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 flag that
he had waved ax he made a parachute
drop of 2,000 feet from a balloon at
Hillside park near Passaic, N. J., Fred
erick L. Wood, au 18-year-old aeron
aut of New Haven, Conn., fell help
less Into the Passaic river before aid
loss Into the Passaic river and drown
ed before aid could reach him. The
body hns not been recovered.
A thousand persons cheered as the
bit; balloon, filled with heated air, rose
from Hillside park, an amusement re
sort, bearing the youthful aeronaut
teated on a horizontal bar attached to
the parachute. As the balloon as
tended, Wood unfolded au American
flag, which he wuved to the cheering
hundreds below. A gentle northeast
breeze soon curried the balloon and
the aeronaut out of sight of the spec
tators. Near Nuttley the 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 bis horizontal bar, Wood
plunged downwards. Slowly the greot
umbrella-like parachute began to open
and with moderate speed began the
long descent.
Scores of persons in Nuttley watch
rd as ho gaily waved the big flag as he
came down. Neaiing the earth, Wood
saw that he would probably fall into
the Tassalc river, and waving his flag
as a last sajute to scores of cheering
spectators who had hurriedly gather
ed on the river bank, he prepared for
u plunge Into the water.
It was at this moment, when the
parachute was only a hundred feet
above the water, that a puff of air
caught the flag and wrapped It around
Wood's less. The aeronaut Btniggled
frontlenlly though Ineffectually to free
himself and with his limbs still bound
by the flag, plunged Into the river. He
rose to the surface and cried for help,
but before the terror-stricken specta
tors could lend their. aid Wood sank
and was drowned.
Turret Plate Stands the Test.
The biggest naval gun, the heaviest
projectilo ainT the highest explosive
known, combined with- close range
and deadly aim, were allowed to work
their full havoc ou the turret plate of
the monitor Florida. The result is
declared to be a victory for the turret
construction and this notwithstanding
the 11-Inch hardened .steel plate was
blackened, broken, the scams of the
turret sprung and the rivets and
screws loosened and twisted.
It was not five mluutes after the ter
rible impact that the finely balanced
mechanism of the turret was being
worked with perfect ease and the 12
Inch guu on the left side was trained
at will. Inside the turret where Btand
the gunners uiid gun crew, the havoc
was much less apparent than from the
outside. Examination showed that of
the many delicately adjusted instru
uients for fire control, sighting and
operating the turret few, If any, were
out of working order.
"If this hud happened in battle the
Florida would be lighting yet," said
one of the rear dmirals with enthus
iasm. Ther followed a futile attempt to de
stroy the newly designed fighting mast
erected on the st'.irn of the Florida.
After five ots from the Arkansas'
guns hadVJ'lpplc'K through it the
must still sTood firm.
"Forty shots would not bring it
down, and 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 batfle masts
of this design.
Talk of Sherman For Second Place.
Congressman James 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 nrGst 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 the nom
ination of Governor Hughes. If those
efforts are not aavillng nnfcthen New
York desires to present a candidate
for vico president it would be entirely
fit and proper for her to do so.
"I have always felt that the two
"tallest offices In the gift of the Amerl
oin. people ought to seek the men
other 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 aa being a candidate for the nom
ination of vice president, for the rea
sons I have assigned, I have no
thought of announcing myself."
Congress Adjourns Till December.
Congress adjourned sine die Sat
urday night. The galleries of both
bouses were ci.iwd"d, most of the vis
itors being women, who showed the
deepest interest In the proceedings on
the floors, which wore punctuated
With frequent recesses.
President Roosevelt arrived at the
senate side of the Capitol about 8
o'clock, accompanied by Secretary
Root and Secretary Garfield. As soon
as the seuate learned unofficially of
his presence a roccp.-i 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 general
deficiency and the government em
ployes' liability bill.
Shortly bafoe 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 thi pen with which he signed the
measure.
just before the senate adjourned
Mr. Hale presented his statement re
garding appropriations, which he
characterized as an "alarming
rmiount." 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 of the country exceeds
a billion dollars. The exact figures
were $1,008 804,894. an excess of $88,
206,750 over the figures for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 190H.
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 saw 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 of 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.
Would Annul Barge Canal Contract.
The first legal steps have been tak
en by the Schenectady trades assem
bly in an effort, to have annulled barge
canal contract No. 14, on the ground
that the provision of the labor laws
relative to the eight-hour day has been
violated.
The contract In question covers
work from Crescent to Rexford Flats,
and from Yosts to Mlndenville. It
calls'for an expenditure of $2,875,570.
The trades assembly has retained
attorneys and has secured numerous
affidavits to the effect that employes
on the canal work Included In the cou
tract are wo-ked nine hours a day.
Copies of these affidavits have been
served on the superintendent of pub
lic works, state engineer, state treas
urer and comptroller.

250
ANNIVERSARY
Of the Founding of the City of
Kingston, N. Y.
Great Military 7ndCivlo Parade Wai
Started by a Signal From President
Roosevelt at Washington Sham
Battle Re-Enacted Storming of Eto
pos Stockade by Indiana 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 of
Kingston last night closed the cele
bration of the 250th anniversary of 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 Btand from which
Governor Hughes reviewed the parade
was canopied, but thousands of Bight
Beers 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 before 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 benedlo
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
cious hall of school No. 7, and later at
tended the spectacular feature of the
day the attack on Esopus stockade,
on the lowlands below the htstorio
Senate house, the state's first Capitol.
Twenty-five thousand people lined
the ridge 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 -captives.
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.
All excursion trains and steamers
made the time of 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. Keene Celt Won Brooklyn Handicap.
New York, June 2. Cheered by
more than 25,000 persons, Celt, a
three-year-old colt, bearing the popu
lar colors of James R. Keene, won the
twenty-second running of the Brooklyn
handicap, one of the classic events of
the American turf, on the Graveseud
racetrack. He did It easily and at
the same time made a new record for
the race and the Gravesend track,
stepping the distance, one mile and
a quarter, In 2:04 1-5. Fair Play, Au
gust Belmont's gallant three-year-old,
which run a fine race against Colin on
Saturday In the Belmont stakes, was
second, and Master Robert was third.

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 buhonlo
plague at La Guayra the port would

COPYRIGHTED BOOKS
May Be Sold by Retailers Below tho
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
the case of the Bobbs-Merrlll compa
ny vs. R. H. Macy & Company and
Isidor & N. StrauB, the decision being
in favar 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 is
Ian Infringement of copyright. The
Bobbs-Merrlll company published a
novel and stipulated in a printed no
tice that it should noi be sold for less
than $1 per copy. The house of Macy
& Company sold the work for 89 cents,
and. 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 suits were brought by the
Scrlbners as representatives of the
American Publishers' association, and
they sought 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 one 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 and there was no evi
dence of an effort to influence others.
