DR.. Mitchell said the first connec-
ton in an official way which he had
ever had with the Peabody board had
been when he received a letter from
DR.. Johnson, while he was still at
Richmond College, just after his cleo
ton to the presidency here, informing
him that a vacancy had occurred on
the Peabody board which was to be
filled from this State. DR.. Johnson
asked his cooperation in getting
Governor Ansel elected to fill the va
cancy. So he had lent his influence
20 getting Governor Ansel elected tc
the board
The last change Of the policy OF the
board with reference to the distribu,
ton of the fund occurred in 1903, a
which time it was decided to aid from
that time forward the educational de
uartments of the State universities
the board being actuated by the neces
sity of providing men superintendents
principals and teachers for the highe
schools. At the same time, it wa
decided to give part of the fund 70

FATHER OF FLYING MACHINES
$. r.. Langley Died of Broken Heart
When His Invention of Seventeen
Years Ago Failed.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. years
ago today the first heavier-than-air
flying machine took wind from a Sc
cluded spot on the Potomac and after
a short fight fell to destruction
while its inventor, the late Professor
Samuel P Langley, looked on and
the world laughed Not long after
ward he died from a broken heart,
many of his friends say, from ridicule
heaped upon him because he thought
he could invent flying machine. .
But at the Smithsonian Institution
a group of scientists whose names
are known to the world gathered to
unveil tablet to his memory as the
father of advanced aviation and to
present their medals to Glenn Curtis
and Gustave Eiffel, who have carried
on the work Langley left off. Curtis
was present, but Ambassador Jusser-
and received the medal for EiffeI.
Army and navy officers carrying on
the development of aviation were
present and many of the notables of
Washington life came to pay homage
to the memory of Langley.

SAW MANS SOUL DEPART
Womans Vision of Butterfly Leaving
Body at Death Mystifies the
Psychologists.

WASHINGTON Washington sci
entists are mystified today over the
case of Mrs. David H. Baldwin of
Montclair. N. j., who declares she
saw the soul of her father-in-law
leave his body in the form of a but
terfiy.
Prof. Pace of the Catholic UniYer-
sity, one of the most noted psyeholo-
gists in this country. declared that
the case puzzled him, and while, with
only the meager reports at hand, he
would not pass final judgment he said
the vision might have been the result
of hallucination. He admitted that
it was the first case of the kind of
which he had ever known.
Scientists of the National Museum
and Carnegie Institution were like
wise in the dark on the case and were
loath to venture any opinion, as to
the source of this remarkable phe-
nomenon
Mrs. Baldwin thus describes the
sight:
There came from between his lips
a shadow diaphanous form, shaped
like the wings of a butterfly, and con-
joined at the lowest angles. These
wings, perhaps a foot in length,
seemed to support nothing, and slow
ly arose, higher and higher.
Il made an involuntary motion to
grasp the wings, and just at that
moment there flashed into my dazed
brain the conviction that my father
in-law was dead l looked upon his
face, and l knew life had gone.
When | looked up again the wings
had vanished"

|GITTING TOO HOT" SAYS GAME WARDEN

that Warden Mercer has nothing to
do. He recognizes the fact that sew
eral own land over which the pond
waters spread, and if the water was
drained off the land would instantly
revert to those parties, and the pond
could not be refiIled.
That such land owners have fish
ing rights over the land owned by
them is recognized by the state game
warden, and he holds that no outsider
can fish in this pond without having
gained the consent of the land owner
where the fishing takes place.
In the waters of this pond are to
be found large mouth bass, big perch,
and blue and red bellied Dream and
many other kinds of the best and
gamest fish. 1t is not TO be wonder
ed at that the privilege of fishing
there is eagerly sought, and should
become a matter of feud conditions
between the legal authorities and
those who have been fishing in the
pond for scores of years.
/ Warden Mercer has held one con-
ference with Governor Brown and
the attorney general on the situation.
Another conference will be held in
the next day or so. There will be no
occasion for the governor to inter
cede in any way unless conditions
become so lawless that local author
It.es are unable 10 cope with The SIT
a;ion. This ie nof unprecedented.
Mercer Determined.
Warden Mercer is grimly determin-
ed to enforce the law regardless of
all opposition. He says he will go in
person to Midtown and will stay
there until the law is enforced to the
letter.
A decision of the court iof appeals
today bears upon this very question,
in that section of the act of 1911
is made clear. This decision is in
the case of Robinson VS.. the state,
from Thomas county, where there
was a conviction for violation OF the
game law in fishing in the Ochloch-
nee river. The court expressly and
plainly states that the consent OF
the land owner is an essential condi-
ton precedent to the right to hunt
or FISH on his lands. " The appellate
court continues:
"One who fishes upon the lands of
another without his consent is guilty
of a misdemeanor. without reference
to the character Of the water from
which the fish are taken. Hence, one
who enters upon the land of another
without his consent and while there

UP A TREE WITH PICKANINNl
MAN HELD NEGRO BABY FOR IA
HOURS IN FLOOD DISTRICT.
Kentuckian Has Queer Experience in
Rescuing COaored Family. Mother
Spent Night i'll Praying.

CARUTHERSVILLE, Mo.-A- w
Wallace, who lives near Hickman
KY, says it is truly a trying expert
ence to sit in a tree top all night
holding a negro baby while the winds
sing "Rock-a-by Baby in the Tree
Top" while below rushes the turbid
flood of a Mississippi overflow.
Wallace had exactly that expert
ence in the recent flood. He and Lee
Salmon, who lives near him, were
taking a negro, negress and two
negro children from Medly, Mo, tc
Hickman in a gasoline launch. Just
in front of the break in the Medly
levee the rudder went wrong, the
boat was swept through the crevasse
and out into the woods. 1t was 8 p
m. and darker than any boatload OF
darkies that ever darkened land
scape.
The launch bumped hard against
tree. The gasoline supply pipe and
one of the electric wires were Jared
loose. From the rocking of the boat
the wire came in contact with the
carbuertor, making spark which
ignited the gasoline.
In a few seconds the launch was
mass of flames The negro observed
the ancient rule of me first and
climbed the tree. where he chung to
a limb. The white men helped the
negress and the older child to climb
the tree Salmon went up next, leay-
ing Wallace in the burning boat with
the pickaninny, months old.
Wallace, just after the craft was
floating away enveloped in flames
which lit the eerie forest with lurid
glare, seized the infant and managed
to make his way with it up neigh
boring tree.
In the upper branches he sat all
night and until rescue came at 10 a.

by. The infant slept some and wept
some. It's mother. in a tree nearby,
now and then broke the silence with
loud prayers of deliverance.
Holly Henderson went to the relief
of the tree-marooned mariners in a
launch. The craft destroyed was the
one which Charles Griswold and his
bride used on their wedding trip last
summer from Davenport, Ia, to Hick-
man.

GOTHAM'S BUILDING RECORD
NEW BUILDING ERECTED IN CITY
EVERY FIFTY-NINE MINUTES.
Five Million Pounds Of Food Is Con-
sumed Annually, According to :
New Figures Just Compiled.

New Figures Just Compiled.
NEW YORK.-One new building
erected every ffty-nine minutes and
more than two hundred pounds Of
food per capita consumed every day,
or more than five billion pounds a
year, are two marks which this city
has now reached which it is believed
exceed anything of the sort on rec
ord. The real intent of these gigan-
tic figures is better understood when
it is realized that in the course of
year New York is now erecting near
ly 10000 new buildings which at an
average height of only five stories
would equal one structure fifty thous-
and stories or eighty miles in hight
There are many good-sized cities in
the country, it is pointed out, which
do less building in year than New
York does in a week, while the yearly
construction here is sufficient to
house the population Of all but few
of the larger cities. The new figures
covering the food consumption are
even more staggering since the five
billion pounds consumed would be
more than sufficient to supply num-
Der of European principalities. Curl
ously enough in this huge total milk
is the biggest single item totaling
nearly 1,4O0,O0O.0OO pounds Next
in order come meats with 6S4,315,-
600 pounds, followed by vegetables
with 684,315,0 900 pounds, bread with

Result of Issue.

Mr.. Crisp introduced his bill it is
understood, because of the issue now
raised in the Green case.
If this bill should become a law
cases in the District will hereafter
be punished with death unless the
jury specifically recommend lighter
punishment.
Congressman Crisp's bill is fash
toned after the Georgia law and its
introduction was prompted by the le-
gal controversy which has arisen in
the case of Green. He attempted to
plead guilty in order to get a life SEN
tence and when the court refused
to accept the plea the jury exercised
its privilege, under existing law, and
recommended death.

DROVE AUTO IN HIS SLEEP.
New Jersey soap Agent Made Re-

HidFhaDlo zen MAlo num-
That while asleep he drove a high
power automobile ten miles through
Delaware river front towns is the re-
markable claim made by w L. King,
a soap agent. King refused to con
slider the matter in the light of a

Near Riverton, n. j., King said, he

Der an incident of the last ten miles.
Kings own belief is that while his

instinct
