FIND TARIFF NOT GUILTY
That Is the Majority Finding of the
Senate Committee on High Cost
of Living.

Washington, d. Chat the tariff
is not guilty, that it has had little
or nothing to do with the increased
cost of living in the last few years, is
the conclusion of the senate commits
sion that was appointed early in the
session.
The majority has submitted its re-
port. The Democrats will have some
thing to say about the tariff, but their
report is not ready to file. They had
charged in the first instance that the
principal function of this committee
was to prove that the tariff was in no
wise responsible.
The report, very extended one, will
be printed as a public document and
will be given very wide circulation
as a campaign document.

BREAKS ALL FLYING RECORDS
WALTER BRookiNs soAss 1856
MILES AND WINS $4,000.
Young Aviator Surpasses All Cross.
Country Flights in His Chicago
TO Springfield Trip.

Springfield, Ill.--What is looked up
on as one Of the most remarkable
feats in aerial navigation was accom-
plished by Walter B. Brookins, in a
Wright biplane, Thursday, when he
successfully few from Chicago to this
city, and in doing so he broke all cross
country aeronautic records.
With only two stops. neither of
which was actually necessary, he made
the trip from Chicago to Springfield,
distance of 186 miles. in five hours
and forty-nine minutes, maintaining an
average speed of 1927 miles an hour,
and won the $4,000 prize offered by
Chicago newspaper.
Along the entire route. from Chicago
to the state fair grounds here, hun
dreds of thousands of people cheered
the daring young aviator as he passed
AS the great mechanical bird came
to the ground here in the presence of
10000 people he was cheered vocifer-
ousiy for fully half an hour.
Brookins left Chicago at 9:15 a. m.
He dropped out of the clouds over the
fair grounds in Springfield at 4:45.
Forty-seven minutes after Brookins
rose from the ground in Washington
park, Chicago, the Daylight Special
left the Park Row station over the ILL
nois Central A special car had been
attached in which travelled Wilbur
Wright, the airship inventor; Roy
Knabenshue, special representative Of
the Wright brothers; members of the
Aero club of Illinois, and about forty
newspaper men.
After a fight Of two hours and TWEEN
ty-eight minutes Brookins came to Gil
man, where he arrived at 11:43 Brook
ms was far ahead of the train and he
decided to alight and await the arri-
val of the train.
The train arrived at Gilman at 1915
and orders were given by the division
Superintendent of the railroad to hold
the train until the biplane should re-
sumo its fight. The gasoline and wa.
ter tanks were replenished. and after
the engines had been gone over care.
fully by Wright and Knabenshue.
Brookins resumed his flight.
From Gilman to Springfield the spe-
cial train and the aeroplane ran neck
and neck, first one forging ahead,
then the other, but never at any time
more than a quarter of mile apart.
Brookins was forced at 1870 to de-
scend at Mt. Pulaski for fuel, only
twenty-four miles from the state fair
grounds. The landing was one of
the most remarkable that has ever
been seen in the history of aviation.
| Trees and fences surrounded him on
all sides and with perfect control he
picked out a spot, after soaring about
In a short circle, scarcely more than
half block square, and landed square
in the center. The special train was
held up, the aeroplane's supplies again
were renewed, and at 3:45 he as
cended again. From Pulaski to the
| fair grounds speed of thirty-five
miles an hour was maintained.
