JIMMY WARE
QUITS THE GAME
HYSTERiCAL WIFE AND MANAGER
MAKE AVIATOR ABANDON
FLIGHT,
THEY GO BACK HOME
tame Little Aviator Was Determined
TO Continue Trans Continental
Air Journey.

Buffalo, \. y, Sept 22@After a
prolonged conference between Jimmy
Ward his manager. Ike Bloom, and
Mrs. Ward, at the Iroquois Hotel in
this city tonight, the little aviator
who had struggled heroically against
adverse circumstances to make the
trip ACROSS the continent for the
Hearst prize, was prevailed upon to
definitely abandon the attempt Ward
Was. stubbornly determined to con-
tinue in spite of the nasty spill in
which he barely escaped with his
life this morning. But Mrs. Ward.
who had hurried back from Chicago,
was almost at the point of Mysteries
and Manager Bloom declined to
share the responsibility if Ward con-
tinued the flight.
Mrs. Ward had especially been
worried almost to downright illness
by the fact that they were wagering
odds of 8 to 1 in Chicago that Jimmy
would be killed before he reached
Buffalo. The party left at $50 to-
night for Chicago. Later Ward will
attempt the flight from Minneapolis
to New Orleans over the Mississippi
river.
The accident that caused the
abandonment of the trip was the mar
rowest escape from death that Ward
has ever had. Early this morning
Ward and friend stole up the
Goodhue hill before anyone else was
awake. Ward made beautiful get
away until he reached an altitude of
1920 feet. Then he dashed West.
The aerop1ane suddenly turned al
most perpendiculanly and it disap-
Feared from sight on the mountain.
BY some miracle Ward managed to
twist the craft onto an even field.
Just as he was about to land safely
one plane caught on a bough of a
tree. AS the machine spun around
and crashed to earth one side was
absolutely smashed, the front and
rear outriggers demolished, the chas-
lis crushed and the seat on which
he aviator had his place. dug into
he ground. How Ward escaped he
Toes not know himself. Ward as

some inadvertance he wrapped tape
lround the, vent OF the gasoline tank.
This effectively stopped the supply of

BREAKS THE RECORD IN OCEAN
TO OCEAN FLIGHT FOR
$4,000 HEARST PRIZE.
COVERED 173 MILES
Is Careful In Picking Out His Route
Now Only Short Distance
From Buffalo,

! Elmira, N. Y, Sept 22.-The great
est distance yet flown by contes-
tant in the William Randolph Hearst
$4,000 race from ocean to ocean was
covered this afternoon by Cal P
Rodgers, the army representative
! Rodgers landed here shortly after
$50, having covered 173 miles dur
ing his flight, which started a few
minutes after IL O'Clock at Hancock
N. Y. The aviator made a perfect
landing and is ready to take the air
again tomorrow morning, just as soon
as a slight wind will allow him to
arise
Despite the fact that he covered 173
miles, Rodgers made 100 miles as
the bird flies. Taking every precau-
ton. owing to the accidents which
have already befallen him, he did not
defy the laws Of nature in rushing
over the wooded mountains. Instead
he chose the valleys and kept close
to the ground. He went clear out of
his way to avoid any of natures pit
falls and the fact that he put in a
perfect record during the day proved
his wisdom.
From Hancock to Binghampton Is
but 50 miles in a straight line. How
ever. Rodgers flew f16 miles in
making the distance. He left Han
cock at 1926 and "a minutes later
ahghted at Carbonate, So miles
away. He was off again almost in
stantly. circling over the city of
Scranton. II miles. and continuing OF,
to Binghampton. 62 miles from Scran-
ton. making several short landings on
the way. -
It was 4:47 when he left Bing-
hampton for the flight to Elmira.
where he planned to drop for the
night. This meant 81 miles and he
covered the distance in one hour and
IS minutes.
He kept up his steady gait, never
varying. averaging about 81 miles an
hour and making the 173 miles. in

Notwithstanding the fact the spe-
clai committee from the City Council.
composed of Aldermen Fred Fox. e.
A. Howell and e. A. Shepherd. ap-
proved an ordinance granting a thirty-
year franchise to the Pine Bluff Nat
ural Gas Company, after it had been
read at a conference held in the City
Hall yesterday afternoon for several
hours. and which was attended by
Mayor Jordan, City Attorney Sorrells
and the special committee, represent
ing the city, and A. B. Daily, OF
Pittsburg, Pa, president of the Pine
Bluff Natural Gas Company, and At
torneys NJ. Danaher, of this city. and
w. B. Smith, of Little Rock, repre-
senting the corporation, City Attorney
Sorrells declares that he will insist
at the meeting of the Council. that
will consider the franchise, that a
clause be inserted in the franchise
which would not compel consumers to
deposit S.
While the Pine Bluff Natural Gas
Company did not insist that the clause
compelling S. deposit be included in
the ordinance to be adopted, and the
adoption of which the committee an
nounced it would recommend at the
next Council meeting, it has right
to make such a rule if there is no
clause in the franchise prohibiting it.
Mr.. Sorrells contended that under
such condition the Pine Bluff Natur-
al Gas Company will have the right to
demand SIS deposit from every con-
sume11 before making a connection.
The argument was advanced that the
company would pay all depositors 5
per cent annually on the sum deposit
ed, but Mr.. Sorrells argued that he
could see no reason for the consumers
OF the city being subject to such a
privilege on the part of the gas COM
pany.
If the natural gas company has
two thousand consumers on its books"
said Mt. Sorrells, at will practically
result in the people of this city lend
ing the company $4,000 annually at
5 per cent. The company does not
propose, as / understand, to let this SIS
deposit go as credit on any months
bill and to be- returned only when
consumer ceases to use gas. do not
want to be understood as being an
tagonistic to the natural gas people.

accrue from a natural gas service in
this city. My opposition to such rule
is made to protect the people and l

slider it an unreasonable rule. I ex-

TO TEST EXPLOSIONS
AS I'M COAL MINES

PITTsBURG, June 7.-Plahs have been
perfected ror a remarkable series OF
mine tests by experts affiliated with the
United States testing station Of the bu-
reau of mines in this city. The expert
ments will be made in a mine recently
purchased by the government at Bruce
ton, Pa.
Entries $40 feet in length have been
tunneled and a steel observation gallery
has been erected in the mine coal tip
pie and an incline have been completed
and a correct lining of the entries Is
under construction.
Within a few days coal dust explosions
will be made under conditions where the
force of the explosions can always be
controlled. The force of these explosions
and their nature will be closely watched,
while instruments will record the time
of travel of the explosive wave. 1t is
proposed also to investigate the explosi-
bility of coal dust in pure air and to take
tests with small percentages of fire
damp in the air. Tests for limiting
and preventing explosions will be made.

"UNDUE INFLUENCE"
A MYTH SAYS BURTON

NEW YORK, June 7.-what is known
as domination of the interests" is a
DOGGY man of the press and public, ac-
cording to Senator Theodore E. Burton,
of Ohio. who is attending a commence
ment OF Columbia university, having
been elected as the Phi Beta Kappa ora
tor for the occasion.
eff at any time the corporations of
the country have exercised undue influ-
ence' is is due to their superior organi-
zation and shrewdness." he declared in
his grafton. When any one talks to
you about undue influence 1t shows that
he is uniformed. The domination OF
the interests is an imaginary creature.

ever came across with a proposition that
would not bear the light of day."
Senator Burton defended Ohio, declar-
ing he did not think 1t behind other
states in the matter of honesty, saying
recent disclosures concerning the legis-
lature affected only one county.

like to know how sulphate of ammonia
will compare with nitrate Of soda as a

Sulphate of ammonia is a by-product
of gas works and also Of coke ovens.
Something like 100000 tons are now pro-
duced in the United States, but a million
could easily be produced. 1t is one Of
those by-products which has been
allowed to go to waste because

quickly available in the soil, but not
quite so rapidly as nitrate of soda as 1T
must undergo one transformation before
plants assimilate their supply of nitro
gen. AS ii is richer in nitrogen as heavy
applications are not ordinarily needed
as of nitrate of soda, and as 1t Is
somewhat more slowly available, there
is not so much danger of its being car

soil to correct it's natural loss through
the action of some Of the materials
