OVER-CITY FLYING.
Lathann's Record in That Respect q
Brilliant Achievement.

Hubert Latham, the French aviator
gave new exhibition of his nerve and
daring Monday in his flight over the
city of Baltimore for the Baltimore
Suns prize of five thousand dollars,
and his work marks an interesting adj
vance step in the history of man-flight.
The aviator was aIoft forty-five min
utes and during that time he flew over
the city in all directions, rooftops and
other vantage points being occupied by
spectators bent on following his prog
ress. Latham had to contend with
wind blowing at from seven to fifteen
miles an hour and he was not content
to make a cautious fight but INDUCED
in the gyrations for which he has be-
come famous, darting UP and down and
going through various evolutions to
heightsn the interest of the spectacle
His flight from the aviation field to
Fort McHenry and thence up the inner
har9oor over Baltimore by routes that
covered the principal districts of the
city and its environs, and then back to
the aviation neld was made in a fifty
horse power monoplane without a stop.
His work easily sets q record for
over-oity flying. and constitutes bril-
liant feature of a meet that suffered
severely from adverse weather condi-
tons at the outset. There is yet much
to be desired in making aeroplane mo-
tors trustworthy and devising means
of lessening the strain upon other
parts of the machine, but recent ex
hibitions show that the aeroplane is
much more dependable than anybody
believed UP to the present record
making season. Quite as significant in
it's way as the Latham performance
was the mile-a-minute fight across
country from Dayton to Columbus with
a Wright flyer carrying a consignment

What is a conspiracy as il relates
to offenses against the government -
That is q question which the federal
government is asking the United
states supreme court. through the de-
pdrtment of justice. 1t seems the SUI
preme court has never made a ruling
on the relation of the statute of limita-
tons to conspiracie as those covered
by the sherman antitrust act. Two
prominent citizens of Eau Claire Wis
are seeking to avoid trial on the charge
of having conspired to deiraud the
government of large tracts of timber
land in Idaho, on the plea that the
statute of limitations releases them
from liability The case is now be-
fore the supreme court for review
A similar situation exists in cases
arising from the attempt of the sugar
trust to drive the PennsyIva MIA Sugar
Refining company out of business. The
question of the legal nature of q con-
spiracy will also be of i'm portanca in
the dissolution suits against the
Standard Oil company and the tobacco
trust.
This is only another illustration of
the tactics employed by trust lawyers
to enable offending corporations to
evade the intent of the law. The gov
eminent has made good progress in
enforcing the Sherman act. but there
may be Ioopiloles still through which
the escape of the guilty is possible

but even at that, it is thought the
city will be the gamer by the new
mode of taxing.
Under the old Law the city collected
in the neighborhood of $4,000 for the
poll and military tax. Under the new
law, it is estimated that the city
ought to collect in the neighborhood
of $4,000, and it is predicted by some
that more than this will be collected.
Even if only $4,000 are collected the
city will gain more than it loses

PERSONAL TAX LAW.
May Cause Confusion-Many VIII Be
Exempt Who Now Pay Poll Tax.

The personal tax law seems likely
to cause more or less confusion be-
fore it is working as well as the poll
and communication tax law has worked
tn recent years, says the Danbury
correspondent of The Ansonia Senti-
mel. The greatest amount of confu-
sion seems likely to grow out of the
question of exemption from this tax
The law reads: Every male person
between the ages of 21 and so years
shall, except as otherwise specially
provided by law, be liable to pay a
personal tax of two dollars for town
and state taxes in lieu of a poll and
communication tax" Farther along in
the same act is the following: "The
provisions of the general statutes
which relate to exemptions from poll
and Communication taxes shall continue
to be operative in exemption from
personal taxes"
Formerly Paid One Dollar.
1t is a well known fact that under
the old law many persons between the
ages of II and 40, who were exempt
from military tax. paid a one dollar
poll tax. Under the present law these
persons are exempt from any tax
whatever it is stated, because the
statutory provision which exempted
them from paying the military tax I'M
der the old law, exempts them from
paying the personal tax under the
new. In this case and in others some
what like it. the city will lose a dol
