Fort Plain, n. Y, Aug. 22.-Another
remarkable spin through the air on his
aeroplane flight from st. Louis to New
York brought Harry n. Atwood, the
aviator. from Belle Isle. five miles
west of Syracuse, to Fort Plain late
this afternoon and landed him 95 miles
nearer his destination. He is now 1865
miles from his starting place and ex-
actly 200 miles from his proposed
aighting point in New York.
From Belle Isle, where he assembled
at i.55 P. NJ, Atwood sailed around
Syracuse u minutes later, turned the
nose of his biplane eastward and
skirting over the Indian battle
grounds of colonial days, in the twi-
light descended into the Mohawk val
ley, allghting in field here at 7.e5 p.
NJ. His actual flying time today was 2
hours and 10 minutes and was made
without a stop.
THE air WAS as calm as a pool
said Atwood, most of the time l kept
my bands in my pockets or read a
timetable"
Atwood believes he possibly may
make New York tomorrow, but more
probably on Thursday because. on ae-
count of the rough and wooded country
from Albany down the Hudson river
he may be compelled to descend in
different places or effect landings IN
the water.
The 27-year- old aviator who already
in nine days has set new pace for
aerial navigation In America, is conf
dent he soon will have new worlds
record for distance. He lacks just 50
miles to be at the international record
now held in Europe. The ninth day of
his flight Atwood finished without a
mishap, although he flew most of the
way in the twilight and all of it in "A
dense haze. He flew over 35 towns
and cities, including Syracuse, Rome.
Utica, Herkimer and Little Falls. Con-
sidering the delays incidental to start
ing and finishing after he was in the
air he kept up to schedules between
towns equal to a fast mail train.

gan, County Prosecutor Turner and
Rodney j. Diegle, former sergeant-at-
arms of the Senate, who was convict

nouDced that Diegle would make
full confession of what he knows or
alleged corrupt practices in the last
Assembly. Diegle promised to include
in his confession information that

said, may lead to clues, which are like

PRESIDENT TAFT VETOES
THE COTTON REVISION BILL
The Democrats Have Made Record in Say

Employes-=President Taft Leaves
Capital for Beverly, Mass.
THE ADJoURNM ENT.

Washington. Aug. 22.-The first ses-
sion Of the SD Congress ended today
and Immediately the exodus of mem
bers began President Taft joined with
several hundred tired legislators in
the hegira, and tonight Washington.
comparatively speaking, was deserted.
Every outgoing train bore senators
and representatives on their home
ward journey after an extraordinary
session that lasted over 10l days and
set the liyeliest pace of any legislative
session in years.
The adjournment was featureless de
spite the strenuous activity that had
gone before. The President had vetoed
the cotton tariff revision bill. just as
he had vetoed its two revision prede-
cess0rs. the wool and free list bills.
The veto went only to the House in
accordance with custom, and there its
reception was marked by Democratic
laughter and Republican applause.
Democratic Leader Underwood amid
demonstrations, formally thanked the
few Republican members who voted
with tie Democrats to pass the tariff
revision bills. Democrats ran across
the aisles to shake hands with the Re
publican Insurgents.
rb. a,,aari,a 80 ,on,dina as 5asl,s
on the Democratic side was protract-

Underwood announced that as the
Democrats did not have the tWo-thirds
majority necessary to pass the bill
over ne Presidents veta he yanId
merely move The nrtntino, of the veto
and aeeomnanving naners and their

The House agreed to this fixed course.
With the committee the matter wilt
rest until the whole subject of tariff
revision legislation is renewed at the
regular session OF Congress, Whlch
will convene at noon on Monday
Dec. L.
Everybody was IN u happy mood iii
both Houses, but the usual vaudeville
proceedings that feature the few min
utes following an adjournment of the
House for years were missing today
The nearest approach was the singing
of Aud Lang Syne' by group OF
younger members. The galleries IN
both the House ana senate were
ero"ced.
President Taft spent half an hour 1t
the Capitol making it social affair as
Well as business one. Occupying the
Presidential room in the rear OF the
Senate chamber he was given an en-
thusiastic ovation by senators OF all
shades of political complexion, as well
as by representatives who drifted over
from the House to meet him. Vice
President Sherman was among tHeh
and one Of the first to shake hands
The President later busted himself
with the task of signing the llth hour

sented.

Milo. Me, Aug. 22.-Charles Austin,
the mill watchman. was placed on
trial on the charge of murder today
before Judge Hiram Gerrish of the
Piscataquis municipal court for the
killing OF Nicholas Grimshaw. the Lake
View mill fireman. whose body was
found in Scheodie Lake. He had al
ready pleaded not guilty to the charge.
fwenty-six witnesses were summon
ed by the State and sworn in an effort
TO prove the charge, Up to noon but
two of them had been examined. These
were a. b. Clark, manager of the
thread mill in which the two men were
employed, and DR.. Lewis c. Ford. tie
medical examiner, who made the pre-
liminary examination of the body and
later conducted a more thorough at
topsy with other physicians.
If the case is not dropped for lack
of evidence the hearing will continue
through tomorrow.
Manager Clark seemed a better wit
ness for the defence than for the State.
He stated that he did not know the
men ever had quarreled and that Aus
TIN, lne uetenGdnt, Was Il SlTdlSnlIOF-
ward, industrious young man, who
never neglected his duties and he never
had any trouble with him.
DR.. Lewis {. Ford underwent rigid
cross examination, but still adhered tc
his statement that Grimshaw was un-
conscious before he struck the water,
that the wounds on his head were iIi-
flicted before he entered the water and,
in his opinion, he was struck down
with some instrument of the nature Of
a sandbag or something soft with sand
in it.
He stated that he based his state
ment on "a years OF actual experience.
He admitted that foaming at the
mouth is caused by drowning. but as
serted that other injuries will cause
it. He declared there was not water
enough in the mans lungs to have
caused drowning.
Tire defence was expected to attempt
to prove that Grimshaw was drowned
accidentally that he went out and
tried to step aboard a steamer but fell
and struck his head and that the un-
dertow carried his body some 90 feet
to the point where it was found

Maplewood Park, Bangor, Me, Aug
SpeciaD.-Tuesday was Chill
dren's day at the opening of the 2Sth
annual exhibition of the Eastern Maine
State fair and there was an unusually
large number of little folks on tho
grounds all day long from the time
the gates were opened until the last
piece of fireworks had been set off, The
management allowed all little ones un-
der y years of age TO be admitted free
and 1t was no uncommon sight to see
crowd of young folks coming in with
lunch boxes and baskets prepared To
take in all the sights. But there was
a large number Of the Older ones on
the grounds during the day so that
taken all in all the first days attend
ance was we'll up to the average first
day with about 1000 people on the
grounds.
During the afternoon a strong wind
came up making il impossible for Prot.
Bennett to make a flight in his BIZ
plane. This was expected by all who
were familiar with the conditions nee
essary for successful flight and there
was no grambling because Prof. Bon
nett did not go up. IF conditions are
right Wednesday he will make at least
one flight and possibly more.
While the races attracted the ma
jority OF the older people the young
folks were eongregated most of the day
about the attractions along the mid
way taking in everything possible and
.;., t,a ul "
ballyhoo spielers began to work.
Down in the auditorium where there
are attractions for the ladies many Of
the fair sex gathered to inspect the
handiwork of others. There is fine
exhibition of fancy work in the build
ing this year while the art exhibit is
fully up to that of years past. All in
all the indications are that this years
show will prove to be a record breaker
in more ways than one.
During the races the vaudeville pro-
gram was given on the stage and on
the track in front of the granastand,
Every act met with applause and was
of a high order. The work Of the per-
formers from Tompkins' Wild West
appeared to give satisfaction. especially
the football game on horseback be-
tween two teams.
The evening show was not very we'll
attended, owing to the cold wave
brought on by the wind However,
those who remained for the entertain
ment were repaid for in addition to the
vaudeville show there was a fine dis
play of fireworks given by the Ameri-
can Fireworks Company of Boston.

Ice at 500 Interferes with Navigation
on Lakes.

X. :. Burke Houghton agent for the
Chicago and Duluth and the Port HUI
ron a. Duluth lines. stated this morn
ing that no boats could be expected
In Houghton until next week because
OF the large amount of ice that has ac-
cumulated i'm the 500 river. He stated
that boats are now awaiting the open
ing of this passage and would leave
Chicago as early as possible.
Ii was expected that several boats
leaving Duluth this week would pass
through Portage Lake but they win
now go around the point because OF
the absence of any freight in Hough-
ton. 5l5 tons OF copper are lined up
on the Copper Range smelter docks but
no shipping orders have been received
so far. Navigation through Portage
Lake is possible as the ice i'm Big
