4 BATTLESHIPS ORDERED TO CUBA. | pioneer In Conquest of the Air Passed | Four Hundred and Fifty Bluejackets Under Command of Colonel Lucas Go to Guantanamo City. The gravity of the situation in Cuba, | demanding a-ction by the United States forces, was shown by the de cision of the government to dispatct at once four battleships to Cuban wa ters, and to move United States ma rines into the interior of the disturbed island. After a conference between Presi dent Taft and Secretary Knox at the White Honse it was announced that the government would immediately dispatch four American battleships tc Cuba. Four hundred and fifty American marines, under command of Colonel Lucas, were landed at Doses Point, close to Caimanera, from which point they proceeded by train for Guantan amo City. The announced purpose of the move ment is to guard American property and not for intervention. Admiral Osterhaus, commander of Away In His Ohic Home After a Long Struggle For Life. Wilbur Wright, elder of the two { Wright brothers, who made America pioneers in the science of aviation, died in Dayton, O. in his forty-sixth year, His death, due to typhoid fever, came after the distinguished patient bad made a gallant fight for his life. Mr. Wright had been lingering on the border for many days, and though his condition from time to time gave some hopes to members of his family, the attending physicians, Drs. D. B. Conklin and levi Spitler, maintained that he could not recover. When the patient succumbed to the ‘ever that had been racking his body lor days and nights he was surround- ed by the members of his family, which includes his aged father, Bishop Milton Wright; Miss natherine Wright, his sister; Orville, his broth- er, the co-inventor of the aeroplane; Reuchlin Wright and Lorin Wright, also brothers. Mr. Wright was seized with typhoid the Atlantic fleet, was ordered to send one of his divisions to Guantanamo. The admiral is at Key West with the! flagship Washington and the third and | fourth divisions of the fleet. i Admiral Ostehhaus notified the navy department that he has designated the battleships Missouri, Mississippi, Minnesota and Ohio, the fourth divi elon of the Atlantic fleet, to go to Guantanamo. He does not say when the ships will leave. Rear Admiral Nathaniel R. Usher commands the di vision. While battleships are ordered to Guantanamo, where the American ma- rines were landed, their field of oper- | ations will not be confined to that port. President Taft's decision to dis patch the squadron to Cuban waters was reached because of the need of precautionary measures and not with any intent to intervene at this time. Another point brought out in the! conference was the absence of satis factory telegraphic communication with American vessels now near, Cuba. The high power wireless appa- | ratug on the battleships will make such communication with naval sta- tions in the United States much quicker. It was stated at the navy depart: | ment that another principal consider | ation in sending four battleships to | Cuba was that the force of marines at | Guantanamo would be largely in-| creased. Each of the big ships carries ' a full quota of marines. It is not the | intention of the government to make a naval demonstration. Secretary Knox's conference with President Taft and the order for send- | + ing the ships followed closely a con-| | Mr. Knox had with M. H. For the Wrights knew that they had , ference fever cn May 4, while on a business trip in the east. On that day he re- turned to Dayton fiom Boston and consulted Dr. Conklin, the family phy- | sician. Eight and a half years ago a little item appeared in the newspapers, tele- graphed from Wilmington, N. C., that the Wright brothers, of Dayton, O., had managed to fly a machine through the air, along the Carolina coast, for a quarter of a ile. That was the beginning, the very | beginning, of & series of signal tri- umphs in aeromotion, constant and in- creasing, up to the very death of the distinguished aviator. But it did not seem so then. Folk who remembered what had happened to the hundreds of men in all ages | who had attempted to emulate the birds, laughed at the item and said “Fake” and “Darius Green.” But this time it was not Darius, and soon there was ample evidence that the two for- mer bicycle repairers from Ohio had achieved the greatest scientific victory of years among the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. There. for several years, the Wright | brothers had been experimenting with gliders, a cross between a box kite and an aeroplane, minus the engine. They found they could remain in the air for seconds at a time. Then they built a glider with an engine attached and tried it with varying success in short flights. The next year they built their No. 2 fiier and flew it above Dayton. On Nov. 8, 1904, it was flown for a dis- tance of 24% miles in 38 min. 3 sec. That was the next great victory. famous throughout the world as the | Lewis, president of the Guantanamo & | solved the way of aerial flight. Then Western railroad. | they announced that they would manu- Cablegrams from managers of Mr, | facture machines for foreign govern- | Lewis’ properties near Guantanamo ments. They declined to reveal the report the conditions growing more secret of the manufacture, however, serious. His railroad manager report- and the negotiations fell through. They Ti. ed the agitation for the removal ed the burning by the rebels of the railroad station at Olympo, as well as | an unconfirmed rumor of the burning. of the town of Tiguabus, near Guan-! tanamo. Mr. Lewis was careful to ex-' plain that he did not favor interven. tion, but only demanded protection for | his property. Philadelphia Fish Dealer Finds Ring | in Anglesea Captive. i Howard E. Buzby, of 2929 Ridge ' avenue, Philadelphia, found & diamond | ring in the mouth of one of the fish re- ceived in a barrel from Anglesea. i Buzby was unpacking the barrel and placing the fish in various bins pre- | paratory to filling several orders, when | he noticed one of the finny creatures bad a peculiar bulge to its gills. | Thinking the fish defective, he threw | it to one side. i Some time ater he opened the fish | with a knife and in its gills found a diamond ring. Buzby says that the. owner of the ring can obtain his prop. | erty upon proper identification. i Sleep-Walker Falls to Death. While asleep, and yet attempting to slide down the brass pole in a fire en- gine house, Lieutenant Joseph T. Ba- lak fell from the second floor of his quarters in Chicago and was killed. Jersey's Death List Lower. There were 3125 deaths in New Jer sey during the month ending May 10. This was a decrease of 219 from the previous month, and 316 less than the corresponding period last year. Claude Allen Is Guilty. After deliberating for two and a half hours the jury in Wytheville, Va, found Claude Swanson Allen guilty ot murder in the second degree for the killing of Judge Thornton Ll. Massie at Hillsville in March. The jury recommended his punish- ment be fixed at fifteen years in the penitentiary. Sentence was deferred in order that he may testify in the other cases growing out of the shooting up of the Carroll county court. Prince Makes Air Trip. The dirigible balloon Zeppelin IIL made a trip to Bremen from Hamburg, Germany, with Count Zeppelin in com- mand. Prince Henry of Prussia and Burgo- master Burchardt were passengers. Owing to a storm, no landing was made at Bremen, and after varying the course several times the Zeppelin IIL returned to Hamburg, Senate Baths at $6 Each. Charging that it costs $6 to bathe a senator in the luxurious bathrooms in e senate office bath, Senator John Williams, of Mississippi, re- fthe baths to make room for public would not patent the machines. Then came a period of serious finan- cial hardship for the brothers. Finally, in 1908, they secured patents, and a group of financiers capitalized the Wrights. Since then their financial success has been great. Says Rockefeller Has $900,000,000. The New York World says: “The litigation that has brought about the examination of John D. Rockefeller as a witness to tell of the present relations between Standard Oil and its former subsidiary com- panies, supposedly disassociated from it under the judgment of the United States supreme court, has involved also a quiet inquiry into the stock holdings and other forms of wealth of Mr. Rockefeller. “From all the data available, and one of the associate counsel !n this | inquiry said the available data were fairly exhaustive, the conclusion has been reached that John D. Rockefeller is now worth $900,000,000. “For the purposes of an average the Rockefeller income may be esti- mated at $60,000,000 a year, or $5, 000,000 a month, or $1,153,846.15 a week, or $164,725.31 a day, or $6863.97 an hour, or $114.40 a minute, or $1.903% a second. “He has given $174,500,000 to vari- ous charitable, educational and scien- tific institutions, but this has not made any impression on the vast principal of his wealth, being merely gifts out of the income.” Kills Father In Quarrel. Robert Priem, twenty-one years old, shot and killed his father, Herman Priem, forty-five years old, a mer- chant of Dunmore, near Scranton, Pa., in the course of a quarrel. The father is a hardware dealer and the son was employed in the store. A tenant of the father’s building next door reported a broken faucet and the two went to repair it. Quarreling be tween them, according to the neigh- bors, had been frequent, and it broke out while they were in the tenant's house. The father drove the son out of the bouse, so the tenants say, and said with him. mother and she persuaded him to go back to his father and try to friendly. The son returned, and the father, is said by the tenants, abused roundly and threatened to attack EE= g with a pick handle. The son thereupon drew a revolver and shot him. The ball pierced the body and death ensued within a short time. The son waited about for a short time and then made off. He tele i BES ments. $10,000 For Captain Rostron. | Captain Arthur H. Rostron, of the steamship Carpathia, which brought | into port the survivors of the Titanic disaster, was presented with a draft | for $10,000, a fund subscribed by read- ers of the New York American. The presentation ceremony took tron, in accepting, said that whatever part he had played in the Titanic tra- gedy was due to the loyalty of his crew, and it grieved him, he said, to know that honors were being thrust upon him through the sufferings of others. The largest contributor to the fund was Mrs. George D. Widener, of Phila. delphia, whoseh usband perished on the Titanic. She gave 2500. Former Soldier Kills Schoolgirl. Annie Lynch, a schoolgirl, thirteen years of age, was attacked and killed near her home in Phillipsburg, N. J., on Friday by Frank Brown, a former private in the United States army. Af- ter shooting the girl Brown wounded himself. He may recover. Brown went to the school where the girl was a pupil and told the princi- pal that Annie's mother had sent for her. He departed, but hid in an alley not far away, where he attacked her. She escaped after a struggle and was shot while running. After going two blocks she fell dead on her father’s doorstep Pardoned by the President. President Taft granted an uncondi- prominent citizen of Portland, Ore., who was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the government in 1906 of | public lands. There were two cases | against Jones. Francis J. Heney, | | former federal district attorney of | | Oregon, prosecuted Jones and William J. Burns worked up the evidence. General Bocth's Sight Gone. [ Surgeons in attendance on General !
