CALL AMERICANS
BLOOD THIRSTY
FREkCH AND ENGLISH AVlATORS
DsNOUNCE SPECTATORS AT
AVIATION MEETS.

Paris, Jan. ll.-Like the old Rom
ans who turned down their thumbs
as signal for bloodsned and slaugh-
ter are the people of the United
States in their treatment of ayiatOrs.
declare some of the bird-men who
are in attendance today at the first
international convention of proles-
sional aviators
French and English flyers who
have ,.iven exhibitions in America
bitterly denounce the spectators at
aviation meets, who by their cries Of
derision and their loudmOuthed ac-
cusations of cowardice goad the bird
men to 90 into the air when the con
ditions are such as to make death
almost inevitable. Dozens OF brave
men. it is declared. have thus lost
their lives to make an American holi-
day.
A number of important matters are
before today's convention, and not
the least important is the situation
which contronts the men who fly TO"
a living in Europe and America 1t
is declared that the exhibition game
is about played ont on both sides Of
the water and thai tho public will no
longer pay to see the flying men un-
less provided with new and spectacu-
lar features that are to be accom-
plished only at a tremendous risk.
The days of fancy incomes for the
bird-men are said to be over, and
many Of the professionals have deter
mined to quit the hazardous calling
unless conditions improve.
Recent exhibitions held in ccntin-
entail Europe and in England have
been financial failures and the promo
ters of such meets have retired from
the business. The same condition is
said to prevail in America. and the
ayiators must hereafter be content to
risk their lives for comparatively in
significant sums or abandon the bus
mess.

OVER 100 SAVED IN SOUTH
Flood Twenty Feet Deep Sweeps Away
an Entire Arkansas Town--Refu-
gees Lose Everything.

Memphis, Tenn. The levee at
Helena, Ark, breaking, shot a flood
of water twenty feet deep into the val
ley town OF Modoc, Ark, completely
depopulating the town and washing
out even the strongest houses in the
valley. The great mass of water
formed lake, hemmed in on three
sides by the hills and fed from the
fourth by the river.
The steamer Kate Adams was near
Modoc when the levee broke and res
cued those imperiled. A hundred or
more panic-stricken negroes were Ia
ken from a government barge. Later
motor launches rescued a number of
farm hands from the roofs of cabins.
from trees and peaks of knobs which
were above the water.
The refugees saved none of their be-
longings. Many of them were almost
naked when they reached the river
boats The boat captains and more
fortunate sufferers divided clothing
with the needy.

WILSON in DENIALS
TESTlFIES AS TO ALLEGATIONS
IN EVERGLADES CASE.
Department Has Not Made Ccapiete
Inquiry of Florida
Project.

hington.-Secretary OF Agricul-
ture James Wilson testified before the
house committee on expenditures in
the agricultural department, in an
swer to critics in and out of congress,
on his conduct in connection with re-
ports on the drainage of the Florida
Everglades.
Mr.. Wilson has been under fire OF
opposing interests and factions in
Florida lands and Florida politics.
First he was attacked for permitting
to be published departmental reports
which doomed Everglades lands. and
more recently because he suppressed
the information
Mr.. Wilson denied that the original
excerpt of the report of Major ]. G.
Wright on the Everglades was given
out with his consent This excerpt
was used in advertising purposes in
Florida 1t was obtained in the de-
partment by Henry Clay Hall.
Later, Mr. Wilson said. he wrote
former Governor Gilchrist of Florida
and authorized the publication of
parts Of his letter in relation to the
Everglades,
Mr.. Wilson expressed the opinion
that the department had not made a
complete Investigation of the Ever
glades project on any of the features
covered in the reports in controversy.
He dismissed the details of the riv-
airy between department experts and
their complaints that they were being
robbed of credit for work

DELAYS Of Justice.

A man has been arrested in Aus
tralia for murder committed at CHS
wick in 1908. Legal records supply in
stances of a longer interval than this
between the crime and the arrest. The
leading case is that of Eugene Aram,
who was hanged for the murder of
Clarke fourteen years after the Of
tense. In the eighteenth century
man named Horne was executed for
the murder of his child 35 years after
the crime. There is also the we'll
known case of Governor Wall. who
was hanged in 1902 for murder com
mitted in 1882. But Sir James Ste
phens recalls what is surely the most
remarkable case on record. He prose
cuted, as counsel for the crown. in
1863, a man who was charged with
stealing leaf from parish registry
sixty years before.

MEN ON ICE FLoE SAVED
Lighthouse Keepers, Adrift in Green
Bay 80 Hours, Are Returned
to Shore by Wind.

Marinette.-Like men resurrected,
George and Frank Drew were borne
ashore on their ice raft at Cham
bers island
A sharp wind detached the ice
field on which they were making
their way to shore from the light
house which they tend on Chambers
island, in Green bay For thirty
two hours the pair were on the foe,
floating in the bay and escaping all
rescue efforts of the skiffs that were
in pursuit.
When all hope of rescue had been
practically abandoned, the great
white field again swept into view.
Driven by the wind, which sprang
up two hours before, the mass bore
down on the island and with a crash
piled hunks of ice in small glaciers.
From this debris the brothers in an
exhausted state, made their way to
shore
