HARMON IN FLIGHTS
Amateur Aviator Takes Up a
Passenger.
HEAT STOPS HIS TESTS
Will Try to Make Trip From Garden
City to Greenwich, Conn.,,
Tomorrow.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Clifford B. Har-
mon made two flights yesterday over the
new aviation field at Garden City in the
presence Of $4,000 spectators. the major
ity or whom had gone to the course in
autos. The two ascents came after a
long wait in the sitting heat. Mr.. Har-
mon went up alone the first time. AL
though the thermometer was near the
0O-degree mark. Mr.. Harmon donned his
heavy leather jacket before making his
ascents. After having Travelled the air
lanes for eleven minutes and forty sec
onds. when he twice made dips Of the
kind made famous by Charles K. HamiI-
ton, the amateur aviator, was compelled
to descend because of the unbearable
heat.
On the second trip, on which he took
Armand Malard, his chief mechanic, as a
passenger, Mr.. Harmon stayed up for
three minutes and ten seconds. Again
he was forced to come to earth because
OF the high temperature. The humidity,
which. on the ground. was enervating
to the last degree. was at 200 or 300
feet above the ground, raw and chilly.
Despite the operators leather coat it
made navigation most uncomfortable.
Calls for Volunteers.
Before taking Malard aloft Mr.. Har-
mon called for volunteers among the
many friends of Mrs. Harmon present.
but none cared to go up. chiefly be-
cause Of the many onlookers
About an hour before Mr.. Harmon
took the field. William Watson tried a
flight in a new biplane constructed for
him by Drummer. The machine reSem-
bled closely the Curtiss type of aero
plane in appearance. Mr. Watson had
the biplane hauled to the east end of
the field and then mounted the seat
After testing his four-cylinder engine,
he gave the signal to let go. Imme-
diately the aeroplane left the ground at
q very acute angle. rose to an altitude
Of sixty feet. and then plunged to the
earth. nose downward: Mr.. Watson
was thrown clear of the whirring pro-
peller and the engine. But his machine
was completely wrecked.
For an hour following Mr.. Watson
mishap the spectators waited for Har-
mon. When he came to the course he
ordered his aeroplane to the west edge
Of the field. and without any prelimi-
naries gave the signal to cast off. After
a run Of seventy-five yards the aero.
plane poked its nose heavenward. and
the first real flight of the day had
begun.
Circling the field at an altitude OF 200
feet, Mr.. Harmon came up the north
side and then. as he started on his third
turn made his first dip. Quickly the de-
Hector was pointed earthward. and the
machine answered 1t Immediately, start
ing to drop with lightning rapidity From
q height of $50 feet Mr.. Harmon dropped
to within twelve feet of the earth and
then. Strengthening out his elevating
plane and again gradually increasing its
angle. mounted to an altitude of 800 feet.

THE PALAIS ROYALS NEW HALF YEAR
Read.

The new half year is looked
forward to with greatest con-
fdence. The depression of two
wears since was the outcome of
flying too high. We have been
brought to earth and much
benefited.
The new half year of 1910,
four days old today, finds us on
solid ground, in good condi-
ton and alert.
Condition is shown in the
savings banks of Washington,
significant of the people, the
backbone of the country. The
books of these banks show that,
more than ever before, are
people saving money, and in
amounts greater than ever be-
fore.
Alertness is evident in the
growls we hear-against the
high cost of living. suffocating
street cars, etc. The powers
that be know the intonation Of
growls. They fear those they
now hear, and we can conf
IDENTIFY be assured that matters
will now be quickly righted.
The late Stock Taking" at
the Palais Royal has demon
strated that the one store max
ing speciality of cash bust
ness is keeping abreast of the
savings banks-a dual sign of
the alertness of the people and
general stability.

OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER
Trustee Bill Advanced a Little, County
Option Law Introduced. Governor

This is getting monotonous- AS Mr.
Elliott Of Hartford said Friday, the
papers OF the state have been very
lenient with the legislature thus far
and he doubted if their patience would
endure much longer. Friday fore
noon Mr.. Webs ter moved that when
the house adjourned that afternoon it
be until Monday evening. That com
menced the argument and when the
vote was taken it was found that
even that early there were more than
one hundred members absent. Mr.. Cal
derwood of St. Johnsbury tried to com
promise the matter and adjourn from
Saturday noon to Monday evening, but
the house would not hear to it at all
and voted for the long adjournment by
a vote Of 80 to 40. When adjournment
was had Friday but 100 of the 245
members were present. There is
some talk of adjourning over Thanks
giving week without pay and it has
been expected that this would prevail
but now there is a we'll defined plan
to work until Wednesday noon before
Thanksgiving and then adjourn until
the following Monday with pay. IF

It wilNbe a bold man indeed who
! will take tbe floor Of the house and
urge that the members come back
/ here Tuesday and Wednesday Of
/ Thanksgiving week for the sake of
drawing pay for that week.
Signs Of friction between the two
/ houses developed early in the week
but now seem to have been patched
up to the satisfaction Of everyone.
| The house had passed a trustee bill
which cOnformed to the state platform
Of both parties and the senate had
passed one which the senate thought
complied with the spirit if not the
letter Of the party platforms. The
bills crossed in transit between the
two houses and the senate killed the
house bill and the house killed the
senate bill, which left both bills out
in the cold with no chance for com
promise in the hands of a conference
committee. The house was first tc
see their mistake and they reconsid,
cred their. vote killing the senate
bill and then amended the bill by
striking out all after the enacting
Z. clause and inserting the words of the
house bill. The senate has also re
considered its vote killing the house
bill and may yet pass the house bill ir
concurrence. It is thought that the
governor has used the influence of his
office to assist in carrying out the
party pledges and as a result Thereof
the senate seem to be in a more re
ceptive mood, and it looks now a!
