Man Drops 1900
in Navy Biplane

Annapolis, Md, June 2l.-Lieuten-
ant John A. Towers, chief of the navy
ayiators, slightly injured and resting
at the naval hospital here, told a
thrilling story of his 1900 foot drop in
a disabled biplane while he chung with
his arm locked over one of the stays
of the machine.
Hundreds of small craft searched
Chesapeake bay, into which the aero
plane dropped in the hope of finding
the body of Ensign William D. Bill
Kingsley, who was thrown from his
seat in the machine, catapulted to the
sea and drowned yesterday.
At the navy hospital Lieutenant
Towers, almost in a state of nervous
collapse, his entire body trembling
and his head wagging, p~iteously told
the story Of his fall from the sky.

underneath the rear planes and the
machine lurched violently and took
an uncertain dive forward. This threw
Biliingsley across the steering gear
and the lateral rudder planes went
out of business. Without another for
ward plunge the biplane dropped at
express train speed.

Senator Sterling has recently in
troduced a bin in the senate which
allows minors of IS years TO take
|homesteads. This bill will no doubt
meet with the approval Of thousands
Of young men throughout the north
west, who find time a burden in their
hands while waiting for the fatal age
of twenty-one years. Now they can
gin all the stern realities of life three
years earlier than formerly and this
will be much TO their liking.
Senate Bill 2419 entitled: "A bill
permitting male minors at the age OF
| eighteen years or over to make home.
stead entry or other entry to the
public lands Of the United States has
been introduced in the United States
senate by Senator Sterling. 1t was
drafted and introduced in pursuance
lof a memorial of the last legislature
of South Dakota to congress, asking
that such a law be enacted.
The prime motive for such an amend
ment to our hosestead law lies in the
fact that many of the young men OF
the northwestern states have, in the
Hast few years, gone to Canada for the
purpose of taking up homesteads. The
Ganadian law permits male minors
eighteen years OF age or over to make
homestead entry. To prevent this
immigration to Canada our legislature
thought the same privilege should be
accorded to citizens Of the United
states in regard to u public do
main and under these conditions it
would seem that the proposed hgis-
~lation is founded upon good policy.

COLOMBIA HAS 1T IN FOR T.R.
Republic Issued Orders to Take No

Snubs Of All Sorts.

Bogota, Colombia (via Panama),
Nov. 29.-The republic of Colombia
has issued orders to all it's consuls,
ministers and other residents in other
South American States to take ahso-
lutely no part in receptions to Colonel
Roosevelt.
In several cities the nature of the
orders were such that the Colombian
representatives are said to have gone
out of their way to snub the colonel.
Colombia is bitterly jealous Of the at
tentions showered on the former
American president, and the Bogota
newspapers publish daily caustic edi.
torials and news articles denouncing
him. Several cartoons display the
colonel in the act of annexing all
South America to the United States.
AS an indication of the feeling on
the part of the populace, an art store
which displayed picture of Roosevelt
was wrecked by a mob; several
gendarmes who tried to restore peace
were beaten by the crowd and the pic
ture of Roosevelt, with the head cut
off, was nailed bottom up to q post.

The megaphone was just announcing
the departure of the Chicago train.
Jim hurried round, glancing wildly
about him. He could not see Hooper
or Nancy. The travellers were stream
ing toward the gate. Yes! There,
waiting timidly behind a pillar, he saw
her. He sprang toward her.
Nancy! You were going away with

"What is that to you?" demanded
the girl, in a trembling voice.
"1'll show you. Where is he?"

He wants me to 60 with him. We

She was half crying, and the reac-
tion bewildered her. She hardly knew
what she was saying. Jim waited
grimly for Hooper to come. He had
forgotten his companion.
A cry, confusion, and everybody was
streaming toward the entrance. Jim
saw the porters running. There were
calls Of "Police!" He could see moth

Jim looked at Nancy, and then an
infinite pity for the girl came over
him. He had failed, not she; for she
needed the love and guardianship of
strong man. Henceforward, he
vowed, he would command, not sue,
because her nature needed that. And
with his pity came a renewal of his
love which, he knew, would never
leave him.
He put his arm round her and led
her from the station.
