not until they had given exhibitions
of high flying that promised better
success in fair weather.
Weymann in his biplane remained
in the air only eight minutes. He

The terms of the competition provide
that the flight be made before Sept.

To clear the pass the aviators must
maintain an altitude of some 1000
feet during the first half hour. The
distance is seventy-tive miles.
The two balloonists got away with
encouraging cries from an enormous
crowd that were disappointed by pre-
yious trials and had feared that bad
weather would compel another post

Chavez left the starting ground

over the granite shoulder that marks
the entrance to the Saline gorge. A
point saw the monoplane wheel and

on little grassy slope at the foot
of the sheer cliffs.
Weymann started few moments
after Chavez.
Chavez explained that he had

wind. He observed that the summit

heavy clouds and decided to return

that he might try again later in the

CANNOT AGREE ON A BILL
Wisconsin Commits on Not to Be Set
Back bv Failure of Illincisans
20 Agree.

Madison. There was considerable
disappointment on the part of the
members of the Wisconsin commits
sion for industrial insurance when it
was learned that the Illinois commits
sion has reported that it is unable to
agree on a system of insurance to be
put in the form of bill.
The failure of the Illinois commits
sion will not affect the bill to be
drawn in Wisconsin, but it had been
hoped that Illinois and Minnesota
would both pass laws similar to the
one proposed by the Wisconsin com
mission this winter in order that the
manufacturers who must accept a
certain amount of the burden of the
insurance may not be driven from this
state to neighboring ones.
Paul Walker, secretary of the com
mission. says it is believed that law
similar to the Wisconsin bill will be
passed in Minnesota at the coming
session. New York already has a
comprehensive system. Missouri and
Michigan are to have a commission
appointed and at work within year.
Massachusetts, Ohio and New Jersey
now have commissions at work
1t is likely that the scale of indem-
mites, based on the German system
and adopted by the Wisconsin COM
mission, will be made the basis in all
the states where industrial insurance
laws are passed.
The commissioners expect to see at
least six great manufacturing states
with industrial accident insurance
systems in operation within the com
inc wear. according to Mr.. Walker.
