YOUNG MAN HAS
BECOME INSANE
Because of Death of Woman
With Wtiom He Was Driving.
Poughkcepsie, Oct. 5. Robert Davis,
a prominent young man of Amenta,
Dutchess county, has gone Insane be
cause of an accident last Saturday
night. Davis and Miss Bertha Dorsey,
a school teacher, were driving near
the Harlem division of the New York
Central railroad when their horsa be
came frightened.
Davis got out to hold the horse by
the head. The animal plunged, broke
away from Davis and ran on the tracks
Just as an express train came along
and killed Miss Dorsey and the horse.
The affair has so preyed upon the
young man's mind that he 'has lost his
reason and attending physicians say
It Is possible he may never again be
sans.
PRESIDENT IN CALIFORNIA
Spoke at Sacramento of Conservation
of Natural Resources.
Sacremento, Oct. 5. After making
one of the longest jumps of his trip
and traveling for 25 hourB through Ore
gon and the northern half of Califor
nia, President Tnft arrived here last
night at 7-10 o'clock to remain until
4 o'clock this morning, when he pro

all his power to Induce congress to

The only stops made on the way be
tween Portland and Sacramento were
at division points stops necessary to
the operation- of the train. There
were crowds at each of these places
and the president appeared on tho
rear platform of his car to shake hands
or to make a few Informal remarks.
Mr. Taft thoroughly enjoyed his slay

Frederick William of Germany
Taken up by Aviator.
Unprecedented Height of 1,600 Feet
Was Reached Crown Prince Had
Been Constantly Urging Wright to
Take Him Up Sines He First Saw
the American Flyer Aviator Says
He Never Took Up a Passenger Who
Showed Better Nerve.
Orvllle Wright, the American avia
tor at Potsdam, broke his own and
all other records for high flying.
He reached the unprecedented bright
of more than 1,000 Teet, although an
oflicial measurement was not taken.
He had a red letter day In a double
sen.e, in his experience as an aviator,
taking up Crown Prince Frederick
William as a passenger and more than
doubling the altitude record which he
pado recently over the same field.
The crown prince had been con
stantly urging Wright since ht first
saw the American fly to take him up
as a passenger. Wright evaded this
responsibility while making flights at
the Tempelhof field, owing to the un
favorable winds, but since the begin
ning of the flights at Bornstedt field,
near Potsdam, the prince had been
telephoning the aviator every morn
ing, asking him If he was ready to
gratify his request. Wright finally
consented Saturday.
With regard to his passenger, the
crown prince, Mr. Wright said: "The
prince did not say much more than
'fine,' during the flight, but I was able
to read his Impressions from his face.
I never took up a passenger who look
ed so pleased. He Just smiled when
we started and he kept smiling all
along. I felt a great responsibility
in having the future German emperor
as a passenger. Not that I mistrusted
the machine, but any li'l9 irregular
ity might cause the people r.n'ticty. I
stayed low at first but the pifncu kept
urging me to go higher. '
TRAGEDIES OF FAR NORTH
Crew of Crushed Whaler Picked Up;
Story of Cannibalism.
Tragedy in the Icy waters of the
Far North formed the burden of
the news brought to the port of St.
Johns, N. F., by the Hudson Ray com
pany's steamer Adventure, which ar
rived with the crew of the lost Dundee
whaler Paradox, and the story of an
Eskimo who, driven to cnnniballsm by
starvation, ate his child, and shooting
several neighbors who attempted sum
mary punishment, fled into the track
less wilderness of ice.
The Paradox, one of the fleet of Dun
dee whalers, met the fate of her com
panion shl;i Snowdrop, when she was
crunched in the Ice floes off Baffin
Lund, early In August a year ago.
The crew with scanty provisions made
their perilous way over the broken Ice
towards the nu-inlnnd and were picked
up by the Hudson Bay company's
steamer Pelican, which took them to
Fort Churchill, where they remained
until the arilvrl of the Adventure on
her regular fall trip.
The Hudson Bay mounted police re
port through dispatches brought by
the Adventure the cannibalism of the
starving Eskimo. The man's fishing
and hunting season had been a failure
and driven mad by hunger he cut the
throat of one of his children and then
ate the little victim.
When the man's neighbors learned
of the horribio crime they attacked
him according to the primitive law of
their race. The outcast fled to his
Igloo and beat off all assaults, shooting
down several of the attacking party
and escaping Into the wilderness.
Whether he finally succeeded In reach
ing some remote settlement where the
news of his crime had not reached or
whether he succumbed to starvation Is
not known.

HUDSCN-FUUON PARADE
8o Many Foreign Military Men Nevei
Before Seen on American Streets.
Twenty-five thousand men of armt
marched In New York city past th
massed representatives and special
envoys of a7 nations, while two mil
lion citizen spectators shouted them
selves hoarse in cheers. The greal
military parade was the climax of tht
Hudson-Fulton celebration.
Although there were tremendous
ovations for each body of American
troops and unstinted applause in over
whelming volume for the British sail
ors, the most conspicuous reception ol
the day went to the sailors of the Ger
man fleet, a picked body of magnifi
cent men. who as they reached the
reviewing stand fell into the formal
slap-slap of the parade goose-step and
burst Into "My Countiy, 'TIs of Thee,"
with an overwhelming volume ol
brasses and a fervor which took away
the breath of the listeners. The spec
tators sat silent for a moment and
then, rising bareheaded, cheered and
cheered and cheered again, and waved
hats and handkerchiefs.
So many men representing so many
branches of the war departments of
the world have not been seen on Amer
ican streets before; so many wearing
American colors have not been seen
since the days of the Civil war. The
total count of thote In Hue outnum
bered the enlisted roll of the Ameri
can regular army before the Spanish
American war. Four thousand four
hundred police kept the crowd In line.
The parade followed strictly the or
der of oflicial precedence. First came
Admiral Sir Edward Seymour's men,
the bluejackets and marines of the
British fleet; then the Germans, and
following the men of the Netherlands
and the Italian midshipmen In com
pany front with their sailors bringing
up the rear. Then came the repre
sentatives of the I'nlted States with
the West Point cadets leading.
Then followed the coast artillery,
the VnlteJ Stptes marine band of the
Atlantic fleet In scarlet and gold, the
marine corps, the sailors of the various
ships, the naval militia, the National
Guard and lastly the drab-garbed reg
ulars. The cadets of the Argentine
training ship, trim and youthful, found
a place between the American sailors
and the naval militia.

TO
Prevented Wright's Flight Ovci
New York's High Buildings.
i
Congratulated by Major General Leon
ard Wood and Other Army Officers
Who Witnessed His Flight Up the
Hudson From Governor's Island.
Wright Goes to Washington Today.
Curtiss' Machine Taken Apart and
Shipped to St. Louis.
New York, Oct. G. Wilbur Wright
piade a successful flight yesterday
from Governor's Island across the
bay and up the Hudson to Grant's
tomb. The morning flight was made
under conditions only moderately fa
vorable. He had intended to Improve upon his
achievement of the morning by mak
ing a longer and more hazardous flight
at sunset, but the crippling; of his mo
tor Just as he was about to start on
the evening attempt dashed his hopes
as well as those of thousands who had
assembled on Governor's Island and
along the waterfront to cheer him on.
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, describing 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
stream occupied nearly twenty min
utes, .the return flight was made In
little more than 13 minutes, or at a
rate of approximately 42 miles an hour.
Alighted With Ease of a Bird.
Nearing the harbor entrance again
he was confronted with the same con
ditions which had caused him to vary
his altitude on the way up. Again he
lowered himself and when he reached
the open water of the bay he was fly
ing barely 60 feet above the surface.
Thence onward he gradually lessened
his height. Past Governor's Island
the machine sped, an eighth of a mile
over the bay; then veering sharply
around, Wright headed swiftly for the
landing place, on which he settled with"
the ease of a bird, amid the enthusias
tic plaudits of soldiers and civilians.
Among the first to extend his con
gratulations was Major General Leon
ard Wood, V. S. A., commanding the
department of the East, who had been
an Interested spectator. Other army
officers warmly shook the aviator by
the hand, exclaiming: "It Is a splendid
performance; I congratulate you."
The flight wns a surprise to all
Throughout the Hudson-Fulton cele
bration crowds had waltyd In vain for
the flight up the Hudson, expecting
spectacular performances from both
Wright and Glenn Curtiss. But with
the exception of Wright's flights on
Wednesday last when he encircled the
statue of Liberty, the elements pre
vented any substantial flight. Wright's
last performance was hailed as spec
tacular, and as If by magic, the news
spread along the river front from the
Battery to Harlem. The tops of office
buildings, apartments, dwellings and
other structures were soon crowded
with humanity, who witnessed his up
stream Journey.
There was keen disappointment
when the mishap to the motor pref
vented a second flight, for the aviator
had announced Immediately after the
conclusion of his morning flight that
ho would make a longer and more
siiectactiiar one In the afternoon,
when he proposed to fly not only over
water but over the less monumental
buildings hedging the water front of
lower New York, thence westward un
til he reached the New Jersey shore,
and back to Governor's Island.
Repairs Will Require Days.
Wright was preparing for the sec
ond flight when the accident which
marred a day of achievement occurred.
Due to excessive explosive pressure a
cylinder head blew loose, and shot
through the canvas of the upper plane,
ripping a large hole. As soon as the
damage was ascertained Wright or
dered the machine wheeled back to Its
shed. Such repairs as were needed to
put this flyer into commission again,
he said, would occupy several days
and he could not stop In New York
that length of time.
I la was asked If the accident could
have happened while the machine was
up In the air.
"Yes, it could have," he said, "any
thing can happen in the air."
Ho was confident, however, even In
such a perilous contingency he could
have brought his biplane to earth on
even keel and without harm to himself.
The Curtiss machine, which it hnl
been hoped would nlso fly, was take!
apart In the morning and shipped to
St. Louis. Curtiss was summoned to
llammonlsKi't, N. Y., early In the
duy on important business, but he will
leave for St. Louis today to give ex
hibition filghts there In connection
with the centennial celebration.
