Honors Shared by Brothers.

The honors won by the Wright brothers
in the development of mechanical flight
always have been equally divided between
them IN the mind of the public because
Orviile and Wilbur worked so constantly
together that one was seldom mentioned
without the other. They were remark
ably identical in ideas and ideals and
usually We're alluded to simply as the
Wright brothers." In fact, few people
realized that there We're two other
brothers in the family. Kathrine Wright
first was generally known when she came
TO Fort Myer to nurse Orville after his
accident in 1908.
Wilbur was the elder of the two in
ventors, and il is to be suspected the
leader In designing and laboratory work.
He was an exceptionally skillful operator
OF flying machine, though he seldom let
himself loose in an exhibition flight Pos
sibly Orville Wright was the more skill
rul aviator of the two, but there was
little to choose between them in this
point.
Wilbur was better known in Europe
owing to his exhibitions at lie Mans
Pau and Rome in 1307-S The French
people regard his memory with almost
superstitious reverence. Inns and hotels
at lie Mans, Rheims and Pau retain the
rooms he occupied in exactly the condi-
ton they were in when he was stopping
there. and visitors from the other side
say they have had these rooms pointed
out to them as established sights of the
towns

FEz IS SURROUNDED
BY HOSTILE M0ORS
Advices Received by French
Government Say Situation
Continues Serious.

PARIS, May 3O.-Fez, the Moroccan
capital. Is practically surrounded by hos
tile Moors. according to wireless advices
received by the French government from
Gen. Lyautey. French resident governor,
under date of May %.
Gen. Lyautey says the situation con-
tinues serious. Although a battery Of
French artillery Is due to arrive tomor-
row to reinforce the garrison, the French
troops are still in insufficient numbers to
undertake a decisive offensive sortie from
the city, although capable of holding the
capital against attack
On the afternoon of May 2S the general
reports, the Arabs again fought their way
within the walls of the city, but the
French troops. who had been under arms
almost necessarily for five days, quickly
repulsed them. The Arabs left thirty
dead on the field and undoubtedly carried
off many more. The French lost five SOL
diers killed and eight wounded. In the
course of the earlier fighting the French
casualties numbered sixty wounded.
The Sultan of Morocco had shown signs
of being panic stricken, but has become
reassured since he finds that the popu-
lation of Fez is not joining the attack.

President Gomez of Cuba
Says Revolt Now Exists
Only in 0riente.

HAVANA Cuba, May 3O.-President Co
mez has deemed it expedient to make an
official statement with respect to the
situation as the government views it, and
has issued a proclamation, in which he
says:
"A group of men belonging to the col
ored race have risen in arms and al
though the movement started in various
parts of the republic. it now exists only
in Oriente, having been crushed else
where. thanks to the valor and efficiency
Of the regulars and rurales The rebellion
now consists of misled uprising under
the direction of persons desirous of graft
flying their personal political ambitions
THAT the great majority of the col
ored race repudiates the uprising and re-
mains loyal to the government is proof
that ii is untrue that the whites and
blacks are now standing in an attitude of
hostility. Many thousand colored citizens
bitterly denoLnce the uprising, and are
anxious to lend support to the govern
ment. Among the troops now facing the
enemy blacks and whites march shoulder
to shoulder like brothers.

Marcus was attacked while riding on a
street car as he was returning home

from work and drew a knife while they
were surrounded by passengers.
"Scabr' shouted the stranger, and then
he stabbed Marcus twice in the chest and

Endeavor to Restore Order.

part of Oriente, the government backed

the strength of popular support. will pro-
ceed with the utmost energy to comply
with it's national and International obli-
cations to completely restore order
The inactivity of the national forces is
due to orders issued by the commander
in-chief, Gen. Monteagudo, that general
forward movement was not to be under
taken until his arrival with reinforce
ments In view of this the troops. so far
as could be spared, have been divided
into small detachments and sent out to
guard the plantations and railroads.
The arrival of Gen. Monteagudo at San
tiago on the cruiser Cuba, with his gen.
eral staff and reinforcements to the
number of 6OO, may, however, change
the aspect of affairs. Gen. Monteagudo
will probably reach the front early, when
he intends to begin active operations.

DAYTON. Ohio. May 3O.--Following
sinking spell that developed soon
after midnight. Wilbur Wright, the
noted aviator, died of typhoid fever
at 3;15 today. Wright had been linger-
ing on the border for many days. and
though his condition from time to time
gave some hopes to members of his
family, the attending physicians. Drs.
D. B. Conklin and Levi Splitter. main
tained throughout the latter part of
his illness that he could not recover.
When the patient succumbed to the
fever that had been racking his body
for days AID nights he was surround
ed by the members of his family.
which includes his aged father, Bishop
Milton Wright: Miss Catherine Wright,
Orville, the co-inventor of the aero
plane; Reuchlin Wright and Lorin
Wright. All of the family reside in
this city, except Reuchlin. who lives
in Kansas.
The most alarming symptoms in
Wright's illness developed yesterday
shortly after noon. when his fever
suddenly mounted from 104 to 106. and
then quickly subsidized to it's former
stage At this juncture of the crisis
the patient was seized with chills, and
the attending physicians were baffied
by the turn of events The condition
OF the aviator remained unchanged
throughout the rest of the day, and
there was no improvement until last
midnight.
Doctor Finds Patient Dead.
Then Wright began to show an i'm
provement and the watchers at his bed
side were reassured.
After resting for a few hours after
last midnight Wright's condition took a
sudden turn for the worse and his prin-
cipal physician, DIR. d. B. Conklin, was
called. The doctor arrived at 3:25 and
learned that Mr.. Wright had breathed
his last a few minutes before.
The noted patient was seized with ty-
phoid fever May 4, while on business
trip in the east. On that day he re-
turned to Dayton from Boston and con-
suited DR.. Conklin, the family physician
He took to his bed almost Immediately
and il was several days before his case
was definitely diagnosed as typhoid.
Throughout the early part of his illness
Wright attributed his sickness to some
fish that he had eaten at a Boston hotel

aviator had not been completed early to-
day.

SENATE HOLDS SESSION
DESPITE THE HOLIDAY
Members Anxious to Act on
Some of the important
Pending Legislation.

Congress partially observed Decora-
ton day. Up in the dome, 375 feet
above the streets. four flags pointing
in many directions flung to the
breeze, and the Stars and Stripes fut-
tered over other parts of the Capitol
and the Senate and House Office build
ings. The House was not in session
and it's offices were deserted
The Senate. clogged with important
pending legislation. convened at noon
with the expectation that it would pass
by nightfall the House steel and iron
tariff revision bill. along with numer-
Gus amendments. Among these were
the repeal of the Canadian reciprocity
act with Canada. which the Dominion
farm implements on the free list. the
imposition of a duty of 50 ton on
print paper from the world alike, and
reductions In the tariff on pig iron and
ferro- Silicon.
To Be Fought Out in Conference.
All these amendments will have to be
fought out in conference between the
two houses. The present free entry of
paper from Canada on a condition pre-
cedent that the pulps and paper must be
made from unrestricted woods is the
only provision of the Canadian reciprocity
bill that ever was effective and it has
been in force since July 26 last 1t could
be nullified only by repeating provision
of Congress.
The bill would impose 81 ton duty
on all paper from every country alike
supplanting the present free entry from
certain provinces of Canada. and the
$375 a ton how imposed elsewhere than
Canada, which is the principal source OF
wood pulp paper.
Various other countries have been seek
ing the same conditional free entry of
paper as so far has been accorded Can
ada under the provision which the Senate
purposes to have repealed.

SAVED AS
WOMEN FLEE FIRE
Policemen Stem Tenement
Panic and Garry Man
to Street.

Women fleeing in a wild panic from
a fire at IS Monmouth street at noon
today were seriously delayed In their
escape by the slow descent Of a Grip
pie named Julius Garodnack, who was
among those caught by the flames.
The fire broke out in a clothes
closet in the rooms of Nathan
Rudolfsky, on the third floor, and the
flames spread rapidly. The people
on the third and fourth floors had
little time for escape.
The stairs became greatly congest-
ed on account of the presence of
the cripple. who was finally assisted
to the street by Patrolmen Schmidt
and Hannenburg. 1t was a miracle
that no one was hurt in the mad rush
down the several flights of stairs to
the street.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
An alarm was turned in by Abraham
Miller, of 81 Monmouth street. and
the iremen reached the scene in
time to prevent the spread of the
flames to the nearby houses.
The damage amounted to about
$500. There were two-score- of people
who made a successful escape from
the building. aided by the prompt
and effective work of the two police
men.
