BROOKLYN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1909. Brooklyn Manhattan. TWO CENTS Elsewhere. WRIGHT FLIES OVER THE BIG FLEET OF WARSHIPS Perfect Trip From Governor's Island to Grant's Tomb and Back. WILL FLY AGAIN FOR PRIZE Soars Through the Air as Gracefully as: a Bird and Reaches a Height of 400 Feet-New York's Millions Wildly Cheer Him-Curtiss Will Not Fly.

pita Wilbur Wright made good his promise this morning to show New Yorkers some real flying. He plans to better the morning's performance in an official flight this afternoon, which will keep him in the air an hour. To the wild tooting of river whistles and the cheers thousands and thou'sands of people, the aviator flew from Governor's Island, where he keeps his big, gray bird in its yelow plank airdrome to Grant's Tomb 4th: back. Het passed the big steel craft anchored in the river. The man-o'-war's men looking up from the bright decks might have seen in the slender poised thing flying them a portent of a new kind of warfare.

The morning flight was made between 9 and 10 o'clock. At noon to-day flags from all signal showed propitious weather and Wright was tinkering at his biplane Lo get it ready for an official flight between 2 and 4 o'clock. The distance of the morning flight was about twenty miles. and the flight, which began at 9:53. lasted exactly 33 minutes and 33 seconds, according to M.

J. Hammer, the Secretary of the Aeronautical the Hudson-Fulton celebration. The trip up the river was made aiong the New York side, where Wright sald he found the wind strong and unexpectedly gusty. It was this fact that prevented from encircling Grant's Tomb. Instead he circled above the river made the return trip along the New Jersey stue.

The wind on of the river was much more to his liking, and Wright thinks his speed on the way back was easily at the rate of forty miles all hour. The height varied from 40 to 400 feet. At the outset Wright flew at a low height, as the tall buildings along the battery and In downtown section created strong. currents and uncer-: math tain drafts that 'made it dangerous 10 fly at 9. great height unless he went too high for the people to see him to vantage.

"And I wanted the people to get a good view of the machine," he said. Quitting the downtown section, however. Wright pointed the machine upward and quickly ascended to height of between 300 and 400 feet. "The wind was much stronger at the extreme height than I anticipated, and in addition, was very Atful. Considering the unfavorable winds I think the flight was one of the most successful I ever made." he declared.

"1 avoided flying lower over the ships and tugs in the river for the blasts from the whistles affected the air and retarded the flight. I kept a pretty good line on my height by watching the Metropolitan tower. I was never even with the top of this." A sinall American flag fluttered at the front of Wright's aeroplane, and this patriotie display increased the enthusiasm of the crowds that witnessed the flight and they cheered the aviator madly. Wright did not wear his cork belt, but contented himself with hanging two life preservers to the front of the machine. As the aeroplane neared Governor's Island on the return trip, Wright New very low and was but a few feet over the heads of those on the island.

The machine sottled as gracefully as a bird on a Ilinb and Wright stepped out, the happiest man on the island. "It was a good flight and I am glad the people liked it," he said. Wright will make an official flight between 2 and 4 o'clock this afternoon, if conditions are favorable. He must realoft an hour and cover ten miles. in any direction he chooses, in order to win the Hudson-Fulton prize.

He was confident after his morning flight that he would have no trouble in meeting the requirements. Wright's flight was witnessed by thousands of sailors, who crowded the decks of the warships in the river and sent up rousing cheers. The flight took in all the foreigh ships and he also in plain view of the jackies on the American men- of-war. Curtiss Will Not Fly; Trouble Expected. Secretary' Hammer, of the Aeronautical Committee' of the Hudson-Fulton Commission, this afternoon declared there was little likelthood that Glenn H.

Curtiss would make any flights in New York. "Mr. Curtiss told me to-day he intended having his machine packed up this aftersent to St. Louis, where he is scheduled to make flights." There is a probability that there will be legal trouble between Curtiss and the Aviation Committee of the Commission. Curtiss, it is said, will claim money for the flights he WAS to have made, declaring he is not responsible for the weather conditions and that he stood ready, to fly if the wind had died down.

The committee, it is said, will refuse to pay on the ground that Wright has made successful trips in the air. TO GLOW ANOTHER WEEK.

TO TRY EACH SEPARATELY Twelve Acceptable Talesmen Found With an Hour and a Half-' District Attorney Explains Death Penalty-Husband of Victim First Witness. In the record time of one hour and 3 half a' jury was chosen this morning John Smythe, the self-confessed try, glar who, while robbing with a confeder ate the house of George Staber, at 455 East Eighteenth street, Flatbush, on the night of July 8, is alleged to have shot, and killed Sophie Staber. Justice Crane presided in part five of the Supreme Court, and the examination of the talesmen was quickly completed. District Attorney John F. Clarke has charge of the prosecution.

Both Smythel who goes the aliases of Frank Schliemann and Fred Schliemer, and his confederate, Carlo Giro, were brought to court this morning, but on the motion of Edward J. O' Reilly, counsel for defendants, each will be tried separately. Lawyer O' Reilly will endeavor to prove that Mrs. Staber was killed by her year-old son, who fired a revolver several times at the intruders. The prosecution, on the other hand, will try to prove that the nature of Mrs.

Staber's wound could not have possibly been due to son's weapon. The only members of the Staber family present were the young son of the murdered woman, Edward, and Mr. Staber. Inspector Miles O'Rellly and a number of other police officials who had charge of the case at the time were also present. Shortly before 12 o'clock District Attorney Clarke made the opening address the jury.

He described the crime in tall, and showed how it had been dellberately planned. He explained to jurors that the law in this State says that a burglar who, accidentally or otherwise. killy a human being while in act of burglarizing is guilty of murder in the frst degree. He said that it was unnecessary to show intent, as in other cases, because the law took it for granted that 8 man armed with a weapon who broke into a dwelling house was guilty of intent to kill if it became necessary to Insure his escape. Mr.

Clarke spoke of the confession which had been obtained from the men, and told of the previous expedition Brooklyn which had been Smythe, according to Giro's statement and how they had expected robbing of the Staber home to be easy. He told of the preparations -which they had made -hew they had armed themselves with weapons and bulbs filled with ammonia, the latter to be used in suffocating the members of the household. Both men are under indictments of murder in the first degree and burglary the first degree. The punishment for committing murder while in the act of committing a felony is death. and no talesman was accepted by the District Attorney who had any scruples against the death penalty.

One man. Jacob Fink. 420 Moore street, was excused because said that he was too weak-hearted send 2L man to the electric chair. Lawyer Reilly peremptorily challenged number of talesmen, some of whom lived in Fiktbush near the scene of the murder. because he thought that they might be prejudiced against the defendant.

Others were excused because their homes had heen visited by burglars. The defendant. Smythe, a weak-lookman. sat next to his counsel with right arm in a sling. He was wounded at the time of the crime, either his confederate or by young Staber.

h.is not been learned who wAS responsible for his injury. He paid apparently no attention to the proceedings but glancing nervously around the courtroom. viewing with alarm anyone spoke to his lawyer. He had the look a man whose mind was unbalanced. appeared to have lost a lot of sleep during his confinement.

Lawyer Reilly excused several talesmen admitted that the fact that a woman been killed prejudice them against the defendant. From remarks made to the jury by Mr. Reilly it Inferred that he would place neither was of defendants on the stand. The following men compose the jury: Mechan. Gilbert, 1,452 Bedford avenue.

Joseph Lenox William J. Gerstel, 2,105 road, cigars; Walter George, 36 Pulaski street, advertising agent; Frank. Gilbert. 1.322 Bushwick Avenue, contractavenue, John Frazier (colored). 552 Lexington barber: George A.

"'The plan for a Central Bank orig'inated in W'all street not with the National Monetary Commission. Wall street will control this bank or there will be no such Institution." So declared Alfred O. Crozier, the Wilwington. author, who is probably one the best-versed students of finance in the country to-day, when asked for an expression, based on the statement published to-day that one of the members of the commission admits such a bank will he recommended. "It is retily humorous," continued Mr.

Crozier, "to note the coy manner in which the Wall street interests are allowing the plans their establishment to 'leak' out gradually. As a matter of fact this deal, the prize bunco game of America history calculated to place the entire control of the nation's currency in the hands of a Wall street coterie has been complete for months. Fearing the that would have been certain to result had the entire scheme been sprung on the public at once the men engineering the deal have been shrewd enough to springothelr plans by easy stages." PAYING PEARY'S MEN. After To-day The Will Have Plenty of Money to Spend on the Tercentennial. The crew of Peary's arctic ship Roosevelt.

will receive theip wages for the trip according to an official of the Peary Arctic Club. The men have been hampered in their enjoyment of shore leave during the Hudson-Fulton celebraLion by lack of funds, and they have been much dissatified in consequence. This led many to believe that funds for paying off the crew were not available. Officials of the Peary Club deny this and state that the men be paid in. full to-day.

The reason for this delay they say, was that the Roosevelt did not dock until Saturday night, too late to secure cash to the amount required. Each of the twenty-two men has due him wages for about seventeen months at $30 a month. TAFT RIDES ALL DAY. Will Arrive at Sacramento To-night After Longest Train Experience of Touf. ASHLAND.

Dr. Aked Says It May Offend Some, but That It 'Is Possible to Do It.

"An honest man is honest anywhere, and a minister of the Gospel has fewer temptations than any other man." This WAS the partial answer to-day of the Rev. Charles F. Aked, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, which is attended by John D. Rockefeller to the sweeping charge of the Rev. D.

H. Carrick, br Lawrence, Kansas, who left the ministry and became a street car conductor because he said that "all ministers are liars and it fs impossible for a minister to succeed and tell the truth.y "Maybe, though," Dr. Aked said, "Dr. Carrick means that the main temptation of the minister is to withhold the truth lest he offend. I do not believe that the truth from the pulpit does offend.

It may drive six away, but for the six it will attract one thousand." do not belleve New York ministers fear to denounce, sin and misconduct. Personally, I think there has been enough denunciation from the pulpit. Far too many have cried, 'Down' with all that is The Christian doctrine Is: 'Up with all that is Hell centered religion is a thing of the past." In one thing, however, Dr. Carrick and Dr. Aked are in hearty accord, and that is that ministers are niggardly paid.

The only advantage in small salaries, Dr. Aked says, 18 that it prevents anyone from entering this work unless his heart is really in the work. Mc Vicar Says 2 Men Attacked Him. Guy Marra, 33 years old, of 12 North Prince street, and Pasquale Cagassa, 30 years old, of 407 Freeman street, Long Island City, were locked up in the Hunter's Point police station on the charge of having old, assaulted Archie McVicar, 27. years of Eagle street, Brooklyn.

City Editor, Long a Sufferer from Nervous Trouble, Dead in Vienna. VIENNA, Oct. Pulitzer, who established the New Morning nal in 1542, and was editor until his health forced him to sell it in 1893, was found dead to-day in nis apartments in the Grand Hotel in this city, a suicide from a revolver shot. Pulitzer shot himself yesterday, though his death was not discovered until to-day. He was suffering from a nervous breakdown, for which he had sought vainly for relief.

Dr. Jacob Pollak, who was called after the body was found. declared that the suicide had also taken poison to make his death doubly sure. -Dr. Pollak said Pulitzer's nerves were shattered to such an extent as to affect his mind, and that ho suffered, from the fear he was going mad.

Albert Pulitzer was 58 years old and had Tived abroad since 1893. He was born In Hungary. Yesterday Pulitzer dismissed his secretary and attendants and requested the) hotel officials to see that he was not turbed. He said he desired solitude. It is believed that he killed himself almost immediately after the servants left him.

When Dr. Pollak arrived he found an empty poison bottle beside the body, near the revolver which Pulitzer had killed himself. He had evidently fired the fatal shot while standing before a mirror to make his aim sure. POPE'S ILLNESS ALARMING. Only Secretary and Close Friends Allowed to See Him -Has the Gout.

ROME, Oct. fears are caused by the physical condition of Pope Plus despite authoritative statements that the ailment which keeps the Pontiff in close seclusion is not of a serious nature. Pope Pius to-day is recelving only his secretary and his closest acquaintances among the Vatican officials, because his physiclans insist that he must have absolute rest. The fact that the Pope's present is not serious, which is being used by the Vatcan authorities to dispel all doubts as to his condition, is mystefying. His age and the general condition of his health make even the most trining disposition serious in his case.

The fregent attacks of illness to which the Pope is subject Are very likely at any time to develop alarmingly without the warning. The Pontiff's present breakdown is due to gout and general run-down condition of the system. LAPOUKIN MAKES MONEY. Azef's Betrayer, Banished to Siberia, Is Exploiting the Mines and Getting Rich. ST.
