Tnere ID story Of the American
ride that has been handed down, 10
the hearthstone history and traditions
OF those who for generations have
lived In the West. It begins with
the Greenbrier region Of Virginia Of
colonial times, thence into Kentucky,
to Missouri in the days Of Upper
Louisiana, thence to the great prairies
OF the far West and on to California.
The family ride was dear and sacred.
John and Margaret Terril and their
family were with party Of pioneers
from the Greenbrier region who mi.
grated to Kentucky In the early days.
owing to the hostilities Of the In.
dams, they were armed and under the
command OF Capt. Jacob Baughman, q
brother Of Margaret Ferril.

Allegheny mountains and when In

The Baughman-Ferril fight, or massa,

John Terril, then fourteen years old,
who had escaped. swore an oath Of re.
venge on his rifle. He kept that vow,
and his ride became a bloody. one In
the Indian wars Of Kentucky.
In the Boone Lick region Of zig
souri,, now Howard county, In 1872,
were built several forts for protection
against Indians. especially the Sac.
and Foxes and the Pottawatomies
John Ferril and family were in one
Of them. known as Fort Cooper. He
here still possessed his old Kentucky
rifle. After the war Of 1872, in addt
hon to farming, he often engaged In
hunting expeditions up the Missouri
and Kansas rivers, and sometimes far
out on the great prairies.
Over a century ago he hunted bea,
and other game on what is now the
site Of Kansas City. He and othe,
frondersmen then predicted that q
great city would be founded on thu
confluence Of the Missouri and Kan
sas rivers.

Experts Study Audible
Beacon for Aviators
Invention Designed to An
nounce Safe Landing
10 EIiers

WASHINGTON, April Experts of
the Army Signal Corps. it was learned
to-day, have begun experiments with
a recent invention, described as an
audible beacon" which they believe
will prove valuable in making the air
plane a commercial utility. The new
contrivance is designed as a signal
which will advise the aviator not only
Of his own position regardless Of
weather conditions, but will provide
accurate marks for suitable landing
places.
"Thc beacon" is said to be a com
bination of the new wireless telc-
phone and the ordinary phonogra ph.
Its operation will be more or less
automatic and Will repeat q word or
signal designating its position. For
instance, one at Langley Field, the
tor-departmental av 4 t j IN base,
might send out the call "Langley" at
stated intervals.
Officials working on the invention
believe that the next step Will be the
adoption OF the sound ranging de-
vice, now used by armies in connec-
ton with artillery fire, to enable avi-
ators to determine without delay the
distance and direction of the call of
any one Of these sending stations.

New York Tribuns
WASHINGTON Bureau


WASHINGTON, April 6.-Charging
Champ Clark and other leaders of the
Democratic party in the House with
having encouraged Republican assaults
on legislation and on the policies of
the Administration in the last Con-
gress, Representative William A.
Ayres, of Kansas, the only Democrat
to represent that state in the next
Congress, in a statement to-day urges
the party to eject a minority leader in
the next House VINO stands -four
square"
Never before in the history of the
American Congress has a party failed
to hold caucus during the entire ses-
sion, yet this is the history of the
Democratic leadership in the Sixty
fifth Congress-" Mr.. Ayres states.
"At no time did those who had been
selected for these important positions
defend either the President or his Ad-
ministration against the many vicious
assaults made by the opposition on the
floor of the House. Every Democrat
who served in the SiXty-tifth Congress
will remember how our leaders
when the Republicans were attacking
legislation and the policies of the Ad-
ministration- would sit with satisfied
countenance, which would seem to say:
Hit them again Really, it was SO
sickening to many of the new members
that they would return to their Offices

Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
ST. JOHNS, N. f., April 6.-The real
work Of assembling the Sopwith air
plane in which Harry A. Hawker, the
British aviator, plans to make his
flight across the Atlantic, began yes
terday. Five mechanics employed for
this purpose, who had been held up
on the steamship Kyle because of the
ice foes off the coast, arrived the pre-
vious night. The work is being con-
tinued to-day.
The airplane, it is hoped, will be
in shape for the fight by Thursday
after which experimental flights will
be taken before the voyage across the
Atlantic begins. No experimental
fight, however, will be undertaken
until the present rain-soaked ground
about the aviation station is dry. The
conditions are aggravated by al
most continuous snowfalls, and it i'm
possible to say when the convenient
moment for the trial flights will ar
rive.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Hawker and his
party are speeding up preparations tc
be well ahead of Major Morgan, repre-.
senting the Martinside Airplane Com.
pany, who, with his machine left Liver
pool yesterday on the steamship
Sachem and who, under favorable con.
ditions. should be able to attempt his
fight across the ocean by the end OF
the month.

Help Aviation, Say
Aero CIuI, Heads
Trophy Will Be Competed
for First i'm Distance
Match in Connection With
Atlantic City Convention

Stimulus will be given aviation in
this country as result Of the aerial
derby, the first competition for q trO-
ply offered by Ralph Pulitzer, Joseph
Pulitzer, jr, and Herbert Pulitzer,
owners of "1he New York World" and
"Thc st. Louis Post-Dispatch,' which
has just been announced, according to
Aero Club officials.
The Pulitzer prize is a challenge
trophy to be competed for annually in
an event to be selected each year by
the Aero Club All aviators are eligi-
bic and the trophy must be won three
times before it becomes the permanent
possession of any competitor, the years
winner holding the trophy until the
next contest.
The first competition is to be held
in connection with the one-month
aeronautic convention and exhibition
at Atlantic City, beginning May l, when
the Pulitzer trophy will be awarded
the aviator who covers the longest dis
tancc in a nonstop flight in cross
country flying over land or over water
or both in flying from or to Atlantic
City.
The fact that the Pulitzer competi-
ton is open to airplanes of any type,
each class being designated by the
number of motors with which the plane
is equipped, makes it possible for every
class Of airpiane to be flown to the full
extent of its capacity, according to
Alan r. Hawley, president of the Aero
Club.
The contest will afford supreme
test to all classes Of planes, Mr.. Hay
ley pointed out, and will demonstrate
the possibilities of employing airplanes
for commercial aerial transpOrta ton.
Names of the aylatOrS who cover the
longest distance with planes equipped
with one, two or three motors will be
inscribed on the trophy.
Henry WOOdhOuSe, member of the
board of governors of the Aero Club,
said yesterday that so per cent Of the
10000 United States army and navy
aviators had been demobilized and the
aerial derby would do much to induce
these men to keep up their interest in
flying.
Competitors may make as many at
tempts to win the trophy as they wish
the only restriction being that they
be made during the month If May
and are from or to Atlantic City.
Captain Granville A. Pollock, late of
the Lafayette Escadrile, now com
mander of the first Aero Squadron of
the New York police, said that he al
ready had the names Of twenty aviators
who wanted to enter the competition.
Other aviators who expressed inter
est in the derby at the Aero Club yes
terday included Captain Maurice G
Cleary, Captain S. Herbert Mapes
Alfred E. Poor, Lieutenant j. W. NJ

MONTREAL, April 6.-An important
page in the family written history Of
Ungava was turned Saturday when the
main aviation exploration expedition of
the Ungava Products Company left
Quebec City on board the steamer Am
herst. en- route for The north. From
Clarke City, which is about three or
four hundred miles below Quebec on
the north shore of the st. Lawrence
River, the explorers will proceed into
the INTERIOR via the Moisie River, Lake
Kachasho and over the height of land
to Lake Ashuanipi, where they vii es-
tablisb their first main base.
From this point operations will be
extended at later date to Ossokman-
uan Lake, Sandgrit Lake, Gabbro Lake,
Michikamats River Dyke Lake. Petit
sikapau Lake and Attikaangen Lake. An
area of Approximately $4,000 square
miles will be explored.
The personnel of the exploring party
has been drawn largely from the Royal
Canadian Naval Air Service, as the
new company plans to penetrate this
summer into the unknown regions Of
New Quebec entirely by airplane
Considerable discussion and interest
was devoted to Ungava at the recent
session of the Quebec Legislature, and
Dill .appropriating money for future
Investigations was passed. A charter
was granted to the Ungava Products
Company in February to explore the
great untouched area Of New Quebec.

itself whenever crisis like the present
one arises.
AT present we have to seek private
funds for the bread and soup and pri-
vate employment for the men, but our
ultimate object is to rally mass Of
sentiment strong enough to demand
the free public feeding of all who are
unavoidably up against it, and also to
demand employment from the town,
city or state for all who desire such
employment at some productive or
otherwise useful work, the products of
which shall be sold back to the people
at the actual cost Of production
through public stores owned and oper-
ated by the government.
"Revolution'' on Right Lines
"If this could be brought about it
would evidently be a 'revolution' 1t
would overthrow the present private
profit system and set up in its place n
distribution at actual cost, leaving no
room for parasites and profiteers.
"But those who see in the work, or
think they see. sinister attempt to
start something that will end IN riot
and bloodshed might we'll look little
deeper They would see that it is but
an attempt to start, in normal, peace
able and brotherly way, something
which otherwise will inevitably break
out in all sorts of violence.
The work is, then, neither bread
line nor revolution in the generally
accepted terms. But it is both bread
line and revolution, animated not by
the spirit of hate and vengeance, but
by the spirit of brotherly love and the
demand for the establishment of uni
versal Justice"

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The COM
mercial telegraphers of Washington,
ut meeting here to-day, passed resolu-
Iions disputing the statement made by
Postmaster General Burleson that the
recent increase in telegraph oils was
due to wage increases granted to op-
orators and further charging that the
necessity for rate advances, "if it ex-
lists, can, and must be charged directly
and solely to inefIiciency of operation" ="
The machinery for taking the strike
vote announced from the International
Headquarters in Chicago, to be com
pleted by the end of April. was also put
in motion through constitutional action
at to-day's meeting 1t was announced
that the ballot will be a secret one and
the canvas will be made in Chicago by
the general executive board and the re-
suit announced By the international
president IN due time.
Discussing the threatened strike
after the meeting, S. J. Small. former
president of the Commercial Tcle-
graphers' Union, who participated in
both the 1883 and 1907 strikes, said:
Few people realize the intense feel
ing existing throughout the country
among commercial telegraphers. They
are in state Of mind peculiarly diff
ferent comparable to previous occasions
when differences between the employ
ing company or companies and oper-
ators resulted in a strike.
