caught; but for some reason or other,
was unable to secure a- warrant for
his arrest.
"I am leaving personally tonight
for up river points, having determined
to see to it personaly that these vio
lations . are stopped. I called the
prosecuting attorney of The Dalles,
up today on the 'phone and he assur
ed me that he would gladly do any
thing in his power to help .me out
his excuse for not having issued tho
warrant asked for by my deputy, as
he claimed, being due to the fact that
the deputy tried to tell him his busi
ness, and he resented it. You can
readily see, that the most of the
deputies that I have been able to
secure are "green-horns in the busi
ness and there may be something in
the district attorney's excuse for not
having issued the warrant. As you
are familiar with all violations that
have been reported on the lower riv
er, do not deem it necessary to men
tion same."
Apropos of the expressions made in
this letter and the evident purpose of
Warden McAllister to enforce the
terms of the law throughout the en
tire district, it may be well to state
that Secretary Ed. Rosenberg, of the
United Fishermen's Association, spent
the whole of yesterday in an endeav

Meade and Chamberlain, and the
Attorney-General of Washington, to
ascertain what, if anything, was to
be, or had been, done in the matter of
the proposed cessation of both fishing
and criminal procedure, for a few
days, until a conference had develop
ed some common basis of agreement
and action upon which the fishermen
and the officers might depend, but up
to a late hour last night he had not

CONSIDER AEROPLANES
FOR WAR PURPOSES
MR.- WRIGHT FINDS HE CAN
DROP WEIGHTS ACCURATELY.
MAY REVOLUTIONIZE WAR
Aerial Craft Could be Launched From
Decks of Battleship and From on
High Could Drop Explosives of
Terrible Power on the Enemy.
WASHINGTON', Sept. 12.-The
chance remark of a sergeant of ar
tillery at Fort Mycr during the aero
plane flights of Orville Wright was
the basis for a discussion of one of
the important features of the gov
ernment interest of the aerial craft
for war purposes. The discussion
took place at a dinner tendered to
Mr. Wright by naval officers.
Said the sergeant: "Airships arc no
good to launch a shell from became
you can't get the 'centrifugal force'
that is necessary to hit an object."
The idea which the non-commis-ioned
officer intended to convey was
that the whirling motion given a shell
by a modern steel bore gun could
not be accomplished' in dropping an
explosive shell from an airship.
The main facts brought out in the
discussion of the aeroplane as an in
strument of war we're that a machine
such as that of the Wright Brothers
would be practically invulnerable as
a target for the enemy's guns; with
a little target practice an explosive
could be dropped on a war vessel
with damaging results and that the
aerial war craft could be launched
from the deck of a battleship.
Mr. Wright said that he ha'd made
experiments with a springing weight
to see how closely he could hit ob
jects over which he was flying.
"1 found that after a little practice
it became comparatively easy to put
the weight just where 1 wanted it,"
said Mr. Wright. "One allowance
which must be made is the effect of
a wind striking the course of the air
ship at right angles."
"On your present machine, how
much weight could be added in the
shape of a gun?" Mr. Wright was
asked by Lieutenant Sweet, the na
val officer detailed to observe the
Fort Myer aeronautical tests.
"One hundred and fifty pounds,"
replied Mr.. Wright
The merits of launching an explo
sive from a gun was then discussed.
Mr. Wright said there would not be
a sufficient "kick" to cause the aero
plane to diverge from its course. 1 A
shell dropped into the funnel of a
warship, would cause a terrible dam
age to the machinery and completing
its work of destruction by bursting
the boilers. It was suggested by one
of the officers present that attacks
could be made by a number of aero
planes as is now done by the torpedo
boats. It was pointed out that the
greater cheapness of the aeroplane
and the fact that but one life for each
ship would be sacrificed would make
these attacks much more economical
from both a humanitarian and a mon
etary viewpoint.
HER SAD MISTAKE.
French Girl Who Forever Left Her
Lover Is Now Dead.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12. The rea
son Mile. Louize Barbay, who died
the other day, took a place as maid
in the home of Mrs. John R. Brady,
widow of Supreme Court Justice Bra
dy, in Flushing, is revealed by a man
who says he is M. Didier, but declines
to give his address. His story unfolds
a singular romance.
M. Didier was a school teacher and
lived at the inn of M. Barbey in the
village of Tartas in the south of
France. He fell in love with the inn
keeper's daughter who was his own
age. When he left he held the girl's
promise to some day be his wife.
But one day a friend named Val
don brought his sister to a fete at
Monte de Marsca and asked the
school master to entertain her for a
few minutes. While the couple were
sitting by the roadside Louize passed
'n a .carriage. She glanced scornfully
at Didier, he said, and told the driver
to whip up his, horses. That night
Didier sent her a letter of explanation,
but it was not answered. As soon as
possible he went to Tartas, where the
hotel keeper told him Louize had dis
appeared the day following the fete
in the other village.

the world in the last 25 years seeking

my Louize " said M. Didier in the
surrogate's office in Jamaica. "I never
found a trace of her until a few days
ago when I saw in the papers that a
French maid named Louize Barbey
had died in a sanitarium. The trunks
which the story said contained fine
clothing for the time when she should
become a fine lady undoubtedly held !
her trousseau. She was never any- (
thing but a lady, no matter what place
she took for her bread and butter.
Just one note I received from Louiz"
after she left. .It was brief and only;
wished that I might be happy with
my new sweetheart."
