THE MORNING- OREGOXIAX, WEDXESDAT, JUNE 30, 1909. WRIGHT AEROPLANE LIKE BALKY HORSE Orville Fails to Make Huge Ma chine Go Through Its Paces as It Should. DECLARES ENGINE IS WEAK Wilbur Wright Bosses Job and "Joshes" Brother About Failure. Machine to Be Put Through. Next Test Wednesday. "WASHINGTON. June 29. Orville "Wright made three fnrh. i "Wright's new aeroplane at Fort Myer loaay. just after starting the machine swooped and barely touched the ground, but without damage. The flight was short, the aeroplane encircling the Fort aerodome. Lack of power, due to a loose spark control, was finally determined upon by the two Wrights as the cause of the re fusal of the machine to fly more than a few hundred feet beyond the end of the starting rail. Machine Uke Horse. "A flying machine is like a horse," eald Wilbur Wright. "If it Is'new. you musi get used to it before it will go Just as you want It to. You have to H-arn Us peculiarities. I am glad we learned what the trouble is. and after a few more trials you will see some fun." Shortly after 6 o'clock everything was made ready. Wilbur Wright and Taylor started the engine. Orville took the operators seat and released the weight that gives momentum to the aeroplane. The machine rose but a few feet as It left the rail. The tip of the riKht wing struck the earth at its tip. The machine was swung completely round so that it faced the starting apparatus, and Orville stopped the ma chine After the damage, which was trivial, had been repaired, the machine was re turned to tiie starting rail for another trial. It had traveled about 200 feet. Lack of Power. "I did not have enough power turned on. explained Orville. "Besides the wind is coming from behind me. If the wind had been coming towards me I would have got up." he said. At 6:0 o'clock the first mishap was repeated, with the exception that this time the left wing scraped the ground. 1 he wings showed remarkable strength, and wnr ) 1 ... - - ""-"vcii on euner occa sion. The machine was again returned for a third trial, and the crowd, see ing that Orville was determined to ...n'l., i.uccrea lusiny. Orville stuck to ins theory that the power was not sufficient. He said the lllarmn ronlr.. i. .. ' vi niiro mnes more average speed than the old machine had needed. Orville did not appear to be the least bit nervous or concerned over Third Trial Is Made. The third attempt was even less suc cessful, the machine refusing to rise at all. At 7:45 o'clock the final trial was made, and the machine rose 15 or -0 feet Shortly after It had ascended from the ground It showed signs of losing headway, but Orville kept on around the field, remaining In the air about 50 seconds and landing almost im mediately in front of the starting track. Wilbur seemed to regard the difficul ties encountered as rather amusing, and. being Orville's "big brother," had a few criticisms to make of him. Wil bur refused to make any flights at Fort Meyer, saying that it Is his broth er r Job, but he does most of the bossing," and most of the tinkering Wednesday the Wrights will remedy the defects encountered today, and If good weather conditions obtain, will make more orellmlnarv trial. t-,, li'iey looked over the five-mile course Ira Alexandria.

When the proceedings began. Brown endeavored to obtain unanimous consent to take up the Income tax resolution, but Bailey demurred, urging that his previous amendment should be flrst considered. Aldrich said he would move to lay on the table any other amendments that might be offered at this time. The income tax question was put aside to enable Tillman to present his amend ment for a duty on tea. Democrats Prod Aldrich. While the question of tea remained technically before the Senate for a Ions time, it was impossible to keep the income-tax and corporation-tax questions entirely in the background. They were referred to more than once, and at one time so pointedly by Clay as to bring out a most interesting statement from Aldrich. who as chairman of the finance committee presented the corporation amendment. Bailey and Clay were prodding the chairman of the finance committee and appeared specially anxious to know whether he would revise the tariff schedules downward If the income-tax amendment should be adopted, to lower the revenue from customs to an extent equal to that which would be raised by the income tax. It was in response to a direct question from Clay that Aldrich spoke. Stating his position with refer ence to the corporation tax, he said, bluntly: Aldrich Declares Himself. "I shall vote for the corporation tax as a means of defeating the income tax." He added: I shall be perfectly frank in that res spect. I shall vote for it for another rea son. The income of the Government this year will show a deficit of $60,000,000. Next year there will be deficit of $45,000,000. 1 am willing that the deficit shall be taken care of by the corporation tax, but at the end of two years It should either be reduced to a nominal- amount or repealed. Aldrich said he had not favored as a permanent form of taxation "a tax which Is sure to destroy the protective system." Subterfuge, Says Bailey. Bailey declared Aldrich had announced that his attitude In favoring a corpora tion tax was a mere subterfuge. "Under the statement made by the Senator from Rhode Island," said Bailey, "those who favor an Income tax and do not Join in this subterfuge to defeat it may see clearly what they are doing." "My support of the corporation tax," replied Aldrich. "Is not a subterfuge In any sense of the word." Aldrich said he favored an income tax only for times of emergency and. quoting the Senator from Texas, declared the latter wished to use the tax as a means of destroying the protective system. "Thia proposition for a corporation tax was made by the President of the United States before the House commttte on ways and means prior to the time we considered It here," said Aldrich. "I am here as a Republican to support a Re publican Administration as far as I can consistently with my duty. I shall vote for this proposition for the purpose I have named." Bailey said he had a curiosity to know whether, when they had set their heads at work to defeat the income tax amend ment, the President made the suggestion or the Senator from Rhode Island sug gested it to tine President. Tillman Weeps for His Baby. Aldrich replied that his conversation with the President was a private one and he refused to reply to a question by Gore as to whether the President as well as Aldrich was "urging this corporation, tax as a subterfuge for an income tax"." "While you are talking about all of these things," pleaded Tillman in be half of his tea proposition, "my poor little tea "baby has been laid aside and is crying ior papa." Clay sadd he believed the Rhode Isl and Senator favored the corporation tax solely to defeat the Income tax. "Not solely," replied Aldrich. "The Imposition of an income tax now would be an atssault, or rebuke rather, to the Supremje Court of the United States. The income tax case was decided after mature, deliberation and now to sub mit again the question without change is simply flying in the face of that de cision to administer a rebuke to the court' The- Income tax was temporarily laid aside. In obedience to Tillman's plea and -was not returned to again until after the disposal of the tea amend ment, by the defeat of Tillman's amendment. Cummins Assaults Hew Tax. Caimmins declared that the income tax question had suddenly changed. His and Bailey's amendments proposed a general income tax to be paid by all, while the President recommended a special income tax laid only on corporations. He said: I believe that the special Income tax not omly contravenes the most sacred principles of our Governmental compact, not only over rides the deepest convictions that civilised man holds with respect to taxation, but it collides with the decision of the Supreme Court at the same point, and with the same force as does the greneral Income tax pro vision which we propose.

NO SUPPORT SINCE 1907 Colonel Tncker's Attorney Asks Mrs. Tucker if She Would Live With Husband Again and Gets Em phatic, Frigid Negative. CHICAGO, June 29. (Special.) Absolute divorce on fhe grounds of desertion was today granted Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Tucker, formerly Dolly Logan, daughter of General John A. Logan, from Colonel William F. Tucker, U. S. A., retired. The hearing before Judge Barnes occu pied but 10 minutes. Airs. Tucker and her mother, Mrs. Logan, being the only wit nesses heard. Colonel Tucker was re presented by counsel., but offered no de fense. He is at present in Chicago at the Union League Club. After stating that she had married Colonel Tucker on November 27, 1877, Mrs. Tucker declared that she had not lived with the Colonel since January, 1906, when he sailed for the Philippines. Support Stopped in 190 7. "Up to what time did he recognize you as his wife by supporting you?" was ask ed by Mrs. Tucker s attorney, Haynie R. Pearson. "April 17, 1907." was the reply. "Has he supported you or In any way recognized you as his wife since then?" "No." "While you lived wifh him did you per form the duties of a wife to him?" "Indeed, I did." "Is there any reasan why he should have ceased acting toward you as a hus band should act?" "There is none whatever." Mrs. Tucker Frigid. Mr. Pearson here concluded his direct examination, whereupon Attorney Leo J. Doyle for Colonel Tucker, asked this question: "Would you ever live with Colonel Tuck er again?" "I am suing for divorce," retorted Mrs. Tucker, with frigidity, and I presume a divorce would sever all relations." Judge Barnes ruled the question out. TREASURY ISSUES CALL $5,000,000 TO BE TAKEN IN FROM DEPOSITORIES. Low Working Balance in Treasury Given as Cause Move Will Help Until December. WASHINGTON, June 29. A call on National depository banks for a return to the treasury of Government funds ag gregating approximately $25,000,000, was made today by Secretary MacVeagh. Of this amount $9,000,000 has been called for July 15, and $16,000,000 for August 15. This call will practically wipe out all of the deposits of Government funds In National banks, except about $37,000,000, which is held in active account, and $10 -000,000 which will be allowed to remain in-$1000 lots in such of the one thousand smaller National banks as desire to re tain their designation as National deposi tories. The working balance today is more than $43,000,000, which will be increased by the call to approximately $68,000,000. The low state of the Government's work ing balance made Its strengthening necessary, and thus augmented, the Treasury Department will have: ample funds for some months. It is expected, however, that before the coming December, an additional issue of Panama bonds or the further issue of treasury receipts of .indebtedness will be found necessary. FORD NO. 2 KEEPS PRIZE Guggenheim Decides Against Con test Claim of Shawmut Car. SEATTLE, June 29. The protest of the Shawmut car against the award of the flrst prize in the New York to Seattle automobile race, to Ford Car No. 2 was disallowed by Robert Guggenheim, the referee, today. Mr. Guggenheim found that the evidence did not sustain any of the charges that the Pord car had viol ated the rules. So the trophy cup and $2000 go to Ford Car No. 2 and the sec ond prize of $1500 to the Shawmut car which came in second. An appeal to the contest committee of the Automobile Club of America, under whose sanction the race was run, is still possible, however. The Acme car in the New York to Seattle race reached Seattle at 2:30 this afternoon. It had continued in the con test, because, if the Ford No. 2 had been disqualified the Acme would have gained second place. MEN OF CHURCH UNITE Brotherhood Association Formed in First Presbyterian.

June 29. The Govern ment has no thought of abandoning the FAMILY CURED OF SKIN TROUBLES Two Little Girls had Eczema Very Badly In One Case Child's Hair Came Out and Left Bare Patches Father's Head Sore from Child hood In All Three Cases CUTICURA MET WITH ITS USUAL SUCCESS " I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. I did everything that I could hear of for her, but it did not give in until warm weather when it seemingly subsided. The next winter when it became cold weather the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches as large as a quarter of a dollar. At the same time her arms were sore the whole 'length of them. I took her to a phy sician and he said that she had two distinct types of eczema. I continued with him for several weeks and the child grew worse all of the time. Her sister's arms were also affected in the same way. My husband came home one day with a box of Cuticura Oint ment and a cake of Cuticura Soap. I began using them and also the Cuticura Pills and by the time the second lot was used their ekin was soft and smooth as it had not been before for the winter. We keep the Cuticura Soap and Cuti cura Ointment constantly by us and when any little roughness or irritation appears on their skin I quickly dispel it with the Cuticura Remedies. My husband has used them with most satisfactory results for a sore head which has troub led him from childhood. Mrs. Charles Baker, Albion, Me., Sept. 21, 1908." Cuticura Ointment is one of the most successful remedies for torturing, dis figuring humors of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, of infants, children and adults, ever compounded, in proof of which a single anointing with it, pre ceded by a hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed by mild doses of Cuticura Pills, is often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humors, eczemas, irritations and inflam mations, permit rest and sleep and point to a speedy cure when all else fails. .,nlc,1, Soap (250 Ointment (60c , Resolvent 50e.). and Chocolate Coated Pills (25c.). are sold threurhout the world.

ACT UNDER ANTI-TRUST LAW Government Will Not Let Sugar Trust Escape Prosecution. NEW TORK, June 29. Conflicting reports as to tue Government's attitude toward the American Sugar Refining Company became current here with the departure of United States District At torney Wise for Paris, where he is to take part in the examination of French wit nesses in the Panama Canal libel suit against the Press Publishing Company. Mr. Wise was quoted on one hand as saying that he was through with any at tempt at prosecuting the Sugar Com pany so far as Its relations with the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company were concerned, because of the statute of limitations. The general understanding Is, however, that the Government's plan to proceed with a general suit under the anti-trust law will not be interrupted. LEON HAD ACCOMPLICES NEW-. YORK DETECTIVES SEEK CHINAMAN'S AIDS. Fifty Expert Sleutha Scatter Over Towns on Jersey Meadows in Search, of Fugitive. NEW TORK, June 29. Leon Ling, the police declared tonight, had ac complices in the murder of Elsie Slgel. The police furthermore have accounted in detail for the movements of the girl's body from the time of the crime up to the moment of its discovery. Facts as to the movement of the body came out through Arthur Logan, an expressman in the employ of the Con stitution Express Company. According to Logan's story, he hauled a trunk supposed to contain the body of Elsie Slgel to a Chinese laundry conducted by Wah Kee. The trunk. It appears, was thence taken to a res taurant in Newark, N. J. The police believe the trunk could not have been moved so much and been received with out question at so many places, had not the murderer accomplices. The police cordon thrown about the comparatively narrow territory comprising- Paterson, Passaic, Hack en sack and other neighboring towns in New Jersey is tightening today around a number of Chinamen, among whom the police hope to find trace of Leon Ling. Fifty or the best detectives of In spector McCafferty's staff have been sent into this district, and the concen tration of so many of them in one spot tends to the belief that some impor tant information, so far carefully guarded from the public, is In the pos session of the police. Leon Caught in Mexico? SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. It is re ported here that Leon Ling, wanted for the Elsie Sigel murder, has been cap tured at Juarez, Mex.
