New York, Sept, 26. Frank
H. Hitchcock, postmaster gener-
al of the United States, qualified
as an aerial mail carries on Long
Island late today. Carrying sev-
nty-eight pounds of mail, the
postmaster general took a seat
beside Captain Paul Beck of the
United States army, in the lat
ter's aeroplane at the Nassau
Boulevard. Without the slightest
mishap the two made a seven
minute flight to Mineola, where
upon signal, the postmaster
general dropped the mail to one
of Uncle Sans mail carriers.
Mr.. Hitchcock was enthusiastic
over the trial.
Another feature of today's
meet was a flight by Lieutenant
T. Dewitt Milling, U. S. A. who
broke the American record for
carrying a passenger, remaining
aloft for one hour, fifty-one
minutes and 80 3-4 seconds.

AS the big day was advertised for
Sunday and a number of our peo-

for such things without taking
the Sunday for it, several who
would otherwise have gone stayed
at home. We do not say that this
is the reason all did not attend,

would have attended had it been
held during the week. With the
big day, including a big dance at

they merely stayed away,

chairman of the house commit
tee on territories and author OF
the Flood resolution which gave
New Mexico statehood, will be
in Santa Fe Oct, Sd, during the
Democratic state convention and
will spend several days in New
eXico.
This information was contained
in a telegram this week to Hon.
Summers Burkhart, secretary of
the Democratic state centrek
committee and a lifelong friend
of Mr.. Flood. 1t was realized by
the Central committee that the
people of New Mexico would en-
joy meeting personally the man
who proved sucn a steadfast
friend to New Mexico during the
session of Congress just closed,
and an earnest effort was made
to get him to come. Added to
the request of the committee
were personal letters from the
Democrats who met Mr.. Flood
in Washington, The appeal was
successful as the following COM
munication from Mr.. Flood
shows:
Appomatox, Va. 9, 26.
Regret can net be at Taos on
28th, but will be in Santa Fe
Oct. 3rd, and will spend a
few days with the Democrats
Of New Mexico. Am glad to
hear Democratic prospectsln
New Mexico are SO good.
The Democratic party in
Congress looked after New
Mexico, gave it's people
statehood, and redeemed the
pledges of this government
to it's Spanish American cit
liens. This was accomplished
in spite of a presidential We
to, and bitter opposition
from the standpat Republi-
cans in both branches of
congress.
H. D. Flood"
Mr.. Flood is making this trip at
a considerable sacrifice because
the long extra session left him
worn out physically while his
personal affairs needed his at
tention, yet so great was his in
terest in New Mexico that he
gladly accepted the invitation to
come. He was asked to come in
time for the meeting at Taos on
the 28th, but found it lmpossl-
bic to do so.
Hon, VIM. Sulzer of New
York, chairman of the house
committee on Foreign Affairs,
and at the beginning of the ex-
ira session prominently men
toned for the position of chair
man of the territories committee
will also attend the Santa Fe
