Buenos Aires, the capital of the Ar
gentine Republic. is in some respects
the most cosmopolitan city in the
world. No important European nation
but has contributed its capital and its
people to the upbuiding of this great
metropolis. 1t also has the distinc-
ton of being the second city of Latin
population in the world, being larger
than the largest cities in Italy and
Spain.
There is perhaps no city which ex-
hibits Il greater variety of pleasing
contemporary styles Of domestic ar
chitecturc. The city council tries to
encourage beautiful building by an
nually Offering a gold medal to the ar
chitect who is found to have planned
the most attractive facade and by
freeing from the building tax the
building thus favored.
The outward aspect of Buenos Aires
is rather that of a European than Of
an American capital. 1t has all the
finish of Paris or a Berlin. The alb
sence of the irregular sky line, caused
in North American cities by the ex-
IRENE height of some business build
ings as we'll as the fact that the
ground of the city is quite uniformly
built upon, even in the more outlying
regions. keeps the city from present

to Van Rensselaer, island to the Hud-
son, three miles south of Albany, from
where he was TO make the start. Walt
ing at the river bank was a special New
York Central train for Mrs. Curtiss and
her party, who had not accompanied the
aviator to the island. From the train
they could not see the actual start, but
those on the island witnessed a remarka-
BILE scene. Curtiss arose from the ground
like a rocket. There was no preliminary
maneuvering, there was no trial flight.
The aeroplane ran hurriedly over the
surface of the island and headed straight
for its goal to the southwark, turning
only for a moment to the westward, so
that Curtiss might comply with the terms
OF the competition under which he was
flying. and technically across the Albany
city line.
Straight up scared the aeroplane into
the distance. When it reached a height
estimated at 800 feet, 1t seemed for a
moment to hold a level pace. and then
to rise again to further levels. Perhaps
200 feet would be a conservative esti-
mate. Certainly Curtiss was flying at a
height which he had never attempted be-
fore in his life. In three minutes he
was a minute speck in the distance. In
seven minutes he vanished from sight.
The whole performance was over in a
twinkling.
When the racer was wheeled from be-
meath her canvas coverings shortly be-
fore O'Clock the sky was perfectly clear
and what little wind was stirring blew

Curtiss-at a speed of perhaps four miles

Mr.. Wright told me at the time the
ten-miIe flight from Fort Meyer was
made that the chief difficulty was in

I am glad he has. HIS flight will live
long in our memories as having been the
greatest.

After Curtiss had been presented with
his $4,000 check. Mrs. CurtIss said:
There are many, many places where
the money will come in handy. and we
don't Know what we are going to do with
all Of 1t yet. We may go abroad little
later on We haven't any plans. really,

Among the nrst to congratulate Cur
tiss, after his landing at Governors Is
land was Charles n Hamilton, the
young aviator, who arrived here Sat
urday from Jacksonville. Fla. hoping
to compete with Curt in the fight

er portion of the day in concluding his
argument. He was most bitter in his
denunciation of former Secretary Gar
field and former Chief Forester Pinchot,
who, he said, conspired to accomplish
the removal of Mr.. Ballinger from pub
lie life because his was an administra-
ton of law and not of men,
He said Pinchot had been credited with
a 'loftiness of purpose that he does not
deserve" and insinuated that he would
"scruple at nothing to carry out his pur-
poses and plans"
He referred to the 9s missing letters
found in CLAWS box at Seattle as evil
dence of the tactics pursued by Balm
gers enemies asserting that they intend
ed to charge Ballinger with concealing
them IL they were called for and not
produce them.
Mr. Vertrees said that the stir which
had been raised over the Lawler memo
randum was merely an indirect attack
upon the president and that the presiden.
had fully and frankly explained the cir
cumstances under which that document
was prepared.
A BASELESs CHARGE
In beginning his reply Mr.. Pepper de-
that Garfeld's opposition to Ballinger
had been inspired by any feeling of dis
appointment at not having been retain
ed in the Taft cabinet. He said if that
had been so, Mr.. Garfeld's antagonism
would not have been directed toward Bal
linger.
Saying he suspected Mr.. Vertrees Of
he 10
picted Pinchot and his friends of stand
ing between private interests and 1.-THE

gle get it, Mr.. Pepper added:

"Mr Pinchot has been spoken of as n

ment of his that cannot stand the test

west" said vertrees. He has his viz
tues and his faults. He built a railroad
in Alaska without shy stock or bond
issue and with his own money and that
seems to be a good thing to me.
Mr.. Vertrees declared that Special
Agent Jones and others who took aff1da-
Wits of coal claimants made record only
of such statements as they believed to
be damaging to the persons making the
claims.
CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS.
OF the clear listing of the Cunningham
claims, Mr. Vertrees said:
my point is that if the records did
not sustain Schwartzs Interpretation Of
them; IL he said to Mr.. Ballinger that
they were correct and that the claims
ought to be clear listed, nothing short
of malice could impute wrongdoing to
Mr.. Ballinger in clear listing them"
The attorney asserted the records did
sustain Schwartzs Interpretation.
READS FROM TESTIMONY
Vertrees read from the testimony of
George Otis Smith, director of the GeU-
logical survey, regarding a conversation
with Pinchot. Smith testified that Pin
chot wanted him to recommend to Gar
field that approximately all of an appro-
priation of $4,000 made by congress for
surveys in the national forests. should
be spent on the compilation of maps for
the national forests. When Smith re-
fused, according to Mr.. Vertrees, Pinchot
said he (smith) ought not to stand on a
strict Interpretation of the law, that IL
had been done under a former admins
tration.
Smith still refused and Pinchot then
threatened to SHOW up the bureau to
the reporters"
'NEvER coNTRADICTED."
Vertrees said this evidence was uncon-
tradicted by Pinchot or any of his asso-
ciates.
"Pinchot. in order to carry out his pur-
poses, is not only content to threaten
q public official about something done by
his bureau but something about which
he conceived that official had nothing to
do. Can you conceive Of a bludgeonins
more unprincipled to which a man could
resort; a man who would do that would
do anything. He would scruple at moth
ing to carry out his purposes and plans"
declared the attorney. He said Pinchots
actions in this case clearly indicated
that he acted on the principle and justl-
fed the means.
In concluding, Mr.. Vertrees said when
he came into the case he was a strang-
er to Mr. Ballinger. but II know the re-
port must be in accordance with the evil
dence and the facts in this case, which
shows his official career to be without
spot or stain"
Amid applause Mr.. Vertrees took his
seat and gave careful attention to the
reply to his arguments made by Mr.. Pep
per.
This is a question of privilege, wheth-
er political or financial. and it is absU-
lutely connected with that same idea that
pertains to Guggenheim, Morgan and
other resourceful men of the country"
The hearing room was crowded and at
each conclusion of the speakers demon
stration followed. Women in the room
crowded around the attorneys and COR
graduated them.

the news of Curtiss' flight in a brief
cablegram from the modest aviator. II
was one Of a number OF messages sent
by Curtiss to friends on both sides Of

Clifford Harmon, the New York anna

II am intensely interested in what Mr..
Curtiss has done. 1t seems that the
wonders OF aviation will never cease. I
would hesitate to say that the perform
ance of Mr.. Curtiss is an epoch, because
tomorrow we may hear that some man
