Am•••••••••••••••••••• Made a Speed of Over Fifty-four Miles an, Hour While in Air. Stopped Twice On His Journey to Procure Oil and Gasoline. New York, May 29.-Glene11, Curtiss, mita toalay known ite the aviator who had captuted the international speed. tro- phy at Rheims, arose from the tide flats of Van Rensselaer Island at Albany at 7.03 (fele& this. morning in the smallest biplane that has figurea seriously in the world's great flights, sped upward to a height of 1,000 feet, maintainee it for forty miles, then swung over the Cats- eilis at a, far greater height, once at- taining a maximum of almost 5,000 feet, dropped down above the Hudson waters or another forty miles, and landed fin- elly at Governor Islan.1 at noon. He had covered, 150 miles in an actual fir lap time of 2 hours ana 40 minute:3, The flignetwhich sets a new mark in the conquest of the air, was made through it -territory presenting a great variety of perils, far greater than any ether stretch that aviatore have tried. Side canons, high cliffs, eddying cur- rents, and reverse currents shooting era of gulches into the Ruction ver - ley all played their part. One stretch made Curtiss fight every inch of his way, while hie tiny craft tossed and pitched like a yacht in a hurricane, Through the different places, which include the treacherous Storm King Pass, Curtiss pumped oil into his. craft 6o plentifully that a long blue haze hung out behind him, fanning itself into shape behind like a cornet's tail. The trip was broken into two places. one at Camelo' t near Poughkeepsie, for gasoline, andone at 214th street and Broadway, New Yolk, where a stop was made for oil, The total tinie of Curtiss' flight through the 150 runes of his trip was 2 hours and 40 minutee. Be started from Albany at 7.03 o'clock in the morning and cencluaed his flight at 12.o'clock sharp. He -spent one haui. and four minutes iCatill; near Pough- keepsie, and one hour and seven minutes resting at 21411i street, while he replen ished his reservoir with oil. The New York Ceetraes fastest train, the Twen- tieth CenturyLimited, would make the sante run, minus th2 dititallee from ',Forty-second, street to Governor's Island, in three hours and eight minutes, which is 22 minutes longer than the time con- sumed by Curtiss. Curtiss' average speed was 54.18 miles an hour, which is equals to a mile in every minute and six ecconds. ' Curtiss used a single propeller having 3. driving power of 350 pounds through mere air res:etance. The machine was forced forward by an engine whose cieht laage eyleiders winked without a e missed stioke for the entire distance. The engine was of fifty horse -power, the most powerful Curtiss line ever built,. He did not adhere altogether to his announced intention of hugging the river all the way along. Instead be divided his trip into four sections, in each of which he used hake of a vastly different nature. As he took the air from Van Iteeeselaer's Island he went di- reetly to the river's centre, elimbed 1,000 feet above it, and remained there as if a fixed object, not varying from abiolutely -level planes. It had been_pre-arrangea that it white flag, swung frorn the top of a building of the Standard Oil Company's plant by one of Mr. Curtiss' mechanics, would signal a special train to start even with the aeroplane. The Twentieth Century train had just whizzed past when the white flag loom- ed up in its expected postilion. The aeroplane soon shot upward and was off. The train crew had been warned that the rival in the air could do fifty miles an hour; they had smiled, and. had been incredulous. Before the engineer had fairly'. got the throttle open and the train was creeping on to the main emelt the aeroplane was away ahead, a mere speck in the southern sky, and one could fairly feel the train gather speed ea it bent itself to its task of catching up. For four miles the road ran through trees, and only now and then could the speck in the sky be seen. The train soon was gaining, and. it was wood news to all who watched.Soon It was doing its best and the blaek speck in the sky became it speck with a sharp- ! .1 ‘" 'el Velltese cross in the rean p:ns iiiIferentiated themselv- es and the aileroes between them took a normal shape. Gradually the brighter varnieh of the spruce uprights showed forth against the black balloon cloth covering of the planes. It was not until the Catskill Mountain House loomed against the western sky that he shifted Itis position. It was it thrilling sight to watch the aeroplane battle with the aerial vortex eta Curtiss pulled. up over old Storm King Mountain near West Point. There he pitched and tossed like a ship hi an angry sea, The treachery of this 'spot is kneven to weather experts, and Curtiss himeelf had been warned of its anger. .As he hit the mixea currents Itis machine at first wavered, now slack- ing up and again jumping with jerks that showed the daring aviator was in a perilous current, but under his per- fect control the 'machine righted. itself at each curve Without trouble„ At 9.50 he took a long, sidewise drive across the river, to the left of the epee.

RANKS THINNING President Taft Reviewed the Memor- , ial Day Parade in New York, Veterans of Civil War Not So Num- erous --They Are Dying Off. New York, May 30. -President Taft arrived here this morning to take part in the 1VIemorial Day services and review the parade. Ideal weather prevailed. Enormous crowds were drawn to the streets and avenues through which marched, the pathetically few veteransof the Unicin Army. A great host was massed about the stand at the soldiers' and sailors' monument in Riverside drive, where President Taft watched the Grand Army men and military organization pass in review. A detachment of regular army men headed the marchers, whose route was shortened, so that the ageing veterans would not be too greatly fatigued by their tramp. Followed by sailors and marines from the battleships Connecticut and Rhode Island, the head of the par - side moved up West End avenue to 72nd street and into Riverside Drive and on past the stand at the monument. The State troops, including the Seventh Regi- ment, 13th, 71st and 69th regiments, marched next, and then came the veter- ans. Although there were four divisions of Geand Army men and good weather brought out the veterans in force, the ravages of time were shown in the de- pleted ranks'thinner than. ever. Cheer after cheer broke out as the old soldiers assembled and wheeled into line, . and woke the echoes even after the tattered battle flags had passed, and the younger veterans of the Spanish War and the civic societies brought up the rear of the marchers. The President planned to return to Washington this afternoon. DONOHUE'S DEATH London Jury Exonerated Railway Company From All Blame.

Mr. Lobb didn't act like a gentleman, and he should apologize." Mr. Lobb absolutely refused to apol- ogize, saying Mr. Collier had insulted him first by whimpering insults about the Hydro-eleetrie. After the court had adjourned the lawyers had a fistio encounter on the Court House steps. 4� EMPIRE FESTIVAL Over One Hundred Canadians Lose By Its Postponement. 100,000 Men and Women Had Been Preparing to Take Part in it.

Pittsburg's Plans to Got Fans to At- tend the Sunday Services. Pitteburg, pa., May 30 -The Mirdatera of Pittsburg and the inanagers of the baseball clubs which have beeu holding Sunday exhibition games have reached an agreement whereby the Sunday base- ball games will coutinue and the at- tendances at the churches, it is thought, will increase proportiouately, Hereafter, accordinp to the manager of the A, J. Martin's, elle ef the best known ama- teur nines in the country, no person will be allowed to attend the Sunday ex- hibition games conducted by that club unless the patron is able to present a ticket which is obtained only at certain Pittsburg churches after the Sunday morning service. These tickets will be giyen only to persons who attend the Sunday morning church service. No per- son who does not sit out the service, no matter what length the sermon may be, will be given it ticket, This amicable arrangement was reach- ed through a suggestion made by Con- stable Jacob Stine, of Port Vue, who not only is an ardent baseball fan, but a regular church attendant as well, He believed he had a perfect right to go to a ball game Sunday afternoon, and devised this methocl to force other ball players and farm not as religiously in- clined as himself, to attend church. As a result of this amicable arrangement, baseball tickets will be distributed next Sunday in several local churches. AV the retaliatory steps forcing the churches to do without paid vocalists, as threat- ened by the baseball magnates, will be stopped. District Attorney Blakeley has promised to take no measures against the ball players unlessfurther informa- tions are made, and the ministers have promised to make no further informa- tions.

Station,. Saw Mill, Cars, Stable; Etc, Destroyed. Men Quit Fighting Fire Owing to the Intense Heat, Dauphin, Man., May 30. -Chief Forest Ranger Davis has returned from Mia. tatimSask., bringing back 'a discourag-4 ing report. The fir. has made ,great headway in the bush and so hot and dangerous was the work that 150 men refused to continue. This left him help - lees, and the fire free to run at will. It looks now as if the fire will spread- over the entire limit, and destroy it. If the wind keeps up and no rain fails, ether valuable limits may be burned.

Mistatirn, Sask., May 30. -Without a moment's warning and while a train crew and men were making almost sup- erhuman efforts to save Mackenzie & Mann's lumber and camps west of Mis- tatim, fire swept down on the Cowan Construction Company's eamps about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and in less than thirty minutes from the time the approach of the fire was first noticed had swept across the track and had emu- pletely destroyed the sawmill, seventeen C. N. 11. box car camps, stables, sterol and other buildings and a considerable quantity of lumber. The mill and lum- ber were insured. The min will likely be rebuilt, as there is a summer's cut of logs in the pond untouched by the fire. With the amount of timber de- stroyed in the bush and the ties burned along the track, the lessee will be ex- ceedingly heavy and may exceed a lion dollars. Trains have been unable to go through the fire for the •last eighteen hours and telegraph linea are burned down in many places. The traek • is also burned in aeveral places and the fire is spreading and running east before the northwest wind with no sign of rain. There seems to be nothing that will prevent it reaching Shaw Bros! lim- its east of hew. The whole country from near Creolaid River to Bannock, thirty miles ha length, seems to be al- most conaplete1y fire -swept,, and it Is unknown how far north and south the fire has spread, but it must be many mike. Conditione along the railway line to -day are considerably irepeoved, and the fire has evidently spent itself along the track.

IS THIS TRUE? Report That Steamer Failed to Go to Rescue of the Goodyear. Detroit, May 30. -That there is likely to be criminal action taken as tha result of the sinking of the steamer Goodyear by the steamer Wood, entailing a loco of sixteen lives, is the statement of th• United States vessel inspeetor, vv. W. Stewart, made at Port Huron to -day. Since Wednesday the investigation has been going on behind closed doors, th• witnesses being members of the ererr of the Wood and survivors of the Good- year. Much testimony of a sensational character has already been elieited which will undoubtedly- call for explanations from Hie officers of the steamer Sir Wil- liam Siemens, when that vessel reaches Duluth. The Siemens is the boat WhiOk WOA thought to have picked up Genie sur- vivors of the Goodyear she having pass- ed over the spot within a fevr minutes after the eollision, and was within firs hundred feet at the time the vessels ceme together and while some of the sailors were yet struggling in the water. It is affirmed that the Siemens neith- er checked her speed nor lowered a boat. Captain J. W. Westeott, of this eity, dares he cannot credit the story, awt is eonfident Captain McElroy did all pos- sible to succor the drowning Men. - CHURCH & PEOPLE Springs of Church Life in London k,Said to be Drying Up.
