TRULY smooth. He combines in his
perfect type, the best attributes of the
Splinter and the weight man.
Thorpe has been at the Carlisle In

that time he has brought fame to the
institution. On more than one occa-
sion his work has brought victory to
Carlisle teams. He is equally good on
the track, the diamond and the grid

Indian football team this year.
But 1t has not been at Carlisle that

of his tender years, he gave a good
account of himself. So good, in fact,
that the next year was called TO play

Western Association.

a time, but his remarkable talents
were not fully appreciated until the
simmer of 1892 when Hanlon took
charge of the team.
Hanlon's keen eye at once saw the

Just what is the matter with aviation
in the army and navy and give It q
chance to remedy IT,
Aerial Corps Lacks Men.
1t may be stated on authority with.
out anticipating the report that the
reason there is not more being done
in aviation either in the army or navy
is not the lack of money so much as
the lack of men The signal service
has been called on to greatly extend
its activities in the past few years,
and what with cables, wireless avia.
ton and a number of other things to
look after, it not only has not enough
officers and men Of its own for the
work, but cannot possibly borrow them
from other branches of the service.
The army now has eight aeroplancs
and four men to operate them. Lieut..
Kennedy, badly hurt this winter at
Augusta, is possibly out of flying for
good. Lieut.. Hazlehurst, lately detaE
ed to the flying squad from the in
fantry, is still unframed. The remain.
ing officers with the aeroplanes are
Capt. Charles de F. Chandler, Lieut..
II. H. Arnold and Lieut.. Thomas de
w. Milling. OF these Capt Chandler
is the only signal service officer in
the party.
What the Secretary of War intends
to recommend is the enlargement Of
the signal service in some proportion
to it's present needs There was but
$4,000 appropriated by Congress for
aeronautics in the army this year
Probably more could have been had
if an appeal had been made for it, but
with no officers available to handle
machines, it was thought needless to
ask for more. France this year is
spending $4,S00,OOO on aviation, which
makes this countrys activity negli-
gible. At the same time there is one
virtue in the delay, and that is that
it takes a good deal less time to build
battleship, and the chances are that
if this country spent a million or a
half a million dollars in aeroplanes
now they would all be "scrapped" in
favor of more recent and better ma
chimes before the last ones had been
delivered from the factory.
Both the army and navy however,
are very anxious for more officers to
be trained as aviators, because they
say that in possession of large num-
Der of qualified pilots lies the real
strength of an army's aviation per
sunnel.

BAREBACK RIDER
SHOCKS WOMEN

NEW YORK, March 31.-Through
the efforts Of DR. Anna Shaw, Har-
riet stanton Blatch and Beatrice
Jones, the women of Barnum & Bat
ley's circus were organized today to
work for the suffrage cause The
FIRST votes for women" meeting in
the circus ended stormily. Alexander
Seabert, husband of Lillian Seabert a
bareback rider, projected himself into
the meeting, took his wife and her
sister Jennie Byram, and hustled
them out of the menagerie room in
Madison Square Garden, where the
meeting was being held. Seabert
shouted that he didn't intend to let
bis wife take part in such nonsense.
The suffrage meeting was called in
the afternoon by Josie DeMott for
many years one of the most celebrat-
ed riders in the Barnum & Bailey
show other enthusiastic votes-for-
women members are Mrs. celia Flor
cnce, an acrobat; Kate Sandwina, "fe.
male Hercules" Eugenia Silbon, Mrs
Josie Wallace, May Wirth, star of the
circus, and Victoria Davenport. a rid
or.
Miss Jones told the circus women
that there was nothing in the suffrage
campaign that need antagonize the
men folk of the show. The way for
them to work, she suggested, would
be to hold meetings in the cities and
towns visited.
While Josie DeMott was telling the
women that it was about time they
put themselves on equal terms with
men, Seabert, owner and manager of
the bareback act in which his wife.
Lillian, and his sister-in-law appear,
ran into the menagerie and cut Miss
DeMott short.
That's all l want to hear of that
nonsense he shouted You come
cut of this, Lillian and you, too, Jen.
ME"
It's just this kind of thing" said
Miss De Mott hotly, that we women
are trying to correct. What right have
you to take your wife away from
decent, orderly meeting?"
Because she's my wife," said Sea
bert, and I'm not going to wait all
night for my grub
The Seaberts disappeared and the
circus suffragettes slipped away.

Grand Central Palace in New York
There viii he no aeroplanos Of the
army available for the show but such
balloons and other equipment as can
be gathered viii be sent The signal
service has been working considerably
for some time past with a lightweight
wireless installation for aeroplancs,
and two sets of this sort will be sent
to be installed on aeroplanes that will
be sent to the show
Pictures have been received by the
signal service of the machine in which
the serious accident of Lieut.. Frank
! Kennedy happened February 19. 1t
shows, as was stated in The Star at
the time, that the front wheel. of the
machine crumpled up in making too
sharp landing, throwing Lieut.. Ken
needy out on his head. He has been
in the hospital for a long time as a
result Of the accident, but has now
been allowed to return to his home in
Augusta 1t is thought he will be
entirely recovered in a short time.
Nothing official has been done in
connection with the new gun recently
designed by Lieut.. Cleland Davis of
the navy for use from aeroplanes This
is a gun that will weigh about $50
pounds, and wi shoot a projectile of
four inches diameter. 1t is supposed
to be without recoil, as there are two
guns, placed breech to breech and
fired simultaneously, the recoil of one
counteracting the recoil of the other.
May Be Taken Up BY Army.
The gun is of venadium steel to 70
duce the '0ht 1t will not be tried
by the navy, as that branch of the
service is busy now experimenting
in other directions. The army has
said that if completed gun is pres
ented for trial it will be experimental
with. The signal service has had
number of aeroplane attachments pre-
scented to it. Among them was a de
sign Of an officer for an adaptation
of the present automatic rife firing
service ammunition, which weighs 100
pounds to the 1000 rounds The gun
itself weighs only twenty-five pounds,
and shoots 500 shots a minute If it
ever comes to equipping aeroplanos
with defensive weapons this gun or a
similar type is one likely to be tried
Orders have been issued for men Of
the army flying squad to return from
Augusta, where they have been spend
ing the winter It is likely they viii
be at College Park early in April. The
men of the navy flying division are
not likely to return from San Diego,
where they are now quartered, till
later in the season.
Considerable interest is felt in the
War Department over the report asked
of the Secretary of War by Represen-
tative Sharp of Ohio. The resolution
recites that there is a great deal of
activity among foreign governments
in the aviation line, and asks what has
been done in the American army and
what are the plans of the army for
the future.
This formation is partly in hand
and is now being collected by the
Secretary of War. 1t gives the de-
partment a chance to tell the House
