Molssant and Arch Hox sey, wviators extraordinary, were killed today. Both fell out of the treacherous air currents with their machines neither from a vast height and Moissant's remaining minutes of life were so few as to count as naught. Hoxsey was killed Instantly. Molssant met his death at 9.5& a. ,. attempting to alight in a field, a. few miles from New Orleans. La. Hoxsey, who -went into the air early In tile afternoon at Lm Angeles, lay, at S.1S P- m., a crushed, lifeless mass In View of the thousand who were watching the aviation tournament. Thus the last day of 110, In bring Ing the total number of deaths of avi ators to S6, capped, the list with two of the niost Illustrious of those air men who have been writing the his tory of aviation In the sky of two continents. Molssant A Chkwgoan. Molssant, a Chloagoan by birth, after an adventurous life In Central America, became Interested , Jn avi ation In France less than a year ago. After soaring, into public recognition by his plucky flight from Paris across the English Channel to London with a passenger, Moissant's fearlessness and resourcefulness was. exhibited frequently, . Finding himself without a machine, he purchased . one f rojn friend for $10,000 and within ten minutes starting on his winning flight from Belmont Park, N. T., around the statue of Liberty, win ning a prize of $10,000. Hoxsey Kcrord Breaker. Arch Hoxsey, after a year of uni form success with the .Wright aero plane gained a name for daring and competence In the-atr. Only within the -welt he had set a new' world's altitude record of 11, 474 feet and then to show; Ms contempt for the earth had sailed majestically more thau 4,009 , feet above the . highest mOutftain "In-. California.1 ? Today- t,e ran afoul of the same kind of boiling treacherous wind when some 600 feet from the earth, and a minute later a horrified crowd, aroused from Its shock, was rushing madly to where, a broken mass of humanity lay beneath a torn bit of canvas and some broken spars. ' Met Death In Same Manner. Both men met death In almost the same manner. Each machine was headied for the earth and suddenly seemed to stop, hover in the -nlr, then, "turn, over onto its, nose" and dive headlong to the earth and to destruction. . Molssant's aeroplane was a Blerlot monoplane with thie heqvy engines. At end of the main places, he had fastened a can of gasoline. Exports believe a sudden puff of wind stop' led his machine dead In the air end the heavy weight ahead dragged the light framework behind , it, flipping thle then useless rear elevator. From his position partly hiuk of the main planes, Molssant was flipped) out, clear of the machine, and, struck the ground on his head breaking his neck. He died on a flat car on which he was being rushed to New Or leans. ' Hoxsey, likewise was returning from a Journey Into the clouds. He was within. BOO feet of the earth and cheers were going up to meet the conquerer of the higher air, when hl machine seemed to stop, shudder and whirl over and over to the ground. As In the morning's tragedy, the rear elevator, rendered useless when the momentum was gone, flipped around, helpless to aid the fated machine. Hoxsey vainly endeavored to right his craft by warping the main planes and by use of tho rudder. Vain at tempts these, for before sufficient momentum was gained the frail structure crumpled upon the earth, thie heavy engine being torn loose. Crowd Saw Hoxsey Killed. Only a few farmers olds saw Mols sant hurled to his 'death, but Ilox sey8 end came before the horrified gaze of thousands who had come out In the pleasant afternoon to watch' the blrdmen darting here and there through the air. The day's pleasure ended when an announcer, sadly lifting his masaphon), droned out the message: "Arch Hoxsey has been killed. There will tfe no more flying today." i Mrs, C. M. Hoxsey. of Pasadena, Ut,. Jmlsed hy a ' rmtn . accident seeing her son meet his death. ' She had arranged to attend the tourna ment and to take hr first aeroplane ride, with her son.

MANAGUA, Doc. 81. Gen. Juan Estrada by the unanimous vote of congress today became the constitu tional 'preMident of Nicaragua for a term of two "years. Adolfo Dlax, former minister of the Interior, was elected vice president fur the same period. The Inauguration ceremo nies look place at two o'clock this af ternoon in the hall of congress to which tho pi$llc was admitted on the invitation of General Luis Mens, minister of war. in his inaugural ad dress PrAddent Kstriula lauded the people and the government of the United States. The Inauguration of I'resldcnt Estrada will bring to an, end the long eontroversy hijtwccn . tho United States and Nicaragua, It having been announced that If Estrada was elect ed to the presidency by a derisive vote the government of the United States would recognise tho Nirara guan government as at present con stituted, General Estrada was head sf the revolutionary movement against Jose Wantos Zelaya who was president of Nicaragua in 1009 and In November of that year two Atnert- oans, Leonard Groce and Ttoy Can non, who were captured while serv ing n the revolutionary army were executed by Zelaya's order. This brought about action by the Amerl can Tmment when on December 1, 10 Secretary Knox; handed his passports to Felipe Rodriguez, charge O'sffairs tit Washington for Nicara gua. 1 '. On December 1, Zelaya resigned the presidency of Nicaragua. Dr. Jose E. Madrls w-up elected president of the rejmbla by the unanimous vote of congress on Deoemher SO. but he wa not", regarded with favor by the government of the united States, ' Dr. Madrls quit the presidency August SO and since then events have moved quickly to a satisfactory ad justment of the relations beteween UNCLE SAM STARTS NEW YEAR WITH A FEW LOOSE S Finds Financial Condition Much Better Than It Was A Year Ago BUT WILL BORROW WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 The coming of a new year tlnds the finances of the United Slates treasury far Improved over the condition in which tho business of 1910 was be gun, having spent in thit year $26, 000,000 more than it had taken In. That sum took no account of the extraordinary expenditures for the Panama canal. The beginning of 1011 finds the de ficit reduced to $6,000,000, and the total deficit. Including Panama ex penditures, reduced to almost $26, 000,000 on all accounts practically half of what it was a year ago. Tho year closes wtlh about $K6, 000,000 In the general fund nml ti working balnnco of $31,000,000 in the treasury offices, both considerably lower than a year ago. This is con sidered by treucury official a re markable showing in the face of the factnhat more than $130,000,000 has been advance! out of ordinary funds for the canal construction. The showing seems to sustain Secretary MacVeagh's declaration that the treasury would be able to keep an even keel until congress pae leg. . Illation to allow an lasue of seciirl ties upon the plans which Mr. Mc- Yeagh has laid down. Such a plan as Mr. MVt-agh snd Senator. Aldrlch have so far worked out, contemplate the. Issue of $no, 060 or $100,000,000 of Panama bonds, not to be Available for national bank circulation and at rate of Inter est high enough to make them at tractive to investors. Such a plan promises to develop Into legislation when congress settles down to work. MO.BILH, Ala., Dee. St. Defend- Ing the rtlon of the sub-committee that Investigated the bribery charges against Senator . Lorimer of Illinois, Senator Jos. JB, Johnston of Alabama, who Is recuperating from a slight Ill ness, today gave out the following statement. -..,. .....

"All tho members of the committee were unanimous in the conclusion that the testimony failed to show the fact that Senator Uorlmer was htm ccif guilty of bribery or any corrupt practices, or that he sanctioned, or was cognisant of the fact that brib ery or any corrupt practices were being used by others to Influence votes for him. "The only other question was whether tin, evidence showed I hat enough votes of the members of the legislature voting for Senator lori mer were bribed or Influenced by bribery or corrupt practices so that deducting such votes from the total cast for him tils vote would fall 'be low that required by tha constitu tion to elect , 'Upon this point all of th sub committeemen wars of the opinion that the evidence failed to show that he had been corruptly elected ex cept one, Senator Frasler, whose con clusion was that four members of the legislature Vers paid money for Vot invfuj ua.ior vjmw. ur-jin. sequence of ftavlnR voted for him; thnt nno slate senator and three rep rrsVntntivcs admitted under tb that they were paid and the senator was satisfied that such payments were as a bribe.'

"We think the senator erred In his conclusions, If we accept his finding of facts. How Tl.cy Figured it Out ','We were unable to find any testi mony whatever tending even to show that Itreekmoyer. Unk and Holtalaw would have voted for either Stringer or Hopkins, or were Induced corrupt ly to vote for Lorimer. The senator hIho declnrcs that the Broderick vote Khould bo counted for Stringer or Huiklnn, when Hriulerlck not.tonly denied under osth that-' he bribed llolstlaw or Imd paid him any money, but that ha himself was anxious to votA for Lorimer for persons! res sons. "Even if the seven men, including Whits, should bs excluded from the count.

Te report was submitted by tha chairman who asked that It be printed and tabled. No attempt was made whatever to press present con sideration of the report and tha only suggestion looking to fixing a time fur consideration was from Senator Bev fridge "who urged that It bs set for January" 9 so that the crltlnism In re nard to this matter and as to Its bs Ing rushed might seem to havs no foundation. "It la rather curious that six re publicans and four democrats should concur in this report; ona democrat doubtfully assenting and ona repub lican declaring he was not prepared either to assent or dissent, and yet no attempt seems to have been mads to crests the Impression that tha re port was not warranted, but was an uttempt to rush through a white-wssh," T BATTLESHIP ARKANSAS And Because There are Two The Navy Department Is Up a Tall Tree SCRAP IRON TRUST DIED Promoters Warned by Gov ernment That it Would be Considered Illegal " WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. Officials of the navy department are nonplus sed by the announcement from Little Kock that Governor Donaghey of of Arkansas has designated Miss Ma rlon Clarke, daughter of Senator Jus. I'.

To meet the situation, and in order that Arkanssm might not be deprived of the honor of christening .her namexake In the navy by a daughter of tho state. Secretary Meyer took up the matter with Hcpersentatlve Bacon who was In Washington at the time, and as certained that the congressman's daughter would be willing to set as tponsor. Accordingly, the secretary advised the president of the New yrk Shipbuilding company, the builders of the Arkansas, tlmt Miss Macon would-?be the sponsor; There the matter rests as no further word has yet ben received from Governor Donaghey. - ,'the United States and Nicaragua.

The steel men, It Is said, made, no secret of It and declared they thought they were doing no wrong.
