Having;.. Been ' Once in
Jeopardy.
The extortion case against Adolph '
Adler la to go before another grand
Jury.
Adler was Indicted on a charge of '
having attempted to extort $400 from
8Igmund Biahel by means of a threat
ening letter. On motion of counsel for j
the defendant the Indictment waa I
quashed by Judge Morrow In ths circuit j
court tins morning ana me jury in
structed to find the man not guilty.
Moat of the morning waa taken up
by argument by counsel for Adler. who
cuntended that the indictment waa cie- i
fectlve. His argument waa that the
paper which Adler had liandd J1r. Hlch-
ti waa not addressed, that Adler had
not made any atatement himself nbout I
extorting money and that all In all the
contenta of the Indictment were Insuf
ficient to cover ths charge made against
the man.
The letter alleged to have been hand
ed to Mr. Sichel by the defendant called, I
lor 1400 at once and raid further that
unless it was forthcoming Mr. SIchel
and nis ramlly would be dealt with se
verely. Mr. tJlchel refused the demand
for money and -railed the police.
Just previous to the beginning of the
argument on behalf of the defense, the
jury to hear the case had been passed
upon by both sides.
It la underatood that- Adler's attor
ney will now. claim that the Drlsoner ;
has been In Jeopardy, the Jury having
been selected to try the caae. and that .
according to law, the charges against
Adler cannot again be placed before
another grand Jury.
This la a question of raw, ' however, -i

people have gone up Into the air since

bulk and weight were too great for
the propelling power. The pull of the
ocean current or the rlv.er is as nothing
compared with the sweep of the air
currents that the aerial navigator must
face, and he must master the art of bal
ancing his craft to meet the sudden ed
dies and whirls of air.
According to Professor Newcomb,
"the mathematical relations hetween
Kpeed, sustaining power, strength and
material efficiency of the engine and
other elements of success are fixed and
determinate, and can not be changed ex
cept by new scientific discoveries, quite
outside the power of the Inventor to
make." So far the success of the pio
neers in aeroplane sajling Maxim, Cha-
nute. Liangley. Lillenthal. Pllchcr. Cur-
tiss. Farman and the Wrights ha. been
chiefly duo to the fact that they
skimmed on the currents of air as an
expert skater skims over thin leer.
Their speed has saved them.
Great BUksotbtt of Lang-ley.
Largely upset Newton's theoiv that
the Dower expended ln flying must In
crease so rapidly with tho speed that
mechanical tl ent would he honeieas.
Dangley Droved that a surface in the
air can be driven with lens power at
high than at low speeds, and nls proof
became a law. He might have proved
more things had not death stilled his
hand and brain.
By experiment two young American
fellows proved on the Kittv Hawk sands
of North Carolina rfnd on the fields
back of Dayton, what learned scientists
have been trying to figure out by big
books, by rule and by table for many
weary years. Thev have proved that
aviators can not build their plans for
sky navigating on the same hypotheses
on Which they build for sailing the seas,
and with other pioneers thev are yet
firm in their faith that they will make
good their own theories.
If man should fly. would It not es
sentially bring about a new order of ad
ministration? Possibly a new portfolio
would be in demand, ln the cabinets of
various nations. To our own cabinet
might be added a secretary of aerial af
fairs. He would take from the depart
ment of state the nuzzling International
questions that aerial argosies might
precipitate when disregarding political
boundaries. He would take the revenue
utter service from the treasurv de
partment and police the nlr with skillful
smuggler seekers. He would take over
the weather bureau from the depart
ment of agriculture, special mail from
the postoffice department, and the wire
less telegraph stations from the dpnart.

He would be one of a great Interna

the men holding nlmllar positions In

port of the committee on resolutions
which embodies the real work of the
organization and Is ah expression of
the sentiment of the delegate. Irom 20
states, two territories. Alaska, Ha
waii and the Philippines, was present
ed at the opening of the session and
debate was started on the resolutions
recommended and those left out in, the
report of the committee.
The demands of the Pacific coast
were hv far preponderant in the long
list of resolutions presented to the con
gress for approval. The visit of the
Atlantic fleet to the far1 east and the
question of American Supremacy on
the Pacific ocean found expression in
resolutions calling for the maintenance
of a large fleet in the Pacific ocean,
the improvement of nearly every harbor
rot thttf .famine coast ana rvsuiuitona
calling for the improvement of thej
rivers 01 tne j-acuic cuuu
These demands and the demand for
the encouragement of the merchant
marine, together with the revision of
the tariff so as to encourage industry
ln the Philippine islands, showed that
the delegates were Impressed with the
necessity of activity on the part of
the United States If this country Is to
maintain Its position on the Pacific
ocean. ' , ..
in the fight over the forestry policy
of Gifford Plnchot, the administration
won at every point. Ex-Governor Par-,
dee'n substitute for the resolution in-.
troduced by Frank Short, attornoy for
the Huntington power interests, was
adopted urtunlmously. This practically
commends the policy of the government
forestry bureau in charging for power
rights on public lands. Pardee's clause,
providing that even when rights are
granted they shall be conditioned on
the prompt construction of work., was
carried despite opposition and is ex
pected to prevent the grabbing of pow
er rights .by corporations with a view
to lot tnem lie Idle and prevent mu
nicipalities from getting tnem without
buving them from the corporations.
The improvement of the forestry laws
to prevent forest fires and other con
structive legislation is recomraenaea.
The importance of trade with South
America was recognized for the first
time at a Trans-Mississippi congress,
in strong resolutions condemning the
Pacific Mall and Calling upon the gov
ernment to establish a line of steam
ers on the Pacific coast to South Amer
ican, and Central American porta, un
less the Harriman lines promise better
servicc-
. ThogSpponent. of the Harriman lines
won f&elr fight at every point. The
resolutions calling for a law empower
ing the Interstate commerce commis
sion to compel prompt freight service
-and to suspend, ln advance, freight
rates until-their reasonaoieness can be
determined, were passed. The former
resolution was fathered by the Texas
Cattlemen's, association and the latter
by the Oregon lumbermen, who have
recently won a fight against tha South
ern Pacific for the reduction of tha
high lumber rate tnat waa ro nave be
come effective on the 16th of this
