sHERIFFs AFTER AVlATORS.
Sunday Flying Against the Law on
Iona Island.

New York. Oct. 9.-Three Long Is
land shcrifrs undertook to preserve
the peace of the Sabbath by prevent
ing Earl L. Ovington and Miss Ma
thilda Moisant, two we'll known avi-
ators, from making flights at the Mas
sau boulevard field The result was
interesting.
Although the official flights of the
Aero club had been declared off, fol-
lowing a decision by the supreme
court that Sunday meets at which ad-
missions were charged We're viola
tions of the law, Oyington and Miss
Moisant decided TO make flights on
their own account
Miss NIoisant flew from the Nassau
boulevard field to her hangar at
Mineola. and Oyington started on his
proposed flight to the Pacific coast
with a package Of letters, having been
delegated by Postmaster General
Hitchcock as the first trans-conti-
mental aerial mail carrier.
Miss Moisant landed on the prop
orty of her brother Alfred Moisant,
and Immediately a trio of deputy sher-
ifs tried to arrest her.
Miss Noisant's brother said his sis
ter had entered her automobile just
after alghtug from her monoplane
and that the deputies attacked her
chauffeur and severely dubbed him
when he refused to allow them to
take the woman aviator from the au-
tomobile. IN the fracas Miss Moisant
had her wrist cut and was much
bruised and shaken up. The deputies
had no warrant to make an arrest.
Oyington was forced to come down
near Belmont park when his mono
plane nearly capsized in a sQuall The
deputies had lost track of him, and
he escaped the embarrassment which

Gen. Spingardi the minister of war
went to Naples to supervise, in con

Adylces from Tripoli say that
groups of Turkish soldiers are com

at the last moment by the garrison
with Mauser rifles, landed by the
steamer Derna, are gradually return

mission.
Their only condition is that Italian
commanders purchase their rifles for
a few francs, which seems to show
that not only are the Arabs-those at
least in the vicinity of Tripoli-not
ready to fight for Turkey, but also
that starvation prevails among the ma
tiyes. More than 10000 of these, it
is reported, will soon be forced by

Norfolk Men Go to Church.

Should a city of over 5000 popula-
rion have more than 6lO men in
church on Sunday? That is about the
number of Norfolk men who attended
churches in Norfolk last Sunday and,
including about $50 farmers, made Il
total of 76O men in Norfolk churches
of all denominations last Sunday. The
German churches of the city show a
greater male attendance than the gen
cral run of English churches and the
attendance of farmers is also more
marked in the German churches than
in the English speaking churches.
The Sacred Heart church and the
St Paul Lutheran church were even
in the attendance of men last Sunday,
each having about $50 men in the
CONGREGATION The First Methodist
and the First CONGREGATIONAL church
es each had sixty men. The Christ
Lutheran church was second in the
list with 100 and the Presbyterian
third with seyenty-five. The attend

Boise, Idaho, oct. Former Gov
Brady Of Idaho promised President
Taft to bring thirteen western gov.
errors to Washington next winter to
help him throsh out the question Of
the disposition OF the public domain
The governor did not elaborate on
his idea for the solution OF the public
lands question, but MIR. TAFT himself
promised several audiences to do all
in his power at the next session of
congress to have legislation enacted
that will dispose of some of the diff
ficulties confronting settlers on public
lands. Such legislation, said the pres
idcnt would not interfere with the pol.
icy of conservation. The principal
grievances of settlers, the president
found, are the short time i'm which
first payments for land are required,
the length of tenure demanded of a
settler before he becomes owner of
the land and the fact that even after
five years title to the land does not
pass
lie did not take up each issue in
detail but declared that there was no
reason to doubt that congress would
settle them at the next session
