WRIGHTS WIN THE HONORS!
!
This Is the Second Day of "Avia-;
tion Week."
AIR FILLED WITH BIG "BIRDS- j
Bleriot. Who Flew Over the Eng
lish Channel. Arouses the
Crowd's Enthusiasm.
RHEIMS A u.511st 2T:.?Blue skies and
glorious sunshine. with only a lracc of j
wind. made ideal conditions for this, the
second day of aviation week at Rheims.
:mil thn peopie of the city awoke to- the >
imp-oved prospects of good sport with i
Keen relish.
A;traded by the sensational perform
ance* of yesterday, when no less than <
>y\ aeroplanes were seen at the samej
time winging their flight in iiuce circles
over the plain ol' Bethany, thousands of
spectators came down on the early trains
front l'aris. and when the dirigible balloon
('?>!. Renard appeared over the field at 10
o'clock, having come from Meaux. the;
Iribimes and fences li:iing the tleld al- (
ready were black with people. The Renard.
which was the first of the dirigible
balloons to arrive, carried out a series
ol" Impressive evolutions above the plain.
Hubert Latham has been chosen as the
third aviator to represent Franc? in the
contest for the international '-up. the bit;
event of the week, which will be run off
next Saturday. Tie others are MM. Blcr
iot and T.efebvre. This decision was
reached by the judges this morning aft
er careful consideration of tin- elimina
tion contests held yesterday.
Record for Wright Machine.
Tissaudier, Paulham and Somtner art
alternates to Latham. Tissandier. who
uses a Wright biplane, thus far holds
the speed record. Only one other Wright
machine, that operated by Schreck. re
mains to compete in this event.
The daring performances yesterday of
1 fcln're has made him extremely pop
ular. but Rleriot and I .at ham still re
niaii* the favorites of the crowd.
Glenn Curtis came out at ?? o'clock t iis
morning for tuning-up practice. A few
minutes flight showed that everything
connected with his machine was in good
working order. Bleriot also was out
early. He had a lttO-horsepower ma
chine that developed great speed.
Cortland F. Bishop, representing the
Aero Club of America, today received
definite assurances from Jacques Verne
that he would send a small portable di
rigible balloon, the Zodiac, to appear at :
the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New
York next month. The Zodiac will com
pete in the race for dirigibles to l.e held
hei e.
A Fine Spectacle.
The spectacle of six aeroplanes simul- 1
taneously winging their flight in huge
circles over the plain of Bethen.v was a
remarkable feature of the opening day
of aviation week yesterday. At the tin- <
ish of the flight there was a great burst
of cheers over the wonderfully impressive
exhibition.
The storm Saturday left ti.e sky banked j
with clouds, with intermittent showers
and high winds, and the eliminating
trials for the selection of the French
representatives for the Gordon Bennett
international cup, the contest tor which
is to Ik- held next Saturday, were spoiled.
Only Lefebvre. who less than two months
ago* adopted aeroplane piloting as a pro
fession. with a Wright biplane: Bleriot.
Delagrange. Ksnault-Pelterie and Capt.
Ferber braved the gusty puffs. Lefebvre,
alone succeeded in making ihe complete j
circuit of the course. He remained in
the air for sixteen minutes in a twenty
live-mile wind, breaking tlie speed rec
ord, heretofore held by Tissandier, cov
ering ten kilometres in S minutes l-o j
seconds.
Of the others entered in the trials, Bie- j
riot was able to cover only a sufficient !
distance to qualify, thus leaving the com- j
mittee to select the remaining represent
ative from the best achievements in the
subsequent events.
The rain and wind prevented any at
tempt in the two other events on today's
program?a speed contest of three laps
and a lap contest, for which any round
counts?until shortly before dark. Then
suddenly the rain ceased and the wind
fell to a dead calm. The sky pilots soon
were busy in getting their machines out
of the shed, and the air buzzed with the
hum of motor exhausts.
Latham First Away.
I^alham was first away, ascending high
from the start. He passed the cheering
tribunes at a height of 150 feet, and the
ovation which he received was all the
heartier for his plucky though unsuccess
ful attempt to cross the English channel.
| l^ambert. Sommer, Cockburn, Delagrange

down, falling head-oil into a haystack as j
Laiiilii 'l' swctit around Into the second
lap, his machine seeming to cut into * j

! by l.e Blanc. Bunau-Varilla. Tissandier.

' iii seemed tilled with mammoth birds.

ping out until only three Wright tnaclilnes
remained aloft, Lambert completed tour.

starting point. ? utt.lng several figures of

parsed each other twice and gave othei i
? vidence of control over their machines, j

the required three rounds, the time being 1
as follows: Tissandier, U* minutes ."?!? sec- !

There was great disappointment among
the Americans at the failure of Glenn H.
("urtiss to appear, but he explained that
he has only one machine and cannot af
lord to take chances of a mishap. He is
reserving h.mself. he says, for the Cor-j
don Bennett cup. which he wants to take j
to America.
Not an Accident.
Not a single accident marred the day.
and the crowd- returned to Rheims en
thusiastic over the new sport and the fu- |
ture of the aeroplane.
All the prim-pal automobile manufac
turers have representatives here watch- '
ing the contests, with a view to embark
ing in the manufacture of motors.
Lieutenant Commander F. L. Chapin, j
American naval attache, is here, having j
received cabled instructions from the ;
Navy department t*? attend the contests |
and report back to the department. Most 1
of the other foreign military attaches at !
Paiis also are present, and a general;
French and English mission which lias |
been attending the maneuveis at Chalons |
will he here. President Faillieres and
the members of his cabinet, together vvitli i
many otiier notables, are expected to |
witness some of the contests. The city f
of Rheims gave a grand concert and ball j
Jin honor of the visitors last night. j
WD DEVER IS SILENT
Policeman's Case Will Be
Heard Next Friday.
HOUSEBREAKING IS CHARGE
His Young Wife Obtains Bond for
Release.
EMPTIES HIS LOCKER TODAY
Had Large Sum of Money in Keep
ing There. According to
One Report.
Seth W. Van Dever.
Policeman V.fth W. Van Dever will not
be arraigned In Police Court on diaries
of housebreaking until Friday. He did
not appear in court today. Through his
wife he employed counsel yesterday and
the ease was continued by agreement be
tween his counsel and Assistant District
Attorney Turner.
The bail upon which Van Dever was
released yesterday will stand until he is
arraigned Friday. This is a real estate
bond, obtained by his young wife. He
will be represented by Attorneys Gardi
ner & Gardiner.
Van Dever visited the seventh precinct
police station this morning and went
through his locker to obtain what per
sonal belongings he had there. He was
quiet. ;i - usual, and would not disuss
the case against him with the men On
duty who offered their solicitations.
it If said that among the other tilings
Van Dever had in his locker was a pack
age containing S.'toO in cash. This report
could not be verified, however. It is
known thai Van Dever is a thrifty man
and saved his money.
Serve Charges This Morning.
Karly this morning police officials served
a cop\ of charges on Van Dever. setting
forth that lie had l>een guilty of Conduct
unbecoming an officer, having entered the
store without permission and helped
himse'f to property not belonging to him.
Acting Lieut. Wilson, serving as in
spector, preferred the charges, and Van
Dever was directed to appear before the
trial board tomorrow.
Van Dever is not the first member of
the police force to be accused of hav
ing violated the law while he was sup
posed to have been upholding it. four
others having been accused of offenses
since 1 N!>2. Ft was in the fall of 18JK! that
two detectives were accused of having
promoted the lottery business, while they
were employed to detect violators of the
law. The charge was made against them
that they protected one. policy firm and
exerted their efforts against a rival con
cern.
About that time the policy business
flourished iti this city and Alexandria
county. Va.. and there were frequent
charges of "graft" in connection with
the business. Tne arrest of the two
men followed, and they were released on
security, but when the time came for
their ease to b<* heard they were absent,
having jumped their bond and left the
city.
lit the spring of IS'.?7 a Georgetown po
'iceman was arrested for an alleged rob
bery committed at the house of Mrs.
Fannie McMillan. Her home was on tlx
beat covered by the policeman and lie
had been advised to pay attention to the
premises during the temporary absence
of its occupant.-. He paid such close at
tention to I lit- house, it is charged, that
he entered jt and carrid away valuable
bric-a-brac and other property. He was
arrested and charged with the robbery
but he followed the example of the othet
officers, leaving the city and permitting
the forfeiture of his bond.
A policeman In the ninth precinct was
the next metnber of the police force to
get in trouble, his ease l>e:ng somewhat
similar to the man who was arrested
yesterday morning. Numerous complaints
had been made of thefts committed in the
northeast section of the city* and the
finding of a police "lookout" in the office
at the coal yard of E. R. Hughes, 8th and
U streets, g.i\* the first intimation that a
policeman was implicated.
Popular on His Beat.
The policeman was behind the counter
when the captain surprised him and
placed hin. under- arrest. lie admitted
he had committed thefts, and claimed
his conduct was the result of a disease.
He had tried to stop it. he stated, but
was unable to do so. His house was
searched* and property enough to start a
store was recovered. He had made him
self so popular with residents of his beat
that when the time came to prosecute
.him his alleged victims tried to get him
out of the difficulty, and he was given
only a short jail sentence.
WILL RENEW THE FIGHT.
North Carolina Feudists Not Satis
fied With Recent Carnage.
CHARLOTTE. N. C.. August 22.?With
the announcement tonight that Charles
Cox was slowly bleeding to death and
would probably be the second victim, the
a r< st of Fd Cox and the verdict of the
coroner's jury fastening the death of
Reere Hucks upon him. developments in
the street fight at Huntersvil'e. this coun
ty. last night, in which one man was
killed and five others seriously shot and
cut. came thick and fast today.
Charles Cox was one of the principals
to the feud tight, and is the father of
the young man who shot Reece Hucks to
death. Physicians have been unable thus
far to staunch the flow of blood from his
numerous wounds. The coroner's jury
held that Kd <"o\ did the shooting, and
Sheriff Wallace has landed him in Meck
lenburg jail. He has already engaged
counsel, and will plead self-defense.
Charles Cox. jr., I<ester Hucks. Ratte
and Gllreath Davis, the other principals
to the riot, are expected to recover. Opin
ion is prevalent tonight that the trouble
is not over. The family connection on
both sides is large, and the results of
last night's clash are far from satis
factory to either side.
The funeral of Reece Hucks took place,
todav at the homestead, seven mile* from
Charlotte. _

LIFEBOAT ADRIFT.
Found on the Beach at Life-Saving
Station No. 3.
NORFOLK. V;i.. August Kecj>ei T.
J. Tillett of life-saving station No. j
south of < "ape Henry, todaj reported to i
the Norfolk navy yard the finding on i
the beach near that point'of a twenty-j
two-foot lifeboat painted white and boar-'
Ing a flag, in the center <>f which were
the words "New York navy yard." The
boat, in good condition, was without oc
cupants.
Supt. Kimball of the life-saving service
could throw no light on the subject as
to where the boat might have come
from. He stated that the location of
life station No. where Keeper Tillett
sent the report of the finding of the life
boat, is about thirty-two miles south of |
Cape Henry.
it was supposed that the boat had
been aboard some battleship or cruiser j
off the capes, but it was stated at the
bureau of navigation tins afternoon that
the size of lifeboats carried by men-of
war is much larger than the one found.
It was suggested that the boat in ques
tion may have been lost overheard from
a collier while at sea. and that it drifted
to the shore off Cape Henry. No dis
patches. however, of any loss of life at
sea among; enlisted men have been re
ceived at the Navy Department.
IRON ORE STEAMER SINKS.
Hole Stove in Senator's Side by a
Sister Lake Boat.
SAl'LT 8TE. MARIE. August
The steamer Norman B. Ream, down
bound from Detour, today collided with
the steamer Senator. Both steamers had
cargoes of iron ore. A large hole was
made in the starboard side of the Sena
tor, letting water into the hold. The ves
sel began to till and barely had time to
swing on to the upper end of the middle
ground before it sank. The Ream had Us
anchors carried-away and its stem twist
ed to starboard, but is seaworthy.
Tugs and lighters have left for the
Senator to inakt; repairs and raise it.

"Homes of a Hundred Ideas"
In Woodley Park.
Tlic enthusiasm manifested over our "homes' in Woodley
Park, containing the one hundred ideas of the men and women of
Washington, indorses our aim t<? adjust our terms as to place
our high-class properties within the reach of people whose culture
and taste demand suitable environment but who lack sufficient capi
tal to secure it.
We otter them "homes" that 1 liey crave, and not the kind that
arc usually provided. Wc open tip to them a section whose cx
elusiveness is pronounced?the Connecticut avc. rep on?whose
fashionable dictates affect the property north as well as south of the
new million-dollar bridge, which is but a stonc > throw from our
homes.
We alone can offer such advantages because of the purchase
of a large tract of land in Woodley before the advance and, while
the prices of our homes must necessarily increase in proportion .1 *
the land values rise, the character of our homes will be compatible
with their price and our equivalents in values ill be as just as is
our custom.
Our model home is open daily, and the effect of the electric
lighting in the evening is very charming. Open until 0:30 p.m. Take
1" street or Chevy Chase cars to Connecticut and Cathedral aves.
27th street is one-halt square from Connecticut avenue. $7,350 (for
summer months only): $48.50 a month, including all interest: $1,250
cash required. Sample home only one finished.
