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.

LAMB QUIT TAKING SNUFF
Threw Box Away on Hampstead
Health, but Was Searching for
It Next Morning,
Hamstead Heath may yet contain a
precious relic of Charles Lamb. "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.
Burglar Dies From Fright.
A man named Albert Bisam sudden

when returning to her dwelling found
t young man engaged In searching a
supbonrd with his back toward the

:hrew up his hands and fell backward
an the floor. A post mortem estab

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.

CONVICTS MAKE "JIMMIES"
Inmates of Ohio Penitentiary Said to.
Manufacture Burglar Tools.
That burglar tools are made in the
Ohio pen by prisoners is the accusa
tion of the Columbus police as a re
sult of an Investigation of the charge
alleged against Gustav Ohlrich, the
prison guard arrested for alleged com
plicity In numerous burglaries in that
city. Ohlrkh is charged with having
burglar tools in his possession.
The police say they found a

from a house he was entering.
SON SLAYS FATHER
Quarrel Between Two Results Fatally.
Younger Man Escapes.
In a quarrel Robert Prieni, twenty
one years old, shot anil killed his
father, Herman Prlem, forty-five years
old, a merchant of Dunmore, Pa.
A tenant of the father's building re
ported a broken faucet and the two
went to repair it. A quarrel began.
The father drove the son out of the

within an hour. Young Prlem is at

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. Steel Tariff Bill Passed.
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.
The senate passed the pension ap
propriation bill, already passed by tha
house. It carried $104,500,000, an in
crease of $12,500,000 over the amount
appropriated by- the house.
$150,000 For Gettysburg Celebration
The senate passed the bill appro
prlating $150,0(10 toward preparing tilt
field of Gettysburg for the celebration
of t lie famous battle, which la to bf
held July 1. 2, 3 and 4, 113.
