GREAT AIR CRAFT
BREAKS THE RECORD

Hammondsport, N. Y, June 29.-
Seven men flew over Lake Keuka
this afternoon in Rodman Wanamak-
er's transatlantic flying boat Amer
lea. Their weight, together with sand
ballast and gasoline, totaled 1900
pounds of useful load The number
of passengers is more than was ever
carried in flying machine in this
country before, and is said to be a
worlds record for flying boats.
The weight carried was three times
the weight-carrying record in the
United States for any kind of flying
machine. Lieutenant John Cyril
Porte, who is to pilot the machine
from Newfoundland to Ireland by way
Of the Azores, was at the wheel, and
George Hallett, his flying partner,
was III charge of the motor.
The passengers yere: William D.
Cash of New York, who is here rep
Iresenting Mr.. Wanamaker; Herbert
Duclw orth of the London Daily Mail;
Henry Kleckler, one of the American
designers; George Robinson and
James la Monte, mechanics.
The load carried today was within
500 pounds of what the America will
be required to carry in its transat-
lantic flight.
Glenn H. Curtiss, the builder, and
Lieutenant Porte were delighted with
the test. The America demonstrated
its ability to do the work that will
eventually be required of it better
than it has in any of the previous
tests. It got off the water with a
load, and that is the supreme test.
When slight changes are made in its
hydroplane boards it will be tried
with g full transatlantic load.

two as there is between rowboat
and liner. / was greatly pleased
with the performance of the Amer
ica."
Lieutenant Porte seemed elated
over the trial today. The machine

but there was no sign Of a wobble

KELLY JUMPS BAIL
BONDS OF S25OC

G. B. Kelly, who has been twice
tried and was to have had third
trial here today, failed to appear
when his case was called. He was
out on $2500 bail, the bonds having
been signed by San Francisco men
and approved by the superior court
Of San Francisco. They will have
twenty days in which to produce their
man or forfeit the money.
Kelly was in an automobile acct
dent here several months since, which
resulted fatally to member of the
parity, and the first trial was on a
charge of manslaughter in that con-
nection, he being acquitted.
The second trial was on charge
Of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses by the sale 4 of corporation
stock, and in that case the jury dis
agreed, four for acquittal and eight
for conviction.
He was to have been tried again
today on the same charge.
He is reported to have been seer
in Venice Thursday, but it is believed
that he is now long ways from
that city and further from Ell Cen

TO BUILD TO YUMA
FROM THE VALLEY

San Francisco, June 29.-It is un-
derstood in San Francisco railroad cir
cles that the San Diego & Arizona
railway will be extended to Yuma,
Ariz, without delay. This belief is
based on intimations by members Of
the railroad commission, who stated
that they would grant John d. Spreck
els permission to increase the bond
issue already authorized to 25,000,-
900.
Harry Titus, for the San Diego &
Arizona railway, filed a supplemental
railroad petition with the commission
On Friday. Today Commissioners
Edgerton and Loveland gave Mr..
Spreckels a hearing and the supple
mental petition was amended to ask
that the $1O,OO0,OOO of bonds and
So, 100000 of stock already authorized
be sold for not less than 85, instead
of 80 and par, as previously ordered.
The matter was submitted after the
hearing given Mr.. Spreckels and from
present indications favorable de-
cision will be handed down this week
When the question of increasing the
bond issue to $25,000,00J came up be-
fore the commission, members of the
boards seemed anxious to held the San

way possible The additional millions

DISTRICT SESSION
ON RIVER CONTROL

President Walter o. Hamilton said
this morning that he would issue a
call for special meeting of the
directors of the irrigation district for
a week from tomorrow to consider
the question of river control. By that
time he believes the names on the
petition will be increased so greatly
that there will be no question of the
bonds being voted, and he thinks it
possible that on the showing that
can then be made there may be an
appropriation obtained from congress,

HOW THE AUSTRIAN PRESS
CENSORSHIP is OPERATED

New York Tribune: By order of the

ing hews which the court considers

man, who a sword dangling at his
side and holding In his hand an off

room end delivers the decree.
IL is the famous Austrian press

From the numerous rooms which

Ferdinand, Heir to Throne
Of Austria and His Wife,
Assassinated by Servian

Of Hohenberg low down on the right
side, while the second bullet hit the
archduke in the neck near the throat
and pierced, the jugular vein.
The duchess became unconscious
Immediately and fell across the knees
of her husband. The archduke lost
consciousness i'm a few seconds after
he was hit. The chauffeur put on
full speed and rushed straight to the
palace, where an army of surgeons
vainly tried first aid to the injured.
Neither the archduke nor the duch-
ess gave any sign of life and the
only thing the head of the hospital
could do was to certify that both were
dead.
The assassination of Archduka
Francis Ferdinand and his wife is
the fourth great tragedy in the life
of the aged Emperor Francis Joseph,
now ir his eighty-fourth year. The
emperor has seen the eldest of his
three younger brothers, the Arch
duke Ferdinand, the Emperor Maxi
milan of Mexico, executed; his only
son, the Archduke Rudolph, die under
mysterious and scandalous. circum-
stances, either murdered or a sui
eide; his wife, the beloved Empress
Elizabeth, assassinated, and now his
second heir and the latter's wife as
sasinated.
Great fear is felt of the effect
which the assassination of his nephew
and heir may have on the health OF
the aged emperor.
For several months the emperor's
condition has been anything but re-
assuring and, although obeying his
physicians in many ways, he has
consistently refused their plea to
seek warmer climate for a time.
The emperor was taken i'll with e
combined attack of catarrh and bron-
chitis early in the spring. He has a
rugged constitution and has lived sim
ply all his life in a manner calcu-
lated not to weaken his strength.
The physicians succeeded, with the
aid of the emperor's will power, in
breaking the feverish conditions and
in restoring to an extent the general
health of the patient. The catarrhal
trouble, however, continued and the
repeated spells of bad weather in
Vienna all spring, with cold, rain and
raw winds, tended to retard the
aged mans recovery.
A trip to the south was insisted
upon as the only sure means of Sc
curing improvement, but the emperor,
apparently reluctant to relinquish any
Of his functions even for the short
period while the weather remained
bad, refused to leave Vienna.
There have been many reports of
recent friction between the emperor
and tie Archduke Ferdinand, which
probably had something to do with the
emperor's persistence in remaining at
the capital.

BEATING THE BIRDS
AT THEIR OWN GAME

(By Lincoln Beachey, In the Popular
Mechanics Magazine.)
Any properly built biplane which
has e light powerful engine is stable
when in the air providing it is intelli
gently handled.
The chief reason | have been able
to accomplish hfeats which other air.
men Eever have attempted is the fact
that have had a good machine and
have known how to fly it.
Give me clearance of 500 ft. from
the ground, place to land, and then
let things happen. If the aeroplane
upsets or slides or the engine dies,
and The airman is not asleep, it may
be righted with comparative ease.
The master of good biplane should
feel as completely at home IN the air
as any bird that ever flew. In my
recent flights it has been demonstrat-
ed that a man-made machine is cap

ward spiral or revolve like top and
sail earthward, tail down?
1t is true that my latest craft was
built for the specific purposes to which
it is being put. But for general flying
a good biplane of the same fundamen-
tai type should be equal in stability.
1t is only touching the extreme to
assert that with an engine of suffi-
cient power an airman could fly a
piano box. By that l wish to impress
the statement that the airman of today
has absolutely everything he needs
with which to fight the laws of grav-
ity. Because of this the aerOplane al
ready occupies the place of neces-
sity, commercial and otherwise, for
the present and future-day man. It
is only toss ahead to the time when
the areial express will lbe no more
a novelty than overland limited trains
are now.
My new machine which has accomu-
lished hitherto unheard-of things, such
as flying at an angle of almost 81
degrees, is the embodiment of many
of my own ideas and the adaptations
of the best principles of other success

iature Curtiss type, but at the same
time i is lighter, stronger, smaller
and faster than any other practical
craft in this country. I'm many of it's
