DIPLOMAT OF THE VATICAN

No man perhaps occupies more prominent
place in the international limelight today than
the cardinal secretary of state Of the Holy See
his eminence Rafael Merry del Val, whose
diplomatic dispute with Spain has engaged
worldwide interest.
The cardinal is Londoner by birth and the
blood of Celt Briton and Spaniard flows through
his veins. His father, who was secretary of the
Spanish embassy In London when the cardinal
was born, is descended from an Irish family
which emigrated to Spain at the end of the
18th century, while his grandmother on the
mothers side was a Miss Wilcox, daughter Of
a former member of the British Parliament,

1t was an interesting coincidence that
Hamilton won his honors with the same BIZ
plane that won the International speed
trophy for Glenn H. Curtiss at Rheims last
year, and that he was driven by the same
propeller. at least until the unlucky de-
scent, with which Curtiss recently made

Wanted a Cigarette First.

The first thing Hamilton wanted was
a cigarette, but he had to entertain
three hundred policemen first and try
to keep them from crowding his ma
chine. He was trembling from cold and
from natural feeling Of relaxation. He
wanted to be alone, to walk by shady
brookside and brood, if only for a min
ute. A short brood and a long cigarette,
that was all. He looked tired. The day
was fiercely devoid of invigorating airs.
Beads of perspiration were on the faces
of those who surrounded him. The trees
did not rustic. Every one save Hamil-
ton was suffering from the heavy damp
ness in the atmosphere
Meanwhile Governor Stuart and Mayor
Reyburn were trying to reach the hero
imprisoned by the policemen, and G..

HOW THE FLIGHT WAS ENDED
Hamilton Flew High, So That He Could Glide to Finish
if Propeller Broke

Then we lifted the machine bodily out
of that swamp and put 1t on the firm
ground of the roadway nearby. Even then
I had an awful time getting the crowd
which had gathered to stand back far
enough to give me a little runway, and by
the time all the difficulties had been over
come It was $50 p. m
Hamilton WAS asked about the avera se
height of his flight. and put IL at about five
hundred feet
In explaining how it had been consider
ably higher than that, however, from South
Amboy to Governors Island, on the last
lap of the trip, he said:
From South Amboy in 1 was a little
afraid the propeller might give out. We
had just put it on, you see, and / didn {
have time 10 test II thoroughly before |
started. So flew along
"A little lower. eh:" gueried a sympa-
thetc listener.
Hamilton turned with palpable surprise.
Why, no. he said: II new higher, went
up to about fifteen hundred feet there, be-
cause, don't you see. If the propeller went
wrong any time I'd have chance then to
glide on to the finish, Il it wasn't too far
altogether
Apparently Ii never occurred to Hamilton
that with the propeller broken most avia-
tors seek the ground. and when there is a
chance that it is broken they stay pretty
near the ground. Instead Of that he had
the object of being as high as possible
when 1t broke, SO that he might still be able
to have chance to finish what he had UNI
dertaken.
over Newark and Trenton I few high,
too Hamilton said; "up something like a
thousand feet, / guess, but the rest of the
time averaged around five hundred"
do you think aviators will be saying
they're going over to Philadelphia right
along now?" he was asked.
"Oh, they may say they're goins over"
said Hamilton. with laugh, emphasizing
the Say
Great Crowd to Greet Him.
Something more than five thousand per-
sons greeted Hamiltons return when his

I'm glad | made the home goal said
Hamilton. when he stepped out of the ma
chine on Governors Island last night, and
then, Il must have a smoke"
In pocket of the big leather coat he
had a box Of cigarettes, and within
minute of the time he landed one of them
was hanging comfortably from his lips.
Then he turned, with smile, to the eager
crowd that wanted to greet him, and after
shaking hands with a few of them( spied
his wife and mother coming toward him.
Both of them kissed him, and he gripped
the hands of Benjamin Beaudett, his step
father, and then, though tired, told briefly
of the days experience.
81 had smooth sailing the way over"
said Hamilton: mo trouble at all, after the
one propeller accident before I left the
ground here this morning, and on the way
back everything was just as smooth until
struck Metuchen. Then l became con-
fused, and l guess I followed the Lehigh
Valley tracks instead of the Pennsylvania
South Amboy, and just about then-it was
six minutes to 1 o'clock-I began to notice
the engine
1T was missing explosions on two cylin-
ders. and the power of the drive died down
considerably. So I looked down for q
place to land, and that was the first time
during the trip, 1 believe, that ] noticed
the country through which I was passing
at all. | saw what l thought was a hard
green field and dropped into It. and found
that it was in reality a soft, swampy field
covered with long green grass.
There was nothing wrong with the pro-
peller then, only the engine was missing on
two cylinders. and what they needed was
merely cleaning. But once I got in that
swamp it was hard matter to get out
The wheels under the plane sank into the
soft ground and the propeller blade was
broken off when the end OF it struck a big
rut.
Then I had to wait until new propeller
was brought down TO me from New York
and luckily Pete Young brought two of
them, because the first one we put on was
broken also.

She Just Wanted to Cry.

Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it a dear?

Its all of that, too" said the girl.
AS the aviator came steadily onward
even the policemen of Philadelphia, with
all their natural capacity. could not
smother the great rushes of happiness
that showed in the faces of the fas-
cinated, scurrying throng and swellea
in tremendous volume through the drip
ping atmosphere in the direction Of the
fragile, famous flyer.
One old woman, who had walked
through the mud for more than a mile,
kept repeating: 81 can't see him. Some
body show him to me, please
Each instant was adding strength to
the outlines of the aeroplane, and sud
denly the woman shouted, her cheeks
flushed and eyes dancing:

His landing place was between a ceme-
terry and the Municipal Hospital, I'M

coming as steadily as the train and
reaching his destination three minutes
sooner. His character of sportsman was
demonstrated again. Instead of drop
ping TO the ground at once, thus full
filling the requirements Of his contract,
the generous fellow, evidently realizing
that all those thousands of persons had
made sacrifices to see him, circled the
field four times free OF charge, but
adding to his fame each second. Then
he swOoped in the way he has made so
well known elsewhere and alighted
beautifully. Sighted at 9:21, he landed

last night Several thousands were massed
around the Battery sea wall and the nearby
Brooklyn piers. and close 10 one thousand
persons. civilians and soldiers. were on the
aviation field at Governors Island.
He grew rapidly in size on view anG
seemed to be making the straishtest kind
of bee line for the aeropIane shed on the
island from the moment when he came into
sight.
Above the south end Of the island he
shot along at about five hundred feet. then
turned at a sweeping angle Of about 40
degrees and, turning off power, glided 10
earth within a hundred yards of the shed.
When he crossed over to Manhattan an
other big crowd was waiting for him.
They cheered and rushed him good nat
uredly, and Patrolman Frank Roth, Of
the John street station, thought Hamilton
needed help.
The little fellow looked tired when he
finished and his face was streaked with
dirt and perspiration. Roth held the crowd
off as we'll as possible, and tried to find
an automobile, which some one had told
Hamilton was waiting for him. but finally,
when the policeman learned that no such
automobile was around, he got a machine
that was standing near, and the occupants
gladly made room for Hamilton. They
whisked him up to the Hotel Aston, where
his wife and mother awaited him.
Glenn II. Curtss. who flew down the
Hudson from Albany a couple of weeks
ago. met Hamilton on his return and was
lavish in his praise OF the plucky aviator.
He's done something that no one else
would do said Curtiss. Many wouldn't
want to try, and others wouldn't succeed.
It was daring fight. and a most salts
factory one. And I tell you that flight
like that is great deal more daring than
any of these European 'cross-country
flights, because they have been mostly over
nice, smooth country-farm country. None
of this crossing big cities in their cross
country flights there. Hamilton is the best
flyer in the world, think, and he deserves
all the credit that can be given to him
Curtiss still holds the official record for
speed. but Hamilton took all American
records for 'cross-countFy distance and
duration yesterday, and. using his own fig
ures for the return journey, his average
speed established new figure.

on a limousine car weighing 5000
pounds 1t was recognized and admitted
by the owner and chauffeur that at
least ninety pounds pressure was re-
Quired. and it was asserted that such
was the pressure maintained. as the
chauffeur stated he had been initiating
tires for more than ten years and be-
lievcd his judgment could be relied on
without the necessity for the use of a
gauge. The tires were tested in his
presence. and forty-f1ve pounds and
forty pounds pressure respectively
were indicated by the gauge. The ne
cessity for gauges to determine the
proper imitation was Immediately and
frankly admitted
Tires are made of q number of law
ers Of canvas over a spherical mold,
the layers bound together with an
anti-friction compound. Therefore If
they are only partially inflated they are
hattened out by the weight Of the car.
When small stones are struck a
brief and sharp depression is made
in the tire, which causes a break in the
fnnermost layer of canvas, which will
soon chafe the adjoining layer. and
each layer will then go in turn until
the tire finally blows out. II the tire
were well inflated the same stone
could not make such a depression.
These are often the causes of what
the owner or chauffeur calls a defec-
tive tire and are the occasion Of Just
objection by manufacturers to a re-
placement. All reputable manufacture
ers are ready and willing to renIace
defective tires. and no trouble is found
in the adherence to the mileage guar
antee, but proper imitation is justly. and
Tor the reasons stated, desired and de-
mauded-
