IN RAIN AVIATOR
MAKES FLIGHTS
Charles K. Hamilton Circles Gov
ernors Island in Prepara-
ton for Long Trip
Associated Press1

NEW YORK, June 12.-Such a little
thing as broken guy wire could not
keep. Charles K. Hamilton on the
ground today. In the pouring rain he
left the ground at 612 this evening and
for ten minutes and three seconds cir
cled the lower end of Governors island
and lowered over the harbor.
In making his preliminary run over
the sandy surface of the island, Hamil-
ton bumped a surveyors stake and
smashed a guy wire. He knew 1t
himself, but nobody else did until af-
ter he alighted after a beautiful flight.
1t rained hard all day, but despite the
faint prospects of decent weather for
a flight, a good sized crowd bore wit
ness to their faith in Hamilton's daring.
Shortly before 6 o'clock the weather
moderated. There was almost no wind
and heavy, moisture-laden atmosphere
was Just right for aviation. So Ham
ilton wheeled out his machine, warmed
up the engine and was off in few
minutes.
Seven times he circled the island at
a height of about 200 feet and then
came down with the swoop of fall
con.
Hamilton confidently expects to start
tomorrow morning at Z o'clock on his
flight to Philadelphia and return for
the New York Times and the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger prize. A special
train will accompany him. The wealth
er prediction for tomorrow in the ter
ritory Hamilton will traverse is fair to
cloudy, with rising wind.

Governor Haskell and Officials
Switch State Headquarters
in TWenty-four Hours
MAKE CAPITOL OF A HOTEL
Defy Injunction Secured by Peo-
pie of Guthrie and Desert
That City
MAKE CAPITOL OF A HOTEL
[Associated Press |

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, June 12.-
Reaching here on a special train from
Tulsa at daylight today Governor Has
kell and his secretary opened head
quarters in hotel. Rumors throughout
the day that the governor contemplated
making Oklahoma City the permanent
seat of government instead of Guthrie,
as the bill which carried in yesterday 8
election contemplated, were confirmed
tonight when Governor Haskell issued
a statement declaring his force would
remain here.
A local committee secured temporary
quarters for all the state officers and
the removal of all the offices probably
will be made tomorrow in the face of
an injunction to the contrary granted
in Guthrie yesterday by Judge Huston.
1t is expected Governor Haskell will
issue a proclamation Monday declar-
ing the bill carried and Oklahoma City
the permanent seat of state govern
ment. The proclamation Is based on
legal opinion rendered him today,
in which it is held that since a law ini-
tiated by the people becomes auto
matically effective upon its passage
Oklahoma City is the permanent seat
of government and all official acts of
state officers in any other place would
be illegal.
Secretary William Linn Of the state
election board will open headquarters
here Monday. His board will declare
the election result officially Tuesday
or Wednesday. Several other state
officers are here, including Secretary
of State "Bill" Cross.
Today's late returns from over the
state indicate that the majority for
the capital location bill is between 30,-
900 and $4,000. Oklahoma City's plu-
rality over Guthrie and Shawnee is
probably $4,000.

SMILE PUZZLED
PEMBROKE CANON
Mrs. LongWorth's Mirth Fails to
Escape the Eye of the
Camera

LONDON, England, June 12.-The
Rev. Canon Mason of Pembroke COL
lege, which conferred a degree on
Theodore Roosevelt shortly before he
sailed for the United States, has many
times wondered why, while a group
picture was being taken of Mr.. Roose-
welt, his family and himself on the
college grounds, Mrs. Alice Longworth
was seized with a sudden fit of laugh
ter which she tried in vain to sup
press and which she did not have the
opportunity to explain.
AS the occasion was one of prosalc
formality, the Rev. Mr.. Mason has
been at loss to account for the sud
den outburst of merriment. He later
learned the cause of it from a friend
whom Mrs. Longworth confided that
the seriousness with which the British
undertook everything forced her to
laugh despite herself
While Col. Roosevelt regards the col
-lege degree as an honor only second
to his election to the presidency OF the
United States, Mrs. Longworth has
considered MANY of the formalities of
her fathers reception in England as a
joke, and it appears that the many
formalities of the day at Pembroke
finally eliminated in the smile which
is shown in the photograph

YOUTH 'YANKED MILE IN
AIR ON BALLOON ROPE

LINCOLN, Neb., June 12.-Clyde
Heckle, an 1S-year-old Lincoln boy,
made a terrifying 5000 foot balloon as
cension this afternoon, clinging for a
part of the time to the clutch rope of
the air craft. He landed half an hour
from the start in the middle of shall
low lake at a summer resort near the
city.
AdoIph Weiburg, an aeronaut, who
makes parachute jumps at the resort,
had made preparations for his regular
trip and young Heckle with others was
holding the ropes. The boy had asked
to be allowed to make the ascent, but
was refused. Just as the aeronaut
called to his assistants to let go, Heckle
with a knife severed the two ropes
holding the parachute, and as the air
bag leaped upward he grasped the
clutch rope of the balloon. Weiberg,
with his parachute, was left on the
ground.
For possibly 1000 feet Heckle went
upward almost like a rocket, clinging
only with his hands. Then he managed
to swing himself astride the clutch
rope and after an ascent of over a mile,
came down without mishap.

SAN BERNARDINO, June 12.-This

midnight before the last pair was

was in the very atmosphere and some
of the couples made no denial that
they were real clippers.
Not a great while before midnight,
and after several couples had passed
through the legal red tape at the court
house, the sensation of the night came
when Harold Dameron Hail and Anita
Fern George of Pomona applied for
license. They arrived in an automo-
bile. Miss George for several years
was one of the most popular girls of
Pomona valley and well known here.
Her haste, however, was such that she
did not stop to invite any of her local
friends to the wedding, which occurred
at the Episcopal rectory.

cause of the wedding at such a late
hour he said 81 had to steal her, that's

Hail had to confess to the clerk
when he secured the license that he
had no occupation. The prospective
bride wanted to know if there wasn't
some way that the records could show
that he planned to go into business
right away.

Prompt action on the part of Charles

ascension in a Curtiss biplane here to-
