means and could devote his time to the

to the Progresslyes because they have
succeeded In building up strong Progress

The moment Col Roosevelt gets back

Already campaign fund more than large

pledged conditional on the Colonel's run

that the appeal will come from virtu-

WORLD AIR RACE RULES.
Each Aviator Must Have Equipment
Costing $4,000.

Rules TO govern the aerial race around
the world were submitted to the Aero
Club OF America at n special meeting
held Monday by Arnold Kruckman Com
missioner OF Aeronautics for the Panama
Pacific Exposition. The committee, con-
sisting or Alan X. Hawley, Charles VI
Manly, Henry A. Weis Wood. Henry
WoOdhouse, Arthur Johns and Howard
Huntington. found the rules acceptable
The committee told Mr.. Kruckman that
the Aero Club would sanction the race
upon receipt Of a guarantee from the
bank In which the $4,000 prize money
is deposited that the prizes would be
paid to the winners designated by the
contest committee of the Aero Club az
required by the rules OF the International
Aeronautic Federation.
Mr.. Kruckman left for England yester-
day and before sailing notified the
Panama Pacific officials of the conditions
Ii Is expected that the guarantee will
be given In few days and the sanction
sent by cable message to Mr.. Kruckman
when he arrives on the other side.
Four hundred aero clubs i'm eighteen
countries will be asked to develop the
plans for the race. The entrance fee for
the world race will be $3.50, and only such
aviators as have the equipment consid-
cred necessary to go around the world
will be accepted. The cost Of such an
equipment, according to Henry Wood
house, will be $4,000.

Course of ROdman Wanamakdr's
Machine Changed and
500 Miles Added.

HAMMoNDspoRr. y. Y, June l6---An
entirely new route which will add 500
miles to the transatlantic flight has been
selected by Lieut. John Cyril Porte. who
will pilot Rodman Wanamakers flying
boat. now being assembled here at Glenn
Curtlss's aeroplane factory. Instead of
flying directly from Newfoundland to
ireland Lieut. Porte will steer for tho
Azores. then for the Spanish coast. and
will strike the Irish coast near Queens
town. lie will start next month. accord
ing to "a positive statement to-day.
The distance over tho new route is
approximately 2.i00 miles. IL is 1884
miles by direct line from Newfoundland
to ireland. OF the three legs In the new
course the first Is nearly as long as the
two others. 1t Is LAO miles from st.
Johns to the Azores. go miles from
there to the Spanish coast and $40 miles
from Spain to Queenstown.
Three weeks ago John Lansing Callan,
n Curtiss aviator. left Hammondsport on
secret mission. Ii was given out at
that time that he had gone abroad In
the interest of the Wanamaker flight and
would meet Lieut. Porte. 1t has since
been stated that Callan is In Newfound-
land.
The representative OF THE SUN learned
tonight that Callan was ssnt to the
Azores to establish a gasolene supply
station there for the Wanamaker transat-
lantic fiier. He will also have materials
for making minor repairs and will be
ready to assist Lieut.. Porte and George
Hallett. his mechanician.
This change in plans Is radical. II had
been intended to cross the Atlantic In
single flight without alghting nthe
water. The original machine planned by
Mr.. Curtiss was so designed that II could

aviator had been forced to alight. The
main advantage OF the new plan Is that
the longer nonstop flight will be more
than roo miles shorter than the single
jump from Newfoundland TO ireland.
The question OF fuel supply 10 another
important feature. Orvlle Wright and
others who have considered the trans
atlantic fight impossible have based their
views on the fact that nSt enough gaso-
lene could be carried for 1900 mile
flight. Under the new plan the supply
will be replen{shed at the Azores. The
gas tanks in the Wanamaker machine
will hold $50 gallons. The two motors
burned about nine and six-tenths gallons
an hour In the tests. and mt that rate
Lieut. Porte and his companion will have
fuel enough for twen;y-six hours.
II they fly as slow as forty three miles
an hour they will still have enough fuel
to reach the Azores. The Wanamaker
machine is designed to fly sixty miles an
| hour which minirnixes the chance Of
failure.
Another advantage OF the new course

BROOKLYN WANTS T. r.
Kings County Moose Howl Down
Mention of Fusion.

A resolution calling upon the members
of the Progressive party to nominate IA
straight Progressive State ticket to be
headed by Col Theodore Roosevelt as the
candidate for Governor was adopted last
night by the Progressive county com
mittee or Kings county. This action was
taken after several members had declared
that district committees had adopted SIM
liar resolutions and that the sentiment for
Col. Roosevets candidacy was very
strong.
George A. Greene introduced a resolu-
ton calling for the nomination Of the best
men available as running mates for the
Colonel, whether or not thexe men he en-
rplled members OF the Progressive party.
He retorted to cries Of mo fusion with
the assertion that he himself was opposed
to fusion hut desired that way be left
open for the nomination OF such men as
Justice Seabury or John A. Hennessy. who
are not enrolled Progressives but who
might be drafted for the good of the party.
This resolution WAS lost II being tho
sense Of the committee that the other
resolution left the voters sufficient latitude
in their selection Of candidates
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-17

is that II will bring the fllers directly
over the steamship lanes. When the avi-
ators leave Newfoundland and turn
southeast toward the Azores they will
cross diagonally every steamship course
between this country and Europe. They
will follow throughout the first two legs
of the flight the lanes Of steamers ply
ing between American ports and Spain
and southern Europe. In case OF accident
the chance of being picked up by "a pass
ing steamer IL Increased at least 100
per cent. From Cape Fnlsterre to Queens
town they will noe be far from the coast
OF Europe and In frequently navigated
waters
1t has not yet been decided whether
to replenish the gasolene tanks OF tho
Wanamaker machine again at some point
In Spain or Portugal. This will probably
not be necessary. as these are compare
lively short flights for the big seaplane.
Tho feasibility of flying directly from
the Azores to Ireland, 1850 miles. with
out touching the Spanish coast has been
discussed. II the first leg OF the flight
is accomplished without mishap II Is pos
siblc that Lieut.. Porte will decide TO take
this more direct route. but present plans
seem to favor the longer and safer
course.
Until they turn north after striking the
Spanish coast the new course gives flers
the advantage Of prevailing winds. &C.
cording to the Governments pilot chart
but they will turn full into the wind when
they come about for the final leg. The
winds would have been steadier and
stronger on the other course and in favor
OF the fiiers all the way to ireland.
The change In plans still leaves the ffiers
eligible for the $4,000 prize offered by
Lord Northcliffe. They will not be al
lowed to beach the flying boat at the
Azores, as the rules provide that stoppages
may be- made only OH the water. Whether
Lieut. Porte or Mr.. Hallett may leave the
craft 10 go ashore at the Azores IL an
open question. The rules say nothing
about whether a pilot may go ashore al

AERIAL CURE FOR WEAK HEARTS
Young Physicinn Plans to Send His
Patients Up In . balloon.

CLEVELAND. June 10. - Or. Rudolph
Heym, Jr.. young physician Tho has
been out OF medical school only year and
Is now "a years old, believes he has dis
covered a sure cure for heart disease, He
is now in New York negotiating with A.
Leo Stevens, the balloonist, for the use OF
large balloon which he proposes to con-
vert into hospital and send up 1000 or
5000 feet In the air at night with the
patients reclining on cots.
The beneficial effects OF rarifed otmos-
pheres on weak hearts is recognized. but
the result is not permanent. so DR.. Heym
proposes to give supplementary treat
ment when the hospital comes down in the
morning, before the effect Of the trip alone
has been dissipated. The aerial hospital
and the consequent remedy will be used
two or three times a week until a cure
Is found.
