Dublin, Aug. 2-(By A. P.)-Cap- ture of Tipperary by the Free State forces is looked upon by the military staff of the provisional government as stroke of enormous strategetical value in the general campaign against the Republicans in southwest ern Ireland.

Langley to invent the first flying machine and declared af- ter witnessing is flight at Quantico Va. in 1896, that the age of the air plane was at hand, although Langley's machine was destroyed.

A traveller arriving here from C1on- mel says that the irregu1ars there, alarmed by the Free State advance, began to burn their barracks, but that Ramon De Velera interfered, preventing further destruction and declaring that he intended to make a stand there.
 The treveler adds. however, that De Velera is not in supreme com mand of the Republican forces.

Wages Less Than
Building Crafts

CHICAGO, April presenting
statistics intended to prove that sig
nalmen employed by railroads we're
receiving less than men employed in
similar lines of work in the building
crafts, David Helt, president of the
Brotherhood of Signalmen, today be-
fore the United States railroad labor
board pointed out that men in the
organization he represented were re-
ceiving 10 cents an hour less than
those outside railroad employment.
Statistics were gathered from 237

are getting on an average OF 50 cents
an hour, he pointed out, and elec-

declared that the signalmen should
not be subjected to the proposed 10
per cent decrease asked by the rail-
roads.

trust for his protege, now Is years
old. The attorneys state that a con-
test was made of the second will and
it was taken off probate and the case
now is on appeal to the district court
in New Mexico.
