Exactly one hour from the time he
landed on the cruiser, Ely took his
seat in the machine and gave word to
let go. The aeroplane went down the
l3O-foot platform at high speed ,
dropped off the stern with a gentle
dip, and then rose rapidly over the
ships in the harbor. The start was as
perfect as the landing had been
Rising to height of 1000 feet, Ely

b. Ely flew twelve miles in an aero
plane, made a successful landing on
the cruiser Pennsylvania, and an hour
later arose from the ship and flew back
to Selfridge field, twelve miles south

he stepped from his seat after his re-
turn and was seized by the cheering
soldiers of the Thirteenth infantry
and hoisted on their shoulders. Il
think the trick could be successfully
turned nine times out Of ten"
1t was 10:45 o'clock when Ely left
the aviation grounds, swept over the
San DrunO hills and disappeared to-
wards San Francisco Meanwhile the
wireless advised the cruiser, at anchor
with the feet In the bay, that he
would make the attempt, and final
preparations were made for his re-
ception.
A wooden platform 1870 feet long
and 80 feet wide had been constructed
over the after deck of the ship. 1t
slanted gently aft and across the floor
were stretched ropes with 100 pound
sand bags attached, designed to be
caught by hooks on the lower frame

caution canvas barrier was stretched
across the forward end of the plat
form. Launches and ships boats
fully manned were put out in event OF
mishap.

RETURNS HOME
GATES HE HAS GIVEN THE MAT
TER OF RUNNING FOR CON-
cREss NO coNsIDERA-
TON so FAR.

STATE Senator w. Frank James. of
hancock. returned home today from
lansing after strenuous session OF
tha legislature, which has adjourned.
when seen this morning by a repre-
,ertative of The News and asked
about the mention of his name in con-
ncttion with the congressional race
an this district two years hence, Mr.
lanes stated he has given the matter
no consideration so far and for the
time being will drop politics and de-
vote his attention to private affairs
which have been more or less neglect
ed since his absence.
His boom for Congress was start
ed, he says, not by himstlf, but by
some of the newspapers, since which
time he has received many letters from
various parts OF the upper peninsula
offering him support If he should de-
eide to make the run for Congress-
mon Young's seat.
Senator James remarked he has
been accused by some of playing poll
tics at lansing with a view TO flu
turc political aspirations but denied
this allegation. Whatever he did at
Lansing, he declared this morning. was
purely on behalf of the people. Alto
gether he introduced twenty-five bills
some of these at the request of de-
partmcnts. this being the case viii
a., i,,e,,rn,,co r,ooc,troc Of which thare
were five. Anent the famous ID. u. r
bill containing an alleged joker, Sen
ator James stated he was asked tC
ont in the measure by a clerk I'm tho
state railroad commissions depart
ment, but as soon as he learned about
tho alleged joker made motion to Kill
the BILL which was done.
Concerning the upper peninsula two
cent fare bill he introduced, ant
which was passed by the Legislature
Senator James said the measure wa
the same law that is now in effect in
lower Michigan with the words uppc
peninsula eliminated. II affects onl!
roads that are earning $1,000 per mil,
or over. and will not apply to an,
railroad earning less than that, Xix
the Keweenaw Central for instance
Senator James declared the two-cen
rate in Minnesota, which has beer
declared unconstitutional, is unlill
that In Michigan because of the fac
that the Minnesota law affects all rail
roads, big or small, making no slip
ulation of earnings. For that reason
ne believes the Michigan law will b.
found constitutional If it is ever pu
to a test in the courts.
