Mr.. WALSH
PROsPERED.

He obtained specimens; sent them
to an assayer. and his surmise was
confirmed. This was the initiation of
the great Walsh fortune. In Colorado
he met Carrie Belle Reed, of New
England ancestory. whose widowed
mother had gone to the wonderful air
of the Sunshine State for her health.
Mrs. Reed was herself an unusual
woman of the utmost refinement and
delicacies of feeling. qualities that are
SO conspicuous in Mrs. Walsh. The
young mining proprietor and Miss
Reed discovered mutual interests, and
their marriage, and several years OF
residence in picturesque Ouray and
near Denver. are matters Of State his

identified himself with the advance
ment Of Colorado. He was the first
employer on a large scale to give his
men the eight-hour day; he devised
the best conditions. physically. men,
sSally. morally. for his workmen. As
nne prospered so did they; and it is
: little wonder that Colorado to this
day holds in deepest regard the name
of Thomas Walsh. Somewhere about
1870 Mr.. and Mrs. Walsh decided to
make their home In Washington. They
built a magnificent house. after the
design of a French chateau, a house
costing 100000. with its Furnishings
as much more. and they travelled ex-
tensively. and had the higher privi-
leses of life. meeting interesting peo-
pie, and seeing the various countries

Mere wealth alone would not have
opened the doors that swung wide
and entreated them to enter. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Walsh were of the
nobler order. intellectual, interesting.
and with signal personal charm.
President Mckinley appointed Mr..
Walsh to represent him at the Paris
Exposition of 1900. and so eminent
were the services he rendered that
the French government wished to
decorate him with the Legion d'Hon-
neur. a distinction that Mr.. Walsh

bow east, the navigator looks at his
compass and knows that his ship is
going east, except for a slight error
that is quickly accounted for. Lieu
tenant Commander Grieve, navigator
of the tiny Sopwith plane, may have
his ship point east, toward the Irish
coast, 1850 miles away. but if there is
q wind from the north blowing forty
miles an hour, the airplane will be
taken south forty miles for every one
hundred it goes east, Neither their
gasolene nor their endurance could last
until they reached the African coast,
al that rate
The airplane must, therefore, be
be headed into the wind (north in this
case) to compensate for this drift" But
how much should the plane be turned?
The airplane rushing through the air
creates its own wind, so that this side
wind cannot be felt or measured. In
this case, if the plane were allowed
to drift, any spots on the water would
appear to the aviators 10 pass under
the plane from southeast to a north
west direction. The plane is turned
INTO the wind until these spots" ap-
pear 10 pass under the plane from
east TO west. That is the solution OF
that problem with ali the many COM
plications removed.
Fog is nothing more than a passing
inconvenience for the mariner If the

Overhead our airplane is caught in

The sea beneath is invisible. The
pilot has no stationary object from
which he can tell in what position his
plane is. lie may be diving into the
sea. he cannot tell at the moment as
his aitimeter does not register as fast
as he falls. He may be climbing at a
precarious angle which viii cause him
TO - "stall' the plane, throwing him

may gradually turn over on its side

pilot will not know it until too late

These are but a few Of the mum

have faced. They had no ships bclow

presence would cheer them on when
the situation looked hopeless.
In spite of ALL these two brave

TO Be Investigated
BY june Grand Jury
Assistant District Attorney
Moves as Brogan Goes to
Washington to Promote
Federal ''Blue Sky Law

The June grand jury will take up the
matte. Of fraudulent oil companies and
swindling promoters. This announce
ment was made yesterday by Assistant
District Attorney John T. Dooling, in
charge of the Bureau of Commercial
Frauds
Meanwhile Edward S. Brogan, whose
removal from the bureau and the sub
sequent clamor were followed by the
designation of Mr.. Dooling and Edwin
P. kilroe to take up the work he has
been doing, will work with Carter
Glass, Secretary Of the Treasury, and
other federal officials in an effort to
get blue sky" law through Congress
which will cffcctually control the is
sues OF new securities. Mr.. Brogan
ioit for Washington last night.
Mr.. Dooling did not indicate yester-
day the cases he expects to present
10 the grand jury. His office has been
flooded with complaints, and until yes
terday it was said that it was difficult
to get proof of crimes and that the
bulk Of the cases presented represented
civil rather than criminal actions.
By invitation of Mr.. Dooling, J. Frank
Leonard, for many years counsel of the
New York Curb Market Association,
and A. B. Sturges, its secretary, called
at the Criminal Courts Building to ex-
plain their efforts to curb fraudulent
promoters frecuenting the public mar
het in Broad Street. They told Mr.
Dooling that they were powerless to
prevent persons not members of the
association using the facilities Of the
market, or to compel anything like the
barring of the plaincst swindles.
owe cannot" said Mr.. Leonard,
keep known crooks out of the
market or from using the machinery
of the market. The fact that man
las done time for swindling by means
of bogus stock companies does not pre-
vent him, if he so wishes, starting new
frauds as soon as he gets out"
Mr.. Leonard and Mr.. Sturges were
agreed that the police might help by
more stringent application of the old
dead line" rule of the late Inspector
Byrnes. Under this rule, obsolete for
long time, any known crook who ven
turcd below Fulton Street did so with
the knowledge that he was almost
certain to be locked up. The fact that
the police might have no evidence that
he was intent on wrongdoing did not
save him.
They also pointed out that news
papers which accepted stock advertiser
ments without question, save as to
cash in advance, or guarantee by
some responsible advertising agency
that they Will get their pay, we're the
most valued allies of the swindlcrs.

Sea FIiers Adrised to
FOLlO,U Southern Route

Inc rival avlators waiting in New
foundland for favorable opportunitv
to make the first on-stop flight across
the Atlantic will stand the best chance
if they add 200 miles to their course.
IN addition to this, they Will have bet
Ter chances Of rescue in case they are
compelled to descend upon the ocean.
This was the consensus yesterday OF
officials at local steamship Offices.
Captain Palfrey marine superintendent
Of the Cunard Line, said:
The weather is gradually improving
across the Atlantic. Owing to the
prevalence Of ice around Newfoundland
the steamships are taking the southern
course now. In these circumstances
1t the aviators will set course along
the steamship tracks they will have a
better chance Of success, despite the
tact that such course will make a
difference Of about 200 miles to them.
"The further north they Law their
course the shorter will be the actual
distance they will have to cover in
their flight to Ireland But this means
that they will run into worse weather
conditions as we'll as much colder
temperature, both of which are bad for
them.
BY adding 200 miles to their course
they will meet with more favorable
conditions. In addition they nearly al
ways will be within reach of some
steamship crossing the Atlantic in
either direction"
An officer of the White Star Line
said: "The steamships crossing the
Atlantic have gone back to the old
southern course used before the war.
If the aviators at Newfoundland take
the shortest course across the Atlantic
to Ireland they will find the ocean
practically deserted during the first
half of their trip. This is because the
large iceberg field moving in the vicin-
lty of Newfoundland makes steamship
navigation dangerous there.
Along the shorter course they would
run into steamship tracks about mid
way across. These would be the tracks
of the steamships making for the north
Of Ireland or the north Of Scotland
