NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—"I propose personally to test my flying machine ¢ next spring and I am confident that I shall be able to soar through the air from my home in Newark to my office at 5 Nassau street, New York, | with the greatest .of ease. Within | | twelve months we will all be able | to fiy.” | John P. Holland, the wizard of sub- marine boat construction, made the above declaration to-night. “When I say that we all will be us- ing flying machines within a year's | time,” continued Holland with a smile, “I mean that every one who cares to | do so can-be afforded the opportunity | through the use of aeroplanes and fly- ing machines. ““Dirigible balloons and the combination aeroplane and balloon navigated by | Knabenshue over New York will never | | become practicable for ordinary aerial | navigation because of the gas bag neces- sery to sustain them in their flight. There too much resistance to the air in the | gas balloons, and they will shortly be done away with. In their placf will be ibstituted the aeroplanes and flying ma- °s. The aeroplane with gasoline mo- | tors will be used for the flight of more than one person and the transit of mails. ving machine will be used for one- | man aerial locomotion. “Observation of the working of na- | ture’s forces led to my discovery, and it is surprising to me that some one did not | | discover it before.

His manager, Touis Friedman, will leave for New York this morning to take what steps may be necessary. Fitz seemed in much better spirits vesterday. He was out and around and wore a smile that was almost happy at times. He still talks of the infidelity of the woman and all he did for her and declares he is through with the fair sex now for good and all. e Robbers Blow Open Safe. TOLEDO, O., Dec. 24.—A daring rob- bery and safe blowing job was com- mitted by seven bandits at the office of the Central avenue car barns of the Toledo Raflway and Lighting Com- pany at 2:45 o’clock this morning. The robbers secured about $700 and missed $7000 which was in the strong box of the safe, which they falled to force open.

ONE MORE: HEAD | sent on December 21 to the Attorney-Gen- | duties of the offi rived from Italy yesterday and is with her mother In the Rue Spoirtini. To-morrow she and her mother will start on an auto- mobile tour of the Riviera. “We have not been in america in three years,” said Miss Gilman, to-day, ‘“and Mr. Coi has not been here. There is no more likelihood of my marrylng Mr. Corey than of my marrying any other married man of my acquaintance. When I saw Mr. Corcy and his wife at dinner with a mutual friend they seemed negll- gent of each other. Many married people, when they get rich, frequently neglect cach other. The cause of domestic trou- | oles is more frequently found in the fam- ily circle than outside. I protest against the custom of mak- ing theatrical scapegoats for the domestic | troubles of millionaires. If wives have dif- ficulties with their husbands, lyric artists are rarely the cause. Our calling is too exacting to a.low us to be home-wreck- ers, even if we were so disposed. Neces- sarily, we are always before the public, and often are good looking, and jealous women like Mrs. Schwab lightly point the | finger of scorn at us. If these people knew how hard we work and,how little | sstul artists have for frivolity, they would realize that our thoughts are occupled with subjects other than their husbands. “Respectable artists should form a league for protection against the absurd attacks of unattractive married women.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 24.—Swift punish- ment is to be meted to all employes who | have criticised the personal affairs of W. | E. Corey of the steel trust. The first| head to drop into his basket is that of John A. Topping, president of the Ameri- can Sheet and Tin Plate Company, whose resignation as head of that concern came yesterday with the suddenness of a thun- derbolt and was accompanied by not a word of explanation. It is announced | that his place is to be filled immediately by Charles W. Bray, first vice president of the company, and that the appoint- ment has been made directly by the pres- ident of the steel trust. Topping is one of the heads of the steel corporation who expressed his disap- | proval of Corey’s conduct toward his wife and his relations with Mabelle Giiman. TR THE BISIET States Attorney at Omaha, Will Be Given Dismissal | OMAHA, Neb.,, Dec, 24.—The Omaha Bee to-morrow will announce that Irving F. Baxter will be summarily removed from the office of United States District Attorney for this district by order of the President. Baxter refused to confirm or deny the statement. Baxter, however, made public to-night a letter which he eral, in reply to one asking for his resig- nation. In his reply Baxter said: Having faithfully and honestly performed the hich T was appointed in April, 1004, for a four-vear term, and being in no way responsible for the sentence im- posed in the Richards and Cométock case, out of which the request for my resignation has come, 1 decline to restgn. While I am mind- ful of the President's power to summarily re- move me, I cannot under the circumstances recognize the justice of such act by tendering my resiznation. The removal of District Attorney Bax- ter is one of the results of the prosecu- tions started by the Government three years ago, of Nebraska cattlemen for il- tegally fencing the public domain. Bart- lett Richards and W. E. Comstock, two of the wealthiest cattlemen in the State, were indicted on the charge of unlaw- fully fencing about 22,000 acres of public land. They recently entered a plea of guilty and were fined $300 each by Judge ‘W. H. Munger and sentenced to six hours in the custody of the Unffed States Mar- shal. United States Marshal Mathews' deputy seized the prisoners to ~arry oul the latter part of the sentence, and the time is said to have been spent at he Omaha Club. The President is said to have been dis- satisfled with the resuits of the prosecu- tion, and week before last Marshal Ma- thews was removed and last week the resignation of District Attorney Baxter was asked for. | fects of the anestheti QOELL PLANS REW ATTACK Threatens to Make Revela- tions in Connection With | Campaign Contributions ATS ARE DEMOCR ELATED Believe the Republican Party in New York State Is to Be Rent in Twain by Feud R Spectal Dispatch to The Call, NEW YORK, Dec. —The Demo- crats are fostering the hope of a split in the New York State Republican par- ty ranks and are doing all they can to encourage the warring factions. The Democratic New York World says this morning: “Chairman Odell is preparing to launch another attack upon the Presi- dent and threatens to disclose how a certain large sum for campaign pur- poses was raised last year at the Presi- dent's personal reqiiest, and which will prove more startling even than the rev- elation of the political contributions made by the New York, Equitable and Mutual Life companies. This is to be followed by still other attacks reveal- ing inside fac to be in Od confidence assert that, before he is through with the Presi- dent, the Republican organization will be turned upside down. “Both sides apparently regard Wads worth's election to the Speakership as settled. They admitted yesterday that the eftort to create reaction against him upon score of his youth and Presidential interference had failed. Chairman Odell 18 expected back in town to-morrow to resume command of the Merritt forces. He was at Newburgh to-day and refused to comment on the Speakership.” WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—james W. Wadsworth Jr., the announced choice of | Governor Higgins for the Speakership of New York Assembly, was in confer- ence with President Roosevelt at the White House to-night. The conference was by appointment and Wadsworth re- mained for a half-hour with the Presi- dent. There was full discussion of the events w preceded and followed the selection of Wadsworth by the Gov- ernor his choice for party leader in the lower house. “The President w; the anxious to know all about the situation,” said Wadsworth. “1 gave him all the facts in the case, and so far.as I know there is nothing to add to what has already been said on the sub- ject. Neither the President, my father {nor I knew I was to be a candidate for the Speakership when I left here about a week ago for Albany. I reached there on Sunday, pledged to support Assembly- man Hooker for the position. It was after 1 arrived that I learned that Governor Higgins desired me to make a contest for the position. I am in the fight to stay, and 1 have overy confidence that I will win. There is to be no compromise.” Wadsworth sald he thought the Presi- dent's attitude was amply set forth in Representative Cook's statement, issued last week.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24.—Dr. Lobing- er, who was summoned to Hueneme on Saturday to attend former Senator Thom- as R. Bard, returned late to-night.

His father, also a prominent cattleman, reached his side as he was breathing his last. The case is one of the most mysteri- ous in Southwest Kansas. Monday night, December 18, was spent by Clar- ence Albright at the home of his father, five miles away. Early on Tuesday morning he rode to his own cattle ranch. An hour after his arrival he called the telephone operator and | asked the girl to tell his father that he was very ill, dying perhaps, and to urge him to hu to his side. The message was transmitted to the elder Albright, and the father started at once for the home of his son. The young- er man had lost consclousness before his | father arrived, and five minutes after his father reached him he was dead. The| written message was signed and evident- Iy had been the cattleman's last message before death. The stomach of the dead man was opened and disclosed the fact that death was due to carpolic acid poisoning. Since hardy frontiersmen began to fill | up the Kansas plains the Albright family has prospered, and In the years that have | passed they have made many enemies. | Petty quarrels have arisen, and there | have been troubles of a grave nature that threatened to disrupt the entire community in which they made their| home.
