The contention of DIR. Charles Wal
colt. secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitution, that the Langley airplane
was the first capable of fight, is up
held by c. G.. Grey, leading aeronauti-
cal publicist of Great Britain and
editor Of the Aeroplane, Who, in the
June issue, just received here. de-
clares that "Dr. Walcott and the
Smithsonian Institution and Prof.
Langley have proved their case"
Mr.. Grey said the actual facts of
the case appear to be that though
the Wright machine was the first to
fly, it was not a practicable flying
machine, and although the Langley
machine did not fly in 1908, 1t was
in fact a practicable flying machine
when made sufficiently stronghold
is to say, the Wright machine was
aerodyna mically wrong but mechan-
ically good enough. whereas the
Langley machine was mechanically
wrong but aerodynamtcally good
enough. And as flying is a matter of
aerodynamics, into which mechanical
structure enters only as a component
part of success, one believes that DR..
Walcott. the Smithsonian Institution
and Prof. Langly have proved their
case.

PEkING, June 15.-Chinese stu
hents, merchants. shopkeepers and
lworkmen in the largest demonstra
tion made here during the present
TROUBLES. today went to the foreign
soffice and demanded that the Chinese
government sever relations with Great
Britain and instruct the tuchan of
Fankow forcibly to take possession
of the British concession there.
Fearing violence the foreign lega-
tions mounted machine guns and pre-
pared wire entanglements for use in
an emergency. Legation guards were
held at their quarters for instant
availability.
The monster demonstration in the
streets occurred in spite of official
orders canceling the proposed strike

Inflammatory speeches were made

turbanceS.
British Deny Blame.
The British legation has sent a
lengthy reply to the Chinese note of
protest over the shooting of a number
of Chinese last week during an at
tack the British concession in
Hankow
The reply declares the Chinese i'm
preston that the laws of humanity
were disregarded by the British is
completely erroneous; that on the
contrary the British were defending
their lives against a murderous mob
invading their settlement after having
already killed one foreigner,
Refusing to admit that any re-
sponsibility rests on the British
authorities, the reply cites previous
warning against allowing the anti
British agitation to so unchecked and
asks that energetic measures be taken
to check such agitation.
The note concludes with an ex-
preston of hope that the Chinese
foreign office will issue a statement
giving q correct version of the Incl
dent and thus dispel the atmosphere
bf prejudice which it says has been
created by exaggerated and men
dacious stories.
No confirmation has yet been re-
,ceived of yesterdays report from Kai-
eeng, Honan province, that the Italian
priest of the Roman Catholic church
there had been killed, when his
church was burned. However. letters
written at Kai-feng Saturday and re-
ceived here today said the situation
was extremely serious and that all
foreign residents were leaving kai-
feng.

FIRE HORSES DASH
To LAST ALARM
Barney, Gene and Tom Led
Away to Spend Remaining
Days at Rest.

Garlanded with roses and with the
joyous clang of the fire bells still ring
ing in their ears, faithful old Barney,
Gene and Tom, the last veteran team
of Washington's once-petted battalion
of fire horses, went to their hard
earned rest in the pastures Of Blue
Plains today, there to spend the re-
mainder of their days in peace and
safety.
They were given their last run. a
spirited sprint down North Carolina
avenue to Lincoln Park, batteries of
cameras clicked Photographic records
Of their passing from active life, and
when they came back William J. Fay,
superintendent of the Home for the
Feeble and Infirm, led them off to the
big farm below Congress Heights,
which is to be their future home.
When a fireman has served the
department with loyalty, he is pen
stoned and retired TO the rest he has
earned in the twilight of his life, -
Commissioner Fenning told Mr.. Fay,
as he handed him the reins of the
three grey veterans. These old fell
lows are no less firemen than the
men of our department, and ii is only
right and fitting that they. too. should
be protected now that their service is
over"
Many Officials Present.
Besides Commissioner Fenning and
George S. Watson, chief engineer of
the Fire Department, many high Of
ficials of the District government
honored Barney, Gene and Tom on
their last day in the service of Wash
ington. and more than 500 persons
cheered them as they dashed out of
their old home al No. engine com
pany for the last time. But no person
took more deep-hearted interest in
the ceremonies than Frank j. Wagner,
former chief of the department.
1t was Chief Wagner, who was
retired himself five years ago, who
bought Barney, Gene and Tom. and
he was the last to stroke their strong
necks just before Supt. Fay led
them away. To the former fire
chief also went the honor of present

The ceremonies began promptly at

last run and another squad had their
hands full keeping the crowd from
running along with the horses in
their eagerneSS to pay them tribute.

program was completed hundreds of
miniature pictures were snapped.

police. assisted by special constables
recruited from the ranks of the
United Mine Workers of America. to-
day frustrated an attempt to loot
warehouse of the British Empire
Steel Corporation at Glace Bay. A

bee, is expected here this afternoon.
During the night three privately
owned stores were looted by mobs es-
timated at 1000 persons. Fire in a
small coal pocket was extinguished
with little damage.
Liquor Blamed.
Struggled liquor is blamed for much
of the violence that has attended the
strike of 1900 coal mine workers of
the British Empire Steel Corporation
in the Cape Breton district. John w.
Mcleod, district president of the
United Mine Workers, in saying that
liquor was responsible, stated that
large quantities of intoxicants had
been landed recently at New Water
ford. Nova Scotia is one of the three
maritime provinces which retained
the war time Canadian dry law.
Rioting broke out afresh early to-
day. At the Sydney mines a private
general store was raided by l 900 men.
Both the provincial police and do
minion troops, rushed into the area
last week, were caught unawares.
There were no clashes with the
authorities.
The police and half of the troopers
were in training at the steel plant.
while the remainder of the soldiery
had been moved to the New Aberdeen
Power Plant a mile away.
Labor Minister Coming.
James Murdock, Canadian minister
of labor. is on his way here from
Ottawa in an attempt to settle the
strike now going into its fourteenth
week In the disorders that started
last week one miner has been killed,
scores have been injured and more
than 500, 900 worth of the company s
property has been damaged or stolen
The strike started last March from
a wage dispute and withdrawal of
miners credit at company stores.

Of the component elements will not
be in perfect accord, nor will there
be full agreement of view in detail on
political and other matters. In future,
therefore, it may split into several

A study of the history of the growth
of the present political parties in
Japan reveals the fact that none of
them was born with the backing Of
the populace. They were formed,
without exception, by some of the rul-

ing political power, which they had
lost, from the hands of others. The
late Marquis Okuma's Kaishinto and
the late Count Itagaki's Jiyuto were

proletarian party, on the other hand
has none of this weakness, and this
is the reason why its organization is
eagerly awaited by the masses. The
final aims Of politics must be to adj
vance the happiness and interests of
the people at large, not by any means
to compete for power If the prole-
tartan party in embryo assiduously
endeavors, when 1t is born, to pro-
mote the true interests of the people
at large, free from all self-seeking
designs, this will invest their actions
with supreme moral power, and this
moral power is more precious than
anything else. 1t will greatly help
the proletarian party to develop I'M

Diverse Interests Of Proletafians.
The Yamato says that it is quite
natural that the adoption of manhood
suffrage should be followed by the
creation of a political party devoted
in the interests of the proletariat, for
thru the instrumentality of such a
party the proletarians can hope to
maintain and advance their interests
and to bring about the establishment
of a new order of society by legis-
