A VOYAGE OF $50 MILES
Hamilton is Anxious for This Trip to
be Made and Believes That
1t Can be
Done.

CHICAGO, May 31-From New
York to Chicago by aeroplane for a
prize of not less than $4,000 will be
the next big event in aviation unless
all signs fail.
Charles K Hamilton, the we'll
known aviator, has already guaran-
teed $4,000 for the purse, and several
Chicagoans who are interested in the
art of flying have expressed their will
ingness to do their share toward
bringing off this proposed greatest
test of the efficiency of mechanism
and man in going long distances
through the air at express train speed
in heavier-than-air machine.
Mr.. Hamilton's offer was stimulated
by the recent fight of Glenn H. Cutiss.
in which Cutiss covered the distance
of 1877 miles from Albany to New
York at rate of 54.06 miles an hour
Hamilton arrived in New York on Fri
! day from Florida with the intention
of competing for the prize which has
4 just fallen to Cutiss. He predicts chat
within the next sixty days feats will
be performed in this country beside
which Cutiss' fight will look very sim
! pie. He charactterizes the $4,000
won by Cutiss as easy money"
After making his proposal for {
fight from New York to Chicago, ant

Gus size for really difficult flight

miles, and 1 would limit the time t.

WASHINGTON, May 31-President
Taft was reported this afternoon 10
have instructed the attorney general
to bring suit against % western rail
roads to restrain them from putting
into effect increased freight rates to-
morrow. 1t is expected that the ac-
ton would be started by Assistant At
torney General Kenyon in Chicago
this afternoon in response to TIE COM
plants and demands of the committee
of western hsippers who presented
their case to the government yester
day
Attorney General Wickersham laid
these complaints before the president
today, explaining the charges made by
the shippers who allege that the gen
eral increases were the result of
conspiracy of railroad presidents.
Throughout the campaign for railroad
legislation, the president has stead
fastly upheld the right of the roads
to make tariff agreements. The ship
pers hold that the increase to take
place tomorrow is a sample OF wha1
legalized railroad traffic would pro
duce.

Warnings were Sent Out by the Papal
Secretary of State Few
Days Before the Bomb
Explosion.
A FRESH PLOT HATCHED
New Conspiracy is on Foot in Eutons
by Society Pledged to Estab-
lish Great Pan-Latin
Republic.

FLORENCE, Italy, May S1.-Ac-
cording to the Perseverance,, Cardinal
Merry Del Val, the papal secretary Of
state, sent warning letters TO tie king
of Spain and to King Manuel of Por-
tugal a few days before the anarchist
Jscozelli was killed in Madrid by the
bomb which he intended for King Al
fonso. The letters gave them informa-
tion of plot that had been organized
by an international anarchist society,
with headquarters in Paris. This So
ciety had pledged itself, the letters
stated, to establish great Pan-Latin
republic.
The letters from the vatican warn
ed the two sovereigns that tire society
decided recently to resume active hes
tilities and called attention to the fact
that it was equally energetic immedi-
ately before the assassin alton OF King
Carlos of Portugal and the Crown
Prince Luiz. 1t has been remarkably
quiet since then, but the vatican says
4 it has good reason to believe that a
fresh conspiracy is on foot.
/ 1t is stated that the warning was
sent to the two sovereigns May 20, the
day of King Edwards funeral. when
4 the kings of Spain and Portugal parti-
! cipated in the parade. This allowed
time for precautionary measures to
be taken before the return OF King
Alfonso to Spain. After the prema-
ture explosion OF the Madrid bomb,
j the police Of Paris. where King Man
uel stopped on his way home, took ex-
ira precautions to protect him from
possible attack by assassins.

RooseveIt's Speech Today in London
will Undoubtedly Stir Up
Some Trouble in
England.
TALKED ABOUT EGYPT
Criticism of the Administration Of the
Land of the Pharoes
by John
Bull.

LONDON, May 31.-EngIand today
felt the swish of the big stick in
famous Guild hall, the picturesque
headquarters of London's civic author
ity. Colonel Roosevelt assailed Eng
lands administration in Egypt and de-
clared that England should rule with
a stronger hand or get out of that
country.
If you feel that you ought not to be
in Egypt and have no desire to keep
order there, by all means get out. If
you feel that it is your duty to civiIi-
cation to stay, show yourself equal to
the responsibility of the position
This was his closing remark ana its
very boldness startled the audience.
The propriety of Roosevelt's utter
ances was freely questioned. The
speech will undoubtedly stir up big
row. The colonels views coincide
with the government opposition, but
it is possible that even the opposition
will object to such caustic criticism
coming from an outsider. The audi
ence was more or less perplexed by
the unexpected situation that the
speech developed Roosevelt never
spoke with more telling emphasis and
he gave London a striking example of
his striking style of oratory. The
! speech is bound to rouse the nation
