PATENT LAWYER SMITH, NOW
SKKKING STRONG, LIGHT EN
GINE, WILL MAKE TlUAIi TRIP
THIS PALL, IT IS EXPECTED
MAY SAIL OYER FORT
MEYER PARADE GROUND.
Earl Sherwood swore up nnd
down yesterday that when he gets
back to Washington, say about the
first of September, one of the first
jobs he will tackle will be the per
fection of the neroplane In which, ho
says, he and Rexford M. Smith, the
patent lawyer he has had helping
htm in the Fnrnham case, are equally
Interested.
"I may not make the first trip into
the air myself," said the Washing
ton lawyer, "for I am rather of a
heavy man to be shooting up Into
blue space in nn airship. I think
Smith, who is the builder, the prac
tical man, will make the first flight
alone. He understands the opera
ting as well as the construction of
the thing and he is about GO pounds
lighter than I. He won't weigh
much, if any, over 1G0. I weigh a
little more than 200."
The principal prouiem about the
Smith-Sherwood ship Just now, he
said, is to get an engine at once
light and strong. When that is
installed, as Mr. Sherwood sayS It
will be this fall, the sky pilot, Law
yer Smith, will be ready to go up.
Air. Sherwood said he didn't know
yet whether or not Smith would try
to imitate Orville Wright's feat and
sail over Fort Meyer parade ground,
just across the Potomac from Wash
ignton, at a 42-mlle-an-hour clip.
Still, he did not seem to consider
Fort Meyer an Impossibility.
Rexford M. Smith Is one of the
bright minds of the country when it
comes to patent law. His main of
fice is In Washington and there he
keeps 10 men at work all the time,
drawing up specifications and look
ing after the technicals of the office.
He visits the office for about an hour
a day, and much of his time out
side is spent at the shop where his
aeroplane is being touched up.
.air. -Sherwood does not know juBt
when he will have to be In Wash
ington to argue his big case. The
attorney-general has 30 days to
answer the brief Mr. Sherwood filed
just before he left Washington July
1 for Honesdale.
"It took me 60 days to get up that
brief, and I don't think he'll answer
It in 30. He'll get an extension of
time. He'll need CO days to answer
If he's able to answer at all," said
he.
Mr. Sherwood is enjoying his rest
in Wayne county. He meets people
every day whom he is glad to see
and who, in turn, are glad to see
him. He says they shall all have a
picture a big one, suitable for,
framing when the Smith-Sherwood
airship makes its appearance in the
sky.

UNEASY IX MINNESOTA OVER
CONSERVATION CONGRESS
THltESII OUT ISSUES TODAY
GOVERNOR EltEHHAKT AND
OTHEIt CAXDIDATES PEAK EF
FECT UPON STATE VOTE, fp
Washington, July 14. A merry row
has started over the conservation con
gress scheduled to meet In St Paul
on Sept. 0, and the Minnesota city may
withdraw Its invitation to GIfford Pin
chot and his followers.
This situation has been presented by
the action of Mr. Pinehot nnd his
associates In making up n program of
speeches for the congress which the
local managers believe will stir up
trouble and possibly react on the Re
publican party in the state primaries
to be held in September.
According to information obtained
here, Governor Kberhart, who Is a can
didate for re-election, nnd other Re-
publicans in Minnesota are all "het.
up" over the situation. A few weeks
ago they were tickled over having
lauded the big congress, but now they
are going around under the Impression
that they have a good, big "white ele
phant" on their hands. Colonel Roose
velt Is one of the speakers that Mr.
Pinehot has on his list.
The local St. Paul managers of the
congress have given notice that they
will not stand for an "all Insurgent"
program such as they declare has been
prepared by Pinehot. The controversy
is to be threshed out nt a conference
to be held in Chicago today. Mr. Pin
ehot has already left for Chicago, and
he will ho joined there today by B. X.
Baker, president of the congress; J. B.
White, another officer of the congress.
and Thomas It. Shlpp, secretary of the
National Conservation association, who
has taken an nctive part iu making
preparations for the St. Paul affair,
The conservaVionists will be met in
Chicago by Governor Eberhart and
other anxious Republicans from Min
nesota. The issue is to be settled at
the Chicago conference.
If the conservation officials stand
pat on the Insurgent program the
congress will not be held In St. Paul
Minnesota Republicans' are anxious to
have the conservation congress held In
St. Paul, but they are ready to pro
test with great heat against the pre
sentation of speakers who, they be
lieve, may stir up controversies that
would In all probability bo ventilated
in the September primaries.
Among the speakers to whom excep
tion has been taken by the St. Paul
men are Louis D. Braudels, who rep
resented I B. Glavls as attorney be-'
fore the congress joint committee on
inquiry into the Ballinger-Plnchot af
fair. Brandeis is n strong partisan of
Mr. Pinehot. The St. Paul authorities
fear that if he speaks at St. Paul ho
would Inject a lot of verbal fireworks
into the discussion that might provoke
trouble. Another speaker to whom
exception has been taken Is Editor
Nelson of the Kansas City Star.
Messrs. Brandeis nnd Nelson are car
rying a lot of anti-Tnft sentiment on
their chests, aud the St. Paul board of
managers are apprehensive that they
plan to unload it at St. Paul.
St. Paul made an active fight to
land the conservation congress. It
won out in n contest for the honor
with Kansas City, St. Louis nnd other
cities Senator Nelson of Minnesota,
chairman of the committee of congress
that ts inquiring Into the Balllnger
Piucliot affair, was opposed to St.
Paul entering the list.

a pick and 20 or 25 blows In the

of Sam Reid. Who held the pick is
a question somewhat in doubt, one
story being that It was in the hands
of Millard and another that the
pick Job was the work of Leona
Lord, the sister-in-law of Silas.
Sam Reid got away. He went
over in New York state, probably
somewhere in Sullivan county.
,From the Silas Lord home to the
state line Is less than 500 yards if
you take.a boat and row right across
the river, and Sam, his Equinunk

where he could get one in a hurry.

across the Delaware, not a very
wide stream at that point, about as
fast as a pair of oars could drive
him.
The ditch, the snme old source of
wars and rumors of wars between
the Lords of Equinunk, started the
row. Millard went out there the

commenced to dig. Leona and Sam

only disinterested witness, and old
man Lord "Slke" a good many peo
ple call him came out of the house.
He saw the cousins fighting and
somebody shouted to him.
"I'll keep away,"' said Sike, who
is CO years old. "Let the best man
win."
In the tussle between the two the
old man got a blow from the pick
and then, so goes the story, Sam
Rold grabbed a hoe that lay near
by and attacked Slke. The old man
got something like 20 or 25 nasty
cuts. He was knocked out and his
son dragged him Into the house and
sent for Dr. Frlsble. The doctor
dressed the wounds and had Sike
put to bed and kept quiet.
Sike regained consciousness after
a time and when members of his
family asked him how he felt he
simply said "Good" and lapsed Into
unconsciousness again.
The wounds start on top of his
head and go down to the base of the
brain. One large (lap of skin left
hanging was as big as a door hinge.
