PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 5.-When
Lincoln Beachy, the young daredevil
who described figure Fights over
Niagara's swirling rapids few weeks
ago, circled city hall tower at 4:47
this afternoon he completed one of
the most remarkable cross country

Hight last year--one hour, fifty min

ed in today's race, but refused to
compete because of the velocity OF the
wind and the fact that his aeroplane
was new and untried. His place was
taken by Ely.
Within five minutes after taking to
the air at Governors Island, the
aylators had circled Greedy Square, at
Broadway and Sixth avenue and we're
headed direct for Philadelphia over
the Jersey meadows. They were fly
Ing at about height Of / 900 feet, but
the rattle OF their motors was plainly
audible to- the thousands filing the
streets below and a mighty cheer
went up. The fight was without in
cident until New Brunswick, N. j.,
was reached. Near this place both
Ely and Robinson were forced to
alight. Beachy did not come to
earth until forced to descend at Tren-
ton, N. j., to replenish his gasoline.
Robinson made a second stop at
Trenton, hut Ely finished the journey
without further trouble.
Mayor Reyburn was first to greet
the victor when Beachy stepped from

ION the outskirts of this city. He de-
3ciared the trip to have been the most
wonderful in all his experience. Both

WHY CAPITAL FEARS
TO SEEK philippines

"Gite the Filipinos their independ.
-ence and within six months the United
States will have to interfere in real
earnest, Then the Philippines will come
under the United states laws as an
American country, pand. then you will
see rush to invest American capital
in the archipelago"
O. A. Steven, the representative in
the Philippines of the sugar planters
association, expressed this opinion of
the Philippines question yesterday. He
has just returned from Manila, where
he has been making his headquarters
for the past year recruiting Filipinos
for service in the Hawaiian Islands.
Mr. Steven states that at present
there is too much Spanish law in the
Philippines. There is yet too much of
the old order of things. The Filipinos
frequently express a desire for indie
pendence, but Mr.. Steven is certain
that half year after they had achieved
this the various tribes would wage war
upon each other and it would be
Visayan against Tagalos and Moro, and
so on, with the result that civil war
would prevail. IT is just such a situa-
ton which keeps out American invest
ments.
The country is rich for the investor,
says Mr.. Steven, but the investor
wants the political conditions right be-
fore pouring his dollars into the coun-
try.
