The first attempt to cross the At
lantic ocean in a hydroplane will be
made in July. Preparations for the
experiment are about complete and
the aviator has decided upon his plans
The man who will attempt this dar-
ing flight is Lieut.. John Cyril Porte of
the British navy and he Will use a
machine owned by an American, Rod
man Wanamaker. Moreover he will
be accompanied by George Hallett an
American, as mechanician, so that in
the personality Of the crew il will be
an international event, and if success
full the hOnors will be equally divided
between Great Britain and the United
States.
Confidence in the stability and pow
ers of continuous flight possessed by
the aeroplane is greater in the minds
of aviators than in the minds Of the
public The airmen seem to believe
that it is something more than pOssi-
BILE 10 make the flight without acct
dent. Al least they are willing to take
the chances. even the most conse-va-
tive among them. The opportunity to
attempt the first flight is considered
an honor and a privilege The public
is skeptical but willing to be con-
vinced
The successful completion of the
flight will be a great advance for avia-
ton and yet a natural development Of
a science which to the public at large
seems to be still in it's infancy. The
calculations of the projectors OF this
flight. however, have not been based
upon the exhibitions given by profess
sioaal aviators in which they are paid
TO risk their necks for the entertain
ment OF the public, but upon the prac-
teal use that has been made OF the
heavier than air machines.
In many places in this and other
countries aeroplanes and hydroplanes
are in daily use for transportation pur
poses and though accidents happen
occasionally they are considered about
as safe as any other modern means Of
getting about. So that the fuel and
pal ones 10 be considered in a flight
across the Atlantic other elements
are not different from the ordinary
flight over land. In case of storms
the aviator can rise above them. If
his gasoline holds out and his machine
holds together he will in all pre- bability
be successful.

In the nomination of Mr.. w. O..
Sharp, member of congress from the
Fourteenth Ohio district, to be amDaS-

the president could have filled the

the ranks of those made eligible by

ORGANIZED CHARITY.

Before the public can be induced to
contribute adequately to organized
charity IL must be dispossessed of the
idea that organized charity is not a
trust or sideissue for the officials
who conduct it. That idea is now quite
firmly imbedded in the public.
Right or wrong the public believes
IL Is being imposed upon by the men
and women who are carrying on the
work of organized charity and it is
going TO require a formidable array of
facts and arguments to convince the
public TO the contrary. The reason is
obvious. A large per cent of the
funds contributed 10 organized charity
is devoted to me payment OF salaries
and office expense and a small per
cent TO the direct relief of the poor.
1t has not been made clear to the
public that the money given is being
a~ed to the best advantage in the di-
rection in which it was designed to be
expended. The principle OF indirect
charity has been sufficiently incul-
Gated for the average individual TO see
that a person who can be placed in
position TO help himself is immediate
" as well as ultimately better off than
the one temporarily or periodically
aided.
That is what ails the charitable or
ganizations except those which deal
directly with the question OF personal
aid II Is what ails the organized
charities OF other cities. as witness the
statement OF Mr.. Kennerdeu OF the
Cleveland federation for charity and
philanthropy before the Chamber OF
Commerce, to the effect the proper
tionately small number OF contributors
in his city decreased eleven per cent
between 1907 and 1909.
The public has not been shown that
organized charity is doing the work It
is designed to do and which it claims
10 do. The reports made DO not sat
isfy the public conception OF what
should be done with the money con-
tributed. and il is plain until this Gcubt
and uncertainty is cleared away sCn-
tribuuons Will continue TO decrease.
The city Of Cleveland seems to have.
overcome this pTejudice against organ
lied charity in large measure by
more complete federation and placing
all charity organizations under the
direction and control OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce. Under this plan
contributions in Cleveland have ma
terially increased and the expense Of
operation has decreased. and it has
been possible 10 make clearer 10 the.
public mind the principles and poll
cies on which organized charity is
based.
a similar policy may have a similar
effect. Certain ii is that something
must be done 20 enlist public conf
dence and sympathy IL the work of
organized charity is 20 be successfully

more were exposed to the same fate
unless the suffrage act could be shown
to be unconstitutional. The verdict
is great victory for the anti-saloon
interest as we'll as for the enfranchise-
ment OF women. other states will be
encouraged by this decision TO put suf-
frage laws in their statute books.
In some of the states this can be
done. as in Illinois. by simple act of
the legislature. In others. as in Indi-
ana, it will be necessary TO amend the
state constitution or make a new one
eliminating the word male. Eventu-
ally this must be done in Illinois 10

Sam Blythe. the temperance writer,
and Tom Pence, the genial and high
minded publicity agent de luxe Tor
the democratic party, met on a WASH
ington street corner one morning
simultaneously with the hatchlng OF
a scheme in Sans mind TO make
little money. BY means OF having
quit drinking and writing about now
he Quit, Sam makes a good living as
IL is, but he thought ii would be fine
to make even more money, and he
confded TO Tom his little plan. He
had learned of a certain stock that
was fixing to shoot skyward, and all
that one had 10 do, as Sam looked
at il, was simply to purchase lit
tie block of this stock. One could
then sit back quietly, awaiting de-
velopments, and in an absurdly
short time clean up a small fortune
without the bother Of having TO work
for it.
Tom Pence stood thoughtfully fin
gering a little assortment of subsi-
diary coins in his pants pocket while
Sam was talking. Half timidly Tom
suggested that he, too. would like TO
add 10 his fortune. He explained,
though, that he had ever been re-

WASHINGTON. June 15.-Edwin
o. Wood, democratic national com
mittee from Michigan, is a profess
sional joker. But on his last trip 10
Washington Wood had a lot of hard
luck with his pranks. Nearly every
one that he attempted had flare
back TO it, For instance, on the
train he was travelling with a friend
who doesn't smoke. Wood went back
to the smoking compartment, leaving
his friend in his seat Then he call
ed the conductor to him.
THAT man UP yOnder." says Wood.
pointing out his travelling companion,
'is a little off his nut and ] am his
keeper Ii seems TO irritate him if 1
stick around too close, so I'm going
to take chance on leaving him alone
for a little while. But 1 wish you
would keep an eye on him. Walk up
to him occasionally and tell him he's
all right. That always seems TO
soothe him. If he tries 10 leave his
seat. don't let him. He may try TO
convince you that he's perfectly sane.
and he can put up a good story, too,
for he really acts all right most Of
the time. He's a clever guy in his
way"
In a few minutes the conductor

and they can't handle her. You

pie than anybody else aboard. So I'll
have 10 get you 10 come back and
help US out"
Before Wood could demonstrate,
the conductor had dragged him back
into the other car and the crazy
woman took a great fancy 10 him. He
was obliged to ride with her until she
got off the train.
About a week after that Wood went
into a Washington hotel with
friend and began TO give an order to
the coloTed waiter.

WITHIN THE LAW"
BACK At BELASCO
Thrills Abound in Play, But Conn.,
pany Shows CommendabIe
Restraint in Not 0veracting.

Though delayed one night in its open
ing. there was no lack of interest in the
return engagement of Within the
Law" which began its second engage
ment for the season at the Belasco last
night, If one may judge from the size
of the audience.
This play survived the first thrill of
fits production, not because II mas an
unusual assortment OF intense moments,
but because the message It brings TO
the playgoer is of character caicu-
lated to outlast and outweigh the mo-
mentary effect of the mechanics of act
ing which enter into its principal scenes.
The story of the shop girls who are un-
derpaid, of the unvirtuous virtue of the
merchant prince VINO thinks he can buy
respecta biIity with the thousand dollar
checks he sends to charity, of the bar
berous methods Of the police with their
czarlIke suspension of legal rights and
rough-shod system of dealing with GRIM
inals-an these things are at present
among the breakfast table topics in the
average family. And these are the
things that Within the Law filings
with an almost brutal force in the faces
Of the reople who see it.
By no stretch of the imaSi nation
could 1t be called a pretty play. or a
nice play, or an amusing play. 1t is
wonderfully strong in construction
and IL is remarkably well produced.
1t is one of those dramatic offerings
that might easily be turned into lurid
rnelodrama. But the we'll selected
cast, the same that was seen here
earlier in the season, possesses the
greatest of all the attributes to the
art OF acting-the ability to stop
short of OVERRIDING. Helen Ware gives
a remarkable interpretat atiOn of the
part Of the shop girl and the skillful
woman with p deep burning hatred of
organized society.
The character develops practically
two distinct women. In each of them
Miss Ware is mistress of every situa-
ton. AS Miss Ware is featured in the
production comment on her work
necessarily comes first-but il is al
most impossible to select the member
Of the supporting cast whose effort
stood out above hts fellows-so care
fully has the company been organized.
