WILL ATTEMPT AIR
TRIP ROUND WORLD
Panama Exposition Offers
$4,000 to Aviator Accom-
pIishing Feat.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Panama
Pacific Exposition has invited the
aviators of the world to circumnavi-
ate the globe. Ninety days will be
permitted them in which to make the
flight, and the man who wins will
get 800, 900 for his pains. Then there
will be $4,000 additional for other
prizes, according TO present plans,
although it is expected that when
the time comes for the start sl50000
more will be added to the prize
money. ,,
This announcement has been re-
ceived by the Aero Club of America
sn the form of kilograms asking it to
give its otftcial sanction to the meet
and take charge of running it off.
"The Aero Club Of America has re-
ceived kilograms from the Panama
Pacific Exposition and the Pacific
Aero Club of San Francisco" ran the
statement issued by the club last
night. advising us that the eXposi-
ton is organizing an aero race around
the world, to start at the exposition
gro:ad L. May, 1919, te be completed
in ninety days at the same place.
The race is to be run under the rules
of the International Aeronautical As
ISOLATION. The Aero Club of America
will grant the sanction and officiate.
1.-THE telegram received from the
exposition officials states that the
plan is to have the race open for any
type of motor driven air craft. Presi-
dent Guy 7. Slaughter, of the Pacific
Aero Club, in his telegram, recon-
raends that sanction be granted and
advises that full particulars have
heen mailed and will be received at
She Aero Club of America by Feb
ruary T.
"Aran r. Hawley, president of the
Aero Club of America, wired the
clubs congratulations, assuring both
the officials of the Panama Pacific
Exposition and the Pacific Aero Club
that they will have the Aero Club
of Americas full corporation"
Although the projected fight around
the world is the most ambitious feat
yet proposed for aviators, there have
been many long, high and fast fights
since the Wrights demonstrated the
possibilities Of flying in 1903.
There has been one fight across
the American continent, although it
vas conducted in such a desultory
fashion that it lost it's significance.
The longest fight on record was
from Warsaw, Russia. to Paris 1t
was more than 1909 miles and was
made by Brindejouc des Moulinais,
who completed the journey in eight
days in a Morane machine.
The longest sustained flight on rec
ord was made by NJ. Fourny, who
flew 10 hours and II minutes in
France, September Il, 1912. When it
comes to crossing over the high places
in the world that might meet the con-
testants in the globe-girdling trip it
Is of interest to recall that the great
est height achieved was that by Per-
yon in France in March, 1913, who
rose 19. 500 feet.

TRENTON, Feb. "A hearing on
Senate Bill No. 20, introduced by
Senator Walter Edge. of Atlantic
county. was begun by the committee
on railroads and canals this after
neon.
When the second section of the
bill was read those at the hearing
began to prick up their ears.
Eth? What's that?' they asked.
Does he want us to cover the whole
State with elevated tracks and rail
road gates?"
That's about it, others replied.
Every trolley crossing will nave to
have a gate If we pass this bill"
And that is just what the bill pro-
vides. This is its opening paragraph:
BE it enacted by the Senate and

DENIES VIOLATING
MARITIME RULES
Confined from First Page.)

Of the sea. twenty-five miles south
west of Winter Quarter Lightship,
seven miles ffthe Virginia coast.
Captain Carlson, Of the Wrecking
steamer I. J. Merritt, discovered the
Monroe lying in the centre of her
proper course. She had righted her
self as she sank.
1t is not believed not many, if any,
bodies will be found in the wreck.
Despite the brief time before the
Monroe sank after being rammed
by the Merchants and Miners steam
ship Nantucket, the Old Dominion
officials say even the firemen and
coal passers reached the decks That
so many firemen were lost is attribu-
ted to their being in a swelter when
they struck the cold water.
The position of the sunken ship
improves the chances OF saving some
Of the 100000 cargo and the money
and jewelry Of the passengers and
crew. The Merritt is equipped with
apparatus for undersea lighting and
will work divers night and day. 1t is
not believed the Monroe can be
raised, however.
The discovery of the wreck Of the
Monroe lying in her own course has
removed from the minds Of the own
ers of the ship the last doubt con-
corning the precise manner of the
accident and the place where the re-
sponsibility rests. They are now
satisfied that the Nantucket lost its
bearings in the fog and swerved
completely out of her course. This,
it is said, will be in the report of
the Federal inspector

TO SAVE BROTHER
Boys Go Through Thin Ice in
Pompton Lake and Both
Drown.

PATTERSON, Feb. 2.-Elmer Fitro,
aged ten years, and his brother, Jo-
seph, twelve years old, were drowned
in Pompton Lake yesterday while
skating. The younger boy had his
skates on first and dashed away over
the thin ice, which gave way. His
brother ran to the rescue and also
broke through the ice. A COM
uanion, who had stayed on
shore, ran to nearby box
and turned in a fire-alarm. Lad
ders were stretched over the ice by
the firemen, but it took fifteen min
utes to get the boys out of the water
and all efforts to revive them failed
Followed by a throng of frightened
mothers and fathers, the little COM
pany Of f1remen dashed to Pompton
lake, that lay under thin deceptive
coating of Ice three-quarters of a
mile from town.
The parents of the boys had run
with the throng to the lake, not
knowing who was in danger, and
when the bodies were brought out
there was an indescribable scene. The
mother was taken home in charge of
a physician.

Y. v. c. A. MARK
IS NOT REACHED
Campaign in Behalf of Annual
Budget Nets but Half of
Amount Fixed.

The hopes of the women VINO have
been working for the last ten days to
raise $4,000 for the general expenses
of the Y. w. G. A. were found to be
unrealized when they met at the as
ISOLATION building in Halsey street
today.
The total amount collected was only
a little more than half of the amount
wanted-$13, 1890. The campaign
ended at noon today.
An announcement was made that
small contributions would be greatly
appreciated and the mail has been
overlooking with small amounts of
money. The team captains rendered
their final reports at noon today and
showed that in the past twenty four
hours they collected $780,
Mrs Chester R. Hoag led the way
today with fifty-hve subscriptions
and $430 therefrom with ten workers
The team captain reported that there
was quite large amount of money
still to be collected, and with this in
they expect the amount to total at
least $4,000. The failure to raise the
money in this campaign has not dis
couraged the workers at all Thev
say that the public has been shown
the purpose of the money and that in
a futue campaign 1t will respond
more readily.
Miss Harriet Taylor, national secre-
tary of the Young Women's Christian
Association, stated that the seven
teams that worked in the present
campaign would be formed into four
groups. The groups would continue
to aid in the general work of the local
association in the way of obtaining
new members and other subscriptions.
The groups will be captained by Mrs.
Wilbur Doremus Mrs. Henry Dusen-
berry, Mrs Chester r. Hoag and Mrs.
Theodor Heyden.

tons, $780, with five workers; Mrs.

Letter Started Controversy.
The controversy over Mr.. PindelPs
grew out of publication
of what purported to be a letter from
Senator Lewis, of Illinois, to Mr. Pin
dell urging the latter to accept the
post of ambassador to Russia for a
year and saying he would be relieved
of diplomatic responsibility for i'm
portant negotiations and could travel
freely in Europe.
Senator Lewis charged that the let
ter was a forgery and Secretary
Bryan later In public statement re-
vealed that the circumstances were
that Mr.. Pindell had said he could
only accept the post for a year be-
cause he did not feel that he could
be absent from his business for any
longer period. No mention, it was
said, was made by any diplomatic
task or duties.
A Senate committee investigated
the correspondence and recommended
the confirmation of Mr.. Pindell.
