FLIES To PHILADELPHIA
WITH EXPRESS SPEED
Charles K. Hamilton Covers Sc
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 a year, at Philadelphia
Monday made the most daring flight Of
his career, travelling in his biplaDe
from Governors Island, n. Y, to
point at the outskirts of Philadelphia,
a distance Of eighty-six miles, in 113
minutes, unofficial time.
Hamilton few over Tascony, a sub
urb, five and three-f1fths miles from
the start, at 1879. At 1916 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 12:11 p. M.
FIVE minutes behind the aviator
Hamilton passed a point a mile
west of Philadelphia, fifty-one and one
half miles from the start, at 1894.
IRAN ana HyluS machine were lIdNcl-
ing together To catch up with Ham
ilton the train is said to have been run
seventy-five miles an hour between
Trenton and Monmouth junction. The
round-trip distance is the longest city
to-city fight ever made by an aviato',
exceeding the record flights of Curtiss
and Paulhan. The speed of the flight
was at an average of 1:19 a mile, or
about forty-six miles an hour.
A feature Of the wonderful achieve
ment was the ease with which the
aviator followed a train on the Penn
sylvania Railroad running at high
speed. According to his program, ne
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.
Jeffries and Johnson Not to "Scrap"
in San Francisco

Governor James N Gillett, OF Cali
fornia, has directed Attorney General
u. 5. Webb to take whatever action
may be necessary to stop the fight be-
tween James j. Jeff.ies and Jack John
son for the heavyweight championship
of the world, which is scheduled to be
fought in San Francisco July 4.
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-Pacifc Exposition. 1t has
been directly intimated to tne big in
terests of California that the proposed
Jeffries-Johnson fight is standing in
the way of such legislation.
Just now the law-abiding people o!
the State are jubilant. The Govern
or's action gratifies 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
considerations which fights can be
held. One of these is Utah, the other
Nevada. The laws of Utah are inim-
zeal to prize fights, and the Governor
of that Commonwealth has already ex-
pressed himself emphaticaly on the
subject of the Jeffries-J johnson battle,
to the effect that it will not be per-
mitted under any circumstances. The
laws of Nevada, however, explicitly
permit fights to a finish for purses of
money.
Il am running San Francisco. I am
taking no order from Gillett or his
Attorney General. You can bet your
last dollar that the big fight will be
pulled off in my town just as adver-
tised.' Mayor Pat Mccarthy, of San
Francisco, skipping from depot to de-
pot to catch a Pacific coast bound fly
er, delivered this ultimatum in Chicago.

STATEHOOD BILL PASSES SENATE
Action Insures Admission of Arizona
and New Mexico Union.

Two more stars, making forty-eight
in all, will be added to the American
flag as a result of the action of the
United States Senate in unanimously
passing the bill granting statehood to
Arizona and New Mexico.
The House having already acted, the
measure went to conference commit
tee, which will arrange the differences
in the two measures adopted, and sub
nit for the approval of Congress and
the President the act under which the
territories will be admitted into the
Unto.
The Democrats had feared the Re
publicans would endeavor to postpone
the report of the committee, thus kill
ing statehood for this session. But
they received positive assurances that
delay would not be attempted and that
Congress would not adjourn without
action.
Thus has ended VIGOROUSLY a strug-
gle of years on the part of Arizona and
New Mexico to be admitted as separate
States. United, they could have re-
CS1Neu SIdCSuOOu DIT Tic lille IIlS HIGH
privilege was accorded to Oklahoma.
But the Arizonians objected to amalga-
nation with the New Mexicans and
strenuously opposed the plan.
The terms upon which the grant is
made may not meet with the full ap-
prevail of the residents of the terri
tories. They may feel that onerous
-,
respects, but there is not the slightest
doubt but that they will accept them
and lose no time in qualifying for the
improved status which has been Of

WIRELESS OFFICIALS HELD.
Heads of United Company Accused of
Unloading Worthless Securities.

United States postofice inspectors
raided the handsome Broadway offices
of the United Wireless Telegraph Com
pany in New York and caused the ar
rest of Christopher G. Wilson, presi-
dent of the company; Samuel S. b.
CART, first vice president, and William
w. Tompkins, president of the New
York Selling Agency, which, officers of
the wireless company say, was former
ly their fiscal agent, but has ceased to
represent them.
Chief Inspector Mayer subsequently
gave out a long formal statement in
which he charged that, although the
company has been running at loss,
the price of its shares has been adj
vanced by manipulation to fictitious
values and that individual officers of
the company have sold out their stock
to the general public at a profit esti-
mated in one instance at between five
and ten millions, with other instances
In proportion.
Wilson was released in SIS, 1000 bail

RAIL BILL REPORTED
TO HOUSE AND SENATE
Finished Work of Conferees Is De.
cIared to Be Satisfactory
to Upper House.
FEATURES OF COMPLETED BILL
Commerce Court of Five Judges to
Be Appointed Under Its
Provisions.

The conference report on the admin
istration railroad bill was presented
to the Senate in Washington the other
day by Chairman Elkins, of the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce. 1t
was also laid before the House.
Generally speaking, the finished
work Of the conferees is declared to be
satisfactory to the Senate, although in
large part it follows the lines of the
House bill. A number of the amend
ments secured by ''insurgent" Repub-
lican Senators, however, were retained
by the conferees.
AS finally perfected by the conferees,
the bill carries most of the features
of the original administration measure
except the sections to permit railroads
to make pooling agreements, to author
lie the government to regulate the is
suance of stocks and bonds and to per
nit a railroad to purchase the remain
ing stock of another line in which it
already controls so per cent of the
stock. So much opposition developed
in both houses against these provisions
that all except the securities section
were abandoned outright.
In the place of the House provision
the conferees incorporated provision
authorizing the President to appoint
commission to investigate questions
pertaining to the issuance of stocks
and bonds by railroads. Expenditures
by the commission are limited to $685.
900, and it was not given authority to
summon witnesses or to compel the
production of books and papers. No
time was fixed for the making of a
report.
The bill as perfected, therefore, and
as likely to become law, would create
commerce court composed of five
judges, the first of whom are to be
selected by the President and there
after by the chief justice of the Su-
preme Court
Certain sections would enlarge the
power of the commission over railroad
regulations and practices and place I'M
der the jurisdiction of the commission
telegraph, telephone and cable COM
panies, whether wire or wireless, and
would broaden the scope of the word
railroad so as to extend the iurisdic-
ton of the commission over bridges,
ferries and terminal facilities.
General provisions are made affect
ing railroads to compel them to fur
nish rates upon application and to au-
thorize the commission to institute
inquiries on its own motion. By pro-
visions adopted by the House and re
tanned by the conferees the scope of
the commission to make regulations
was enlarged. It is also provided that
the shipper may designate through
routes.
