MANILA WILL PROGRESS
RAPIDLY, AYRES STATES
Superintendent of Water Supply
in Luzon on improvements

''Within ten years time Manila Will
be one of the finest cities in the world.
Even now it is the port Of the east
and within the time mentioned, If it
grows as it has during the last ten
years, it will compare favorably with
any other city in the civilized world
of its size," said ]. H. Ayres, superin-
tendent of water supply and sewers OF
Manila yesterday. He is in Los Ange-
les on his way to the far east after
a vacation of several months with rel
atives in Vermont.
Mr.. Ayres will sail on the Mongolia
from San Francisco next Tuesday and
is anxious to get back, he says. He
has been in the Philippines in the gov
ernment service several years.
"Since 1 left Manila, a new $4,000, 600
water works has been completed" con-
tinued Mr. Ayres, land it is one of
which any city might be proud. 1t is
a great credit to Manila, when one
considers under what trying conditions
we have to work, that such a thor
oughly modern and up-to-date plant
should be built"

after this all trace of her was lost.
Various prophecies of the outcome
were made, but the main contention
was that the aeronauts had landed
week Gas in fact they did) and were
unable to make their way to civiliza-
ton.
Fears for Their Safety.
Those who took the gloomier view
were inclined to think as the days
passed that the. men had persisted
from cold and hunger. The outlook
was made darker by the suggestion of
drowning, a fate thought not unlikely
by the finding of balloon basket on
the shores of Lake Superior near Port
Arthur, Ont. But the basket was not
the Americas as was conclusively
shown in later developments.
The new record established by Haw-
ley and Post, unofficially estimated at
1850 miles, exceeds all previous
flights. Only this year Count Oden-
soft, of Russia, claimed to have flown
1924 miles in 40 hours, but the fig
ures were not officially verified. If
the estimated distances are made Of
fetal, the long-standing record of
Count de La Vaulx, of 1,193 miles.
made in 1900, in flight from France
to Siberia, has been broken by at
least three of the contestants in the
recent race-the America II, the Dus-
fetal figures will be required, however,
to definitely settle the question.
Samuel F. Perkins, aid in the Dus-
seldorf, which alighted approximately
ITO to 125 miles from the spot where
the America II descended, out of his
experience threw some light on the
hardships probably encountered by
Hawley and Post. He said: ''It took
us four days to make our way IT
miles through the thick underbrush
from where we landed to Kiskisink
and it probably would have taken US
IL days more had we not come upon
a guide who took US 10 miles of the
distance in the last half day. I be-
lieve the delay of Haw1ey and Post
was due to similar hardships Appar-
emily, however, they had a river to
make their way along. which light
ened the hardships or it would likely
have required many more days for
them to have got in touch with the
world"

HER THIRD COUNT.
Tacoma Is to Have Another Enmmera-
ton of Her Population

Washington, Oct. 27.-Complete re-
enumeration of the population of Ia
coma, Wash, was today ordered by
Secretary Nagel as a result of the pro-
tests made by the people of that city
who were given a hearing yesterday
and today.
The new count was ordered largely
because of the plea that in September
when the census bureau went over the
ground for itself a large portion of the
population of Tacoma was absent. 1t
was in this canvass that the bureau
discovered the alleged padding to the
extent of more than 10000 names. The
committee representing Tacoma today
made earnest representation on this
point and succeeded in convincing
both Secretary Nagel and Director
Durand of the truth of their state
ments.
In conceding the remuneration the
director does not withdraw his original
charge of padding but he has written
a letter in which he states that he con-
siders the new count as the most
equitable means of settling the diff
cuIties. He and the secretary agree
that it is undesirable from every point
of view to have the Tacoma people re-
main dissatisfied during the next ten
years. The new count will be under
the immediate direction of Chief Sta
tistician William G. Hunt and will he
begun at once. 1t will be a complete
house to house canvass and no effort
will be spared to insure its thorough
ness.

it and made an easy landing on the
mountain side at an elevation OF
about 1900 feet
This vas at S:45 p. m. It was
near nightfan and we knew that we
were a considerable distance from any
settlement, so we decided to pass the
night in the basket of the balloon.
1.-The next morning we started for
civilization, heading south. We had
three days of strenuous exercise, with
no more to. eat than was absolutely
necessary, we had to carry all our
food well as the blankets to cover
us at night And we needed those
blankets badly, for we had two snow
storms on the way.
ION the fourth day we found the
camp of Jack Matthias. trapper. I'm
fortunately, he was away from home.
We, however, stayed there and en-
joyed the hospitality of his hut for a
day of much needed rest. Then four
French-Canadian trappers turned up
and, like good fellows, brought US out
by canoe to st. Ambrose.
GAS near as we can figure, our land
ing place was about SIS miles north
of Chicoutimi. There is rather large
lake near where we landed, Lake Pts
cocama. and we landed between five
and eight miles north. Two smaller
lakes were also passed by us as we
made our way through the woods. The
country there is very rough and our
travel was necessarily slow and ardu-
GUS in the extreme, as there were no
trails we could follow.
1.-The bush was very dense and we
had a hard time fighting our way
through, but did not suffer any severe
hardships."
The Associated Press correspondent
was the first to inform Mr.. Post that
I,n C1ao hi fl7n nm
disputed winner of the Gordon Bennett
cup. The sky voyagers did not see any
of the other balloons in the drift east
ward across northern Quebec, as they
passed farther north than either the
Dusseldorf or Germania. Mr.. Post did
not appear to be greatly excited over
his experiences and showed much
more interest in the fate of Walter
Wellman, inquiring eagerly as to how
he had got on in his attempt to cross
the Atlantic. He was disappointed,
but not surprised that the attempt had
proven failure.
Messrs. Post and Haw1ey left for
Quebec this morning.
Grand Welcome Home.
New York, Oct. pa grand well
come home is being planned today for
Alan r. Hawley and Augustus Post

who were either thought to be
drowned in one of the Great Lakes
or persisted in the wi1ds of Canada. A
dispatch from Hawley at st. Ambrose,
Saguenay, reported that they landed
safely 1856 miles from st. Louis, the
starting point. They will reach here
Monday or Tuesday. Cortland Field
Bishop, president of the Aero Club of
America, said today:
1.-THE splendid feat of these men de-
serves the welcome we will give them
1t will be the largest celebration of it's
kind New York or any other place in
the country has ever seen. A big din
ner is already being arranged. Every
aviator now in the city will remain to
welcome the returning champions of
the air."

WOMAN WON OUT.
Chicago Policeman Mixes Up With a
SuTragette.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Three Chicago suf-
fragettes had a taste of real, militant
action last night when a policeman de-
scended upon a meeting they were hold
ing at Sixty third street and Cottage
Grove avenue, and attempted to pull
Mrs. Minona Fitz-Jones, who was
speaking from "a soap box to a large
crowd from her pedestal.
The lone policeman was routed after
he had met both physical and mental
resistance.
Before the policeman left the scene,
however, he had grabbed the speaker
by the arm and attempted to depose
her from her box. The crowd sided
with the speaker, as did also Miss Mary
Miller, a lawyer. and DR.. Lillian
Thompson. members of the party.
The incident occurred While Mrs.
Fitz-Jones was delivering a heated
dissertation upon the faults of the city
administration.
You'll have to get down off that
box. You have not got any permit and
you are blocking the sidewalk" said
the officer at the same time seizing
the woman by the arm. Mrs. Fftz-
Jones appealed to the crowd for aid.
Miss Miller stepped into the breach.
I'm d lawyer, and want to tell you
that she does not have to have a per-
nit, just so long as she does not in
cite riot she said.
The policeman let go of Mrs. F'itz-
Jones' arm then and the crowd jeered
the officer who left the scene.
