WASHINGTON. Sept. ll.-'Aeroplane
built to carry kx or seven passengors ran
now be built. Fa!d Orville Wright today
In rpeaklng of lh observation which he
hns made (luring; hie flight and hie experi
ment. "There t, of rnuree. a limit to tho
h'bc to which nrrnpt.ine ran be built with
the present knowledge of aerial flight. It
will not be long before some aviator will
ho able to loop the loop In the air. In fact,
a' me may do It without Intending to. Our
machine 1 perfectly safe, the only danger
being In the wh.v we handle It. The machine
la all right, but Its success depends upon
the operator."
The chief plga,il office of the army re
ceived a telegram today from A. M.
Herring, who Is under contract to deliver
an aeroplane at Kort Myer, for which he
will receive IWK) If the same condition
which Orville Wright will have to fulfill
are satisfactorily accomplished. Mr. Her
ring asked for an extension of thirty day
In which to do a .littlu shop work on his
machine. He says It is all ready, but that
h would like to have the extra time In
which to complete a few details. Mr.
Herring was originally to deliver his
machine on August 13, but was granted an
extension of thirty days at his request and
Us machine should have beerr at Fort
Mver by' next Monday. It Is very likely
that the secretary of war will grant Mr.
Herring's request as it would be Imprac
ticable to condurt the tests of both the
Wright brothers and the Herring aeroplanes
at the same time.
Since making his record-breaking flights
at Fort Myer Orville Wright has received
numerous telegrams and letter from
amusement managers and others, making
offers to him to make public flight.
"I'm not In that sort of business," said
Mr. Wright.

Aviator Bar Wrights' Feat Mark
IVeTT Epoch.
FARIS. Sept. 11. Expert writers on avia
tion today devote columns In the newspa
pers to the Importance of Orville Wright's
flying feats nt Fort Myer and liken the
effect produced throughout the world by
this masterful demonstration to the circling
of the Eiffel tower by Santos-Dumont In
1900. With practical unanimity they hall
the Fort Myer performance as marking the
definite conquest of the air by man. A
mujorlty of the writers think that it Is
now only a question of a short time before
the Wright or ome other aeroplanlst will
win the London Daily Mall' prize of ISO,
000 for a flight from London to Manches

HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 11. (Special.)
Yesterday afternoon at the court house
in this city occurred a meeting of Ne
braska county Judges. They gatht red
from every section of the state In response
to a call from Judge F. L. Carrlco of
Minden, who desired a conference with Ills
brother Judges over the chaotic condition
of the probate fee system and the many
Irregularities and crudities In the practice
of these courts. There Is no manner of
educational or legal qualification for the
Nebraska county Judge. It was to initiate
a movement looking toward the eradication
01 mesa and many other probate evils
that the Judges met, organized and laid
plans for a campaign of education that
they hope and believe will result at an
early date In much useful legislation.
F. L. Carrlco of Minden was elected
chairman and R. C. Roper of David City,
secretary-treasurer. The following com
mittees were appointed:
Resolution Judge W. R. Fulton' of
Geneva. R. C. Roper of David Citv and
H. E. gpafford of Beatrice.
lor Correcting Error and Irregular
ities in Statute Relating to Fees Judges
George Losey of Hloomlngton 1enlle of
Omaha and J. C. Moore of McCook.
On Jurisdiction and Codification of Pro
bate Law Judges Robert J. Stenson of
Fremont, O. K. Shelborn of Alma, W. R.
Fulton of Geneva, J 1'. Cosgrave of Lin
coln and H. K. Spafford of Reatrlce.
On Consideration of Methods for Rala'ng
the Standard and Improving the Qualifica
tion of Judges Judges W. R. Fulton of
Geneva, I. W. Kdsim of Red Cloud and J.
B. Skinner of Hebron.
Unable to be present. Judge Leslie of
Onyiha sent as his representative Hon. D.
L. Johnson of that city. Mr. Johnson, who
has made a specialty cf probate practice
and record titles, discussed! these subjects
Instructively. The meeting then resolved
Itself into a sort of round table discus
sion of the many phases of probate prao
tlce susceptible to 4mprovement.
While all agreed upon the Importance of
railing the qualification of Judge, It waa
the sense of the meeting that It would be
both unjust and unwise to limit the selec
tion of Judges to the ranks of regularly ad
mitted and practicing attorneys. It Is well
known that a large number of the most
successful county Judges have acquired
their equipment In the practical school of
experience. Many of these are men of ripe
experltncei and excellent Judgment and
nothing could be gained by depriving the
public, of their service. The county Judges
will ask the. next legislature to limit the
election cf candidate for that office to
one of two classes. To be eligible, the can
didate must be a lawyer, or ono who ha
occupied the position of county Judge. It
may- necessary to exempt from the pro
visions of this proposed measure the few
sparsely settled counties in the western
part of the state, where no attorney has
U, .-11 tod. Many Judges mentioned the dif
ficulty they experienced In construing wills
carelessly and ignorantly drawn by men
totally unlearned In legal phraseology.
There are still said to be a few Judges In
the state who habitually violate the statute
prohibiting them from practicing as at
torneys In their own courts. There are
also said to be a number of others who
permit the filing of pupers not drawn by
those who are legally qualified to prepare
tfiem. The Judges loanlfested general In
terest In the revision of our fee system,
Which they characterized as vague, in
definite, uncertain and altogether unsatis
factory. In some instances they are almost
comiellel to guess at some of the Items,
and if a mistake Is made, they are liable
to pay a heavy fine and. furthermore, to
be reviled, persecuted and despKefully
used.
At 2 o'clock In the afternoon of Tuesday,
November IT, Hift, ihe county Judges will
meet In adjourned sessioii at the Lindell
hotel at Lincoln, Neb., at which time it
hoped that every county Judge in the slate
will bo present.

cumseh, who has been chairman of the
board for ten consecutive years, has been
elected field superintendent for Nebraska

sition for the years of 1904. 1905 and l!KH.
but falling health forced htm to give up the
work at the time. He will take up the new
duties at once and will continue to reside
In Tecumseh for the present.
TKCUMSF.H It seems at the time, th?
member of the Baptist church voted tn
accept the resignation of the pastor, Rev.
F. M. Sturdevant, recently tendered, the
question a submitted to vote was not
understood bv them and they voted quite
contrary to their wishes. The matter has
received a reconsideration at the hands
of the church members and they Imve
voted not to accept the resignation nf Rev

tended the pastor a call for another year's
service. It Va quite probable Rev. Mr.
Sturdevant will accept.

of conducting the Chautauqua as a money
making scheme. Henry Flshbiick. W. H.
