On December 31, 1908, he created a new long-distance record, travelling seventy-seven miles in 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Meanwhile he had made records for flight with passenger and for height, astonishing the world with feats which today would not be remarkable featB if repeated because of the marvelous advance in the science of aviation.

Twenty-nine posts were represented, and some turned out no more than a corporal's guard. Fifty years after the guns thundered away at the stone sides of Fort Sumter the toial strength of the old fellows in line was just about enough to mail a small garrison half a regiment.

Threatening weather and the recent poor showing of the Superbas caused the smallest attendance that ever saw a Decoration Day morning game In this borough. Although they won, the Superbas gave a wild exhibition and escaped another beating only by the skin of their teeth. Kent pitched six great innings in which the slugging Bostonlans got two hits. Then, thinking he had set an unseemly precedent he exploded in the old familiar fashion. He allowed four hits, gave two bases on balls, one of them forcing in a run.

Ten Boston batters faced him. Kent was retired after that exhibition and Rucker assumed the burden. Nap had some luck, but he had little on the ball. The distinguishing feature of his regime was a prodigious wallop to left Robert W. Rose, Aid to Crand Marshal, Has Skull Fractured.

Washington, May 30 President Taft today sent a telegram to Arthur I. Vorys, Republican national committeeman for Ohio, declaring that while he does not need that State's six delegates at large to secure the Presidential nomination, he will not consider a compromise In the Ohio State convention. With President Taft's Influence and that of all the Taft political advisers back of him, Senator Burton will -leave Washington Saturday to take up the fight for control by the Taft forces of the Ohio Republican State convention, scheduled for early next week.

Although Colonel Roosevelt won a victory over the President In Ohio's primaries the Taft managers are confident they can dominate the State convention and add Ohio's six delegates at large to the Taft column. At a conference In which the President, Vice President Sherman, several members of tho Cabinet and other Taft leaders were present last night It was decided that Mr. Burton should go to Ohio and make the fight.

physicians, Drs. D. B. Conklin and Levi Spittler, maintained throughout the latter part of his sickness that he could not recover. AVhen the noted patient succumbed to the burning fever that had been racking his body for days and nights, he was surrounded by the members of his family, which included his aged father, Bishop Milton Wright; Miss Catherine Wright; Orville, the coinventor of the aeroplane; Reuchlin Wright and Lorln Wright.

All of the family reside in this city except Reuchlin, who lives in Kansas. The most alarming symptoms in tVrlght's sickness developed yesterday shortly before noon, when his fever suddenly mounted from 104 up to 106, and then quickly subsided to its former stage. At this Juncture of the crisis the patient was seized with chills and the attending physicians were baffled by the turn of events. Chills are unusual in a patient suffering from fever this high and the doctors at Wright's beside were puzzled. The condition of the aviator remained unchanged throughout the rest of the day and there was no Improvement up tntll last midnight.

Then Wright began to show an improvement and the watchers at his beside were reassured. After resting for a few hours after last midnight, Wright took a Budden turn for the worse, and Dr. D. B. Conklin was called.

The doctor arrived at 3:25 o'clock and learned that Wright had breathed his last a few minutes before. The noted patient was seized with typhoid on May 4 while on a business trip in the East. On that day he returned to Dayton from Boston and consulted Dr. Conklin, the family physician. He took to his bed almost immediately, and It was several days before his case was definitely diagnosed as typhoid.

But though ninst of their comrados afe sleeping in the cemeteries where, in ihe woids of Theodore O'Hara, "Glory guards with solemn round the bivouac of the dead." the ajipenrar.ee of the men who fought in the great war was the slgual for thunders of applause all along the marthlng route.

But it was the grizzled, white-haired men In Ihe carriages who hail the sympathy of the multitude, and when they came In view all the rest was forgotten and they got a reception which brought tears to their eyes. Reception at Hanover Club Marks Day's Beginning. The day's proceedings began with a reception at Ihe Hanover Club where Colonel Andrew Baird, president of that organization, received the guests and the reviewing ollli-ers at o'clock.

It became known today that four Brooklyn Democratic Senators who arc slated to be succeeded by other men when the nominations for Senator are made this fall are classed as candidates for Congress. They are Senators Barth S. Cronin, Felix Sanner, James H.

O'Brien and Lorlng M. Black, Jr. These Senators stood out against the nomination of Mc-Cooey for Public Service Commissioner before the Governor had decided on whom to appoint. Therefore the McCooey organization Is against them. Senator Thomas F.

Harden will probably be a candidate for Congress, also, because changed conditions In his district will prevent his obtaining a renomlnatlon to the Senate. Senator Cronin has had his eye on a seat In Congress for some years, and It Is probable he will obtain the nomination, Senator O'Brien wants to succeed Congressman Wilson and Is said to have a good chance, owing to his relationship to James P. Slnnott, the dominant leader In the East New York section. Senator Black, It Is figured, will not get the cdn-gresslonal nomination this year In his district, as he opposed the organization almost continually while at Albany.

went on. to get a little practice. Dr. Walter B. Gunnison gave them permission to use the auditorium of Erasmus Hall today and, twenty-five strong, they gathered In front of the gates this morning.

The janitor, Edward P. Mullln, was roused out of a sound sleep by the pounding of the students on the gate house doors. When he found out what they wanted he reminded them that he was "strong for Memorial Day" and slammed the gate shut again. The students held an Indignation meeting outside the gates In Flatbush avenue and decided to appeal to Congressman Redfield. Through his Intercession they were given permission to have their rehearsal today at the Midwood Club, and after posting a notice on the gates of the school reading "Rehearsal adjourned to Midwood Club," they went over to the clubhouse to begin their holiday's work.

The wedding was the climax of a romance that began not long after the aged bridegroom sought seclusion in the Adirondack Mountains after the death of his first wife, a little more than two years ago.

It was there he met Mrs. Hemphill, something over twenty-five years his Junior, who, apprised of his grief at the loss of his helpmeet, sought to comfort him. A friendship begun, then ripened Into love, and to-day defiance was hurled at the theories of Dr. Osier when Parr led his comforter to the altar. Despite the fact that he has passed the seventy-second milestone In life's Journey, Parr's appearance and bearing bello his advanced years.

That he Is alert of mind and keen-sighted was illustrated In a striking manner when he gave the slip to a camera man that awaited the arrival of the bridal party outside the hotel. Upon emerging from the kiosk at the Seventy-second street subway station, Parr and his then bride-to-be, accompanied by her son, E. W. Hemphill, strolled in the direction of the Hargrave. Suddenly he espied the nickel trappings of the cameras gleaming In the sunshine, from afar down the street, and straightway he mapped out a plan of action to thwart the photographers.

After a council of war, Mrs. Hemphill's son advanced first and entered the hotel without arousing the slightest suspicion as to who he was. A few minutes later his mother, attired in a handsome blue, broadcloth tallormade traveling gown, sauntered along in a leisurely fashion. There was a little scowl on her face, and as brides, or brides-to-be seldom scowl, the artillery was outwitted. Then Parr hove In sight, walking nonchalantly and twirling a cane.

He was taken for one of the many spectators of the Memorial Day parade that swarmed through the street, and so he escaped.

May 30 President Taft, who presented the gold medals granted by Congress to Wilbur Wright and his brother Orville. and who had frequently seen Mr.

Wright fly, today dictated the following statement: "I am very sorry that the father of the new science of aeronautics Is ijead and that he has not been permitted to live to see the wonderful development that Is sure to follow along the primary line which he laid down. He deserves to stand with Fulton, Stephenson and Bell." Wilbur Wright's Distinguished Career. Wilbur Wright never learned a trade. He never attended a technical school. What he learned he "picked up." What he picked up and turned into inventions has startled the world.

He died at scarcely six weeks the age of 46 years, a very young man when compared with Edison and other contemporary geniuses. In those forty-five years he and his brother, Orville, became the recognized leaders In the art of frlng. 1 Aerial navigation became their hobby In their boyhood days. They studied all the Smithsonian Institute publications telling of dying and then decided to attempt the construction of an airship of their own. The first problem, which was based on failure of flyers who were their seniors In experience, they solved when they put together the mechanical means to establish equilibrium.

The Orphans' Automobile Day Association Is making arrangements to transport all the children to the city's principal recreation resort in automobiles.

These automobles will be provided by private owners and the manufacturers of the different types of cars. But when the fact is considered that the Juvenile guests on that day will number thousands, the association to successfully carry out Its plan must necessarily make a public appeal for the temporary use of SB many cars as It can get. It Is for that reason that they are seeking the aid of every private owner of an automobile in thiB city.
