AMERICANS STILL HOPEFUL
5ELLoYD THOMPSON EXPECTS
TO BREAKS RECORD THIS
AFTERNOON.

Chicago, Sept 9.-Jules vedrines,
driving a Deerdussin monopIane, was
the first contestant to start today In
the worlds aviation championship
race for the James Gordon Bennett H.
900 franc trophy. Although there was
considerable wind, vedrines refused
to delay his start. He soon reached
speed of 103 miles an hour He fin
ished the course OF 124.8 miles in 10
minutes 56.85 seconds. vedrines' av-
erage speed was about 1865 miles an
hour, almost but not quite equal to his
previous record. Vedrines completed
his spin before noon, spinning thirty
times over the Ala mile course as
smoothly as a swallow veers around
a church spire.
Hopes that America still may have
chance of retaining for another
year the James Gordon Bennett tro-
ply, which was won by Charles T.
Weymann at the Isle Of Sheppy. Eng
land, last year and which is the sym
Dol of world supremacy, are centered
in DeEsIoyu Uhomps0n Thompson
this afternoon will attempt a flight
in Niuport nonoplane. It is gener-
ally believed, however, that his ma
chine will be unable to exceed 20
miles. Uncertainty existed whether
any Of the other American contest
ants would be able to start.
The time, taken by laps, of Vedrines
run showed he kept up a fairly even
speed. In the first lap he made the
four miles in two minutes and 24.5S
seconds.
'T have won the trophy" exclaim-
ed vedrines when he returned to the
hangar. THAT is practically certain
There is no other machine on the
field that can approach my time, At
means much to France. Three times
before, France, which has taken such
a prominent part in aviation, has
seen the trophy captured by either
America or England Now think we
have it."
Major Samuel Reber Of New York.
chairman of the contest committee Of
the Aero Club of America, this after
noon conceded the trophy to France.
I'VE have not ghost Of a show"
he said. "The only question is which
one Of the Frenchmen will carry off
the honor. None Of our machines

IN PAYMENT FOR WORK
1T is PROPOSED TO MAKE REIM-
RuRsEMENT FOR coNsTRUc-
TIoN TO DATE.
AT AN EQUITABLE FIGURE
EXPERTS WILL DETERMINE WHAT
is PROPER AMOUNT 70
BE PAID.

Daniel A. CamfieId, president Of the
Camfield Development company, this
morning appeared before the board oi
trustees Of the Las Vegas land grant
and reiterated his offer to deed back
to the grant the land given him some
time ago as compensation for the con
struction of the irrigation project
north Of this city, provided the legal
action to recover his bond Of $780,
600 be dropped, and he be paid rea-
sonable amount for the work already
accomplished.
Mr.. Camfield was unable to state
just how much money would be re-
quired to reimburse him for his ex-
penditures but stated he would be
willing to accept figure to be deter
mined upon between the trustees and
himself. It was the understanding
that the grant board was to pay for
nothing that would not prove Of value
to it in finishing the irrigation sys-
tenn.
MT Camfield suggested that an en-
eineer be selected to appraise the
work and that a representative of the
board go to Denver and examine the
records of the expenditures Of the
Camfield company in bringing the
work to its present state Of half-com-
pletion. After some discussion Mr.
Camfield promised to submit to the
board at an early date an itemized list
of expenses incurred by his company
together with statement Of the
amount he would daem reasonable 1orI
a settlement for the work already
done. It is understood this will be.
something over 100000.
The board then adjourned subject
to the call Of the chairman. Mr.. Cam
field left this afternoon for his home.
in Greeley, Colo. He will return as
soon as he has prepared his figures.
It is not likely that much more will
be done until the latter part Of this
month.
