NEW YORK, Oct 9.-The Long
Island deputy sherlfs undertook to
preserve the peace Of the Sabbath by
preventing Earl L. Ovington and Miss
Mathildc Moisant, two well known
ayiators. from making flights at the
Nassau boulevard field on Sunday.
The results was interesting.
Although the official meet of tho
Aero Club had been declared off, fol-
lowing a decision by the Supreme
Court that Sunday meets at which ad.
mission was charged were violations
OF the law. ovington and Miss Mois.
ant decided to make flights on their
own account. Miss Moisant flew
from the Nassau boulevard field 10
her hangar at Mineola, and Ovington
started on his proposed flight to the
Pacific coast with package Of let
ters, having been delegated by Post.
master General Hitchcock as the first
transcontinental mail carrier.
Miss Molsant landed on the prop
erty Of her brother, Alfred Moisant
and Immediately a trio Of, deputy
sheriffs tried to arrest her. ~
Miss Molsant's brother said his sis
ter had entered her automobile jus
after allghting from her monoplane
and that the deputies attacked he>
chauffeur and severely dubbed hin
when he refused to allow them Il
take the woman aviator from the au
tomobile. In the fracas Miss Mois
ant had her wrist cut and was muci
bruised and shaken up. The deputie!
had no warrant to make the arrest.
Ovington was forced to come dow
near Belmont park when his mono
plane nearly capsized In n squall
The deputies had lost track of him
and he escaped the embarrassment
which befell Miss Moisant.

Too little attention In the past has

EARLY ISSUE PROBABLE.
Treasury Certificates for Reimburse
ment of Reclamation Fund

One feature of the issue of $4,000, 600
reclamation certificates. which the
Treasury will probably put out this year,
has been radically changed. Congress
authorized the securities to reimburse
the reclamation fund for advances made
to the Interior Department for projects
in the west
Treasury officials had decided that an
issue of the securities to reimburse the
Treasury could be issued only after all
the advances had been made to the Sec
dietary Of the Interior. Under that con-
struction of the law 1t would be i'm
possible 10 estimate what the required
amount might be-
The conclusion has now been reached.
however. that the Secretary of the Treas
ury may issue the certificates In his
discretion at any time, and place the
money in the reclamation fund. This
decision opens the way for action under
the authorization. at any time the Treas
ury deems propitious for issue OF recla-
nation certificates. bearing per cent
interest
AS nearly as can be estimated. the
reclamation fund will be practically eX-
hausted by this years operations, and
will have to be reimbursed by means of
the certificates before winter.
