BIRD MEN ON WAY
CurtiSs AViatOrS Leave Little
Rock for Topeka.
They Are Expected Here Tomor-
row Morning.

Jimmie Ward and Hugh H. Rob
inson, the Curtiss aviators, who will
make sensational flights in their BIZ
planes of the most modern type each
afternoon beginning Thursday and
continuing until Sunday, on aviation
field near Ninewood, are expected by
the local management to arrive in
Topeka tomorrow morning.
A telegram was received from r. H.
Young, manager for the bird men, who
have been flying at Little Rock, Ark,
which reads as follows:
Ward and Robinson both leave
here Sunday for Topeka. They made
flights here today. Ward made an

Tents have been provided for the air
ships, and between Tuesday and
Thursday afternoon when the meet
begins the aviators will be. busy ad-
1usting their crafts so that they will
be in trim for making sensational
flights.
Tommy" Walsh, the advance
agent for the Curtiss flyers, has writ
ten as follows from the Hotel Balti-
more in Kansas City: ct was in Par
sons, Kan, yesterday and saw some of
out, and they are doing lot of good.
I have heard a lot of people talking
already about coming from different
places.
81 think you are going to have a
great meet. IF the weather is good
we will take some passengers up"
The railroads in general running
into Topeka have put out dodgers ad-
vertising the flying meet, and posters
have been put in all the nearby towns
advertising the big event.
The admission fee to the grounds
has been fixed at SIS cents, including
the round trip on the street cars. The
street railway company is making
special arrangements whereby it will
be possibleto handle the thousands of
persons who will attend the meet.
There will be about 1900 mer-
chants in the city while the bird men
are doing their feats of skill and it is
safe to supposethat many of them will
take advantage of the opportunity to
watch the sensational flights.
Everything possible will be done for
the entertainment and convenience of
the people who attend the meet. While
the lu1ls between flights are the order
of procedure-or lack of procedure
the great crowds will be given the free
run of Vinewood, and the concessions,
too-if they have the price.

HE WANTS IT STRAIGHT.
Taft Is Opposed to Any Amendment of
Reciprocity Bill.

Washington, June 5.-To Senator
Stone of Missouri President Taft again
made it clear today that he is op-
posed to any amendment whatsoever
to the Canadian reciprocity agreement.
Senator Stone had heard a report that
administration opposition to the Root
amendment was not entirely sincere
and that Senator Root had been as
sured privately that the president
would not be displease6 if it was
adopted.
81 came to the White House." said
the senator, Ito find out for myself
whether the president was in earnest
In opposing the Root amendment, and
L found out. He told me that he was
against the amendment proposed by
Senator Root and would be against
any proposed by any other senator,
Democrat or Republican. That settles
it for me. I am going back to the SEN
ate to carry the fight along those lines.
Every true friend of reciprocity will
do the same thing. If we begin by
tacking on harmless amendments we
will end by tacking on others which
will destroy the bill''

1t Amounted to About Forty Thousand
Dollars.

Final settlement was made in the
probate court today in five Shawnee
county estates. The largest of these
was the Frederick Wellhouse estate.

by the trustees and arrangements COM
pleted for closing the estate and divid-
ing the property among the heirs.
The Wellhouse estate includes title
to several tracts of valuable Shawnee
county property, formerly owned by the
Kansas apple king. The estate is di-
vided equally among the children; and
when the final report in the estate was
filed today, the administrator was dis
charged and the affair formally closed.
The other estates in which final set
tlement was made, were those of Doro-
thy A. Parrish, c. r. Maunseu, Andrew
G. Robinett and John B. Charles. The
property rights involved in these es-
tates were comparatively small.

vIDART FLIES IN.
Fourth Contestant in the Air
Race From Paris
Arrives at Rome at 9:15 O'Clock
This Morning.
LIE PRlNCEON THE WAY
The Committee Refuses to Rec.
OgniZe His Entry.
Vedrine Will Try to Make Trip
in One Day.
LIE PRINCEON THE WAY

Rome, June 5.-Vidart, the fourth
contestant to reach Rome, the second
stage of the 1900 mile Paris-Rome-
Turin air race. arrived at s:15 o'clock
this morning. The aviator reached
Orbetello. about 70 miles from Rome,
on Saturday. In landing. one wing
and propeller of his machine were
broken. Vidart secured a new aero
plane and at 1853 o'clock this morning
reascended and flew direct to Rome.
LIE Prince, a French aviator, ar
rived at Genoa at 6:48 g. m. The
weather was magnificent but the air
man postponed his departure for
Rome pending instructions from the
aviation committee. The Rome COM
mittee teIegraphed instruction to LIE
Prince that his progress over the Ital-
ian stage of the race would not be
tered in the contest. LIE Prince only
asked that chronometer registration of
his arrivals and departures along the
route be taken.
There is some talk of abandoning
the last leg of the Paris -Rome-T Turin
race, owing to the difficulty in find
ing a proper landing place in the
Appenines. Beaumont, however, says
he will make the flight to Turin,
whether that portion of the race is
officially eliminated or not.
According to the rules. the start
from Rome may be made any time
before June 10 for the Rome-Turin
section of the contest. Beaumont is
in good condition for this flight, but
Garros is still suffering severely from
the injuries to his right shoulder.
Vedrine, the winner of the Paris
Madrid race, has sent a message
from the French capital saying he
hopes to fly to Rome and expects to
accomplish this flight in one day.

Testifying Falsely.

Washington, June 5.-The senate

hearings on the Canadian reciprocity
bill, Herman Ridder, until recently
president of the American News Pub
fishers association, being called to the
witness chair. Mr.. Ridder had not
proceeded far when Senator McCum-
Der of North Dakota startled the COM
mittee by challenging one of Mr.. Rid
der's statements as IAN absolute false
hood"
Senator McCumber's action brought
quick protest from Senators Stone
and Bailey, who declared that wit
nesses should not be insulted. Mr..
Ridder had made the statement that
the newspapers of the country and
the publishers association had not at
tempted to suppress facts or to color
stories sent from Washington on the
subject of reciprocity. Senator Nc
Cumber interrupted with his charge
of falsehood. Several senators in
sisted that Mr.. McCumber's remarks
should be stricken from the record.
eff any witness appearing before
this committee" said Senator Bailey,
''were to imply that some senator had
told a falsehood L would insist that it
be stricken from the records"
Senator McCumber agreed to have
his remark changed SO as to make it
read that what Mr.. Ridder said was
"unfounded".
Mr.. Ridder in reply to questions
from members of the committee de-
clared that he as president of the pub
fishers association had sent out word
to the members of the association
telling them the reciprocity agreement
was of vital Importance.
But I would not have favored the
agreement" added Mr.. Ridder, 'if ]
had not thought it would be of good
to the whole country, independent OF
