PIONEER OF AVIATION DIES TyphDid Fever Kills Wilbur Wright, Famous Ohloan OFTEN HONOREDBY MONARCHS Washington Officials Mourn Loss of Inventor President Says Name of Wright Should Stand With Fulton. Following a sinking spell Wilbur Wright, the pioneer aviator, died of typhoid fever at his home In Dayton, 0. Wright had been lingering on the bonier for many days, and though his condition from time to time gave liopa to his family, the attending phyBiciaus maintained throughout the latter part of his sickness that he could not re cover. When he succumbed to the burning fever that had racked his body for days and nights he was surrounded by the members of his family, which includes his aged father, Bishop Mil ton Wright; Miss Catherine Wright, Orvllle, the co-Inventor of the aero plane; Reuchlln Wright and Lorln Wright. The noted aeroplane inventor was seized with typhoid May 4 while on a business trip in the east. On that day be returned to Dayton from Boston and consulted the family physician. He took to bis bed almost Immediately and It was several days before his case was dellnitely diagnosed as ty phoid. .Mr. Wright was born near Millville, Ind., on April 16, 1887. 'lis father was Rev. Mliton Wright, a bishop in the United Brethren 'church, and his mother, Susan Koerner. Of a me chanical turn of mind, he and his brother, Orvllle Wright, had their own modest bicycle factory nnd a repair shop in Dayton when the two wheel vehicle was at the height of its popu larity and In their less busy moments applied themselves to the study of aviation. Wilbur, the elder brother, was the lender in the early experiments, but in all their associations it was as the "Wright brothers" that they shared credit for their progressive Improve ments and neither sought the lion's share of the honors which fell to them. Wilbur, by his achievements in Europe In 1008 and 1900, compelled the nralse and resnect of the foreign laviators and students, and kings de- ighted to do him honor. Capital Mourns Wright.

"One summer's evening," writes Hone, "I was walking on Hampstead Heath with Charles Lamb, and we had talked ourselves Into a philosophic contempt of our slavery to the habit of snuff tak ing, and with the firm resolution of never again taking a single pinch we threw our snuffboxes away from the hill on which we stood, far among the furze and brambles below, and went home in triumph; I began to be very miserable, was wretched all night; in the morning I was walking on the same hill; I saw Charles Lamb be low, searching among the bushes; he looked up laughing, and saying, "What, you are come to look for your snuff box too!' '"Oh, no,' said I, taking a pinch out of a paper in my waistcoat pocket, 'I went for a halfpenny worth to the first shop that was open.' "London Chronicle. Expensive Slip. . A well-dressed man was hurrying along the Rue de Passy, Paris, w'hen he slipped, and falling forward dashed his elbow through the window of a wine shop. The proprietor rushed out to claim the price of his window and a large crowd gathered to see fair play. The man who had broken the window protested that he had no money. "Search him!" shouted some one in the crowd. There were no po licemen about, so the wineshop keeper and a few friends took the law into their own hands, searched the man's pockets and found a 20 note. The crowd advised the wineshop keeper to pay himself well for his broken window. He took 2 to pay for his broken glass, and the unpopu lar man who had broken It went away with a torn coat and 18 chauge. The 20 note was a forgery. The Paper Boat. Hobby's Aunt rtess hnd been telling him about her travels In Switzerland, describing particularly her visit to Lake Luzerne. "We got aboard the little newspaper boat that sails all over the lake, Bobby," she remarked. Bobby listened to this statement in round-eyed wonder, but made no com ment. Later lie said to his mother: "Mamma, do you know people go sailing ln paper boats on Lake Luzerne? Isn't it awful queer?" "Nonsense, Bobby.' People couldn't sail In paper boats. Where did you get such an absurd notion?" "Aunt Bess told me that she and Uncle Bill got aboard a little paper boat and sailed' all over Lake Luzerne," Insisted Bobby. Then Bob by's mother explained.

COUNCILMEN AREJRAPPED Dictagraph Does Good Work at Atlantic City SEASHORE RESORT SENSATION One Councilman Prosecuted Others Said to Have Confessed Political Ring Alleged to Be in Bribery Plan. Harry F. Dougherty, one of the councilnien of Atlantic City, N. J., ar rested on a charge of having accepted a bribe of $."00 in return for his vote in councils for the passage of an ordinance providing for a concrete boardwalk along the beach front de signed to cost $1,000,000 or more, was arraigned. Through his lawyer he pleaded not guilty and was held iu $3,000 bail for the grand Jury. Detective William J. Burns waa the chief witness. He related how he had been summoned to investigate alleged corrupt acts and dishonesty In civic matters. He evolved a "fake" board walk scheme to catch certain council men and city officials. He summoned one of his operatives here and had him pose as ".Mr. Harris." a New York contractor, anxious to get a con tract to build a new boardwalk of concrete. "Harris" became familiar with councilnien, offered several of them Jo, 000 each to pass the ordinance pro viding for the boardwalk and paid $500 apiece on account. Later, Burns related, these council men were informed of the trap into which they had fallen. According to his story all but one of them con fessed and returned the bribe money. Dougherty refused to give back the money or to confess and he was ar rested. Smiley, a Burns operator, testified to the installation of a dictagraph in a hotel. Smiley said he paid Dough erty the $.'i00 in ten $."0 bills. Five confessions have been made and It Is said that before the scandal Is fully ventilated between thirty and forty men, political leaders and lieu tenants, business men and a number of the seventeen councilnien and other office holders will be under arrest charged with accepting brihes or with extorting money. There Is evidence to show that the political ring and affiliations for three years past has commercialized every municipal appointment. AIko by con fession It has been learned that by the extraordinary powers of the seven teen councilnien or the majority of them there has been a steady traffic in excise licenses by means of hold ups and extra demands, that all places of amusements have been similarly treated and that the sums received from irregular places brought In large sums continuously to the politi cal powers.

CENSURE MANY IN TITANICREPORT Chairman Smith's Committee Reports to Senate CAPTAIN ROSTROil PRAIStU Report Does Not Criticise Ismay Per sonally Nor Captain Smith of the Titanic Legislation Recommended. Tho report of the committee in vestigating the Titanic disaster wa3 presented to the senate. Chairman Smith also made a speech. The report aud the speech did not exactly agree. Senator Smith laid more blame on the Tltanic's dead cap tain and less on tho Tltanic's wireless operators than did the committee. Tho report is comprehensive and recom mends drastic changes in navigation legislation and in wireless regulations. Many individuals and several cor porate bodies are deemed blamo worthy by the committee: Captain Lord of the California, for Ignoring distress rockets. Captain Smith of the Titanic, for ignoring repeated ice warnings with out decreasing maximum speed, doubling lookouts or warning passen gers after collision. British board of trade, for lax In spection and absolute maritime laws Shipbuilders, for failing to make "watertight" compartments water tight. International Mercantile Marine company, for manning Titanic with un drilled "short" crew. Survivors of crew, for failing to bunch survivors in half filled boats and return with emptied lifeboats to secure drowning swimmers. A gold medal and the thanks of con gress, carrying with it the privilege of admission to the floor of the senate and house, was ordered by the senate as a fitting recognition on the part of this nation of the bravery of Captain Rostron of the Carpathia. J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the International Mercantile Marine company, is not personally criticised by the committee. In his speech Chairman Smith declared Captain Smith of tho liner was directly responsible, as he failed to heed warnings of other ships about Icebergs. Although no general alarm was given and no organized system of safety undertaken, Smith says J. Bruce Ismay was advised of tha danger. The chairman also criticised of ficers of the White Star lino for Juggling with the truth after receiving information from their Montreal of fice the morning following the acci dent.

With more than half tho Republicans withholding their votes, the amended Democratic Iron and steel tariff bill was passed by the senate by a voto o! 35 to 22 and now will go to confer ence, where there probably will be long struggle over it before it is sent to the president. Senator Gronna of North Dakota wps the only Republican who voted fot the bill, while Senators Borah, Bourne Bristow, Cummins and Works, pro gressive Republicans, voted against it Senator Penrose was one of the many Republicans who joined in th standpat expedient of refusing to vote so that the Democratic bill might gc through and thus make it easy fot the president to veto it on the ground that it was not drawn in accordance with the Republican principle of pro Senate Passes Pension Bill.
