WON HOT MAYORALTY FIGHT

The hottest political campaign in
the history of Philadelphia came to
an end in the election Of Rudolph
Blankenburg for mayor.
The campaign really began months
previous to the election, when Will
lam S. Ware, a contractor. announced
his candidacy for the Republican nom-
nation AID was beaten by Geo. Fl.
Earle, who had the support of United
States Senator Penrose. This some
what split the Republican ranks, for
the fight over the nomination left
several sore spots. B~lankenburg's en-
try into the race, representing the in
dependent Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, intensified the interest in the
campaign.
There are few better known citi-
zens in Philadelphia than Rudolph
Blankenburg, who has been fighting
in the reform ranks for thirty years.
Mr.. Blankenburg spent $3.50, accord
ing to the itemized account of his
election expenses filed. He did not

FLEW ACROSS THE COUNTRY

The longest fight ever made by an
aviator was that completed by Cal
braith p. Rodgers, who landed on the
Pacific coast after a trip by the a.:
route across the country. Rodgers
left the Sheepshead Bay race track,
New York, and when he reached Pas
adena, CAL. he had travelled a distance
Of 1921 miles, being 40 days in COM
pleting the journey. He met with q
number of mishaps on the way and
his machine practically had to be re-
built several times on the long Jour-
ney across the continent. Hls actual
flying time was three days and ten
hours. He travelled at an average
rate OF 81 miles an hour while his
machine was in the air. The daring
aviator had many n~erve-racking expe-
riences on his journey.
Rodgers Is q newcomer to the field
Of aviation. He became a pupil of the
Wright brothers at Dayton, Ohio,
only last July. His first exhibitions
Of consequence were made during the
meet held in Chicago during Septemb,

ITALIAN DENIES BUTCHERY

General Caneva, having been re-
quested by the Italian government to
give some explanation regarding the
charges Of brutality and alleged
slaughter of unarmed Arab women
and children in Tripoli replied as fol-
lows:
IF reproach may be made of us, 1t
is only for our exceeding indulgence
and ~benevolence toward the natives.
A full demonstration Of this is the
order and declaration which advised
the soldiers to treat the Arabs on
friendly terms, respecting their ira
ditions. 1t was a treacherous surprise
and many soldiers were shot, the am
bulance corps of the Red Cross was
attacked and the sick and wounded
were horribly killed in the town by
shots fired from roofs. Women cried,

diers were surprised and m~assacred.
