ing frauds to which the so-called trust

FLIES TO PHILADELPHIA

Charlie. K. Hamilton Covers SO
Miles from New York in
Less than Two Hours.
RACES FAST RAILWAY TRAIN.
Speed of Forty-six Miles an Hour
on the Westward Voyage Is
Made with Ease.

Charles K. Hamilton, the young avi-
ator who has achieved worldwide fame
In less than year, at Philadelphia
Monday made the most daring fight of
his career, travelling in his biplane
from Governors Island, N. Y, to a
point at the outskirts of Philadelphia,
a distance of eighty-six miles, in 113
minutes, unofficial time.
Hamilton flew over Tascony, q sub
urb. five and three-fifths miles from
the start, at 1889. At 33.46 he passed
over Cornwells, eleven and one-half
miles from the start. He crossed the
Delaware River and passed over Penn
sylvania Railroad station here at Tren-
ton, twenty-seven miles from the start,
at 1906 p. M, sailing over the tracks
about 400 feet. The atmosphere had
cleared and he was plainly visible to
the crowd below. The special train
passed through Trenton at 1911 p. M.
five minutes behind the aviator.
Hamilton passed a point a mile
west of Philadelphia, f1fty.one and one
half miles from the, start, at 1894.

ing together. To catch up with Ham
ilton the train is said to have been run
seventy-ive miles an hour between
Trenton and Monmouth junction. The
round-trip distance Is the longest city
to-city flight ever made by an aviato !,
exceeding the record flights Of Curtiss
and Paulhan. The speed Of the flight
was at an average OF 1919 q mile. or
about forty-six miles an hour.
A feature Of the wonderful achieve
ment was the ease with which the
aviator followed q train on the Penn
sylyania Railroad running at high
speed. According to his program. he
flew from Governors Island to South
Elizabeth, N. j., where the train was
awaiting his appearance. From that
point, town after town along the line
reported that the train had passed with
Hamilton flying directly over It. At
Princeton he went. near the old college
town, SO that students and graduates
gathered there for commencement week
might have a chance to see him.

BIG PRIZE FIGHT FORBIDDEN.
Jetfries and johnson Not to "scrap"
in San Francisco.

Governor James N. Gillett, of Cali.
fornia, has directed Attorney General
U. S. Webb to take whatever action
may be necessary to stop the fight be-
tweeTk James j. Jeffries and Jack John
son for the heavyweight championship.
Of the world, which is scheduled to be
fought in San Francisco July a.
The Governor was impelled to issue
this order by pressure from Washing
ton. San Francisco is attempting to
secure national legislation in favor of
the Panama-Pacific Exposition. 1t has
been directly intimated to the big in
terests of California that the proposed
Jeffries-Johnscn fight is standing in
the way of such legislation.
Just now the law-abiding people Of
the State are jubilant. The Govern.
or's action gratif1es hope long deferred.
The sporting element of San Francisco,
the two fighters and their friends are
correspondingly depressed. The gen.
eral inclination among them is to con.
cede that the fight cannot be held in
San Francisco.
There are now only two States in
the Union-leaving California out Of
consideration-in which fights can be
held. One Of these is Utah, the other
Nevada. The laws of Utah, are inim.
ical to prize fights, and the Governor
of that Commonwealth has already ex-
pressed himself emphaticaly on the
subject Of the Jeffries. johnson battle,
to the effect that 1t will not be per-
mitted under any circumstances. The
laws of Nevada, however, explicitly
permit fights to finish for purses Of
money.
Il am running San Francisco. am
taking no order from Gillett or his
Attorney General. You can bet your
last dollar that the big fight will be
pulled on in my town Just as adver
tised." Mayor Pat Mccarthy, Of San

Scenes such as have not occurred
In Oklahoma since the rush of the
"sooners" when the land was thrown
open to settlers. have followed the vic
tory of Oklahoma City in the cleo
ton to decide the permanent location
Of the State capital.
Three cities were aspirants for the
capital city. They were Oklahoma
City, with $4,000 population; Guthrie
and Shawnee, cities OF about 10000
population. Each town had Its cam.
paign committee and the fight has
been pushed for months. The ques-
ton was voted on at special cleo
ton the other day, and it is claimed
by adherents Of Oklahoma City that
the returns frou forty Of the seventy
counties show Oklahoma City has
won over Guthrie and Shawnee by
$4,000 plurality.
Guthrie was not willing to stand
by the decision Of the voters. and
Judge A. H. Huston of the District
Court, on application OF Guthrie citi-
zens. issued an Injunction against
members Of the State administration
to prevent the removal of State ofices
to Oklahoma City. When the result
of the election became known Okla
homa City's supporters began the
moving Of the capital. Possession of
the State seal was the first step
sought. At O'clock in the morning
an auto left Oklahoma City with one
passenger, w. B. Anthony. private
secretary to the governor. 1t is
thirty-five miles from Oklahoma City
to Guthrie. but Anthony made 1t In
the dark in less than an hour. When
he reached the outskirts of Guthrie
he muf1ed the machine, drove rapidly

Thirty7hve persons are believed to,

Many are said to have been carried
