larceny of $11l100 worth of stock of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. To
this Indictment he pleaded guilty. The
second Indictment charged the theft
of $4,000 in stock of the Southern

No Hurry in the Matter.
Mr. Moss, however, said there was
no hurry in the matter, and that he
wanted to make further investiga-
ton. The matter. he said, was still
under investigation by the grand jury,
but this did not mean it was the in
tention of that body to bring addi
tional indictments. He said that a
statement had been procured from Wi
der, but that many Of his assertions
did not coincide with the books Of the
banks and brokerage houses which the
district attorney had looked over.

he needs is a. complete rest. He will

to the City hall, where their commit
tee offered resolutions of congratula-

The president worked hard at the
cornerstone. The big block of granite
measured three by four feet, and not
an ounce of mortar had been spread on
the foundation when the president took
up the silver trOwel. He worked in
silence for nearly five minutes and
then, with a somewhat REDEEMED face,
he looked up and laughingly inquired:
Where's the mason? Who's my
boss >"
Everyone laughed and the mason
stepped forward. He gave some direc-
tons. but he did not offer to relieve
the chief ma agistrate Of the trowel. and
Mr.. Taft resimed his job. When he
had applied the last of the cement the
mason smoothed off the edges and the
stone was lowered to it's place. To
make his service thorough the presi-
dent seized hold of the granite block
and helped swing it onto the foUnda-

cURTISS IN BIPLANE,
OVATION At FINISH
Course from Euclid Beach to Cedar
Point-Averaeed As Miles Per Hour
Return Trip This Morning.

Cleveland, O.. Aug. S1-Glenn H.
established new record for over
water flying by travelling over Lake
Erie from Euclid Beach, nine miles
east of this city, to Cedar Point, o..
approximately sixty miles distant. The
announced time consumed in the pas
sage was one hour and eighteen min
utes. The aviator's own estimate of
the time was one hour and nineteen
minutes. His average time was forty
i've miles an hour, though one stretch
eof twenty miles was covered at a rate

Same Machine for Albany New York
Flight.
Curtiss used the eight cylinder fifty
horse power biplane of his own con-
struction in which he made his recent
fig MT down the Hudson river from AL
bany to New York.
Twelve Mile Breeze Was Favorable.
It was shortly after IL o'clock when
the biplane was taken from the aero
drome. At LOB p. m.,, after it had been
aScertained that the twelve mile breeze
from the northeast prevailed in Cleve-
land and Cedar Point alike, the motor
was started. At 1.oS p. M. with the
cheers of forty thousand people who
had gathered at the starting point
ringing in his ears, the aviator swept
out over the lake
At Height of Two Hundred Feet.
After reaching a height of two hun
dred feet the machine turned to the
west. AT LIB p. M it had passed
Cleveland harbor, where one hundred
thousand people had grouped them
selves along the lake front, and on top
of buildings, and three minutes later
had faded into the mist beyond Rocky
river the western extremity of the
city's eighteen miles waterfront.
Twenty Miles in Twenty Minutes.
At 1926, just twenty minutes after
leaving Euclid Beach. the biplane was
sighted off Dover bay twenty miles
distant. At 1.46 it passed Lorain, at
1.58 crossed directly over Nermillion
and at 2.1S was sighted at Cedar Point
Five minutes later it gIided on to the
beach in front of The Breakers hotel.
Ten Thousand Greet His Arrival.
A crowd of ten thousand people gath

ried him on their shoulders to his
hotel
Curtiss Immediately telephoned his
wife OF his arrival. After dining he
announced that because of the breeze
which had risen and rain which had
begun to fall he would postpone his
return trip until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Air Currents Cut Down Speed
Had the aviator been able to main
tain the speed at which he set out,
he probably would have broken all
speed records. West of Dover bay,
however, he encountered air currents
that materially impeded progress

third money, $1,S26. The time for the

second slower than the track record
Runaway Before Race.
The most remarkable incident of the
race was the brilliant performance of
Love Not. On the way to the post she
became unmanagea and ran for half
a mile at full speed. Her jockey. Reid,
finally pulled her up but it took twelve
minutes to bring her back to the post.
When the start came she rushed into
the lead with a tremendous burst of
speed and led to the final furlong pole.
There her earlier effort told and she
stopped badly but many believed that
only her unfortunate runaway lost her
the race.
