recorded for the full distance of 62.14
miles around five kilometer course,
Claude Grahame-White, flying for the
Royal Aero club of the United King
dom. Saturday won the Gordon-Ben-
nett international speed cup from his
American and French competitors.
His average speed was fraction
better than 81 miles an hour and his
fastest lap was 2:55:77. but Alfred LIE
Blanc, In q similar machine, 100
horsepower Bleriot monoplane, was
making each lap on an average of 20
seconds faster than Grahame White
and would have won the cup if he had
not met with disastrous accident in
his last lap. when he had the race
seeW!ngly well in hand.
LIE Blanc was running with the wind
under full power at an estimated
speed of so miles an hour when the
feed pipe from his gasoline tank to
his motor loosened under the inces-
SAINT Earring of the engine and he sud.
denly found himself with nothing but
momentum to carry him. When a
puff of wind caught him he drifted
sideways, still driving at tremendous
speed, and crashed head foremost in
to telegraph pole.
The pole was IA inches thick, but
he broke it IL three pieces as If It
had been toothpick.
In addition to LIE Blanc's accident,
the program was marred by a serious
mishap to Walter Brookins of the
Wright team, who had taken up the
new baby" Wright racer for the first
time.
Brookins was Just coming around
the turn into the homestretch for a
trial circle preparatory to entering
into the Gordon Bennett race when
four of his eight cylinders ceased
firing.
Driven by the wind and his engine,
he came hurting through the air at
such tremendous speed that when he
touched the earth his front wheels
and forward frame collapsed and he
was buried under it's debris. Neither
OF the men were badly hurt.
John B. Moisant, the American who
few from Paris to London. was the
victor in a most perilous and spec
tacular race.

RAILROAD HEADS ADMIT INTENT
TO ADD TO INCREASE.
Burlington Vice-President and Coun-
sci Qualify Statement With High
er Cost Argument.

Chicago.-The hope that a victory
IN their fight for increased freight
rates will give them an oppor-
tunity to make still further advances
is the reason given by the western
railroads for the tenacity displayed in
the battle they are waging before the
interstate commerce commission.
This was admitted by c. G. Burn
ham. vice-president of the Burlington
railroad, in charge of traffic, and by
Attorney Dawes, counsel of the road,
at the hearing.
The admission was qualified, how
ever, by statements that the increase
asked for in the present hearing
would only offset reductions that had
been made by the commission ia re-
cent cases and that the further ad-
vances would furnish the roads the
money declared necessary to meet
ever-mounting expenses and the cost
OF needed improvements and equip
ment.

|. c. LOSES TAX CASE
STATE OF ILLINOIS Is VICTOR
OVER RAILROAD UNDER DEcI-
SION BY HIGH COURT.
0vERRULES LINE DEMURRER
Case Goes to La Sale County Court
to Be Heard on Merits-Action
Based on Findings of Accountants
That Reports Had Been Changed.

Springfield, Ill--A decision of the
supreme court of Illinois was handed
down Friday in the tax case of the
state against the Illinois Central Rail-
road company.
The state won every important con-
tention with the exception that the
opinion holds the accounts prior to
1905 have been accepted by the state
and payment made thereon, and that
therefore they are not subject to fur.
tier inquiry.
But for the future settlements and
for the settlement of all accounts
since Governor Deneen came into of
flee, the court lays down hard and
fast rules for accounting by which
the state VIII reap a reward of s2,.
100000 year more In taxes than it
has been receiving from the Illinois
Central Railroad company.
When the Illinois Central rendered
Its first payment under Governor De-
mems administration he accepted the
money with the understanding the &C
counting upon which the money was
SCnSSASu was SuDJSCL 10 EcNlSlOu. i MS
act on the part of the governor, the
court holds, makes all transactions
with the road during his administra-
ton subject to further accounting.
The court remands the case to the
circuit court of La Sale county, with
! instructions to proceed In accordance
with the views in it's opinion. Unless
the railroad accepts the courts de-
cision as final. the circuit court OF
La Sale county will no doubt appoint
a master to go into all the details OF
the accounting since 1905, and the
case may be prolonged indefinitely.
At present the railroad is paying ap-
proximately s1.000,000 to the state
every year.
The suit against the Illinois Central
was filed early in December, 1907, by
the attorney general. following mes
sage from Governor Deneen to the
legislator. declaring that the road
had been so manipulating its accounts
as to credit millions of it's earnings
to the non-charter lines, not subject
to the tax Of 7 per cent. Later ae-
counting swelled the amount which
Governor Deneen declared the road
owed to the state from s5.00o,000 to
