The several schools west of
Roman, including the one in 49,
20 known as the Elliott school,
are holding a picnic today at the
junction Of Mud and Crow creeks.
Seven schools in all are partici-
pating. The Pioneer acknowl-
edges an invitation to be present,
extended by H. r. Robedeau of
the GrandvieW school, but it be-
ing press day, with lots of other
duties OBTAINING, it is impossible
to accept. The several schools
conclude the years work today.
Robert H. Croucher left today
for Hamilton for a ten days visit
with his family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Singer

The Missoula team In the
Union association now holds the
record for games won. Up to
Monday last this team had won
16 out of II games played, doing
one better than the Pittsburg
Pirates, which team held the
record up to that date, being Is
won out of Is played.
The Roman schools close today
with a picnic after a very sue
cessful year. All the pupils have
done we'll and there is no fault to
find with the trustees in re-en-
gaging any of the teachers. The
only thing we fear now is that
some of them may not be as
signed to Roman and that some
body entirely unsatisfactory will
be given the Roman schools. |
There is one thing very certain
and that is that the patrons of
the schools here will not tolerate
the assignment of a teacher who
has been unsatisfactory to other
schools of the district, and the
trustees may as we'll know it now
IS afterward.

rated at 100 h. D. The fl cylinders of the machine revolve about a stationary shaft. The weight of the Bullet is $50 pounds.
 Wing Spread of 32 Feet.
 The fuselage or body of the machine is torpedo shaped, having Q section four feet through at the point where the aviator sits and tapering sharply to point in the front and more grad ually in the rear. The nose of the machine is made of sheet aluminium having a series of holes stamped in it to permit of efficient cooling of the motor which it encloses. The main planes attach to the center of the fuselage just behind the motor while at the rear of the fuselage are the small triangular shaped elevator and the vertical rudder. At the extreme rear is a three bladed propeller The general dimensions of the machine are as follows: Length over all 20 feet 6 inches; spread, 32 feet; width of wings, feet at body and tapering slightly towards the tips. The machine em- bodies many novel features in it's de- sign and has been greatly admired by the airmen who have seen it. No pains were spared in the construction of the Bullet to make it the finest ma chine possible, and it was up to the minute in every respect.
 First Built Here.
 The machine was first built in this city and in April was taken to New York. Following a slight accideht, the machine was rebuilt practically as be- fore and exhibited at the New York aero show, where it attracted much at tention and much favorable comment.
 New Design Made Much Stronger.
 Following the show, the machine was entirely rebuilt, the wings being practically all that remained of the Norwich machine In it's new design the machine was very much stronger and to this added strength is probably due Mir Gallaudet's life. When the machine struck the ground 1t landed damage was great and it is probable that the motor and one wing are al that will be used in rebuilding the Bull let
 Just what MT. Gallaudet's plans arc for the future are not positively knowr here. It is probable that he will re- build the machine and continue flying MT. Gallaudet is a graduate of bott i the Wright and Nieuport schools ant holds a license in France.
 Emil Stevens, who was employed by Mir. Gallaudet both in this city and a l Hampstead. was on the field and wit. messed the accident MT. Stevens, wht i Is now at his home in this city, feel | that there is but little doubt that Mir l Gallaudet will return to the aviation | game as soon as he recovers from hi | injuries. The machine may be rebuil in this city.

FREIGHT CREW WILL
 BE BEFORE CORONER.
Investigation Into Stonington Wreck to Continue Today - Engineer Claims Curve Shut Out the Red Signal.

The inquiry begun by Coroner Franklin H. Brown Thursday into the collision between an Adams Express train and a freight train Thursday morning at Stonington Junction on the New Haven road, which resulted in two deaths and injury to several other persons, will be continued today in New London, when the coroner will examine members of the freight train crew.
 In his investigation immediately af- ter the wreck the coroner interviewed Engineer c. H. Mansfield and Conduc- tor w. A. Billingham of the express. Mansfield told him that the train was three hours and 10 minutes late and was running 50 miles an hour. He saw the distance signal set clear, but owing to the fact that he was round ing curve could not see the red sig nal set against him. His fireman, Frederick c. Hadley, called his atten- ton to it. They were then close upon it. He applied the emergency brakes, but did not know whether they work ed befoe the crash came, Neither he nor his fireman could jump, he told the coroner, Hadley being caught by his hands in the wreckage and he by his foot Conductor Billingham said he was in the eighth car back from the engine and knew nothing of the wreck till the brakes set

GOVERNMENT WILL TEST
 CAPT. BELLS DEVICE.
Inventor, We'll Known Here, Gets Up Arrangement for Lowering Life Boats.

A Washington despatch says: In the office of Senator Lodge curious visi- tors may see a model of a device in vented by A. F. Bells of Boston, Mass, for hoisting and lowering lifeboats at sea. Wednesday Senator Lodge in- troduced a bill authorizing the Secre- tary of the Treasury to test this de- vice upon revenue cutters, and called for an appropriation of $1,g00 for this purpose. The device consists in a combination davit which raises the boat from the deck, swings it out at least a boats length from the ship, and automatically releases it when it reaches the water
 Captain Bells is well known in this city, having often visited here, being an uncle of Mrs. Eugene E. Main of Rochester, formerly of this city. He has invented a number of devices which the government has taken up and has always been interested in new inventions pertaining to ships.

 The accident occurred on the initial flight of the machine, which had been in the air probably not more than, two minutes before it with it's operator fell a distance of something over 100 feet Experienced aviators who witnessed the accident ascribed the unfortunate occurrence to the unusual speed of the machine, which rendered it un
