HARD TEST FOR WRIGHTS TODAY

Host Keep Aeroplane Going At Forty Nile Clip. BONUS FOR BETTER SPEED Rough, Hilly Country Surrounding Fort Myer, Qver Which the Trial la to Be Made, Is What Is Causing Aviator Some Uneasiness—No Cross Country Flight Over Uneven Ground Has Been Made by Heavier Than Air Machine. Washington, June 25. —A flight by the Wright aeroplane Is expected to take place at Fort Myer, opposite Washington, before tonight. In these teste Orville Wright will be compelled to meet wholly new conditions. The endurance trial, In which the aviator, accompanied by a passenger, must remain In continuous flight for one hour, carrying sufficient fuel for 125 miles, has already been accomplished by Wilbur Wright. It Is the speed trial, however, which Imposes difficulties. Orville Wright, who will complete the tests he began last fall and which ended when Lieutenant Selfridge was killed and he was Injured, must fly over a measured course of five miles from Fort Myer and return, a distance of ten miles. In order to receive the contract price of $25,000 a speed of forty miles an hour with and against the wind must be maintained. If less speed than thirty-six miles an hour Is made the machine will not be accepted, and 10 per cent of the contract price will be deducted for each mile less than forty made In the speed trial. A bonus of 10 per cent will be paid for each mile about forty. The Wrights’ machine has averaged from thlry-flve to forty miles per hour In the various flights made, The rough, hilly country surrounding Fort Myer, oyer which the speed trial must be made, is what is causing Orville Wright some uneasiness. No cross country flight over an uneven country has even been made by a heavier than air flying machine.

LOOK FOR LEON LING IN OAKLAND, CAL.

Said To Be Waiting Chance to .... Sail for China. San Francisco, June 25. —According the statements ot several persons living in the Chinese quarter of Oakland, Leon Ling, who is wanted for

LEON LING.

the murder of Elsie Sigel In New York, la in hiding there and will attempt to sail for China. Acting on this information Acting Chief Petersen of the Oakland police, with a squad of detectives, went to the headquarters of the Suey Bing Tong, but, after a thorough search, no trace of Leon was found. The Suey Sings are allies of the Hip Sing Tong of New York, of which Ling 1b said to be president. Sometimes It Is bribery and sometimes It Is patriotic regard for the pocketbook and special interests; all depends on the point of view. Tbe trouble about being prepared for the worst Is that It Is so apt to make some people so prepared dead anxlpus for It to happen.

MRS. GOULD IS WITNESS AGAIN

Takes the Stand and Gives Testimony In Rebuttal. EXAMINATION A LONG ONE Plaintiff and Her Lawyers Not Disconcerted Over the Btory Told on the Witness Stand by Mrs. Sells That Mrs. Gould Had Talked to Her About Returning to the Btage and Playing with Duatln Farnum—Actor 111 in Maine. New York, June 25. —Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould again was a witness In her suit for a separation and $250,000 a year alimony from Howard Gould. Delancey Nlcoll, the defendant’s counsel, subjected Mrs. Gould to a lengthy examination In rebuttal in re-

MRS. HOWARD GOULD.

gard to the many incidents which have been referred to by Mr. Gould’s witnesses. Clarence J. Shearn, Mrs. Gould’s counsel, had one more deposition to read into the record that of Dustin Farming whose name has been linked with Mrs. Gould’s throughout the trial by the defense. Shearn said he had hoped to call the actor as a witness, hut that he had learned Farnum was ill in Maine and could not be reached. The deposition of Farnum told of various meetings with Mrs. Gould, most of which took place for talks concerning .Mrs. Gould’s desire to return to tlie stage. Farnum asserts there was nothing improper in the meetings. The statement by one of Mrs. Gould’s personal friends, Mrs. Sells, on the witness stand, that Mrs. Gould had talked to her about returning to the stage and playing with Dustin Farnum, did not appear to disconcert the plaintiff or her lawyers, as Shearn said that such testimony on the record only afforded Mrs. Gould an opportunity to explain the reasons for her friendliness with the actor in the fall of 1906.

Humor and Philosophy

By DVNCAN M. SMITH

THE COMING CHARMER. We wait for June Impatiently, The month of sun and roses, For simple man then takes a brace And to his love proposes. It’s Cupid’s own and special month. And In the line of wooing When men and maidens take a stroll There’s always something doing. » The robins in the apple tree Sing to the swain, “Get busy!” When sweet sixteen comes walking by His youthful head grows dizzy. And both of them have heard about The season of romances, And neither wants to overlook Or pass up any chances. It Is a very charming sight To see a youthful lover Shine up his shoes and slick hls hair And round a maiden hover. It doesn’t seem to worry her. She welcomes hls advances. As any one In sight may know By noticing her glances. That’s what we may expect In June, The storied month for mating, The month for which we sit around And waste the moments waiting. And any one who’s seen It work Is fortified with hunches That there will be romance to burn. Engagements done In bunches.

Just His Fit. "Where is the snail going In such hot haste, breaking all records and almost putting the automobiles to shame?” asked the tortoise In a sarcastic tone of voice as he saw his playfellow passing by without speaking. “He saw an advertisement for a di»trlct messenger boy,” replied the bullfrog, “and he wants to be the first to apply.” In Danger. “He must be a good man, the way you describe him.” "He is sprouting wings right now.”
