Flight Also World Record For
Speed
SAILS OVER IS MILES
MonopIane Buffeted by Gale But Re-

Fuel Was Exhausted
SAILS OVER s5 MILES

Bethany Aviation Field, Rheims,
Aug. 27.-In his second attempt We'd
lnesday afternoon Hubert Latham the
French aviator, broke the worlds re-
cord for time and distance.
He came down after he had cover
ed about 1853 kilometres or 95.O1
miles. The record distance was 1907
miles made by Paulham.
The breeze when Latham got away
was less than three metres a second
but there were ominous black clouds
on the horizon and during the avia-
tors fourth lap sharp squat of wind
and rain broke over the aerodrome.
The. spectators did not believe 1t pos
slble for Latham to ride out the
storm but to their delight he mounted
higher and took his machine over the
tribunes at height of 800 feet.
The first round was done In min

Americans are rejoicing at Latham's
splendid showing, as the Antoinette
motor used by the Frenchman to drive
his monoplane is the invention of an
American named Joseph Adams.
During Latham's fifth and sixth
laps the official signals indicated
wind blowing at the rate of ten metre
a second. The spellbound crowd
breathlessly watched the frail mach
inc battling against the gusts. The
wings of the monoplane often fiutter-
ed like those of a bird caught in
heavy storm, but the machine main
tanned its steady progress. Latham
smiled and waved his hand In res
ponse to the enthusiastic cheering as
he passed over the tribune.
Latham covered 43.47 miles in one

which is a record for speed

BATTLE BOUND TO
BE BITTERLY
FOUGHT
Contest for Conservation is
For Enormous Stake
NATIONAL CONGRESS MEETS
Opening Address Pays High Tribute
to Efforts of Forester Clifford
Pinchot

Seattle, Wash. Aug. 27.-Represen-
tatives from forty-fve states were
present today at the opening session
of the national conservation congress
when it was called to order In the
auditorium at the exposition grounds
by II. w. Carroll, chairman of the ex-
ecutiye board of the Washington
state conservation congress.
Joseph ~ Teal of Portland, Ore, a
member of the national joint commit
tee of conservation and prominent at
the conference in Washington last
winter delivered the keynote address
at the opening session.
He said in part:
Conservation involves moral
question, and moral questions are
never settled until settled right. The
contest for conservation is bound to
be bitter. With the enormous stake
that is at issue, victory will not be
complete until every possible effort
on the part of private interests to alb
sorb the rich prizes have been ex-
hausted
Conservation means that the well
fare of the people as a whole should
be considered rather than the enrich
ment OF the favored few.
THE people are awakening and the
battle for the preservation of their
right to participate in the natural
public wealth is now on. A striking
illustration OF this fact is the policy
granting water power rights in per
petuity. If it were proposed, under
blanket act, to grant every water
power right in this state to one man
or corporation public opinion would
drive every participant i'm the act
from the state, dishonored. Yet every
state Legislature, except that of Ore
tigation has disclosed that there ex-
lists today a scheme by which sub
stantially every water power right in
the country will soon be concentrate
ed in the hands of few men.
Mr.. Roosevelt inauguratedN this pol
icy of conservation, and the greatest
work of the government for conser-
walton was begun under his admins
tration II required Roosevelt to in
augurate the movement; 1t required
men inspired by the same unselfisn
devotion to the public good to con
tinue IT, Fortunately we have as
leader a man, who. in my Judgment
represents the highest type of Ameri-
can citizenship-Gifford Pinchot."
Mr.. Teal quoted from President
Taft's speech, praising Pinchot at
conference of Governors in Washing
ton last December and declared thar
President Taft was conservationist

is an airship that few days ago
made a flight of thirty-siX hours GOV

it is an airship that is coming to the

looking for, here they are.
After Tuesday noon, you will spend
most of your time on the grand stand
where you will hear excellent music
by the best bands that can be secured
and see some of the best special at
fractions direct from the New York
Hippodrome, among them being Tee
1ow's Wonderful Performing Cats, a
special feature of which is the cele-
brated cat fight in the middle of the
tight wire-guaranteed to drive away

And the races will be the best
