NEW SPEED RECORD
 MADE BY CURT|SS THE CLOSING EVENT AT RHEIMS
 YESTERDAY.
American Ready for the Great Event
 Next Sunday.

Rheims, Aug. 25.-uIenn IT. Curtiss, ham, representing France, divided honors on the second day of aviation week The former made a thrilling flight just before dusk in which he lowered the speed record for the course which measures six and one fifth miles to , minutes and 8 2-5 seconds. The latter made two inn pressive high altitude flights of 49k and 5G kilometers respectively in the endurance test for the PriX de La Champagne.
 The Curtiss performance began just as the time limit for the stare of the Prix de LaChampagne when the American enthusiasts had abandoned hope of seeing their representative take the field. Bleriot only a few minutes before had clipped sixteen seconds off LeFevre's rcord.
 Suddenly at the end of the field the cry went up, "The American is start ing.p All eyes were strained on that particular point where Courtland Field Bishop president of the Aero Club of America, and a crowd of other admir- CTS surrounded Curtiss. With pre- liminary run along the ground of 100 yards the machine rose lightly and Shot by the tribunes at a height of sixty feet It was going at a terrific pace with the wing level as a plane. Curtiss made the last turn under mistaken impression that the finish 1e- TJa 6aCnanAa6 close to the earth that many thought he touched, but perceiving his error, he mounted quickly, crossing the line majestically. An instant later the signal was hoisted that he had made 2 record.
 Culrtiss said that he had not pushed his machine to- its limit, adding that the most interesting incident of his flight was the view he got of his fallen rivals strewn around the course. The American aviator intends now to await patiently the international event for the James Gordon Bennett cup on Saturday, for which he is again the fay0rite, after which he will try for the Prix de Lavites, the final of which will be contested on Saturday.

NO FEDERAL MOVEMENT
 AGAINST GOVERNOR REYES
The Government Recognizes His Great
 Popularity

Laredo, Aug. 2S.-It can be stated with certainty that recently there has been no movement from Saltillo. Mon terey or Montemorelos in the vicinity of Galeana. The two former cities are on the line O. the National Railways of Mexico. Montemorelos is on the line of the Mexican Central or the old Monterey and Mexican Gulf Road line, running from Monterey to Tam pico. No troops traversed either of these lines today. General Reyes is quietly waiting near Galeana and is taking no part in the political efforts of the Reyists to bring about his can didacy for the vice. presidency.
 So popular is Reyes with his party that it is feared that any effort on the part of the federal government to arrest him would incite his jealous partisans to such an extent that riot and bloodshed would result.

prove what have said. When will 1 run again? I presume that it will be some time near the first of October, when I go to San Francisco for the Olympic meet"
 Harry left on the Marieopa and Phoenix for Sacaton in the evening. The Hopi is an altogether different person since he has returned from Seattle. All the self f-consciousness is gone and he talks, and fluently. In fact he makes it rather embarrassing for his interrogator with his purity of English.
 On the return from the fair, Harry and his trainer, Lewis, were asked to stop off at San Francisco and give an exhibition pace before the Olympic club in that city, before which Harry will run this fall. Paced by Bellairs and Ballard, the coming athlete of Boston, the red skin tripped round the track for three miles in IS minutes and 45 seconds, rather good time for the first workout since leaving Seat tie Of course it was not 8 race, as Lewis knew too well the folly of run ming his man hard after being cramped in a sleeper for over two days. Harry hated to hold back and only be paced, but as ever he followed the advice of Lewis and is in better condition for it now.
 The record of the Hopi from Phoenix is marvellous one, and spectacular. His future has many brilliant predic- tions by Walter Christy and others up in things athletic. Mclean was found only a few months ago at the Indian school by Lewis, where he had taken every thing entered in. Eight weeks ago Lewis started to whip him into shape for the Los Angeles Marathon, which he won, beating his man over mile and a half. and then ran the three mile event the next day in re- cord-breaking time.
 He made wonderful time at Seattle. even if he ran but twenty laps. for the day was drizzly, and a hard wind that cut directly into his face on the home stretch.
 The Indian will probably be taken to the East this fall or early in the coming spring, after he has been en- tered into several Western meets. At the present time he will be given a chance to rest and get over being stale from his hard work of the past eight weeks, which has undoubtedly been the case from his everyday hard workout.

4 HUNT FOR THE MISSING
Strikers Appalled, by Ex- tent of the Fatalities The Search by Troopers for Participants in That Bloody Riot.

Pittsburg, Aug. 23.-Three columns of smoke came from the chimneys of the Pressed Steel Car company's plant in Schoenville tonight, the place be- ing in operation despite the effort of mobs to scare off the imported work ingmen. The strikers seemed to realize for the first time that the com pany could do without them. More state police have been ordered here to augment, the company's mounted con stabularly on duty at the car plant The strikers realize that the mounted troops are too much for them. Yet all day the troopers were subjected to abuse from windows and doors when ever they chanced to pass strike sympathiZers' homes. In this relation. every striker or sympathizer who left his doorstep was. searched. Besides searching, the troopers examined the strikers personally. and if they bore bruises or traces of being clubbed they were promptly arrested as the troopers considered such evidence proof that the men had participated in last nights riOting. Twenty-Five men were arrested before nightfan. Those who resisted were manacled to horses and dragged through the streets to the plant entrance. ss
 At noon the great bells of the cath edral in McKee's Rocks began tolling. This was kept up for over two hours. Then the bells were ordered silenced by the state troops, as it was pointed out that such demonstrations agitated the strikers.
 The strikers wives besieged Lieu tenant Smith of the state constabu- lary for news of their missing hus- bands. The lieutenant had ten hats gathered from the bloody corner after the conflict last night. Several of the women declared that the hats belonged to their husbands or sons. The strickers seemed awed at the ex- tent of last nights fatalities. It is announced that the government will heed the peOnage charge against President F. N. Hoffstot and Foreman Samuel Cohn of the Pressed Steel Car company to the extent of making a thorough investigation of the allega- tions made by Albert Vamos. who swore to the charges before United States Commissioner Lindsey on Sat urday.

AN EXAMINATION
 FOR FOREST RANGERS
Many Vacancies Occurring in the Ser
 vice.

Albuquerque. N. M, Aug 23.-(Spec- cial Correspondence of The Republi can)-An examination to fill vacan cies in the ranger force on all national forests in district 3 will be held Octo Der % and 26 From this examination it is expected that 75 appointments will be made on national forests in this district
 The examination will be held at the headquarters of each national forest in the district, at the following places: Dougles, Flagstaff. Nogales. Prescott, Stafford, Snowflake, Roosevelt, Spring erville. and Tucson, Arizona; Harrison and Mesa, Arkansas. Defuniak Springs, Florida, Alamagordo. Albuquerque, Capftan, Gallup, Magdalena. Santa Fe and Silver City, New Mexico, and Caone Oklahoma.
 While the examination is entirely along practical lines and knowledge of field conditions rather than book learning is considered essential, the opportunities for there applicants with educational advantages are consider ably increased. The rapid development of the national forests is making con tinually increasing demands upon those engaged in their management, and men with ability to assume re- sponsibility and serve in supervisory capacities are in demand. These more responsibilite positions on the national forests are filled by promotion from lower grades, so that anyone entering as ranger is eligible for promotion to any of the more responsible and higher paid places, including that of forest supervisor.
 Only those men who are at least 21 years of age, not more than 40, of good character. temperate, and in good physical condition, are eligible to take this examination. The salary paid to beginners is S900 a year.
 Applicants can secure information concerning the examination from the district forester at Albuquerque. N Mex, forest supervisors or the United States civil service commission, Wash ington, D. c.

Harry Mclean returned from Seat tie last evening. stopping on his way to run an exhibition race at San Fran cisco, before the Olympic club of that city. He took the evening train for his hone in Sacaton, where his Hopi wife is waiting for him. When he will return to Phoenix to start training for the eastern event is not known. He is booked for meet in San Francisco about october l.
 In an interview with John Lewis. his trainer last evening stated that he has been more than satisfied with the red skins performances. and also with the treatment that was given them while at the Northwest meet. He was especially compliment tary to MT. Walker of the Mathno- mutt club of Portland. where they stopped en route to Seattle. Accom- mOdations of the best kind were given the runner, and the Elks of Seattle almost made a god of the Hopi, over five hundred turning out in a body to see him upset the Seattle predictions and drive Beilars into the ground after twenty laps of gruelling, grinding, killing running.
 Speaking of the race itself, he stated that it was the greatest event of the day, Mclean and Bellars taking turns in the lead The race was not an easy one, and Mclean had his first real contest since his advent on the track. Jackson and Cooil of Seattle took the lead of the five mile grind, with Bellars and Mclean close behind; but the first ones soon found the pace too much and dropped back, Cooil out and Jackson plodding along behind. It was nip and tuck between Bellars and Harry until the last lap or, to be more exacting, the last lap that was run, for by those who know, 1t is stated that the referee failed to snap his gun on the first lap of the final mile, and this made the runners take twenty-one laps to finish the five miles instead of twenty. But this is not a matter that will be taken up, as good time was made at 26:1O. instead of better than 25 had the race finished at the twentieth lap. The crowds sympathies were with the copper skinned Hopi and when ever he foraged ahead of Bellars mighty cheer rent the air Both men, after Mclean had stumbled into 220-yard starting home, sprinted the last lap, and came home as if running the 440- yard dash, with Harry passing his rival ten yards to the good in the last 100 yards.
 In talking with Harry Mclean at the train last night he said, "They tell me that for once a good Indian is not a dead Indian and I believe it. Yes, l tried to run the best I could and l haven't a thing to regret. Had the day not been one of sleet and a sharp wind blowing I might have made bet ter time, but I feel that I made a worlds record, for I ran twenty laps instead of twenty for the five miles. Everyone was excited as Bel Iairs and took turns in the lead, and the judges forgot when the referee failed to warn us at the first lap of the last mile. What the judges said goes with me. for l know that I ran twenty-one better than anyone else, and Bellairs knows it too. My time is coming to show that I can run the same time over again, and that will

 2. FOR ARMY RECRUITING
A Convenient Time to Carry Out
 Presidents Economical Program

Washington. Aug. 23.-Returning prosperity is having an effect on recruiting men for the United States army, making it more difficult to keep up the standard established dur ing the months following the panic of 1907, when splendid material was available from the ranks of the un- employed. The authorized strength of the army is S4,5OO men, exclusive of the hospital corps, which numbers $500 men. It will not be a hard matter therefore to reduce the, size of the standing army in accordance with President Taft's wishes.
 Possibly the cause of the reduction is the difficulty in obtaining men. but the real cause is economy.
