ENDORSE LOCK CANAL Congressional Party Returns From Unofficial Investigation. Many of the Congressmen Left New York With the Idea That the Sea Level 8ystem Should Have Been Adopted, but All Were Convinced That the Lock Type Is Better of the Two Necessity For Large Steam ers on the Pacific. Further endorsement of the lock type of cnnal and assurances of the stability of the Gatun dam were voiced In New York this week by members of the congressional party which return ed on the steamer Panama after an official Inflection of the canal zone. Most of the representatives expressed themselves as delighted with their ex l'vlence and a number were outspok en in their praise of the work being accomplished on the canal. Representative Michael F. Conry of New York said: "Many of us left New York with the Idea that the sea level system of ca nal construction should have been adopted In preference to the lock sys tem. But after personally Inspecting the great work and familiarizing our selves with the conditions on the Isth mus all of us, I feel safe to say. re turn convinced that the lock system Is the better of the two and should be rarrled through to completion." Representative William Darius Jamleson of Iowa said the alarming re ports circulated concerning the sta bility of the Gatun dam had absolute ly no foundation. Representative James McLachlan of California declared his trip left him all the more convinced of the necessi ty for the passage of his bill providing for the building of 10 5,000-ton steam ships to ply between Puget sound and the city of Panama. "The ships that now ply between New York and Colon," said he. "leave here with large cargoes for the Isth mus and come back light With vessels In commission on the Pacific side there would be handed over large cargoes from the Pacific coast for de livery to the iiort of New York." OSBORNE DISSENTS Files Opinion In Favor of Proposed New Raliroad Through New York. Public Service Commissioner T. M. Osborne dissents from majority of his colleagues in the matter of the application of the Buffalo, Roches ter and Eastern raroad for a certifi cate of convenience and necestfty. He says In part: Mnnv months before this commis sion was created my own experience as mnvor of Auburn had taught me. and I had publicly stated the doctrine, that for- the most part our public service corporations must be recog nized as local monopolies; "and that a single strong company, under proper state control and supervision, may usually best serve a single community. Hut when It comes to protecting a simile railroad corporation In its monopoly over nil the immense terri tory from Ruffalo east through Roches ter snd Syracuse to Albany, and thence to Springfield, Worcester and Boston on the one hand, and to New York on the other: when it comes to tightening the grip of such a monopoly upon the commerce flowing from the WeBt to our two great Atlantic seaports, and upon that flowing from the great man ufacturing cities of New England and our own state, hack again to the West then I say that the doctrine of the advantages to be gained by protecting the monopoly of a single company is being pushed very much too far. While I would certainly have the Btate protect all public service corpor ations against blackmail, against the alume of competition, I believe the law never Intended. In these words of the railroad commissioners of 1883 already quoted, "to unreasonably prevent the prosecution of needed and proper en terprise." PEACE IN COAL REGIONS Award of 1902 Commission la Contin ued For Another Three Years. Ponce between the mine workers and operators in the anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania Is assured for another period of three years. The agreement continuing In force until March 31, 1912, the awards of the an thracite coil strike commission of 1902 was signed in the board room of the Reading company In Philadelphia on Thursday by the committee ot sev en on behalf of the mine owners and a similar committee representing the workers.

HUNDREDS DEAD AND INJURED Storm Wave From the North 8wept Four Southern States. The Btoim wave seems to have had Its origin In the north and swept from the lake region south In Irregular fashion, now moderating Its force as if spent, now growing more turbulent and angry. The state of Tennesse was an espec ially heavy sufferer. Estimates show that at leant 50 people were killed In that state alone, while the loss will not fall short of a million. At Frank lin and In Hlllsboro there was loss of life. The latter town is said to be practically destroyed. Near Pulaski, In Giles county, the death list reached 12 and many were Injured. The tornndo swept over Into Arkan sas and killed eight persons near Mammoth Springs. Atlanta and most of Georgia escaped with only slight property loss. But two young people, a brother and sis ter, lost their lives at Atlanta by the capsizing of a rowboat during a sudden squall. Striking Alabama and headed In a southeasterly direction the hurricane continued upon its course of destruc tion. Huntsvllle sends word of heavy loss of property with probably several lives sacrificed. At Hartzell at least one Is dead and many hurt. The death totals were swelled by three lightning victims at Monroe, Ga. DAMAGE TO CROPS Immense Celery Fields Near Arkport Suffered Heavily. The flood from Canlfteo river has subsided. The damage to crops In the Canlsteo valley from the storm and flood will reach many thousand dollars. The Immense celery fields In the vicinity of Arkport suffered heav ily.

The Constitutionalists at Constan tinople have lost no time In bring ing the conspirators In the recent uprising to trial. The military court, sitting In the war office, condemned about 250 prisoners to death and they were executed. Nadln Pasha, the sec ond eunuch of the palace, was hanged at dawn on the Galata bridge, and his great body was viewed by thousands In the early morning hours. The national assembly decided that Sultan Mchmed V. should take the oath to tho constitution within a week. Tho assembly also ratified the depor tation of Abdul Hamld to Salonlki. The government has decided to send a commission to Adana to try by court martial the instigators of the massacres, and the commission Is au thorized to act with the utmost se verity. It is alleged that, the chief authors of the recent mutiny were Abdul Hamld's favorite son, Prince Mehmed Burhan Eddlne, Rear Admiral Said Pasha, Bor. of Kinmll Pasha, the for mer grand vizier, and Nadir Pasha, who were engaged for a long time prior to the rising in corrupting the troops. The two former have fled. ICE UP 66 2-3 -PER CENT Notice of Increase Sent to All Con sumers With Monthly Bill.

War Office Not Likely to Conclude Ar rangements With the Inventers Un til Their Aeroplane Has Been Given a Trial In England Engagements In United States and Germany Will Prevent This For Some Months Ex pect to Sell Privately. London, May 1. There was a dem onstration of enthusiasm, remarkable In Its character, at the institution of civil engineers when the Aeronautical society of Great Britain conferred on Wilbur and Orville Wright, the aero planlsts of Dayton, O., Its first gold medal. Those who had gathered at the Institution to v.itness the presenta tion cheered and applauded repeatedly, while the Wright brothers blushingly bore their honors through an hour of the warme3t eulogies. Finally the entire assemblage rose up and gave three cheers for each of the brothers. They sang "For they are Jolly good fellows," and ended by cheering Miss Katherlne Wright. Sir Hiram Maxim, Lieutenant Gen eral Baden-Powell, Captain F. S. Cody, an American who Is struggling, but 'agar WRIGHT AEROPLANE. thus far unsuccessfully, to perfect his own aeroplane for the British army, and a largo numbpr of scientists and ladles were present Speeches were made by Major Baden-Powell, Colonel J. E. Capper, the war office's aeronautical expert, who referred to tiie Wright brothers as "unspoiled, as though they were no bodies," and declared that the nation which failed to keep pace with the flying developments might get badly left In war, and the chairman of the gathering, Edward Purkls Frost, who presented the medal. Both Wilbur and Orville Wright made brief speeches, tersely express ing their thanks. A reception was then held and the brothers were sur rounded, questioned and besieged for autographs. Earlier In the evening they were given a dinner at tho RItz hotel by the Aeronautical society. They were the guests at lunch of the lending aeronautical experts, Including seven Englishmen who had accom panied them in different flights In Franco. The war office Is not likely to con clude arrangements with the Inventors until their aeroplane has been given a trial In England In the presence of ex perts. Their engagements In the United States snd Germany, however, preclude the possibility of their being able to attend to this personally for some months, but they have made ar rangements with a builder here for the construction of machines and have ap pointed an agent for Great Britain. Their patents, therefore, will be pro tected and they expect to sell private ly, even If the government does not purchase. C0MM0DITIESDECISI0N Coal Carriers Practically Unaffected by New Interpretation. New York, May 4. With railroad attorneys expressing satisfaction rath er thah disapproval of the United States supreme court's decision In the so-called eortmoditles clause case, the Stock market and railroad interests generally, after a forenoon of uneasi ness, adjusted themselves quickly to the situation with the conviction that the coal carriers will be practically unaffected by the Interpretation of the law barring "legal ownership only." When the real meaning of the de cision was understood here the stock market quickly rallied and Philadel phia and Reading, which declined three points on first reports from Washington, almost immediately re covered Its losn, as did Delaware and Hudson and Pennsylvania, which lost 1 4 and 1 point respectively on the first break. Thereafter with the re ceipt of more assuring news steady advances were recorded, Heading reaching 151, Its highest point since 1905. and making a range from 143, its lowest point for the day.

With thir teen of the defense's witnesses dis posed of, the Hains trial started on Its third week before Justice Garretson In the supreme court here. Perhaps the most Important bit of testimony in be half of Captain Peter C. Halns, Jr., the defendant, charged with the murder of William E. Annls, came when Leo Bugg, a real estate dealer and a mem ber of the Bayslde Yacht club, where Annls was shot, testified that he had discussed the merits of certain prop erty adjoining the yacht club with Thornton Halns, the defendant's brother, ftnd at. one time made an ap pointment with Thornton Hains to meet him at the yacht club. Bugg's testimony tends to show lack of premeditation on the part of the de fendant and to corroborate that of Thornton Halns, who testified that he and the captain went to the yacht club on Aug. 15 last, the day on which Annls was killed, for the purpose of finding Bugg or his partner, Jesper son, to Inspect the Bayslde property. Most of the day's session was occu pied by the examination of officers of the United States army and govern ment employes, stationed at Fort Ham ilton and Fort Hancock, and the negro servants who were employed In Cap tain Halns' household at Fort Hamil ton at the time he was In the Philip pines. The army men testified to con versations with Captain Halns at vari ous times during July and August, 1908, and characterized his speech and conduct upon these occasions as "Irra tional." Emma Ivn-elle. the Hains' cook, and Llllle Sawyer and Minnie Boh me, negro maids who were in the employ of Mrs Claudia Hains, caused consid erable amusement in court by the characteristic manner of telling their stories of the alleged "antics" of "Billy" Annls and Claudia Hains at the Halns Fort Hamilton home during the captain's abrence.
