YOUNG BIRDMAN
SETS new RECORD
Danger of Flight SO Great That
$1,000 Prize Offer Was
Withdrawn

"A thousand feet above the peak of
Tamalpais, beyond the track of errant
gulls and storm driven waterfowl. an
aviator, Weldon 3. Cooke, took his
flight yesterday afternoon. circling the
lonely mountain in the teeth of a 80
mile gale. Far above the fog riffs of.a
lower altitude. and bathed in the full
radiance of sun that already had set
on the rest of the world, the daring
young Californian braved the treacher-
GUS air currents. to realize the ambition
of his career as a birdman-and sue
ceeded.
He was the first to accomplish the
dangerous feat, although it has been in
the minds Of aviators since the first
Nights in California. Two years ago,
when the famous Ely was here. a prize
of 81, 900 was offered, but the risk was
held to be too great. The offer was
later withdrawn, but Cooke is conteht
with his well earned laurels and the
knowledge that he has placed himself
among the leaders in aviation.

Abrogation of Treaty With
Russia Ratified by Unani-
nous Vote
HOUSE is EXPECTED
TO CONCUR TODAY
All Day Session Needed to
Bring About Concord on
Measure
DEMOCRATS FALL IN
LINE AFTER SKIRMISH

Tr WASHINGTON Dec. 19.-The
nI senate by a unanimous vote
tonight formally ratified Pres
ident Taft's notification to
Russia of the termination of the treaty
of 1892.
The Lodge joint resolution reported
by the foreign relations committee as
a substitution for the Sulzer resolu-
tion that passed the house, 800 to /,
was adopted after an all day debate
over Russian discrimination against
the Jews of America.
The house tomorrow is expected to
agree to the senate measure
Senate Jealous of Power
The resolution was adopted at 7:19
p. m. 1t was introduced for the COM
mittee by Lodge of Massachusetts,, as
the measure couched in the language
most satisfactory to the Washington
administration, which sought to avoid
giving offense to the st. Petersburg
government The final action came
after two substitutes had been voted
down. 1t was the climax of Il notable
proceeding in the chamber which
guards jealousy its traditional powers
to make and break treaties. All
through the symposium of views, to
which many senators contributed dur
ing the day. there were citations of
historical instances of treaty termina-
tions by executive act.
Every senator who spoke voiced his
advocacy of congressional action to
meet the Russian discrimination
They were unanimous for the termi-
nation of the treaty, but showed a
wide divergence of views as to the
manner in which that should be ac-
complished. Among those who held
conflicting opinions were Senators
Shively of Indiana, Poindexter of
Washington. O'Gorman of New York;
Stone of Missouri and Williams of
Mississippi
Hitchcock in Opposition
The most conspicuous opposition to
the senate resolution developed when
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska offered
a substitute resolution eliminating
the question of race as cause for
discrimination and omitting the charge
that Russia had violated the terms of
the treaty.
The Hitchcock substitute was along
the lines of the house. resolution. Those
who voted in the affirmative on the
Hitchcock substitute were Senators
Chiffon. Culberson, Rayner. Smith of
Maryland. Taylor, Watson and Williams
democrats and Senators Clapp and
Poindexter (republicans).
Senator Newlands offered a substi-
tute dovetai1ing the Hitchcock and
Lodge resolutions, but this was voted
down without division. Then came the
final vote on the Lodge resolution The
roll was called, but there was no
division. Seventy-two votes were cast,
all of them favorable to the measure
1t was therefore declared adopted and
was started on its way to the house

Flight Lasted More Than Hour

Cooke had been planning the trip for
nearly. a week and before the opening of
the meet, in the Oakland motordrome,
which was his starting point, he had
taken careful note of the weather con-
ditions at the summit of the mountain
and watched the direction and velocity
of the wind With a favorable outlook
ahead yesterday afternoon he set out
from the motordrome and little more
than an hour later his mechanicians
got word that the flight had been made
and that Cooke was safe on earth again
in Mill Valley.
When slight repairs have been made
to his machine, which was DANA ged
in his attempt to find a landing in the
twilight at the base of the mountain,
the young man will continue his tour
of the bay cities, flying the length Of
Market street over the tall buildings
before returning to his starting point
across the bay.

GENIUS.
The Rarity and Variability of Heredi-
tary Literary Ability.

Perhaps ii is remarkable that in
stances of hereditary literary genius
are not more common. Among recent
examples in England we might add the
Darwins, who have afforded fine ex-
ample of the family doctrine of evolu-
ton. But such examples are after all
rare and one cannot recall any exam
pie of supreme literary genius being
repeated in the second generation.
1t was. / think. phrase of Pater
that there was always about genius
something of the poisoning of the
aloe" In other words there seems to
be in the production of genius a long
preparation and a sudden and final
Towering of certain unique qualities.
And to support this view of a. flower
ing season of genius in families we
have such examples as the Brontes
and the Rossetts and the Tennysons,
where literary talent is found in sew
eral members of the same family in a
single generation. Perhaps one might
add much modern instances as the
Bensons and the Housmans.
Sometimes geniusssIsips generation,
just as good fruit years are not COM
monty consecutive; and sometimes the
genius takes a different dorm. Every
body knows the story of the Mendels-
sohn who came between the two fa-
nous Memberships, his father, Moses
Mendelssohn, the philosopher. and his
son, Felix Mendelssohn. the musician
He complained that for the first half
of his life he was known as Mendels
sohn's son and for the second half as
Mendelssohn's father,-London Even
