MANY MACHINES READYFOR

TESTS.

One Time.


ing in straight lines, making wide
turns or wheeling abruptly, travelling
slow and fast and low and high, Of
fered a striking spectacle to $4,000
persons on the field of Bethany yes
terday. Two slight accidents occurred.
M. Dumanst, driving an Antoinette
machine, came to the ground sideways
and broke one of the runners of his
aeroplane, and M. Goffroy, in an Es-
nault-Palterie monoplane, had accom-
plished a flight of kilometer when
the machine struck hedge, demolish-
ing the propeller.
This was the second practice day
before the commencement of the prize
flights of aviation week, and many of
the aviators took advantage of the
favorable weather to try out their
craft. Glenn H. Curtiss, the Ameri-
can, was given an ovation after a
flight of seven minutes. Although the
motor of his machine was bit cratic,
the bi-plane sped straight without
swaying. Mr.. Curtiss declared that he
was ready for the races.
Hubert Latham also was applauded
for a spectacular flight of ten min
utes, M. Bleriot, driving a small forty
horse power monoplane, made SER
les of, maneuvers druing which he
demonstrated his masterful hand at
aviation.
Sommers Sails Out of Sight.
M Sommers, who recently, though
unofficially, beat Wilbur Wright's rec
ord for duration of flight, speeded
across the plateau during the after
noon and was lost to sight in the
haze 1t was thought by spectators
that he had descended, but he sudden
ly reappeared. When he landed he
announced that he had been to the
village of Vinney.
During the evening there was some
wind, but Count Lambert and NJ Le-
fevre, both using Wright bi-planes,
braved the breeze and simultaneously
made evolutions which demonstrated
the ease and facility with which ma
chimes of the Wright model may be
sailed. Lefevre was particularly sue
cessful in handling his craft. Once
he wheeled abruptly over the heads
of the spectators.
There was great outburst of en-
thusiasm as Bleriot and Sommer,
crossing each others machines in the
air, each politely dipped his machine
in salute. There is now total of
twenty-eight machines on the ground,
but not all of them are ready for the
flight.
An expert in aviation said that if
Curtiss' motor held out he had an ex-
cellent chance of winning the big in
ternational event, and general opin-
ion that this race lies between Bier
lot and Curtiss is daily expires sed.

Save Much Time.

President Taft believes that much
time will be saved for the Interstate
Commerce Commission by this plan.
AS was Roosevelt's belief, President
Taft thinks that the railroads should
be relieved of certain operations of
the Sherman law, and should be in a
position to make combinations and
agreements providing they are under
the governments supervision and not
in restraint of trade. Taft believes
that the penalties for combinations
in restraint of trade should be heav-

MR., TAFT WOULD CHANGE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW

Washington, Aug. 21.-President
Taft contemplates making several rad
ical changes in the interstate COM
merce laws. With this idea in view
a conference is to be held in New York
within the next two weeks, and sew
eral contemplated changes in the
Sherman antitrust law also will be
taken up at this time.
The members of the conference will
suggest that President Taft recon-
mend the alterations in his next mes
sage to congress. He plans more eff
fective government supervision over
railroads and plans to relieve the In
terstate Commerce Commission of
many burdens and restrictions.
Plans Many Changes.
Taft has requested the committee
to put his plans in concrete form. He
plans to divest the commission of adj
ministrative power, establish it as a
quasi-judicial body, with power to de-
termine cases and enforce it's rulings,
and to limit appeals only to supreme
court in constitutional questions.
The president plans to establish a
bureau in the commerce and labor de-
partment, and to this bureau will be
turned over all questions referring to
labor administration, safety appli-
ances and employees laws. This bu-
reau also will have the power to set
tie all minor differences between ship
pers and railroads and will control
the filing of rates and investigate COM
plants.
