Will be carried from his home to the

tend d meeting of the board this after
loon that VIII pass the pay-roll and
enable a small army of workmen to
get their money as usual.
Commissioner Budd has beer confined
to his home for some time and his con-
dition is such that it was simply out
of the question for him to go to the
City Hall, where the boards meetings
are usually held. As his presence is
necessary at the meeting to insure a
quorum there was much anxiety less
the necessary formalities of the meet
ing could not be complied with.
Mr.. Budd was aware of the situation,
and although very weak and hardly
able to leave his home he insisted that
some arrangement be made that would
enable the board to approve the pay
roll and thus insure the payment of the
departments employees.
1t was firally decided to hold the
meeting at the Eighth avenu stables,
which are just around the corner from
the commissioners home, and as soon
as the necessary vote Is taken Mr.,
Budd will be carried back to his room.

OIL KING, ANGRY,
TO ABANDON HIS
@s5O0,O00,000 PLAN
Rockefeller, According to Re.
port, Will Give Up Fight
for Federal Charter.

NEW YORK, April est was re-
ported here today that John ID. Rookie
teller, angered at the reception accord
ed to his plan to establish an enormous
philanthropic foundation, and weary of
tie delays imposed upon the national
incorporation OF the plan, will abandon
the bill introduced by Senator Gallinger.
Although no one could be found at 26
Broadway who would profess to know
anything about the report, it is said
in partial confirmation that Starr j..
Murphy, the oil kings attorney, has
let it be known during the past few
days that Mr.. Rockefeller is displcased
with the delay and lack of enthusiasm
which his $500, 900. COO proposition has
received.
In case Mr.. Rockefeller decides to
abandon the project for federal incor-
poration he may attempt to secure a
charter from some State, probably New
York, it was said. In this connection
it was. noted that a bill is now before
the State Legislature for tire incorpora-
ton of a. charitable foundation wnich
is said by it's hackers to have the sup
port of an unnamed New York mil
lionaire. who wishes to leave a iarse
share of his fortune to be administered
for charity through this medium.

was hurried on by the news that White
already was in the air and approach
ing Lichfield. Paulhan encountered a
sharp southwest wind, which, while
toward the end of his journey made
1t almost impossible for him to keep a
firm grasp on the levers, helped him
or his way.
An immense crowd was gathered at
the field where, the machine was
stored over night and along the roads
leading northward. and they gave the
Frenchman encouraging cheers, al
though their sympathies naturally were
with their fellow countryman. As he
flew gracefully over them the French
aviator made a wide circle to get his
bearings, and when he had determined
his course he mounted to a good
height, just missing a tall elm tree in
the ascent. Then he sailed directly for
Stafford, the aeroplane swaying peril
ously in the wind. Paulhan followed
the railway line all the way to Man
chester, usually at a height of 800 feet,
but ascending to 700 feet when passing
over the towns, and the people who
turned out to cheer saw but a speck in
the sky.
White was one Of the first to tele-
graph congratulations to his rival. His
message read: I take the earliest p
p~ortunity of offering you my heartiest
congratulations on your splendid per-
Torrance. The best man has won.
To sum up the great aerial race.
Paulhan left London at 5:22 o'clock last
evening and reached Manchester at $50
o'clock this morning. He descended
at Lichfeld at $40 o'clock last night,
and resumed the trip at 400 a. m.
White started from London at $50
o'clock last night and alighted at
Northampton at s p. m. He again
started at 2:50 o'clock this morning,
but was compelled to descend at Poles
worth, after her had covered a little
more than half of the 1S6 miles from
London to Manchester.
Paulhan did the 1S6 miles in 4 hours
and II minutes, actual flying time in
