HIGH FLIGHT BY PAULHAM
Frenchman Reaches Height Of 500
Feet in Eighteen-Mile Trip.
NEW RECORD MADE BY BLERIOT
Man Who Crossed the Channel
Travels Ten NiIometers at Rate
of FOrty-six Miles an
Hour.

RHEIMS. Aug. A-A marvelousIy pro-
longed high flight of thirty kllometers-
eighteen and one-half miles-in a twenty
knot breeze by Paulham and the establish
ment of a new worlds record for ten
kllometers at the rate of 74,3lS meters
u~orty-six miles, an hour by Bleriot were
the features OF aerial race meeting today.
Owing to the high wind there would
have been no flights except for the visit
this afternoon OF President Falleries and
his cabinet. The president was accom-
panied also by distinguished officers of
the French and British army. His pres
ence stimulated the SKY pilots, and q
dozen machines were brought out on the
field, but a majority of them were unable
to battle against the wind.
Young B~unau-Varilla, however, with his
machine plunging like a ship In a stormy
sea, managed to navigate the turbulent
air currents for one round. Then Paul
ham, who already had won a reputation
for courage and endurance, began his
thrilling flight. He made the first two
rounds at an altitude of $50 feet, but as
cendlng in front Of the tribunes for the
third circuit, he reached a height Of be.
tween 400 and 500 feet
Horror and Admiration.
The spectators gazed aloft in admiration
mingled with horror, and as they watched,
the biplane struck what seemed a danger
GUS angle. The machine swayed in the
wind, but each time righted itself. Paul
ham completed his exploit with a wonder
full exhibition Of m~aneuverlng. His
achievement has made him the unrtvalled
hero Of the meeting.
Paulham had nothing to gain by the risks
he took, as his flight was not counted in
the endurance test and It is probable that
a much higher rate OF speed will be reached
by the contestants in the prix De La
Vitesse. Paulhams' time today was six
minutes slower than yesterdays for thirty
kilometers.
B1eriot Breaks Record.
Bleriot's record-making lap wal accom-
plished with his eighty-horse-power ma
chine at a low level. He made the circuit
Of six and one-fifth miles in 8 minutes A.
seconds. The best previous record was
made yesterday by Glenn H. Curtiss, the
American aviator s minutes 852S seconds.
Latham put two machines out Of com
mission In an attempt to start. Finally,
just at dusk, he got away and made a
superb flight Of three rounds at an average
height OF 100 feet
This was Latham's second try for the
prlx De La Vitesse, and to the actual time
of 80 minutes 2 seconds, o~ne-twentieth must
be added as penalizatiOn.
The management of the Wright machines
declined to take any chances, explaining
that they had nothing at stake, as these
machines are at present classified as first,
second and third in the prix De La
Vitesse.

shall be reasonable, Judge Baker con-
tinues, IAN not unJustly discriminatory,
and then trust an executive body to hear

would be worthless, for 1t would be ut
terly impraeticable for congress itself to

Thu dissenting Judge states that COM
plant against the commission's orders are
made on two grounds--that the rates are
confiscatory and that hey are discrimin-
ating. The former he dlsmissss with n
brief comparison OF rates. AS to discrim-
nation he states that II this be the case
the railroads have no complaint, but rather
the shippers. .
Railroads interested.
The parties which petitioned for the in
junction were the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railroad company, the Chicago,

way company, the Chicago & Northwest

the Chicago Great Western Railroad com
pany, ct AL The Illinois Central, the

and the Frisco Railroad companies and a
number Of important shipping interests in
tervsned as co-eomplainants.
The question raised" said Judge Cross
cup in rendering his opinion, lin it's larger
aspect, is not so much a question or be-
tween the shippers and the railroads as
between the commercial and manufaetuF-
ing interests Of Denver and Of the territory
east Of the Mississippi river on the one
side, and the commercial and manufaotur-
hqg interests Of the Mississippi river cities
on the other.'
Besides granting the permanent inJunc-
ton in the Missouri river rate case, the
court also granted a preliminary injune-
ton in the Denver rate case which IL based
on similar principles as the Missouri river
case,

case sought to have the Interstate Com
