Wilbur in His Trusty Aeroplane Circles Over City, Battleship Fleet and About Grant's Tomb. THOUSANDS WATCHED HIM SPELL BOUND

He Was in the Air About Thirty-five Minutes, Flying Twenty Miles and Going at a Great Speed. (American News Service) New York. Oct. 4. In the most spectacular airship flipht the world has ever seen, Wilbur Wright, of Dayton, Ohio, flew ui the Hudson river In his aeroplane fiom Governors Island today, passing Grant's tomb, and circling in the air hundreds of feet above the ships of the International navy. Wright had his machine under perfect control although - the atmospheric conditions were not the best. Thousands along the route stood and watched in astonishment. Boats in the Hudson river and the bay gave the salute of whistling which lasted five minutes. The flight was begun at 9:55 o'clock and ended at 10:29 o'clock. Wright remained in the air exactly thirty-four minutes and sailed approximately twenty miles. The highest altitude re.jched was estimated at five hund: l feet, the greatest speed attained being about fifty miles an hour. It landed within twenty feet of the starting point. The whistling salutes of the harbor craft Informed all New York that the flight had begun and all piers, jetties, roofs and windows were quickly alive with open mouthed humanity. There was plenty of cheering but most persons were wonder bound. The official t flight probably occurred this afternoon. A Perfect Landing. Wright came back near Castle William and made a perfect landing. "I did not attempt to go around Grant's Tomb," he said. "I shall probably do that this afternoon. It was a very successful flight." Wright left Governors Island at 9:55, rising like a bird as he started. As the shipping in the river saw the great bird-like machine above, there was a blast of whistles. Wright headed for Jersey shore and started up the river. Word that the aeroplane was making the flight quickly spread and docks and jetties and steamships piers were thronged. To many spectators it was the first sight of an aeroplane flight. The lazy hum of propellers came to their ears and they saw Wright, alert, guiding the machine, now rising and now dipping. The machine passed swiftly. Wright evidently did not have the motor at full speed but the powerful propeller drove the car ahead at a pace which out-distanced the tugboats. Ferry boats stopped in mid-river, while passengers crowded to the rail, marveling at the sight above. Along the streets uptown people hurried to the river front. At 10:12 o'clock when Wright reached Forty-second street there was a big throng there. Flock to River Front. Along the riverside drive people flocked. Apartments along the drive had every window tenanted. Residents of the high buildings sought the roof for a glimpse of the machine. At 10:15 o'clock Wright passed Seventy-fifth street. At the time he was flying he was about one hundred feet in the air with his machine under perfect control and making fast time. Riverside drive begins at Seventy-stcond street and from that point to the viaduct, away north of Grant's Tomb there were crowds of people cheering the daring aviator. At 10:17 o'clock after passing Grant's Tomb. Wright turned back. Circling at 150 feet above the warships in the harbor Wright started on his return voyage. Upon decks of ships were crowds of sailors. On the American. English, Italian, French, German and other war vessels there were crowds of cheering tars. Probably not one of them had ever seen an aeroplane before. It was an inspiring sight. Wright lost no time in maneuvering, although he did not seem particularly anxious to hurry back to Governor's Island. Just Tops Warships. He started down past the drive where the crowds had greatly increased. -At 10:25 o'clock Wright had passed Fifty-sixth street on his return journey and was about fifty feet above the spars of the warships in the river. At 10:27 o'clock he passed Twentyfifth street and at 10:29 he reached Governor's Island again. Wright flew with a life perserver about him and a . canoe strapped to the aeroplane to avert death by drowning in case he fell into the river. The flight was especially remarkable from the fact that he made it under adverse weather conditions. When he started from Governor Island the wind was blowing at the rate of eighteen miles an hour. It is considered hazardous to make an airship flight In a wind blowing ten miles an hour.

IS SEIZED Mexicans Hold American Craft Which Is Alleged to Be A Pirate. HAD RAPID FIRE BATTERY Merida, Mex., Oct 4. Suspected of piracy and carrying a battery of rapidfire guns, the American fishing schoonCaldwin H. Colt, formerly a New York pilot boat, has been seized by the authorities here and its captain, Joseph II. Schlose, and the crew are in the city jail under arrest. The Bravo, one of several Mexican gunboats which have been investigating stories of piracy in the Gulf, ran down the Colt in Mexican waters and brought her here. The captain was unable to give a satisfactory account of his craft and refused to explain the reason for the rapid-fire guns whicch were mounted and in readiness for instant services. Officials have completed an inventory of the Colt's cargo which may be seized by the Mexican government, together with the schooner itself. The Colt cleared from Pensacola, Fla., about two weeks ago, supposedly for the Campeche fishing grounds. ABANDON OLD ROUTE Galena, 111., Oct. 4.

In view of this. Vogelsong and Mashmeyer were sent to the place yesterday morning to

WEEK WAS COOL ONE

Wayne County Past Days Had Touch Winter Weather. Seven of 71 DEGREES HIGH MARK Last week was a decidedly cool one according to the weather report of Meteorological Observer Walter Vossler, at the water works pumping station, east of the city. On only one day did the mercury soar around the comfortable mark, and that was on Wednesday when 71 degrees, the highest temperature for the week, was recorded. On the day previous the liquid in the little glass tube dropped to two degrees below the freezing mark and a heavy frost was experienced, doing considerable damage to the fruit trees in this vicinity. There were traces of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. Three days out of the seven were registered as clear, Monday, Friday and Saturday. Following is the daily temperature: High. Low.

However There Are Only a

Few Republican Candidates Who Have Announced They Have Entered. NOMINATIONS TO BE MADE IN FALL 1910 M. L. Clawson Is Seriously Considering Trying for Attorney Generalship and Bosson Wants It. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis. Oct. 4. Once In a while one hears of a new candidate for a republican nomination lor a state office, or of some one who is just looking around to see how the land lays, but there are only a few avowed candidates for the various places for which nominations are to be made next fall. During the last week only one new candidate was an nounced and he is M. L. Clawson of this city, who is thinking seriously of getting into the race for attorney gen eral. Clawson is well known through out the state by reason of the fact that last year he made a speaking campaign that took him into nearly every county. He is one of those hammer and tongs speakers who mak his audiences sit up and take notice. He is a prominent member of several secret orders. He has not yet made a definite announcement that he will be a candidate, but from what he has aid it is almost certain that he will get into the race. Bosson In The Race. William Bosson, also of this city, is the avowed candidate for the nomin ation for attorney general. He made his formal announcement some weeks ago, and he is working on the job right along. These are the only two men whose names have been used with . any degree of definiteness in this race, but it Is -said that 'Edward M. White and Alexander Cavins, both assistants in the office of the attorney general Bingham, may become candidates. WTiether Carl Riddick, of Winamac, will be a candidate for secretary of state is not yet known definitely. Soon after the election last fall it was understood that Riddick would be a candidate. He is secretary of the re publican state committee, and has been for several years, and he is one of the most popular republicans In In diana. But in the last several months nothing has been heard from him on the subject, and no one seems to know whether he will be in the race or not. The only ether candidate for this nomination at this time, so far as is known, is R. C. Tucker, of this city, a newspaper man. Tucker has not made his announcement, but he has been talking the thing over with republicans from over the state and has received a pile of letters a mile high from workers who urge him to get into the race. John Reed, deputy state auditor will probably not have any opposition for the nomination for auditor, although for a time there was talk to the effect that W. G. Oliver, of Franklin, might contest the place with him. Reed is solid with the old party organization in this state, and his fair methods of dealing with everybody, both in and out of his party, have given him a wide popularity. It is not believed that Oliver will be a candidate. For State Treasurer. Jacob Joel of Crawfordsville, Jonce Manyhan. of Orleans and W. T. Springer of Ellzabethtown, are the three men who will most likely make the race for the nomination for state treasurer. Joel and Manyhan have been candidates before, but never landed. Manyhan made his announcement as a candidate in an Orleans paper some time ago. Joel has practically admitted that he will be a candidate, and Springer, who is a member of the state senate and also a national bank examiner, has been looking around to such an extent as to cause people to believe that he has made up his mind to enter. Lawrence McT'irnan said a few days ago that he would not again be a candidate for the nomination for superintendent of public Instruction, but this may not be his final decision, for it is known that strong influence is being brought to bear on him from over the state to take the nomination again. Mr. McTurnan was the nominee last year and was defeated by Robert J. Aley. democrat, by a few hundred votes. No other name has been heard in connection with this nomination, and it is believed here that McTurnan can have it if he wants it. Is Not Opposed. No one has yet shown up to try to take the nomination for clerk of the supreme court away from Ed FJtzpatrick. who now holds that of fie. There seems to be a disposition to give him another term. J. L. Peetz will have opposition for the nomination for another term as state statis-

ADDRESS BY RUSSELL. filbert Russell took- for his text 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Character is shown by the way ir which we give and not what we havsaid the Rev. Russell. "Given one W and only one to dispose of, where shall we deposit it? Our sense of value i f life is not by any creed we shall sign, but by the actual acts of life. "We find men extremely careful of the genealogy of their beasts. . Are. they careful of their own genalogy? Need of Reminder. "We need for Jesus to remind ns that man Is worth more than animal. "States, nearly all of them have laws for the just care of the beasts find birds. How hard it Is to get a law passed for the prevention of cruelt and overwork of women and children. "We need Jesus to tell us the child is worth more than the horse. We all know something of the homeless children. How we make shift to bring up the orphan children In asylums. They are the best they can be, but still they cannot take the place of the home. We find these children 11 asylums while men and women lavish affection and care upon pet animals. The Institution. "The Institution! . What opportunity or temptation there Is for a man to give his life for the sake of the Institution. "On the occasion of the visit of Jesus to the tabernacle at one time. It was presented to his mind and others whether be should observe . the Sabbath or break it by healing a man, and Jesus looked around, upon them with indignation because they were going to sacrifice the man for the institution. He had to say to them, "the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. ... "It is justified only when It contributes to human good and never be made an end In Itself to which humanity ts to be sacrificed. "Institutions of worship are made for man and not man for some Institution of worship. Business Abuses. "We find in our own time, when we attempt to reform certain abuses. In our business system, abuses that are endangering the health and morality of the public, the cry everywhere Is. you will Injure business, the institution. We are asked to sacrifice the public health, the public morals for the sake of saving the institution. As if business were more important than humanity. "Jesus reminds us that character and life are far more Important than any institution, social, political, business. religion. Party Polities. ' "Party politics Is an Invaluable aid to getting Justice and good government in a country, but when aa attempt Is made to sacrifice human interest as an end we need to remind ourselves that that Is not an end, that man Is worth more. In a city like Richmond there Is aa Inducement pot before ns to elect a bad man and sacrifice the party and for the sake of maintaining the political machine, and
