Congress Opens.

NEW YORK. Oct 2S.-The committee
of the Aero Club Of America, in charge
OF the contests for the Lahm Cup. has
announced that Maj. Alan r. HaWIey.
in the recent contest from ST. Louis.
had won the cup by his flight of 72
miles. when he landed near Baltimore.
Hawley was the only one Of the con
testants in the international race to
notify the Aero Club Of his intention
10 compete for the Lahm Cup at the
same time as he raced for the interna-
tional trophy, in accordance with the
Z conditions governing the trophy.
The other competitors IN the interna-
tional race were informed blythe racing
committee at St. Louis that they could
not race for any other trophy in con-
junction with the big race but the Aero
Club committee declares that the St.
Louis committee had nothing whatever
TO say as TO the Lahm Cup and that
tenton TO try for IL and his subsequent
record superseding the old record en-
titles him to the trophy.
Capt. c. De +. Chandler, of the United
States army, in his trial for the cup a
few days before the Bennett Cup race,
only covered COZ miles. landing in West
Virginia.
1t Is expected, however, that Erbsloch,
winner Of the International Cup, viii try
10 exceed the distance covered by A. R

loon before he returns TO Europe. He

SAYS LONDON'S BISHOP

LONDON, Oct. 2s.-The Bishop Of
London. preaching at Paddington. said
There are several lessons brought
back from America. There is far great
er generosity, love. and trust between
bodies OF Christians and between
schools Of thought in the same church
there than there IS here. 4 was like
another atmosphere TO pass from the
Wrangies Of Great Britain into an at
mosphere where they are unknown.
i found that the bitterness which
disgraces the church at home is IN
known IN the United States, although
there are conscientious differences
there
1T was highly instructive to see the
millionaire from Wall Street sitting side
by side with the wOrkingman represent
Ing New York 1t was true democracy.
There was a feeling Of freedom. a sense
that every individual member OF the
church had to work for the church.
The services We had out there. Talk
or lively services. Talk Of mechanical
ritual. Why I have heard the rafters
shake With praise, and there was no
snealSing home afterward dispirfted and

GIRLS LONG LOCKS
SOUGHT BY FIEND
Man Is Pursued and Caught
After He Had Ruined
Her TresSeS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-There is no In
tent, say friends OF Bessie Klienman,
to make light Of the cowardly work Of
a miscreant who cut of some Of her
braids, but they cannot resist asking
her how she is going TO turn the
corners" as cash girl in a Newark de-
parunent store.
Bessle's braids were admired Dy all
the other girls in the store. When she
ran down the aisles in response to the
call Cash. the braids. hanging to her
knees. were credited with steadying her
as she swiftly turned the corners OF
the counters. Those who attributed
this function to BessIe's braids pointed
out that a rabbit is unable To turn a
corner as sharply as a fox because 1t
has no tail 70 steady it
Bessie IS fourteen and lives IN New
ark She left the store Saturday night
with her chum, Rose Fielder, aged six
teen, who lives near her home. They
were followed by a man as they came
out Of the store. and quickened their
PAGES TO avoid him
Bessie had reached the door Of her
home when the same man stepped for
ward from cOncealment and asked IL a
family named Schwartz lived in the
house The question was merely a ruse
10 detain her. While she was replying
he seized her hair, and she saw a bright
object ike a pair OF scissors fash in
his hand. Bessie screamed and the man
fed.
f A policeman and several citizens
heard her alarm. They pursued and
captured a man after a spirited chase,
who said he was Wilbur Elmer, aged
thirty-One and homeless. The Fourth
precinct police say that Elmer con-
fessed to holding up Bessie in an effort
to cut or her Draids.
