 RESOLUTION
 BADLY BEATEN

Just as the Common Council was about to adjourn last evening, Alder man Primrose asked that his reso- lution preSnted at the meeting the week before in relation to the policing at the recent aviation meet, be taken from the table. AS a result a lively debate enSued.
 On a vote being taken, Alderman PrimroseS request was lost 15-6. Last week the petition was tabled by 15-7
 Alderman Primrose stated that he presented the resolution solely as a matter Of information. It had been brought to his attention that for a time the city was left without police protection. There had been certain statements made, and he wanted to know something about them. Alder man DeForest looked upon the whole matter as of little consequence. The aviation meet was a public affair, and had attracted country wide attention. It had entertained many strangers. and everything had been carried on satisfactorily. There might have been a few technicalities to have arisen, but it would be well to let the whole matter alone.
 Alderman Primrose looked upon the meet as a private enterprise, and as such the manager should have been compelled to pay for police protection and not the taxpayers of Bridgeport. Furthermore the city has supplied pro- lection for a meet on Sunday which was in direct violation of the law
 Alderman Lavery, who was presid- ing in the absence of Mayor Bucking- ham, who had to leave the meeting, called Alderman Primrose's attention to the fact that the police protection had been asked by the Board of Trade, the Business Mems association and many other civic bodies of the city. In the matter of the Sunday meet, he considered that the promoters had de- cided upon that day as one in which the working men could see the meet. He believed in Sunday amusements of that nature, stating that ever since he was a boy he had played Sunday baseball and football and was not any worse for it. At this point AL derman King objected to the presiding officer making an appeal for the work ingmen from his authoritive position. Alderman Lavery solved the situa- tion by calling Alderman Primrose to preside over the meeting. The alder man from the Eleventh as the minor ity leader then took the mayors gav- el. AS he mounted the platform he was greeted with applause from the floor of the house. as it was his first venture as presiding officer. From his position on the floor, Alderman Lavery continued in his defense of the workingmen to have Sunday amusement They were tied up in the shops during the whole week and had but that one day in which to enjoy a slight diversion from the regular He held the whole matter as pretty small potatoes.
 After the reading of the original motion, the vote was taken to have it taken from the table, and was declar- ed lost 6-15.
 Alderman Paddock noted that both Aldermen Jackson and Miller, from the Fifth district did not vote. Have they moved the Fifth district from the city?" he inquired. '1t is not worth standing up for,' replied Alderman Jackson.

FLANNERY DEFENDS
 THE SAVOY CLUB

Edward Flannery, secretary of the Savoy Club, in speaking of raid made upon the club some three years ago, said that the ground of the raid was the same as in the most recent case, it being claimed that the club could not sell liquor MT. Flannery denied that any charge of gambling g had been made by the authorities against the Savoy Club. Secretary Flannery said:
 '"The Savoy Club is five years old. It is a bona fide club. We supposed that we were obeying the law in serv- ing liouor to our members. We sup posed that our status was established after the raid to which I have re- ferred, when Judge Pullman found the law different than Judge Foster finds it.''

Publisher Norris Talks On Wood
 Pulp And Paper
Tells Senate Committee How the Industry Can be Retained in
 the United States
Especial from United Press.)


 Washington, May 2S-A vast collec- tion of information bearing on the tariff, wood pulp and paper industry. was. today, laid before the Senate Finance Committee by John Norris, representative of the American News paper Publishers Association.
 .Cheap paper and the retention Of the print paper industry in the Uni- ted States" said Norris. ''can be se- cured by the adoption of the paper clause of the reciprocity treaty and, it seems, in no other way. The Cana dian provinces which control the pulp wood are trying to force American paper mills to move to the other side of the boundary. By prohibiting the exportation of pulp wood from the provincial land. they believe they can starve out the American paper makers whose domestic supplies are nearly exhausted.
 The provincial authorities believe they have the American makers at their mercy and they propose to bring the paper industry to Canada upon terms dictated by them.

THE AEROPLANE, By Cora Hartman.)
(Written for the Farmer.)

 She sat, disconsolate, alone, A wondrous thing had come to pass, And man had conquered air at last So friends and kin in gayest gown Had gone to view them in the town. For men were to fly that day. The hope of centuries had bloomed, For not in vain the martyrs tomb Or for naught that man had died, The Goddess Air was pacified. But she sat alone in tears Some hon1ely work performing Upon this golden morning For some at home must stay And humble tasks be done alway. Hushi she hears a low hum. Louder it grows, gigantic bird dyin; The beauty of its wings or might,
 wind signing Then rushing aloft. To! her glorifieC
 eyes Behold Man flying through the skies Still tears, but those of awe, exultant
 she hears the whir And knows the aeroplane has come tt

SKETCH OF VICTIM
OF AERO ACCIDENT

Henry Maurice Berteaux, socialist,
millionaire, militant stock broker, and
clever nan of affairs generally, was
looked upon by those who followed the
intracacies of French politics as one of
the four strong men in the cabinet of
Premier N1onis The premier himself
Delcasse, at the head of naval affairs,
and Gruppi were the other three men
that stood out when the portfolio of
minister of war was given Berteaux for
the second time last March.
In the days following the fall of BRAND
when Monis was riding furiously around
Paris in his automobile in search of new
members for his cabinet Berteaux was
the man he at once thought of as a sat
isfactory minister of war. He had
plenty of money, some experience with
the duties at the war office, and ex-
tremely democratic views of government
Berteaux was appointed on March Of
this year.
Made Fortune on Bourse.
He was born on June 3, 1852. in Saint
les-Fosses. BY profession he was an
"agent de charge" or an official stock
broker dependent upon government sane
ton for his business existence The man
acquired a fortune on the bourse. With
a full pocketbook and very radical So
cialist ideas, he came TO sit in the Cham
ber of Deputies as a representative of
Versailles in that body in 1898, a men,
bsr of the Republicans.
Berteaux always had an interest in

ministry when Berteaux's family was
escorted to the death chamber.
Nine. Berteaux, an elderly, fragile wo-
man. threw herself across the bier and
utterly gave herself UP to emotion. Her
daughter also was overcome by grief.
The accident is a more than serious
matter to the state, and the results will
be grave for the public. The questions
of old age pensions. the delimination of
the champagne district, and the Moroc-
can imbroglio all require the presence
in the chamber of the premier, and for
the time being all are to be held up.
Jean Cruppi. the minister of foreign
affairs, has been appointed minister of
war pro tenn.
Race Is Abandoned.
Fatality seems to be linked with Paris
to-Madrid contests In the automobile
race in 1903 so many persons had been
killed before the racers had reached Bor-
deaux that the race was called off, and
there has been none since To-day's
race, arranged by the Petit Parsien, was
under the patronage Of the war office
lie Journals all-Europe race is sched-
uled for next week, and the Petit Journal
has arranged for a race from Paris to
Rome in the middle Of June.
1t Is possible that both events will be
declared Off
Paris is SO engloomed that the premier
performance Of dAnnunzios play, st
Sebastian" has been postponed. Oddly
enough, st. Sebastian" was to have been
the second stage Of to-day's fight.
Aviators Not Hurt.
Train and his passenger were not hur,,
but Deutsch, who is an enthusiastic
patron of aviation, was severely shocked.
Train is a small constructor. He built
the machine with which he flew from
Mourmelon to Paris on Friday in a high
wind.
The war office ordered fifteen OF his
machines. He is quiet chap Of about
thirty-five years. and has the esteem of
the military aviators at Mourmelon.
Shortly after the accident Train de-
scribed to your correspondent the trag-
edy as follows:
Seeing the soldiers. I made an effort
to turn to the right. The motor was too
weak, and I therefore raised the aero
plane in an effortto land beyond the
cuirassiers. At the same moment
group of ministers and officials that had
been hidden from me by the cavalry
seemed to scatter In >all directions. I
risked my own and my passengers life
in an attempt to prolong the flight over
the crowd, and was Just about to sue
coed in clearing them when the machine
fell heavily. jumped out and only then
discovered the terrible catastrophe"
Laffrete. one of the best aeroplane ex-
perts in France, explains that the mono-
plane has seen its best days
To-day's accident. he says, is the most
satisfactory proof. 1t IL badly balanced
and becomes a toy for the wind when
the pilot is no longer the master Of
It, making the act Of landing q most
difficult accomplishment. Biplanes. he
holds. are more stable and more easily
controlled.
The cabinet has decided to recognize
the wish OF the premier to permit the
race to Madrid to continue. The aero
club therefore voted that the remaining
six entrants whose machines had been
oficially sealed be permitted to start on
Monday morninE. These includa way.

MURRAY TO RESIGN
POST IN TREASURY
Asked to Stay Until End Of
Session.

It was reported last night that Law
renee o. Murray, Comptroller Of the Cur
rency. had rendered his resignation to
President Taft. to become president Of
the First National Bank of Pittsburg.
1t was said the President had requested
Mr.. Murray to remain in office until the
end Of the present session Of Congress,
but that Mr.. Murray had told the Presi-
dent he was anxious to leave before that
time.
When asked to confirm the report last
night, Mr.. Murray declared that he ex-
pected now to serve out his term in the
comptroller's office.
Several men had been suggested to the
President as successor to Murray. Will
lam Barret Ridgely. who was comptrol-
Ter before Murray, was under considera-
ton by the President, and Secretary Mac
veagh has, 1t is said. urged the appoint
ment Of George E. Roberts. Director Of
the Mint, and formerly president Of the
Commercial National Bank Of Chicago.
The fact that Mr.. Murray last night
said that he would not resign the comp
trollership is thought to indicate some
hitch in the plan to place him In the
presidency of the First National Bank
of Pittsburg.

military affairs and in 1902 he headed the
committee from the Chamber of Deputies
that presented the war budget.
On November ID, 1904, in the Combes
ministry, Gen. Andre resigned his port
folio amid considerable uproar In the
Chamber Of Deputies, which had been
attacking his administration fiercely and
the Office of minister of war came to the
stock broker
This appointment was received with no
especial enthusiasm among the people at
large. They wanted to see a fighter by
occupation rather than preference at the
head of their army, and furthermore one
of their traditions, namely that a mill
tary man should be minister of war, was
broken by Berteaux's appointment.
Resigns After a Year.
The heads of things in France don't
last long as a rule. Berteaux kept his
position a year, at the end Of which time
he, too, put in his portfolio amid almost
as much excitement as was occasioned
by the resignation Of his predecessor.
During that year NJ. Combes had left
the premiership, but NJ. Rouvier, his sue
cessor, kept Berteaux in his cabinet The
latter did nothing of articular note while
minister. He assigned his active duties
to Gen. Peigne. He showed himself op-
posed 10 duelling by ordering the arrests
of Gems. Hagron and Percin, who yearned
for each others blood In the spring of
1905. He appeared at the functions con-
nected with the transferring Of the re-
mains of John Paul Jones and welcomed
our Gen. Chaffee when he went to Paris
to review the troops.
Berteaux pursued his favorite study, the
study Of war. when he left the war office,
and was made president of the army
commission of the Chamber of Deputies.
Then Monis came to him this spring
at his home in the Champs Elysees with
the portfolio of the war ministry under
his arm and Berteaux again accepted 1t,
while the radical socialists rejoiced and
the rest of Paris waited without express
ing itself to see how Monis' new strange
cabinet would get on.
