SAFE FLYING is GOAL.
OTyille Wright and 0gilyie to Per-
feet Wilbur's Plans.

New York, June 6.-Unless the
wishes of Orville Wright are over
ruled by the board of directors of
the Wright company the secret plans
of the late Wilbur Wright, father of
aviation, to make aerial navigation as
safe and practicable as travel by an
ocean liner or railway passenger
train will be carried out by Orville
Wright and Alexander Ogilvie, the
English aviator, who assisted Orville
Wright last fall in making expert
ments at Kill Devil Hill, N. c., with
@ motorless glider
This fact became known when It
was announced at the offices of the
Wright company here that A. f.
Barnes, secretary and treasurer of
the company, had been summoned to-
day to a conference with Orville
Wright.
While in New York FIVE weeks be-
fore his death Wilbur Wright con-
fded to friends that ogilvie probably
Would join him and orville in per-
fecting improvements which he was
confident would completely revolu-
tionize aviation.
For years 0rville and Wilbur
Wright have worked to develop 9TH
er devices necessary for the perfec-
tion of the aeroplane which, 1t is
known, they both considered of as
great, If not greater Importance, than
the principle of automatic control.

SUPREME COURT IS
HARDWORKINC BODY
HAS ESTABLISHED ENvIABLE REC
ORD in FIRST TEN WEEKS.
QUIBBLING IS DIsREGARDED
Up to the Present No Dissenting Opinion
Has Been Handed Down at
This Term. j.

| jackson. Among members Of the bar
who have watched the Supreme Court Of
Mississippi at work for years past it is
| the concensus of opinion that the present
body OF men on the bench are preserving
the record established by preceding
courts for thorough, painstalxing and
downright hard work. When the court
assembled it marked the commencement
Of the tenth week of the new term. 1t
is noted with considerable interest that
during that period, while there have been
number of cases handled involving
close and difficult legal propositions and
on which precedents and authorities are
mixed and divergent, there has not been
so far during the term a single dissenting
opinion presented.
The court IS adhering to the rule laid
down at the outset Of the trem as to the
disposal of cases upon which it may APP
pear that either one side or the other has
built up it's cause on technical quibbles
and immaterial points, and this proceed
ure accounts very materially for the
number of cases handled so readily and
with so little delay. There is not more
hard-working body of state officials Of
Mississippi than these three men who sit
to determine the rights as between APP
pellant and appelle and the clerical staff
OF the court realizes this fact.
