500 Men Have Already
Joined Command of
Col. Hayward.
FIRST BATTALION
Is MUSTERED IN
Move Is Afoot to Get a Per.
manent Armory for the
18th Infantry.

The 18th Infantry, N. G. n. Y,
Colonel William Hayward's negro regi-
ment, is breaking all records for rapid
organization. One battalion of four
companies recruited in Manhattan
already has been mustered into service
under the new defence act, and the two
other battalons which will complet.
the regiment are under way. Com
pany +. the first of the second bat
talon, ninety-iive men strong, took the
Federal oath last night at the Odd Regi-
ment armory in Brooklyn. Company /,
the first Of the third battalion, will be
large enough to swear allegiance within
week or two.
"Since We started four weeks ago."
said Colonel Hayward yesterday, 1--WE
have mustered in about 900 men, all
examined and passed in one of the
most rigorous examinations ever con-
ducted We expect to have the regi-
ment filled up to / 900 by the end of
August. And let me tell you. this is
an unhyphenated organization"
The third battalion is to be recruited
in Manhattan and The Bronx. The sec
ond will be composed mostly of Brook
lyn negroes. The organization has
opened only two recruiting ofiices-one
at 2217 Seventh Avenue, Manhattan,
the other at Ia Myrtle Avenue, Brook
lyn-and the applications for enlist
ment have been keeping the recruiting
officers, as well as Colonel Hayward
and Lieutenant Colonel George +.
Hinton, on the job day and night
Colonel Hayward also has received APP
plcations for permission TO enlist COM
panics in Yonkers. Jamaica and Mount
Vernon.
Colonel Hayward is now negotiating
with the city authorities, the Armory
Board and the real estate branch of
the Finance Department for tenn
porary and permanent armory. Lafay-
ette Hall, at 132d Street and Seventh
Avenue, where the regiments tenn
porary headquarters are located, is not
large enough even to accommodate the
one completed battalion. Many of the
fifty squads drilling nightly-an
about 70 per cent of the men turn out
for nightly drills-have to take to the
street to carry out the maneuvres of
their drill sergeants. The I'd Battalion
will probably be drilled, temporarily
at least, in the 23d Regiment Armory,
in Brooklyn.

PHYSICAL Examination

Colonel Louis d. Conley, formerly
commanding officer of the 69th Regi-
ment, is determined to fight to the last
ditch for reinstatement. He applied
yesterday TO Adjutant General Simpson,
of the Department of the East, at Gov
ernor's Island, for another physical ex-
animation. The application was for
warded TO the War Department without
any comment from the officers at regu-
lar army headquarters here.
Major General Leonard Wood, who
returned to a busy days work after a
tour of inspection at Plattsburg, said
there was no change in the Conley mat
ter so far as he was concerned. He
thought improbable any change in the
decision of the War Department up
holding Colonel Conley's retirement.
General Wood remarked, however, that
the mastering out of Colonel Conley
from the Federal service did not neces-
sarily retire him from the militia SER
vice.

DR.. Eldridgc Atwood, died late to-day.

So far a. known. the police have
found no explanation for the death by

beyond that given by Atwood, who
said he had shot Harris because the
latter had come between the young
woman and Atwood, making their mar

suicide of Miss Adams.

Coming Elections Must Be
Held Under Old Dis

WHITMAN OPPOSED
TO EXTRA SESSION
Statute of 1916 Being Void, Only
New Legislation Can Bring
About Change.

Albany. July 25.-The reapportion-
ment act of the 1916 Legislature was
invalidated by the Court of Appeals
to-day in an opinion declaring the
legislation unconstitutional and void.
As Governor Whitman is understood
to be opposed to calling an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature 10 enact re-
apportionment act that will stand the
test of the courts, the fall elections
probably will be conducted according
to the apportionment previously in
force.
The court holds that the 1916 reap
portionment act is unconstitutional so
far as it applies to the County of New
York, but overrules the decision of the
Appellate Division that the establish
ment Of ffty-one instead of fifty Sena-
torial districts is unconstitutional
"The intention of the people, the
court SAYS, "to limit by constitution
the number of Senators to fifty is eX-
pressed in language that cannot be
misunderstood, as follows: The Senate
shall always be composed Of fifty mem

Senate Not Limited TO Fifty.

THAT Limitation is, however, subject
TO the exception stated therein. 1t is
provided that If any county having
three or more Senators at the time OF
any apportionmenr Is entitled IN the
ratio prescribed to an additional Sen
ator or Senators, such additional SEN
ator or Senators shall be given TO such
county in addition to the fifty Senators,
and the whole number Of Senators
shall be increased 10 that extent.
1--WE do not think that the constltu-
tion was violated by dividing the state
into fifty-one Senate districts
Concerning the alleged violation OF
the constitution in the Senatorial
apportionment in the County OF New
York, the court holds that the reap
portionment act does not meet the re-
ouirement that city blocks which, from
their location may be included in either
of two districts, shall be so placed as
to make these districts most nearly
equal in number of inhabitants, eX-
cluding aliens.
The opinion declares that by consti-
tutional provision town and block are
each made q unit Of population for the
purpose of determining equality IN the
number of inhabitants in Senate dis
tricts. II cites instances in the New
York County Senatorial reapportion-
ment where there are blocks on the line
between Senatorial districts containing
q less number of inhabitants than one
half of the difference between the pop
ulation of the adjacent Senate districts
Constitution Mandatory.
at is said" the opinion states, that
these differences arise from inadver-
rence and mistake. and that they are
so slight that they should be disregard
ed bv the court. We are of the opln-
ion that the constitutional provision Is
mandatory.
The court refuses to set aside the
apportionment because Of lack Of com
pactness of the Senate districts. and
saws that the constitution does not pro-
vide unqualifedly for compactness.
Senatorial districts" says the opln-
ion, "were not required to be IN the
form of geometric figures. Such pro-
vision would be impracticable and i'm
possible to carry out. 1t is expressly
provided that the districts shall be as
compact as practicable. This permits
of a consideration in good faith ol
existing lines, topography, means OF
transportation, etc"
Whole Act Set Aside.
The opinion says in conclusions: 1--WE
do not intend by this decision to hoic
that il is not possible for the courts
at any time to set aside an act of ap
portionment in part and to sustain II
part. Complications that might arise
by setting aside the apportionment un'
| der consideration in the County OF New
| York or in the counties OF New VOTE
and Bronx and sustaining it in Other
counties Of the state are such thai
counsel have agreed that the act mus
either be sustained or set aside as
I whole.
THE order of the Appellate Division
! should be reversed and the apportlon
ment act of 1916 declared unconstitu
tional and void. Unless the Legislature
is convened and passes new appor
tlonment act the conduct of the ap
preaching election will have to be con
trolled by proexisting laws so far al
they are practicable"

the same sensations that have be- come SO common to him. The easy rise, the rush of air as the machine spirals up and up. The heave of the machine as the pilot ''banks" stiffly to the right or left. The earthward swoop as we descend and finally to enjoy the looks of admiration from our less nervy friends as we step from the machine.
 Crawford has been carrying passengers on the Coast for the past two years and, be it said to his credit, he has never had a serious accident of any kind. He is admitted to be the most careful aviator of the Aero Club of America that is when he has a passenger. When up by himself it is differ ent matter. Then he is the worst "fool-fyer" in the country. He loops the loop, flies up side-down, does the side slip and jelly roll and every other stunt that any other aviator has ever attempted. These things he will do at the Arizona State Fair when he is not carrying
 passengers.

AVIATION THRILLS
 AT AR|z. STATE FAIR

To those who have watched avia tors soar into the clouds and have wished for an opportunity to do the same, the announdement that Harvey Crawford, the Pacific Coast aviator, will be at the Ari- zona State Fair, November 13 to 18th will be an agreeble surprise. A surprise because this is the first trip Crawford has made away from California as he was instructing the Aero Squardron of that state the last anyone heard of him, and an agreeable surprise as he is the builder and owner of a passenger carrying machine that he will bring with him on this trip.
 The time has past when we were contented to take our thrills al second hand, to stand on fail grounds and watch the aviator fly away. Now we wish to experience
