who wax killed at New Orleans. hd1
And Hoxsey, who was killed at l.os
AnaHt-M, met death lu almost the same
manner Hoth f -l 1 out of tin tnucher
our Hlr with their machines neither
from a vast height and Molaant'd re
roaming minutes of life were no few
aa to count as naught Hoxsey wan
killed Instantly. Each ma nine was
headed for the earth and suddenly
aaemed to stop, hover, then "turned
over on Its nose" and dived headlong
to the earth -and to destruction.
Moisant met his death attempting
to alight In a field a few miles from
New Orleans. Hoxsey, who went Into
the air early In the afternoon at los
Angeles, lay at 2:12 p. ni. a crushed,
lifeless mass, in view of the thousands
who were watching the aviation tour
nanient Thus the last day of 1110,
In bringing the total number oi deaths
of those who have sought to emulate
the birds to thirty two, capped the list
with two of the most Illustrious of
those airmen who have been writing
the history of aviation In the skies of
two rontinents.
Movant's Career Notable.
Moisant. a Chicagoan by birth,
after an adventurous life in Central
Am.'iica, became Interested in avla
tlon in France less than a year ago
After aonrlng Into public recognition
by his plucky flight from Paris acroas
the English channel to lnidon with a
passenger and later finding himself
without a machine, by buying one from
n friend and within ten minutes start
Ing on his winning flight from Hel
mont park. New York, around the
tame of Liberty for a prize or $10,
000. Moisant came to have a name
for fearleasneaa In the air, a sudden
puff of wind caught him wtlhln 500
feet of enrth. turned his machine over
and a broken neck terminated his a
reer
Arch Hoxaey, after a year of nnl
form success with the Wright aero
plane. In which he had come to have
a name for fearlessness and in which,
only within the week, he had set a
new world' altitude record of 11,474
feet and then had sailed more than
4,000 feet above the highest mountain
in California, ran afoul of the same
kind of shifty, treacherous wind when
a matter of some 500 feet in the air
and a minute later a horrified crowd,'
aroused from Its shock, was rushing
madly to where a broken mass of hu
man It. lay beneath a torn bit of can
vas and some broken spars
Moisant's aeroplane was a Hleriot
monoplane and in addition to the
enplue In front of the main planes,
he had fastened a tank holding thirty
five gallons of gasoline Aviation ex
perls believe a sudden puff of wind
stopped his machine in the air and
the heavy weight ahead dragged the
light framework behind it, tliuping
the then useless elevator toward the
zenith In derision.
From his osition partly back of
the main planes. Moisant was flipped
out. clear of the machine, and struck
the ground, breaking his neck He
died on a flat car on which he was be
ing rushed to New Orleans.
Hoxsey, likewise, was returning
from a journey into the clouds He
was within 300 feet of the earth and
cheers were going up to meet him,
when his machine, likewise, seemed to
stop still, shudder and whirl over and
over to the ground. A In the moru
ing's tragedy, the rear elevator, ren
dered useless when the momentum
was gOBC, flopped around useless
Hoxsey's Efforts Useless.
Hoxsey vainlv endeavored to right
his craft by warping Die nciui planes
and by the use of the rudder Vain
attempts they were, for before sufh
cient momentum was gaiu.ci the
structure crumpled iism the ea Hi.

Only a few farm hands saw Mom
ant hurtle to his death. Inn Hoxsey s
end came before the horrified naze of
thousands who had come out during
the pleasant afternoon to watch the
blrdmen darting here and there
through the air, shaming the birds
themselves.

GRAZING IN NATIONAL FOREST
Court In New Mexico Upholds Author
ity of Secretary of Agriculture.
Washington, Jan .1 - The authority
of the secretary of agriculture to pre
vent the grating of live stock on tbe
national ton-Ms without a permit has
been auslalned In New Mexico by the
action of the federal courts In three
cases, in which the defendants had
caused or permitted stock to tresp:i
upon the Alamo forest In defiance, ol
the regulailons
BOX ause of the belief which has
been current among stockmen of some
localities during the last year that the
regulations of the secretary of agri
culture, with regard to glaring on the
national forests are unenforceable,
the New Mexico cases are regaided by
officials of the department of agricul
ttirfl as particularly timely and valu
able The recent disposition to ques
tlon the validity of the regulations has
evidently been due to the entirely nat
ural desire of the stockmen to assert
what they supposed, though mistaken
ly. to be their rights under the law as
Interpreted by the rourtR Secretary
Wilson considers that the effevt of the
aition taken In the New Mexico rase
will be to clarify the situation mate

NATION'S DEFICIT
New Year Finds Finances ot
Treasury Far Improved.
CANAL AN ADDITIONAL DRAIN.
Eighty-Six Million Dollars in the Gen
eral Fund Showing Is Considered
Remarkable by Treasury Official.
Now Able to Keep Even Keel.
Washington, Jan. 2 The new year
finds the nuances of the United Slates
treasury tar improved over the condi
tion in wiiit h the business of Ittlo was
begun. When 1901 began the treasury
spent some $-ti, ooo.ooo more than it
had taken in. That sum took no more
account of the extraordinary expenses
for the Panama canal.
The beginning of 1911 finds that clef
icit reduced to fti.OOO.OdU and the to
tal deficit, including Panama ex
penditures, red need to almost $2,ooo,
000 on all accounts, practically the
amount it was a year ago.
The year closes with about $86,000,
000 in the general fund and a working
balance of $34,000,000 in the treasury
offices. Thl Is considered by treas
ury officials a remarkable showing in
spite of more than $130,00 1,000 having
been advanced out of ordinary funds
for the canal construction. The show
ing seems to sustain Secretary Mac
Veagh's declaration that the treasury
would be able to keep an even keel
until congress passed legislation to al
low an issue of securities upcm the
plans he had laid down.
Would Issue Bonds.
Such a plan as Mr. MacVeagh and
Senator Alcirich has so far worked out
contemplates the issue of $50,000,000
or $100,100,000 or Panama bonds, not
to be available for national bank cir
culation and at a rate of interest high
enough to make them attractive to
Investors. Such a plan promises to
develop into legislation when congress
settles down to work.
Not only do the working balance
and the general fund show their
strength after the six months' strain,
but the ordinary deficit for the fiscal
year has been actually reduced. The
close of the first mouth of the fiscal
year found the cash drawer out some
$9,000,000 on ordinary accounts. The
first half of the year closes with that
reduced to $ti,000,000, although it has
been as high as $14,000,000 within that
time. Close check on expendituies
with added receipts in some quarters,
which, however, have probably? been
offset by decreases in others, have
gradually worn it down.
The working balance Is now $4,000,
000 better than the close of the first
month's business found it and when
it is considered that several times
since the fiscal year began the ready
cash has sunk as low as $2ii,000.0oo
and the general fund as low as $84,
000,000. the present condition gives
satisfaction to those treasury officials
who have been predicting that the
government's finances would right
themselves in the face of an abnormal
drain.
Possibilities in Future.
The important possibilities, how
eve r, are to be reckoned with during
the next six months in any study of
the ha in ma I finances. The first is
the decision of the supreme court in
the corporation tax cases. Should that
be adverse to the government the
treasury would be called upon to pay
out 137.000.000. That would be met
by an immediate issue of 3 per cent
certiflcates of indebtedness to run one
year
The second Is that the reclamation
service may call for $10,000,000 for
works In the west That would be met
by an issue of bonds already author
ized, but the treasury cannot issue the
bonds until it has paid out the money.
The expenditure of the ISO.OOO.OOO will
no lie in a lump and the treasury
will have to pay it out in comparative
ly small sums.
The issue of Panama securities at a
rate of interest which will altra.'t In
realtor! and supply funds without in
fiating the present I as s of national
bank currency is the next big move
