 He covered the 133 miles from Elknart, Ind, to Toledo with only one stop and in the flying time of two hours and 56 minutes.

In th= last lap of the days run he whip ped up such speed as hardly to be visible for longer than minute at any one angle. The 33 miles from Pettis- vile into Toledo was run in fifty minutes including 8 delay for starting and time lost in circling around the city in search of >lding place. Ills arrival here was as exciting as was his trip over northern Indiana and Ono. Steam whistles and thousands s of people on top of office buildings greeted him. All the way in he had been gliding up hill" to get good view of the town, he said.
 When sweeping low to read the names of the railroad stations great crowds who had come in for miles around frantically yelled for him to come down. Some brought bouquets and lunches for the aviator.
 Before Atwood whizzed into v'ew with his machine the telegraph or fees were kept busy with inquiries as to his whereabouts. Whenever two minutes elapsed without word from him, an impatient message went over the wires, ''Nan you give Us any news of the big bird?,

GRAND TRUNK RAILROAD
WILL SPEND $50, 000, 900
Pontiac, Oxford q Northern VIII BE
Bought and $s5o,ooo Spent For
Block Signal System.

LANSING. Mich. March 22.-At a
hearing held before the state railroad
commission this morning the western
division of the Grand Trunk railroad
was authorized to issue a mortgage
OF $50. 000. 900 for the purpose OF ex-
tending and improving the service and
10 permit the western division 10
purchase the Pontiac, Oxford Il
Northern branch from the Canadian
division.
In the petition the plans for expend'
ing this immense sum was carefully
outlined. The company Will have
jurisdiction over the expenditure of
$23 100000 and the remaining $1,000
600 Will not be used without the CON
sent OF the commission. Since the Gre
alton OF the commission and the act
Of the legislature giving IL supervision
over public service corporations this
Is the largest mortgage that has ever
been approved by IL.
One OF the principal features Is the
fact that the Grand Trunk western Is
planning 10 install block signal At
cost OF Ss50000 This will extend
over all oil the companies lines In
this state and has the unqualified au-
prevail OF the state railroad commIs
sion. Under this system danger OF
accidents is practically eliminated.

commonly called, the suit now pend

the railroad commission endeavored
to learn the ownership of the road in
order that the twocent fare law
might be enforced, but at hearing
held In Pontiac. IL was declared that
a majority OF the stock was held by
Charles NJ. Hays as trustee for Lon
