NEW RECORD IS MADE
 BY GLENN CURT|Ss
Aviator Flies on Return Trip
 Over Lake Erie
DISTANCES FAST TRAIN
Curtfss Travels Sixty-fve Miles in Less Than Two Hours But His Speed Is Cut Down By
 Adverse Winds

Cleveland, September 1.-Racing with a
 fast Lake Shore mail train, Glenn H. Cur.
 tiss. the Hammondsport, N Y, aviator
 today drove his biplane over the water from Cedar Point to Euclid beach. an
 airline distance of 50 miles, completing
 120-mile trip begun yesterday and estab-
 fishing an unquestioned worlds record for over-the-water flights. Incidentally,
 he beat the train into Cleveland a full II | minutes.
 Encountering contrary air currents, Curtiss was unable to maintain high speed, taking 1 hour and 42 minutes for
 the flight. The actual distance traversed, estimated at the United States hydro graphic office. was 6424 miles.
 At 2.47 o'clock this afternoon Curtiss ascended over Lake Erie from the sandy beach off Cedar Point. At 4:12 p. m. the | aeroplane, after fighting a 19-mile breeze all the way, passed the center of Cleve- | land and reached the Euclid beach at exactly 429 p. m
 | A great crowd of 50,000 people gathered on the beach, surrounded him and in- | sisted on shaking hands with him, but police rescued him and took him to a | telephone, over which he greeted Mrs. | Curtiss, who had just arrived in her | hotel. She was on the train which Cur
 tiss distanced
 | drizzling rain was failing when Cur ] tiss gave the order for the starting of
 his motor. All morning weather cond-
 tions had been unpropitious and thou
 sands of excursionists who had gathered
 at the point had almost given up hope of seeing the flight. At noon, however,
 the aviator announced that he would | make a trial flight, which he did reach- | ing an altitude of 300 feet, which he maintained for minutes. He then de- | termined to start on his 60-mlle journey that the train bearing Mrs. Curtiss would | leave Sandusky little earlier he changed his mind and set out despite the rain. He | encountered considerable difficulty in navigating the currents above Lake Erie The first 10 miles were covered in 13 min
 utes, but after that the breeze which had been steady grew gusty, necessitating
 many dips and maneuvers that the avia.. tor might maintain his balance.
 Off Cleveland harbor the velocity of the
 breeze had diminished to 12 miles an hour, but It was unsteady and the peo- pie lining the lake front and perched on the top of every available building had
 the opportunity of judging the difficulty of flying under unfavorable conditions.
 Tonight the aviator, his wife and thu
 members of his party, were entertained at a banquet given by the Cleveland Aero club They will leave for the east | in the morning

TREASURY HAS GOOD
 WORKING BALANCE Second Month of Fiscal Year Makes Good Showing PUBLIC DEBT IS LARGER Disbursements in Face of a Natural Condition Give Evidence of the
 Economic Policy of the
 Administration
PUBLIC DEBT IS LARGER

Washington September 1.-With ar increase of S3,27S,325 in the public debl and a total deficit of $17.S71, ,46S.0S tI,e United States treasury closed the sec ond month of the fiscal year, keep ing on an evel keel, all things con sidered with a working balance oi $30, ,S26, ,O57.23 on hand and the general fund down to $S9,523, ,207.59.
 The increase in public debt which is complete turnover of Si,000,000 ir round numbers from the month of July is due largely to an excess of national bank deposits over redemption. The general rule of excess of expenditures over receipts during July and August is also a contributor.
 Those who have observed closely the fluctuations of the working balance during the last month affect to find satisfaction in that it Is a shade bet ter than at the close of July, even if there has been drop of approximate ly $3,OOO,00O in the general fund. The deficit of $17,00o 900 is around s10,O0O. 900 under what it was year ago al this time ana progressive conultlOn is apparent in the comparison of re- ceipts and disbursements with those of this date in the last fiscal year.
 Total receipts in the month of Au- gust were s54696, ,25S.64. roughly $5.- GOO 900 more than for the same month last year. This brings the receipts of this year over the $113,000,000 mark and s5,0O0, 900 better than those of the preceding year.
 Disbursements on the whole and in face of a natural condition which bears upon 0 good showing still give evil dence of the economic policy which has become one of the first considera . tions of the administration. With a decline of about $2,5o0.000 month for the Panama canal, the ordinary dis |bursements for August totaled $5S,53S, |7S7.74. running a shade ahead of tn same month last year, $10,000,000 under last month, and making $126,950, ,496. 9O for the present year, some $4,00O,0O0 better than the record for the same time A year ago. The Panama cana expenditures for this year are brought up to $6,97S,365.

SOCIALISTS TAKE
 RADICAL ACTION

Copenhagen, September 1.-The interna- tional socialist congress at today's pre- liminary sitting adopted resolution de- manding the establishment of a system of universal and compulsory laws against unemployment, the cost of which is to be borne by the owners of the means of production.
 Among other things the resolution sets forth that the condition of unemployment was inseparable from the present capital istic mode of production and that as long as capitalism held sway only palliative measures were possible of success.
 The session was noisy throughout. The resolution on unemployment occupied the entire day and was carried. despite the refusal of the American, French and Brit ish delegates to vote.

Bleeding the Indians

One good result may be expected from the Gore investigation and its disclosure that the Indians of that state have been obliged to pay enormous legal fees to secure their rights. The venerable chief of the 1s,0O0 Choctaws, in his testimony before the committee, put the blame where it belonged when he related how his tribe. year year after year, had waited for the government to perform its obligations, and how in order to se- cure their long deferred payment the Indians had been compelled to expend hundreds of thousands of dollars for at torneys fees.
