RAILROAD MEN
PAY SHORT VISIT
TO BRUNSWICK
OFFICIALS OF A., 3. & A. AND
NORFOLK SOUTHERN ON
INSPECTION TRIP,
President Atkinson and General Man
ager sonnyman Accompanied to the
City by President and General Man
agsr of the Virginia Line.

brunswick was visieed on Wednes-
DAY by prominent party of railroad
officials, who came into the city on
two private cars, spent several hours
ON an inspection trip and left Wednes-
day hight over the Southern. NJ
Those in the party were H. M. Al ~
klnson, president of the A, B. & -
K. T. Lamb, president of the Norfd
Southern, Alex Bonnyman, gened3}
manager of the A, B. & A., w. Rs
Hudson, general superintendent of the
Norfolk Southern, and H. w. Lum,
formerly superintendent of bridges
and buildings of the Southern rail
way. The party is travelling IN the
private cars of President Atkinson
and President Lamb.
While in the city these officials Wis
tied the terminals of the A, 9. & A.
at the south end and inspected other
property owned by the road. When
questioned as to the purpose of their
visit, the officials stated that they
were merely here on an inspection
tour and were going to take a trip
over the entire system.
Just what the presence of the Nor
folk Southern officials meant is not
known. Thae road is in no way what
ever connected with the A., B. & A.
and the fact that the president and
general manager are accompanying
President Atkinson and General Man
ager Bonnyman on trip over the
A, B. & A. started various reports
as TO railroad deal, which have
been current for the past few weeks
VIII ether or not the Norfolk Southern
is owned by some other line which
has an eye on the A, B. & A. is not
known, but there is something signiti-
cant in the fact that the officials Of
the Virginia road are making a spe-
cial inspection trip over the A, b.
& A.
None of the officials, however, had
anything to say ON the subject, stat
ing that they were merely out on
general inspection of the road and
were being accompanied by the Nor
folk Southern officials

Impossible in Flying Machines
Astsanded World.

days and nights in the throes of a
burning fever.
Taken i'll with typhoid fever sew
eral weeks ago, Wright had been lin
sering on the border for many days,
"n' though his condition from time
to time gave some hopes to members
of his family, the attending physician
maintained throughout the latter part
Of his illness that he could not re-
cover.
As death approached all members
of his family gathered at the bedside,
including his aged father, Bishop Mil

Wright's Life Story.

A narrative Of Wilbur Wright's ca
reer is the story of a man who fol.
lowed the light of his dreams and
contrived machine for aerial navi-
CATION that stands out spectacularly
among the wonders of a century of
inventions.
Wilbur Wright, with his h, ner,
Orville, dreamed of building a craft
that would dart through the air with
the speed Of hawk, that would defy
the storm, that. would transform the
art of warfare and revolutionize the
methods of transportation. IN the
nin[sgears that followed their first
sucfxssful test at Kittyhawk, n. c.,
the N@haye seen their aeroplane driven
more than two miles up into space,
have heard the purr of their machines
as they Whirled on their way across
the continent and have watched great
croWA1s stand aghast in anticipation
as a grceful biplane scared threat
eningly over the fighting mast Of a
giant warship, which might have been
seen careening to destruction by a
bomb from the tiny machine lowering
above it.
When death smote Wilbur he and
his brother still were dreaming Of
further achievements, their chief in
terest being centered in the making
of machine that would possess
greater stability and increased carry

Grew Worse Wednesday.

The most alarming symptoms in Mr.
Wrlsht's sickness developed yester-
day shortly before moon. when his
fever suddenly mounted from 104 de-
grees up to 106 degrees, and then
quickly subsided to its former stage.
At this juncture of the crisis the pa
tient was seized with chills, and the
attending physicians were baffled by
the turn of events.
The condition of the aviator re-
mained unchanged throughout the
rest of the day, and there was no
material change until last midnight.
Then Mr.. Wright began to show some
Improvement, and the watchers at his
bedside were encouraged. Shortly af-
terwards, however, the patient took
a sudden turn for the worse, and his
principal physician, DR.. D. B. Conklin,
was called. The doctor arrived at
1926 o'clock, and learned that Mr.
Wright had breathed his last a few
minutes before.
Mr.. Wright was taken ill on May
while on a business trip to the East.
On that day he returned to Dayton
from Boston and consulted DR.. Conk-
lin, the family physician. He went
to bed Immediately, but it was sew
eral Gays before his case was definite
ly diagnosed as typhoid. Throughout
the early part of his illness, Mr..
Wright believed he was suffering as
a result of some fish he had eaten
at Boston hotel

BRISTOL GIVES
 POLICE BOARD LIVELY SESSION
Conmmissioner Makes Blunt Statement Of His Views
 In Police Matters.

The even tenor of the police board s ways was given a jolt at the meet ing of the commissioners at headquar- ters, last evening, when Police Com missioner Lou P. Bristol came out with several sweeping declarations.
 Bristol wants the cops to keep away from his house.
 . He wants the report system lacked up so that they will keep in close com munication with headquarters.
 He wants the police. sergeants to the conduct of their men as disclosed in their regular rounds
 He wants roWdies in the South End driven off the corners.
 He wants a full complement in the department, and when a regular man reasons, he wants special on duty in his place.
 All these things he laid before the board in his usual emphatic manner. It became apparent from what he said that he has been annoyed by police men running to his home to seek his aid in the distribution of favors.
 Among his other remarks Bristol said he understood the South End citi- zens would pay $1O reward for the dis cOvery of policeman in that vicinity. It was in this connection that he ask ed to see the reports of sergeants and suggesed that they be made more complete.
 . A communication was received from Coroner J. J. Phelan suggesting more careful attention to alcoholic prison CTS. This was the outcome of the death of Stefan 4zacsury of Hansen avenue, who was found dead in a padded cell. The commissioners main tained in their discussion that the man had not been neglected.

Chance For Boys To Learn How To Swim

Records show that the majority of persons accidentally drowned could not swim. Thousands of men and boys lose their lives yearly in this way in the United States. Realizing the importance of the art of swimming the Y. M. c. A. has thrown it's doors open to the boys of the public schools and those who cannot swim will be given an opportunity to learn. Les sons will be given for seven days be- ginning May 22. Tickets have been distributed among the different schools. Boys that are 10 years of age or more who cannot swim will be given these tickets by their teach CTS. The card will be signed by the boy and his teacher and upon pre- sentation to the physical director of the Y. M. C. A. on the days noted on the card he will be registered and will have the privilege of receiving seven lessons in the alt of swimming without any charge. A similar cam paign was carried on last year and many boys learned to swim but with better facilities at hand this season it is expected that greater and more efficient work will be done. The wa ter in the swimming pool will be kept at temperature of 80 degrees and will be running continuously through the filter and into the pool thereby assuring clear pure water. A corps of leaders will assist in the instruc- ton and they will be ready to handle as many boys as apply for lessons Dr. Deane is desirous that every boy who cannot swim will take advantage of this opportunity.
