RAILROADS WILL
REACH AGREEMENT

AT the conclusion OF a conference which
has been in session since Monday morn
ing, A. D. Lightner, general agent of the
Frisco executive department, issued a
statement in which he said there was no
difficulty In reaching an agreement be-
tween his company, the Illinois Central
and the Central of Georgia in the joint
use of the Thomas yards.
However. on account of certain charges
being made for rent and other services
on the part of the Frisco rendered to
the other lines, upon which the represen-
tatlves at the conference could not pass
final Judgment, the conference had adj
journed to meet again at an early date.
1t was learned that as soon as the few
details are worked out the yards will be
occupied by the three railroads. The
statement of Mr.. Lightner follows:
There was no difficulty in reaching an
agreement for the joint use Of the
Thomas yards. However, 1t was found
that in order to reach industries, connect
line interchange and serve the freight
houses, limited use of the Frisco inside
yard space would still be necessary. The
Central of Georgia and Illinois Central
representatives were not prepared to act
upon terms of rental and expenses pro-
vided for such services. Therefore a fu-
ture conference will be necessary. This
will be held at an early date"
Mr. Lightner, in addition to his official
statement, said the railroads were very
anxious to enter the new yards as 1t
was believed all would be- benefited
thereby. However, until the smaller de-
tails are worked out, which will require
only a short time, the yards would re-
main as at the present.
T. ]. Foley, assistant general manager
of the Illinois Central and j. H. John
son, general superintendent of the Cen
trail of Georgia, who participated In the
conference, left for their homes last
night

HAMILTON MAKES
FLIGHT BY NIGHT

Nashville, June 22.-Charles X. Hamil-
ton made a sensational departure in his
aviation work here tonight, when he took
his biplane into the air after darkness
had fallen. flying for Is minutes. while
10000 people at the fair grounds stood
aghast at his daring.
1t was the longest flight he has made
here. The attempt was unannounced and
the spectators hardly knew what was
happening until the great brd-like fig
ure had shown itself far above the
myriads of electric lights at the grounds
and disappeared into blackness.
Suddenly it reappeared and three times
Hamilton thrilled the spectators by dip
ping In front of the grandstand until he
almost touched the rows of lights stretch
ed across the track.
With a searchight fixed under the
seat of his biplane Charles X. Hamilton
scared into the night again at 1851 o'clock
circling out far from the starting point
from an altitude of about 800 feet. The
light gave the machine the appearance
of a meteor moving In zigzag course
and numerous circles. The clouds had
dispersed and the spectators could keep
plane. At 112 while some distance away
the motor blew a cylinder head which
struck the propeller and the fight was
suddenly terminated. The craft was
brought lightly to earth in marshy por-
ton of the infield.
The aviator later made the following
statement:
II was forced to land by blowing one
of the cylinder heads out and consider
myself lucky that l was In It place to
land at the time. My fight tonight will
probably open up new area In aviation
as 1t will enable cross country flights to

BREAD SUPPLY OF THE
WORLD TO BE INSURED

Minneapolis, June Reinsurance of the

turtles to come was the keynote of the
first days session of the Millers' Ma
| tional Federation here today.
President Dwight NJ. Baldwin presided.
w. c. Brown president of the New York
Central lines; Gov. A. C. Eberhart of
Minnesota, NJ. A. Carleton of the United
States department of agriculture, and e.
Fl. Price, expert agent of the federation,
opened the campaign.
In his address Mr.. Brown said the
waste on the farm was the first peril of
the nation and he urged scientific agri-
culture as a remedy.
1.-The high price of foodstuffs and the
blind cutlery against the same which We
have heard in protest during the past
two years is the preliminary breach of
the storm which will become a hurricane
unless remedy is found declared the
speaker.
The speaker said it was the deteriora-
ton of the farms that sent the Roman
empire crashing down to dissolution, more
than depotism and vices of the govern
ment. About 500 delegates are in attend
ance.

SPLIT BY D|SCORD
Two Factions Develop Among
the Delegates

ment with Older Club and
Wright Brothers

New York, June 22.-Instead of the har-
mony aviators hoped for. delegates repre-
senting aero clubs from all parts of the
country only widened tonight the breach
that has divided them. A joint meeting
of the Aeronautic Association of America
and the American Aeronautical Fedora
ton, held here tonight. broke into hostile
factions and a fight for control of the
new sport is threatened.
The Aero Club of America, which hith-
erto has dominated domestic aviation by
virtue of it's membership in the Interna-
tional Aeronautical Federation and Its
agreement with the Wright brothers, is
the nucleus around which one. of the or
CARNATIONS entitled the National Coun-
ell of AFFILIATED Clubs of the Aero Club of
America" will be formed.
Opposed to this faction will be the
American Aeronautical Federation
which was formed tonight at the Waldorf.
Astoria.
The national council was authorized by
the directors of the Aero club at a meeting

| The selection of sites for international
races will be vested In the national coun
ell after 1911, and committee from the
council Is to deal with questions involv-
| ing the sanctioning of national meets.
The formation of the American Aeron-
autical Federation was effected folfcf
ing long and stormy joint session Of

Trouble began when the two organiza-
lions met In joint convention this after
noon. The right of delegates from the
federation to sit In the g6nt convention
was challenged by the Aero club and a
four-hours' wrangle followed.

The Coronation Oath

From Harper's Weekly.
What funny old coronation oath it is.
OF course. it should be modified so as to
be less abusive of the Roman Catholics
and more in accordance with the urbane
catholicity of our day. Yet the proposed
notifications are very slight-no more, it
appears, than to substitute contrary to
my belief for "superstitious and idola-
trous'' in allusion to alteration of saints
and the mass and to omit an injurious
allusion to the Pope. The declaration of
dissent from transubstantiation and other
beliefs and practices understood to be Ro-
man Catholic Is as definite and precise as
ever. Yet there are violent objections to
any change, the action of various Pro
testant societies, being so energetic as to
remind the Suns correspondent that the
giant Pope is still to many members OF
these societies what he was to Bunyan.
1t is to smile at these vehement ebulll-
lions. If the human race has progressed
in anything, it has progressed in religious

Woman Suicides with Poison

Philadelphia, June 22-Soon after
her 19-year-old son had left her Mrs.
Ellen c. Eagle committed suicide in a
sensational manner today on a side
walk in Media, Pa, near here. Accom-
panied by her son Louis Mrs. Eagle
came here from her home in Lans-
downe. Pa, on trolley car. Alght-
ing from the car Mrs. Eagle told the
boy to go into a drug store and buy
sodawater, as the day was hot. AS
he turned his back Mrs. Eagle took a
bottle containing poison from her
pocket and drained the contents. The
son did not witness the act. The
woman collapsed in the arms of her
son and died soon afterward in a hos
pital. Mrs. Eagle was worrying over
the illness of one of her daughters and
this Is believed to have been her mo-
tive. Her husband is prominent resi-
dent of Lansdowne.
