Z British Fliers
Fall to Death

SALISBURY, Eng, March 1.-Two
more officers of the British army fly
ing corps were killed here today. Cap
tain c. r. w. Allen, of the Welsh
Regiment, and Lieutenant j. E. G..
Burroughs, of the Wiltshire regiment,
while flying over the military aer-
drome on Salisbury Plain, were hurled
to the ground from q high altitude
owing to the callapse of their aero
plane
The cause of the accident was the
breaking of the rudder-bar of gov
ernment built biplane piloted by Cap
tain Allen, who was carrying Lieu
tenant Burroughs as a passenger.
LONDON, March 11.-In recording
the three fatalities to British army
aviators within two days the London
newspapers say they make a tragic
sequel to the congratulations ex-
pressed to the country last week by
Colonel Seely, secretary of war, on
the fact that no deaths of army avia-
tors had occurred within a year. The
secretary attributed this record to the
superior safety Of British aeroplanes,
and declared that flying was now
safer than voyages in submarines.
The recent flying exploits of Win
ston Spencer Churchill. first lord of
the admiralty, are the subject of much
criticism on the ground that cabinet
minister has no right to risk his life
in foolhardy exploits.

American Engineer Plans
TO Check Floods in China

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Charles
D. jameson, the civil engineer who
was employed by the American Ma
tional Red Cross to devise measures
for restraining the devastating floods
of the EIwai river in China, arrived in
Washington today, prepared to report
upon his charge as soon as Miss
Mabel Board1nan. member of the
executive committee of the Red
Cross, returns to Washington from
Boston. Mr.. Jameson's complete
project, which has been fully ap-
proved by the Chinese government,
calls for an expenditure of 800, 100000
for the work of river Improvement,
and an official of the Chinese govern
ment is now on his way to New
York by way of London for the pur-
pose of floating loan of that
amount.
The project is one of great magni-
tude, involving the reclamation of
seventeen thousand square miles of
flooded land. Where it is usually
possible to obtain about only two
crops in five years from the rice lands
of the Hwai valley. it is calculated
that when the Improvement is com
plete the same soil Will yield two
crops each year, meaning q ten-fold
increase in productivity.

Fight for Millions Won By
WidoD of Newark Inuentor
Federal Circuit Court of Appeals uphod Patent Claim on Late
Rev. Hannibal Goodwin's Invention Against Eastman Ko-
dak Co.-Aged Women Survivors Take News Calmly.

Mrs. Rebecca Goodwin, of 116 Mont
clair avenue, widow of Rev. Hannibal
Goodwin, inventor of the camera
film, is within reach of millions Of
dollars by reason of q decision handed
down yesterday in the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. The de-
cision is believed to practically settle
the suit brought by the Goodwin Film
and Camera Company against the
Eastman Kodak Company concerning
the film for which the late Newark
clergyman secured a patent. The case
has been II the courts twelve years.
Because of the decision the kodak
company will be obliged to make an
accounting for all the millions of
Photographic films issued by that
company between September 10, 1898,
when the patent was granted, and
September 13, 1915, when the patent
win expire. No one will venture an
estimate as to what figure will be
reached by the accounting. Estimates
vary between s5,000,00O and $25. 100000.

and general manager of the Eastman

Find Waters of Great Salt
Lake Preserve Timber

WASHINGTON, March n.-Experts
nf the forest service have discovered
that the waters of the Great Salt
Lake act as government preserva-
tive against decay in timbers. For
years they have been conducting ex-
periments to find a treatment that
would preserve telegraph poles and
railroad ties AS the result ofsrecent
investigations, it has been found that
rirnbers taken from the Great Salt
Lake were perfectly sound, although
they had remained in those waters for
many weeks
II is pointed out that the reason
why the waters of the salt lake act
as q strong preservative, as distin-
gsuished from ocean waters, is because
the lake water is so much saltier,
being practically a saturate solution.
Forest experts suggest that ties ana
poles Immersed in these waters ought

is not leached out by the action OF
the elements This can be guarded
against. it is asserted, by painting

Samuel Cehleimer, counsel for Mrs.
Anna L. Pollard who is accused of
having sent certain offensive, inde-

POLICE SHAKEUP
IN THE TENDERLO|N
N. Y. Inspector Reduced in Rank

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE third
inspection district. including most OF
the old Tenderloin, saw genuine
old-fashioned police shakc-up late
last night when Commissioner Nc
Kay swooped down on the West
Thirtieth street police station, or

james II. Gillen and the transfer of
his entire staff to precincts scattered
throughout the city. He then whisked

lane in command of the district along

East Side.
IT was generally predicted through
out the police department today that
the commissioners action last night
woulr before long involve other men,
bers of the department. Just who
these men were could not be learned
definitely, but at least one other in
spector was mentioned in the rumor
and IA captain was also involved in
the looked-for changes
Police Commissioner Mckay, in or
dering the reduction of Inspector Gil
len, nitified him to appear at head
quarters today. The commissioner
would not tell the nature of the
charges against Gillen, and the in
spector himself professed ignorance
of any circumstances that could have
led to his downfall
hTe order for the shaSeup in Gil
lens district was followed almost im-
mediately by raids on two hotels in
the district by Lieutenant Dan Costi-
gans special squad. It was said later
that Costigan and his men had been
working quietly in the district for
the last wek or ten days and that it
was on information furnished by
them Ia Gllen's reduction was ordered.
The Tenderloin heard today that
several warrants for the arrest of
disorderly desort proprietors had
been obtained. Nothing could be
learned aout these warrants, however.
