Rodgers Completes Trip From

Aviator Is Undaunted, However, and
Continues Flight After Time Limit
on Prize Expires-ActuaI Flying
Time For Distance of 1921 Miles Is
Eighty Two Hours and Four Min
utes, Establishing New Record
Pasadena, CAL, Nov. 6.-Aviator
Calbraith P. Rodgers, who started on
a prize trans continental fight from
New York Sept. IT, virtually finished
his journey here Sunday, soaring into
Pasadena at 4:04 p. m, an in so do
ing broke all records for distance. He
made the twenty mile trip to Long
Beach, ending on the oceans edge,
today.
Although the fight consumed forty
nine days, Rodgers flying time was
only 81 hours minutes, the distance
being 4291 miles.
The plucky aviator was delayed by
three wrecks, neoessitating practi-
cally the rebuilding Of his machine
each time, before he reached Chi
cago, and when he arrived at Kansas
City it was announced that the time
limit on the prize had expired.
Undismayed, he determined to fin
ish the flight, and kept to his sched-
ule with remarkable regularity,
crossing the continental divide in Ari-
IONA with ease and reaching Pasa-
dena a short time later.
Rodgers performance is one of the
greatest achievements ever accom-
plished by any aviator, irrespective of
the fact that new worlds record was
established.
He demonstrated that cross country
flights of practically any length are
possible, that the strain on the avi-
ator Is not as great as In exhibition
work and that weather is OF but small
Importance in. aeroplane travel.
In the last three weeks Rodgers
flew every day but five, on three of
which he was held up for repairs, one
for a Texas norther and one that was
devoted to rest. Stormy weather was
responsible for the loss of only two
day throughout the entire trip.
Rodgers was twenty-one days in
reaching Chicago, less than one third
OF the entire distance, the remainder
being covered in twenty seven days.
When Rodgers arrived at Kansas
City he was informed that the time
limit on the prize had expired. This,
together with the many mishaps
which had befallen him, would have
discouraged an ordinary man, but
Rodgers signified his intention Of fin
ishing the trip.
His actual flying time was much
better than that of the fastest New
York to Los Angeles limited train,
which consumes over four days in the
trip.

the beach at the foot of Cutler street,
Winthrop. He was divorced two years
ago after threatening the lives of his
wife and her mother.
Mrs. Jaeger went to Germany to
visit her mother and returned last
June. She was married to Frank ].
Strasburger, Jr., in this city, June

Immediately after the ceremony.
About week ago Jaeger, who is
said to have been at attache in the
office of the Spanish consul in Chi
cago, went to Winthrop and hired a
room in the house of Mrs. Nellie A.
Moore, directly in the rear of the
house in which his former wife and
children lived. Almost Immediately
he called at Mrs. Strasburger's house
and told her, through the speaking
tube, that he merely desired to be
near and see his children.

requested permission to see the chill
