CONGRESSMAN SAW FLIGHT
OF THE WRIGHT AEROPLANE
Representative Thomas Declares That After
Witnessing Air Voyage lie Felt Like
Taking Passage

When Orville and Wilbur Wright
few their aeroplane at the official test
held at Fort Myer, Va, few weeks
ago and won the governments prize,
many of the visiting Congrssmen were
present. Representative Aubrey Thomas
Of Ohio, of the naval affairs commit
tee, was one of those who watched
with breathless interest the wonder
full bird like movements of the air
clipper. Mr.. Thomas says that the
flight was made from the parade
ground, which was kept clear of course.
The parade is not larger than that at
Schofeld Barracks, and the aeroplane
is not as long as the Commercial Club
dining hall.
After the engines had been looked
over, the aeroplanist and his military
passenger seated themselves in the ma
chine and, when the order was given
to start, the machine slid down the
skids and Immediately began rising,
skimming the parade but gradually
going upward. The flight was easy
and as graceful as that of a bird on

LOUISIANA MAN
IS ENTHUSIASTIC
Representative Watkins Saws
Cane Car Shifter Is New
to Him.

"We haven't anything like that
cane unloader in Louisiana, and I am
going to see that it is introduced as
one of the best labor saving devices
l have seen in a sugar mill"
Representative Watkins, of Louisi-
ana. Was enthusiastic over the patent
automatic cane-unloading device in use
at Waipahu sugar mill when he and
the Congressional party visited the
estate late Friday afternoon on the
return trip from Haleiwa. The device
in question is one familiar to people
here, and now considered an ordinary
machine. The cane is brought to the
endless belt which carries it up into
the rollers. Hooks operated on long
swing arm pull the cane off the ear,
which is tilted to allow an easy fall
into the belt. The car is then pushed
ahead to a platform detached from
the main car rails. This detached plat
form then rises with the ear until the
two short rails on which the car rests
roll over to a parallel track. whence
the car is shunted down the line and
out of the way
This method of removing unloaded
ears appealed to Mr.. Watkins as one
which ought TO be introduced into ev.
cry sugar mill in the South.

the aeroplane circled and then few off
toward Alexandria The machine sud
denly dipped just over a hill and then
there was an anxious suspense, for the
spectators did not know whether or
not the machine had met with an ae-
cident, but later on the machine was
seen soaring in the distance. On the
return the same dip was made. The
spectators afterward learned that the
aeroplanist had decided to maintain a
uniform distance above ground, and
when the Typographical depression was
reached the planes were depressed.
When the machine returned to the
parade, the audience was thoroughly
aroused and became wildly enthusiastic.
The machine came down as lightly as
feather and alighted on the spot
from which it first arose.
"When one witnesses such a flight
and sees how thoroughly the machine

gressmen are to spend in the Islands,
the Kauai trip has necessarily to be

crops, the results of irrigation develop
ment, the electric pumping plants, and

nai reception committee will meet and
: escort those by auto who desire to see
the windward side of the island to
Hanalei, where the steamer will be
met. At Hanalei the party will break
fast aboard the steamer, proceeding on
board to Waimea. The party will land
and lunch at Gay s. From Waimea to
Lihue the party will go by autos and

SACRED HEARTS
/. CONVENT BLESSED
New Kaimuki Building Is Form
ally Opened to the
Public.

With the impressive ceremonial pre-
scribed in the ritual OK .he Roman
Catholic church, the Right Reverend
Bishop Libert yesterday afternoon
blessed the new convent of the Sacred
Hearts IN kaimuki. The formal open
ing of the new building also took place
at the same time.
The occasion was happy one for the
Sisters of the Sacred Hearts, for 1t
marked the realization of the most am
bilious project which they have under
taken since they arrived in Hawaii,
more than half a century ago. Though
the convent school has grown, from a
small beginning, to an educational in
stitution of vast Importance, this Is the
first time that the school has been
moved from the site where the Sisters
first took up their teaching work when
thew landed in the Islands.
The convent represents an outlay OF
more than $4,000. Of this money,
$4,000 was donated by the late Au-
gust Dreier. 1t was this donation
which enabled the Sisters to realize
their ambition and erect a building
suitable to house the fine school which
they have built up.
Only the boarding department of the
convent school will be Slocated in the
Kaimuki building. The day school will
be maintained in the old convent build
ing on Fort street, where it has been
housed for so many years.

RACERS FACE To
FACE WITH DEATH
Five Mile Motorcycle Contest
All but Ends in
Tragedy.

Whizzing round the fve-lap-to-the-
mile fat track at tremendous speed,
Will Eldid and Bill Chiffon, ON high
powered motorcycles, raced one of the
most spectacular and dangerous races
ever seen here, at the Athletic Park
last night.
On the last lap of the sixteenth mile,
Chiffon s spark gave out His machine
Immediately slowed, and Eldid, who
was overtaking him, crashed into the
machine in front so that only miracle
saved both men from being killed.
This happened over by the third base
turn. Immediately the resounding toot
of the explosions of the four cylinders
stopped, the huge crowd present surged
over from the granastand and bleach
ers and surrounded the two machines
The police soon bore the crowd back
and then it was found that Chiffon was
sitting calmly in his saddle, one foot
on the ground to hold his machine up
while the rear wheel was bent almost
double and the steering bars were
turned at right angles to their proper
position.
The race itself was spectacular in
the extreme. Although the argument
which started the race only came VI
on Saturday afternoon and there wa:
only small notice in the morning
paper about the race, the Athletic Parh
was crowded to the limit.
In the stanchion sockets that mark
the track, torches had been set up tt
mark the limits of the circuit and the
moving picture machine was turned OF
like a searchlight, sending a broae
beam of bright light across the dia
! mond, while the rest of the track wa:
in darkness, save for the glowworn
twinkle of the torches round the track
A Tremendous Speed.
The race was supposed to be ovel
a distance of five miles. The two con
track and it was agreed that, if neither
racer caught up on the other one before
: the five miles was completed, it wa:
to be called a draw.
The gun fired and they started of
at speed that seemed simply incred
: ulous, considering the narrowness OF
the turns and the unbanked condition
of the track. Mile after mile was
reeled off in lilo and lip, but neither
rider seemed able to make any advance
on the other.
When the last lap of the fifth mile
was completed, Eldid had gained a few
yards on Chiffon but was still far from
catching him. The bell was rung con
/ tinuousiy to notify them that the racs
| was over, but there was no such wore
as "Stop" in their lexicons. They
| kept on going and it seemed as though
they would go on for ever
Eldid began to gain noticeably abou
the ninth mile and the crowd yelled it
self horse when, at the home plate
turn, Eldid was within ten feet of hi!
opponent. But Chiffon merely gave hi.

CHAs. LEVERS BROUGHT
ICE AROUND HORN

The death of Mrs. Mary Levers at
Kansas City recently, recalls the bust
ness enterprises of her husband, Charles
H. Levers, one of the founders of Lew
ers & Cooke. He was one of the enter
prising ones who imported ice from
New York, having it shipped to Homo
lulu in sailing vessels, around Cape
Horn. The ice was sold here at good
rate, but it cost the importer ten cents
per pound laid down here as there was
a good deal of waste.

supplied wagons and other means or
transportation which followed Terry g
command. When news reached the de-
tachment of the massacre on the Lit
tie Big Horn the men pushed on to
the scene.
Not living soul was on that field,
only the stark, already decomposing
bodies of Custer and his men. The
uniforms had been stripped from the
dead leaving only an undershirt and
drawers on each one. Sabers, earbines,
hats. boots and all the equipment of
the cavalrymen had been carried away
by the savages. Every man but Custer
had been scalped. Mr.. Calfee says it
was a terrible sight. The bodies were
buried on the spot, as there was no
means of carrying them to any post.

NOT TO ENTICE PANAMA LABORERS PRESIDENT TAFT MAKES STATE. MENT ABOUT BUILDING IN
 SOUTH AMERICA.
Railroads Are to Gather Their Own Workmen and Not Bother Those
 Imported by Uncle Sam.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Prompt ac. tisn will be taken by President Taft to prevent contractors engaged in building railroads in South America from the enticing of laborers away from Panama. Last month the con tractors succeeded in inducing about thousanfp laborers to leave the canal zone to embark in their own enter prises.
 The president will shortly issue an executive order making the entice- ment pf these laborers a misdemean- or. After being involved In the reg ular expense by gathering these men from the West Indies for work on the canal, the government does not pro pose to have the men enticed away by promises.
 The demand for labor in South America, for railroads, has been so great it Is feared that unless effect i've measures are taken, the govern ment's force at Panama will soon be a mere recruiting station for con tractors.

Many Think That Premier Asquith Will Ask the King to Create a

London. Nov. 1T.-Walter Runy- man, president of the board of edu- cation, speaking at Hull tonight made the important announcement in be- half of the government that it would refuse to entertain any negotiations or compromise with the peers over the budget.
 Beyond this announcement all is conjecture regarding the development of the political situation. Some prom nent liberals are still of the opinion that Premier Asquith will resign on the rejection of the budget.
 Others believe that he will ask the king to create large body of liberal peers, recalling that thNIrish church dis-establishment was allowed the lords on Gladstone's threat to S'eate rev peers.
 MT Balfour's speech at Manchester satisfied his followers, inasmuch as it adopts tariff reform as the party cry, but it cannot be regarded as an election manifesto, since it fails to define what he understands by tariff reform. MT. Balfour said on this sub ject that he would not touch tariff re- form If it were to increase the or dinary cost of living of the working classes.
