The longest previous flight was OF

Fort Myer last fall.
During the entire flight the machine
was under perfect control, but several
times appeared to the spectators to be
on the point of diving forward. Sew

went up from the throng in recognition
of the splendid achievement.
The machine travelled a distance OF

Wilbur Wright, and at one time dur

tween 260 feet and $50 feet, exceeded
the highest point ever reached by q

Madrid, July 24.-During the night
while the Spanish troops, which are
to reinforce the Spanish garrison at
,Melilla, were preparing to leave for
Malaga, the families of the soldiers
surrounded the railroad station and
charge the police with the object Of
preventing the departure CT their rela-
tives. A desperate melee followed in
which the police used their swords
and revolvers. A dozen persons were
wounded n many others arrested.
General Marina, commander OF the
Spanish forces in Morocco, returned
here today from an inspection of the
outposts. The general declares the
Moors are displaying desperate courage
and using modern weapons. He pre-
diets a long and hard campaign.

Colorado Springs, Volo., july 23-All
that is mortal of Mrs. Margaret Howell
Jefferson Davis Hayes, the tiny me-
tallic urn of ashes, rests in the little
vault in Evergreen cemetery here. The
final honors over "the daughter of the
confederacy." were as simple as she
had wished. There was no show or dis
play of any kind, the service being the
usual Episcopal form, with the singing
of two favorite songs of Mrs. Hayes.
The beautiful residence. located on
famous Cascade avenue, and overlook
Ing Colorado college campu was
thronged by the friends OF the family.
Crowds gathered in the neighboring
streets to pay their last honors to the
dead. In the throng were hundreds OF
southerners, who seemed deeply af-
fected as they stood with barred heads
and watched the little procession bear
the casket In which the urn of ashes
had been placed, from the house TO the
cemetery.

TO CHECK AUTO SPEED
FOR TAFT'S PROTECTION

Beverly, Mass, July 23.-There is a speed
limit for automobiles of 10 miles an hour
in Beverly, but SO far as Is known il has
never been respected. Twenty. 30 and
even &C miles nave been more to the own
ers' taste.
AS the Tafts are enthusiastic automo-
bilists, and even Mrs. Taft rides daily. the
local authorities rave awakened to the
fact that yiolators OF the law are endan-
gering those the town is anxious to pro-
tect. Mayor Trowt. who was nearly run
down by an automobile going, he says, rs
miles an hour. has instructed Chief of Po-
lice Ferguson to mount a policeman on a
motor cycle ana have him follow every
machine which exceeds the limit.

PUTS BAN
ON TRUSTS PRODUCT

New York. July 2i.-That the trust
idea is abhorrent to the federal gov
eminent Is shown not only by prosecu-
tion under the Sherman antitrust law.
but also by the definite policy OF with
drawing government patronage from
combinations OF capital that have
been adJudged violators OF the law.
This step has just been taken against
the tobacco trust, OF the COM
panies that has been receiving consid-
cradle attention lately from the gov
eminent.
Through the Office of the commIssary
general at Washington the war depart
ment has issued an order that no con-
tract for h government shah be made
with the American Tobf o company,
the American Snuff the
American Cigar company, the Amert-
can Stogie company or the MacAn-
drews & Forbes Co.
The order states that by a decree or

Southern district OF New York on De-
cember Is. 1908, each OF these COM
panies was ~adjudged to constitute and
is In itself q combination In violation
OF the Sherman antitrust law, which

The loss OF the trust will be the gain

TANNERY IN RIOT

this morning at the works of the N. r.
Aliens Sons Tanning company, two
men were shot and several officials in
jured, some seriously. One thousand
men a zone on strike for an increase
in wages.
A third man was shot at IL O'Clock.
Acting Chief of Police Newhouse was
badly bruised, but it is not thought Sc
riously hurt. Governor Davidson has
placed the situation under the charge OF
General Otto Falk, of Milwaukee.
The riots started with the opening OF
the big plant. At the time a commit
tee Of strikers was in the general Off
ces OF the company, seeking a settle
ment of the difficulties, but the man.
agement at once called off all negotia-
tons and the committee was escorted
out of the office. While the officials
and deputies who had been in attend
ance at the meeting Immediately armed
themselves for protection, crowds OF
strikers were parading the streets,
many of them armed.
FIFTEEN hundred men have joined the
ranks of the strik ers, n Will many
of them are not making demands on
the company for increase in wages. all
are acting in unison.
A demand has been made on Gov
ernor Davidson for troops to protect
the property. The call was made by
Sheriff Generx, who informed the gov
ernor that in his opinion, 1t was inn
possible for the local officials to pro-
tect the property and the people en-
ployed at the tannery.
First Outbreak.
The first outbreak occurred at the
big central entrance on Grand avenue
where one of the strik ers was shot. The
bullet passed through his nip. A min
ute later a riot was started at north
Chicago N Union streets, and this
resulted in another man being shot. It
is claimed this man was shot by one
Of the strikers who believed he was
firing on a deputy. One man was
struck down with a coupling pin and
held on a charge of rioting. The police
were able to do little with the strik-
ers, but used their clubs freely.
During the fighting Policeman Nell
son. of their city force, and Deputy
Moorehouse, OF the sheriff's force, was
struck down and both are in the hos
pital, seriously injured.
The company has declared IL will
hold no further parley and every de-
partment OF the big plant has been
closed.
People of the city have refused TO be
sworn In as special officers, fearing
their lives would be in danger. The sale
Of revolvers and other weapon has
been ordered stopped and 1t is expected
that the strike leaders will be under
arrest between now and evening.
Thus far, the property Of the COM
pany has not been badly damaged. but
windows of the buildings were shat
tered.

Washington, July 21.-Co-operation
between railways AND waterways
seems absolutely necessary to insure q
reasonable and efficient use OF the In
land water courses OF this country.
This conclusion Is reached In the re-
port OF Herbert Knox Smith, commits
sioner of corporations, In part two OF
his discussion OF the subject Of Trans
p~ortation by Water which his bureaus
has been investigating for many
months. The second part OF the re-
port was transmitted to President Taft
today. 1t deals with traffic by water.
and portions OF IL are particularly sug-
gestive and significant.
II is pointed out by Commissioners
smith that 1T Is a public evil that
the entire transportation system OF tho
United States should be, as now, at
odds with itself through destructive
competition. while h transportation
needs of the public suffer-"
Traffic In ITSELF" the report con-
tinues, lis a necessity for the proper
development of a waterway. State and
federal work must be supplemented by
private initiative, especially In termi-
mails and equipment, and private initi-
alive will come In only when there In
reasonable chance of enough traffic to
make II profitable. One of the great
questions, therefore, Is the question OF
how to secure for the inland rivers and
canals a reasonable share OF the coun-
try's traffic"
River Traffic Decrease.
An enormous increase has been
shown in the rail traffic. There also
has been an increase In the coast wise
traffic. On the other hand, the river
and canal traffic shows O marked de-
crease. Discussing this situation, Com
missioner Smith, In his report, says:
1.-THE New York canals and the Mis-
sissippt river system illustrate this. Up
to 1856 the traffic on the New York
canals was more than twice that of tho
railroads crossing New York state.
IT is now less than 3 per cent OF tina
total. Tho situation on the Mississippi
Is illustrated In the traffic history OF
St. Louis. River shipments there I'm
1880 were over SOC. 900 tons. I'm 1906,
$4,000 tons. Rail shipments, on the
other hand, increased from 5000, 900
tons I'm 1890 to IT, 600, 900 tons In 1905.
THE coal traffic down stream from
the vicinity OF Pittsburg, over Sc per
cent Of the entire vessel traffic on the
Mississippi system, Is the one striking
exception to the general decline on that
system. Its success is due to the great
deposits of Goa practically on the
banks, and a corresponding demand for
it along the river"

MANY LIVES MAY HAVE
BEEN LOST ALONG THE COAST

New Orleans, La, July 24.-The
full toll of life and properly exacted
by the hurricane which swept the west
-ern gulf coast yesterday may be several
days In h counting. Lseveling tele-
graph : wires and destroying other
side world, the hurricane swept along
the gulf shore from points in Cameron
Rarish, La, to almost the southwestern
extremity of Texas.
That loss of life and property damage
nave been caused at other points along
the Texas coast and possibly in Cam
eron Parish, La, is the belief now en-
tertained. In Matagorda county, about
10 miles southwest of Galveston, ii is
reported that several lives had been
lost, but at an early hour today a con
firmation of the report was lacking.
The southernmost points OF Cameron
Parish, La, were cut off from n out
side world before oon yesterday.
There are no railroad connections with
points there.
Reports received by the weather
bureau here indicate that the storm
passed inland from a point close to
Matagorda bay. Its intensity was di-
unfinished soon after IL o'clock yester-
day, n at an early our last night
the wind velocity was recorded at less
thar 80 miles an hour. Interior
towns in Texas were thus little affected
by the wind, which had veered from
northeast to southeast
The uneasiness which was entertain-
