Leaky Gasoline Tank Com.

Reaching New York
CIRCLES VERY NEAR GROUND
Passes Over Amsterdam, Sche'

Thick Haze.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Albany, Aug 23.-With 1876 miles OF
his 1.165-mile flight from st. Louis to
New York to be covered, Harry N. At
wood today landed at a point just
south of Castleton, after flying 65
miles from Fort Plain, in one hour
and AZ minutes. He made the trip
with but one stop, necessitated by a
leaky gasoline tank at Glen, near
Amsterdam, and will continue on his
way to New York at o'clock this
afternoon.
Flies Near Ground.
Atwood's flight this morning was
made within 300 feet of the ground.
The air was thick with haze and
there was a light Southwest wind,
conditions being about the best for
flying since Atwood has been in New
York. Taking his course by the New
York Central tracks for the greater
part of the distance, Atwood passed
over Amsterdam, at S:16, Schenec-
tady at s:37 and Albany at 9 o'clock,
reaching Castleton, seven miles south
of Albany at l9:12 and circling about
in search of a landing place. He
alighted at 9:20 and was met by sew
eral of his representatives, who had
made arrangements for his fuel sup
ply.
Crossed Hudson at Albany.
From Schenectady, he left the rail-
road tracks and headed directly to
Albany. AS soon as he came in sight
of the city, he turned to the south.
west, and flying at height of about
300 feet skirted the suburbs and
crossed the Hudson river, steering
directly for Castleton.
Shortly after his arrival at Castle
ton, Atwood announced that he would
await the arrival of pontoons for his
machine and probably would not start
for New>York until about o'clock.
Atwood's pontoons, which were
shipped here from Fort Plain, were
sent to Castleton in an automobile.
They are made of aluminium and are
to be fastened to the two sides of the
machine. They hold about 60 cubic
feet of air.
In Manhattan Tomorrow.
1T will take at least three or four
hours to adjust my machine" said
Atwood. "My plans are undecided.

ADVANCING IN PRICE.
Rise Of Three Cents Per Pound in
Last Sixty Days by Packers
of Kansas City.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Nexican)
Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 23.-An in
crease in the price of beef, due, it is
said, to the summers drouth, has ar
rived. The wholesale price of the best
grades of beef has jumped three cents
here in the last sixty days.
Prices are still on the upgrade and
F. w. Robinson of the wholesale beef
department of Armour's plant, said
today he was unable to tell when the
advances would stop.
Pork as well as beef is on the ad-
vance. Inferior beef may be bought
now at about the same price as sixty
days ago, but the packers say there
is light demand for the cheaper quail
ity.

Fatigue
REVIEWED BY PRESIDENT TAFT
Forty-Fifth National Encamp-
ment of Grand Army at
Rochester, New York.

(By Special Leased wire to New Mexican)
Rochester, \. Y, Aug. 23.-The fast
fading ranks of the Grand Army of the
Republic gathered in Rochester for
the forty-fifth national encampment,
passed in review before President Taft
this morning. AS the veterans en-
deavored to keep step to the music,
they presented sight that stirred the
hearts of thousands of spectators to
pity. Scores of the old soldiers could
not stand the strain and dropped out
before the parade reached the Presi-
dents reviewing stand in Washing
ton Square. The parade halted at
frequent intervals to give the veter.
ans opportunity to rest.
Reviewed BY President.
President Taft, on arrival, was es.
corted by the Twenty-ninth U. S. In
fantry through the main streets.
Bombs were fired at intervals during
the press of the presidential automo-
bile. Those in the reviewing stand
with the President included Adjutant

Still Mighty Host.
Not in several years have the Grand
Army veterans turned out in as large
numbers as for todays parade. More
than 25,000 had registered up to last
night and early morning trains
brought in additional Grand Army
posts. The main parade began to
move as soon as the Presidential pa.
rade reached the reviewing stand in
Washington Square and President
Taft had taken his seat.
Taft Guest Of Dunn.
After reviewing the parade, Presi..
dent Taft was driven to the residence
of former Senator and State Treasur-
er Thomas B. Dunn. Tonight, the
President will attend the camp fire at
the convention hall and address the
veterans.
At the conclusion of the services,

at the New York Central station. He
will leave Rochester at S:55 p. m.
A Mild Sensation.
The first business session of the ma

will be held. A mild sensation was
created by the charge that General Nc

BRITISH RAILWAY COMPANIES
ARE HEAVY. LOSERS
Decrease of Half Million Dollars in
Weekly Receipts of London
& Northwestern,

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexlcan) }
London, Aug. 23.-Progress toward
settlement of the labor troubles at
Liverpool was made today when the
chairman of the tramway company re-
instated number of strikers on his
own responsibility.
Dockmen Still Out.
The dockmen are still out pending
a settlement with the Tramway men
but the railroad men of Liverpool are
resuming work in increasing num-
bers. The trouble at Liverpool re-
suited from the refusal of the munich
pality to re-instate 250 strikers. The
employees who had remained loyal
throughout the strike threatened to
quit work if the 25O men were taken
back.
Men Return to Work.
Today's action of the chairman of
the tramway company in taking back
some of the strikers will lead, it is
believed, to an early agreement by
all parties.
Enormous Losses.
The weekly traffic returns testify
to the enormous losses resulting to the
railway companies from last weeks
strike. The London and Northwest
ern railways report alone shows a
decrease of $5o5,O00 in receipts for the
week.
