WRIGHTS' FEAT APPLAUDED
PARIS PAPERS ARE EXTRAVA
GANT IX PRAISE.
Predict Brothers Will I'ndoubtedly
Receive $100,000 Prize In Car
rying Out Flight Contract.
PARIS, Aug. 1". The press unites in
praise of Wilbur Wright's performance
with his aeroplane Saturday at Lemans
and Unhesitatingly express the opinion
that It Is undoubtedly proved that the
Wright Brothers are the leaders in aerial
navigation. . - . - .
The average opinion is perhaps best
! summed up by the Figaro, which declared
that It was not a success but a triumph,
adding: "This decisive victory creates a
revolution U the scientific world."
M. Bleriot, the monoplanlst, frankly
admits that the HVrlghts' machine is far
superior to anything yet invented.
Mr. Wright told the Associated Press to
day that he was even embarrassed yester
day by an absence of wind. On this point,
M. Bleriot said:
"Mr. Wright's aeroplane will fly in the
wind at the beck and will ' of the
operatcr."
The journals predict that the "Wright
Brothers undoubtedly wili fulfill the con
tract by which they will receive $100,000 If
they effect two flights of 50 kilometers by
a machine carrying two persons.
Hart O. Berg, of Philadelphia, manager
of the Wrights, says it is possible that
Mr. Wright Instead of doing 50 kilometres
by flying around and around a racetrack,
will soar high over the City of Lemans
for a distance of 15 kilometres and re
turn to the track. Mr. Berg also says
that the Wrights have devised an ar
rangement of wheels which fold up during
flight, the same as birds' feet which will
obviate the necessity of the use of rails
for starting the aeroplanes.

GRAND DIKES BEING RETIRED
GRADUALLY.
Czar Calls Upon Nicholalevitch to
qlve Up Ills Post on National
Defense Council.
ST. FETKKSBT'RG. Aug. 10. Emperor
Nicholas yesterday issued a rescript
thanknig Grand Duke Nicholas Xicholale
vltch fr his fruitful activity as presi
dent of the council for national defense
and relieving him of that post In view of
the forthcoming revision of the regula
tions regarding the council and the re
organization of the war office.
' The retirement of Grand Duke Nicholas
follows close upon the criticism of the
Grand Duke's intrusion into affairs of
state, made In the Puma by M. Guehkoff.
June 9. in connection with the discussion
of the war department budget. The
speaker attacked with special vehemence
Grand Duke Xicholas. The retirement of
the Grand Duke speaks volumes for the
influence rhe Duma has acquired over the
settlement of the highest affairs of state.
Grand Duke Serge Xicholnievitch, inspector-general
of artillery, also mention
ed in the speech of M. Guehkoff, has
hanoW in his resignation, but thus far
It has not been accepted. It is expected
that the withdrawal of the remaining
Grand Dukes enumerated in the M.
Guchkoff's speech Peter Nicholalevltch,
Inspector of engineers, and Constantino
Constantinovitch, head of the department
of military schools, will be effected
gradually in order not to attract exces
sive attention.
The plan of reforms in the war office
will bring the army under more direct
control of the cabinet ministry.
MOLOKA! LOCAL STATION.
Lepers From Mainland May Not Be
-Sent There.
WASHIXGTOX. Aug. 10. Though vir
tually part of the United States, the leper
colony, on isolated Molokal, cannot re
cruit its death-marked population from
this country. It is this fact that makes
it Impossible for Government officials to
comply with the request of the territorial
authorities of. Arizona for the speedy re
moval of aged Mrs. General Warwell.
whom the terrible disease has claimed for
its victim.
According to Dr. H. G. Geddlngs, as
sistant surgeon-general of the Public
Health and Marine Hospitak service, the
leper settlement at Molokal is strictly a
territorial enterprise. There exists neither
law nor precedent to warrant the re
moval of a Uper from an state or terri
tory, however, to the settlement, and
Dr. Geddlngs voices the opinion of the
bureau that the Hawaiian health author
ities would not approve such a move.

ficers in the crack Eleventh Cavalry, ho
answered single because he thought the
girl he married in 1906. In Tennessee, had

VIRGINIA CASE ADVANCED
Supreme Court Will Give Rate Suit
Early Hearing.
WASHIXGTOX, Aug. 10 Among the
important cases which will receive the
early attention of the Supreme Court of
the United States -when it re-convenes
next October will be the one dealing with
the 2-cent passenger rate on the railroads
of Virginia. The case involves not only
the validity of the rate itself, but the
legality of the method imposing It. The
rate was fixed by the corporation com
mission of Virginia and the railroads
contend that such a delegation of power
transcended the authority of the Legisla
ture. On the other hand, the state de
fends the action of the commission as ju
dicial and claims that Judge Pritchard,
who enjoined the enforcement of the com
mission, had no rights as a Federal Judge
to review the action of the state tribunal.
The Supreme Court will be compelled to
deal witli this point preliminary to taking
up the case Itself, as it challenges the
jurisdiction of Judge Pritchard's court,
and If it should be held that the commis
sion's function ls'judlctal rather than ad
ministrative, it would be necessary to dis
miss the case. If, on the other hand, it
is found that it was competent for the
Federal court to deal with the question,
as is believed it will he. the Supreme
Court will then enter upon the merits of
the case and will undertake to say wheth
er the ii-cent rate is confiscatory and
therefore unconstitutional, as is claimed
by the roads. Both the state and the rail
roads have asked or an early hearing of
the. case. '
