Dissension Among Contestants.
II had been reported from Fort Dodge
that there was dissension among the Gid
den tourists and that this trip would be
the last conducted by the American Auto
mobile association.
When, at the Grand hotel, Mr.. Glidden
was asked about the matter, he said there
was no truth In the report. Mr., Hover
also said there was nothing in it. Secre-
tary Z. l.. Ferguson Of the contest board
was inclined to believe that the tour
would not be held next year. He even
said he had about decided to return east
today without seeing the present contest
finished.
Il am disguised with the wrangllng we
have had on the present trip and with
the way things have BEEN he said to
the press representatives at the train last
evening. l do not know whether l shah
quit the tour tomorrow or not, but l do
know this much, If there is not some
change, 1 will start east within twenty
four hours
Mr.. Ferguson would not state the nature
of the trouble among the officials of the
tour. He would only reiterate his previous
statement that the tour was not conducted
i'm a proper manner.
GIIdde Denies Trouble.
Mr.. Glidden was asked about the trouble
and he said in reply:
Il have heard a few rumors about aban-
doning the trip next year, but 1 will say
right now that there Is no truth in the
report. The dissension among these tour
lists now is not very important, and we
will hear nothing Of 1t by the time the
journey is completed.
Instead of planning on giving up the
Glidden tours, we are figuring on making
the one in 1910 the best of all. This tour
is the fifth, and the sixth shall be from
coast TO coast.
The present tour has demonstrated thai
a light car can run over fairly good roads
in pretty fast time. What we have beer
trying to prove is that a light car can
go twenty miles al hour for a great dis.

DAMAGES FOR LOST MAIL
Novel Case Involves Liability of Rail-
roads for Packages Lost in
Wreck.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-A novel case
involving the right of the government to
recover from transportation companies the
value OF the contents of registered pack
ages lost or destroyed in transit was argued
here today in federal court. The suit was
filed against the Atlantic Coast line and
involves SO, 900. In addition the government
seeks to recover 500 damages for loss OF
mail equipment, alleging negligence and
lack of proper protection for the mail.
The suit grew out of a wreck on the
Atlantic Goa line at Lucama, N. c., in
1904, when a mail car was demolished and
the registered mail. including a package OF
diamonds from Paris, was lost.
Dismissal OF the case was sought by the
railroad company on the plea that a rail.
road is not liable for mail in transit and
that the government is not even liable and
sustains no loss.

AEROPLANE FLIES SWIFTLY
Wright Machine Closely Approaches
Worlds Speed Record.
TWO SHORT FLIGHTS ARE MADE
Distinguished Crowd Of Spectators
Present-ExtraordinRry speed IL
shown on the second
Ascent.

WASHINGTON, July 21-In two short
flights in the Wright aeroplane this even
ing at Fort Myer, Va, Orville Wright
closely approached the worlds aeroplane
record, attaining an average velocity Of
fifty-four and a half miles an hour, as
computed by Wilbur Wright, who held the
stop watch on the machine for half a dozen
rounds of the course.
on the first flight the air craft remained
aloft only one minute and thirty-nine Sec
onds, the aviator being forced to descend
by losing a cog wheel on the magnet after
making his second round of the course.
on his second flight, after the cog wheel
had been replaced, the Reroplane swiftly
circled a dozen times around the course,
which is five-sixths of a mile in circum-
ference. Certain changes in the gearing
of the motor and propellers, which were
intended to give the machine a higher
speed, had been effected earlier in the day.
Many Distinguished Spectators.
Secretary of War and Mrs. Dickinson,
Secretary of State Knox, the French am
bassador and Madame Jusserand, former
Secretary of State Bacon, Major General
Young, Surgeon General Torney of the
army, Senators Newlands, Dolliver and
Elkins; Brigadler General Witherspoon
acting chief of staff Of the army; Repre-
sentative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
General J. w. Kieffer, and a number of
other notable persons witnessed the flights.
Weather conditions were good for to-
days tests, a very little breeze was blow
ing.
The aeroplane on its first flight today
was fifty feet from the ground when the
cog wheel on the magnetic dropped off.
Mr.. Wright Immediately shut off the power
and descended easily to the ground. After
half an hours work the cog wheel was
back in place and the flyer was sent away
on It's second trial. 1t mounted gracefully
to a height of about $50 feet and there
started on a speed test.
Makes Extraordinary Speed.
AS it swept past the starting point on
the second round 1t was seen the aero
plane was making extraordinary speed.
On the rounds from the sixth to the
ninth, inclusive, each round was made in
less than a minute. After being up ten
minutes Orville Wright brought the aero
plane down and made a graceful landing.
In speaking of the change in the motor
gearing which caused the increase of
speed, Wilbur Wright said the sprocket
wheels of different sizes had been placed
on the motor and propeller shafts. The
speed of the motor had been increased
from approximately 1900 revolutions to
400. This change, they had calculated,
would increase the speed to about forty
-four miles an hour, the previous speed
having been about forty miles. The
change, however, worked more successfully
than the brothers had calculated.

was booked to sail for New York shortly

A heavy dredge, torn from it's moorings,
had been blown against the single bridge
which connects Galveston island with he
mainland, however, and the telegraph ca
bles had been parted.
wild RumOrs Circulated.
As a result all manner Of rumors were
soon rife throughout the country to the
effect that Galveston had again suffered
such a storm as that which practically de-
stroyed the city nine years ago. AS soon
as communication could be established
these reports were denied and the true
story told.
A crew was put to work repairing the
damage to the bridge and laying new
cables.
1t is impossible tonight TO place anything
like an accurate estimate on the damage
which was done. Few buildings were
blown down, but It is believed that many
warehouses were flooded and goods on the
bottom floors of these buildings were
ruined. Consequently 1t will require several
days to ascertain what was damaged and
to what extent.
The storm covered a wide area along the
gulf coast, some slight damage being re-
ported as far south as Matagorde bay and
as far east as the parish Of Cameron In
Louisiana.
One fishing pier, seven miles from the
city, was demolished by the wind and
waves. Thirty or forty people who were
enjoying the day there were rescued by
the pilot boat Texas and brought to Gal
weston.
AS a result of the damage to the single
bridge which connects Galveston with the
main land and over which all the trains
entering or leaving the city are forced to
cross, communication by rail with Galveston
has been cut off. Tugboats are carrying
passengers, mail and freight across the
bay to Galveston tonight.
