MT Haller says the organization is composed of hun dredS of men, some of them high mp in the employ of the railroad, and that members of the gang are scat tered from Kansas City to the GllI and from Reelfoot lake to Mexico.
 The largest number of thefts from the freight cars have occurred at Gillham, where there is a heavy grade. The thieves would catch the cars at that point and sometimes en tirely empty one, resealing the cars ] with Kansas City Southern seals with which they had supplied them selves

New York. July 5.-Mayor Gayrior was
asked to-day If there was any likelihood
of this city prohibiting the exhibition Of
moving pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson

and that the only way TO prevent the

to revoke the license Of the building.
There is no likelihood Of this.

MAY CALL EXTRA
SESSION OF SENATE
Taft Considering Question OF
Naming Two Judges.
IMPORTANT CASES AT HAND
Standard oil, Tobacco, and Corpora
tion Tax Hearings VIII Come Up at
Next Session of Court-Fuu Bench
Desired for These Cases-0ther-
wise a Two Months Delay.

Beverly. Mass, July 5.--President Taft
had but little time to-day to think about
the appointments TO the Supreme Court
beueh which he must make befnre next
winter. From the summer White House,
consequently there came but little novel
in the way of speculation as TO who
might be named.
Gov Hughes. of New York, remains
the first choice for the chief justiceship
and Supreme Court Justice Swayze. Of
New Jersey, seems to be in the forefront
for the vacancy in the ranks OF the as
sociate justices. Reports from Washing
ton that Solicitor General Bowers might
succeed Justice FGuller are not regarded
in Beverly as being based upon good
information. SO far the President has
heard practically TO new names. Within
a few days. however. they are expected
to pour in.
May Call senate Together.
There is a bare possibility that Presi-
dent Taft may call an extraordinary ses-
sion of the Senate in the fall to ratify
his nominations to the Supreme Court.
While extraordinary sessions Of the Sen
ate are not unusual It is believed here
that Mr.. Taft will not make use OF one
at this time
As 1t is, the Supreme Court has but
little to transact until November. and it
is confidently expected that the three i'm
portant eases, the Standard Oil, tobacco
and corporation tax. set for early that
month. will be showed forward once
more and will not come up until De-
cember or later.
The reasO nadvanced for an extraordi-
nary session is that by resort TO il, the
President could have the supreme Court
back to its full strength of nine in time
TO decide those cases. It IS tactIy under
stood that these three suits were ad-
vanced some time ago in order that they
might be heard by nine justices.
Ample Time for Him.
But if they were put forward once
again until December the President would
have ample time to make his nomina-
tons. Congress meets anyway on Decsm-
Der 3, and the Senate probably would
ratify nominations Of this significance al
once.
The suggestion of an extraordinary ses-
sion. however. was brought TO the Pres
idetns attention only tonight. He has
not had time 10 consider it carefully
| That he viii do so is believed here, and
| if he concludes hat it is warranted be
probably would call il although that
/ would mean an additional expenditure OF
! thousands of dollars.

JOHNSON STILL ALIVE.

t killed-yet

Jack Johnson not kined-yet.
Many anxious. inquPfes, and other not
so anxious. came 10 The Herald Office
last night about the reported assassina-
ton of the big black champion.
The majority of these were evidently
from Johnson's own race, and they
seemed greatly relieved when informed
that the rumor was only a rumor. and
nothing more.
Some of the questioners showed by
their tone that they were disappointed
when the report could not beverifed.
One was banteringly told that NO,
Johnson hasn't been killed-yet" and be-
came somewhat lprried over the unex-
pected emphasis placed onI the suffx;
! showing that the sally had carried.
It was a peculiar commentary on the
deep personal influence of the fight, with
its awful appeal to the rabid passions OF
large number of both races.
These queries were received well VI
into the night, and even in the early
hours to-day further indicated the gener-
al spread Of the rumor

AEROPLANE FLIGHT
OUT OYER OCEAN
Glenn CartisS Guides Biplane
Across the Breakers.

Atlantic City, July 5.-Glenn Curtiss
made the first aeroplane trip over the
Atlantic Ocean Just before sundown to-
night when he guided his biplane in an
eight-minute flight along the front Of
the city. going about two miles TO sea
The trip extended IN length from the
million dollar pier to the inlet and back
TO the Chelsea limits of the resort, with
a final dash to his starting place.
Although high tide left starting place
in soft sand hardly fifty yards wide and
only twice as long, the aviator secured
a start from there that cleared his ma
chine from the breakers in front of him
| and he landed within a few feet OF the
tracks made as he started.
The successful light VAST made soon
after the first try of the day was nearly
ended in disaster, and smashed a stoy of
the flyer after Curtiss had deftIy eluded
a breaker and driven his machine to the
beach. An air eddy dropped him from
height OF 100 yards to less than ten feet
from the surf Cheers from a crowd of
| thousands that packed the beach greeted
both attempts, and a concerted yell went
up when the daring bird-man ended his
/ real over-the-sea journey.
81 am perfectly satisfied now that We
have proved the ability Of the bipIane TO
maneuver over the ocean as we'll as over
the land with anything like good weather
conditions" declared the aviator as he
was being congratulated after his sue
| cessfuI flight "Once I was clear of the
sharp air currents that swept the beach
I had perfect control Of the machine and
could have remained up much longer had
I been sure that the tide would not have
| entirely blotted out my landing place on
the beach while was in the air"
