The stops were Gilman, Sl miles from Chicago, at 11:3O c. m, and Pulaski, 163 miles from Chicago, at B.: 30 p. m.
 The first stop was for water, oil and gasoline; the second for that and because his engine was hot, due to a broken pump.
 Brookins broke the American long distance continued flight record and thereby won the $10,0OO prize offered by the Chicago Record Herald. Brookins reached the fair grounds eight minutes before the station was reached by the Illinois Central fast special train, making hours and F minutes elapsed time from the start in Chicago.
 The actual flying rate was hours and A minutes, and the average rate B miles an hour.

 When the Chicago crowd arrived on the grounds nearly half an hour after ward, the aviator said to the Chicago newspaper man who was his passenger the day before, and who was the first to reach him: Where have you been all the time? I got here and have been waiting to lunch with you as promised. You have kept me waiting half an hour"
 Asked about the flight, he said: Why, it was nothing but staying up. That's all. I merely took time-more than usual-that's about the cnly diff ference from a practice flight. knew I could make it.rIt was one of the prettiest flights ever made. The coun- 1 try between Chicago and here is de- l lightful Everywhere when I was fly ing low enough-and I went as low as 300 feet several times-I could see peo- pie staring from every acre almost. There must have been three-f0urths of a million looking at me My arms are tired, of course. There was strain because had to watch all the while; but am good for the same thing right now, if necessary"
 Wright's only comment was, "As the women say, I told you SO.
 At s D. m. Brookins met officially John Crebs. president of the fair as- sociation, and the air man turned over to that official the message penned by H. H. Kohlsaat, of the Chicago Record Herald, reading:
 gro the President of the State Fair
 Associations:
 With the compliments of H. H. Kohlsaat, via first air line Chicago to Springfield"
 Brookins Announced that he would make exhibition flights tomorrow. On Saturday afternoon he will race Old fields 200- horsepower automobile.
 The aviator tonight is the guest of Crebs, who requested a squad of po- lice to keep the crowds far enough from the house so that Brookins could sleep.

A REWARD OF MERIT
There Was No Misunder- standing Before Hand That He Was to Receive Anything for Vote Question of Duress.

Chicago, Ill, Sept 29.-Beckemeyer on the witness stand today before the Lorimer investigation committee said that money was paid him because of his vote. Beckemeyer is the third legislator at this hearing to confess that he was given money for his vote Representative White and State Sen ator HOlstlaw were the others.
 Counsel for Lorimer brought out on cross examination that Beckemey- CTS vote for Lorimer was not induced by the promise of any payment Beckemeyer, who had been a witness in both trials of Lee O'Nen Browne, testified that $1,O0O was paid him by Browne. who said when he gave the witness a roll of bills: Here is the LOrimer money"
 Senator Frazier of Tennessee, short lv before Beckemeyer left the witness stand questioned him closely as to all incidents the witness had testl- fled to. Beckemeyer said in reply that prior to voting for Lorimer he had not had any conversation with Browne or anyone else on which any InlI2 WdS Sdlt clDOul o D~'A eft for a vote: that he never had any dealings with Browne that would call for a payment of money; that he took the money and used it for his own benefit and never gave it back.
 Many questions by the counsel re- lated to Beckemeyer being in the custody of the officer of the state attorney's office for long period. Senator Hepburn expressed surprise. "Can it be possible" he said, that there is a law which authorizes an officer to keep a man in custody with out any charge or indictment against him2"
 Attorney Hanecy declared that there was no such law, that he was pre- pared to argue that the witness had been under duress.
 In response later to a question by Attorney Austrian, Beckemeyer said he was in custody partly at his own reouest. He told the states attor- nev that he would like to have some one protect him, and that he did not consider himself under duress or un- der restraint

Why Kitchener Kept Away.

With regard to Canada, it is in
conceivable that any of it's politicians
or statesmen should have endowed
with such brief memories as actually
to ask, as they did in parliament at
Ottawa the other day why Lord
Kitchener in crossing this continent
from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast
should have avoided the Dominion
and have remained on the soil of the
United States. Surely they cannot
have forgotten that when last summer
it was proposed by the war depart
ment in England that Lord Kitchener
should on his way back from ia pan to
England spend several weeks in Can
ada in q careful examination of the
military resources and defenses OF the
Dominion, Gen. W. d. Otter, who is

the injunction and laid down a rule
regarding the discharge of sewage into
a stream that will hereafter govern in
all such matters in the United King
dom. In effect, this rule is that a city
may not discharge into a stream that
which makes the stream worse. The
test is whether the water below a. city
is as pure the water above it.
This is practically the same rule
that the courts of New Jersey have es-
tablished in dealing with the pollution
of the Passaic. The municipalities
along the river have been given until
1912 to cease sewering into the stream.
The injunction applies to the discharge
of offensive and deleterious matter. 1t
will simply restrain Paterson from
making the Passaic worse below that
city than it is above. That. rule will
equally apply to the city of Passaie. TO
Newark and to all of the municipa4i-
ties along the river from the Passaic
Falls to the mouth of the stream The
injunction will be effective when the
time limit is reached, and the test of a
city's standing in court will very likely
be along similar lines to those fixed
in the English court of final resort

Pensionind of Teachers.

The matter of the pensionfng of
school teachers either by the state or
by the municipality employing them
is something of which a great deal is
apparently about to be said. Wa.nout
commenting upon the desirabil1ty or
undesirability of the adoption OF such
pension system, it can pointed
out what other states have done IN Uhe
matter. The state of Rhode island
has a pension system for school
teachers which is best explained in
the language of the statutes or that
state, which is as follows: ANY
person of either sex who on the 2su
day of April, 1907, or thereafter shali
have reached the age OF sixty years,
and who for thirty-five years snail
have been engaged in teaching as his
principal occupation and have been
regularly employed as a teacher IN the
public schools or in such other schools
within this state as are supported
wholly or in part by state appropl-
alton and are entirely managed ana
controlled by the state, twenty-five
years of which employment. including
the fifteen years Immediately proceed

from the state for the remainder OF
his life an annual pension equal to
one half of his average contractuai
salary during the last nve years be-
fore retiring, but in no case shall sucn
annual pension be more than five
hundred dollars: Provided, however,
that no such employment as teacher

British court decision regarding
river pollution recently rendered has
broken down rule that has pre- Vailed

years The case was one that had
been in litigation for some ten years.
In 1899 an injunction was applied for
to prevent the Birmin Cham district
drainage board from discharging sew
age eff1uent from its disposal works
into the River Tame.
When the proceedings were begun in
the courts this effluent was noxious
and greatly increased the pollution of
the stream below Birmingham. At
once the drainage board began to make

the injunction should be made effective
in spite of the fact that the sewage

not nearly so Objectionable as when
the litigation was begun.
