LOUIS 5LERIOT, FRENCHMAN,
IN AERoPLANE, SUCCESSFUL
LY FLIES TO DOVER.
BEATS OUT COMPETITORS
Leaves Calais Ear'y This Morning
and Lands in Dover, Without Harm
TORPEDO Boats Follow Aeronaut
Latham Intended to Make Trim
toDay-Wind Comes Up.

DOVER, July 24.-Louis Bieriot, the
French aviator accomplished the re-
markab.e feat of flying across the En-
glish channel this morning in 23 min
utes. The distance from his starting
point near Calais to Dover is about %
miles, and he therefore travelled at the
rate of nearly nile a minute.
The aviator left the French shore
at 4:30 and within a few minutes sight
ed the white cliffs of the English coast.
He descended gracefully in the north
fall meadow behind Dover Castle at
4: SO a. m.
M. Bleriot looked little the worse
for his hazardous trip although his
foot was burned by petrol. This gave
him some trouble and he had to be
assisted to an automobile which was
waiting. He drove to the Lord War
den hotel, where he was greeted enthu-
siastically.
Torpedoboat Left Behind.
A French torpedo boat destroyer fol-
lowed the aeroplane but so swift was
the speed of the machine that the de-
stroyer was soon lerr far behind. AL
though the start was made in calm
weather, the wind soon rose and a
very strong breeze was blowing at the
time of Bledots descent, making the
performance all the more noteworthy.
The French torpedo boat destroyer
arrived at Dover at 6: so with Bleri-
OTIS wife and a party of friends on
board.
BY this achievement today Bleriot
wins the special prize OF $4,000 offered
by the London Daily Mail.
1t was the intention of Herbert
Latham to make an attempt to cross
the channel this morning but it is
understood that the high wind that
arose after M. Bleriots start Latham
refused to make the venture.

Lumber, Goa! and Oil Next.

Little consideration has been given
thus far to lumber coal or oil. The
senate conferees are insisting upon
$50 on rough lumber, while the house
members say they will hold out for a
dollar rate.
Coal, it is said, win be made duti-
able at As cents a ton. 1t is settled
that the reciprocal free trade pro-
vision adopted by the house will be
elm mated; that oil will go on the
free list through the rejection of the
countervailing duty adopted by the
senate.
The glove and hosiery schedules
which were materially increased by the
house over the Dingley rates. remain
unsettled.

Kinds and Cannon Decide 1t.

Reports reached the conference
room late today that Speaker Cannon
and Parliamentarian Kinds had de-
cided- that it would be out of order
for the conferees to adopt a rate on
boots or shoes lower than the rate
adopted by either branch of congress

clared that there must be proper

CALAIS. July 25-M. Bler.ot at
4 35 a. m started in his monoplane foc
the flight across the channel. He
made several trial flights prior to the
start, occupying about ten minutes.
The weather was fine and no WIND
was stirring rpedo boat destroy
er followed the aeroplane at full
speed. Two tropedo boat destroyers
ware off Sangate at 5:10 a. m. await
ing the appearance of Herbert Latn-
am. who also intended to make an
attempt to cross the channel.
At that hour the wind was rising
and Latham failed to appear. IL Is
not probable that he will make start
this morning.

Some Senators Dissatisfied.

Some of the western senator's are
said to be greatly dissatisfied with the
action taken by the conferees in de-
creasing rates on lead and its prod
ucts 1t was said that it would take
very little to induce them to vote
against the conference report
Mr.. Al0rich was of the opinion that
the conferees could reduce rates below
those fixed by either house without
the adoption of a concurrent resolu-
ton. A canvass will be made to as
certain whether such resolution can
be adopted.
Iron ore was taken up at the after
noon session today, but the rate was
not fixed

WHY CHANGE TEAcHERss

In justice to the two estlmable
young women, who declined re-
election to their positions in the
Burns Public schools. | take
space here to refute the unjust
and lnischievious insinuations
that they perhaps were not ask
ed to serve another year by the
Board of Directors.
Each Of the young ladies was
offered her position for the en-
suing year by the unanimous
vote of the beard and each one
stated after declining, that she
had planned even from the be-
ginning of the year that this would
be her last year in teaching at
least for q time as she needed
rest. One having taught steadi-
ly for nine years, the other for
twelve years. Now the mem
bers of the board having the
highest regard for the truth and
candor of these two young ladies'
characters, after urging each to
reconsider her decision desisted
further to interogate either on
her private affairs, as both are
young women Of good common
sense, the board abided by their
decision of course, and have not
since busted themselves in prying
into the personal affairs Of
either.
