INTERNAL REVENUE MEN
GET Isl POUNDS OF OLEO
Three Elude Them, Leaving
Load of "Near Butter"

The local internal revenue officers
and j. W. Sinsel. government inspec-
tor, of New York, are today tracing the
oleomargarine makers who narrowly
escaped being caught Saturday after
noon in Harrison, when several shots
failed to stop the f%ugitives. Inspector
Sinsel had trailed the Wagon carrying
three men and a tub of oleomargarine
from Jersey City, and at Hamilton
street and Davis avenue, Harrison,
the wagon was halted and the three
men were seen to enter a house evil
IDENTIFY to deliver a package.
Inspector Sinsel and his aide o
possession of the horse and wagon and
a hasty examination showed that the
supposed butter was oleomargarine.
Seeing the inspector. the trio did not
come back for their wagon when they
left the horse. They broke and ran, the
government men chasing on foot and
firing several times. The three fugi-
tives escaped.
The wagon and oleomargarine were
brought to the Newark internal rev
nue. office and conflscated. The meal
butter weighed 151 pounds, and was
packed in an ordinary wooden box. The
wagon was of the type used by grocers
and had no marks except a few letters
in chalk on the side, which were not
discernable. The horse is a grey and
carried the only possible eclue to itf
owners with the letter "R" on the
blinds.

TAKES
SPEED PRIZE IN
LONDON FLIGHT
Flock of Eleven Birdnlen Cross
Channel Without
Trouble.

LONDON, July 3.-The first half of
the international Circuit aviation race
was ended at Hendon Park aerodrome
in Hendon, just outside London, to-
day. Andrew Beaumont, a French
man. made the speediest trip from
Paris to Hendon and was awarded the
London Standards prize of s12, 800. M.
Gilbert, another Frenchman, won the
Dover troph.- for the fastest passage
across the English channel.
Vedrines, Vidart, Kimmerling, Beau
mont, Valentine and Garmos reached
Hendon closely punched. /
DOVER. England, July 3,-Only by
making q cross-channel flight under
some extraordinary circumstance will
any aviator ever be able hereafter to
gain any particular glory from the
feat. After today the flight must be
considered an ordinary affair, for the
morning saw no less than eleven air.
men, contestants in the European cir
cult race, wing their way across the
channel and alight in Dover as easily
as a flock of birds might have done.
Moreover, one of the eleven, Renaux,
carried a passenger in his biplane.
a great crowd had surrounded the
landing place In anticipation of the
arrival of the birdmen. They had but
a short wait before Vedrines, consist
emily the leader In the previous. stages
of the races, drove his monopyane
into view out of a bank of fieecy
clouds thai hung low over the chan
mel. He made a circuit of the aero
dome and landed gracefully. The
flight from Calais had been accom-
plished in about half an hour.
The other contestants followed in
quick succession. Seven monoplanes
were almost punched, her came two
biplanes = and another m~onoplane
brought up the rear Everything went
in as ordinary a fashion as a race
horse meeting. There was nom of the
excitement that had characterized the
finish of the previous cross-channel
flights, nor were the aviators exhaust
ed. Instead they crawled from their
aeroplanes and calmly walked away
with friends, while their machines were
taken to the hangers to be oyerhauled
Soon after the last of the eleven
aviators landed the wind began to
freshen, and 1t was decided to start
Immediately on the next stage of the
contest-to Shoreham and thence to
London. The start was accordingly
made, and with the same precision that
had characterized the arrival at Do
yer. The machines left at two-minute
intervals, only one exceeding thai time
and that only by a few seconds.
