 New York. Aug. 20.-Although he himself expressed some doubt as to the authenticity of the record. the time-keepers who held the watch on three trial flights of c. F. Willard in the Curtiss aeroplane on Hempstead Plains. Mineola, l.. l.. early to-day. declare the aviator travelled at all times at the rate of 60 miles an hour. the fastest time by far ever made in heavier-than-aid machine. More than a thousand people gathered be- fore daylight to watch Willard. who is using a machine built for the Aero Club of America by Glenn Curtiss the Hammondsport, N. Y.. aviator. It is this machine which the Wright broth ere' declare is a violation of their pat ent rights. -i The flight was made shortly before o'clock the machine rising from earth with a great burst of speed. The aviator circled over Camp Black e7d then went to Hampstead and covered a distance of. 3 miles which he made in minutes and 56 seconds. slightly more than a mile minute.
 The machine worked so well that Willard attempted another flight. fol- lowing the same course but travelling in a wider sweep. This flight appear ed to be even faster than the first and was negotiated in minutes fiat.
 On the third flight Willard had trou- ble with his rudder and, was forced to make hurried descent. 1t was found that the canvas covering had been split. It will be repaired in very short time.

CHARLES N. RUdGLEs DEAD
CITY IN OFFICIAL POSITIONS.


 Charles Napoleon Ruggles died at his home 2269 Main street last even ing after an illness of some months with cirrhosis of the liver The de- ceased was a native of this city where he was born March 16, 1884, the son gles. In early life he went south and engaged in business with Edward Harral, but after a few years return ed to this city and opened livery ing that was later used by the city as an Emergency hospital. Several years ago he retired from business and erected handsome home on North Main street where he has since resided. MT. Ruggles was always a Democrat in politics.
 He represented the Seventh District in the Common Council, 1896 and 1897, where he did honest and efficient ser vice. He was appointed a member of the board of assessors by Mayor Thos. P. Taylor, in 1897, but served only a few days, finding that the work did not please him, and did good service for the city in that office. While serving as alderman he built a resi- dence on North Main street and nov ed into the northern section of the city where he has since lived. He consistently believed that this section of the .city had a future before it as a residential section and lived to see a substantial boom in real estate values there and the erection of many handsome residences. By this increa SC in values he is said to have prof1tted considerably. Hesw twice married and had one son, George, an excep- tionally talented boy who died at the age of 15 years while completing his course in high school in preparation for college.
 As judge of horses he had few peers and owned several of the speed jest animals in the city.

Bankers Object
 To Smaller Notes
Especial from United Press,

Especial from Un1ted PreSSO
 Washington Aug. 20.-Considerab1e
 pposition is being manifested by the banks of the country to the sugges- tions of Secretary of the Treasury Macveagh that the size of the Amer lean ban1xnotes should be smaller They do not care how ornate the Treasury shall make its notes and think 1t would be a good idea to have khem as artistic as possible. But when it comes to making a change an the size the National banks point out that there are practical objections in the way. In the first place if the Treasury made it's notes smaller every have to make It's notes conform. That would mean that practically all of the National banks of the United States would have to change the plates from which their notes are printed Each bank that issues notes has at least three of these plates for denominations of $20,$ ,$10 and s and some have more.
 The engraving of these plates costs s25 each and the work has to be done at the Bureau of Engraving and Print ing in this city. To change all of these plates would not only cost each bank quite sum of money but would take a lot of time.
 Another objection from the practical standpoint is that throughout the country the drawer of the paying tel Ter of a bank is fitted with capacities the size of the bills, it is claimed, would cause great inconvenience and that eventually it would be necessary to make oyer the drawers of every bank so that partitions would conform to the size of the bills.

Notes of warn ing sounded from dozen important sources during the past week have re- suited in putting every one on the qui vive for a. sharp reaction. Though the initial prices showed fractional changes mostly downward, there were strong evidences of good support and the bolder ones were passing the word about that every big interest in the Street was ready to support the mar ket.
 On every hand the one big question was what is Harriman's real physical condition?' and the United Press dis patch from Vienna quoting Professor Struempel, the famous specialist, say ing that Hartman had been restored to Comparative health'' but would not be able to resume business activity, was seized upon by the bears who were forestalled in their efforts to use the news by the inside support.
 Good sized blocks came out in all the Hartman issues resulting in fractional changes the tendency of all of which was downward. The shake-out in Reading was a slight affair.

Young Turks Divided
 To the Breaking Point
Especial from United Press.)

(SDeC1dl rom On1IeQ PreSS.)
 Constantinople, Aug. 20.-The tenta- tive acceptance by the government of the second reply of Greece to Turkey S note regarding Crete has so divided the Young Turks party that there is to-day danger of the disintergation of the party with a serious threat of fresh civil war. The Young Turks at Salonica and Monster are bitterly opposing the governments foreign foreign policy in which for the first time conservatism and a high degree of diplomacy are playing part They contend that Crete's affront should have been mel by prompt sending of a force against Greece and resort to the diplomacy rather than to the ac- ton which has thrown the provincial members of the party into decidedly war1ike mood.
 So far the Young Turks group in the capitol-the conservative group-has been able to overrule the provincial group. The radicals. though younger and less experienced than the con> servatives. are the more numerous and they are to-day threatening an open breach that will result in a repetition of the bloody scenes of the recent revo- lution.
