SELF SCRIFICE Rich Banker Suffered Death to Shied Daughter. -1 LYNCHING INTIMATE Banker Slain by Physiaa With Whom Banker's Wife is Alleged to Bave Been Intimate for Many Yer--Tbe Slayer and the Bank er's Wife in Jail. Idolization of his daughter. Golda. 17 years old. is said to have caused J. B. Sayler. ';ice president of the First National Bank. of Crescent City. Il. to suffer in silence the do mestic tragedy that led to his death Sunday night at the hands of Dr. W. R. M?iler. who for many months had paid ardent attenion to the banker's wife. mother of Golda Say ler. According to W. R. Nightengale. cashier of the bank of which Mr. Sayler was vice president. the devot ed father determined to sufter 1z silence rather than take any arstion which would involve his child In notoriety. 'He seemed to fear some tra;ic solution of the situation." said Mr. Nightengale. *When he left the city during the last year cr so it was his habit to seek privacy. after which he would reappear with a bulky en velope containing papers. "'Should anything happen to me. he always told me. 'open this packag' and follow to the letter the instruc tions contained therein.' --After each trip but the last hc destroyed the papers upon his return He was away a little while ago. but when be came back he failed to fol low this practice. "That packet. I believe. is locked in his private box in the bank' vault. Whether it will shed any thing on the tragedy which ende'. his life I cannot say. The coronet has the key and will open the bo> later, possibly after the funeral.' That Dr. Miller stood in real dan ger of lynching Monday night is as serted by Mr. Nightengale and man3 others. More than a hundred met thronged the streets of the ustialn quiet village trying to organise an attack on the jail. One man with a rope was forcibly taken to his home by cooler persons. whose counse finally prevailed. Among the latte2 was Willis Sayler. a brother of the slain man. Dr. Miller's defence is that he shoi only when attacked by the tanket with a hatchet. Evidence casting a shadow on this statement was giveT at the inquest. Sayler was slain about 10 o'clocl Sunday night. Mrs. Miller. wife 0: the doctor, had le~ft a few days pre viously to visit her parents at Shar on. Pa.. and Dr. Miller was taking his meals at the Sayler table and sleeping at his own home. There were also at the Sayler home at the time of the shooting. John C. Grun den, father of Mrs. Sayler. and Ira Grunden. her broeher. The oldei Grunden came recently from Ard more, Okla.. to become an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Dan'iile Golda Sayler was sent away by her mother a few days ago. Sunday evening John Gruader. went to ask Mr. Sayle?. who was oc cupying a rocking chair on the lawn to come in and play cards, they twC against Dr. Miller and Mrs. Sayler His refusal. Mr. Sayler states. wa. due to his belief that she and th' doctor attained success at the game by a system of signals. Grace Davis and other girls and Godfrey Ruhle stopped to chat for a moment with Mr. Sayler at the tront gate just a few minutes befor' he was slain. He was In a good hu mor. They had left Sayler abon* three minutes when they heard the fatal shots. Three bullets were found in the banker's body and in the wall. A fifth bullet was found embodied in an outside wall, whereas the slaying occurred in the house, and a Zftb empty shell tallying with the othere' found in the house was found on the lawn. This fact Is connected by the State's attorney with a wound In Dr. Miller's right wrist. The doctor's explanation of his' damaged wrist is that he was shot by his own pistol during a struggle with' Mr. Sayler. The discovery of a fifth empty shell, however. has opened up a line of inquiry to whlch the State attaches much importance. After the shoting of Sayler. Dr. XIn ler was alone with the body for a time while the others went for as sistance. When they returned he was on the porch complaining of his wounded wrist. The struggle in the house was wit nessed by John Grunden. He de cdared that Sayler brought a hatchet into the house with him. Mrs. Say 1er says her husband came in un armed and took the hatchet from under a couch. Edward Blantln. a laborer: Dietrlch H. Myer, a retired merchant, and Edward E. Meyer. president of the village of Crescent City, assert that they' examined the room thoroughly right after the shooting, but saw 'no hatchet.

WPIGHT MAKEA ANOTHEft StCESFt'I. FLIGHT. sbort Flightq WiRi be Made Until Macebinery iot in Good Working Order. Orville Wright Monday evening made a very successful fight in the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer. Va.. near Washington. re-maining in tht air five minutes and thirty becondr. during which tim.- the machine at tained the exceptional speed of fort. miles an hour and circled the parade grounds half a dozen times. a total distance of about three and a half miles. A strong breeze prevented the Wright brothers from starting the aeroplane immediate.y fter it was brought from the shed. While wait ing for favorable conditions. they ezamilned the machine carefully and chatted with prominent persons who had gone over from Washin;ton to witness the trial. With Count von Vernstorff. (er man ambassador. the Wrights talked at length explaining the working of the machine. Mrs. Nicholas Long worth. daughter of Ex-Pr.-sident Roosevelt. enthuslastically examin-d the aeroplane. as did Secretary of the Navy Meyer. When the signal finally was given to start. the machine shot forward and mounted gracefully into the light breeze. Orville Wright guided the flyer to the lower end of the large parade ground and circled around toward the starting point. gradually rising higher from the ground. Six times he rounded the course. the machine attaining an average speed of about forty miles an hour. according to Mr. Wright. After passing the crowd the sixth time the aviator decided to make a landing because the motor occasion ally was missing a spark. He de scended early and lighted with no apparent jar. the machine sliding smoothly over the ground. until it came to a stop at a point near the shed. Both of the Wrights expressed themselves as pleased with the per formance. They intend to make only short lights until the new bearings have become worn down and the pro pellIng motor is working perfectly. When these things have adjusted themselves to the satisfaction of the aviators they intend to attack their main task. to which these ninor tights are prelImnary-that of satisfying the conditions prescribed by the Government for the official test.

Think of calmly standilr on the seashore and by means of a small key and no connecting wires being able to annihilate an entire navy. This has been rendered possible by the inaveation of a submerged tor pedo propelled and controlled by wireless electricity transmitted by the wireless method--the work of Carl Abrahamson of San Diego. Cal. The Invention is so simple that ireless experts are wonde:-ing how they overlooked it so long. The pro pellIng force Is manipulated on the same principle as the wireless tele graph. Electricity is transmitte.d from aerial wires orn shore- to aerials supported by cork floats and connect ed with the propeliler wheel of the :opedo. ahich is submerged. A current powerful enough to s.end a 'xteen-foot torpedo, of the type used y the American navy. t hroutgh the eater at a speed of thirty-two miles in hour can be transmitted, says the nven tor. Control of the device is s.-cur".d y magnets set on each side of the. ropelier and connected with the ~teeing gear. These magnets are of liferent degrees of s.-nsitlveness and re susceptIble to varyilng degrees of wer In electric currents.

Lemme me ky'ah y'r umbrella fer you."
