Cut Excess Rate!
On Scent Lines.
Railway Commission Issues Order TO
Become Effective Aug. /.

Lansing, Mich, July 1.-THE state
railway commission issued an order to-
day to become effective Aug. !, COM
pelling all railroads charging three
cent passenger rate to charge the same
excess baggage rate as the two-cent
roads. Upwards of rs roads, including
the small lines in the northern part OF
the state, are affected by the order.
On Jan. Is, 1909, new schedule was
put in effect figuring the excess rate
on the passenger rate basis, but this
prevented passengers using roads charg-
ing different rates from checking their
baggage through. The railroads finally
protested the rate in the courts, but re-
ceived an adverse decision from the
supreme court.
The excess rate now in effect is fig
ured on mileage basis. A passenger
is allowed $50 pounds free. The mini
mum charge for excess is Is cents.
Eight cents per 100 pounds is charged
for the first 10 miles. An increase Of
two cents per 100 pounds is charged
after the first 10 miles travelled up to
so miles. Beyond that to 300 miles the
rate is three cents per 100.
The commission has also ordered
that all railroads in Michigan, both up
per and lower peninsula, must check to
destination instead of to junction points,
as the roads have been doing lately.
This last order will obviate many delays
at junction points and the missing Of
trains by virture of inability to make
connections on account of the short
period of time given at junction points
to recheck the travellers baggage.
This last order will be decided con-
venience to the travelling salesman and
will cause the railroads no inconvenience
The latest addition to the excess bag
gage scale issued by the commission
reads as follows:

AVIATOR HAMILTON'S GREAT
AERIAL TRIP.

Charles X. Hamilton, the little red
haired man, with nerves of steel and a
genius for aviation, has accomplished
something new in aeronautics. Hamil-
ton on Monday flew from New York
to Philadelphia and back again. max
ing the round trip of I72 miles in an
actual flying time of 2O9 minutes.
While Hamilton did not break Paul
hans record for uninterrupted flight.
that record being III miles, from Lon
don to Litchfeld, he did succeed in a
wonderful achievement. Had it not
been for the accident whereby he lost
his bearings and got into the swamps
and boys of South Amboy, while at
the same time two cylinders of his
engine failed to work, he would doubt
less have broken Paulhan's record.
Nobody doubts that with good fortune
he will do so eventually. But leaving
this matter out OF consideration,
Hamilton's performance will 90 down
In the history of the development of
, aviation as striking. For one thing
he fulfilled his contract to make a
round Fip from New York to Phila-
delphia within twenty-four hours
Moreover, he sailed over an uncharted
region for sirships. He had no land
buoys to guide him, and had to guess
at his route, which he was able 10
divine with an instinct strangely I'M
eVrlng, with the one exception of his
mistaking a green patch OF New Jer-
Sey for Staten Island. This feature
Of his aerial exploit led Glenn H. Cur
tlss to say he considered Hamilton's
sehievEpent the greatest in the his
tory of aviation
Aside from any question of speed or
of breaking records there is one thing
about the flight of Hamilton that will
appeal to most of us as indicating the
nearer approach of the time when avia-
