Hull of Two-Master Lies on Shoresof Creek.

The two-masted schooner George \Y.Krebs, a veteran of Chesapeake bayfleet, has made its last voyage and itshull is lying on the shores of St. Jeromecreek. Aid., for time and the elements to

destroy. Several days ago, as the schoon¬er was on her way frum Mill creek, Md.,to Baltimore with a cargo of lumber,she sprang a leak. The volume of water

coming into the vessel was more thanher pumps could cope with, and to save

her from sinking she was beached inSt. Jerome's creek. A tug and lighterwere sent from Baltimore to lloat thevessel, but it was found that her bendshad started and the vessel was in suchcon tition not to be worth floating.The vessel was stripped of all littings of\alue, her cargo of lumber was removedto the lighter and the old craft aban¬doned.The Krebs was liftv-seven years old,

having been built at Baltimore in 1852and a vessel of sixty-two gross tons. Shewas owned by William T. (Jassage ofEaston point, Aid.

DEFENSE OF THE SOUTH!ADDRESS BY DIRECTOR DAWEOF COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.

Outlines Vast Resources Awaiting;Development and Tells Story of

Southern Progress.

There is something els? south of Masonand Dixon's line besides hookworms, re¬

volting crimes and lynchings.Take the word of G. Grosvenor Dawe,

managing director of the Southern Com-inercial Congress, for the truth »>f thestatement. He laid down the substanceof this proposition at the beginning ofan address at the University Club lastevening, and then proceeded to presenthis proofs.In the introduction of h:s address, he

declared, the south is misunderstood be¬cause of the character of publicity whichit has attained through newspapers **nd

magazines. Stories of .-rimes revoltingin their character and statements ofhookworm infection among millions Inthe south, he said, have been sent broad-cist. but the story of southern progressin the last half century has not beengenerally told.

Inventory of Resources.Mr. Dawe told this story by presenting

a brief inventory of the south s re¬

sources. The gift of temperature andrainfall, he declared. Is tlie supremeblessing of that section, and he placed1this combination lirst on the list. Nojregion in the country, except a small,M-ea in the extreme northwest, he de-clan <1, has so gre it or so weil distributed;rainfall as has the south. To' this Isadded a long growing season and a mildtemperature. The effect of these gifts Inthe development of water power and ofagriculture, he said, ;-re apparent. Not1l!."i per cent of the south's land is undercultivation; not one-half of that possibleof cultivation is actually tilled and usedfor the raising of crops. A wonderfulagricultural development, he predicted,is therefore in store for the south.Its coast line was the next resource

placed on the inventory list. This meas-ures. lie said, 3,000 miles.twice asmuch as the Pacific coast of the UnitedStates and three times as much as themiddle Atlantic coast. Coast line, lie de¬clares. means commerce, and the south'scoast line will he on the doorstep ofthe,world's commerce.

Miles of Navigable Rivers.

Navigable rivers were listed next. Ofthe 26,410 miles of such streams in theUnited States, he said, 18,213 miles arein the south.To the inventory of resources was

added the Appal liian mountain sys¬tem. It contain: he said, 10,000,000hydro-electric horsepower.nine timesas much as has been harnessed in NewEngland. In the development of thispower, he declared, is the beginning ofthe most marvelous electrified area inthe world.In its forests, too, the south is rich,

according to the speaker. Over 40 per¬cent of the forests of the country, infoot measurement, it was estimated, inin the south.Dixie has also been endowed richly with

minerals. The iron deposits are vast, hepointed out, as is shown by the fact thatalready the clanging progress of severalsouthern cities is due to the developmentof this resource. Coal, too. Is found in.abundance in the southland.

Manufactories to Be Built.Following the agricultural and mining

development, it was declared, will come

the manufacturing of finished products.Instead of selling pig Iron, crude cottonand other raw materials. Mr. Dawe said,the south will sell the finished products.With the ore and the coal easy of access.he added, manufactories are sure tospring up in huge numbers.Gripping the fact of the south's re¬

sources and the results which they in¬sure in the future, and desiring to re¬

move a wrong impression, Mr. Dawe said,business men of the south have bandedthemselves in the Southern CommercialCongress. They are working for thesouth's uplift. l>elieving that the nationwill remain weak until the south Is de-veloped.

May Have Been Murdered Man.Maj. Sylvester has a.-ked the chief of

scription of Thomas Curtin, bartender ina South St. Joseph saloon, who is re¬

ported to have been murd- red. Curtin,it was stated in a dispatch received here

yesterday, was formerly a resident ofthis city.Last night Miss Annie Curtin, 75 I

AERO PRACTICE IN WINTERARMY MACHINE TO BE SENT

TO SOUTH.i ¦

IWill Probably Go to San Antonio for

Use in Training SignalSquad at Post.

With a demand from various quartersfor a trained aeronautical squad, theWar Department now proposes to trans¬port the Wright aeroplane owned by thegovernment and now at Fort Myer tosome southern city, probably San An¬tonio, Tex., in order to permit the ofll-ctrs to make ascensions during the winterunder suitable climatic conditions. Thesellights will begin in February, If theplans looked upon with favor by the WarDepartment now are not upset by someunforeseen circumstance. San Antonio is jprefeired because of the army post atthat city.R would be as late as May in all proba-

bility before flights could be made atCollege I'ark. Md., the location of theheld upon which Wilbur Wright trainedthe Signal Corps officers this fall. Asthere is only one machine possessed bythe government, it is desirable, in theminds of army officials, to make as muchuse of it as possible.

Lieut. Foulois In Charge.Lieut. Benjamin Foulois will have

charge of the flights in the south. He isthe only one of the officers instructed byWilbur Wright now available for thepurpose. Lieut. La Inn has gone back tohis regiment, and Lieut. Humphreys hasrejoined the Engineer Corps.Flights in the south cannot be under¬

taken much earlier than February, evenif weather conditions are suitable, on ac¬count of repairs to the engine of the gov¬ernment aeroplane, now being made atDayton, Ohio, by the Wright brothers.One of the cylinders was broken at Col¬lege Park, probably on the last flight!when Lieut. Lahm came to the groundwith a bump. The Wrights are going overtlie entire apparatus. With a view of de-termining and correcting the defects. Thiswork must be finished before any moreflights can be undertaken.

Interest in Coming Exhibit.Local Inventors of aeroplanes and mem-

bers of the Washington Aero Club are

greatly interested in the aeronautical ex¬

hibit which is to be held in conjunctionwith the automobile show at ConventionHall January 24. A number of local In¬ventors have expressed their willingnessto lend their machines to the Aero Clubof Washington to be placed on exhibit. Itis also understood that a number of inter-rstin*r exhibits may be borrowed fromthe Smithsonian Institution.Thomas F. Walsh, president of the

Washington Aero ^iut>, nan expressed a

deep interest in the proposed exhibit, andsaid that It would unquestionably b<» ofgreat Interest to Washington!ana. Thearrangement of the exhibit will probablybe taken up by the club's committee onexhibits, of which MaJ. Squier of theSignal Corps Is chairman.MaJ. Squier said last evening: that he

was not prepared until the committeehad met to say just what plans will b»made. The most Interesting part ofthe exhibit will be that people will beable to get a close view of aeroplanesand study th<> different kinds of enginesused in developing the motive power fordriving the various machines through theair.

Help Aviation Meet.Charles J. Bell, a member of thp board

of directors of the Aero Club, was alsogreatly in favor of holding an exhibit.He thoupht that it would increase theinterest taken in aeronautics and wouldprobably help Washington get the inter¬national aviation meet.Probably more aeroplane flights have

been made in the vicinity of Washingtonthan in any other city in the I'nitedStates, and while almost everybody inthe District has seen an aeroplane in:iight, very few people have seen either theWright or Curtiss biplanes at close range.The only other city in the country whereaeronautic exhibits have been held is NewYork.
