HAMILTON IN
DARING FLIGHT
BEATS A TRAIN
CHARLES X. HAMILTON FLIES
FROM NEW YORK TO PHILADEL-
PHIA AND BACK, LANDING
SHORT WHEN ENGINE BREAKS

Philadelphia, June 13.-Charles X.
Hamilton, the aviator, today travelled
in a biplane from Governors Island,
N. Y, to a point on the outskirts of
Philadelphia, making SO miles in lib
minutes. He flew from Governors s
Island to South Elizabeth, NJ j., where
a Pennsylvania fast train was await
Ing his appearance. From that point,
town after town along the line report
ed the amazing fact that the train had
passed with Hamilton flying directly
over it." Occasionally. with the prob
able desire to give variety to his jour
ney, he diverged little. At Prince
ton, for instance, he went up near the
old college town that those gathered
there for commencement week might
have chance to see him.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Hamilton
announced he would start on his re-
turn journey to New York within an
hour.
Ends Sensational Flight.
New York, June 13.-Aviator Hamil-
ton ended his sensat .onal flight to-
day when he landed on the south
shore Of Rariton river, two miles from
Perth Amboy, N. J. No direct reports
have been received from Hamilton,
but it is reported his engine had
broken down and that compelled him
to aAght. He left Philadelphia on the
Raritan at 1880. He raced for many
miles with special train and passed
it. The train then increased it's speed
for time going at Is miles an hour,
and caught up with the aviator, the
two racing together until Hamilton
left the line Of the road for more d.
rect route to Governors Island.

meats. The prices Of all foods are in

rapidly. II was announced this week
that the price OF meats VIII be increased

importation. The quantity Of meat avail
able In the market Of Berlin this year is
almost a third less than In 1909
The butchers and the retailers declare

ment would seize upon the psychological

DOGS IN DISTRICT
GUILTY OF LIVING
Continued from Page one.

the thought OF the Inconvenience and an
noyance caused 10 the dogs by muzzling
should give some thought also TO the
danger and suffering entailed upon hu-
man beings. Only the Pasteur treatment
saves many bitten people from horrible
death.
This treatment. while perhaps not
very painful to a vigorous adult. is quite
an ordeal to a young child or a nervous
person, consisting as it does in the in
lection of an emulsion under the skin OF
the abdomen once or twice a day for
nearly thirty days. Parents whose chill
dren have been bitten are the greatest
sufferers from anxiety and suspense. de-
spite assurances given them by compe-
tent scientists as to the reliability Of the
Pasteur treatment. Naturally. they feel
very bitterly over the pain that their
little ones have TO suffer because Of the
failure OF the District authorities 10

IL may not De possible 10 keep out

The muzzling order of 1908 was not
well enforced. even in the heart or the
city, and was not continued long enough:
yet it had a very noticeable effect in
diminishing the number OF cases. The
lack OF a muzzling order for the past
year and a half is responsible, In my
opinion, for the great increase recently
