You might think, judging from
the stories written about the
knights of the singing steel, that
the good ones are better than were

back in the SOS and '90s.
But the facts don't support this.
AS matter of fact, but two records
have been broken by the winter
speed merchants since 1897, and
both are credited to one man. Nor

English editor is interested in aviation,
having given several prizes for aero
plane feats, among them the $4,000 re-

London to Manchester, and he is con-
sidered an authority on the new science
of the air.

GETS HER JAILED AGAIN.

For abusing the chance he a given
her, Judge Herr, In the Second Precinct
Court, today sentenced Mrs. Della Con-
nelly, of 81 School street, to 100 days in
the penitentiary. Judge Herr had the
woman before him several weeks ago,
charged with being under the influence
OF liquor. He sent her to jail. A letter
was received by the magistrate yester-
day from Mrs. Connolly, begging for a.
chance to redeem herself. The judge
then ordered the woman released from
jail.
A few hours after she had been re-
leased the woman was arrested by
Patrolman Schaeffer, OF the Second pre-
cinct, at Orange and Broad streets. The
patrolman told the judge he had found
the woman Intoxicated. The judge had
no compassion on her this time and
sentenced her to jail for $50 days.

SPAIN AND ROME SAID TO
BE IN HOPELESS DEADLOCK.
Spanish Premier Says Constitu-
ton Bars Vatican's Demand.

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, Aug. 81
Spain and the Vatican are now in a
deadlock in their conflict, according to
a statement today by Premier Canal
ejas. He reiterated his assertion that
the bill interdicting the establishment
of further religious orders in Spain
would not be withdrawn and could not
be without violating the Spanish Con-
stitution.
His statement bore upon the under
standing, generally held here, although
the text OF the vatican's last note has
not been published, that the Vatican
in its reply insists upon the nulliica-
ton of this measure to any further me-
~gotiations.
Premier Canalejas added that the
matter is in the hands OF the Spanish
Senate, a majority of which approves
of the bill introduced by the govern
ment. He reaffirmed that the fntroduc-
ton Of this bill was intended neither
as a ~provocation nor an offense to the
Vatican.
