June 12.—Officials S' 4 of the navy department admitted 4 f today that they have received Sr 4 information that in every naval 4 4 yard and arsenal In Janan work 4 4 is being pushed with full forces 4 ■y day and night. Little is known S' y as to tlie details of the naval ex- y y pansion program on which Japan S' y is working, hut it is believed to -f ♦ be extensive and to aim at the S' y possibility of a conflict with the y y United States. The state depart- S' y ment is said to be greatly con- ♦ y cerned about the activity of the -♦ y opposition party in Japan, be- > y cause its fears that the opposl- S y tion or jingo element may before -f y long get into the saddle, which S y would greatly complicate the in- ♦ y ternational situation.

Every effort having failed to con* riuce the Japs of the friendly inten sions of the United States, this country play be expected hereafter to assume e Jew tone calculated to convince Japar. that America is prepared to make nc Sacrifice of self respect. ' Evidence of this change of attitude Sorsists in the fact that there has beer Published through an important and Conservative press association a repor’ >f something very like a conspiracj between Japanese in the United States tnd the Japanese progressive partj jo force the ha/id of the United States •.nd to extort from this country conces ■ions which are considered beyond th< Bounds of possibility. It is pointed oul (hat without at least semi-official au jhority this remarkable story would not have been given publicity as i. Fas. The publication, under the circum stances, indicates a sharp change 01 vttitude of this government. It is ■onstrued as a sharp manner of indi tating to Japan that a less trucu lent policy on her part will conduce tc imicable relations. It is felt in diplo matic circles that the Japanese have ixaggerated the recent brawls in Sar. Vrancisco out of proportion to theii ligniflcanee. Dates Back to Portsmouth. After the treaty of peace of Ports mouth, Japanese disappointment cul minated in anti-American riots in To pic, which reached to the extent 01 Americans being stoned in Tokio. It was a more striking manifestatior ,f hostility than anything recentlj lone in San Francisco. Yet this gov ernment, recognizing in Japan a powei imply able to enforce peace within it! •wn cities, made no representations tc fokio and did not even communicate vith the American ambassador at thai capital. In contrast to this Americar. »ttitude is that of Japan this time San Francisco’s internal condition! ire such as to justify allowances ret despite these San Francisco trou bles have been magnified into an inter lational affair. More than this aomi »f the Japanese diplomatic representa lives in this country have been em ploying a tone far from diplomatic. The recent suggestion by F’rance thai tier good offices could be relied upor io assist in adjusting the relations be tween this country and Japan, while -eceived with all proper courtesy wai pot especially cheering to this govern aient which had persisted in refusing lo maximize the friction with Japan. —•*— NO JAP CONSPIRACY, SAYS CHARLES TAKABASHI Statlet. June 12.—Charles T. Taka iiashi, vice president of the Orienta. trading company, of this city, whe vent to Washington as representative tf the Japanese on the Pacific coast tc confer with Ambassador Aoki on the proposed mutual exclusion treaty, said regarding a dispatch from Washing ton reporting an alleged conspiracy tc overthrow the present administration • There is no conspire y; there can not possibly be an alliance between the Japanese of the Pacific northwest and the progressive party in Japan, for the veason that our sympathies and sup port in the west have always been with the present liberal party, which L ■composed of the old constitutional and government parties, and which has the following of Saionji Katsura, the ex premier, the man who carried the country safely through, the war with Russia, and Marquis Ito.” CHICAGO WOMEN ALSO WEAR FALSE EYELASHES Chicago, June 12.—Those long lovely eyelashes you see upon some young women and admire greatly may have cost $15 or $20 a set. Jules Crest, a State street hairdresser says artificial eyelashes,which have beer made the subject of cable messages from London, where they appear to bej popular among motorists, were intro duced in Chicago from Paris a year ago, and there is a demand for them 1 by society and also by actresses. j They are glued on the eyelids so ’they never show. With care a good set will last a sea son or longer. They cost all the way from 515 to $20, according to shade and quality. MAY BAR CARUSO FROM UNITED STATES Chicago, June 12.—Enrico Caruso, I the gteat tenor, however much he de sires to keep his $200,000 contract with Herr Conreid, may never he permitted to set tout upon I'nited Slates soil again. It in asserted the immigration officials will not permit him to land when he returns in October. The offi cials say Caruso comes clearly within the meaning of "an undesirable alien” as defined it? section 2 of the act of 1003. FRENCH WINE GROWERS REVOLT; OFFICIALS QUIT Paris. June 12.—The revolt of the vine growing population in south France, which goes into effect today, 5s causing considerable apprehension in government circles. By the terms of the resolutions by which half a mil lion people in Montpelier yesterday swore with uplifted hands to execute, the city, town and eommmunal offi cials must resign and the inhabitants must refuse to pay taxes unless parli ament affords relief. Several officers resigned last night, and if this example is followed a condition bordering on anarchy will result. The civil govern ment will cease to reign in four de partments. The situation is all the more grave because it constitutes the unanimous protest of the population, being unac companied by, disorder and furnishes the government with no pretext to re sort to force. Marcellan Albert, lender of the move ment, was until a couple of months agd an obscure wine grower in Argeliers. Now he is acclaimed as the “redeem er,” and seems to hold the south of France in the hollow of his hand. The government’s bill providing for the suppression of the manufacture of fraudulent wlnecame up in the chamber of deputies this afternoon, but beyond passing this bill the government can do little, all the experts who have investi gated conditions having found that the real depression is caused by overpro duction, for wrhieh even the rigorous suppression of fraud will be no remedy. The only solution, they report. Is the abandonment of much wine acreage in favor of regular farm crops. A MISSOURI NURSE SAYS DOCTOR BIT HER SC. Joseph, Mo., June 12.—Miss Kath erine Boyle, chief accuser of Dr. C. It. Woodson, superintendent of the state insane asylum here, in connection with charges of immoral conduct made against him to Governor Folk, has made a written statement that says: "While Dr. Woodson was trying to kiss me and I was trying to pull away from him he bit the blood out of my lower lip." The board of managers is here at the request of Governor Folk to investi gate the charges. Miss Boyle Is 25, pretty, of excellent repuatton, and for six years was a nurse In the asylum. "When I was on night duty In ward 10, six years ago, Dr. Woodson used to come into the ward to see me of even ings. He came in ostensibly to kill rats, but In reality to make improper proopsals to me,” she says, “by actual count he came In for fourteen nights in succession, peading, begging and kiss ing and in fact, until I thought I could endure it no longer.” In her written statement she alleges that there were improper relations be tween Dr. Woodson and a woman em ployee of the asylum. ROBERTS SAYS PASTORS BELONG TO THIRD SEX Salt Lake City, June 12.—A sensa tional feature of the controversy which has been waged between the ministers and the Evangelical churches and the Mormon priesthood was an address delivered in the tabernacle by Elder Brigham H. Roberts, once excluded from congress because of his polyga mous practice. He spoke in reply to an open lettei published by the Ministerial associa tion. Elder Roberts frankly declared that the church had surrendered not one iota of its belief in the principles of polygamy, but countenanced no po lygamous marriages while they were forbidden by law. Of himself he said: • High Officials Approve. “I stand exactly where I did ter years ago, namely, that though the church proclaimed against the con tinuation of this relationship, though the state nroclaimed against it, nei ther the church nor the state may ab solve the moral obligations I am un der or release me from that mora: duty.” Mr. Roberts characterized the Chris tian ministers as belonging to a third sex, neither male nor female, and saic they were better qualified for pink tea* than statesmanship. All of the higl officials of the church, Including Presi-. dent Smith, were present and tacitlj indorsed the address of Mr. Roberts as an utterance of the church body. 3ILLY SUNDAY GETS $3,148; CONVERTS 1,024 Des Moines, la., June 12.—For foui weeks work $3,148 was given to Billy Sunday for the revival at Knoxville.

Chicago, June 12.—A repetition of the packing house teamsters’ strike live years ago, which was attended by more violence than any labor trouble of sim ilar duration in Chicago, has become a possibility. The stock yards drivers have voted almost unanimously to go out next Saturday unless their demands are granted by the packers. This action followed reports that the requests for an increase in wages of 4 cents an hour has been refused by all the large packing concerns. _, ^ ,_i HAU CONFESSION STORY NOW DENIEL Chicago, June 12.—Late Saturday afternoon, too late for the-evening pa pers of that ilay, the Associated Press bulletined papers taking its service.

Russell, farmer. Boise, Idaho, June 10.—Counsel for William D. Haywood continued their attack on the testimony of Hary Or ihard at both sessions of the trial Fri day and centered their strongest as saults on the events beginning with the explosion in the Vindicator mine, and ending with the earlier meetings between the witness and the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners In Denver. To the extent that traffic with "the Dther side” in the war of labor and capital in Colorado was discreditable they succeeded in discrediting the witness. In Deal With Detective. Taking up the admission that Or chard made in direct examination that he had been treacherous to his com rades in Cripple Creek by tipping off a train wrecking plot, they developed the fact that Orchard entered the employ of D. 0. Scott, who had charge of the railway detectives. Or chard said that with Scott he had met K. C. Starling, a detective in the em ploye of the Mine Owners' association, and that Scott had paid his expenses ?nd accompanied him to Denver on the trip when first he had met Moyer and Haywood. He said that he had agreed to report to Scott, but that he was lying to him; never intending to make reports to him and never did make reports. The defense also tried to show that because he stood in with the other side Orchard was never molested by the militia in Crip ple Creek during the strike. Orchard admitted that Scott had told him that If the militia Interfered with him he was to send for him, and that the militia never did interfere with him or search his house. Orchard said that he went to Scott first because he had not been paid for his work at the Vindicator mine, and he was jealous because he was given hard work, like the Vindicator Job, while other men got the simple task of train wrecking by displacing a rail. Pave Way for Contradiction. The defense confronted Orchard with | Easterly and Owney Barnes, and paved ' the way for the contradiction by them of the story told by Orchard, and sev eral times during the day paved the way for the controverting of his testi mony on material points. Orchard stood the strain and test very well and held tenaciously to his story. Suddenly toward the close of the day the defense took up the trip Orchard made to southern Colorado with Moyer in the early part of 1904, and showed that Moyer feared to go south unguard ed because "mine owners’ official thugs" had beaten off innocent union men, and he sent for Orchard to aid In protecting hint. It was agreed that they should carry “cutoff shotguns” and sit in the center of the railway cars so that If they were attacked they could ucicmi uicmr'civca. Attorney Richardson in questioning the witness made it very clear that this had been a perfectly straight proposi tion, “free from any fake." Counsel flared up several times dur ing the day, and in the last passage at arms Prosecutor Hawley said that Richardson told a falsehood when he intimated that Orchard was a fixed wit ness. The trial goes on at 9:30 o'clock to day, when cross examination of Orch ard, who has been on the stand for three days will be conluded. Attorney Richardson piled Orchard with rapid fin questions. Orchard ad mitted that while he was in the Idaho mining country he became quite a gambler, playing poker most of the time. He was asked how he voted the day the unions decided to go down n> Wardlock and blow the Bunker Hill Sullivan mine mill, and said lie did not remember. Richardson then wanted witness to name all who attended the meeting. He gave the names of five or six, all he could recall at this time. The attorney next took the wliness through a description of the makeup of the train which toon the rioting miners to Wardner. Orchard said it was com posed of thirteen cars, some being freight and others passenger coaches. "Are you suie?" finally asked Rich ardson "that you were not in Burke or Mullan playing poke;- when this ex plosion occurred?” "I am sure,” came the reply. "I lit one of the fuses which fired the pow der under tHe mill." 1 Richardson wanted to know the I names of all who helped unload the powder at Wordner and who helped place It under the mill. Orchard gave several. "Did you know Haywood, Moyer and Rettibone at this time?" "No, sir.” "They were not with you at Ward r.er when the mill was blown up were they?” "No. sir. Not that I know of." Orchard said he left Idaho after blowing up tlie Runker Hill and Sulli van mill to avoid arrest. He was taken over the years from 1S39 to 1902 in de tal1, expia'ning where he worked, where \ he got his money and where he went from time to time. Orchard said he worked on an nverag > of ten or eleven months a year tn the mines of Utah. Nevada and Arizona. He gambled part of the time. Orchard traced his Journeying* from place to place. The attorneys wanted to know how much money the witness ha I at each place. Orchard supplied the information to the best of his recol lection, admitting that a large percent age of Ills wages went over the gam bling table. He seldom remained more than from otic to three months In any mining camp Up to the time lie went to Colorado in 1902 Orchard said lie never heard of Haywood, Poltlbone, i Moyer and Simpkins. As an Ore Thief. Orchard said he did not hear of Steunenberg’s action In suppressing the t.’ouer d’ Alone troubles until sometime after he left Idaho. He said it was his own initiative which took him to Colorado, and no one connected with the Western federation had urged his going. At, that time. July or August, 1902. there was no trouble in Cripple Creek. Arriving In Colorado he went to work In a mine and renewed his i membership in the federation, joining j the local headed by W. P. Davis, who I had been in charge of the party which blew the Hunker Hill and Sullivan mill. Attorney Richardson askod the wit ness repeatedly about ills gambling experiences, laying much stress on tills. When the federation ordered the strike at Cripple Creek in August, 1908, Orchard said he went out with the other union men. The strike commit tee was composed of W. R. Davis, Sherman Parker and a man mimed Kenniston. Orchard said he had heard 1 that Parker and Kenniston were dead. Richardson next took the witness through his “high grading" experiences in the Vindicator mine. ' When you said the other day that you had high graded In the Vindicator inlne during the strike, you simply meant that you were an ore thief, didn’t you 7" I (loll l Kiiuw w niii .ywu c:«m u, ir I piled Orchard. “We took high class ore out secretly, and sold It.” "You often made as high as $25 or $30 a day, didn't you, from high grad ing?" "Yes.” Orchard said he also "high graded" while at work in the Vindicator before the strike. Murdered Fifty for $200. Orchard said there were about fifty non-union men working in the Vindi cator mine. He believed the touching off of a carload of powder would have meant death to all. "And you proposed to murder fifty men for $200?” • "1 proposed to touch oft the powder,” i said Orchard. Orchard said Moyer and Haywood ! came to Cripple Creek during the strike ! and made speeches urging that no overt j acts of any soit be committed, saying j they would surely be charged up to the j federation. They cautioned the strikers against drinking and gambling. Haywood said ! any violence would react on the union I anil was not to be countenanced. | Two months later the matter of blow ing up the mine was agajn taken up. "Who suggested It this time?" "Sherman, Parker and Davis." Orchard said the plan this time was to attach a pistol to a liftbar at the [ seventh level. The cage would lift the bar and discharge the pistol Into a box of giant caps, which in turn would fire the powder. Orchard said experiments were con ducted In an abandoned shaft. Easterly told him he could not he mixed up with the explosion, although he assisted in conducting the experiments. For the second attempt on the mine Orchard j said he was promised $500. Fearful Confessions. Orchard yesterday confessed that as a member of the mob that wrecked the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill In the Couer d’AleneH lie lighted one of the fuses that carried fire to the giant explosive: confessed that he set the j death trap in the Vindicator mine at I Cripple Creek that blew out the lives : of Superintendent McCormick and ; Foreman Beck; confessed that be | cause he had not been paid for his first attempt at violence In the Vindi cator mine h« had been treacherous to his associates by warning the man agers of the Florence and Cripple Creek railway that there was a plot to blow up their trains; confessed that he cruelly fired three charges of buckshot into the body of Detective Lyte Gregory, of Denver, killing him instantly; confessed that for days he stalked Governor Peabody about Den ver, waiting a chance to kill him; con fessed that he and Steve Adams set and discharged the mine under the depot at Independence and confessed that falling in an attempt to poison Fred Bradley, of San Francisco, he blew him and his house up with a bomb of gelatine. Orchard swore that after his visit to Denver, when he got the money for killing McCormick and Beck, he was constantly in communication and in the pay of either Haywood, Moyer, Pettibone, Simpkins or Davis; that one ! or all of them suggested his various | crimes, and that at all meetings had after each crime his acts had been i warmly commended. ORCHARD DETAILS ACTUAL KILLING OF STEUNENBERG Boise, June 10—It was when witness Orchard brought his long narrative ilown to the place where ex-Governor i Steunenberg. afterward killed, entered into the events Orchard was relating, j that the interest in the court room I became most intense. “We tried to locate Governor Steun : enberg at once,” said Orchard, "but j could not. We went out to his res I idence several times and then finally i saw him in the Saratoga hotel on Sunday evening. In the meantime we had fixed up the bomb, so Simpkins and I took the bomb out at once and J set it under the sidewalk with a string 1 stretched across the walk so that j when he struck it it would upset the ! bottle of sulphide acid. Wo went | back to the hotel to wait, but heard : nothing. After two or three hours we | went out and got the bomb. We found someone had broken the string but had not upset the bottle. We hid the bomb in some weeds. The bomb was made in a wooden box just j big enough to hold ten pounds of powder. "Next day Simpkins concluded he had better not stay around any longer, for he had seen several persons who knew him. He thought it might go hard with me if 1 was caught in his company. He said I had better re main and linish the job alone. This was some time In November, 1905. "Simpkins all this time was a mem ber of the executive board of the Western Federation of Miners. Gun Was Balky. “After he went away I tried to catch Governor Steunenberg down town some night so I could slip out and plant the bomb for him near to his home. He was out of the city a large part of the time. Once I came to Boise, but could not find him here. I returned to Caldwell and stopped at the Saratoga hotel, carrying the bomb in iny grip. I finally located Governor Steunenberg on Christmas night, 1905, and. taking the suwed off pum-> shotgun Pettibone had given mo, I went out to his house. I heard tho governor coming and tried to get the two parts of the gun to gether, but had not succeeded before m> passed into the house. I then went ■down town again. “The next time I saw tho governor ho was sitting in the Saratoga hotel. I went up to my room and got the bomb and hurried out to the Steunenberg house and planted the bomb by the gate. I then started buck to the hotel and when about two blocks away 1 met Steunenberg on his way home. I ran as fast as 1 could toward the ho tel. but had not reached It when the explosio i oeeuired. “I went to my r«x>m to do up some acl 1 and giant caps and things in a | package. As I was doing so a giant cap in my pocket exploded and tore one side of my eoat out. 1 was .afraid everybody In the hotel had heard the explosion. I waited a while, but there was no Indication that anyone heard , what had occurred in my room. I went 1 down stairs and remained at the hotel i until Monday, when I was arrested.” Doubly Married. Under cross examination Orchard. ' said he had one child. He said he j once lived in Detroit, but denied ever having been in Utica, N. Y. "You left one wife In Canada?'* ” Yes.” "And you have another wife in Colo l-Ado?*’ “Yes.” “You are a bigamist?” “T don’t know what you call it.” “You were married twice and have i two wives?” “Yes.” Richard son was very aggressive with the witness, hurling his questions at i him in volleys and In tones harsh and rasping. Orchard said he ran away from Canada with another man’s wife, go ing to Nelson. R. C. The woman’s name was Haftle Simpson. Orchard went into the restaurant business for a while. He then moved to Pilot Bay. i R. C., and ran a hoarding house. “You went by the name of Little, did you not?” “Yes, sir.” I n.mlin ..,1 C-l_ __ t_ _ u home from Pilot liny and he went to Spokane. "Which one got tired of the other first ?’’ "Neither,” said Orchard, amid laughter. “Did you desert her?" "No, she went back home.” In Spokane Orchard sold he ndoptet the name of Harry Orchard. From Spokane Orchard went to Wallace, Idaho, where he acquired a one-sixth interest in the Hercules mine, now largely owned by Ed Hover, the former president of the Western Federation of Miners. Boyce is reputed to be many times a millionaire. Orchard said he sold out his Interest In the mine in 1897 and bought out a wood yard at Burke, Idaho. Rapid Fire Queries. Orchard said he had borrowed some money on Ills mining stock before sell ing. Orchard said he remained lit the mining country until 1899. "You did not go away on the ocean to the Philippines or Honolulu?” "No, sir.” "But you told Pettlbone you made such a trip on a transport, did you not ?” "I may have; I won’t say positively that I did.” "Were you ever employed to watch and report things In the mining coun try?" "No, sir.” Richardson's questions flowed at Or chard in such rapid succession that the latter part of his answers were lost in the rattle of the new interrogation. Hawley objected on the part of the state and the court admonished the attorney not to cut off the witness. "Did you ever tell Pettlbone about burning a cheese factory and collecting the insurance?” "Yes.” "And that you had stolen the cheese and sold It prior to the Are?” "Yes.” "And that you had an altercation with your brother near Utica. N. Y., and had pitchforked him?*’ "Yes.” "Hold on Just a moment,” saH Sena tor Borah for the prosecution. "Mr. Orchard, please tell us the date of this conversation with Pettlbone so we can I connect it up with him." The attorneys for the defense were silent, evidently taken aback by the sudden move. “It was in 1904." said Orchard. MINERS’ UNION CHIEF IS HELD TO BE A SPY Denver, June 10—A sensational open ing of the convention of the Western Federation of Miners Is promised by the delegates should Harry Riddell, president of the Eureka. Utah, union and an elected delegate to the conven tion, put in an appearance. The credentials of Riddell have been received and refused at the hands of the federation in this city, and Rid dell is said to have declared that he is coming to Denver Monday to flght against being put out of the conven- ■ tion. The charge against Riddell by the federation is that he has been employed two years as a spy for a well known detective agency and has used his high ofltee to aid in getting after the so called "inner circle." Riddell was formerly a member of union No. 63 at Tellurlde, and during it is alleged by the federation officials that he received $7,000 for services from the detective agency referred to. STEUNENBERG’S WIDOW FORGIVES HARRY ORCHARD Walla Walla, Wash., June 10—In an interview Mrs. Steunenberg, widow of the ex-governor of Idaho, says she hopes Harry Orchard will be given an opportunity to lead an honest life. BIG MINER FIGHTS TO SEE HARRY ORCHARC Boise, June 10—A lively occurrence took place in the court house this morning before the opening of the trial. A big, loose-jointed miner from Silver City, anxious to see Orchard, sought admission to the court room an hour before the opening. At the bottom stairway he was stopped by three sheriff’s deputies, forming outer guard. The visitor resented the questions put to him and undertook to break through the lines. Jack Wooden, a big deputy, tackled the stranger who made a live ly response. Wooden, however, finally landed his man on the lawn. He was allowed to go, but not into the court room. 4* curlew alts 4 YEARS, GOES 3,000 4 4 MILES TO WED 4 4 Worcester, Mass., June 10-—A 4 4 romance beginning more than 4 4 twenty years ago and including 4 4 a journey of more than 3,000 4 4 miles will culminate in the mar- 4 4 liage jf Alice Maud De Silva, 4 4 of Spain, to Neil N.

Chicago, June 11.—"I could not sleep at home after mamma died and so I ran to the cemetery and went to bed on her grave. It was awful cold, but I slept better near mamma than I did in bed at home." Christopher Hodklnson, 11. with pinched face and solemn mien was ar rested today for sleeping on his moth er's grave at Oak Ridge cemetery. When questioned by Captain O’Brien at detective headquarters the youngster snkl his mother died last February and he missed her so that he overcame his fear of gravestones and ghostly marble shafts and "visited" her almost nightly. MILLIONAIRE STOLEN BY GIRL HELD INSANE Lebanon, Ind.. June 11.—Assailing the theory that the morality standard for men and women should be different. Judge Artman has rendered a forceful decision In the case of Millionaire George Rhodlus, who It was claimed a while ago was kidnaped by Elma Dare and later married to her when he did not know what ho was doing. Rhodlus and the Dare girl were caught In the eust at the behest of relatives of the rich old man, and brought back here. Judgo Artman, ren dering his decision, said: "I have no sympathy whatever with the theory that Rhodlus’ marriage to Elma Dare Is, because of her character, an evidence of Insanity. For years they had been living to gether In moral pollution, and if the marriage Is really his act It does not theory that George Rhodlus, under such circumstances, could or should have settled down and procured for a wife a pure and virtuous woman Instead of a woman of his own class, is founded upon a false and perverted notion of he proper ethics of human life. "The theory that the woman : must remain down and that he : must rise to higher grounds of : society. Is a delusion." : “There never was a fallen woman without a fallen man. and that proper sense of Justice should accord to her the right of rising with the man. "It Is my conclusion, ^however, that Rhodlus never married Elma Dare at nil, but that he was married to her through the machinations of an In dianapolis lawyer, an Indianapolis of ficer, the woman herself and the night clerk at the Circle Park hotel." The Judge held Rhodlus of unsound mind and appointed James M. Berry 1.111, of Indianapolis, as guardian. MAKES SPEECH WHILE SOARING OVER BOSTON Boston, June 11.—Boston looked up and saw, sailing high over the build ings In the center of the city, Its first airship. The craft appeared to be heading earthward, and there was a rush of many thousands In the direc tion it was going. It descended on the common, and there its navigator was learned to be Lincoln Beachey, 20 years old. Beachey had come ftom Revere beach, seven miles away. In twenty-eight minutes. The trip had been smooth sailing, but Beachey had less luck on the return. Journey, and after several close calls he wound up in the waters of the har bor. Twice his motors broke down on the trip back—once shortly after he had crossed Charles river, and again after he had got buck into midair after a descent at Winthrop to avoid going to sea. ^ The second time he was carried sev eral miles In the direction of Boston light. Then he got temporary control of the machine again and sailed over Nahant and, finally, a mile off Revere Beach, he dropped Into the water.
