PARSONS, FOE OF UNCLE JOE CANNON ' Congressman Who Talks of Deal Is a Good Fighter. COLLEGE MAN IN POLITICS. Term Fitly Characterizes New Yorker Who Has Proved That Education and Wealth Count For as Much, Some limes, as Practical Experience. Herbert Parsons, the mau who has kicked up a national political scandal by charging a deal between the Can non machine in Washington and the, CTammany .machine ia New STork, is a type of the co.llege man in politics. A brief description of Parsons would bring out these points: He is chair man of the Republican committee: of .' Hew York county, a place he has held ' for several years; a member of con--gress, an intimate friend and lieuten- "j ant of Theodore Itoosevelt, twice ' forced the nomination of Governor Hughes, brought about the nomination of Otto T.

W1T1S Charge Made by Parsons. The specific charge made by Mr. ' Parsons, which is causing trouble not only in New York city, but in the Em ipir.e jState anid jd the nation, is as fol Jows: .'We know that Tammany Hall is j planning frauds. In the last session ! of the legislature we sousrbt legisla tion to perfect the signature and other registration1 laws. It was defeated through a combination of Tammany rroen srith some" up state -Republicans.

Jio Information of the deal was giveu o New York city Republicans, either In Albany or Washington." Vehement denials were entered to ihe charges by Speaker Cannon, State Senator John Raines, Congressman Malby and others said to be involved. in reply Parsons reiterated his state- . orients, said he knew them to be true ' and further charged that, although Raines is the Republican leader of the ! senate at Albany, his son had been -ijiven a lucrative Tammany position at the time of the transaction. As to -Cannon, Mr. Parsons said he bad noth ing further to say now, placing empha-' Is on the "now." ".- , Helped by Tammany Men. At the time the Tammany congress man rushed to the support of the Can ioa rules and saved them from "the .Republican revolt ugly rumors were Sheaxd In Washington .charging some tSUCb a deal as that now definitely put forward by the chairman of the New fork .county committee. Congressman Ueimet. another Roosevelt supporter :find official manager of Bannard's cam paign, says, "I am glad that Mr. Par sons has made this statement." Other like support assures that the matter -.will not only be an Issue in the city campaign, but In the next Republican state convention and. In the coming session, of congress, .-','-"' '''':7Wr-; . Parsons is not only a fighter, but a -resourceful political leader, as he has ehown In a score of previous contests. One of the most spectacular"bf these -was that In which he whipped er Governor Odell to a standstill In an all night session of the New York county committee. : - . i J Played While Pal Escaped.

Some Might Find It Cold, Tame Work, Says Harry Whitney. : Speaking of his hunting experiences in and near the arctic circle, Harry Whitney, the sportsman to whom Dr. Cook intrusted his instruments and some of his records, said: "I may go again in the summer, but never again in the winter. I had enough of that game this trip.. The long, arctic winter is terrible. Why, for 100 days" it is pitch dark. There is the pale arctic moon, of course, but the depression of the long night is something to be remembered, I can tell you. - . ;'. '" ' 'As a game country it is wonderful. It was the best shooting I ever en joyed. 1 did most of my shooting with a 30-40 repeater. ' The Eskimos laugh ed when they saw the caliber of this rifle, thinking it not large enough for bear or walrus. They use forty-fives. The bigger the better they like them. They were amazed" when" they ' saw how I coukUstop the came with tho .little bullet of t lie 30-40. I took a 35 caliber north with me, but 1 did not use jt so much as my other gun. I gave the 35 to an Eskimo.' "During the long night I had great sport with, a little automatic 22 caliber rifle. I shot arctic hares, ducks and all' kinds of small game with it, and the cold didn't affect the automatic cartridges in fhe least, and it was some cold at that I went north mainly to hunt , musk oxen, but also had good luck with other kinds of arctic game, the polar bear, the seal, the walrus, white bear and whale.. As far as bunt ing went I was very successful, but to some sportsmen shooting this game might seem cold, tame work. Of these specimens of game the only exciting or dangerous to hunt are the ' bear and the walrus." ' TWO VICTORIES FOR AMERICA. Both Aviation and Aeronautic Contests Will Be Held Here Next Year.

FLINT THEIR MONEYED MAN. Leader In Rubber and South American Trades Wiil Operate Factories Abroad, While Inventors Look After American End of the Business. - -"Flying Machines to Hire" will be a familiar sign in American and Euro pean cities if the present plans of the proposed "aeroplane trust" are carried out.' "An international flying machine trust for. the manufacture and sale of the Wright aeroplane has practically been formed, and the time is not far distant when citizens of the big cities will be able to engage flying machines much as they now hire taxicabs. At the head of this latest thing in the line-tjf trusts is Charles R. Flint, formerly head of the so called "rubber trust", and-head of ' Flint & Co.,-: South American .merchants .and importers. :' ; Mr. Flint has "established"' factories in St. Petersburg, Berlin and Paris for .making and .- marketing the. Wright ' CBABLES S. FLINT. flying machine. He will, incorporate a company in America and erect a big plant n this country, " ' . ; Wrights Here, Flint Abroad. - The Wrights probably will hold a controlling interest In the American concern but., .the . Flint . interests will be. supreme in those abroad. As soon as a 11. the proposed companies nave been organized it is likely that stock is to be offered, tp the public, and, it may be, an effort will be 'made to- list the . securities- on the exchanges -here and In Europe. ,77 . " ' , - ; ' ' With basic patents in this country, Europe. Australia and South America, covering .everything believed conceiv able in connection, with the making of an aeroplane, the Wrights and Mr, Flint believe they have a monopoly; of the business. They have instituted ac tion for infringement against Bleriot. the transchannel flier; against Curtiss, the 'American aeroplanist, and - all others "using anything resembling their: form of machine. "-'-'.-; - 7 "Hereafter," said Wilbur: Wright, "we shall, devote all our efforts to the commercial exploitation. ; of our ma chines and fly only as a matter of ex periment to test the value of whatever changes we decide tomake In the con struction of the aeroplanes. Companies In Several Countries. F. R. Cordley, a member of Flint & Co., said that separate companies -for the ; manufacture 7. and safe of . the Wright machines 'have been organized in Paris and Berlin, and similar com panies will be , established Jn Russia, and Italy. . . " , C ; The Wright brothers, besides holding stock in all of the foreign companies," have received cash payments for the rights to' manufacture their machines and will also receive royalties on tho number of machines turned out. . "We have no interest in the Wright flying machine business in the United States or Great Britain," said Mr. Cordley. "The Wright brothers. I un derstand, control the rights themselves In these countries." : ' :'' MARJORIE GOULD'S SUITORS. Russian Grand Duke and Austrian No - bleman Reported After Her Hand. George J.

Strauss told of his ef forts to discover a remedy for the dis ease, which became epidemic in Brownsville. Brooklyn last August killincr scores of ohildrpn In the ennrxp nf Ma iutn. -n- I - " i..IUIC . i-J 1 . Strauss announced that he had succeed ed in infecting a monkey with the dis ease by inoculating it with a particle of the diseased spinal cord xf an in fant. Ian experiment accomplished only once before in the history of medicine. That was in December of last year by a physician in Europe. The immediate result of transferring the disease to a- monkey was fo obtain the means. for further, experiments in the laboratory. . A long step, said the lecturer, was thus made toward finding a remedy, because for the first time in this country the experimenter had the1 disease where he could study it at his leisure. While Dr. Strauss frankly admitted that he had not found anvthiner like a cure for the malady, he said that some thing had already been learned through - tne experimentation.:, For one thing, he had learned" that the disease could not be transferred, or, rather, so far ' . had not been' transferred from one monkey to another. - I Another thing discovered was that it was now definitely known that the mal- aay wnicn causes tne paralysis of the '. child's le&s did not have its seat In , the blood, but In the spinal column it- seir. . v. -The state board of health of Kansas decided to buy monkeys to experiment upon In the hope of discovering a rem edy for infantile paralysis, which Is be coming alarming in the state. NO AIR LINE ir SIGHT. Present Aeroplanes Not Intended to 7 Carry Passengers, Says Curtiss. Air craft for commercial usages are not a possibility of the near future, ac cording to Glenn H. Curtiss, the fa mous aeroplanist. 7 , "The airship in its various designs is- for the present a 'machine Intended. solely for sport," he said. "Any ma chine strong and powerful' enough to carry passengers in any numbers or freight will not fly.. v : "No one has yet been able to solve the problem of counteracting the ef fects of air currents. Frequently a machine Witt behave grandly against a high wind, then again it won't. Ev ery aviator takes a chance- and -hopes for the best every time he makes an ascension. " . ... "it will require years and years to perfect the airship. 1 won't live to see it. It new looks as if some revolution- ary change in construction 'will have to fee made before air craft are to be come a commercial means of transpor tation. , : . -- ,ln their present state pf perfection airships are splendid sporting ma chines. The element ' of danger ap-: peals to every red blooded man. .' As an aid In warfare the airship has al ready arrived.

This, however, Is the extent of the practicability of tir craft for the present" LONG LIST OF MAN-BIRDS. Flying Not Confined to Four or Five, as ' Is Generally Supposed, There appears to be an impression that four or five men are doing all the flying and that they owe their success more to their own cleverness and ac-' robatic proclivities than to the quali-, ties and good behavior of their ma chines.

To transmit advertisements by wire less is rather a new wrinkle and seems just a little in advance of up-to-dateness, even for the automobile busi ness. This was a feat recently per formed by the advertising manager for ope of the big automobile companies in New Orleans. -. ; - '-fr The "advertising man was trying to steal a few days away from business,, and -part of the plan was a trip by steamship from New Orleans to New York.- On the second day out. when in the middle of the gulf of Mexico, it occurred to the publicity man that he had forgotten to prepare copy for a full page advertisement he had or dered inserted in a large list of papers.
