SETTLEMENT MADE
FOR MANS DEATH

An out-of-court settlement has been
effected in the case of the death of
Charles H. Gibson, who was killed by
a Pennsylvania train at Centerville on
January IA, 1911, while attending to
his duties as assistant freight agent.
The company compromised for $500,
upon agreement of Jesse Gibson, ad-
ministrator of the estate The elder
Gibson, it is said, ran across the Penn
sylvania tracks near Centerviile sta
tion as passenger train was ap-
preaching. He stumbled over a stake
and fell to his death beneath the train.
The railroad company claimed no re-
sponsibility because he did not go over
the regular crossing. The settlement
was filed at the office of the county
clerk this morning.

(NatlOndl News ASSOClatlOn)
Washington, July 11-Aviator Har-
ry Atwood has arrived in Washington
but the last six miles of his journey
from Boston was made in an automo
bile from College Park, Md, where he
landed with his aeroplane at 6:10 a.
m. today. The young avitor, carrying
Charles X. Hamilton S passenger in
the latter's Burgess Wright biplane,
left Stemmers Run, MI, at 4:40 this
morning and descended at College
Park an hour and a half later
Our trip today was a pleasure the
entire distance" said Atwood on land
ing. I'VE skinned past Baltimore,
swung over Ft. McHenry and planned
to follow the B. &: O. railroad but mis-
took the Pennsylvania lines for our
route and came near missing College
Park altogether. We discovered in
time the mistake and flew across sew
eral miles of heavy forest before we
reached the government hangers.
Made Good Start.
"Our start could not have been bet
ter despite the fact we were in field
quite rough. The machine took the air
gracefully and soon reached a height
of 1900 feet. We had no trouble with
the machine or motor and could have
readily gone to Washington had we
desired. Our biplane is in perfect con-
dition and when our tank is filled we
will be ready on minutes notice to
finish the journey.
Before sundown we will circle the
Washington monument and land on
the famous Potomac park. I shall then
return to College Park and assist in
developing aeronautics in a military
sense"
When Atwood got here he went to
the Shoreham hotel to meet Aviator
Burgess, who has been waiting for him
here. Burgess meanwhile had himself
set out for College park to meet At
wood and the two missed each other
on the road Atwood later returned
having covered the 40 miles in slow
| time
This afternoon, if weather prevails
| Atwood will crown his air achieve
ment by flying the remaining six miles
of his 567-mile journey in circling the
| Washington monument and landing
| Atwood began his flight at Boston
about a week ago.

FAVOR AMERICANS
IN WAGERS TODAY
Harvard-Yale Team Expected
to Defeat the Oxford
Cambridge Team.
(National News Association A

London, July 11.-Ideal weather con-
Queens club grounds early today to
witness the fourth international meet
between picked Yale-Harvard and
Cambridge teams. The Ameri-
cans were strong favorites, odds of
5 to . being posted on them in the
betting territory. The Americans
chances were viewed by the sporting
fraternity as having materially
strengthened by the certainty that
Kelley, the crack quarter-miler of Har-
ward, would start. A trial yesterday
showed that he had entirely recovered
from his recent injury.
The American team came into town
from its training quarters several
hours before the time set for the
meet. They We're in charge of train
ers Donovan and Mack and went di-
rect to their quarters at the Queens
club. The English athletes also were
on the scene early.
All of the SO young athletes who
constitute the two teams appeared i'll
perfect condition. Their final prac-
tice was light limbering up exercises
INDUCED in yesterday afternoon, which
proved entirely satisfactory to their
trainers and both English and Ameri-
can athletic mentors declared their
men were thoroughly fit.
Practically the entire American col
ony in London turned out for the meet
and American coiors intertwined with
the Harvard crimson and the Yale
Blue blazoned from ali parts OF the
grandstands and field seats. The club
officials had hoped for a slight show
er to lay the dust on the grounds but
were disappointed. They had been
well splintered, however. and antici-
pated fast time in the track events.

AUTO ARMY CORPS
WAS IN RICHMOND
Four Machines for Signal
Work and Balloon De-
stroying Going East.

With the purpose of proving the
practicability of some recent discover
les in the use of the automobile in the
science of war, four regulation type
machines, in charge of officers and
graduates of the Northwestern Mill
tary Academy, in Illinois, passed
through this city enroute to Washing
ton. where demonstrations were held
some time in August before the heads
OF the war department with the idea
of offering the suggestions for adopt
ion in the United States service.
The party includes Major r. B. Dav-
idson, Commandant of the academy,
Lieutenant Frank l.. Beals of the reg
ular army, who was detailed by the
war department as professor of mill
tary science and tactics at the school,
Captain c. w. Groom of the Illinois
National Guard and thirteen of the ca
det officers who graduated from the
school this year. All are dressed in the
regulation army uniform. Two of the
machines, in charge of Maj. Davidson,
and eight of the party. left for Dayton
early today. while the other two ma
chimes were tied up here for repairs
until late this afternoon.
Machines Are Small.
The machines. whiCl are rather
small are equipped for field use at any
time Included in the equipment of
each car is wireless telegraph appar-
atus. electric signal devices. and L. S.
balloon destroyers, as we'll as many
other devices. The above three how
ever are the ones which the party will
demonstrate to the war department Of
ticials of their adoption for the regu-
lar army
The wireless apparatus is attached
to the side of each car. Each apparat-
us is so arranged that it can be raised
for signal work or lowered when not in
use or travelling. Messages can be
sent and received for a distance of
from twenty-five to thirty-five miles de-
pending on the character of the wea-
ther. When messages are TO be sent
a greater distance, a balloon is sent up
from the car with the wireless attach
ed. From the tests made the servicea-
bility of the apparatus has been almost
conclusively demonstrated. Nothing
like ii has ever been considered before
and no doubt the department officials

5000 people looking on from balcony
and floor seats OF the spacious armory
arena here this evening, the annual
meet of the joint 9th Regiment-Johns
Hopkins Athletic Association was run
off superbly. excellent competition being
ever present in the varied list of events
programmed. In officiating and manage
ment the affair was handled almost per-
fectly, and very few complaints were
heard from any quarter.
The point trophy went to Johns Hop
kins University. which carried off twen-
ty-one TALES. Virginia and Tome School
were tied for second place, each scoring
fourteen points. The work of the Orange
and Blue was excellent, considering that
only four of the southern track team
participated.
J. B. Hines of the 9Th Regiment was
suspended from the A. A. U. for pro-
testing too vehemently against de-
cision of Referee Thompson. The order
was issued at the request of Thompson

Games Before the Pennant Race Is On
What Are Teams Chances?

Well 1t gave the strongest OF its rivals
the hardest kind of battles, and It was
apparent that II McAleer had been
blessed with another good ball player or
two he would have been higher up In the
race at the finish.
On his showing last fall Cunningham
has added materially to the strength of
the intield. He is young, fast fellow
who looks as If he was a natural hitter.
1t may be that the team has not bettered
conditions at first base. and yet it Will
be no weaker there than it was. Con-
sidering tho fact that Dixie" walker
did not come up to expectations last
staff did fairly good work. Hughes is
one of the several pitchers who have been
added. and. barring accident. he will do
much TO help win games for the team
We have trio OF great catchers. and
that seems to be the one department
which should not cause McAleer the
slightest worry.
But that outfield is still an uncertain
proposition. Milan. OF course. fills the
bill. but the other two positions are
be that Lelivelt and Gessler. even though
all the youngsters fail, will have bet
ter season than they did last year, II
which event the team may not be as
poorly fortified in those positions as i:
feared.
There Is no reason for alarm because
Walter Johnson has reported himself g
few pounds overweight this spring. j
will prove beneficial to Johnson not t.
have done any pitching since the season
closed. Johnson would naturally take
on weight. for he is just coming to tina
age where he is becoming fully matured

C"EvEI LAND. Ohio, FcbIuar n.-Nap-
land fans do not expect Jim McGuire's
new Maps to win a pennant In 1911, but
they are banking on them for a first d.
vision berth. They are conceding the
flag to Connie Mack's frisky bunch OF
Philadelphia Athletics. but you can't find
one bug who figures the Maps lower than
fourth.
Really you can't blame the fans, for
did not McGuire's boys come down the
home stretch last season at a .6O3 clip?
Those kids played together like old tim
ers and they hit a regular pennant win
ming pace in the last few weeks Of the
campaign. Those same kids who did SO
we'll last fall are expected to repeat dur
Ing the 1911 campaign. They may not
play at a .6O6 clip. as that is regular pen
nant stuff. but they are figured around
500. The kids will have more experience
In big league ways and the pitching staff
should be bolstered up by the acquisition
Of several minor league stars.
