ATLANTA MAY YET
/. GET OLD POSTOFF|CE
FOR A CITY HALL
Senator Clay Has the Provis-
ion Donating Building to City
Restored to the Sundry Civil
Bill
CHANCES ARE GOOD
FOR PASSING SENATE
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June AT
the suggestion and on the motion OF
Senator Clay, the senate committee on
appropriations today restored to the
sundry civil bill the item relating TO
the old postoffice at Atlanta, which
was stricken from the bill last Satur-
day, just before it PASSED the house OF
representatives. The restored item Is
intact in every detail, and is a facsimile
of the provision to which Mayor Mad
dox and a delegation of Atiant1ans
agreed several weeks ago which they
were here in the interest of the postot-
fic transaction. 1t provides that the
building shall be sold and the ground
donated to the city, to be used for a
city hall.
MEMBERS c. lifted.
Senator Clay, himself member OF
the appropriation committee, expert
enced little trouble in restoring the
item to the bill. Moreover he has COM
mftted all of the Republican as well
as Democratic members OF the COM
mittee to the support OF the provision.
The people of Atlanta should under
stand, however, that the item els SUD-
ject to the same objections in the SEN
ate that knocked. it out in the house.
A point of order will effectively Kill It.
and there will be no further hope al
this session of congress.
Georgia's junior senator busted himself
concerning the disposition of the old post
office Immediately he learned that the
item had been killed in the house. He mad
previously assured citizens of Atlanta
that he would take care of the provision
in the senate, If it passed the house It's
defeat in the house only tended TO IN
crease his zeal In the matter. The fact
that Senator Clay Is the only Democrat
ia member of the senate appropriation
committee who has attended all OF It's
meetings and kept abreast with all It's
work probably helped him in handling
the old postofice matter. Senators Dan
tel, of Virginia; Tillman, of South caro-
lima: Foster, of Louisiana; and Cuiber-
son, of Texas, have all been detained by
sickness from attendance on this commit
tee. The Georgian has, therefore. borne
the brunt of the work for the minority
GOES TO CONFERENCE.
Should the old postoffice item remain In
the bill when # passes the senate, it vii
go to conference. 1t is another fortunate
circumstance that Senator Clay will bt
a member of the conference committee
on part Of the senate, and may be relied
upon to hold the provision in the bill.
Colonel Livingston declares that he vii
be able to induce the house to accept thS
item in conference, IL it can be restored
in the senate.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
RACE With TRAIN
ON RETURN TRIP

Cleveland. O., Sept, 2.--Racing with
a fast Lake Shore mail train, Glenn HI.
Curtiss today drove his biplane over
the water from Cedar Point to Euclid
Beach. an air line distance Of sixty
miles, completing an 120-mile round
trip flight, and establishing an TIM
questioned worlds record for over the
water flights. Incidentally he beat The
train into Cleveland a full seventeen
minutes.
The actual distance traversed, esti-
mated at the United States hydro
graphic Office, was 64% miles.
At 2:47 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Curtiss assembled over Lake Erie from
the sandy beach of Cedar Point
AT 4:12 p. M the aeroplane, after
fighting a nineteen mile breeze all the
way, passed the center of Clevland and
rachel Euclid Beach at exactly 4:29
p. m.
drizzling rain was falling when
Curtiss gave the order for the starting
of his motor. At noon, however, the
aviator announced he would make "a
trial flight. He then determined to
start on his sixty-mile journey at 3:15
p. m, but when it was found that the
train bearing Mrs. Curtiss would leave
Sandusky little earlier he changed
his mind and set out despite the rain.
He encountered considerable diff
Guilty In navigating The treacherous
currents above Lake Erie. The first
ten miles were covered in thirteen
minutes, but after that the breeze, which
had been steady, grew gusty, necessi-
tating many dips and maneuvers that
the aviator might maintain his ball
ance.
OFF Cleveland harbor the velocity of
the breeze had diminished to twelve
miles an hour, but it was unsteady.
Tonight the aviator, his wife and the
members Of his party were entertained
at banquet given by the Cleveland
Aero club. They will leave for the
east in the morning.
