The Lester Piano needs no introduction
to this city and State. Hundreds of them
are in daily use throughout Delaware and
along the Eastern Shore. From Wilmington
to Lewes they are known as the best pianos
in this section of the country. Ask the man
who owns one. Not only does the lay
owner appreciate Lester quality, but it has
also the highest professional and artistic en-
dorsement. The leading conservatories of
America buy Testers for their marvellous
tone and great durability.

Mt. Clemens, Mich, Oct. l7.-Aero-

navy experts at Selfridge field were
speculating today as to what might
be the next unheard of aerial feat.
They came here a week ago prepared
for surprises but none had expected
to see a human being plunge through
space at nearly 400 feet a second, nor
had they expected to see an aero
plane flown virtually without the
aid Of wings. "...lt.
This was the performance yester-
day of Lieutenant R. L. Maughan Of
the army, who on Saturday won the
Pulitzer aero classic flying Cur

victorious Saturday. Lieutenant
Vaughan yesterday Travelled one Kill

miles an hour, the previous official
record and making the distance %

ONE INJURED .
BADLY WHEN

H. G.. Rhud Taken to Hospital
Following the Auto COL
liSiOn Here

When the Ford touring car
driven by William Jennings Of Bis
marck and the Paige driven by
William Kelly collided on the Cor
ner Of Sixth and Broadway by the
Auditorium H. C. Rllud, who was
riding in the car with Jennings,
was badly cut by flying glass and
severely bruised in the mixup. The
accident occurred about $3.50
o'clock last evening.
Jennings was coming from the
east on Broadway. Kelly was
driving down Sixth and had turned
to the right on Broadway when he
met Jennings. The left fender was
torn from the Paige and the frame
bent. A wheel was torn from the
Ford and it was otherwise badly
damaged. Mr.. Rhud, who Is con-
fined in the Bismarck hospital as
the result OF cash over his right
eye and bruises, declared that he
did not know how the accident hap
pened, for all he had seen was the
approaching car, and he had called
to Jennings to lookout. Both
drivers claim they were on their
side of the street and driving at a
moderate rate of speed.

considerable distance then complete
the 120 degree turns up side down.
This aroused speculation as to the
distance a machine might be flown
on it's side, a position in which the
planes had little or nothing to do
with keeping it in the air. Lieut..
Maughan demonstrated by flight
across Selfridge field, a distance Of
about a mile, that under certain
conditions plane might be flown
in that position for a much greater
distance than usually is required in
making turns.
Important Bearing
It appeared that the speed of the
powerful motor was sufficient TO
pull the machine through the air
and at the same time hold it aloft.
The feat probably will have an i'm
portant bearing on future wing de-
sign it was said.
The plane, built by the Curtiss
corporation, mounts 400 horsepow-
er Curtiss engine and is similar in
design to the machines that finish in
the first four places in the Pulitzer
trophy race.
The, performance convinced obser-
vers, they declared, that development
of aircraft was still far from its
peak, and that there was virtually
no limit to the speed that might be
attained.
The government tests are to be
continued for several days.

This is the opinion and prediction

Howard, as the recognized mouth
piece of more than 100000 practi-

their various county bureaus into IA

Second-The continued shrink

since 1913 (taken as the normal

from II per cent in July to its
present rock-bottom position Of
less than Ga per cent.

Howard, who is coming more into
recognition as the man who really

says:
"This year will mark turn in the

A suggestion from the United

be of material assistance to Amer

New BRUNSWICK, N. j.. Oct. H.
Having obtained postponement of the
projected handing over the inquiry
into the murder of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Rein
hard Mills, to state authorities, coun
ty officials today were to question
Henry Stevens, brother of Mrs.
Frances Hall, widow of the slain rec
tor, and a maid in the Hall home.
Persons clo5e to the prosecutors
of both Somerset and Middlesex
counties, who have been in charge Of
the investigation, predicted that a
man and woman would be arrest
ed on charges of first degree MUIR
der before the day closes.
Contents of letters purported to
have been written by DR.. Hall to
Mr.. Mills, and which have been
guarded carefully previously, were
said to show beyond doubt the rec
tor and Mrs. Mills were accustomed
to meet in the lane where the dead
bodies were found.
Authorities indicated they were
more hopeful of solving the month
old mystery than at any time pre-
viously during the investigation.
Shortly before their arrival, Coun-
tv Prosecutor; Bekman of Somerset,
and Stricker of Middlesex, who have
predicted at least two arrests before
night, began questioning Henry Stew
ems, another brother of Mrs. Hall,
who had driven over from his home
in Lavallette, in response to sum-
mons.
The authorities later planned to
question Miss Florence Norwood, at
torney for Charl otte Mills, the slain
woman's daughter, to ask her as to
the authenticity of letters purport-
ing to have been written by Mr..
Hall to Mrs. Mills which were pub
lished this morningby newspaper.
The letter couched in endearing
terms of the most extravagant ma
ture were reported to have been OBJ
tained from Charlotte. The author
tiles want TO know how the newspa-
per was able to obtain them when
thew were withheld from those seek
ing to solve the mystery.
