o 'clock. Colonel Roosevelt, in a dark
suit and immaculate white vest, stepped
out on the veranda and greeted the ad-
miral, who wore a white service uni
form.
Delighted to meet you" exclaimed
the colonel, his fact beaming. The
party filed into the broad reception room
and the admiral presented his gift. The
colonel expressed his gratitude in a
broadside of superlatives.
After the luncheon the party gathered
on the wide veranda, whence sounds of
frequent laughter and the vigorous voice
of Mr.. Roosevelt often issued.

dents gathered.

ATWOOD TRAVELS 286 MILES
IN AIRSHIP WITH ONLY
TWO STOPS.
Trip From st. Louis to Chicago in
Actual Flying Time of Five Hours
and 43 Minutes-American Record

Way to Boston

Chicago.-By flying the 2s6 miles
from St Louis to Chicago with only
two intermediate stops, and in an act
ual flying time of five hours and 40
minutes, Harry N. Atwood of Boston
believes he has set a pace that will
result in his establishing new rec
ord on his flight by aeroplane from
ST. Louis to New York and Boston.
Atwood appears to have broken the
American record for a single days
flight.
The best international cross-country
record is held by Andre Beaumont,
who, in the Paris Rome contest, Gov
cred 4O1 miles in single day, but in
this instance he made three landings,
while Atwood today landed only twice
between start and finish.
His New Record.
Total distance, travelling in. air line,
2s6 miles.
Actual flying time, five hours and 46
minutes.
Time from start to finish, including
delays for two stops, 10 hours and IA
minutes.
Average altitude, 500 feet.
Beats previous American record,
made by himself, from Atlantic City
to Baltimore, in July, 1911.
If he keeps up his first days rec
ord Atwood will cover the 1860 miles
from St. Louis to Boston in seven days
instead of 10 days, as planned.

RIOTS IN ENGLAND
GREAT LABOR MOVEMENT is
CAUSElF0R CALLING OUT
The TROOPS.
Liverpool is Present Scene of Furious
Battles in Streets-Police Unable TO
Cope With Mobs-Glasgow Is In Tur-
moil-Deep Resentment Manifested at
the Employment of Military Force.

London.-Great Britain appears to be
confronted by grave labor movement,
compared with which the London strike,
just ended, would be small affair.
Together with the street battles in
Liverpool of most furious nature and
serious riots at Glasgow comes the news
of meetings of railway employees at Liv-
erpool, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol,
Sheffield and other large cities, at which
threats were made of a general strike
of all railroad men, transport workers
and lockers, unless existing disputes
are settled promptly.
In London itself both railway and
streetcar strikes still threaten. The
men discussed the situation, but have
not taken active measures for going
out. AS in Glasgow, London Is tramway
service is run by the municipality.
A serious feature of the situation is
the deep resentment tn strikers display
at the employment of the military and
of police from other towns. The social
list party is doing its utmost to fan this
resentment. At meeting of 1000 rail
road men belonging to the Midland
Great Central and Metropolitan lines il
was decided tonight to call general
strike on all the railroads and tubes in
the London district, next Saturday, un-
less grievances were remedied in the
meantime. 1t is rumored that the Lon
don tramway men also have sent an
ultimatum to the county council.
Fight ia Liverpool Streets.
Liverpool.-Serious rioting growing
out of the seamen IS strike took plac,
Sunday. One policeman, Constable
Cochran, was struck on the head will
a brick and killed, and many persons
were injured.
An alteration between a policeman
and strikers at transport worker Z
demonstration in st. George IS hall, start
ed the trouble. After this disorder haC
been quelled and the strikers scattered
they gathered again in the Islingtol
quarter and resumed their attacks upol
the officers.
One hundred thousand men were gath
cred in groups about st. Georges hall
listening to speeches by labor agitators
and the scenes of violence following tn
attack upon the police neeessitated cal
ing out the reserves. When they arriy
ed one party of Is policemen was SUI
rounded and disarmed, the rioters beat
ing them with their own batons. Su
perintendent of Police Bolton, who wa
in command, was badly wounded. II
was taken to a hospital in a serious cor
dition.
So great was the disorder that tn
riot act was read and troops were cal
ed out to assist the police. The mo
fought desperately with stocks an
stones. Many policemen and rioter
were injured in the hand-to-hand fight
ing, but the troops and police gradual
dispersed the crowd.

appears little hope of averting a grea
railroad strike, which probably will b
