Mr.. Miller and his family had just
started away from their home in

Spaight and South Few streets he
saw the Dahl machine. driven by

put on speed, but young Dahl did not
see him.

Two sons of Attorney John Moran
were rendered unconscious and the
little son of Lynn Clarke sustained
an ugly wound in the forehead. Had
not the machine collided' with a tele-

Mr.. Miller picked up his child in
an unconscious condition, but she
soon recovered. Mrs. Miller's gar
ments were torn, but she and her
husband escaped injury.
Mr.. Miller says his car was dam

AID OF CONGRESS NEEDED
Wording Viii Have to Be Changed
Before Secretary MacVeagh's
Suggesti>n Is Adopted.

Washing ton.--Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh's proposal TO re-
duce the size of paper money has pro-
crossed to a point where the prob
lem of working out a plan for a
uniform national bank note is Sc
rious one. A committee is soon to
make a report with some recommen-
dations.
II is said to be impracticable to re-
duee the size of the governments
currency without reducing national
bank notes to the same size. Ii that
be possible it is declared that 1000
national banks of the United States
could save 100000 a year in ad-
dition to the 100000 the govern
ment expects to save.
1t will require an act Of congress
to change the wording now upon ma
tional bank notes, as that is neces-
sary before the size can be reduced.

WINS GREAT AiRSHIP RACE
Moissant Defeats Compe' tors in
Flight Around The Statue
OF Liberty.

New York.--John B. Moissant,
an American, the same man who
flew from Paris to London, was the
victor in the most perilous and spec
tacular aeroplane race known to the
annals of aviation.
Dashing at more than mi'e-a-
minute speed from Belmont park to
the Statue of Liberty in New York
harbor and back again to Belmont
Park, distance of thirty-tf zee
miles, as the crow flies. bu. thirty
five miles, including the extra mile
age covered in the turns at both ends,
the daring brown-skinned little
American won over Count De Les
seps, the French aviator, and Claude
Grahame-White. the English cham
pion by margin of forty-five sec
ondS.
What makes Moissant's victory
one of the most extraordinary aerial
feats ever performed, is the fact that
he flew in a machine he had never
driven before and which he had pur-
chased only ten minutes before he
set out on his wonderful cross coun-
try journey.
And what is considered more re-
markaDle still by aviators is the fact
that the dauntless little al" sailor
steered over the eleven miles Of
Brooklyn's most populous section
with its miles of resio cnces, factor
les, tall buildings and church spires,
as well as narrow streets, solely by
the aid of compass. In doing this
he duplicated his feat Of flying from
Paris to London, which the French
champions declared could not be done
by compass.

Wright biplane, craft he had never

the international aviation meet at Bel
mont park to close with blaze OF
glory by breaking the worlds altitude
record with a flight to the height of o..
ia feet.
For his daring spectacular feat he
received prize of $1,000. If he had
been able to soar just 2S7 feet higher.
he would have won an additional prize
of 5000 offered on the condition that
the altitude record be over 10000 feet.
He was prevented from reaching this
height because his machine would not
climb any more on account OF lack of
fuel.
1t took tombstone about hour and
20 minutes to reach his highest point In
the sky. For an hour he was utterly
beyond the sight Of the naked eye. He
made his descent from the perilous
height Of almost two miles in the air in

Smartng under his defeat by John
Il. Moissant in the Statue of Liberty
flight at the international aviation meet,
Claude Graham White the English
aviator who won the international cup,
hurled this challenge at Mossant.
Moissant said he would accept the
challenge of Graham White. and would
put up real money The prospect
greatly excited the airship experts OF
the world gathered here,
MoiSsant, who won the $4,000 prize
for circling the Statue of Liberty in the
quickest time, declared he would race
across the Atlantic ocean in an aero
plane He insisted airships soon would
be built to travel 100 miles an hour.

for this belief: First of all, we are
getting more powerful engines every
day Last year we had twenty-five ami
thirty horse power. Our aeroplanes
Travelled about forty-tive miles an hour.

larger express companies that for
several days has been in progress az
the railroad terminals at the Jer-

The situation is in q veritable
state OF chaos with an outlook for
even worse conditions unless the per-

the railroad depots, can be moved.
The men ready to hire out as
strike breakers are very difiident
about applying for positions. Scenes
of violence were enacted all over the
city. wagons being stoned and driv-
erS beaten.
The express companies have made
tentative application to Gov. Fort
for the calling out of the militia to
guard their wagons and buildings,
but the Jersey City police authori-
ties are confident that they can handle
the situation. Although business was
at a standstill, the companies are
likely TO resume the running Of
wagons under police guard.
Four thousand men are involved
in New York, while the number in
Jersey brings the total to a higher
figure.
The men demand an advance of S.

cause of membership in the union,
the reinstatement of all strikers to
their former positions, and that all
