Plane Afire,
Reid Unhurt
In Dizzy Fall
Aviator and Companion Saved
by Pohtoons When Motor
Explodes Over Bay.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct I2.-Mar.
shall e. Reid. the aviator. and Henry
c. Muslin. lieutenant t-commander of
the navy, who left Cape May Point
yesterday for this city In a hydro
aeropiane. and for whose safety ap-
prehension was felt, were picked up
by a Philadelphia police boat. The
hydro -aeroplsne fell into the Mau-
rice river and was wrecked. Reid
and his companion were not hurt.
A telegram received from Com
mander Muslin says the motor ex-
ploded but the hydro o-aeropIane was
not seriously damaged and landed in
the river. Several hours afterward
an oyster patrol boat discovered the
plight of the two aviators and took
them on board. Reid in a telephone
talk told OF the thrilling escape from
death of himself and Commander
Muslin. He said
We left Cape May with everything
working fine. intending to sail over
the Delaware bay and river to the
Philadelphia navy yard, eighty-fve
miles away. At 2:05 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, when we were about
twelve miles from Cape May flying
about 150 feet In the air and making
forty miles an hour, without the
slightest warning the entire engine
behind us exploded. The four CYL
inders blew out together, making the
motor a total wreck. The aeroplane
caught fire and we dropped like a
stone Right down into the Della.
ware bay we went, but the flames
were extinguished by the waves.
THE pontoons kept us afloat and we
drifted around in the bay for fifteen
hours and forty minutes. Then we
bumped into stake driven into the
bottom of the bay to indicate the po-
sition of an oyster bed, and we made
fast to it and waited for daybreak.
We were picked up and landed by al
oyster patrol boat, which also took
the wrecked machine ashore. Both
Muslin and / escaped without a
scratch, but the machine is a wreck.
The only explanation / can give for
the accident is that the gasoline used
was of too high quality
THE pontoon saved our lives and
proved that hydro-aeroplanes are
much safer than the ordinary flying
machine. If that accident had hap
pened over land there is nothing in
the world that could have saved US
The plane gave a crazy lurch when
the explosion came, and no wings
would have been strong enough to
save us"

NEWARK FRIDAY
Colonel to Make Two Speeches

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will IN
wade the city Friday and deliver two
addresses. The Progressives were
elated today when they received
definite announcement from Borden
d. whiting. national committeeman.
that the Bull Moose candidate would
come here next week.
Efforts to engage the First Regi-
ment and the First Troop Armory,
as we'll as kreguer Auditorium, were
futile. To be on the safe side SYM
phony Auditorium was engaged, and
there is some talk of having the for
mer President talk at Wtedenmay-
er's Park, the home of the Tigers.
The ball field would accommodates
thousands and the grand stand
would be ideal for the women who
will flock to hear the new party
leader.
q "They thought they could freeze us
all the way round" said one of the
local Bull Moose candidates today, but
they failed Colonel John D. Fraser
said today that the First Regiment
Armory would be engaged for drill
purposes Friday night.
There is no ban on political neet-
ings so long as they don't interfere
with military work." said Colonel
Fraser. "That comes first.
I'VE open our drill season next
week and there will be drills on Tues.
day, Thursday and Friday nights
On Friday the Third Battalion Will
drill. MIR. Whiting spoke to me but
told him the circumstanees.r
Secretary Walter F. Simpson was
busy today trying to devise means %
obtaining a place that would accom-
modate the biggest crowd.
The Camden executive committees
is after the Presidential Candidate
for d night meeting. II is likely that
the candidate may speak in Military

TWO "INDIAN FIGHTERS"
LOST IN NEWARK WILDS

Bound for the wild and woody West,
which they understood to be in Maple
wood, two sturdy pioneers, aged 10
and IA, respectively, became lost in
a bewildering maze Of Newark streets.
They had gone as far west as
Springfield avenue and Tenth street
when Patrolman Heuricn. of the
Fourth precinct, found them last
night.
At the police station they said they
were Elmer Marsh, II years old, of
27 Fulton street. and Paul Fisher, I3,
of 1870 Saratoga avenue, Brooklyn.
They said they had an aunt who
lived in Maplewood. The police noti-
fed their parents today to call at the

ARGUMENT IN PASSAIC
GAS HEARING CONCLUDED
Public Utility Board Reserves
Its Decision.

George L. Record, counsel for the
c,tv of Passaic. in the hearing be-
fore the Public Utility Commission
to compel the Public Service Corpo-
ration to fix a responsible rate for
gas in the Passaic- Paterson district,
resumed his argument before the
commission at the Court House to-
day.
Mr.. Record devoted much time to
argument as to the value of IRAN
chises, and called particular atten-
tion to a decision made by Judge
Hough, of New York, in the case of
the Consolidated Gas Company
against the city of New York. He
quoted from that decision as fol-
lows:
II believe that, on principle,
franchise should be held to have no
value except that arising from its
use as shield to protect those in
vesting their property upon the faith
thereof. and that, considered alone
and apart from the property which it
renders fruitful, 1t possesses no more
economic value for the investor than
does an actual shield possess fight
ing value, apart from the soldier who
bears it,
In closing Mr.. Record submitted
that he had established the fact that
a rate of rs cents per thousand feet
was all the gas company should
charge for gas in the Passaic- Pater-
son district, and stated that such a
reduction in the price of gas would
in no wise lower the profits of the
company. as the increased consump-
tion would make up for reduction in
rates.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Record s
argument the commission took the
case under advisement and win rem
der decision later.

RESTORES LIFE
OREGON POWER COMPANY TO
INSTALL PUIMOTER HERE.
Compressed Air COntrivance Cheats
Public and Physicians.

Through the enterprise and the

company the people of Dallas are
soon to have the benefit of a 'pul-
moter" which will be attached to the
equipment of the local Office The
pumoter is a recent invention which
is entitled to the name of life
saver" 1t is a machine operated by
compressed air and is used in resus-
citating individuals who have been
asphyxiated by gas or other fumes or
who have resisted ordinary efforts to
instill life after drowning.
The pulmoter has already proved
its usefulness and has saved many
lives since it's introduction into the
medical world. Only last week the
lives of five men at st. Paul were
saved after they had been given up
by physicians, and even after breath
ing had ceased. The pulmoter was
rushed to their assistance and, after
a few minutes operation, life was
literally brought back to the bodies
and the men quickly recovered.
Installed in All Branches.
Already many of the branch offices
of the H. M. Byllesby company which
is the parent corporation of the Ore
gOn Power company, and one of the
largest electric lighting and power
companies of the United States have
been equipped with pulmoters and
Others are being supplied as fast as
the machines are manufactured. 1t
is the policy of the company to supply
these machines for the use of the
