about Y Of a point net loss when the
bell tapped for the closing. There was
no question as to the main cause for
the weakness. No one doubted but
what the Administration intended to
continue. work of smashing Illegal
trusts, but the very fact that the
President declared that the work would
continue was sufficient to send a cold
shiver down the spine of Wall street.
There were other influences but this
was chiefest and most potent. The at
torney general of North Carolina and
the same official Of South Carolina and
Virginia have filed petitions against the
proposed tobacco reorganization plans.
The Western Steel Corporation has

AFTER PLAYING TAG WITH SIM

SCARED AWAY
STARTED FROM Connecticut
HAD NO IDEA OF ATTEMPTING
SUCH A FEAT UNTIL HE GOT
INTO THE AIR

New York, July 1.-One of the mosl
spectacular flights OF American avia.
ton was ended at Governors Island
this morning by Harry Atwood, with
a wonderful flight near the Singer
tower, almost grazing the roofs of the
craggy sky-scrapers below. The baf-
fling cross currents, crannies and cliffs
OF the towers of Manhattan Island
had hitherto daunted all American
aviators.
Atwood rose from New London al
{ o'clock this morning with the in
tention of flying down the Connects
cut shore and crossing Long Island
Sound to the aviation field at Mineola
When he got into the air he found his
motor humming so steadily and the
air currents so favorable that his con
tidence increased and, instead OF
crossing the Sound, he turned inland
off Mount Vernon and headed for Hell
Gate and the mouth of the East river
Atwood crossed the river to Long
Island City, near the Williams Bridge
turned back to Manhattan Island, flew
over the city at no great altitude tc
the lower end of the Island circled
carefully in his course to Wall street
and lowered in smooth spira1s for a
moment over the amazed curb brokers
in Broad street, below. At Bridge
port, Atwood descended within easy
sight of the amazed passengers of a
moving train, crossed the tracks in
front of the locomotive and repeat
ing his performance, making three
complete circles Of the train before he
resumed his southwestward course.

AN HISTORIC LANDMARK


Billy the Kid, outlaw Of unsavory
memory. was slain by Pat Garret,
new dead, near the present vii
lage of Taiban, N. NJ. on the Belen
cutoff of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway. "Billy got his" in
a prairie shack, which still stands
half a mile west of Taiban, on the
south side Of the track. It is point
of interest to travellers. and every day
trainmen are asked to point out Bill
ly's house. 1t is said that the shack
has not been occupied since the late
but not lamented Billy fought his last
fight. With the passing of Billy the
Kid, and the construction of the Santa
Fc railroad new Mexico rose in its
might and put an end to the hold up
and gun business which long had
flourished in the territory. New Mex
leo now is as orderly as Vermont, and
tie people of the territbry will forget
the bad man and his days, so soon
as the magazines will permit them
to do so.

JUDGE RULES that
HUSBAND IS "BOSS"
MASSACHUSETTS JURiST REM
DERs EXHAUSTIVE OPINION
ON THE SUBJECT

Springfield. Mass, July 1.-These
precepts for the guidance of wives
and husbands in cases of difference
over household economies were laid
down by Judge Charles l.. Long in
the separation case brought by Mrs.
Edith Marsh against Henry D..
Marsh, assistant treasurer of the
Savings Bank:
"The husband is absolute lord and
master of the exchequer" He is en-
titled to his meals at any hour he
wants them. "He may select such
food as he chooses. If he wants one
food and his wife another, the hus-
bands decision goes. A servant -
whom the husband objects must be
discharged" Finally the man who
pays the bills and not the woman, is
boss. Judge Long advised the
Marshs to patch up their differences.
Marsh left the court room wreatbed
in smiles. Mrs. Marsh did not in
dorse the courts opinion, and said so

Big FINANCIAL settlement
WEALTHY BANKER
PROVIDED LITERALLY FOR
DEFENDANT

Denver, July John w. Springer
was today granted divorce in Judge
George w. Aliens division of district
court, from Isabelle Patterson Sprin-
ger. The charge was mental cruelty.
Mr.. Springer, who is a millionaire
banker of Denver, and formerly well
known in Illinois, where his father
was a congressman for a number of
OF years, brought suit for divorce fol
lowing the Staying of Balloonist Syl-
vester Louis Won Phul and George E.
Copeland by Harold Frank Henwood

developments of that tragedy bringing
in the name of Mrs. Springer as an
alleged source of enmity between Won
Phul and Henwood
The hearing today in Judge Aliens
chambers was brief and no notice of
the hearing had been given Mr..
Springer appeared with his attorney,
A. M. Stevenson, who filed a com
plant in which he alleged only men
tai cruelty. Daniel B. Ellis, attorney
for Mrs. Springer, fled a general de-
NAL of the allegations.

Mr.. Springer was sufficient to sus-
tain the allegation of the complain
ant and ordered a decree.

er having effected a settlement. BY
its terms Mrs. Springer receives SIS,
900 in cash, diamonds and other

merce commission on its own motion.
Evidently in anticipation Of this ac-
tion by the commission, practically
all Of the companies, with the excep-
ton of the Long Island Express COM
pany, late yesterday afternoon filed
new tariffs, which are believed to
materially reduce rates.
1t was said today that it would re-
quire several months to compare these
rates with those now in effect. It
was announced, however, that the fill
ing of the new rates would not affect
the investigation in any way. This
investigation will be one of the widest
i'll scope ever undertaken by the COM
mission and not only will be conducted
as to rates but will include the prac-
tees, accounts and revenues of the
verious companies.
More than year ago a number OF
the leading commercial organizations
of the country petitioned the commits
sion for a general investigation into
the rates and methods of express COM
panies.
The proposed tariffs which are to
become effective on August 1, are to
tt be included in the inquiry institut-
ed today by the commission. If this
inquiry should show that the reduc
tions are not in the opinion Of com.
mission sufficient to meet the require
ments of express commerce, they un
doubtedly be further reduced.
