PERFECT FLIGHT
At FIRST TRIAL
AER0PLANE BUILT ON SCIEN.
TIFIC LINES REMAINS IN AIR
UNDER PERFECT CONTROL
AT FIRST TRIAL.

That flying through the air will
soon become the sport OF the many
and not confined to the few whose
names are daily before the public is
evidenced by the following, clipped
from an Exchange:
In an aeroplane which had never
been In the air, or otherwise pre-
viously tried, DR.. william c. Greene
yesterday at Morris. Park race track
made six successful flights. His
longest flight covered about six hun
dred feet. while the shortest was
hot under seventy-hve yards. At
times the machine rose to height
OF twenty-five feet.
DR.. Greene Is one of the colony OF
earnest workers who have made Nor
ris Park race track conspicuous by
their efforts to fly during the last
eighteen months.
} The aeroplane which flew yester-
day Is built almost like the Curtiss
biDlane and Is frankly copied from
the machine which the champion
sold to the Aeronautic Society.
This Plane a Splinter.
The aeroplane which made the
flight yesterday Is 40 feet wide and
about 20 feet long, 1t Is equipped
with British-American aero motor,
developing 20 horsepower. 1t has
precisely the same steering gear as
the Curtiss machine. with the excep-
ton OF the rear rudder, which is
copied from the Wright machine.
When DR.. Greene turned IN his
motor yesterday he demonstrated
that his propeller, made by Smith
a Brauner. gave more speed than
any screw that has ever been seen
In action In New York. The aero
plane started on Its preliminary run
with a businesslike squirt. After
running along the ground for a scant
100 feet DR.. Greene jammed up lie
front planes, and to the gratifica
tion OF the 800 spectators, who had
waited all afternoon. the large aero

plane obliquely rose into the air. IL
travelled rapidly. When 1t had
scarcely lifted from the ground II
settled ON an even keel, indicating
that II had been very cleverly bal
anced. The first flight, which did
hot extend more than $50 feet, was
marked by an evenness of riding
that Is not characteristic of large
oeroplanes.
On his next trip DR.. Greene rose
higher. 1t was natural to suppose
that he would be rather nervous on
his first trial. but he waved at the
persons below him as IL he were
veteran aviator. The third trip was
over marked course of 800 feet.
The machine left the ground at the
place which had been staked out and
came down Just about where It was
supposed to. touch the ground.
Higher at Each trial.
At each succeeding trial DR..
Greene lifted his aeroplane higher
into the air and acquired confidence.
When he rose twenty-five feet In the
air the craft was outlined against
the yellow evening sky like the skel-
eton OF some huge bird. The biplane
rode the air currents ON Its 600 feet
dash with slightly undulating
movement. 1t seemed to soar like n
bird and reminded one somewhat OF
the Wright machine in action.
After making his longest fight
DR.. Greene was advised to quit, as
II was getting dark, but he had tast-
ed success and wished to continue.
He got In the air very well, but
when he came down he could not
judge the distance, and in trying to
bring the machine to a stop while It
was running along the ground he
steered the, front wheel into an en-
bankment and crush It. The dam
age is slight.
DR.. Greene will attempt tomorrow
to win the 500 in gold offered by
Capt. Albert C. Triaca to the mem
Der of the Aeronautic Society who
makes the first flight of 500 feet un-
der official control.
This machine is built to stand
rough weather as well as calm.
DR.. Greene never was in the air
until he piloted the Smith e. Braun
machine on short flight last week
Till 1t smashed. He is a member OF
the Aeronautic Society and OF the
Aero Club .of America.

Chicago, April 15.-Wheat bulls re.
ceived setback today on the board OF
trade, when July tumbled 4M cents:
May 81, and September aM. Patten
bought furiously all along the line. and
the close showed reaction averaging
something over cent.
Purchases by James A. Patten ana
his immediate associates during the
iinal fifteen minutes of trade approxi-
mated 100000 bushels of May, july
and September wheat. The market was
nervous all day. Favorable reports from
Illinois and Missouri as to the growing
crop led to steady selling of Septem-
Der, which was further encouraged by
scent drop at Winnipeg. where 1t
was reported exporters were selling
wheat purchased for the European
market The northwestern markets
were weak all day. Prices here how
ever, with the exception of September,
held up till near the close May and
July both established new high re-
cords, thus maintaining their record
of having risen consistently to a new
high level each trading day for forts
night.

to the tariff bill to reduce by 20 per
cent all steel schedules; to reduce plate
glass and to apply the new maximum
and minimum system, under which he
believes foreign trade in farm prod
ucts will be encouraged, especially in
Europe. The Cummins anti shelter to
monopoly amendment is the subject of
more discussion just now than any
other proposal in the way of tariff ad-
ministration. The old line tariff people
will fight it to the end, and a strong
section of democrats also, especially
those who have big protection interests
in their state. But the progressive re-
publicans strongly favor it and sew
eral conferences by them have been
held. They claim at most a dozen
votes for 1t, including Cummins, Brs-
tow, Brown, Burkett, LaF'ollette.

Washington, April 15.-At a meeting
OF the committe on finance today 1t
was agreed that the opening of the
discussion on the tariff bill should go
over until Monday.
The senate today agreed to the re-
quest Of the house for q conference
on the census bill. The request Of the
house for the return Of the tariff bill
in order that the oil schedule might be
amended was granted. Bailey intro
duced an income tax amendment to
the tariff bill. 1t provides for a straight
tax Of per cent on all incomes above
$4,000 per year.
Bailey said the amendment would
raise from $6O,OOO,0OO to $8O,OOO,00O
revenue annually, and he hoped there
would be provision in the bill to re-
duce the customs revenues an equal
amount.
Shortly after the senate agreed to
return the tariff bill to the house for
correction in the oil schedule the
measure was brought back to the sem
ate and received with the proposed
amendment.

SENDS SPECIAL MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS RECOMMENDING
TARIFF CONCESSIONS.
REVENUES OF ISLANDS
MENAcED BY PAYNE BILL.
President Desires Free Trade Between
Islands and United States Except as
to Protective Principle = Senator
Stone Argues for Absolute Free
Trade, With Independence Promised.

Washington, April 15.-The president
today sent to congress special mes
sage in relation to the Philippine tariff.
The message transmits the recommen-
dations by the secretary of war for a
revision of the Philippine tariff so as to
permit as much customs revenue as
possible for the islands, and at the
same time to extend to the islands the
principle of a protective tariff for its
industries. Under conditions which
will arise from the enactment of the
tariff bill pending in congress, which
provides under certain conditions for
free trade between the Philippines and
the United States, the revenues of the
islands will be considerably affected,
and numerous protests have been re-
ceived here on this account. The pro-
posed amendments to the bill are to in
terfere as little as possible with these
free trade conditions, and at the same
time permit the collection of ample
revenue
Generally speaking, the bill submit
ted by the president makes slight in
crease in the rates Of duty now pro-
vided in the Philippine tariff. but Its
trainers say its tendency is to insure
as far as practicable the benefits of the
Philippine market for American manu-
facturers and products. The bill makes
some additions to the free list. There
will be an increase in internal revenue
duties by which it is hoped to make UP
the loss which the Philippine Islands
will sustain by the operation of the
free trade provisions in the pending
Payne tariff bill. The internal revenue
laws for the Philippines are enacted by
the Philippine assembly.
