Moisant Painted
Continued from Page One.
With the coming of the commercial
air fleets, there will be for a time a
world-wide saturnalia of smuggling, he
foresees^ to be followed by the read
justments of nations to the new age—
the aerial age—and then an unexam
pled freedom of exchange and a last
ing peace. For with the walls at the
boundaries of nations gone, there
would be no occasion left for war.
•• Nearly every one hitherto has dwelt
upon the possibilities of the air fleets
as engines of war; and then predatory
swoops from the upper air and their
grim facilities in dropphig dynamite
upon defenseless towns have been put
into graphic tales.
These are dreams, Moisant thinks—
mere literary nightmares.
War there might be between aerial
squadrons, but not wanton war. The
common business interests of the na
tions would intervene to prevent the
wliolesale bombardment of cities from
flef.ets above.
But s^j'd Moisant, coming back to
his first statements, what would se
riously disturb existing conditions, or,
rather, what, in his jttdgment, will be
the perfecting of aerial vessels to car
ry froight. When this is don? the
trade of the world will be changed,
and the whole system of governments,
now dependent upon frontier revenues
—a form of income collected to finance
a military establishment mairlained
largelj to enable Ihe countries to
make that collection possible—will be
come obsolete.
The tarifr walls to take their places
with the porticullis and the moat.
And Moisant predicts this, not for
a re^note day, but as a reconstruction,
dynastic and irresistible, the aigr.s and
portents of which now fill the sky.
He predicts tliat tbo wliite scienco
of aviation will be startling in its new
discoveries.
Already, as he well said, progress
in aviation is swifter than in any field
man has sought to dominate.
I was greatly impressed with Mois
ant, the architect and builder, practi
cal mechanici;;n. economist, climber
of the sky. For he ha.‘ indeed hitclicd
his chariot to the firmament. And his
mind has seemingly taken the poise
and freedom of the winged successes
that lift him above thf j)resont along
paths that lead no man yet know.s
where.
John B. Moisant
Continued from Page One:
Four times he circled the field at a
height of about 200 feet. Suddenly
something went wrong. The engine
was working regularly, but the mono
plane became unamanageable. It
sagged in front and went through
strange motions.
The machine bucked and pitched
downward. Moisant could be seen, try
ing to manipulate the planes so as to
lift the weight of the engine, which
is placed forward, up to an even keel.
He threw himself backward as far
as possible, his weight being the only
thing that kept the Bleriot from div
ing to the earth.
The monoplane came down as if the
aviator was trying to glide to earth.
Suddenly, Avhen the machine was 100
feet, above ground, Moisant slid out of
it and fell like a stone. The strap
which held him to his seat had broken
and he lost his hold.
The aviator landed on his head and
shoulders, and the horrified crowd
rushed across the field to where he
lay beside the wreck 'Of the mono
plane. He was still alive, and he was
lifted and placed in a racing automo
bile.
The chauffeur turned on all his pow
er in a race for a special train and
the engineer of that made all possible
I speed for this city. It was too late,
' however, and Moisant died on the
{train.
I A physician who was at the flight
I was in the automobile and in the train
I with the injured man, but he was una-
; ble to keep him alive until he reached
i New Orleans.
1 Moisant narrowly escaped death
I last Tuesday. He had gone up 9,000
i feet in an effort to break the eleva-
‘ tion record. At that height his en-
i gine froze and he was forced to glide
I to the ground.
A strong wind swept him toward a
partially cleared tract of scrub forest,
half a mile from the aviation ground.
As he was about to be dashed against
the trees, his engine thawed out in
the warmer atmosphere. He managed
to skid along the surface of the ground
got the engine working properly again
and then, without alighting, ascended,
circled over the forest and returned
to tlie field.

J. W. Guess Dead
City Will Bury Him
Outraged nature finally asserted it
self, and W. J. Guess, the man who
drank carbolic acid with suicidal in
tent Friday afternoon near the Eliza
beth Mills, died yesterday afternoon
about 5:30 p. m. in the Presbyterian
hospital.
Hope was entertained up to yester
day morning for his ultimate recovery,
but the poisoning hatl so thoroughly
saturated his system that death was
inevitable.
His brother-in-law from Fort Mill
visited him yesterday afternoon, but
left before the man died. He seemed
indifferent as to Guess’ condition, and
made no offer or suggestion as to the
disposition of his body wlien he died.
The man was violent Friday night,
and sank into a stupor yesterday
morning.
The coroner took charge of the body
and the city will give it burial.

Xew York, Dec. 31.—Katie Muller,
the companion of Albert Wolter, under
sentence of death for the murder of
Ruth Wheeler, expects to marry Wol
ter in the death house at Sing Sing in
order to legitimatize their child.
While W’olter was under arrest and
before he was tried, both he and the
girl wished to be married, but the au
thorities would not permit it because
they wanted her as a witness against
him and as his wife, she could not
have testified. Now, however, that ob
jection is removed, and the girl has
retained counsel to assist her in their
marriage.
“Albert and I want to become wife
and husband as soon as possible, but
the law v/ill not permit us,” she said
today. “I have one Avish, and that is
to marry Albert before he dies in the
electric chair, so that our child will
became legitimatized. My boy is inno
cent, and why should he be made to
suffer? Albert has talked the matter
over with his mother and he is pre
pared to marry me before he dies, but
the law will not permit us to marry.
This means that my son will have to
suffer when he becomes a man.”
eESUME OF WEEKS
DEHLINeSON
W STREET
New York, Dec. 31.—The closing
session of the old j’^ear was uneventful.
Less than 100,000 shares were dealt
in and price fluctuations v/ere unim
portant. The London market was low
er for Americans and some recessions
toook place in a few of the leading
shares in the local market. There was
nothing, however, to suggest changed
opinions or even professional interest
in the proceedings.
The bank statement showed a de
crease in reserves of $3,710,000 in the
actual statement. This was largely
the result of about $17,000,000 in
crease in deposits. The increase in
loans as of $1,451,000 was merely In
cidental to preparations by trust com
panies for year-end statements, and
the transfer of loans from these insti
tutions to the clearing house banks.
The year’s gross railway earnings
have probably exceeded any in the his-
torj’’ of the country but from causes
obvious and apaprently unavoidable
the net revenue will fall short of last
year. This much seems assured,
though calculations are now based on
only the last half of the calendar
year. ''
The coming year will bring with it
supreme court decisions on the Stan
dard Oil and American Tobacco cases
and determine the scope of the Sher
man anti-trust law as applied to the
organization and administration of
these corporations. These decisions
are looked forward to with interest
in Wall Street but no longer with ap
prehension. Tbe lower court decision
in the anthracite cases has been ta
ken to mean that whatever the su
preme court may decide in the more
important eases before that tribunal
tlie result has been prepared for and
no disturbing change or reorganization
will be found necessary.
The price level in the security mar
kets cannot be regarded as high with
the average interest and dividend re
turns standing as at present. Not
withstanding many warnings and pes
simistic forecasts of what is likely to
happen during the coming year noth
ing at present appears to justify a be
lief in reduced dividends or changes
of drastic character in net revenue
returns. The labor situation Is yet
unsettled as is also the railroad rate
question in obeyance before the in
terstate commerce commission. Much
hangs on the settlement of this last
problem but W^all street feels con
fident that a fair and impartial decis
ion will be reached which will en
able railway corporations to continue
plans for extension and constructive
betterment of their lines.
With the balance of trade turned
moderately in favor of America
through enormous exports of cotton
and also following reduced imports
of foreign merchandise the mon^y
market promises to be easy with abun
dant funds for all purposes during the
early days of the coming year. A
good demand has recently prevailed,
for bond Issued and a large part, if
not all, of the heavy holdings of syn
dicates and underwriters have found
their way into permanent invest-

Berlin, Dec. 31.—Andrew Carnegie,
the American multi-millionaire, has en
dowed Germany with a hero fund of
$1,250,000, the prizes and pensions to
be distributed by a commission to be
appointed by Emperor W^'illiam. The
emperor recently wrote a long person
al letter to Mr. Carnegie expressing his
appreciation.
The plans which have made similar
funds successful in the United States,
England and France will be followed.
Mr. Carnegie established the first
hero fund in April 1904, when he plac
ed $5,000,000 with a commission with
instructions to use the annual proceeds
of the amount as rewards for heroic
acts in saving lives in the United
States, Canada and Newfoundland. In
1908 he created a similar fund in
Great Britain, with $1,250,000 and in
1909 gave $1,000,000 to establish a
fund in France.
The total amount set apart by Mr.
Carnegie for hero funds Is now $8,000 -
000.

New Orleans, La., Dec. 31.—When
Albert Moisant entered the undertak
ing parlors where his dead brother
was laid out he would not look at the
corpse for a few moments, but grad
ually he turned around, and after tak
ing a few glances at the still, cold
body, he finally fixed his gaze upon
the lifeless form.
He turned to look for a chair as
though to support himself, and seeing
one at the further comer of the room,
he walked unsteadily toward it and
sank down a complete picture of giref.
He did not remain long seated, how
ever, but walked over and looked
again at his dead brother, then turned
and w'alked away, repeating this act
four or five times. Then he paced the
floor for about ten minutes, all the
while becoming more and more excited
and at times becoming exceedingly
more hysterical.
Crawford H. Ellig, who was pres
ent in the room, tried to console the
grief stricken man but to no avail.
The sight of the dead brother flnal
ly became so unbearable that Mr, Moi
sant left the room and hurried to the
hotel, where an attempt was made by
reporters to talk with him, but he was
so overcome that he was unable to be
seen.
It is believed that Moisant’s death
will end the tour. The meeting here
w’as called off after the accident. The
next date was td' have been Houston,
Texas, but the aviators are not likely
to go there now.
The International Aviators, Inc.,
have lost $280,000 on the Southern
tour, according to Albert Moisant. The
loss at the New Orleans meeting has
been $15,000.

Hamilton Talks
of Roxsey Death
New Orleans, Dec. 31.—Charles K.
Hamilton, one of the international av
iators here, commenting today on the
tragic death of Archie Hoxsey at Los
Angeles said:
“It Is a singular coincidence, that
the leading aviators who were close
friends should be killed on the last
day of the most notable year in the
development of aeronautics. Hoxsey
was a great flyer and had a brilliont
future. He and John R Moisant had
exchanged letters within the week.
“It is funny luck—seven aviators
killed in three days.
“However, that ghastly record shall
not deter me. I am as confident as
ever that aviation cannot be held in
check and that these martyrs are
merely milestones on the road to
ward ultimate success and practica
bility.
“Warning had been given Moisant
by his fellows time and again that he
could not negotiate the dangerous
right hand dive in a monoplane,” con
tinued Hamilton. “This type of ma
chine cannot be guided from the front
like a biplane can be manipulated.
We all anticipated today’s tragedy be
cause Moisant Insisted that he (;ould
dip the car with one plane.”
