aircraft has been Illus
trated by their successful use in the
Turko-Italian war and by the armies
of the leading powers in maneuvers-
Aside from the fact that /, 500 to Z,OOO
aeroplanes can be bought for the price
of a battIeship, only two lives at most
are risked in the use of aeroplanes for
military purposes. If the aeroplane
manufacturers improve the flying ma
chine in the next year in the same
ratio of development that has marked
progress in the last two years, the
aeroplane certainly will revolutionize
the present methods of conducting
warfare.
American manufacturers today are
in a much better position than their
foreign competitors. Progress in the
art of aviation and in the perfection
of a safe, speedy, useful aeroplane has
been much greater on this side than
abroad A year ago this was not true
to so great a degree. Foreign govern
ments now are purchasing American
aeroplanes. In fact, so mucn encour-
agement has been given American
manufacturers that they are arranging
official demonstrations in various Eu-
ropean countries.
1.-THE superiority of the biplane over
the monoplane and the hydroplane for
flights from land to water principally
are responsible for the interest dis
played by foreign governments. The
hvdroplane also has stimulated in
terest in aviation as a sport 1t is said
to be more exhilarating to fly few
feet above the waters surface at a

7. R. LOSES HIS AUTO
Causes Blockade of Traffic While
Looking for Another.

New York, Dec. 18-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, emerging from the Labor
temple Sunday afternoon, where he had
made a speech, could not find his auto
mobile and while looking around for
another, caused a crowd to collect that
blocked traffic.
Somebody shouted, There's Teddy y
and in a moment he was surrounded
by a throng that grew larger as the
colonel strobe along Fourteenth street
looking for a taxicab. When two po-
licemen forced their way into the
crowd to find out what the trouble was,
the colonel good naturally explained
and they held up a passing automo-
bile. 1t was private machine and
the lone driver was for going on until
the colonel took hand in the CONVEX
sation himself. Meanwhile, a trolley
car had come to a stop behind the au-
tomobile.
Hey, you" the motorman shouted
to the former president, turn your
blamed machine up against the curb
if you want to get In. Don't you know
anything? Get off the track"
With a grin for an answer. Mr..
Roosevelt hoped into the tonneau and
the machine bolted off, amid the cheers
of the crowd
Colonel Roosevelt's speech at the
Labor temple was religious. Rev.
Charles Stelzle. head of the Presbyte-
rian department of labor was down on
the program to speak on What About
the Mcnamara Case?" but on the I'M
expected arrival of the former presi-
dent he cut short his address and in
vited Colonel Roosevelt to succeed him.

Mexico City, Dec. 1S.-A conspiracy to
assassinate President Madero and pro-
claim a provisional presidency, pending
the coming of General Reyes to the cap

been frustrated at the last moment, in
the opinion of the authorities by the ar

STUBS NOT PLEASED
Engaged in Controversy With Dawson
Over It. p. Lindsay.

The latest row between the governor
and the attorney general over the way
Judge F. P. Lindsay of Topeka has
conducted the law enforcement cam
paign in Cherokee county will prOba-
bly, run the usual course through the
newspapers. 1t has a good start. The
governors men down there complain
that Lindsay has temporized with the
jointists and allowed them to plead
guilty and pay fines and thus avoid Jail
sentences. Judge Lindsay came to
Topeka Saturday and laid the matter
before the attorney general and the
latter is standing by his assistant at
torney general for Cherokee.
Mr.. Lawson is not yet ready to give
out the Lindsay defense, but is pre-
pairing it in the form of a report for
the governor. 1t is known, however,
that Lindsay claims to have acted in
a practical and successful way in
handling a difficult situation. He did
the best he could. Mr. Dawson replies
to the governors latest letter as fol-
lows:
THE charge that Judge Lindsay dis
Cherokee county payment or agree
ment to pay attorneys fees is an unqua1i-
fled falsehood without shadow of founda-
ton, and think it is an outrage that
such a malicious SANDER should require
the dignity of a positive denial

pie in Cherokee county to manufacture all
sorts of charges against public officials.

Albuquerque, Dec. 1S.-White haired
and bent with the weight of so years,
Donacio Espalin was today, on the in
structions of court adjudged innocent of
a murder which as was alleged, he
committed So years ago. Espalin was
on trial in the district court of Don

who then were mere boys, We're among
those who testified.
Espalin, after the killing went to Mex

dence as the court declared at this late
date was too incomplete and vague to
incriminate Espalin.

any practical way to stop it,
In his letter to Mr. Dawson the gov
ernor stated that his information as to
the dismissal of the cases and as to chm
ditions resulting from that action came
from a reliable citizen of Cherokee coun-
ty. Mr.. Dawson says he does not consid-
er him reliable, and says he knows who
the man is.
The reliable citizen who writes you is
known to me- he says. Il do not con-
slider him reliable at all. He is, perhaps,
a well-meaning old fellow, whose claim to
distinction is that your excellency and the
Kansas City Star give circulation to the
stray gossip that he collects and reports
with the most child-like credulity. In his
letter to you insinuating that state cases
in Cherokee county had been dismissed
he ingeniously admits that he had not
talked with Assistant Attorney General
Lindsay, but presumed Judge Lindsay

gracious of your reliable citizen AS to
the cheap talk of worthless busybodies in
that county, I have no time to attend to
that, nor do propose to establish a pub

JOHN MITCHELL Is
CELEBRATING HIS BIRTHDAY

One OF New York's most distinguish
ed citizens, John Mitchell, the labor
leader, is today celebrating his forty
first birthday. AS vice-president Of
the American Federation of Labor,
and chairman of the trade agreement
department of the National Civic Fed
Grafton. Mr.. Mitchell now finds 1t ne
cessary to spend most of his time in
the metropolis. His home, however
is at Mount Vernon, a pretty little
suburban city just beyond the north
ern city limits, but practically part
of New York. For some time he has
himself largely in projects
for the protection of the life and limb
of workingmen. Basing his state
ment on a most complete collection
of statistics, he asserts that more than
a hundred workmen are killed daily
in the United States, on an average,
and that the number of killed and
annually reaches the stupen-
dous total of $4,000. The annual
of accidents of all kinds to
workmen, he says, is over two mil
lions. Compared with the number Of
men employed in industries, three
times as many are annually killed in
this country as in any country in Eu-
rope.
