Two Persons Necessary,

Writing in the Militar Wochenblatt. an
unofficial organ of the Prussian war min
istry, on the development of aerial craft
and their military Importance, Capt.
Schmidt of the 18th Bavarian Infantry
Regiment makes several interesting sus-
gestions. He remarks that the presence
of at least two persons in every aero
plane has been proved to be absolutely
necessary. One of these persons must at
tend to the technical direction of the
aeroplane while the other makes obser.
vations.
Capt. Schmidt also points out that the
types at present employed by the various
military powers are very much alike,
which renders it practically impossible
for flying men to distinguish between
their own and foreign machines 4 way
will have to be found. he says to obviate
this difficulty. Furthermore, he declares
that the task of approaching the enemy
as inconspicuously possible must be
made easier for the pilot, and in his
opinion the machines must be painted
with color that renders their discovery
difficult. Some means must also, he adds,
be discovered OF rendering the humming

Can't Bring Himself, Though, to
Appreciation of Commoner's
Kind of HighbaIIs.

Representative Samuel L. Olive OF
Richmond is kept mighty busy most

William Jennings Bryan. Generally
he makes a first class job of it.
Not only does Mr. Olive look the
part of the Peerless Leader but he
acts 1t in numerous ways, particular
Iy in speaking.
Olive, admittedly, is the very best
orator in the House.
In one way, though, Mr.. Olive fears
he never shall come to be entirely
like the Peerless-for the life of him,
the gentleman from Richmond is I'M

House, but has had considerable Leg

he knows his way around amazingly
well. He is popular and influential
and regular in his attendance on the
sessions, both of the House and his
committees.
Because of his marked facial re-

LIVERPOOL, July 11.-Many per-
sons were hurt here to-day in street
fighting between men and women
which followed an attempt by mill
tant suffragettes to attack the car
rage in which King George and
Queen Mary were driving through the
city.
The attack followed wild scene IN
Lord Street when Miss Jolly, secre-
tary of the Liverpool branch of the
Women's Social and Political Union
made lone raid, smashing hundreds
of dollars worth of plate glass win
dows.
The local militant leaders had laid
plans for the biggest suffrage demon
stration Liverpool has ever seen. be-
cause of the presence here to-day OF
the King and Queen, who are making
a tour of England.
Great Precautions Taken.
Extraordinary police precautions
had been taken to guard their majes-
ties from attack. as it was feared that
the militants, who have been unusu-
ally active here of late, would attempt
to interfere with the progress of the
royal party and perhaps commit ac-
tual assault.
Soldiers co-operated with police
and detectives in policing the streets
and in protecting the King and Queen
from the crowds.
Just before the royal party turned
into Lord Street Miss Jolly appeared,
dashing into the crowd of spectators
and brandishing a poker above her
head, she scattered them right and
left. Screaming denunciations of the
Government. she sent her weapon
crashing into the plate glass win
dows, doing h4ndreds of dollars
worth of damage.
Several policemen overpowered her
while she struggled with maniacal
fury. She was locked up. This Incl
dent alarmed the authorities, for it
served as a clew that the women
planned an active day.
Royal Carriage Attacked.
Half an hour later the attack upon
the royal carriage occurred. From a
break in the police lines several wom-
en- ran into the street. They hurled a
quantity of suffrage literature into
the carriage and one Of them seized
the door and tried to wrench it open
Another ran toward the horses heads
to stop them.
An equerry leaped to the street and
grappled with one of the women. and
in an instant the others were seized
by policemen. In the meantime, how
ever, supporters of the militants had
swarmed to the aid of their sisters
and a fight began.
Women attacked men and men re-
taliated. Fists, clubs and hatpins
we're the chief weapons. Many were
knocked down and trampled. The po-
lice made number of arrests.

B|GGERARMY
POST HERE
CERTAIN
Garrison's Plan to CentraIize Reg
uIars Will Result in Enlarge
ment Of Fort Mcpherson.

That Secretary of War Garrison's
plan to abandon 100 or more "abso-
lutely useless" posts in a move 20
centralize the army will mean an
enlargement of Fort Mcpherson, max
ing 1t one of the largest in the coun-
try, is the consensus of opinion of
army men here, including Colonel
vanOrsdale, of the Seventh Regiment.
Nor is this opinion haphazard
guess. The officers base their knowI-
edge Of the matter largely on re-
marks made by General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff. on his last visit
to Atlanta.
IF the plan of centralizing tbs
army, which has been under consid-
Grafton for several years, is put into
effect" said General Wood on this
occasion, Fort Mcpherson will be-
come one of the largest posts in the
country"
Wood to Advise Secretary.
AS General Wood will be one of tho
chief advisers of Secretary Garrison,
accompanying him on his tour Of the
posts, there is little doubt, It is point
ed out, that the Georgia post will re-
ceive favorable consideration. T.
Garrison, General Wood and Quar-
termaster General Aleshlre, who will
make the inspection of the army
posts, will begin their tour next week.
Atlanta is too strategic a point for
the War Department even to con-
slider its abandonment, according to
Colonel VanOrsdale.
Il hardly think 1t is possible that
Fort Mcpherson is being included in
plans for army post abandonment"
said he. IF such movement is on
foot, | would be inclined to believe
that 1t has to do with posts in the
West and on the frontier, which are
lutte a distance from the railroad and
which hold but a handful of troops in
many cases.
Atlanta a Strategic Point.
THE location of Fort Mcpherson
puts US within twelve hours of the
Atlantic and twelve hours of the Gulf
coasts, the great number of railroads
entering Atlanta making It a central
point. There are other big advan-
tages also which make the abandon
ment of this post out of the question,
it seems to me.
IF troops are to be concentrated,
Congress must first appropriate
money with which to build quarters
at the larger posts sufficient to ac-
commodate a much larger number of
men. For instance. there has been
talk of making Fort Mcpherson
brigade post, but before this can be
accomplished it will be necessary TO
put up additional buildings. believe
a sufficient appropriation for this will
be granted If Secretary Garrison de-
cides to continue the post"
When questioned as to the probable
abandonment of Fort Oglethorpe, at
Chickamauga Park, Colonel VanOrs-
dale said he did not believe the War
Department would consider its elimi-
nation, as it is a splendid strategic
po{pt

CAUSED
DEATH

He Gave Capitalist Drugs as
StimuIantS.

The arrest of Mrs. Mary Belle
Crawford on the charge Of poisoning
J. b. Crawford was recommended by
a verdict of the Coroner of Carroll
County, read at the hearing in the
famous will case before ]. N. Ander-
son. auditor.
The verdict was:
We, the jury, find that the de-
ceased came to his death from
poison administered by Mrs. Mary
Belle Crawford, and recommend
that she be held for Investigation
ny the Fulton Grand Jury.
The inquest was held Thursday in
Carrollton. 1t was an adjourned ses-
sion Of the first inquest on June -.
when the body was exhumed. DR.. II.
F. Harris, Of the State Board of
Health. and Miss Viola Whitman,
woman who lived with the Crawfords
after the marriage, were the wit
nesses.
DR.. Harris testified to finding NOR
phine in the stomach, and that in his
opinion Crawford did not die of pneu-
monia or any disease Of the lungs.
Saw Medicine Given.
Miss Whitman testified to seeing
Mrs. Crawford give her husband med
icine from a small vial.
Attorneys for Mrs. Crawford al
lowed the verdict to be submitted as
evidence, but stated to the auditor
that they would later file an objec-
ton on the grounds of the inquest
not having been legal They stoutly
maintained that before the hearing
ends they will introduce positive EVIL
dence that Crawford died Of pneumo-
MIA, and that the morphine found in
his stomach was administered by his
family physician.
J. S. James, attorney for the heirs
at-law stated he, in all probability.
would start action along the line out
lined in the recommendation of the
Coroner's jury, but that he had not
yet determined how soon he would
do so.
That the testimony Of DR.. H. F.
Harris would be torn to shreds
by the introduction of Dr. J. w. Hurt.
Crawford's physician, was the decla-
ration of Attorney Reuben Arnold.
Doctor Gave Drugs.
DR.. Hurt will testify, according to
Attorney Arnold, that for several days
before the death Of Mr.. Crawford
he gave him small quantities of NOR
phine to allay his suffering, and that
1t was unquestionably traces of the
drug he administered found in the
stomach when the body was exhumed
last month. More than ten of the
most prominent medical experts will
be placed on the stand to substan-
tiate the testimony of DR.. Hurt.
Colonel James announced that
he would introduce no more
witnesses on the poisoning the
ory, except statements from citizens
in Florida, who. according TO Colonel
James, say that before she married
Crawford Mrs. Crawford was heard
to make damaging statements to a
friend.
Colonel James said he would intro
duce testimony with a view TO hav-
ing the marriage annulled, and thus
automatically have the property re-
vert to the heirs at-law. He said he
would show that Mrs. Crawford was
Illegally divorced twice before she
married Crawford.
