VEDR|NES VICTOR
IN BIG AIR RACE
French Aviator Makes 1O5 Miles
an Hour.
BUT THREE OTHERS COMPETE
Maurice Provost Takes Second Place,
Covering Course in 1913: 1892
winners Time,
1:1o:59S5.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Racing under a
blazing sun at a rate of more than
105 miles per hour, Jules Vedrines,
worlds champion airman, won the
Gordon-Bennett international trophy,
and will carry back to France the en-
blem significant of the aviation classic
Of the age.
His time for 200 kilometers, 124.S
miles, was 1 hour 10 minutes 1885 sec
onds.
Maurice Provost, another member
Of the French team, completed the
course in 1 hour Is minutes 1882 sec
onds.
No other contestant completed the
course. Andre Frey, the third member
of the French team, came to earth on
his twenty-third lap, but he was al
ready hopelessly beaten by Provost,
who flew low and steadily and made
a beautiful race.
For the United States, Max Lille
saved this country the ignomy of not
even having fier on the field.
At the last moment, when all of the
other American entrants had decided
not to compete because of the terrific
speed made by Vedrines, Lille mount
ed into the air.
A moment later he was headed for
the course, flying high above Provost
and Frey. The crowd was electrified
by the news that Uncle Sam was at
least entering the race.
Vedrines flew in his own pet Deeper
dussin 140-horse power monoplane,
with the exception of the engine the
same general type of machine in
which he won his world-famed Paris
Madrid race.
Provost also flew Deperdussin. but
it was equipped with a 100-horse pow
er engine, considerably less than that
used by Vedrines. Frey used a 100
horse power Henrfot monOplane.
Demonstrating the fact that he can
quickly come to high speed, Vedrines
completed the first lap of a little more
than four miles in 1924: 81, and at once
the hopes of the Americans began to
flicker. Except the American defend
er, which was withdrawn two days
ago, they knew that no American ma
chine could possibly equal such speed
Flying so low that he at times ap-
peared to be scarcely above the line of
the steel pylons marking the course.
he flew steadily and consistently.
Only four times did he consume more
than two minutes and twenty-four sec
onds in rounding the course.
Every other lap ranged from 2:20:2 %,
the fastest, to 2:24:57, the first lap.
This means that the famous French
airman was soaring around the course
at a general speed considerably more
than 100 miles per hour-faster than
the fastest express train.
Though Provost was driving ma
chine of forty less horse power than
that of Vedrines, he drove beautiful
race, and several times it appeared
that he would beat the mighty We'd
rines.

Once Abode of Great People.

The ruins of Macchu Pichu, a city
probably built by the Megalithic race,
who preceded the Incas, were discov-
cred by Hiram Bingham on his 1911
expedition to Peru. The ruins are on
an almost inaccessible ridge, 1000
feet above the Urubamba river. They
are of great beauty and magnificence.
and include palaces, baths, temples
and about $50 houses. The huge
blocks of white granite, some of them
IL feet long, were SO carefully cut that
they match perfectly. Though no NOR
tar or cement was used to hold the
stones together, the walls have with
stood the elements for at least 1000
years.-The Argonaut

ARMY FOR
MEXICAN INVASION
u. S. Soldiers in Readiness for
Order to March.
AMERICAN HIT BY STRAY SHOT
Rebels start Attack on Ojnaga-War
Department Rushes More Troops
to Patrol international
Boundary.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE tensity
Of the situation along the Mexican
border was reflected here by the con-
tinuation of preparations for any
emergency, principally the possibility
Of President Taft calling a special
session of congress to pass upon the
question OF armed Intervention.
With the border patrols strength
ened by additional cavalry, and other
troops practically upon their arms at
posts throughout the west, ready to
move at an hours notice to supple
ment the forces on the Arizona and
New Mexico frontier, war depart
ment officials declared they had the
situation well in hand for the pres
ent, but were apprehensive OF the
next move Of the rebel general, Sala-
Ear, encamped within sight Of the
United States troops, protesting he
meant no harm, but believed to be
planning another raid into American
territory.
A late report from Maria, Tex, says
that Ojinaga, Mex, opposite Preside,
Tex, is being attacked from two
sides by 400 Mexican rebels. A bull
let from the Mexican side struck an
American at Preside, piercing his
hip. 4 party of United States officers
left Maria for the scene of the en-
gagement.
General Sanchez is in command of
the federals defending Ojinaga
A dispatch to the state department
said large force of federals had ar
rived at Cananea and that American
lives and property were safe.
Army officers hesitate to believe
that the Mexican government can
throw forces into the state of Sonora
sufficient to put down the uprising
there with any promptitude. All the
reports point to increasing activity OF
the rebels under General Zapata.
While the situation is being OBJ
served with extreme care, the war de-
partment is disclosing no signs OF
nervousness. All preparations have
been made to meet any emergency,
and It is felt that there are now
enough troops along the international
line to patrol the border.

INCREASE IN STOCK
AWARDS FOR 1872
Wisconsin Cattle Breeders to
Compete for Cash Prizes.
BADGERS WINNERS IN 1911
COWS in State Capable of Producing
Good Mix and Owners Are Expert
Dairymen premiums Offered by
Holsten-Friesan Association.

Madison.-Last year the Holstein-
friesian association of America dis
tributed $4,000 in prizes among the
breeders of the country who had
COWS which, while under official test.
produced large amounts OF milk and
butter fat. This year, by a special
vote of the members of the associa-
ton, this premium fund will be in
creased to SIS, 700. This added ap-
preparation has permitted of more
and larger prizes being offered and it
is expected that still larger number
of breeders will enter cows in the
competition.
In the past Wisconsin breeders
have won large number of the most
coveted awards, and it is entirely
probable that they will continue to
pocket" a goodly share of this prize
money. They have the COWS capable
OF producing large amounts of milk
and butter fat, and, being expert
dalrymen, know how to feed and care
for their herds in order to induce the
maximum production.
The list of Wisconsin breeders who
last year were awarded cash prem
lums on account of COWS or heifers in
their herds making satisfactory rec
ords of production Is as follows:
Fred Pabst, Oconomowoc; Montague
q Bridge, Lake Mills; G.. nj. Davis,
Corliss; S. B. Jones & Son, Water
town; August Knospe, juneau: w.

pun; f. j. Bristol & Son, Oakfield; r.

George J. Schuster, Mukwonago; H.
p. Giddings, Sheboygan Falls.
Seventy prizes ranging from $40
for first to SIS for the SEVENTEEN
premium are, this year, offered for
COWS five or more years old which
complete the seven day test with the
necessary records. The same amount
is offered for heifers under two and
one-half years Of age which have sat
isfactory qualifications.
Twenty-six prizes ranging from
$40 to SIS are offered for COWS five
years of age and over and an equal
number is. provided for cows under
two and one-half years which estab-
lish' 40 day records

Candidate for Governor.
Syracuse, N. Y. Sept AFTER one
OF the most remarkable demonstra-
tons in the history of political con-
ventions, Oscar S. Straus, former am
bassador and cabinet officer, was
unanimously nominated by the New
York Progressives as their candidate
for governor
Mr.. Straus' nomination came about
under circumstances that were not
only unexpected, but dramatic. The
former cabinet member, acting as the
conventions permanent chairman, was
about to entertain a motion from for
mer Lieut. Gov. Timothy L. Woodruff
to expedite the roll call on the names
Of State Chairman William H Hotch-
kiss and Comptroller William A. Prem

man Straus looked puzzled. McGee,
who got his name in the Indian coun-
try by riding broncho into camp
with suspenders used as reins. fought
his way to the platform and with
ringing speech turned thunderous
bowls of derision aimed at him into
wild outbreak of enthusiasm in
which every man and woman in the
hall Joined, and placed the name OF
Mr.. Straus in nomination

The DEVILS Beauty.

Several correspondents have writ
ten to us about the origin of the
French phrase "Beaute du diable."
The phrase, which is current not
only in English but in German,
comes from the French proverb:
THE devil was handsome when he
was young" and 1t means that even
the ugliest person may be attractive
in the bloom Of youth. 1t is used IN
France to prophesy that the beauty
which a certain young person has is
of a kind that will quickly fade, but
in this country 1t is used a thousand
times with no idea of its meaning
where it is used once correctly-Col-

FREAR LEADS BY SIXTEEN
Unofficial Returns from Tenth Dis
tr.ct Show Small Margin for
Secretary of State.

Madison-Unofficia returns from
Buffalo county give the vote on the
Republican nomination for congress-
man as follows:
Ingram, 369; Gilbertson, 173;
Frear,' 1856; Twesme, 129. This gives
Gilbertson a lead of but seventeen
over Frear in that county. A dis
patch from Eau Claire gave Frear a
lead of thirty-three outside of Buffa-
10 county. According to these later
figures Frear has a lead of but six
teen. The second choice count will
probably determine the result.

NEW SPELLING IN ENGLAND
Deliver Lectures Throughout
the Country.

A campaign in favor of spelling re-
form is to be conducted in London and
the provinces In the autumn and win
ter, the London Daily Graphic states.
William Archer, under the auspices
of the Simplified Spelling society, is to
conduct lecturing tour on his return
from the east, and lectures will also
De delivered by many other we'll
known men throughout the country.
The lecturers will advocate the re-
form of what they regard as the pres
ent chaotic spelling" which they de-
clare is SO remote from pronunciation
that it is no guide to the English Ian
guage at all, and tends to degrade our
speech.
The society desire to fix a standard
OF pronunciation of the English Ian
guage throughout the empire.
1t has been stated that the English
people over seas, particularly in Aus
tralia and South Africa, are deviating
SO seriously from the general standard
of speech prevailing in the mother
country that the time might come
when visitors from these parts OF the
empire might fail to make themselves
understood in London,
Mr.. Tate, director of education in
Melbourne, has suggested several
spelling reforms to which effect has
been given In the official paper issued
by his department Discussions have
taken place and the council of public
education in Melbourne is addressing
a letter to the president Of the board
of education In London urging upon
him, in the interest of education, the
necessity of a general adoption Of
simplified reform In spelling.
