ATWOOD SEEKS
WORLDS RECORD
n (
Reaches Lyons, N. Y. After Making
l04 Miles Without Stop.
FOUR MILES IN THREE MINUTES
Has Now Completed Almost Three.
Fourth of His Flight From Boston
to New York-PIans Another
h Trip This Fall.

Lyons, N. Y, Aug. 21.-Nine hun
dred and thirty miles from st. Louis,
his starting point, Harry N. Atwood,
the young Boston aviator, who is
fast approaching the worlds long dis
lance record in his flight to New
York, landed in a field at Lyons af-
ter flying 1O4 miles from Butfalo
without a stop.
Ascending In Buffalo at $3.50
o'clock, Atwood climbed to q high al
titude, turned eastward, and hit by a
brisk wind from the west, shot over
towns and villages at speed which
kept railroad telegraph operators
busy reporting his progress. He
alighted In Lyons at 5:S1 p. m, hay
ing covered the 104 miles in two
hours, and II minutes. '...
In one instance he went four miles
In three minutes, and on reaching
Rochester, So miles from Buffalo, he
Uent around the city SO fast that
people standing on office buildingS
could not get more than glimpse Of
him.
Atwood is now 335 miles from New
York, having made almost three
fourths of the 1,265-mile fight.
Atwood will break the worlds long
distance record If he reaches a point
on the Hudson south of Albany be-
tween Greendale and Rhine Cliff. II
he reaches Rhine Cliff, he will have
flown LIT miles, or just 13 miles
more than the present record OF
1,164 miles, won by European avia-'
tors. His flying time, he expects, will
be ten days, as compared to 30 days
taken by the present record holders.
If he reaches New York City the Bos-
tonian, in distance, will have broken
the worlds record by 101 miles
It was between East Palmyra and
Newark that he made the best re-
corded time of the day, covering the
four miles between these two points
in three minutes. Getting in toward
Lyons, Atwood found he had not
sufficient gasoline to carry him on to
Syracuse, SO he picked out a clear
field on a hill near the town and de-
scended
Soon after he returns to Boston, At
wood said, he would prepare for a
trans-continental flight this autumn
probably from Los Angeles to New
York. He said he thought he could
make the $500 miles in 15 days, TAX
ing a southern course to st. Louis and
coming north by way Of Cincinnati
to New York state.

CABINET MEMBERS WHO OBJ
JECTEp WON BY ARGUMENT.
President Turns Down all Revision
/ Measures Including Farmers
Free List.

Washington, Aug. 18.-FollowIng 9
special meeting OF the cabinet-tha
fourth held this week-the last re
naming doubt of President Tafts at
titude on the Wool bill was swept
away. Mr.. Taft's veto message might
20 to the House, 1t was announced
One or two cabinet officers who
heretofore have held to the opposition
that 1t might be wiser for the Presi'
dent to sign the Wool bill, we're said
to have been entirely won over to
Mr.. Taft's views.
II became known after the meeting
that the President not only would
WELD the ak on the Wool bill but that
the Cotton bill with the proposed
amendment revising the iron and steel
schedules, and the Farmers free list
bill would suffer the same fate. 1t
was indicated that any tariff revision
bill at this session would be vetoed.
The Wool bill reached the White
House shortly before noon. Members
Of the cabinet, 1t is said, have been
giving great deal Of attention 70 the
political situation growing out Of the
present program Of tariff revision.

UNION LABOR CHARGES DENIED
Coercion Warrants Were Issued as
Asked, Says Kansas County
Attorney.

Independence, Kan, Aug. 21.-Re-
plying to an open letter sent to Gov.
Stubbs by Guy E. Miller, organizer
for the Western Federation of Miners,
Mr.. Holdren, assistant county attor-
ney has sent letter to the governor
defending himself against aspersions
cast upon his official conduct. He was
charged with being reluctant to bring
action against Caney smelter bosses
under the coercion act.
Mr.. Holdren says that on July 20
Neil ]. MCGEE asked him to issue war
rants against certain persons in
Caney charging violation of the coer-
cion act, but McGee could not to
his own knowledge swear to any
thing. He presented affldavits from
a Mexican who had been some time
before sent to the reformatory on a
statutory charge and these facts
naturally led to caution, he says,
However, he issued the warrants and
the cases are now pending In the
district court. Also he dictated let
ter to the state labor commissioner
giving the facts as stated to him.
and asked for all the assistance the
commissioner could render. The
coercion act is a new one and this
is the first case so far as known here
to be brought under 1t.

THE AWAKENING
OF THE FARMER
SedaIia Agricultural and Commercial
Meeting Gives Food for Thought.
PRODUCERS SHOULD ORGANIZE
Missouri Farm Expert Says California
Fruit Growers Example Should
be Followed in Market
ing Of Products.

Sedalia, Mo-, Aug. us. M. Jor'
dan, director Of farmers institutes un'
der the state board of agriculture, was
introduced to the convention of the
Central Missouri Industrial and Com
mercial association as the man who
had doubled the corn crop Of Mis-
souri, this year by telling the farm
ers of the state how to dry farm the
corn during the drought and save 1t
until the rains came.
Mr.. Jordan began by saying that the
farmers must get together as the
fruit growers of California did and
market their product where and when
1t was more needed. He said that in
1910 the state husked 6O,000,000 bush
els more corn than in 1909, but the en-
tire crop was sold for $1,000 less.
That was a monster problem.
'lou 80 into any town LoW and
you can buy California fruit for less
tnan ever before. The reason is that
the California fruit growers have Dr.
C2aized and now ship their products
where the market demands 1t. They
make more money now from their
orchards than they ever did and we
buy for less.
"The same plan must be worked
out by the farmers. They must or
ganIze under intelligent direction to
market their product where and when
1t is needed"
Mr.. Jordan told the association that
It must try to induce the farmer to
stay on the farm and teach him how
to produce more and then try to find
him a better market.
He urged that the agricultural de-
partment Of the state university be
given more money. The universities
of other states and private enterprises
were enticing the experts Of the Mis-
souri, university away as soon as they
showed extra talent. Prof. Demaree
had Just gone into the service of an
implement house for double the money
the university could pay him. An
other professor who was getting $1,5OO
at the university had been offered
$500 to go to New Mexico.
1--WE have grown 10 bushels more
an acre in Missouri this year by know
ing how to get the better OF the
drought" said Mr.. Jordan. you are
agitating the building Of a highway
across the state and three routes are
competing for 1t, but this increased
product Of 10 bushels of corn to the
acre would build 20 rock roads clear
across the state.
The association adopted resolutions
asking the railroads to aid in de-
yeloping Missouri by extending their
lines to areas that are without trans
portation, and asking the newspapers
of the large cities to lend their aid
by telling Of the resources Of the
state.

THEY WILL BE BUSINESS MEN
Two Young Lads Who Are Displaying
the Wisdom Of Presidents Of
Railways.

To modernize an old prophecy, "out
Of the mouths Of babes shall come
much worldly wisdom" Mr.. X. has
two boys whom he dearly loves. One
day he gave each a dollar to spend.
After much bargaining, they brought
home wonderful four-wheeled steam.
boat and beautiful train of cars.
For awhile the transportation busi-
ness flourished, and all was well, but
one day Craig explained to his father
that while business had been good, he
could do SO much better If he only
had the capital to buy a train OF
cars like Joe's. His argument must
have been good, for the money was
forthcoming. Soon after, little Joe,
with probably less logic but more
loving, became possessed Of dollar
to buy q steamboat like Craig's. But
Mr.. K, who had furnished the addi-
tional capital, looked in vain for the
improved service.
The new rolling stock was not IN
evidence, and explanations were vague
and unsatisfactory, as is often the
case in the railroad game at which
men play. 1t took a stern court OF In
quiry to develop the fact that the rail-
road and steamship had simply
changed hands-and at a mutual profit
Of 100 per cent. And Mr.. X, as he
told hiq neighbor, said It was worth
that much to know that his boys
would not need much Of legacy from
him.-Lippincott's Magazine.

Dsylong conferences at the Board

president Of the board of trade, that
the only way that will now be an ef

II was at this point that Premier As
Quith intervened and offered to ap
point Immediately royal commission
which should investigate and report
what amendments, IL any, were de
sirable for the concillation plan.
Mr. Asquith made the same propo
sition to the railroad managers, ad
ding the confident hope that the gov
ernment might rely on both sides tC
give all possible assistance to the pro
posed commission. The representa-
lives Of the unions refused the proffel
Of the premier to appoint the com
