London, March 10.--A popular pas
time nowadays with continental avia-
tors would seem to be flying trips by
nieht over Enc and. Darih.s air pilots
in Germany or France leave their
moorings at dusk, speed over the chan
mel, and then circle over British cit
les and forts, flashing their lights to
mystify and alarm the people below
them. With the first indications of
dawn the adventure comes to an end,
The prowling birdman heads for home,
houses his machine before the sun is
well up, and leaves the officials of
England to report his incursion to
the War Office in London.
Reports of these night visits became
SO general, and were at the same time
so disconcerting, that the government
finally took official action and passed
a bill prohibiting the passage of air
craft over certain specified areas Air
craft violating this regulation will be
fired on and otherwise warned away.
The bill was introduced into the House
Of Commons by Colonel Seeley. secre-
tary OF war. and it passed through all
Its stages at one sitting, without dis
.cussion It went to the Lords the day
before recess, and passed that House
lust as hurriedly. How the measure
s6is to be enforced has aroused consid-
cradle interested speculation. The bill
authorizes the proper officers, after
giving a prescribed warning, to fire at
any airchaft infringing this law, and
to use any and every other means to
prevent infractions. The government
Is providing "sky guns" to repel these
aerial trespassers, and 1t will also have
the services of the naval aeroplanes
and hydro-planes and the flying fleet
OF the army which consists of about
a dozen aeroplanes and three small
airships.
Experts have very grave doubts
whether these precautions will be suf-
ficient to prevent the midnight visits
Colonel Seeley, in introducing the bill
said it was not aircraft belonging to
foreign governments that were aimed
at, but mischievous private persons
possibly from overseas. who might
4shover over places where there are
combustile stores, to the great incon
venience of the people of the coun-
try"
What gave rise to the action of the
government were reliable reports, in
some cases from army officers, that
aircraft had been seen over Dover
Sheerness, Portsmouth and Liverpool
and on at least two occasions as far
west as Cardiff, always at night. The
first visits were paid in October and
they have continued up to the present
time At first there was an inclination
TO make light of them, or to ascribe the
moving lights and the noise of the
propeller to some airship privately
owned in England But investigation
showed that this could not be, and
now the government places the blame
on privately owned foreign airships.
Some people, however, discard this
assumption, and declare that at least
one Of the aerial visitors came from
Borkum, the German fortress nearest
the English coast From Borkum it
would he a very simple matter for a
modern airship to pass over the North
Sea and even right across England,

The Attack.

Slightly more than sixty miles, az

Fort Dodge and the ford crossing the
Arkansas leading down to the Cimar

OF the river occasionally touching the

route was easily followed, and. In 9th.

Now scarcely a wheel turned In all
that lonely distance.
The west-bound stage left the sta

the afternoon with no intimatiOn of

the east-bound coach, eighteen miles
down the river Il Canon Bluff, and the
incoming driver had reported an open
road, and no unusual trouble. No In
dian signs had been observed, not
even signal fires during the night. and
the conductor. who had come straight
from Santa Fe, reported that troops
from Fort Union had driven the only
known bunch of raiders back from
the neighborhood OF the trail, and had
them already safely corralled in the
mountains. This report, seemingly au-
thentic and official, served to relax
the nerves, and the west bound driver
sang to himself as he guided the four
horses forward. while the conductor,
a sawed-off gun planted between his
knees, nodded drowsily. Inside there
were but three passengers, jerking
back and forth. as the wheels struck
the deep ruts of the trail. occasionally y

GOT BODY OF FIRE VICTIM.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Harry Spen-
GER, having practically assured the
police that he is at least thrice
murderer, claimed added distinction
as a criminal today.
He said that at the time of the
Iroquois theater fire in which 500
lives were lost, he was among the
first on the scene and assisted in car
rying bodies from the flames.
One woman he carried out was
richly gowned but burned beyond
recognition. Watchfulness of the
police prevented him from robbing
the body, but that night he obtained
the assistance of woman, went to
the temporary morgue and identi-
fled the. body as that of the woman's
sister. They had it buried under
the name of Mary K. Skaruba, Skaiss
uba being one of his aliases.
"We got $4,000 worth of jewelry
and 81 100 in money off of her. he
said. Il guess she is still buried un-
der that name"
