RAILROAD LOBBY TRIES TO KILL
 SHELTON LINE
Holds It Up on Technicality In Senate-Judson Saves the Day and Bill Will Come Up.
(From Our Special corres.)


 Hartford, Aug 23-The Senate today cept the amendment to a railroad fare bill whereby the charter of the pro posed Shelton & Bridgeport Traction Company shall be considered by the Senate.
 When the matter came to the Sen ate today, the bill having passed the House by an overwhelming vote yes- terday, Senator Marsden, chairman of the Railroad committee, raised a point of order that the amendment, which is the bill incorporating the company, was not properly before the body, on the ground that it was not germane to the resolution
 His contention was upheld by Lieu tenant Governor Blakeslee. Senators Judson. Donovan and Fenn contended that the Lieutenant Governor was wrong in his ruling Subsequently the Lieutenant Governor ruled that it would require a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules ard allow the mat ter to be received, his contention be- ing that it was new business. It was pointed out by Senators Donovan and Fenn that there was no express Sen ate rule providing that a two-thirds vote should be required to suspend the I diCS OI lilC DSAdtc anu luc dDSCIACc of any express rule that the ordinary parliamentary procedure should apply and that simple majority of the Sen- ate could suspend the rules.
 The Lieutenant Governor ruled oth- erwise and an appeal was taken from his decision, the first since the session opened. The decision of the Lieuten- ant Governor was upheld. Then Sen ator Judson made a vigorous speech, declaring that it was an injustice to attempt by the employment of such technicalities to deprive the Senate of an opportunity of considering the ques- tion as to whether this trolley char ter should be granted or not upon it's merits
 Finally the Senate receded from it's previous position and allowed the to be received. It was then ordered on the calendar for print ing. The railroad lobby was very active in seeking to keep the matter from coming before the Senate. The residents of Huntington, Shelton and Nichols were present in large numbers and propose to use every honest en- deavor to procure a favorable vote from the Senate.

HUDSON KICKS
 AT BEING LEFT
 FROM DISTRICT
Doesn't Want Stratford Frozen Out of Fourth Congressional Baliwick.
(From Our Special Corres.)

Hartford, Aug. 23-Senator Stiles Judson when asked today his opinion of the proposed congressional redis- tricting plans submitted by a major ity and minority of the committee. said that he is unadterably opposed to the majority plan which would take Stratford out of the Fourth Congress sional district. He said that Strat- ford does not care to be tied up into Litchffleld county.
 He said that the minority report, in his viewpoint, ie preferable to the other. The majority report eliminates both Judson and Marshal Hawley from the Fourth Congressional dis trict, as Hawley's town, Brookf1eld, like JrEison's town, Stratford, are moved from that congressional district by the majority report.

Special from United Press.)

Castleton, N Y, Aug. 23-With a worlds record for a crcss-country flight only 45 miles away, Harry N. Atwood, following his little jaunt of 67 miles in the early hours of today prepared to put the record to his credit before he slept. tonight. Starting from Fort Plain at 7:25, the aviator brought his big biplane to the ground on a beau- tiful elevation overlooking the placid Hudson river. near this village at SIS. He made no attempt to make speed, being content to sail along at a trifle more than 30 miles an hour, varying his altitude from 15O feet to about 800.
 Atwood was compelled to descend in a gully at the little village of Glen, near Fort Plain, because of leak discovered in his gasoline tank. It re- quired a couple of minutes to make the repairs and he was aided by To- cal band enroute to a picnic in getting the biplane up on hill so that he could restart. He was down only five minutes.
 Atwood kept away from both Schnec- tady and Albany, the two big cities on his route, flying over their sub- urbs. At Albany. big copper pontoons were waiting for him and after he dISHleu LeTG, I04 In1lcS ITOIu HIS llH~ ishing point, New York, he telephoned to have them sent here. He said that he would start about four or five o'clock, this afternoon, and probably alight at Rhinecliff, 45 miles farther south, where he will spend the night. At Rhineclif he will have covered 1,177 miles or 13 miles more than the worlds record for cross country flight of 1,164 miles made in the recent Ger man aerOplane race
 There was nothing sensational in the flight today, but it served to demon strate what careful man with good machine can do. Atwood has made time He is still flying in the machine with which he left St. Louis. None of the parts has been replaced and barring accident, Atwood will reach New, York in this machine. In Eu- rope, in all of the recent flights, avia- tors have smashed their machines and there have been few instances where the same machine was used through out. Where this occurred, important parts had been replaced enroute
 Atwood will be the guest of W. O. Parkinson while here and he planned to- visit the local cemetery where sew era1 of his relatives are buried.
 Since he left St. Louis, Atwood has now flown a total of 1,132 miles in 25 hours, 13 minutes, actual flying. This however, was his tenth day in the air by reason of the stops necessitated by elaborate program.
 To a. United Press representative, shortly after he landed, Atwood said:
 "I am now waiting for the pontoons which are being brought from Albany. It will take about four hours to ad- just them and while I may go short distance, later in the day, I shall prob- ably wait and get a good start early tomorrow and make the flight to New York reaching there early in the day.
 "The trip from Fort Plain, today, gave me some trouble. I was obliged to avoid the valleys but on the hill tops I had no difficulty

ATWOOD IS OFF.

Fort Plain,- N r., Aug. 23-Deter- mined to finish his great flight from St. Louis to New York today, Harry N. Atwood turned the nose of his big biplane into the air at 7:25 this morn ing There was a whir of wheels. a snont of his powerful engine and one minute later he was 200 feet in the air headed east by south, the Hudson river his objective point. Flying high and with his machine under perfect control, Atwood was soon out of sight.
 The daring aviator was up at day. light and, aided by volunteer assis- tants, went carefully over his ma chine Not bolt, nut Or wire was found to be displaced and when he had filled his gasoline tank Atwood an- nounced that he would pull out as soon as the early morning mists had cleared away sufficiently to permit him to steer a direct course.
 AS he settled himself in his seat, Atwood said that he had no set plan. He explained that he had wasted too much time along the road already and that he was now determined to make the New York flight without regard to any of the cities along the route.
 T am going to establish new rec ord for croSs-country flying and am tlred or the hlppodroming' he eJacu- lated. '1 will keep going as long as can"
 There was a lazy wind pulling out of the east as the big machine leap ed into the air but it was not strong enough to straighten out the smoke from the tall factory chinneys in the The weather was ideal and as Atwood disappeared on the cas- tern horizon he resembled a great bird of prey.
 He kept his machine on a level plane about 250 feet up and flying straight and true at a rate of speed estimated at about 45 miles an hour. passed over Rotterdam Junction, 34 miles from this place at SIS.
 All along the tracks of the New York Central the aviator's appearance was greeted with whistles from factor ies and locomotives and even at that early hour hundreds of people were out to cheer his progress.

G. H. Purvis, OF Atlanta, was
prominent visitor in Pensacola yester-

at the San Carlos and when seen there
by a Journal representatives last
night he gave out some interesting in
formation regarding the section o.
country. traversed by the railroad he
is connected with.
1.-TWO years ago." said Mr.. Purvis.
"our road went through almost will
derness, but today there are thousands
of people all along the way. Towns
have sprung up in a few months and
there are at least dozen towns now
that are rapidly growing and are sur
rounded by acres of farm lands which
are being cultivated by newcomers
This land is fertile and productive, the
farmers growing large crops of ali
kinds of vegetables and staple CROP.
Cotton, corn and other similar crops
are planted everywhere.
THE bay country is coming to the
front. Now we have IT feet Of water
over the bar at st. Andrews and when
the work which is being done now is
completed there will be % feet. Deep
water comes up to the wharf at Pan
ma City and the other bay towns are
well situated. All of this country Is
being filled up with new settlers and
is possibly growing faster than any

being planted IN large quantities. Re
Gently saw four carloads at one time
going to parties at Panama City. but
they were planted across the bay on
the Calhoun county side.
Besides the work the railroad and
other development companies ar.
doing, ex-senator w. H. Lynn, of New
York. has bought 100000 acres OF lard
and has cut it into five, ten and twenty
acre farms. which are being sold to
those wishing to make their homes
there. Many are arriving daily and
during the next six months it is stated
that 1000 new settlers will arrive 20
remain permanently"
Mr.. Purvis said that the railroad was
enjoying a fine business and was con-
stantly on the increase. There is a
branch road running out from Millvil!e
connecting with their road and that
other branch roads are under con-
struction.
The Atlanta & st. Andrews Bay
Railroad will soon cross st. Andrews
bay and will be, extended to st. joe.
St. Joe, according to Mr.. Purvis, is
already making preparations to become
an excellent town
There is an apparent awakening in
all of the West Florida countless said
Mr.. Purvis, land when one county is
developed it is helping the others.
Soon this section will outrival the east
coast for this is an agricultural and
stock raising section and has these
advantages besides unsurpassed cl:-
matte conditions. Prosperity is coming
by leaps and bounds and West Florida
and West Florida ports will soon be-
come the greatest in the south.j'
Mr.. Purvis Is in the city on bus
ness relating to his various interests
and will probably remain for several
days.
