A LONG AIR FLIGHT Daring Aviator Will Negotiate 150-Mile Trip, Albany to New York City. Where Steam Does RICH CASH PRIZE IS OFFERED BY N. Y. WORLD Five hundred thousand' dollars has been eptnt in the Taberneele enter prises since their beginning twelve years age. In addition to what has been spent in ministering to the needs of the sick and tha poor and keeping up the va- rious enterprieea of this great work which requires the servicoa of some sixteen paid staff workers atone, $75,000 has bean put into the beautiful new hospital building and its equipment— Forty thousand dollars into the prop erty on Luckia-st., on which the new building is being built. The old building and grounds will ba sold for betwoan $35,000 and $50,000 and applied to the new building as soon as ths old place can be spared. Twenty-five thousand dollars has al ready been spent for material and labor in the new Tabernacle building and work waa stopped because there was not a dollar in the treasury with which to pay even ths laborers. It will take in the neighborhood of $200,000 to complete all the buildings and apparatus needed to take care of tha work of this institution, but if $75, 000 is raised now, with what there is in tight from the tale of the old building snd other sources, the Tabernacle building can be gotten under roof and work carried on there. Of all the money that has bean spent to keep alive this great work among our people the larger part haa corns from people outside of Atlanta, muoh of it even coming from England. Tha bulk of that raised in Atlanta has been given in the smallest sums by tha poorer classes. It stems now that the work of this institution has reached a point where it haa made good to an extant that it commands ths help of the people at large, and The Georgian believes that tha people of this oity will do as they have always done by colleges, hos pitals and anything else that will help our city, and lend a band that will make possible tha return of the work mon to the walls. Tha $75,000 that muat ba had now and for which subacrfptiona are asked is to be applied strlotly to the oomple tion of the building under way and no port of it ia for salaries or any other purposs, Ths finsnoss of this enterprise are at carefully accounted for as those of •ny business house in Atlanta. The treasurers of these funda are under bond, and any man who wants to see what haa bean done with the money that has baan given to this Institution it welcome to the records of the twelve yoars of its life.

Tho the atari had been expect ed for this morning unfavorable weather compelled a postponement till later In the day.

With four other aviators In the field for the $10,000 prize, Curtlsa hurried hie plana to prevent anyone from steal ing a inarch on him. Ho declared to day that he would profit by the expe rience of Graham White, the young English flyer, who waa beaten at the' last moment by Louie Paulhan, the Frenchman, In the $50,000 London-to- Mancheater flight In England recently.

Goes Free on Charge of Killing Jane Adams at Atlantic City. • Gets Ovation on His Return Home. Atlantlo City, N, J., May 2Sc—William T. Seyler, who was acquitted last night of the murder of pretty Jane Adams on the mll)lon-dollar pier, arrived at his home from Mays Landing early to day. He was loudly cheered by a crowd at the etatton. Altho I had no fear of tha out- coma I am very thankful for the Jury*! verdict, and I am grateful to every one who haa stuck by me,” he said. am not going to run away, but will remain in Atlantic City unless the people make It too unpleasant for me and my family. I will at once try to obtain a position, and before long thfl sad occurrence will be forgotten. 'I heard rumors that In case I was set free I would suffer bodily harm. I do not fear anything of that sort and will stay In the city unless I feel that It la to my advantage to go elsewhere." In marked contrast to the day t)iat William Beyler and hla brother, Orvle, were brought back to this city, after their arrest, waa the scene of their arrival h*re. It appeared almost Incredible that the men who had been hooted, hlaaed and threatened aa they stepped froht the train on their way to police head quarters when they were brought back from Virginia only three months ago should have received the ovation that waa given them on their return as free men. The acquitted nun hastened to hU home and the wife who had been loyal to’ him. Their meeting was pathetic. Mrs. Seyler threw her arms about het husband's neck and drew him Into the house.

Would Have Been Willing If Controversy Had Been Avert ed, But This Appears Impossible. Comptroller General W. A. Wright will not be a candidate for the govern orship of Georgia at the coming Au gust primary. This fact was made public Thursday morning by General Wright In an an nouncement In which he statea his. po sition and the reasons why he deems It Inadvisable to further uso his hame In connection with the coming gubernato rial campaign. It waa first suggested by The Geor gian several months ago that General Wright might become a compromise candidate for the governorship and thus unite the factions In the Democratic party In this state. It was the opin ion of many that hla candidacy would eliminate a bitter campaign and tha consequent objectionable features 'that prevailed during the last contest. Viewed In the light of recent events, the announcements of other candidates and consequent complications. It ap pears that the accomplishment of the result Intended would bo Impossible. In his announcement General Wright haa this to say: "When, In the Interest of peace and harmony In the Democratic party of the state. It waa suggested In The Georgian that I might be a compromise candidate for governor, It was thought by my friends from all sections of tho state and from the ranks of both dl visions of the party that my rsndl daey would unite the people and avert another heated campaign. I, under such conditions, would have been will Ing to have home the standard of the Democratic party. It appears now. however, that the accomplishment of thle result Is Impossible, and I there fore deem It Inadvisable to allow the further use of my name as a candidate for governor, but desire to express to my friends throughout tho state my sincere apprecatlon of their tender of support In the event I should become a candidate, and to assure them that I shall hold In grateful remembrance the many expressions of confidence which came to me from all classes of cltlsena of this state.” Photo by Abuianza.

The lost session of the committee C«1M lr, a cl:Mia lam Wealnoadiiy even ing. During a previous session and n part of the Wednesday afternoon ses sion citizens and councUmen besieged tin finance committee with dcinamla for money. But tho oommltteo said they did n6» have the money and that they could not stretch $141,000 Into sev eral hundred thousand. One of tho principal demands waa from tho prison committee. Dr. C. J. Vaughan stated to the committee that about $1$,600 waa. needed to carry out tho ordinances of council In regard to tho prison. Tho finance committee gave $1,100 for this work. Tha demand for street Improvements would have taken more than the entire, amount to be appropriated. The com mittee made no appropriation for this work. For a time the feasibility of taking ; 11,000 which had boon apportioned In January for the pavement of Marletla- st from Tabernacle place to North-avo, and appropriating It for other needs was considered. The committee finally decided that the street paving was the most Important and let the amount stand. The appropriation that went to tho schools was $12,000 for the psyment of tho salaries of teachers’in the annexed territory; $7,000 for general repair* and coal, and $2,000 for tho Battle Hill school. Tho other apportionments, some of which were transferred from one pur pose to another In the same depart ment, were as follows: Expense* In mayor's office, $100; t' settle legal claims, $957: for the police department to meet the extra oost of maintaining old men who have-been taken off duty, $1,416; for the fire de partment to pay architect* for new buildings and meet salaries of retired men, $2,000; to pay expenses of Insur ance and fixtures for Auditorium, 24,000;-to meet payments for vaccina tion, $7,500; to pay expenses of run-: nlng smallpox hospital. $$,000; to health department for extra expense*, $1,150; to sanitary department for ex tra expenses, $1,000; to street depart ment to meet several small appropria tions, $$.000; to Hoke Smith for dam on Peachtree creek. $2,000; to Insur ance department. $2,000; for wood block pavement In front of tho two postofficee and tho police station, $2,000; for eteam pipe lino at .water works $729; to widen sidewalks on Forreet-ave.. $776; for negro play ground, $400: to Sirs.

It waa stated in Wednesday's Geor gia. In mentioning the lack of funds to carry on the work of Improving the stockade, that Commissioner H. L. Collier estimated the cost of the addi tion to the main building to be $55,000. This was a typographical error. Mr. Collier's estimate was $5,500. Churchss May Affiliate. Lewisburg, W.

Chicago, May 26.— 1 This was a day of sweeping victory for the wheat bears on the Chicago Board of Trade, the rout of the bulls Including, It waa be lieved, James A. Patten, who a year ago held the market In his grnsp In hla great Mnv Clip. May. July unit S tnjnbcf, wheat showed slumps,_thc Pat ton lino being ljl tli&" latter. Tho bear vlotory Is shown In the following fig ures: May wheat declined from $1.10 7-g to $1,071-*; July from 99 $-4 to 97 2-8C, and September from 96 to 92 7-Sc. Hundreds of thousands of bushels of wheat In Armour boats are being di verted In the Great Lakes from Chi cago to Buffalo to Eastern porta This Indicated, grain men said, that Theo dore H. Waterman, the Albany, N. Y„ speculator, who attempted to duplicate tho Patten May deal of last year, has been caught by J. Ogden Armour, the bear leader, and that there had been private settlement. .Waterman has been deluged with wheat. It Is said, the May slump today leading the others. Tho Impression In the pit Is that Patten, who was associated In the deal with hla brother, George W. Patten, was selling out ths last of hla 20,000,- 000 bushels of September wheat at a loss. Ths report was heard that for several days Patten had been getting rid of hla lino thru the name of Cap tain J. M. Phillips, the ”Ronansa form er” of Newton, Kane., who wo* also long on September wheat. Patten for soversl days had been asserting that September wheat would advance sure ly, but just as steadily It declined. But while big losses were being re corded on tha bull aide, millions of dol lars were being added to tho fortune of Adolph J. Llchtatern. on* of tho largest traders In Chicago. It Is said that the turn of the market hoe netted h|m between $2,000,004 and $1,000,000. TO QUELL A RIOT Foreign Miners at Lookout Mountain Start Trouble Late Wednesday Night.
