PIONEER OF
AVIATION DIES
Typhaid Fever Kills Wilbur
Wright, Famous Otiioan
CFTEN HONORED BY MONARCHS
Washington Officials Mourn Loss of
Inventor President Sayi 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, O.
Wright had been lingering on the
border for many days, and though hla
condition from time to time gave hopa
to his family, the attending physicians
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 bis family, which
includes hla aged father, Illshop Mil
ton Wright; Miss Catherine Wright,
Orvllle, the co-inventor of the aero
plane; Reuchlln Wright and Lorin
Wright.
The noted aeroplane Inventor was
seized with typhoid May 4 while on a
business trip In the east. On that day
he returned to Dayton from Boston
and consulted the family physician.
He took to his bed almost Immediately
and It was several days before his
case was definitely diagnosed as ty
phoid. Mr. AVrlght was born near Millvllle,
Ind.. on April 16, 1867. His father
was Rev. Milton Wright, a bishop in
the United Brethren 'church, and his
mother, Susan Koerncr. Of a me
chanical turn of mind, he and his
brother, Orville Wright, had their own
modest bicycle factory and 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
leader 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 1908 and 1909, compelled
the praise and respect of the foreign
viators 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,
Ham8tead 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 or
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, when
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 tom coat and 18 change. The
20 note was a forgery.
The Paper Boat.
Bobby's Aunt Hess had 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 tho lake, Bobby," she remarked.
Bobby listened to this statement in
round-eyed wonder, but made no com
ment. Later he said to his mother:
"Mamma, do you know people go
sailing In paper boats on Lake
Luzerne? Isn't It awful queer?"
"Nonsense, Bobby.' People couldn't
Bail 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.

C0UNCILMEN
AREJRAPPED
Dictagraph Does Good Work at
Atlantic City
SEASHORE RESORT SENSATION
One Coun&ilman Prosecuted Others
Said to Have Confessed Political
Ring Alleged to Be in Bribery Plan.
Harry F. Dougherty, one of the
councllmen of Atlantic City, N. J ar
rested on a charge of having accepted
a bribe of J.'iOO In return for bis vote
in councils for the passage of an
ordinance providing for a concrete
boardwalk along the beach front do
signed to cost $1,000,000 or more, was
arraigned. Through his lawyer he
pleaded not guilty and was held in
J3.000 bail for the grand Jury.
Detective William J. Burns was 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 Duild a new boardwalk of
concrete.
"Harris" became familiar with
councllmen, offered several of them
fli.OOO each to pass the ordinance pro
viding for the boardwalk and paid $.00
apiece on account.
Later, Burns related, these councll
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 $500 In ten $30 bills.
Five confessions have bepn 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 councilmen and other
office holders will be under arrest
charged with accepting bribes or with
extorting money.
There is evidence to show that the
political ring and affiliations for three
years past has commercialized every
municipal appointment. Also by con
fesslon it has been learned that by
the extraordinary powers of the seven
teen councllmen or the majority of
them there has been a Bteady 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
TITANOEP0RT
Chairman Smith's Committee
Reports to Senate
LAPTAIN ROSTROfJ PRAIStU
Report Does Not Criticise Ismay Per
sonally Nor Captain Smith of the
Titanic Legislation Recommended.
The report of the committee in
vestigating the Titanic disaster was
presented to the senate. Chairman
Smith also made a speech.
The report and the speech did not
exactly agree. Senator Smith laid
more blame on the Titanlc's dead cap
tain and less on the Titanlc's wlrelesj
operators than did the committee. Tho
report 13 comprehensive and recom
mends drastic changes In navigation
legislation and In wireless regulations.
Many individuals and several cor
porate bodies are deemed blame
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 Captaiu
Rostron of the Carpathla.
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 ths
danger.
The chairman also criticised of
ficers of the White Star line 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 the Republicans
withholding their votes, the amended
Democratic iron and steel tariff bill
was passed by tho senate by a vote ol
35 to 22 and now will go to confer
ence, where there probably will be s
long struggle over it before It Is sent
to the president.
Senator Gronna of North Dakota
wps the only Republican who voted foi
the bill, while Senators Borah, Bourne.
Brlstow, Cummins and Works, pro
gressive Republicans, voted against It
Senator Penrose was one of ths
ninny Republicans who joined In th
standpat expedient of refusing to vote
so that the Democratic bill might gc
through and thus make it easy foi
the president to veto it on the ground
that It was not drawn in accordance
with the Republican principle of pro
tection. Senate Passes Pension Bill,
The senate passed the pension ap
propriation bill, already passed by tha
house. It carried $164,500,000, an in
crease of $12,500,000 over the amount
appropriated by- the house.
