It was the old story of clever, anne
boxer pitted against hard hitting chit

SHIPPERS GIVEN NOTICE
To Govern Themselves According to
Conditions Made by the Strike.

New York, Aug. l5.-Eocal offices
of the Transatlantic steamship COM
panies and forwarding agents have
been advised to cut down the receipt
of consignments to the barest limits
on account of the labor disturbances
in England. For this reason the
Campania, sailing tomorrow, and the
Cedric which leaves Thursday, will
have light loads. No new orders are
TO be taken here except at the ship
pers' risk, with the chance that the
goods will be brought back to this
port.
Forwarding agents and exporters
here have informed their correspond
ents at Buffalo and other main points
that consignments should be detained
if possible, but in the majority Of
cases. shippers decided that it was too
late to stop carriage and took the
chances of having their shipments re-
turned.
The opinion in local shipping cir
Giles is that the strike comes at an un-
fortunate time and is likely to injure
the business of the year.

SCURVY TREATMENT
Given Atwood by the Aviation Com
mttee at Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-There was much
vehemence of language and gesticu-
latien at the aviation grounds todag
just before Harry N. Atwood started
on the second stage of his ST. Louis
New York flight. The dispute was be-
tween Atwood and Chairman Mudd of
the aviation committee, and it ter
minated only with the thrustng of a
certified check for $500 into the avia-
tors hands just as his big biplane
was starting. The trouble started
when somebody with a badge, but I'M
identified, told Atwood that he must
leave the grounds by $3.50 o'clock, or he
would not be allowed to start at all.
Atwood responded with heat that he
would start when he pleased. or some
one would get hurt.
This subject was scarcely quieted
when the air pilot was rendered a
check for $500 as a gift because he
landed here yesterday and started
from the aerodrome today.
Il landed here yesterday to please
the crowd, mostly. but / was prom
ised $1,000 for doing it." the birdman
cried, land want it."
A''-N iuilS udSe over lllIS punt COLI
tinued as the aeroplane was brought

was thrust into his hands and reject
ed, because it was uncertified. The
propellers We're whirring and half a
dozen men We're required to restrain
the machine while Chairman Mudd
did quick job of certifcation.
Fhe deck hands released their hold
and at 1923 the long distance aviator
arose. He winged around the pylons
snce for the delectation of the crowd
which numbered close to 100000 per-
sons, and at 3.31 shot southeast in the
direction of Michigan City. Beachey
was the only aviator to escort him.
and he returned after flying two miles.
Atwood's car was dragged from its
hangar by an automobile in order tina.
the aeroplane might have every drop
of gasoline and oil for actual flying.
Small American bags were attached
to the rear end of the trusses. deco
