LONDON MAKES LIONS OF WRIGHT BROTHERS

“Unspoiled as ThonghThey Were Nobodies,” Says Speaker, London, May 4. —There was a demonstration of enthusiasm, rmnarkable in its at the Insmutton Of Civil Engineers when the Aefonaullcal Society of Great Britan conferred its first gold medal on Wilbur and Orville Wright. Sir Hiram Maxim, Lieutenant General Baden-Powell, Captain F. S. Cody, cn American, who is struggling, but thv.s far unsuccessfully, to perfect his c- i aeroplane for the British army, end a large number of scientists and v enen were present. Colonel J. E. Capper, the war office’s rerenautieal expert, referred to the Wright brothers as “unspoiled, as though they were nobodies,” and declared that the nation which failed to keep pace with the flying developments might get badly left in war. Both Wilbur and Orville Wright made brief speeches, tersely expressing their thanks. The brothers were besieged for autographs.

GOOD WITNESS FOR HAINS

Testimony Tending to Disprove Killing of Annis Was Premeditated. Flushing, May 4.—With thirteen of the defense’s witnesses disposed of, the Hains trial now is in its third week. Perhaps the most important bit

CAPTAIN P. C. HAINS, JR.

of testimony on behalf of Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., the defendant, charged with the murder of William Q,

Annis, came when Lee Bugg,areal estate dealer and a member of the Bayside Yacht club, where Annis was shot, testified that he had discussed the merits of certain property adjoining the yacht club with Thornton Hains, the defendant’s brother, and al one time made an appointment with Thornton Hains to meet him at the yacht club. 1 Emma Lavelle, the Hains cook, and Mlnne Rohme and Lillie Sawyer, negro maids employed by Mrs. Claudia Hains, caused considerable amusement in court by the characteristic manner of telling their stories of the alleged “antics” of Billy Annip and Claudia Hains at the Hains Fort Hamilton home during the captain’s absence.
