RESULTS ARE SATISFACTORY
Aviation Week at Rheims ReveIa-
tion to the World.

Paris, Aug. 30.-Minister of Public
Works Millerand has returned to
Paris after an exhaustive study of
the aeroplane work now being con-
Quoted at Rheims. He expressed the
opinion that the world was face to
face with revolution In the matter
of transportation and communication.
The results obtained at Rheims, the
minister said, demonstrated the pos
session of various factors, which,
brought together and elaborated, were
bound to make aviation a success.
Flying in the air will soon rival
railroads and automobiles. M. Mile
rand continued. and France could well
be proud of the achievements at Beth
eny. which were proof of the re-
sources and vitality of the nation. 1t
was the duty of the government to aid
aviation and the minister said he in
tended personally to neglect nothing
that might be of assistance to Frances
valiant flyers.

VISITED BY JACOB SCHIFF
Flying Trip of New York Banker to
Arden interpreted to Mean That
Railroad Wizard Is Able to Attend
to Business or Else Wishes to Clean
Up important Matters as Soon as
Possible.

Arden, N. Y, Aug 30-Either Ed
ward Fl. Hartman is not too i'll to
discuss business or wishes to clean up
certain important financial matters as
soon as possible
These are the two divergent views
Of flying visit made to the financier
In his mountain fastness by Jacob III.
Schiff. the New York banker.
The Importance attached to Mr..
Schiffs visit was shown by the fact
that a through express train was
stopped at the Arden station to per.
NIT the banker to alight. Mr. Schiff,
who remained only short time in
the house, declined to discuss the
purpose of his visit or to comment in
any way upon Mr.. Hartman and his
interests
The circle about Mr.. Hartman has
been drawn closer than ever. VIII.
lam Mcclellan, the superintendent OF
postoffice and general store and gave
orders that no newspaper men OF
strangers should be allowed to use
the telephone. This order, 1t was
found, applied to the whole line. The
telephones in Arden and Turner are
all on this line, which is a private
one under Mr.. McClellan's supervision
The reason given was that outside
calls were keeping the line so busy
that 1t was difficult for subscribers tc
get proper service.
Repeated denials by members Of
the household and the absence of fur
ther confirmation strengthened the
belief that there was at least no i'm
mediate intention of operating on tbs

HARTMAN STOCKS
AGAIN HARD HIT
Rumors Regarding FinanCler's
Health the Cause.

New York, Aug. 30.--The conflicting
rumors concerning the health of Mr..
Hartman found their reflection In a
very irregular opening of the stock
market The Hartman stocks were
the most conspicuous feature. with a
loss of 2A points In Union Pacific and
/ In Southern Pacific. Losses In other
active issues ran from / to 11a points.
Soon after he opening Union Pacific
made further fractional decline,
placing it below the low figure of last
Thursday. There was some pressure
upon United States Steel common, but
market movements as whole were
rather confusing. Some disposition
was manifest to shake off the infiu-
ence of Mr.. Harriman's health and to
consider rather the condition of his
properties.
Soon after the first hour a fresh
selling movement appeared in the
Hartman stocks, which sent Union
Pacific down to 194A, decline of five
points, and Southern Pacific down to
125, loss of 2A Reading was off 2
points and New York Central and
Northern Pacific as much or more.
The general list sold off in sympathy
and the selling movement was strong.
ly suggestive of wholesale liquidation
The downward course of the stock
market was arrested In the second
hour, when semi-offlcial statements
were issued denying the reports that
Mr.. Hartman was to undergo a sur.
gical operation.
The dying out of the early scare was
reflected in a constantly broadening
and strengthening market, which
reached its climax at the close. I'm
ion Pacific was bid for eagerly and
the scramble for the stock sent 1t VI
over three points from the lowest, tc
1878, where 1t ended Full recover
les were scored by some other stocks
particularly Reading and United
States Steel, the last named being
heavily absorbed around 751s.

Wants
Another Try
At That Cup

New York, June Infringing Sir
Thomas Lipton's announcement that
he would like to try again for the
Americas yacht cup. John w. Dekay,
president of a packing company in
Mexico, came ashore from the Cunard
steamship Lusitania. Mr.. Dekay said
that Sir Thomas believed in the luck
of a four-leaved shamrock and. read a
statement which he said was lntrusted
to him by the racing baronet. This is
the statement:
81 do not understand Americans
making a rule which every yacht CLUB
in America adherres to, and yet their
not being willing to accept a chal-
lenge from me under their rules. l do
not know why they want me TO chal-
lenge under rule which existed 90
years ago and which they set aside
four years ago. l have no advantage
Whatever over the Americans. A boat
has never yet been built in Europe I'M
der the universal rule and If there IS
any pull in the matter anywhere 1t is
with the Americans, as they have al
ready built many boats under the uni
versal rule which have proved great
successes.
LAS far as I can judge, it means that
the cup is locked up in America to
stay, and that would seem to put stop
on what the cup was intended for,
namely, sport"
| According to Mr.. Dekay, Sir Thorn
as said that, whether he lifted the cup
or not, if he brought over Shamrock
| " he would give Americans lots OF
sport Mr. Dekay quoted Sir Thomas
as saying that there are no better
sports in the world than Americans,
and that he is quite willing to chal-
lenge with a 90 footer or any other
boat the New York Yacht Club
chooses.
