ATWOOD SLOWSUP
Makes Only Eleven Miles in
TOday's Flight.
Lands Safely on the Erie Avia-
tiOn Grounds.
FINDS SEVERE WINDS
Requires Is Minutes to Make
the Distance.
viii Try to Reach Buffalo This
Afternoon.

Erie, Aug. 19.=Atwood landed
here after battling against high winds
between here and Swanville. The
distance is eleven miles. The time
was 16 minutes.
Atwood made the IL mile fight, the
shortest since he left st. Louis last
Monday, in 16 minutes. Rising in a
cornfield at Swanville at 11:54 a. M,
Atwood flew into a blast of wind
which he said hit him like a tempest,
but he steered to a point high over
Erie and landed in the grounds as
signed him at 1910 p. m. Owing to
improved air conditions, Atwood an
nounced on alighting that he probably
would attempt to fly to Buffalo late
this afternoon. AtWood'S arrival here
on the sixth day of his fight landed
him 73S miles from his starting point
in st. Louis. He is still SIT miles from
New York.
Ran Out of Gasoline.
SWanville, Pa, Aug. 19.-With a
flight of IL miles from here to Erie
before noon and a fight of 95 miles
from Erie to Buffalo in the afternoon.
Harry N. Atwood, the Boston aviator
today planned to add 106 miles to his
credit in his attempt to beat the
worlds cross-country record by flying
from St. Louis to New York. Atwood's
biplane, which had been kept under
the trees near the lake shore all night
after it had been brought to earth in
a corn field because the aviator found
he had not sufficient gasoline to take
him into Erie, was wheeled out into
the field again early today.
Atwood said he expected to land in
Erie about II o'clock and start for
Buffalo at noon. Having, in five days,
gone more than half the 1856 miles
from his starting point in st. Louis to
his proposed landing at Coney Island
in New York, Atwood is confident that

After being up a thousand feet or |
more he feels comparatively as safe
as when he is as low as two or three |
hundred feet as if he could step into |
the air at that height without ex- |

of gravity. I think, accounts for some
of the fatal jinks which some aviators

MARLOWE is A BRIDE.
Becomes Wife of f. H. Sothern in
London.

London, Aug. 19.-E. H. Sothern. the
American actor, and Julia Marlov7e. tho
actress, with whom he has starred
were married Friday in the registry Of
fee at knights Bridge. The marriage
was surprise to the friends of the
two players here.
Mr. and Mrh. Sothern left the Hvde
Park hotel, where they have been s1av-
ing, and have gone on a honeymoon fo
DevonShire, where they intend to take
a house until fall. The marriage was
witnessed by a New York LAWYER
whose name is given as Kclefax
New York, Aug. ia cable dispatch
from London informed Lee Shubert,
the theotrical manager, that Edward
H Suthern and Julia MarloIye had
been married in that city No par
ticulars of the wedding were given in
the message which simply stated that
marriage had taken place. Mr.. Sothern
and Miss Marlowe have appeared to-
gether III various roles since 1904 when
they began their partnership under the
mana cement of Charles Frohman.
Numerous rumors that the actor and
actress were to be married have been
circulated at various times since they
first appeared together, but each time
they were denied.
Sothern and Miss Marlowe sailed for
Europe early in July on different
steamers and have been spending their
vacation together abroad. When Soth-
ern left on his ship he was asked by
reporters whether it was true that he
was going to marry Miss Marlowe
I wish it were true" was his sig
nif1cant reply. He refused, however, 10
say anything more on the subject.
Both Sothern and Miss Marlowe have
been married before, and in each case
the matrimonial venture terminated

vorce from her actor husband, Roberz
Tabor, in 1894, and Virginia Harmed
was granted a decree against Sothern
last year at Reno, after she had made
an unsuccessful attempt to have her
marriage annulled- Sothern and Mis-;
Marlowe are expected to return to New
York in October. when they are to an
pear again il their repertoire.

HODGES IN THE RACE.
Settled That He'll Try for the Cover
norship.

State Senator George Hodges of
Olathe will surely make the race for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor, letting his aspirations for the
United States senate go for few
years. He has written a Topeka friend
that he hopes Arthur Capper will win
the Republican nomination, as he be-
lieves he can beat CapDer in Novem-
ber. He expects TO make a vigorous
and aggressive campaign.
From the tenor of Senator Hodges
remarks in this letter. the next state
campaign will be a hummer.
