RESOLUTION TAKEN
AS JOLT AT CURTTSS

New York. Aug. 2-The national
council of the Aero club of America
which met yesterday to consider the
protest of Chas. NJ Hamilton against
Glenn H. Curtiss, announced that a
resolution had been adopted denying
the sanction of the club 10 any avi-
alton meet not open to all qualified
and licensed aviators. Although no
mention is made of either Curtiss or
Hamilton, the resolution is interpret
ed generally as a direct slap at Cur
tiss. In his protest Hamilton charged
that representations made by Curtiss
to the management OF the coming
Harvard aviation meet had caused
the management to refuse his entry.
This conduct he denounced rs un-
sportsmanlke and un-American. In
effect. the national council now rules
that unless Hamilton's entry IS ac-
cepted the Harvard aviation meet win
not be sanctioned and the records
made there will not be considered Of

of the United States secret service,
said: Il have followed every detail
of the Crippen case, and will say the
denoument when the arresting Off
GERS boarded the liner Montrose at
Quebec, was in harmony with the dra-
matte incidents following the discov-
cry of the body at Crippen's house in
London. The successful employment
of the wireless is a beautiful demon
stration of what may be accomplish
ed in pursuit of a criminal. The phase
of the case on which the attention OF
the police will be centered is the rela-
tives Identification of the victim and
the proof that a crime was actually
committed. / have noticed that Su-
perintendent Forrest of Scotland
Yard is confident the government has
an impregnable case built on circum-
stantial evidence, and l have the
highest opinion of this conservative
