ALTITUDE RECORD TO DREXEl
Aviator Goes Up 7,1o5 feet Over Bel
mont Park.

New Yorkshire third day of the
international aviation meet at Bel
mont Park made up for all the damp,
cold disappointments of the first two
days. A new American record for alti-
tude was set down to the credit of d.
Armstrong DreXel, and the cOmpeti-
ton in the other events was at all
times a thing of delight, full of zest,
action and beauty.
The air fairly hummed with the buzz
of the dipping, dancing craft, and their
incessant e%volutions were so swift and
so intricate that the spectators could
not follow them.
Drexel scared for altitude in his rec
ord flight at just $40 pm, five min
utes before the second hourly altitude
contest closed. In great, lazy circles
he crept into the wind, pointing high
er and higher into the glare of the set
ting sun, to a height of 7,105 feet. Be-
meath him three busy biplanes were
scattering about the track like so
many sparrows in a panic, racing for
places in the grand speed event.

CR|PPEN A MURDERER
IN 80 MINUTES ENGLISH JURY DIS
POSES OF AMERICAN.
Chief Justice Advises Crippen to Pre-
pare for Death and Abandon
Hope Of Pardon.

London.-Dr. Hawley Harvey Grip
pen, an American physician, after a
trial extending over five days, and thir-
ty minutes d~eliberation by jury, was
Saturday found guilty of the murder
of his wife, an American woman,
known on the stage as Belle Elmore.
The jury was out just thirty min
utes. When it returned and an
nounced hat it had found the defend
ant guilty, Lord Chief Justice Alver-
stone asked the physician if he had
anything to say. Crippen replied In
a low voice, Il still protest my inno-
cence."
The chief justice then donned the
black cap that has rested near him
throughout the trial, and pronounced
the sentence of death.
Addressing the condemned man, he
said:
"You have been convicted on evil
dence which can leave no doubt in the
cruelty murdered your wife and then
mutilated her body.
II advise you to entertain no hope
that you will escape the consequences
Of your crime. l implore you to make
your peace with Almighty God"
Crippen received the death sentence
with the apparent calmness that char
acterized him throughout the trial and
which, in fact, has been noticeable
from the moment of his arrest.
He appeared rather nervous during
the judges summing up which was
strongly against him. AS Lord Alver-
stone mercilessly portrayed his char
acter as developed during the trial,
Crippen twirled his thumbs, crossed
and recrossed his legs and occasion
ally shuffied his feet.

SENATOR HILL NO MORE
WAS SEIZED WITH BILIOUS AT
TACK TWO WEEKS AGO.
Governor of New York, Occupied Seal
in Senate and Was Mentioned
for President.

Albany, N. Y.-Senator David Ben.
net Hill died at 3:15 o'clock Saturday
morning. He had been i'll nearly
three weeks with a cold and bilious
attack, but his condition had not been
considered serious. He was sitting
up in bed to take a drink Of water
when he was seized with an acute
dilation of the heart. Death quickly
his bedside.
Mr.. Hill had long been a sufferer
from Bright's disease, which primarily
brought upon him the condition that
ended his life.
Although he retired from active par
ticipation in politics following the
presidential election Of 1904, Senator
Hill was deeply interested in the prog
ress of the present campaign. AS late
as last Friday he discussed the situa'
ton with Judge Parker, who was then
preparing to make a tour of the state
in the interests of the Democratic
ticket.
Gov. White issued a proclamation
requesting that flags on all OF the pub.
lie buildings of the state be displayed
at half mast until shutdown of the
day of Senator Hills funeral, and that
the citizens of the state unite in ap'
prOpriate marks of respect to his
memory.
1T is with sincere sorrow that ]
announce the death of Senator David
Bennett Hill, former governor of the
state of New York." said Governor
White. His death marks the end OF
a remarkable career. For more than
thirty years David Bennett Hill was
a prominent figure in the public life
of the state. The force of his per-
sonality impressed itself not only upon
the people of New York, but upon the
whole country, and at the expiration
of his final term as governor he be-
came the candidate of his party in the
! state of New York for the presiden.
tial nomination before the Democratic
national convention.
GAS United States senator from
1891 to 1897 he found an ample op'
