BY Associated Press.
Chicago, Ills, Aug. 1S.--Oscar A..
Brindley scared higher from the
ground today than an aeroplano has
ever been before, and set a new
worlds altitude record at l1,72O
feet.
Phillip Parmarlee followed him
in the air passing the former
American record and reached 1927
feet.
The worlds record was formerly
10,76l feet. made by NJ. Loriden at
Mourmelon, France, July s, 1911.
Captain Felix flew to a height OF
-l,152 feet at Etampes, France, re-
Gently but his flight has not yet
been made official
Ralph Johnstone set the American
mark at Belmont Park, N. Y, Octo-
Der 3, 1910, at 10,476 feet
While, Brindley, Howard, Gill, and
Beachy were high among the clouds
finding safety In their altitude flights
James Ward and Earle Ovington,
flying at low level, both had narrow
escapes from death.
The propeller Of Wards machine
broke into hundred pieces as he
flew before the grand stand. Pieces
Of wood penetrated the canvass
planes, but the aviator held tight
and brought his machine wobbling to
the ground.
Ovington, with his engine stopped
and not quite able to reach shore,
found a landing place IN feet of
water from which he escaped from
no injury other than d duckIng.
Beachy was the first to descend,
cold, He came down in hair
raising glide, having gone up S.5l6
feet. Brindley came down next, with
his barograph showing a mark Of
over 1000 feet, Gill descended
soon after, with a mark of 8,7OO
feet. All declared they could have
made even better marks but for the
cold,
The air was fine for flying, ana
could have gone higher" said
Brindley, "but only had light
clothes on. When the thermometer
got down near freezing and l was
rushing through the air. my hands
got cold and l could not handle the
machine safely"
Atwood Takes Short Jump.
Swanville, Pa. Aug. lS.-What he
called one jump, brought Harry At
wood, the Boston aviator, from Cleve-
land, Ohio, to Swanvllle, Pa, this af-
ternoon, and landed him S4 miles
nearer his destination in his pictur-
esque aeroplane flight from st. Louis
to New York. Atwood was to have
flown to Erie, but a lack OF gasoline
forced him to land eleven miles west
of Erie.
He came down in a corn field with
out accident at twilight.
Starting from Cleveland after much
delay, he made terrific speed. A fast
train leaving Cleveland 20 minutes af-
ter Atwood, failed to catch up. He
even gained until he was 80 miles
ahead Of the train. Train Dispatch
ers, who were keeping tab on the
train, shouted that they was 80 miles
and the crew of the train
gave up hope Of catching the aviator.
The actual flying time Of Atwood
for the 81 miles was hours and 7

ME1lco'S POLITICAL SITUATION.

Those watching the political sit u4tioa in Mexico seem to derive no little confidence and satisfaction from tue fact that General Reyes aud Mr. Madero have come to an understanding that they shall stand for tbe presidency in opposition to each other, submit their rival claIms tO a free ballot and fair count, the loser to abide by the result in good faith and aid the winner in preserving order through out the republic.
 Tue determination reached does argue really for good results. In the
 first place it will give opportunity to the minority to give expression to tue dissent of it's rank and file. Aud that Is one of the fundamental principles of a republican form of government. A minority is apt to believe frequently that 1t Is really the majority. And if it is denied expression it believes it has been robbed of its rights, to secure which its membership becomes ready to resort to violence. But when per mitted to express it's dissent, stand up and be counted, it perceiyes

killing animals. There were number of stoekmen present to meet with Santa Fe attornevs E w. Camp, II. J. Franklin and claim agent Herbert Morris. There was taclt agreement among those present that the following schedule ot prices would be used in puttior a value on animals killed: Calves SIS, yearling heifers SIS, vearling steers S2l, cows $26, two year old steers S27, three year old steers S36. The railroad attorneys agreed that all animals killed would be hauled off the right of way, there left until inspected.
 The agreement does not bind anyone especially, but may be q basis to work from, though when It comes to the age of a critter, dis. cusslon as to values will remain about the same as heretofore. with the exception that there may he some difficulty in proving that the animal was killed by the railroad, since 1t Is eventually found off the right of way.-Coconino Sun.

what it did not before the election that really it is but a minority and it acquiesces in the result.
 Counting the minority and regis tering its dissent is a safety valve that serves to allay popular passion and prevent civic explosions which are so disastrous. And the deter imitation of the two central figures in Mexico to make two tickets in the presidential contest gives an opportunity for the adherents of each to see just how greatly or how little their fellow countrymen desire their choice in the chair of state is matter for congratulation.

Monday the Senate passed the Flood reso- lutiou, rejecting the Nelson amend meut eliminating from the Arizona constitution the recall of the judi cIary.

will be Given Fair Trial in
Civil Courts IN Chihuahua,
Mexico
Estimated that there are Six
:. Hundred Americans With
IOSufrectos
(ey Associated Press.)

Ell Paso, Tex, Mar. 15.-Assurance
of the safety of all Americans now
confined in Mexican prisons is given
In an cial statement ISSUED at
Juarez tonight. Americans now pris-
oners will be given trials in the civil
courts on charge of ssdition against
the Mexican government, but hereaft-
er, insurrectos, whether citizens of
the United States or not, may be sub
ject to the death penalty under the
summary military procedure. A state
men from the Mexican officials was
issued relative to the II foreigners
now imprisoned in the federal Jail at
Casas Grandes. Fifteen of them are
Americans. Pending their trials they
will be given the consideration due to
prisoners of war.
/: Colonel Cuellar, in command at
Casas Grandes, Is suffering from
wounds, and as soon as he is able to
move the prisoners will be marched
40 miles to Chihuahua to face the
civil court. The two other foreigners
are European "s0ldiers of fortune"
who have fought in Central American
revolutions. The men are confined in
cells in an adobe prison and are under
a guard of Mexican soldiers. Their
rations are such as can be spared
from the military stores, for the town
has had no food supplies since March
6, when the battle at which the in
surrectos were defeated was fought.
~ It H. said the citizens Of the United
States now fighting in the insurrecto
ranks number 600. The largest force
is with Captain Oscar G. Creighton,
who has been active in blowing up
railroad bridges. Government officials
received orders today to put stop
to the crossing of Americans from Ell
Paso into the insurgent territory.
Reports from the interior of the
war zone" are that the insurrectos
are concentrating at various points.
Francisco l. Madero, revolutionary
leader, with 1000 insurrectos, is
somewhere north of Casas Grandes
and is drawing toward him General
Orozco with 800 men. The insurgent
forces WE scattered after their
Casas Grande defeat, and their inac-
tivity for several days was due to re-
organization. The general movement
Of the insurrectos is northward, pre-
sumably toward Juarez.
