LONCREN GOOD FLYER
Local Altman Has Never Had al
Accident.

The Topeka aviator, A. K. Longren,
will fly late today at the fair groundss
weather conditions permitting. He will
also fly at 4:30 o'clock Thursday.
This is the Topeka mans twelfth
meet since he began his flights last
September. He does not do spiral
glides, or other daredevil stunts, as he
values his neck too highly. However,
he has made a great showing at meets
by his altitude flights, and. the graceful
circles he turns.
The altitude record of the aviator IS
$500 feet, and he has been in the air
80 minutes at one time. His flights
range from 10 to 80 minutes in duration.
Never has he had a smash-up The
only difficulty he has encountered was
in the nature of a broken propeller.
His machine, 1.-THE Dixie Flyer which
was made in Topeka, is much larger
than the bi-pIane used by Bud Mars
two years ago on the Taylor tract.
The people will be given the oppor-
tunity to inspect the machine. There
will be no charge for inspection as Is
sometimes the case.
The next flights by Longren will be
made in Burlington Tuesday and We'd
nesday of next week.

NOW COME "KICKS."
City Valuations Shrink Rapidly Before
Board of Review.

The penalty for an offense commit
ted in Topeka should be sentence to
the city board of review This board
is now in session at the city hall try
ing to adjust the assessment on pro-
perty inside the city limits.
All day line of taxpayers have been
waiting in the office of the city clerk
for chance to tell their assessment
troubles to the board. And their trou-
bles are not little ones.
Here is a sample:
Excited woman: You have valued
my property at $1,000. Do you know
that for five years we have been try
ing to get $500 for the place. I don't
know what you men were looking at
when you placed a $1,000 value on that
place Why. honestly, my next door
neighbor has a house that cost $4,000
to build. It has a sleeping porch, tiled
bathroom fine hot water furnace, and
everything. is built in. And you only
valued that place at $1,000 I will not
stand for it one minute-just mind
you-I won't do it,
Then the board combs its whiskers
and hollers-"Next!"
1t would be a lesson for real estate
men to listen at the value property
owners place on their house-when they
have to pay taxes on it.

NOW IN DEATH HOUSE
Richeson Passed a Restless Night and
Ate Little Breakfast.

Boston, May 15.-Clarence Richeson
passed his first night in the death
house of the state prison at Charles
town tossing and turning on his cot.
Breakfast from the prison hospitals
kitchen was served to him but he
could eat little. Shortly afterward he
was visited by tie Rev. Herbert S.
Johnson, pastor of the Warren Avenue
Baptist church, who visited Richeson
frequently at the Charles street Jail.
Many persons morbidly inclined
have applied for permission to inspect
the death house, evidently hoping to
get a glimpse of Richeson. The law,
however, declares that the only per-
sons who may see prisoner awaiting
his execution are the prison officials, a
minister selected by the prisoner and
the warden. and members of the fam
lily of the condemned. The warden has
suspended all visiting privileges for
three weeks. Late this afternoon
Governor Foss had not received the
reports of Drs. Stedman, futile and
Frost, the alienists appointed to ex-
anime Richeson as to his sanity.

TWO CONVENTIONS.
Taft and Roosevelt Men Divided in
Washington.

Washington.
Aberdeen, Wash, May 15.-Dele-
gates to the Republican state con-
vention here today had divided into
two conventions before sunup. The
Roosevelt adherents, ignoring what
they chose to consider an olive branch
extended by Taft forces last night in
the seating of Roosevelt delegates
from Pierce county, over a Taft dele
cation, announced that the Pierce
county men would not enter the thea
ter picked by the committee on ar
rangements. Inasmueh as the con-
vention call specified Aberdeen as the
place of meeting, but did not name
any particular spot, the Roosevelt
men asserted that their standing be-
fore the national convention could not
be injured by holding a convention,
which is what they decided to -.
About 300 seats were conteS and
the predoninance of Taft men IN the
central committee led the Roosevelt
adherents to believe their case hope
less unless they held a separate con-
vention- Their decision was confirm
ed when the committee decided to seat
the so-called sshand-picked' delega-
ton from King county (Seattle),
headed by former United States Sena-
tor John L. Wilson and Samuel H.
Piles.
Both sides acted under instructions
fon erastern headquarters. and efforts
on the part of Governor Marion Hay
and others to effect q compromise
were fruitless.

The passengers, 1t was announced,
