IAVlATORS MAY TAKE
PASSENGERS ON FLIGHTS.
Many Clamoring to Accompany Bird
men During Bryan Meet.

A great many people have ASKED
the committee having the Elks' Avia-
ton Meet in charge whether or not
passengers would be taken on any Of
the flights. Quite number of citizens
have expressed desire to ascend, and
while the committee is not in a posi-
ton to make positive statement,
there is a probability that those who
choose to will be given the chance
ito fly.
Mr. Roger Q. Astin, the well known
local Barney Oldield," had first bid
on the passengers seat, but as this
gentleman will be out Of town on May
21.22, his place is claimed by his big
brother, Erwin. Mr.. f. II. Astin is a
prominent banker, planter and CAPT
talist OF our thriving city, and while
awning will no doubt investigate at
mospheric conditions above the Rohde
corner, at the intersection of Main
and Anderson streets, which property
was recently purchased by him, and
where, It is rumored. he anticipates
piercing the cerulean blue with mod
ern skyscraper.
The second name on the list is that
of Mr.. Robert Angus Harrison, an
erstwhile Brenhamite, who, by the
way. is at present enjoying the big
Maifest celebration now being pulled
off on his native heath. Curt Oliver is
boosting Bob, as he thinks 1t is his
one best chance to get near heaven.
The aviators may be allowed to USE
Mr. Harrison as ballast, If they VIII
agree to dump him from a sufficient
height and thereby prove that there
are more ways than one OF Kidding a
community of undesirable citizens.

The report closed with these words:
THE Epworth League comes before
this general conference prepared to do
a larger service than has hitherto
been deemed possible. Yet all that
has been done brings to view vaster
field of usefulness for which larger
resources and further development are
imperatively needed

eclipscs OF jupiter's moons II was
found that when the earth WAS In the
part OF It's orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minuies
earlier than when 1t was In the Gar

astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time II waf|
deduced from this that the light was|
not Instantaneous and consequently
took sixteen minutes to traverse theI

Conejos, Mex-(At the Federal
Front)-May 13.-Burning bridges be-
hind them, the Mexican rebels today
continued their retreat nofthward be-
fore the federal army of General
Huerta, victorious in the last three
days fighting. Five bridges span
ming wide arroyos were destroyed by
the insurgents, causing delay to gov
ernment troop trains.
No fighting was expected today, as
both sides were occupied with their
dead and wounded from yesterdays
engagement. The rebels are believed
to have lost six hundred killed and
wounded. General Orozco's headquar-
ters have been moved northward to
RelIano from Escalon, retreat of IL
miles. The rebel advance guard, af-
ter the defeat of yesterday at Cone
jos, 55 miles north of Torreon, today
was sighted behind Yermo, IA miles
north of here on the Mexican Central
railroad. Though skirmishing is ex-
pected constantly, another decisive
clash probably will not occur for "a
hours.
Rellano, once the battle-ground in
the present revolution, again may be
the meeting place of the two armies.
Thus far the advantage has been
with the government troops. as they
steadily have repulsed the rebels
northward toward the American Dor.
der. The superior artillery fire Of the
government troops driving the insur-
rectos SO far back that their infantry
fire became ineffective, is counted
upon to force the Orozco army still
further northward.

The hospital physicians declare En-

that none is fatal. It is believed that

Washington, May 13.-A purported
deliberate plan of W. P. Boland to
entrap Judge Robert w. Archibald of
the commerce court, in an embarras-
sing transaction, was revealed today
before the house judiciary committee,
which is investigating charges
brought by Boland to determine
whether Impeachment proceedings
against the jurist shall be instituted
by the senate.
Allan Cockrell confidential secre-
tary of the interstate commerce COM
mission, read to the committee his
memorandum of w. P. Boland's orig
inal statement of the charges against
Judge Archibald. Boland, according
to the memorandum, told Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Meyers that
he purposely sought to entrap Judge
Archibald in the Katydid culm bank
transaction, after demurrer in a
suit against his coal company had
been decided against him in Judge
Archbald's court
Boland aaclared that he sent E. J.
Williams to Archibald to lure hir in.

the Erie railroad, after Williams had
come to him with Judge Archbald's
$500 note for discount Boland re-
fused to discount the note and sub
sequently his demurrer was decided
against him. In making charges Bo-
land admitted, according to Cockrell,
that he had used Williams in an eff
fort to involve the judge in discred-
liable transaction.

poorer churches, which need bish-

doubtedly was well advised of his po-
sition before he fled from Juarez.
