agraph, which tells vividly the
terrible tale of slaughter aud
disease IN the civil war;
II any reader, taking up his
morning newspaper, should
learn that on the preceding day
somewhere in our. country a
great calamity had destroyed
400 lives the news would sadden
him all day. And If the next

Of the story, with some change

for it and to what result IL was
tending. In the great civil war of
1865 the average destruction
of life was 400 a day for the
four years that the contest last

were called to the field. The
theater Of conflict covered near

up for a spin. He kept his word, and.
incidentally, broke his own altitude rec
ord and also the altitude record held by
the flyers at College Park. The record
was not official, however, for the baro-
graph which Lieutenant Arnold carried
with him refused to register after he
had reached the 4,0O0-foot altitude, but
he estimated that he went at least two
thousand feet higher after the little In
strument went wrong.
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy Beck
man Winthrop was a spectator at the
aviation school, and he congratulated
the flyers on their work.
Captain Beck and Lieutenant Kirkland

Patent Attorneys Wife
Seeking a Divorce

Richard B. cavanagh. a local patent
attorney, is being sued for a limited d.
vorce in the District Supreme Court by
Mrs. Adelaide Rover Cavanagh, ha-
bitual drunkenness and cruelty being
charged. Mrs. Cavanagh's brother, Leo
A. Rover, Is her attorney.
Sprees ten days after his wedding and
on the day his only child was born, are
attributed to Cavanagh by his wife.
She says ten days after their wedding,
in 1895, she could not drag him away
from a grill room at New York. When
their child was born Mrs. Cavanagh
says he was intoxicated, and she was
compelled to have her nurse eject him
from her bed room.
That Cavanagh was also intoxicated
almost continually every night for three
months in the fall of 1903. is also as
serted by Mrs. Cavanagh. She declares
he has an income Of from 5000 to
5000 a year, but has failed to properly
support her.
Justice Gould yesterday issued a rule
against the attorney to show cause on
September Is why his wife should not
be given temporary alimony and the
custody Of their child.

New Lock Supply for
House Office Building

All because Of the disappearance of the
master key from the House Office Build.
ing two months ago, Superintendent El
liott Woods Of the Capitol has had to in
stall about 400 new locks for the doors of
the various committee rooms. The master
key has never been returned. New
keys will BE- distributed to the members
OF Congress as soon as they return to
the city.
No trace Of the missing key has ever
been found. and members have been
nervous lest thieves might break in and
steal secrets Of state. Police have
been diligently watching the doors day
and night. So far, nothing has been
missed. A force OF men has been at
work for two weeks putting on the
new locks. In the meantime. much
care has been taken about allowing
miscellaneous visitors about the build
Ing.
After this the master key will be
guarded as II II were sacred. 1t Is In
charge Of Lieut.. William White, head
Of the police In the building. Anybody
getting hold Of II will have to tread
over Lieutenant Whites body.

Score Face Trial Today
Over Election Frauds

MAYS LANDING. N. J.. Sept. L.
Several Of the so-caIled election fraud
cases which have stirred Atlantic county
from center to circumference were called
for trial here today before Supreme
Court Justice Samuel Kansch.
As the defendants number a score
and include many prominent and in
fluential political workers who are ex-
pected to make a vigorous defense, the
probability is that the court will be
kept busy for the next month or two.
The charges include conspiracy to bribe,
the purchase of votes, assaults on cleo
ton officers, and various other viola
tons of the law alleged to have been
committed in connection with the elec-
tions in Atlantic City last November.

DEPARTMENT TO
GUT EXPENDITURES
TO UTMOST LIMIT
Economy to Be Watchword
in Preparing Estimates
for Congress.

Economy will be the watchword
everywhere about the Government de-
partments this fall In preparing the
estimates for appropriations which will
be submitted to Congress at the be-
ginning Of the next regular session.
In the first place, President Taft Is
desirous of making q good showing
of economy. In the second place,
under the law, the President Is >re-
quired either to have the estimates
kept within the probable revenues or
advise Congress what course to take
to raise the additional revenue needed.
A third and extremely potent reason
for economy in the estimates this year
is that for the first time In years In a
regular session q Republican Admin
istration Is confronted with the prob
lem of getting its estimates acted
favorably upon by a Democratic House.
The result is that the heads of bureaus
and divisions and of independent
bureaus, who are preparing or having
prepared the estimates which they need
And, quite as important as holding
down the estimates, will be the matter OF
backing them up with evidence that
they are justified. 1t is well realized
in department circles that the Demo
cratic leaders in the House this winter
are going to do their utmost to make
a showing Of economy. They want to
go into the campaign and be able to
say that the expenditures Of the govern
Inent have been cut below what they
have been in recent years.
In order to hold down the appropria-
tions, It is expected the House appro-
priations committee will haul the Re-
publican officials who come before II to
explain estimates over the Goals pretty
This will be done as a part of
the game to get advertising for the
Democratic economy program.
Quite as much attention will be given
to the preparation Of evidence to back
up the estimates as to the cutting Of
estimates or holding them in check.
