AEROPLANB USED
TO CARRY FREIGHT
Wright Machine Flies from
Dayton to Columbus.

Columbus. Ohio. Nov. Use Of the
aeroplane for freight carrying was first
made to-day when Philip O, Parmalee. in
Wright biplane. made a record fight
from Dayton TO Columbus. Parmalee's 5
cargo was two heavy bolts OF silk, weigh
Ing 200 pounds. which he delivered from
the Eller-Johnston store in Dayton 10 the
Moorehouse-Martens store in Columbus.
Covering the distance OF approximately
seventy miles in one hour and six min
utes. he is believed to have established
a new cross-country flight record, an
average time Of more than mile a min
ute having been made
Parmalee started from the Wright
brothers aviation field, three miles north
of Dayton. at lO:45 o'clock this morning.
He alighted at the Columbus Driving
Park, just east Of tho city. at Isl O'Clock.
Thousands or people were there to greet
him. this being the first aeroplane TO en-
ter the city.
such was the aviator's height as he
approached the city that his machine,
like a great buzzard. could be seen by
people in nearly every part Of Columbus.
Nearing the driving park. he descended
gently on the field, then maneuvering in
a great half circle. he glided quickly
downward till within few feet OF the
Garth, when suddenly he shot his machine
gracefully parallel with the ground for
a distance Of fifty feet Then ne dropped
gently TO earth. gliding about forty feet
before storping- A great cheer broke
from tae watching throng when the
machine stopped and Parmalee jumped 10
the ground.
Gee whiz. Ny hands got cold: feet
too was the young aviators first ex-
clamation, as people rushed about him.
7 came straight as a crow" he said.
Never changed my course once. I guess
il was a record. too"
The two big bundles of silk strapped
to either side OF his seat ParmaIee IN
and delivered personally 10 Max

Such was the aviators speed on the
trip that he left far behind a Big -Four
train upon which were several news
paper men. A good south wind mate
rally aided in making the remarkable
time.
This afternoon. before an immense
crowd at the driving park. Parmalee gave

Latham used hts 50-horsepower Antoi-

About 100 men hurried 20 the scene and
found Hoxsey picking himself up and
brushing the mud from his face and eyes.
He said he had suffered no injury. and

about his machine.
An examination showed that one Of the
planes was twisted and that two sklds
and the foot rest were smashed.
About the only other features were the
attempts TO establish duration and alti-
tude records. Latham tried for the du-
ration prize at the track. and counting
his city flight. he was up about two

propriated her with the consent OF the
Secretary.
Anna arrived to-day in the steerage OF
the North German Lloyd liner Prinz
Friedrich Wilhelm, communicating occa-
sionally with her mistress in the cabin.
All the other steerage passengers knew
that Anna was aboard. and they were
inclined to lionize her. She took il as if
she were entitled 10 it. Being an immi-
grant she had to go through the portal
for aliens at Ellis Island; but she did not
mind that, as she was put at the head of
the line and passed swiftly.
The Secretary of War sent his aid TO
the island to help expedite the entrance
of Anna. She surprised him by saying
that she did not want TO go Immediately
to Washington. but wished 10 visit an
aunt here for day. Mrs. Dickinson was
reached by telephone and said yes, in
deed. Anna could visit her aunt Then
Anna, looking mighty proud. boarded the
boat for the barge Office and went to her
aunt's.
