Here, too, is his extensive and valuable library of several thousand volumes consisting largely of the classics, valuable medical works, history, poetry and choice literature.

President Taft on Sunday preached another sermon. The scene changed from the Mormon tabernacle at Salt Lake City, Utah, a week ago, to the cornerstone laying of the First Univer salist church in East Portland, Ore. The president handled the silver trowel and worked hard to see that the stone was properly adjusted. His apparent earnestness in setting the stone called out great applause from the open air audience. The president referred to his vari ous church experiences, and in con- cluding said: “No church in this country, however humble it may be, that preaches the doctrime of true religion and true mor- ality will lack my earnest support to make it more influential whenever op- portunity offers.” The president's train later left for Sacramento, Cal. Mr. Taft had a truly religious day. which began when he attended thu morning services at the First Unitar fan church in Portland and listened to a sermon by Rev. W. G. Eliot, Jr. Fol lowing this service the president was the guest of honor at a luncheon ten- dered by Senator Bourne and whic’ included the various state and city of ficials. The line of march followed by the presidential party to East Portland was crowded and there was handclap ping and cheering all along the way. After the president had been intro duced at the cornerstone laying by Rev. James Corby, pastor of ths church, he said: “l don’t know that any one ques 90 MILES 1H 33 MIN. 33 SEG. Aviator Was Greeted by Wild Cheers From Warships and Banks of the River When He Established a New Record For Aeroplanes. New York, Oct. 5—An aeroplane flashed past the white dome of Grant's tomb, then, turning gracefully in mid- air over the waters of the Hudson, shot like a falcon back to Governor's Island, ten miles away. Wilbur Wright, of Dayton, O., thus placed his name in the rank with Hudson and Fulton in one of the most spectacular feats in the history of aeronautics. Over the mass of warships, from whose decks the hoarse cheers of the sailors were borne up to him in his elevated seat, he flew for twenty miles—ten miles up and ten miles back—remaining in the air for thirty- three minutes and thirty-three seconds and alighting at the aerodrome with- out a mishap. Business Suspended During Flight. During the flight business was prac- tically at a standstill in all that part of Manhattan from which a view of his remarkable performance was avail: able. Harbor craft shrieked their ap- plause, cheer after cheer swept up from the banks of the Hudson and the lower bay—for the Dayton aviator had “made good,” crowning the aviation program of the Hudson-Fulton cele bration with a record. Almost indistinguishable against the gray banked clouds, the machine soar- ed past old Castle Williams and soon entered the canon made by the giant skyscrapers of Manhattan Island and the Jersey hills. At this point the aeroplane was flying at a height of nearly 200 feet, but unexpected air cur- rents caused by the great buildings moved the aviator to bring his craft closer to the water. Tilting the elevat- ing rudder, he slowly brought the ma- chine down, sloping gradually until he was but a bare hundred feet above the tooting ferryboats and the busy river trafic. His motor was churning as regularly as a clock and, settling him- self in his seat, he sped onward up the river. Over the warships of four great pow- ers he passed, his progress marked by cheers from the sailors of his own country and those of Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy. The blue jackets lined the rails of their ships and gazed in wonderment at the little craft above them, perhaps thinking vaguely that some day it might ren- der their own monster fighting ma- chines obsolete, Returned at High Speed. When the air vessel reached the British cruiser Argyll, anchored an eighth of a mile above Grant's tomb, Wright brought his direction rudders into play, and descending an easy and graceful curve, started on his return journey down the river. The wind con- ditions which had bothered him on the journey up were now more favorable, and it was here that the speed possi- bilities of the machine were demon: strated. While the ten miles up the stream occupied nearly twenty min. utes, the return flight was made in little mnre than thirteen minutes, or at a rate approximately of forty-two miles an hour. Among the first to extend his con- gratulations was Major General Leon- ard Wood, U. 8. A, commanding the department of the east, who had heen an interested spectator. Other army officers also warmly shook the aviator by the hand, exclaiming: “It was a splendid performance; I congratulate you.” American and foreign naval officers gathered here who witnessed Wilbur Wright's flight up the Hudson, while impressed with the manner in which the aviator controlled his craft, are nevertheless of the opinion that the machine would be an easy target for shrapnel fired from the big guns. This was the view taken by Commander Sims, of the Minnesota, who pointed out that an aviator out of gun range would be equally out of position to drop a projectile on a battleship. Advertised as Dead; Is Arrested. Pittsburg, Oct. 5. — Theodore J. Lecky, whose death notice appeared in Pittsburg newspapers last Saturday. was arrested and a technical charge of suspicious person stands against him.

The notice was telephoned to the newspapers. Will Give School $1,700,000. New York, Oct. 5—Charles M.

Washington, Oct. 5. — There is a strong prospect that the house of rep resentatives will engage in linen wash- ing when it meets next December. Rep- resentative Herbert Parsons, of New York, will have an opportunity to make good his charge that an unholy alli- ance was made between Speaker Can- non and Tammany representatives in congress, whereby the New York legis lature was to be stopped from passing legislation intended to prevent frauds in elections in New York city, in re turn for Democratic support in organ- izing the house. The charge is too serious to be passed lightly and there is no doubt an investigation will be ordered. Cannon Courts Investigation. Speaker Cannon has denied the charges and has indicated his willing: ness that an investigation be made. His secretary, Mr. Busbey, who is in this city, declares there was never any understanding between the speaker and Tammany regarding the support of the house organization in return for favors by the Republican legislature in Albany. The record of the votes upon the adoption of the rules of the house is pointed to as a refutation of the alleged compact. It is asserted that this record shows that the votes of New York Democrats were not ex- pected to perfect the organization. Speaker Cannon intimates that Mr. Parsons was disappointed and indig- nant because he did not receive an ap- pointment on the committee on inter state and foreign commerce. The speaker's belief is that disappointment inspired the New York congressman's charges agaiest Mr. Cannon. Mr. Par sons has emphatically denied that his committee assignments had anything whatever to do with his denunciation of what he declares was a deal be tween Tammany and New York lead- ers, whereby Tammany's aid in the house was to be repaid by Republican aid for Tammany at Albany. House Will Investigate. As Mr. Parsons is so emphatic in his charge and does not withdraw his public statement, there is nothing to be done now except to have the matter passed upon by a special committee of congress, just as last congress the charge of the late Governor, and for mer Representative Lilley, of Connec- ticut, that undue influence had been exerted in congress hy & sub-werine boat company, was investigated, The integrity of the speaker of the house organization has been assailed by a member of the house, and a thorough investigation is imperative, Peary Hero of Navai Parade. New York, both city and state, gave to Commander Robert E. Peary such a welcome home as few returning heroes can ever hope to receive. From the bridge of his Arctic ship Roosevelt, Commander Peary, with his wife by his side, was the most promi nent feature of the sixty-mile Hudson Fulton naval parade from New York to Newburgh. All the way, land and water vied with each other in hurling their cheers of congratulation through the air to the white little ship where on the tall military looking man smiled back his answer to their greet ings. Meanwhile Captain Bartlett was kept at work so incessantly with the whistle cord answering the sa lutes of passing craft that Chief En gineer Wardwell called up from the engine room that he would not have steam enough to move the vessel if they didn't stop the whistle. Falls 18 Stories—Hits Spiked Fence. Falling from the eighteenth floor of a skyscraper office building nea: Broad and Chestnut streets, Phila: delphia, Robert Bradbury met a horrible death in sight of hundreds of spectators. Mystery surrounds the cause of his fall. When he attracted the attention of spectators by his screams he was rapidly ralling through the ait in the rear of the buildings on a small thoroughfare known as Watts street. When he finally landed on a spiked fence his body was literally cut into pieces.

LINCOLN PARTY MEN SAY THEY MAY SUE Harrisburg Republican Offs Holders Steal Appellation wn. MUST DROP CLAIM OR SUFFER Real Lincoln Party Men Want to Make Proper Use of Their Name, But Are Foiled by Trick of Repub lican Machine Emisaries. The desperate straits to which the Republican machine has been reduc just been exposed at few days ago members of Party went to the state capitol with the view of preempting the name der which they have been trying form some of the abuses in phia for three or four years an covered that others had been there fore them and taken the name. Of course they were greatly sur prised at this turn of affairs and set about to ascertain who the parties who had thus taken liberties with their party appellation are and what pur pose they have in mind. They dis covered that the pre-emptors in this case are a lot of Dauphin county of fice holders, the purpose of whom is not to use the name for the purpose of promoting reform, but to prevent others from doing that. It was a scurvy trick, That these machine politicians are likely to get into trouble as a result of their trick may be inferred from the following dispatch from Harris burg. In preempting a party appella- tion it is necessary for the petition ers to swear that they are members of that party if it is a party already in existence. If the Harrisburg office holders have taken such an oath they have simply purjured themselves and ought to be prosecuted and punished for the crime. Following is the dispatch: Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 23.—Some of the party workers the Republican ranks in Harrisburg who are on the court house pay roll as office attaches are liable to get into trouble if cer iain contemp proceedings are car ried out by men connected with what was known as the Lincoln party. It appears that some of the Inde Jendent Republicans in the state in alided to get out a ainte Heket under e appe on Lincoln for the purpose of placing the Democratic state candi dates on it all over the state, and in Philadelphia placing the names of the Penn pa county candidates under the same heading.
