VARIOUS REPORTS
FROM ALL GEORGIA.
ABOUT FLYING SHIP

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 18.-Who is
riding mysteriously by night in
monster aeroplane over the hills and
valleys Of Georgia? Why does he only
fly at night, and what is his object n
these secret flights? Citizens in q
hundred towns and rural communities
are asking the question, for the aero
plane unquestionably has been seen.
AT first the reports were taken for
joke, but from Cordele, Bellwood, Mt.
Yonah, and a number of other places
have come authentic reports of the
machine being seen at night by several
sober persons at a time.
The machine is said to be of the BIZ
plane model, and to be flying on an
average of 1000 feet in the air. The
aeroplane carries masked search
light, and occasionally it's binding ra-
dance flashes across the sky, only to
disappear in blackness a second af-
terward.
Many explanations have been
brought forward, the most likely of
which seems that the army aviators
CT the United States government are
experimenting in long night flights.
from base which they have not re-
vealed.
Another suggestion is that the ma
cline may belong to some recluse in
sentor who has been working in Sc
cret, but this seems to be unlikely as
the general appearance of the machine
is that of the regular conventional BIZ
plane model

BRATTLEBORO HAS
SUNNY SKIES FOR
MEMORIAL DAY

Brattleboro, May 3l.-Perfect weather
favored the observance of Memorial day
here to-day. The veterans went to West

ices in that village and in the afternoon
at two O'Clock were held the exercises

sided, read LinGoln's Gettysburg address.

Memorial day in Brattleboro. He referred
to the war now in progress which was
bringing home to people in this country
afresh the horrors of war, touched upon
the possibility of the United States be-
coming involved and said that waning
patriotism since the days of 90 should
be awakened by these facts
HIS asked if as individuals and as
town Brattleboro was doing what it
should. He pointed out that there is no
organization here that feels responsible
ity in the observance of Memorial day
excepting the Grand Army veterans and
they are rapidly becoming too few and
physically unable to do the work Brat
tleboro in Civil War days was an mpor-
tant place. over onc-haf of the Vermont
regiments modified in Brattleboro and
the principal hospital in the State was
here. He urged that some organization
be formed that in the future would take
off the shoulders of the veterans so much
of the work of observing the day as they
are willing to leave to others.

Masons and up to the time of the Will

BECKER IS CALM
AFTER VISITS BY
WIFE AND PRIEST
Ceasing His Railing against God
Convicted Policeman Loses
Much of His Nervous
ness.

New York, June 1.-Charles Becker
spent quiet day in the death house His
nervousness was not so great. He seems
TO be regaining his normal condition Mrs
Becker visited him yesterday, but met
him in the death house. instead of in the
room of the principal keeper. as she had
done on Sunday. When she departed she
seemed more cheerful. This was taken
provement in her husbands condition of
mind.
Mrs. Becker said she intends to return
to her school to-day. This is taken as an
indication that she is hopeful. She was
pleased when she learned that her hus-
band had talked with Father Cashin, the
prison chaplain, and had ceased his rail
ing against religion. It was noticed that
he had begun again to use his Bible,
which he had discarded in his At of anger
against God and man.
Deputy Warden Johnson said yesterday
that Becker was showing a good change,
in that he had eaten more food and that
his Sunday nights sleep had been better
than any since the returning of the deci-
sion.
Becker was much interested in the news
papers account of the German note. I'm
TO last Tuesday he had read aloud to men
in the death house the more interesting
parts Of the days news. but he gave that
up after the decision reached him. Yes
terday, for the first time in a week. he
went back to this practice, much to the
pleasure of his fellow inmates
Those close to Becker say he Is anx-
iouslY awaiting the return from San
Francisco Of Governor Whitman in the
hope of Communication Of sentence Becker
does not want to be considered "squeal-
err"
His brother John who visited him in
the prison a few days ago is member
of tina Police Lieutenants association.
Becker thinks many things he has to
tell Governor Whitman were not consd-
cred in either of the trials. But what
these features are his close friends refuse
to say.
Though Martin T. Manton several days
ago indicated that he would cease to be

day she had arranged to confer with Mr..
