AUflTHER STEP TO PROMOTE SAFETY THIS STORE CLOSED ALL DAY MONDAY, JULY C. When Miss Golda Forrel Hunt left the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton O. Hunt, yesterday morning, it was ostensibly to continue her work at a downtown store. She wore her customary store dress and had .in no way intimated that she never would return home as Golda Hunt. Concealed in a package, which she carried, was a new white dress. It was but a few hours , later that wearing the white MOT dress she became Mrs. Harley Cox at the home of the Rev. S. W. Traum. The wedding was. a surprise In every American Railway Association Today Begins to Enforce Explosive Rules. detail, the bride's family knowing nothing of the intentions of the young couple. The groom is a well known young man, the son. of Mr. and Mrs. Earner Cox.

EMPHASIZE DUAL RESPONSIBILI TY, IN INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY, ON PART OF THE

8HIPPER AND CARRIER.

- Pittsburg, Pa., July 2. As a further

stp toward adding to the safety of

railroad operations, the lines comprising the American Railway association and operating: 246,172 miles of line in the United States, Canada and Mexico will, beginning today, put into effect revised rales for the transportation of

inflammable articles and acids. These

are complementary to the rules of the Interstate commerce commission, ef

fective April 13. 1909. for the trans

portation of explosives. .The Pennsyl

vania Railroad company has had these rules printed and distributed, with instructions that every employe - con

cerned must obtain a copy of them and be governed accordingly. Dual Responsibility. These regulations for the transpor

tation of dangerous articles have been

formulated by Col. B. W. Dunn, U. S

A., chief inspector of the bureau for

the safe transportation of explosives for the American Railway association, and 'are based upon an act of congress approved May 30, 1908 and they are designed to emphasize the dual responsibility, in the interest of public safety, that rests upon the shipper and . the carrier. Tne particular purpose is that the shipper shall know the true characteristics of his shipment and familiarize himself with , the requirements of the regulations in order that he may inform the carrier by use of prescribed certificates and labels. The importance of tho regulations may be : realized from the fact that there are in this country more than 150 factories, the combined product of which in the course of a year is over 600,000,000 pounds of explosives. In 1906 a single railroad transported over 91,000,000 pounds of explosives and used for this purpose 19,000 cars. But Little Trouble. Since the bureau referred to began; its operations, there has been very little trouble from the transportation of explosives in the United States, and it is believed that' when the work of the ' bureau has , been fully developed, the danger from this source will have been reduced to a minimum. .The thoroughness with which this campaign for safety has been pursued may be indicated by the fact that special supervision is given not only to the transportation of. powder, dynamite and other heavy explosives, but it is now provided that special cars shall be pursued in the handling of any material ; that gives off inflammable vapor at or below a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheft; ' materials subject to spontaneous combustion; materials other than acids that are liable to cause accidents by friction, concussion, absorption of moisture, contact with organic matter and otherwise. Special rules also govern the handling of compressed gases of liquids, as well as a list of eight of the most virulent acids and corrosive compounds. v

Cupid is a nimble fellow but he had to expend all his energy in June dodging between showers and did not find time to weave a net to ensnare the hearts of Wayne countians. In fact so far as Wayne county is concerned, Jdne Is losing its popularity as the month for marriages. At least two other months of the year have excelled June for the last two years in the number of marriage licenses granted. During the month Just closed, the county clerk granted only forty-one licenses. There were several other affairs of the heart which resulted in weddings for which the clerk did not collect his 2.

WRIGHT BROTHERS SCORUSOCCESS Orville in New Machine Three Times Circles Parade At Ft. Myer. CHEERED BY THOUSANDS

AERONAUT STARTS BEAUTIFULLY AND IN EVERY INSTANCE LANDED HIS CRAFT WITHOUT ANY MISADVENTURE. Washington, D. C July 2. Orville Wright late yesterday encircled the Fort Myer drill grounds time after time in his aeroplane In three successful flights, while thousands cheered him. After the unsuccessful attempts of the last two days, the performances were inspiring. While the machine

oscillated at certain points, and dipped and rose suddenly at others, it was evident from the regularity with which these things happened that they were due to the condition of the atmosphere and not to any fault of the machine. Shortly before 6 o'clock the aeroplane was wheeled from the shed to the starting track. The damage sustained in yesterday's flight had been repaired by splicing a new piece to the broken skid. How the Start Was Made. After the motor had been tested the weight which gives the aeroplane its start was hoisted up and all was ready for a flight. The propellers were cranked and Orville turned on the motor. The screws whirled around ajt what seemed the greater speed than on the previous occasions, and as Orville climbed into his seat Wilbur put his hand on the right wing ready to run along with the machine. Nodding

to his brother. Orville released the

machine and it started down the track at a rapid rate. As it neared the end

of the starting rail Orville turned up the forward horizontal rudders and the machine rosejtd the air.

It was a beautiful start and the

crowd cheered heartily. Down the field the aeroplane sailed, curved gracefully about the lower end and back up the east side of the field along the edge of Arlington cemetery.

Wright was making short turns, but

as he seemed to gain familiarity with

the ground over whieh he was traveling, he increased the radius of his trips about the field. The first round was made in fifty seconds. Five times the machine skirted the field.

Swoops Down to Perfect Landing. On the sixth round Wright came to

earth within a ; few hundred feet of the starting, point, completing the

flight in exactly five minutes. The landing was perfect, the machine swooping down in successive glides until within a few feet of the earth, when Orville pulled the string which stops his motor and the aeroplane plided smoothly over the grass on its skids until it came to a stop. The machine was returned to the starting apparatus, while the brothers held a consultation. Again the aeroplane was placed in position and another flight essayed. The start was as successful as the first. Reaches Height of Forty Feet. In his last attempt Orville remained aloft for a few seconds more than nine minutes and encircled the field nine and one-half times. For one complete round he flew close to the ground, evidently preparing to land. This he did within 200 feet of the aeroplane shed. During this last flight he went higher than on his previous trials, reaching a height of forty feet.

PAINTS HIS HORSE WITH VIVID GREED

Samuel Roebuck "Didn't Like

White" Says Witness in Estate Contest.

FOND OF BABY CARRIAGES

WITNESS TESTIFIES, IN EFFORT

TO BREAK THE WILL, DECEASED THOUGHT THAT HE HAD 65

CHILDREN.

Brooklyn, N. Y., July 2. That Sam

uel Roebuck, a manufacturer of win

dow screens and weather strips, who

died on February 9, leaving an estate

valued at more that $1,000,000, once

painted a valuable white horse a vivid green was the testimony of a witness at a hearing before Surogate Ketcham who is trying to determine whether Roebuck was of sound mind when he drew up any one of the three wills

that have been filed for probate. Besides owning a green horse, Roebuck also had the cellar and several rooms of his home filled with baby carriages. Witnesses declared that the manufacturer believed he was the father of sixty-five children and that on his return home he frequetnly pushed one carriage before him and dragged another in his wake. Attempted Wife's Life. A maid who was employed for several years in the Roebuck home, at 175 Seventeenth street. South Brooklyn declared that on one occasion he had attempted to kill her and Mrs. Roebuck by turning on all the gas in their house when he was the only one awake. Roebuck, it was testified also labored under the impression that his wife was trying to poison him. On one occasion he kicked out the glass in the window on the third floor and was seized just as he was about to leap to the sidewalk. Roebuck, who was nearly 80 years old when he died, drew his first will on March 12, 1808. In that, as in his second will, drawn February 20, 1906, he left the greater part of his property to his widow and to several children by a former wife. In the third will, which bears the date of July 17, 1908, he leaves considerable of his property to Mrs. Elizabeth Bird of Northampton, England, who, he declared, is his daughter. Until that will was filed in the surrogate's office none of his relatives in this country knew that he had a daughter in England. All the testimony taken related to Roebucks' mental condition at the time he executed his last will in 1908. Several witnesses testified that his actions were those of a normal man until within a short time before he signed the third will. It was in 1908 that Andrew Pur tell, a florist of Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street, saw Roebuck painting his white horse green. When Purtell asked the reason for changing the animal's color. Roebuck said: "I'm tired of white. I thing green a better color."
