I’* areoplane record . for
men aa to both time and dis

in a beautiful flight of one hour,
twelre minutes and forty seconds—
upwards of fifty miles and at a speed
averaging about tvily miles an boor, ngntty after hwwas sbot ln. the arms
by Orville Wright at Fort Myer,
^ HRi: Lieut Frank P. Lahm, of the
army signal corps, as a passenger.
~ The former record waa made last
V year by his brother, Wilbur, Joint
Inventor, with him of the mAhine
in which both achievements were
performed at LeMans, France, with
Prof. Painleve, of the French In
stitute, as passenger. That flight
was one hour, nine minutes and
thirty-one seconds. Wilbur was
an eager spectator of the flight by
his brother.
The cheering which heralded tho
a new mark in the con
quest of the alr was*led by'President
Taft In person, who had sat an in
tensely Interested spectator through
out the flight, and who Insisted
at its conclusion upon personally
congratulating the brothers upon
their success.
This success was ail-important U
the Wrights, In that It completed
- the fliMt of two crucial tos s of 'hi-!’
machine imposed upon them by ’.he
United States Government—the ■>
called “endurance tea*, ’ wh’cn io-
quired them to remain one hour con-
tlnuonly In the air with one passeng
er. Orville did nearly thirteen min
utes better thaif that, and could have
kept on indefinitely—three hours
and a half, the limit Imposed by the
gasoline capacity of the supply tank.
—— Poignancy was added to Monday's
achievement of Orville Wright by
the realisation by everybody pres
ent that upon his last attempt to
navigate the air with a passenger,
. that passenger, Lieut. Selfridge, was
killed and Ke hi®Self terribly in
jured. His devoted sister. Miss
Katherine Wright, who nursed him
through the period of hii recovery
from that disaster anxiously watched
him Monday from the doorway of the
Shed where the aeroplane is kept,
and when he returned unhurt from
his flight, gripped him eagerly by
the arm. nestled her face against
his breast and said:
“Bully for* you, brother, It was

The fiend who attempted the as-

Tueaday afternoon. The shooting
was the tragic ending of tt lawsuit
brought by Willis against his di
vorced wife, who had subsequently
married Ellis, for the possession of
his child. Willis died almost in-
of his mother, who was waiting
across the room, and rushed towards
him aa he fell in the hallway» out
side of the court room.
WHIIs secured his divorce a num
ber of years ago, and recently start
ed the litigation for the possession
j)t the child. Monday he secured
an order from Circuit Judge Fulk
to take possession of the child, who
has been for the past ten days in
the custody of an uncle at Pine Bluff
and Tuesday the parties to the suit
met In the court room to decide
where the child was to lie delivered.
Ellis appeared for$ts wife, the for

Ellis pulled a revolver from hie

It is a question whether this word
of praise was not more'to him man

the other end of the great parade
grounds, took him warmly by the
hand, and with the other grasping
that of bis brother, Wilbur, said:
"I congratulate you heartily, sir.
It was a great exhibition. You beat
the world’s record.”
“Yea, sir," replied prvllle, evl-
dehtly embarrassed. “I beat my
brother's record."
The President and everybody In
the crowd about joined in the laugh
ter at this sally.
“How did your passenger conduct
himself? Did he talk to the motor-
nian?" asked the President.
“He behaved very well,” replied
the aviator.
“Well, I congratulate both of you,
and I thank you for the privilege
of witnessing such a flight," added
the President, and again shaking
hands with the brothers, he entered
his automobile and rode away, amid
cheers.
“I was nervous at first,” said Or

grand Jury retired to their room to
Investigate whether or not a prima

The. Man Committed Suicide in the
Police Station.
In a state bordering on Insanity,
said to have been brought on by
drink and the fact that bis wife had
refused to live with him, Robert M.
Fanning, aged 28 years, went to the
police station at New Bedford, Mass.,
from bis home at W r eat Port early
Monday morning, and after produc
ing a letter In which he had written
of having murdered his wife, shot
himself in the head, causing Instant
death.
Following directions given In his
letter, the officers went to West Port,
and at a spot Indicated, about a half
mile from her home, found the body
of Mrs. Fanning, who apparently had
been killed with a hatchet.
Fanning arrived at the police sta
tion in his automobile. He was In
such a condltloh that It was with dif
ficulty he could make hmself under
stood. He produced a letter from
his pocket, and, after making several
futile attempts to read it, half hand
ed it to an officer.
Aft$r the officer had read the let
ter he asked:
bout It?”
"Just this,” was the reply, and
Fanlng with a quick motion, produc
ed a big revolver, placed the muzzle

Instantly.
ry was drawn for the regular trial.
Jenkins did not have counsel for hu
defense and the court assigned
Messrs. Walter Hazard and M. W.
Pyatt for the defense, while Solici
tor Wells and James Wingate rep
resented the State.
The testimony began about 11
o’clock. The prosecutrix was th-'
first to be sworn. At the request
©f the solicitor and under the act
of the last legislature, so providing,
every one was requested by thejudgo
to leave the court room, excepting
the near relatives of the proaecu
trlx, the attorneys and other neces
sary officials during the testimony
of the young lady.
The prosecutrix while on th>
stand, embarrassed and In a falter
Ing tone, told the story clearly and
distinctly, positively Identifying thit
accused who stood before her. Har
startling story brought tears to the
eyes of many who were preeent and
as she left the court room, passing
the prisoner In the box, she said:
“I hope I will never see that brute
alive again.”
Several other witnesses testified,
among whom were Deputy Sheriff
Ward. F. L. Slau, Jr., and several
colored witnesses.
At the conclusion of ths testimo
ny the Judge charged the Jury, aa
neither side cared to make a speech.
The Judge’s charge was short, clear
and Instructive.
The Jury retired about 2:15
o’clock and returned in less than
three minutes with a verdict of guil
ty with an assault with criminal In
tent, as charged In the* Indictment,
for which, under the new act of the
legislature, the only punishment that
may be Inflicted was death.
At 2:25 p. m. Judge Wilson
solemnly pronounced the sentence
of the court which was to the- ef
fect that John Jenkins, alias "Slip
pery Joint,’” must pay the penalty
for his crime on the gallowi on
August 13, next.
Jenkins appears to be about 17
years of age, perfectly Illiterate and
of a very stolid nature. While the
sentence of death was being pro
nounced upon him he smiled almost
incessantly and seemed, to havi
thought that It was smart to be the
centre of attraction of so large a
,crowd, which almost bulged the
walls of the court house.
Jenkins was quietly carried back
to the jail house and during the
whole trial there was perfect order.
Judge Wilson highly commended the
people for their action in the mat
ter, their ‘orderly oonduot, and
while It was a case of a nature to
excite the highest anger, the law
was allowed to take its full course
and everything will continue orderly
until the execution Is consumated.

whlp exhibited, and he heard the
witness swear that she had seen him
wield it on the bare flesh of young
girls.
The .wltnesv Mrs. SuskiT'Merrill,
a buxom, pink-cheeked woman of
about thirty-five years, opened a new
chaper In the life of Stanford
White’s slayer. She told of alleged
acts of his between 1902 and,,1905,
when he was a young bachelor about
New York, before the tragedy on the
resulted In his being placed In the
State Asylum for the Criminal In
.sane, from which he Is now trying
to escape by proving himself sane.
Summarized, her testimony was
that during the three years named,
she kept In succession two New
York lodging houses, where Thaw
rented rooms under assumed names,
and to which he brought at various
times more than two hundred girls.
After Thaw’s Imprisonment, she said,
she paid these women at least $25,-
000 as th© price of their silence,
and to “keep them from bothering
Thaw’s wife or mother.”
Tho woman told of finding Thaw
on several nccasslons la&hlng the
girls on their bare Arms and bodies.
Thatw, she said, had posed as a
theatrical agent and had lured the
girls to his rooms with promises, of
engagements. She testified further

In a violent manner In her pres
ence, and that she considered his
acts Irrational.

B* siege a New York •’hurcli hy Day
and Night.
It Is reported that one of the most
remarkable religious demonstrations
ever witnessed In this country has
been brought -to a close in th« Ro
man Catholic Church of St. Jean
Baptiste, in East Seventy-sixth
street, New York, wherein a little
sllter case are treasured two small
bones that are believed to be from
the wrist ©f St. Anne, mother of
the Virgin Mary.
On the first of the nine days of the
Novena, remarkable cures were re
ported, among them being a woman
who is said to have regained her
sight. This and many reports of
similar miracles caused the little
church to be besieged day and night
by the lame and the halt and many
pitiful scenes were witnessed.
JJelleveing parents sent to the
Ahrlne children who had been 111
from birth, others brought men and
women so crippled that they could
not walk and scores of the blind
were led to the altar rail to kiss
the little sHver ease and frequently
utter their prayers to St. Anne •for
deliverance from the physical woes.
The rush of supplicants became so
great that special details of police
men formed the crowds Into lines
and were always present at the
churches to preserve order. Many
persons seeking to be" cured come
from distant cities, and hundreds
came from adjacent localities.

w
During a riot over unpopular de
cisions by Umpire C. E. Eldridge of
the Southern Michigan league, at
the concluson of the Jackson-Adrlan
game at Jackson, Mich., Monday,
nearly a score of people were Injured
when the railing of the grandstand
gave way, precipitating them to the
ground, 12 feet below.
The Jackson team lost the game.
At the conclusion some one made a
start for the umpire. The crowd In
the grandstand flocked to the front
of the structure and pressed against
the railing, which gave way. preci
pitating the people nearest it to the
ground below. The umpire made his
escape, pursued by the mob. and
was chased into his room at the ho
tel, two miles away, where he was
guarded by the police for two hours.
Fenner Kills Himself.
Mr. Solomon Hall, a farmer whose

day about 11 o’clock in the yard at
his hoiqe by shooting himself In the

Georgia Legislator Oanounces
Preacher oh the
FLOOR OF THE HOUSE
Representative Anderson, of Savan
nah, Who is Fighting the Near*
AgaeiiL JMBi
---fereoghton, of Atlanta,. a .Wllfal,
Malicious, Vicious Liar.
Some of^ the Georgia legislators
who are noV In session in Atlanta
got hot on Tuesday and said some
very naughty things. The trouble
began when Andenaon, of Savannah,
who Is fighting the near-beer bill,
arose to a question of personal priv
ilege. He was white-Taced, tremb
ling, and had to moisten hls^lips
-times -before he found his
voice.
“I notice,” he began, “that a lo
cal minister named the Rev. Len G.
Broughton, Is quoted In the press as
having said In a sermon that I was
fighting the near-beer bill because J
had bought stock In a Savannah
brewery after the prohlbltloft bill
was passed, and that I was the only
man in the State who had made
money out of prohibition In Georgia.
I desire to say that this preacher is
a wilful, malicious, reckless, malig
nant and vicious liar. I fully ex
pected to be assailed and vtllifled
when I obeyed my constituents’ will
and opposed the Alexander bill.
But I never even dreamed that a
minister of the Gosped. a follower
of Him who preached charity and
taught truth, would stoop to become
a slanderer and a common liar.
“In the first place, no Savannah
brewery, nor stock In one has been
sold since prohibition went Into ef
fect. Hence, this Is another He of
the reverend hypocrite. About fif
teen years ago I bought ten shares
In a Savannah brewery, and paid
$100 a share. I was out of the
State when the prohibition bill
passed, and when 1 returned and
tried to sell my stock. I could not.
It is now worth about $50 or $60
a share, hut cannot be sold.
“This Alexander bill Is a new pro
hibition bill, and we already have
the strongest prohibition bill ever
drafted. If It be not enforced, then
It Is because the officers are negli
gent and the people do not want it
enforced. I have never placed as
much as a straw in the way of Us
enforcement. But you know you
cannot enforce an unpopular law:“
Anderson sat down In a breathless
silence, and little Representative J.
A. Slade, slight, dignified and minis
terial looking, arose. Slade Is from
Muskogee county, and Is a Baptist
minister, the same denomination
which Broughton serves. Every one
expected a bitter retort to Ander
son's outburst. What was the as
tonishment of all, then, when Slade
went further than Andirson In de-
-UUUil£lng,Jiifl_feljow clergyman.
“I was astonished and Insulted, ,r
he said, “to hear the slander heaped
upon a worthy member of this Leg
islature by a man who professes to
he a minister of the Gospel. I am
a Mifsionary Baptist preacher. I
believe in and practice temperance,
but do not believe in prohibition. In
the name of all good Baptist, how
ever, I want to resent this attack
upon Mr. Anderson by a long-haired,
loud mouthed, itinerant - preacher,
who has done more harm to the tem
perance cause than all the brewers
and dlstilllers In th e world. And the
really honest temperance advocates
should realize that unless they curb
these freak extremists, they will see
the pendulum swing to the other
extreme.”
Speaker Holden did not let any
one else get the floor, declining to
recognize several excitable members,
and calmly forcing a resumption of
the consideration of the tax bill.
Broughton's Rejoinder.
Dr. Broughton gav e out the fol
lowing statement In regard to th*»
scathing denunciation he received at
the hands of Representative Ander
son :
“I am glad, at least, if I have
done nothing else than force Mr.
Anderson to acknowledge in the
House of Representatives, where he
is posing as the champion against
legislation for the prevention of the
near-beer evil, that he is a stock
holder In a brewery, one, at least,
in Savannah, that Is manufacturing
more near-beer . than any other In
the State.
“It Is Immaterial, so far as tho
point I made against his right to
sit In judement upon such legisla
tion, whether he has recently bought
stock or not. It Is a Tact that he
owns the stock and that lines up
with the whiskey Interests.”

“Senator Tillman has not fully re

paralysis, which seized him last sum
mer. He tried to cure this by an
extended tour of several months in
Europe. The health resorts of the
Continent helped him greatly, and he
returned to. the United States much
stronger than he was when he left.
While the paralysis has not returned,
a general disability from nervous
ness has made his life unhappy In the

known as one of the most quiet and
