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.

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. Editor Weathers Takes Up Ets Pen Mr. Lee B.

HACKNEY Phone 312. 6 W. 5th St. 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- Clearing House Statement.

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. Rye .. .. Corn .. ..

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.” In all The World of Pianos You will never find a piano jnsl like the artistic Stieff.
