FLIES OVER NIAGARA FALLS
Altman Beachy Circles Cataract In
AeropIane, Skins Surface Of Rap
ids and Lands Safely.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, June 2s-With
the whirr of his biplane motor drowned
in the roar of the cataract and man
and machine momentarily obscured in
spray and mist, Lincoln Beachy, the
California aviator, after clrcling above
the falls, swooped beneath the arches
of the upper steel bridge and down
the gorge almost to the whirlpool.
Rising again between the precipitous
sides Of the lower river, Beachy scared
to the Canadian side, where he made
successful landing.
It was the first time bird-man had
cut through the air currents and mist
clouds and leaping foam caused by
Niagara's falls and rapids that have
lured so many adventures to their
death.
Throngs on the American and Cana
dian shores gazed with fascination at
the aviator as he rose to a height Of
about 1000 feet, twice circled above
the cataract and then made the long
swoop toward the narrow passage I'M
der the bridge. His biplane came rae
ing over the Horseshoe fall so low
that he was lost to view for an instant
and then winged close to the water.
1t seemed almost to skim the water as
he made the bridge passage.

Even Into Committee Room at

field Ull.) Testimony.

Washington.-A decided sensation
was caused in the Lorimer investiga-
ton when Clarence s. Funk, whose
story precipitated the present in
quiry, disclosed just before leaving
the stand that since he told the story
to the Helm committee he had been
followed day and night by private de-
tectives which he intimated were en-
ployed by Edward Hines. the Chicago
millionaire lumberman.
Funk also said he had received
many threats over the telephone and
in anonymous letters. and it there
upon developed that the committee
Of the United States which is con-
Quoting the Investigation has been
annoyed by similar sinister warnings.
CONSERVATION was caused among
the members of the committee when
Mr.. Funk declared, upon cross-exam
ination, that the detectives who had
been haunting his footsteps had fol
lowed him to the committee room and
had taken their places among the
spectators.
Mr.. Funk admitted that he knew
the name of one Of the detectives and
could produce him before the com
mittee. The investigation was brought
to temporary halt while the commit
tee retired and had consultation
with the witness. This conference
lasted an hour, during which time Mr.
Funk made an effort to find the de-
tective Failing in this, the hearing
adjourned, and 1t is expected that the
detective will be summoned before
the committee.
Mr.. Funk's interesting disclosure
came after long and rather dull ses'
sion in which he repeated the test!'
mony he gave the Helm committee
at Springfield and told again the story
of how Edward Hines approached him
and asked him to contribute $4,000
to help make up the fund Of $100,oO0
spent In getting Lorimer elected by
the Illinois assembly.
Mr.. Funk did not remember men
tioning the names Of Roger Sullivan
and one Of the Weyerhausers to H.
H. Kohlsaat, to whom he related his
conversation with Hines.

ROOT AMENDMENT is LOST
Provision Proposing to Change Paper
Section In Reciprocity Bill
Defeated In Senate.

Washington.-With even the for
mality of a record vote the Root
amendment to the reciprocity bill
passed into oblivion.
In the first test of strength on reci-
procity the senate defeated the paper
trust proposal by viva voce vote. A
roar of noes, told the story.
President Taft expressed great sat
isfaction over the result. The friends
OF reciprocity accept the result as a
plain argury of what is to follow when
the vote is taken. Scores of amend
ments await to be disposed of yet,
and there are still more to be intro
duced. They run the entire gamut of
tariff revision. But all amendments
will be resolutely voted down.

ALASKA COAL CLAIMS VOID
Cunningham Filings Are Oisal'owed
by Land Commissioner Sanctioned
by Secretary Of Interior Fisher.

washington.-The famous Cunning
ham Alaskan coal land claims, through
which it has been alleged that the
Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate planned
to extend it's vast interests In Alaska
and to control one Of the most valu-
able coal fields in the world, were
finally disallowed by the, department
of the interior.
Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the
interior, having approved the depart
ment's decision, as handed down by
Fred bennett, commissioner OF the
land office, the last door is believed
to have been closed to the Cunning
ham claimants. Their attorneys have
threatened an appeal to the United
States Supreme court but such an
appeal can be based only on some
point OF law involved and not on
the findings of fact as announced by
the department
The Cunningham claims have been
in the public eye longer than two
years. They brought about the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation by con-
gress and the dismissal from the pub
lie service Of Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot, Louis R. CLAWS, chief Of
field division in the land Office. and
several minor officials. Both Pinchot
and CLAWS were dismissed for insub-
ordination incident to their attacks on
