WOULD NOT AID SMUGGLER
WASHINGTON. June 3 0. The appre
ciation, good will and congratulations
of the American people were extended
today to Wilbur and Orvllie Wright,
the American aviators, by the Presi
dent. The occasion was tb presen
tation of the gold medals awarded to
the Wright brothers by the Aero Club
of America to commemorate the con
quest of the air. In the presence of
distinguished statesmen, foreign dip
lomats, members of the Cabinet, noted
scientists and prominent aeronauts
and aviators the two inventors of the
. first successful firing machine heav
ier than air received the first public
congratulation of their achievements
from their fellow countrymen.
Dawn of Age or Flight.
President Taft expressed keen ad
miration for their work and ven
tured the belief that their machine
would be the basis for the future
eerlal craft and prophesied the dawn
' of the age of aerial flights was here.
The Wrights were Introduced to the
President by Robert Parsons, of New
York, who paid a glowing tribute to
their personal qualifications. A. Hol
land Forbes, winner of the recent Ka
i tional balloon race, turned the med
: als over to the President on behalf
of the Aero Club. The President said
to Miss Wright:
"And I want to congratulate the
tnoat Important member of the family."
Prepare to Resume Flights.
The day was one of celebration In
lionor of the Wrights from the time
' they arrived until 7 o'clock tonight.
; when they left for Dayton. The two
brothers consulted Guneral James Al-
' len, the chief signal officer, about the
official trials of their aeroplane, which
re to be resumed by Orville Wright.
' C B. Taylor, the mechanic who accom-
. Jianled Orville to Fort Meyer last Sum
mer, will set up the aeroplane at Fort
Meyer, and it Is expected the flights
will be resumed on June 21. The tests
were to have been concluded by June
8, but it Is believed the time will be
extended, if necessary. Orville Wright
aald the machine would be practically
Identical with that used by him last
year. It will be sent to Washington
early next week.
Great Step In Discovery.
In presenting the medals the President
eata:
"I esteem It a great honor and an oppor
tunity to pit-sent these medals as evi
dence of what you have done. It Is espe
cially gratifying thus to note a great step
in human discovery by paying honor to
men wno Deur it so modestly.
"It has been said that thin 1s tn flrot

io say is that I had a predecessor whn
if aeronautics had proceeded so far when
he left office ae they have today, would
not only have gone down under the water
in a submarine boat, but would have
Bone up into tUe air in a flying machine.
1 Here may be some reason why some
Presidents have not figured In aeronau

have flown in the air are constructed

Dining-Car Cooks Refused Money.
Chinaman Died in Icebox.
CHICAGO, June 10. August Mueller
and Gustave Weir, dining-car cooks, em
ployed on the Golden State Limited of
the Rock Island Railroad, told on the
witness stand before Judge Landia how
they had refused offers of money to aid
in smuggling Chinamen into the United
States. The men were witnesses for the
prosecution in -the trial of Bob Leung,
a well-to-do Chinese merchant of El
Paso.
Until one Chinese was smothered to
death it was tue regular practice, accord
ing to testimony, to place the smuggled
Chinese in an icebox of the dining-car
after they had been put aboard the
Golden Gate Limited. "The Icebox,"
testified Albert Champion, a negro cook
on one of the cars in question, "was
about four by four by two and one-half
feet in dimensions. On one occasion one
of the brakemen told me we would have
to find some other way of carrying these
Chinese. They won't, ride in the box
lnco that one was smothered."

Almost Riot at Cemetery When Mil

Contest of Will Is Al
most Certain.
PARIS, June 10: Not for several
years has Paris witnessed a spectacle
of such pomp and magnificence as was
seen today at . the funeral of H. A.
Chauchard, proprietor of the Magasins
nu Louvre, from the Church of the Mag
deleine. More than half a million peo
ple crowded the streets along which
the funeral procession was to take its
way.
Starting from the residence in the
Rue Velasquez, where the body had
been lying in state, the "imposing pro
cession escorted by troops, literally
forced its way through the streets to
the church. The hearse, which was
drawn by six black horses, was pre
ceded by three funeral cars banked high
with the rarest flowers and by 3000 em
ployes of the Louvre store. A carriage
with drawn blinds was occupied by
Mme. Boursin, who had been a close
friend of M. Chauchard for something
like 30 years.
Crowds Enjoy Spectacle.
The crowd enjoyed the funeral
rather as a spectacle than a tribute.
Here and there hisses were heard.
Services at the Madelelno were impos
ing. When the procession, after leaving
the church, left the working districts,
many persons indulged In coarse Jests,
and the police made arrests.
At several places the crowd broke
out the lines and invaded the proces
sion. The crowded sidewalks were so
dense that many women and children
were injured. Ex-President Loubet,
who accompanied the hearse on fool,
frequently was cheered.
There was almost a riot when the
cortege arrived at the Pere la Chaise
cemetery, but the police Anally were
successful in driving back the mob,
and the coffin was placed in a magnifi
cent sepulchre crowned with a bust of
the deceased.
Will Contest Threatens.
A dozen persons residing In the prov
lnces are now claiming relationship
with M. Chauchard and threaten to
contest his will. Several establishments
like the Pasteur Institute and a literary
association to which M. Chauchard
made annual contributions, but which
were ignored In the will, are dlscon
tented, and it is rumored that they will
allege undue influence in an effort to
have the document set aside.

SUICIDE CLOSES CAREER
(Continued From First Page.)
1908, arid separated about three years
later.
Mrs. Ruix came to New Tork after
her separation and never seemed to
lack the means of luxurious, though
quiet, life. It was a tradition of so
ciety that she first became acquainted
with Mr. Vanderbilt . through the
breaking of her saddle girth, in Cen
tral Park. From the moment of their
acquaintance began the estrangement
between Alfred Vanderbilt and his
wife, which ended In a divorce last
May.
The public began to learn of the
situation when It came out in the
divorce suit of one Breachley, a Van
derbilt employe, that there had been a
dispute over an automobile which Mrs.
Ruiz was using after volunteering
the information to the automobile firm
that Mr. Vanderbilt would pay the bill.
Mrs. Ruls had walked into their of
fice and laid down 11 $1000 bills, the
price of the machine. Mrs. Ruiz went
abroad about the time Alfred Vander
bilt sailed last Fall.
