From Coast-to-Coast by Air.

Another aviation record is established

When he started, on the 18th of Septem-
Der there was much doubt of his ability
TO finish. a competitor had started east
ward to try for the same prize short
time before, and after flying brilliantly
for q day or so he had come to grief in
the Sierras. Rodgers persevered and kept
working his way westward, attempting no
spectacular flights and trying to break no
speed records. lie profted by the i'll for

detour TO avoid the mountains. thus
stretching his route out to 4.231 miles.

SUICIDE A PRIVATE AFFAIR
SAYS ACACEMY Of MEDICINE

The present decadent condition of
the press of the United States is often
mentioned. There is hardly daily
issued which is an honor to this cen
tury. Much of the news" is such as
might better be left unpublished. The
papers make domestic scandal and
divorce popular, as if considered high
ly respectable. They publish the de-
tail of a robbery, or a murder, as ii
the criminal were to be admired for
his skill. It is true that the people
demand such "news?" We doubt it.
'1n conclusion, we as defenders of
the health and morals of the communi-
ties request the press of America to
refrain from further publication Jof
such affairs. We ask the editors to
mentally place themselves as members
of bereaved families, and to consider
if in making such publications they
are doing as they would be done by.
"If, however, the members of the
press are still skeptical as to the fact
that they are now accessories to
crime, we suggest that they assist in
the study of the conditions. We sug-
gest that in each city the papers agree
to refrain from such publication for a
month Then that all simultaneously
publish an account of one such case,
placing the account upon the front
page, with suitable headlines. Again
refrain from further publication of
such cases for a month In the mean
time, let them keep accurate statistics
as to the cases and methods, with the
dates, in the territory covered by their
patronage, and compared with similar
periods under present conditions. We
suggest that these data be sent to the
officers of the academy as basis for
further study. If the results show a
direct relationship. further persistence
in the publication should be recognized
as criminal"

ROOSEVELT KNEW
OF HINES STORY
Committee viii Allow Lorimer's coun.
sell TO Question Motives of Officials
of Harvester Company.
BY Associated Press.

@A1aCNAN%eNN
Washington, D. c., June 24.-The
scope of the Lorimer investigation to.
day when the senate committee de-
cided to allow Lorimer's counsel to
question the motives which might
have prompted any official of the In
ternational Harvester Company to OPP
pose the Lorimer advancement. That
gave the Lorimer counsel great lati-
tude in attacking the statement of Mr..
Funk, of the international Harvester
Company, that Edward Hines had ask
ed the company to contribute ten
thousand dollars toward hundred
thousand dollar fund for Lorimer's
election. Attorney Henry for Lori
mer, referred to this statement as a
creation.
That Theodore Roosevelt has known
since last fall of the story of how
Hines is alleged to have asked Funk
for $4,000 for the Lorimer fund was
testified to today by Herman H.
Kohlsaat, publisher of the Chicago
Record-Herald. Kohlsaat said he told
the story to Roosevelt just before the
Hamilton Club dinner at Chicago. 1t
was on this Kohlsaat said, that Roose-
welt based his action in refusing to at
tend the dinner until the Lorimer in
vitation was withdrawn. Kohlsaat
further testified that he had told the
story to Senator's LaFollette and Root
by letter.

FIGHT FOR v|N|TA
PLUM IS RENEWED
C. 3. ROGERS of Tulsa is in Washing
ton Urging Appointment of Wal
len For Postmaster.

washington. d. c., June 24.-Post-
master e. e. Brown of Oklahoma City,
who has been in Washington for sew
eral days on business with the post
Office department, has also been try
ing to prevail on Representative Dick
T. Morgan of the second Oklahoma dis
trict, to recommend his reappoinrment
for another four years. Mr.. Morgan
gave Mr.. Brown no assurances that
this would be done but reiterated the
statement made by George H. Dod-
son, also an applicant for the Okla
homa City postmastership, made last
winter, that no recommendation would
be made until the next congress.
Representative Morgan is playing
safe and by holding up the appoint
ment of postmaster for the largest
city in Oklahoma until after the next
congressional elections, hopes to get
the support of all the applicants and
their friends for reelection to the
SlXty-tnlrd congress.
Another Oklahoma postofice fight
that is also warming up is the opposi.
ton that is developing against the re-
appointment of Postmaster JOS Fl.
Butler at Vinita, who has held the Of
fee for two terms and is seeking
reappointment for the third time At
torney G. B. Rogers of Tulsa, who
formerly resided at Vinita, was in
Washington this week urging the ap-
pointment of S. e. Wallen, promin-
ent merchant of Vinita. The chances
are, however, that Butler will be re-
named by President Taft for another
term, especially in view of the fact
that his record as postmaster has been
entirely satisfactory to the postofice
department. 1t is said that major
ity of the patrons of the Vinita post
Office favor the reappointment of But
Ter, which is another strong poine in
his favor.
Senator Gore has as yet not With
drawn his opposition to the confrma-
tion, by the senate, or Walter Fergu-
son, recently appointed postmaster at
Cherokee, Okla, although it is ex-
pected that he will soon agree to his
confirmation. If congress adjourns
without the senate taking any action
in Ferguson's case, it is understood
that he will be given a recess appoint
ment and take charge of the Cherokee
Office
The senate has also failed to con-
firm the appointment of John Banker,
to be postmaster at Kingfsher, Okla.
Bankers name went to the senate
some months ago but so far Senator
Gore has succeeded in holding up the
appointment.

DECLARES HINES ASKED
HIM FOR CONSTITUTION

Washington, D. c., June &c. S.
Funk, general manager of the Inter
national Harvester company, was ON
the stand today before the senate
Lorimer investigation committee. He
told how Edward Hines, of Chicago,
asked him for ten thousand dollar
contribution toward the hundred thou
sand dollars for Lorimer's election.
He said Hines came to him with
story of what it had cost to "put Lor-
inner over down at Springfield and
said if the ten thousand dollars con-
tribution could be raised reimburse
ment would be accomplished. Hines
was present during Funk's testimony.
