amined Langley's old model. And one
and all have declared it to be a prac-
teal heavier than-air flying machine
The trouble, they say, with Lang
ley's trials was that his launching de-
vice was faulty. The engine and wing
spread were scientifically correct.
Mounted on pneumatic tired wheels
and launched after running start
along the ground, there is no doubt,
they say, that Langley's aeroplane,
built four years before the Wright
brothers were heard of. viii fly.
AS a result of these opinions, the
money which was raised to build a
monument to Langley is TO be used
to prove to the world that he was the
builder of the first successful aero
plane, so that he may bear forever the
title of the Father of Aviation. And
foreigners tell us that we are a ma
tion of money grubbers with no ap-
probation of a finer sentiment!

opened quiet at an advance Of to 5

early trading. On the call commission
houses had a few buying orders to fill,
apparently coming from bullish traders
who were entering the market anew and
these purchases put the price to

scattered selling caused a sag. At the
end of the first half hour of business
prices were l point over Tuesdays close.
The weather map was cloudy, but dry,
and was called favorable for farm work.
While the market was very dull
throughout the morning session, the tone
was firm after the middle of the morning.
This was due to rumors of threasene6
squeeze among January shorts in the
New York market. Shorts in all months
were Harmed at these stories and tried to

sary Of the successful dight Of Lang
an anniversary always reverently OBJ
served by the Washington Aero Club,
for the half mile flight of that model
demonstrated first that aviation was
possible. An experienced aviator is to
be hired, the old engine FURNISHED and
put in order, and then, before a pub
lie Assem- bIage which will be honored
by the presence of most of the high
government officials, and probably by
that of the new president Langley's
monument of deathless fame will be
erected. The general arrangements
for the flight are in the hands Of
Charles NJ. Manly, a construction en-
gineer Of New York, who was Lang
ley's assistant and aviator in the IN
successful trials.
On this occasion speakers will re-
late anecdotes which make the mem
ory of Langley so beloved today to
those who knew him. He took up the
study of aviation in the early COS,
when mechanical flight was regarded
as ehimerical dream, the subject for
a scientists contempt and the lay
mans ridicule. Yet Langley, who was
scientist of rank, braved both. There
is still mental picture of him, nearly
sixty years Of age, but older in ap-
pearance, standing on a Potomac
bridge in a bitter December gale that
shook his frail body. He stood there
half hour, for he was watching a
buzzard lettering and balancing in the
blast, and it was only when he was
growing numb with cold that he
dragged himself away. Yet on the
strength of that observation he wrote,

TAxIcAR SERVICE LONDON
TIED UP BY A STRIKE

London, Jan. Am almost complete
tie up Of taxicab service in London was
effected today when the drivers went
on strike. 1t was estimated that 5000
taxicabs stood idle in their garages, the
only taxis running being the few own
ed by individual drivers.
The trouble is largely due to the in
ability Of the companies, as they claim,
to make the taxicab business profitable.
When the vehicles first appeared, the
larger companies reaped a great har-
vest Of profits but lately few of the
companies have been able to pay divi-
dends. On the other hand the drivers
claim that they are unable to make a
living under the agreement that they
furnish their own petrol

After those lamentable failures in
1903, when the Langley aeroplane,

many times splashed kerffop into the
Potomac alongside the houseboat, the
newspapers jibed and ridiculed unmer-

Two Flights in 1895.
In 1896 Langley built his first prac-
teal model aeroplane with a wing
spread Of fourteen feet and a steam
engine for power. In comparison with
the aeroplanes of today 1t was a queer
looking craft-a sort of air phaeton,
low in the middle. On the afternoon
of May 6 it made two flights, each
over half a mile long, staying in air
as long as the steam lasted. And
those who saw it drew in their breath,
for theirs were the first eyes to be-
hold mechanical flight. This model
was self balancing.
In nature Langley was shy and Of a
childish simplicity in many ways. This
diffidence was regarded as brusqueness
by the newspaper men who went to
him for stories. He became very I'M
popular with the writing craft, and
when his man-carrying machine failed
so utterly and Iudicrously the lances
of newspaper wit were turned against
the inventor. He died believing him
self a failure. And he died without
ever having seen a man carrying aero
plane in the air.
After his death the Wrights and
several of the successful French aero
plane inventors acknowledged their
debt to Langley's discoveries and to
his inspiring example.
But Langleys failure never dimmed
his faith in the future Of aerial navi-
CATION. A few weeks before his death
he said:

DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR
Last Thursday Nights Frisco Was
Such.

The affair which took place last Thurs
day evening in front of the Opera House
was the most disgraceful affair that has ever
taken place in Odsnah and amounted to
nearly riot until the police got the mob
under control To the police department
much credit is due for the manner in which
they coped with the situation, having no
Jail in which they could confne their prison
ers their only alternate was in forcing them
to go home which was accomplished after
much persuasive power by the police. The
perpetrators were either taken in custody
or told to leave town. Geo. Vavranek, Ir.
from whom whiskey was, taken was taken
to Ashland where he was released on $780,
90 bail TO appear at the next term OF the
Federal court, while Matt Hook who it is
claimed struck Chief of Police Scott took
french leave as also did Fitzpatrick while
Joseph Fiske was given a hearing in Judge
Oberns court and let GO under suspended
sentence with his promise of abstaining from
whiskey and good behavior for one year.
1t is we'll established fact that we have
one Of the best police forces we have ever
had and every citizen should appreciate this
fact and endeavor to aid them instead Of
causing trouble Be it for once to the
Indians credit that they were not implicated
in this affair. We have expressions from
several of our leading citizens that the police
would have been justified in using their
clubs more freely. Our police department
will shortly be better equipped to cope
with these affairs as the Jail is being pushed
to completion rapidly.

INDIANS CAREFUL HUNTERS
One Hunting Accident on This
~
Reservation

The name of Tom Dennis will go down
through the ages as the only man who was
ever injured III 4 hurting acyidejlt on this
reservation. Alongside the name of Den
mis- appears the name of VIM. Connors, the
man who shot Dennis.
Dennis and Conrors are Indians. They
are also relatives. Dennis is a nephew of
Connors. They are the only two Indians
on this reservation-some say in northern
Wisconsia-who have ever figured in hunt
ing accident.
Hunting accidents are by no means a
rarity among the white hunters, aud everv
season the newspapers chronicle large
nufnker of hunting accidents, but it will be
noticed, that it is indeed rare to hear OF
one Indian shooting another by accident.
In the historical Dennis -Connors accident
Dennis had shot a deer, and was packing
the animal home on his back. His uncle
walked out into clearing just in time to
see the flag of a deer disappear disappear in
the timber on the other side of the clearing,
and he hlazed away at it. He shot the deer
alright, but the deer went. through the ami
NAL, and struck Dennis in the hip. He
made his uncle pack the carcass home, and
was able TO limp back to this village HIM
self, where he was laid upfo a.time.
The reason you never hear of hunting ac-
cidents among the Indians says VIM. La
Pointe of this village 'sIs due to the fact
that the Indians know how to handle guns.
They hunt from the time they are small
boys and hunt every month of the year.
They have learned better than to shoot at
everything they see, II they did we would
have hunting accidents all of the time. An
Indian never shoots at a deer unless he
knows IL Is Dyer -

Heirs of Joseph Demo-
vnie Killed 10 Years Ago
HEARING TO Be HELD This MONTH
AT Ashland AGENCY. Attorney $ Dals
by and Pierelee to Represent HeIrss

An interesting contested will case will be
heard this month at the Indian office in Ash
land in which relatives of Joe Denomie, who
was shot and killed ten years ago, seek to
dispossess Mrs. w. M. Tomkins, of Ash
land of hel one fourth interest in the estate
of Joe Denomie valued at $40, 900.
On the 10th of August 1903 Joe Denomie
of this village was shot through the body by
William Banks, white man. Denomie
was taken to an Ashland hospital where an
operation was performed, but he died six
days later. Two or three days after he had
been taken to Ashland, Denomie made his
will, 1t was made out by the late w. M:
Tomkins, who was also witness to the
will.
By the terms of the will, Denomie gave
everything to his brother Antoine. Later
on Mr.. Tomkins became Antoine's attorney
and Antoine gave him one fourth interest III
the Joe Denomie estate Mrs. Tomkins
received about one half of the amount com.
ing to her. but in the meantime other MEM
bers of the Denomie family decided to con-
test rhe original will. They claim that
undue influence was used with Joe Denomie
while they Law sick at the hospital, that he
was not of sound mind at that time, and
they have made formal complaint through
their attorney Mr.. Dalby, Of Washington,
to set aside the will. -s
The Stearns Lumber Company winch has
been cutting or the land in controversy has
turned over some of the proceeds ftom the
cut to the Indian department. until the Wilt
csse is settled.
All the facts and documents in the case
have been turned over to Indian Agent
Everest at Ashland and some time this
month he will preside at this formal hearing.
Mrs. Tomkins being represented by Tom
kins & Dillon, and the Denomie heirs by
Mr.. Dalby. Simeon Denomie, it,, one of
the heirs has for some time past been active
in the securing of re-hearing in his BROTH
ers ease and has secured the services Of AT
torney V. T. Pierrelee of Ashland to assist
in the case. He futher states that the fees
charged by Tomkins for his seryicns are
too enormous for his services and undoubt-
edy the will thus made will be broken on
the ground above stated md Mrs. Tom
kins forced to pay back to the estate the
amount already secured
