ENTANGLED IN FLAG
Aeronaut Dropped Into Passaic
River and Was Drowned.
Turret Plates Stand the Test Con
gress Adjourns Noted Italian Auto
Driver Killed Batter Killed by a
Pitched Ball Mr. Cleveland Re
turns to Princeton.
Entangled In an American (lag that
he hud waved as he made a parachute
drop of 2,000 feet from a balloon at
Hillside park near Passaic, N. J., Fred
erick L. Wood, an 18-year-old aeron
aut of New Huven, Conn., fell help
lass into the Passaic river before aid
less Into the Passaic river and drown
ed before aid could nach him. The
body bus not been recovered.
A thousand persons cheered as the
big bulloou, filled with heated air, rose
trom Hillside park, an amusement re
sort, homing tho youthful aeronaut
teated on a horizontal bar attached to
the parachute. As the balloon as
I ended, Wood unfolded au American
(lag, which he wuved to the cheetlng
hundreds below. A gentle northeast
breeze soon carried (he balloon and
the aeronaut out of sight of the spec
tators. Near Nuttley tho balloon had risen
to a height estimated at 2,000 feet and
Wood decided to descend. Cutting
loose the rope that held the para
chute to the balloon and clutching the
ropes of his horizontal bar, Wood
plunged downwards. Slowly the great
umbrella-like parachute began to open
nnd with moderate speed began the
long descent.
Scores of persons in Nuttley watch
ed as he gaily wnved the big flag as he
came down. Nearing tho earth. Wood
saw that ho would probably fall into
tho Passaic river, and waving his flag
as a last sajute to scores of cheering
spectators who had hurriedly gather
ed on the river bunk, he prepared for
a plunge into the water.
It was at this moment, when the
parachute was only a hundred feet
above the water, that a pud of air
caught the flag and wrapped it around
Wood's less. The aeronaut struggled
frantically though Ineffectually to free
himself nnd with his limbs still bound
by the flag, plunged Into the river. He
rose to the surface and cried for help,
but before the tenor-stricken specta
tors rould lend their . aid Wood sank
and was drowned.
Turret Plate Stands the Test.
The biggest naval gun, the heaviest
projectile and the highest explosive
known, combined with- close range
and deadly aim, were allowed to work
their full huvoc tm the turret plate of
the monitor Florida. The remit is
declared to be a victory for the turret
construction and this notwithstanding
the 11-luch hardened steel plate was
blackened, broken, the scams ot the
turret sprung und the rivets and
screws loosened and twisted.
It was not five minutes after the ter
rible Impact that the finely balanced
mechanism of the turret was being
worked with perfect ease and the 12
inch gun on the left side was trained
at will. Inside the turret where stand
the gunners mid gun crew, the havoc
was much less apparent than from the
outside. Examination showed that of
the many delicately adjusted Instru
ments for fire control, sighting and
operating the turret few, it auy, were
out of working order.
"IC this hud happened In battle the
Florida would be fighting yet," said
ono of the rear admirals with enthus
iasm. Ther followed a futile attempt to de
stroy the newly designed fighting mast
erected on the sl".m of the Florida.
After five shots from the Arkansas'
guns had gone ripping through It the
mast still stood firm.
"Forty Bhots would not bring It
down, nnd no enemy would waste am
munition and time shooting at it,"
was the expert comment.
It was predicted that all new ships
would be equipped with battle masts
o this design.
Talk of Sherman For Second Place.
Congressman .lames S. Sherman re
turned from Washington to his home
in Utica on Friday. Asked concerning
the talk of his nomination for vice
president on the Republican ticket,
Mr. Sherman said:
"The constitution wisely, in my
judgment, provides that the president
and vice president must not be resi
dents of the same state. New York
has a candidate for president in the
person of Governor Hughes. His can
didacy has met with popular ap
proval throughout the state and from
Hie moment when Mr. Roosevelt was
eliminated as a possibility I have been
most heartily in accord with that can
didacy myself.
'We must go to Chicago determined
to exert our best efforts for tho nom
ination of Governor Hughes. If those
efforts are not aavillng and then New
York desires to present a candidate
for vice president it would be entirely
fit and proper for her to do so.
"I have always felt that the two
S'lest offices In the gift of the Ameri
can, people ought to seek the men
ther than that the men should seek
either of them. Of course I cannot
but be pleased with the suggestion
that has been made in various quar
ters that my nomination would be a
proper one and a popular one, but so
far as being a candidate for the nom
ination of vice president, for the rea
sons I have assigned, I have no
thought ot annouueiug myself."
Congress Adjourns Till December.
Congress adjourned sine die Sat
urday night. The galleries of both
houses were ct:wdd, most of the vis
itors being women, who showed the
deepest Interest In the proceedings on
the floorR, which were punctuated
with frequent recesses.
President. Roosevelt arrived at the
senate side ot the Capitol about 9
o'clock, accompanied by Secretary
Root and Secretary Garfield. As soon
as the senate learned unofficially of
hU presence a recess was taken for
thirty minutes to enable the vice pres
ident and senators to pay their re
spects. The president's visit to the
Capitol was to sign bills.
An hour after his arrival he had
signed all bills presented to him, In
cluding public buildings, the genera'
deficiency und the government em
ployes' liability bill.
Shortly bwfoe 10 o'clock the pres
ident Blgned the currency bill, passed
In the senate thn.. night. He present
ed to Representative Wilson of Chi
cago the pen with which he signed the
measure.
just before the senate adjourned
Mr. Hale prevented his statement re
garding appropriations, which he
characterized as an "alarming
rmount." He predicted a halt in the
future in "these enormous expendit
ures." The aggregate is larger than In any
previous session and for the first time
in the history ot the country exceeds
a billion dollars. The exact figures
were $1.008 804,894. an excess of $S8,
20fi,750 over the figures for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 190S.
Noted Auto Driver Killed.
Emanuel Cedrino, the noted Ital
ian automobile driver, was instantly
killed on PImlico racetrack at Balti
more Friday evening. He had been
preparing for races in which he was
to have taken part and was mak
ing some very fast miles. One had
just been finished in 51 seconds and
he- had passed the grand stand and
rounded the first corner of tho track
when spectators Baw his car shoot into
the air and turn an Irregular somer
sault, landing on the track upside
down.
Those who rushed to the spot found
Cedrino stretched on his back dead,
with a big gash in the back of his head
and portions of his brains scattered
about. He was some distance from
the car, from which he had appar
ently been thrown as it went over and
it is supposed that his head struck
the fence.
The accident appears to have been
caused by the collapse of the front
wheel on the right hand side ot the
car. It was a wooden wheel and small
fragments were all that could be found
after the accident. The tire was
found partially Intact. The machine
was totally wrecked.

250TH ANNIVERSARY
Of the Founding of the City ol
Kingston, N. Y.
Great Military and Civlo Parade Wai
Started by a Signal From President
Roosevelt at Washington Sham
Battle Re-Enacted Storming of Ess
pot Stockade by Indians In 1663.
Kingston, N. Y., June 2. After a
day devoted to outdoor festivities, In
cluding a military and civic parade
started by a signal from President
Roosevelt in Washington, a parade of
automobiles, a sham battle and an ad
dress by Governor Hughes, the city ot
Kingston last night closed the cele
bration of the 250th anniversary ot Its
founding as a settlement, with undi
minished fervor, by the flare of rock
ets and the glow of set pieces In a
fireworks display at Kingston Point
park.
Except for a slight shower while
the three mile parade was being re
viewed by Governor Hughes, weather
conditions were faultless, and no visi
tor has left Kingston without pleas
ant memories. The stand from which
Governor Hughes reviewed the parade
was canopied, but thousands of sight
seers who packed Kingston academy
campus and surrounding streets pro
tected themselves under the trees or
under raised umbrellas. The shower
lasted but three minutes.
Governor Hughes received an en
thusiastic ovation, and his remarks
concerning home rule were particu
larly applauded. Just beforo he be
gan to speak the governor's salute was
fired by the Second battery.
Rev. Hough Houston, presiding el
der of the Kingston district of the
Methodist Episcopal . church, made
the Invocation at the meeting where
the governor spoke, and Samuel D.
Coykendall presided. The benedic
tion was by Rev. Charles Mercer Hall,
son-in-law of ex-Judge Parker.
After the meeting, Governor and
Mrs. Hughes and other notable guests
were entertained at lunch In the spa
clous hall ot school No. 7, and later at
tended the spectacular feature of the
day the attack on Esopus stockade,
on the lowlands below the hlstorio
Senate house, the state's first Capitol.
Twenty-five thousand people lined
the ridgu fronting the lowlands, and
spread over five acres of the low
lands itself. The stockade, covered
with paper, contained men and wo
men, dressed In Dutch costumes, and
the attack was by various tribes of the
Order of Red Men. After a spectacu
lar attack and resistance, the Dutch
men were killed and the women were
carried away captives.
The attack was in miniature a rep
resentation of the attack made June 7,
1663, when the then village of Esopus
was destroyed and its inhabitants
were either massacred or made cap
tives. A reception at night at the Kings
ton club closed the formal functions.
At Kingston Point park an exhibition
of fireworks attracted thousands, in
cluding many excursion parties from
along the Hudson river, who did not
attend the day celebration.
The military organizations left for
their homes at night and during the
night the torpedo and submarine flotil
la left for New York. Governor and
Mrs. Hughes remained until today.
AU excursion trains and steamers
made the time ot their departure after
10 o'clock at night, until which time
the entire city bore a truly festal ap
pearance, with Impromptu parades and
carnivals of undreamed-of originality.
Music, red fire, conviviality and con
fetti were everywhere.
Messages of congratulation to the
city were received from President
Roosevelt and Vice President Fair
banks. Keen eli Celt Won Brooklyn Handicap.
New York, June 2. Cheered by

lar colors of James R. Kcene, won the

the American turf, on the Gravesend
racetrack. He did It easily and at
the same time made a new record for
tho race and the Gravesend track,
stepping the distance, one mile and
a quarter, in 2:04 1-5. Fair Play, Au

Plague Continues at La Guayra.
Caracas, May 28, via Willemstad,
June 1. Notwithstanding President
Castro's decree of May 23 In which
It was set forth that because of the
absence of any new cases of buhonio
plague at La Guayra the port would

several cases being reported daily.
COPYRIGHTED BOOKS
May Be Sold by Retailers Below the
Price Fixed by the Publisher.
Washington, June 2. The supreme
court of the United States decided
three important copyright cases, the
opinions being handed down by Jus
tice Day. The first decision was in
(he case of the Bobbs-Merrill compa
ny vs. R. H. Macy & Company and
Isidor & N. Straus, the decision boJug
in faver of Macy & Company.
In this case the court dealt with the
question whether the sale by a retail
dealer of a copyrighted book below
the price fixed by the publishers la
bn Infringement of copyright. The
-Bobbs-Merrlll company published a
novel and stipulated in a printed no
tice that it should not be sold for less
than $1 per copy. The house of Macy
& Company sold the work for 89 cents,
aud. suit was brought accordingly In
the circuit court of the United States
for the Southern district of New York,
but the bill was dismissed.
A like result followed when the case
was appealed to the circuit court of
appeals and the decision was in the
same line. The suit was based on the
theory that the right to dispose of a
copyrighted work gives the owner the
right to place restrictions on its sale.
The right of publishers to regulate
the prices at which their books may
be sold by booksellers and jobbers al
so was Involved in the two cases of
Charles Scribner's Sons vs. Isidor &
N. Straus, doing business as Macy &
Company, all of New York, which was
against the former concern.
The Buits were brought by the
Scrlbners as representatives of the
American Publishers' associetion, and
they Bought in the first of them to en
join the defendants from selling their
copyrighted books at prices below
those fixed by the association and
from buying any such publications
from any one who Is not a member of
tho association, on the ground that
such a course Is on Infringement of
copyright. In the second case the al
legation was that Macy & Co. had
sought to Induce other dealers to vio
late their contracts with the publish
ers. The fact was brought out that the
Publishers' association requires firms
dealing In their copyrighted books to
enter into a contract to maintain fixed
prices for a year and not to sell to
any ono who would cut prices. The
circuit court of appeals decided against
the publishers in both instances, hold
ing that the sellers had not agreed not
to cut prices nnd there was no evi
dence of an effort to Influence others.
