Lovett Expresses Confidence Railroad
VIII Win.

Washington, Jan. Gilt was stated
authoritatively today that the govern
ment suit for the dissolution of the
merger of the Union Pacific and South.
ern Pacific railways would not be
dropped. Attorney General Wickersham

tween the attorney-general and Frank
B. Kellogg on the one side, and Judge
Lovett, president of the Union Pacific,
and counsel representing the allied
Hartman lines on the other, for the
formal presentation of reasons why

elusion, and are willing that 1t should
be compromised.

The masters Of the newest air craft

that one man had been near death in

or three laps of the course, Curtiss
started ON ten-lap speed trial, half

mile behind Paulhan. Instantly It wal
seen that great race was on--the
first real race OF the ten days.
The two airships, full power on,
came over the grahdstand with the
speed Of express traiEs- Curtiss, II

finally by half lap. 1t was no race

AS Curtiss rushed over Paulhan he
received the greatest applause that any
OF his Efforts have evoked. Paulhan
went on until he had travelled GA
miles and had been In the air nearly
an hour and half Curtiss came
down after a 30-mile trip.
This race gives the whole story Of
the meet. The Curtiss machines have
won all the prizes for speed, quick
starts, perfect landings, and those
events where light, swift machine
showed best.
Paulhan has won all the cross-coun-
try, passenger-carrying and endurance
tests, having a heavier, slower machine
and an engine which he trusts com.
pletely. Paulhan has taken more than
$4,000 in prizes, and has broken the
worlds records for altitude and for
cross-country flights, alone and with q
passenger.

MAKES ANorHE1 RECORD.
Paullan Flics 2s Miles and Returns
Safely to Starting Point.


Aviation Field, Los Angeles, Jan. 10.
Louis Paulhan, in his Farman BIZ
plane, made today what aviation ez
perts here consider the most remarka-
BILE cross-country flight in ulstory.
On the wings of a wind that the
other aviators hesitated to face, the
little Frenchman rode from Aviation
Geld to "Lucky" Baldwin's ranch, 20
miles away, circled the old Santa Ar1ss.S$
racetrack and bucked his way back TO
his tent.
In all he covered an estimated dis.
lance of 47h miles in one hour, 2 min
utes, AZ 2-5 seconds. He went down
with the wind in 30 minutes and came
back against it in SO minutes, leaving
of the odd seconds.
The country over which he travelled
was the valley lands of the San Gabriel
river and the plateau leading to the
ocean. He could have landed at almost
any place, but he did not. When he
climbed out of his car he said his motor
was as cool as when he started and
that he could do the trip over again at
once.
In sheer beauty and contempt of
danger the fight rivals that seen on
any Of the aviation felds of the old
world. The only test approaching it
in this country was that made by Will
bur Wright last fall, flying with an
army officer from Washington to Alex
andria and return, distance of ten
miles.
Bleriot, Latham, Farman and Cody
have made flights nearly as long, per
haps, but they have not come back.
Cody flew 40 miles at Aldershot in so
minutes last fall. Farman took a 20
mile run to spend day shooting with
friend, but he landed at one end of
his journey.
Cortlandt F. Bishop, president of the
Aero club Of America, said tonight that
he did not know of any flight equal to
Paulhan's. 1t is probable that the
prize Of 10000 will go to the French
man.
There will be good deal of official
bordering and cabling, however, before
new. world record is added to the
glory that already belongs to France.
Paulhan maintained an altitude of
from 1000 to 1000 feet on his way over
the valley. His highest point was 2130
feet, as indicated by the instrument in
his car. Under him, speeding over the
country roads, scattering chickens and
domestic animals, were motors trying
to keep in touch with him in case he
should fall or have to descend. Nine.
Paulhan followed in an automobile,
praying and crying.
When Paulhan reached the grand
stand, on his return, he was mobbed.
The crowd broke through the barriers.
The spell under which they had sat for
an hour, straining to see the speck in
the sky, broke in an ecstasy. The avi-
ator was lifted up and borne over the
field as football hero would be
treated, after championship game.
His own countrymen kissed him and
wept in joy.
