DR.. FREDERICK A. CLEVELAND,
NEW YORK, is TO HEAD
THE SERVICE.
SQUARE DEAL. FOR RAILROADS
President Taft Tells Visiting Labor
Leader He Will See They Get 1t in
Pending Rate Revision Proceed
ings.-Taks on Postal Banks.

ngton.-President Taft an
nounced the appointment OF DR..
Frederick A. Cleveland, director OF
the bureau of municipal research of
New York, to head a federal staff
of experts to investigate the expendi-
lures in the executive departments.
| Mr.. Cleveland has entered on his
duties
Each cabinet officer will employ
three experts to improve the eff
cheney and TO promote economy in
his department, and Mr.. Cleveland
will investigate every department to
see what results are being obtained.
The president hopes by this
method to reduce the running eX-
penses of the government and at the
same time to improve the efficiency.
1t is not the purpose to get rid OF
any OF the old employees, but merely
that those now employed may work
to better advantage.
"The president told me that he
could be depended upon to give the
railroads square deal regardless
OF the Clamor of political influence,
and that furthermore he was going
to see that they get it, said I. j.
Nolan, general secretary and treas
urer OF the international Brother
hood Of Steam Shovel and Dredge-
men.
Mr.. Nolan called on the presi-
dent relative to the proposed in
crease in freight rates, which his
organization approves.
Mr.. Nolan said that labor organ
Izations had reached the conclusion
that the proposed increases were
right and should be allowed; that
unless they were made the railroads
would be compelled to reduce eX-
penses, in which event labor would
be the first to suffer.
At cabinet meeting the presi-
dent and his advisers received re-
port from the postal savings banks
trustees regarding the putting OF
postal banks into operation.
The matter was under discussion
FOR several hours, and 1t was an
nounced that the cabinet probably
would be compelled to have another
session.
Estimates for the several depart
ments also were under discussion.
Arch bishop Ireland called at the
whitehouse and saw President Taft
He remained but a few moments and
announced on leaving that he had
merely called to pay his respects

| few in his Wright biDlane from Chi

miles from the starting point, with
! but two stops. At the second landing
| at Mount Pulaski. he had flown l6S
miles with but one stop, shattering
the American record for distance
under the same conditions, made by
Glenn Curtiss when he flew from Al
bany to New York, a distance of 14l
miles
Not an accident occurred to mar
the phenomenal feat. Both landings
enroute were without a flaw and the
arrival in Springfield was made at
4;27 p. m, just three minutes earlier
than the time allotted Brookins be-
fore the race.
A crowd estimated at 100, 900 wait
ed for the aviator to appear out of
the sky 1t had been reported that
he was due 10 arrive in few minutes.
Eagerly the crowd gazed at the blue
sky toward the north until finally they
distinguished a tiny speck which grew
more distinct each minute. a shout
went up:
It's BroOkins," Hes coming"
A few moments later and the great
white wings were distinctly visible.
The crowd went mad with enthusi-
asm. They pushed and crowded and
finally became unmanageable. They
broke from behind the fences and
swarmed out into the open space in
the race track. A little while more
and they scattered in fright as Brook

When the train arrived Wilbur
Wright, James +. Plew and Victor
Lougheed of the Illinois Aero club
and Roy knabenshue left the train
and rushed to the biplane, still
stranded in the Cornfeld. Brookins
asked for gasoline, and then it was
discovered there was none on the
train, 1t had TO be purchased at Gill
man, three-quarters of mile away,
causing more delay.
Brookins was again forced at 500
to descend at Mount Pulaski, only
twenty-four miles from the state fair
grounds. The landing was one of the
most remarkable that has even been
seen in the history Of aviation. Trees
and fences surrounded him on all
sides and with perfect control he
picked out spot, after soaring
about in a short circle, scarcely more
than haff a block square and landed
square in the center. The special
train was held up, the aeroplane's

he assembled again.
From Pulaski to the fair grounds
a speed of thirty-iive miles an hour
was maintained. Brookins's average
