GLIDEs DOWN 6,ooo FEET.
Walter Brookins Breaks Another
 Aviation Record.


 Atlantic City, N. J.-Walter Brook ins, in a Wright biplane, broke the worlds altitude record when he al tained a height of 6,175 feet. He used his last drop of gasoline in his highest altitude and was still climb ing when his engine missed explo sions. The daring aviator brought his machine back to level to get the last drop of fuel out of the storage tank to reach the line of vision ef engineers on the beach. Reaching the imaginary line, Br0okins started to glide to earth and his engine stop ped entirely when he was at 5,G00 feet and still ever the ocean. His eircling glide to the beach, which the crowd believed to be a bit of fancy flying, was done to save him self from diving into the sea. He was ready to collapse when he reached the ground
 Brookins will probably receive a prize of $5,G00 for breaking a worlds record for altitude attained

Donaghey Against Leasing cOnvicts.

ROSers.-ln an address delivered here Gov. Donaghey said in part:
 "The convict, though a poor, for saken outcast from his home. his friends and bis family, has some claims on society and humanity. A great state, representing. as it should the highest ideals of justice and mercy, should never conse.t ts the practice of the barbarous lease system, under which human beings in the image of ourselves and of the God of our worship, may be so much abused that a greater crime is com mitted by the state in the murder of the convict than was committed by the convict against the peace and dignity of the state. But the lease system will always produce such re- suits. It makes no difference what the state is nor who the officers are. The greed for money flushes the blood of the contractor untl his en- ergy forces him over the lines of pa tience and mercy"
