BIPLANE FLEW NEARLY
TWO NILES A minute
Machine That Passed Over
Lower Delaware EStab-
lished Worlds Record
400 MILES In FOUR
HOURS, ONE MINUTE

Victor Carlstrom, whose machine
was seen by persons in several towns
in lower Delaware, when he flew over
this State Saturday morning in a 100
horsepower biplane, made a worlds
record fly from Newport News, Va, to
the Sheepshead Bay Speedway, He
covered the distance of 46O miles in
four hours and one minute. This
was an average speed of mere than
one hundred miles an hour or nearly
two miles a minute. He left New
port News at 525 o'clock and arrived
at sheepshead Speedway 1t 9.26
o'clock.
The fight was held in connection
with a military. naval and aviation
tournament which started at the
Sheepshead Speedway on Saturday
Stephenson MacGordon, who started
from Newport News Al the same time,
in another machine, was forced to
descend 5000 feet on account of a
storm and arrived one hour after
Carlstron
During his fight Carlstrom was
lost for a time in a thunderstorm at
an altitude of 5000 feet
There is some doubt as to whether
II was Carlstrom or MacGordan seen
by persons in lower Delaware. It may
have been the former. however, as
he is said to have lost his bearing
for few minutes Ia lower Delaware
just before he took course across
the bay and descended some distance
At Selbyville possibly the best view
was obtained of the machine. and
dozens OF persons watched it from the
streets for several minutes.
MacGordon was caught in a cloud
bank when a short distance north OF
Cape Charles City, Va. and had to de
scend to a considerable distance tC
| get his bearings.
The previvons record for this coun
try was 332 miles in four hours and

question of the superstition clinging
about theatres connected in any way

out boldly. Daniels had secured fresh

trying to fit this new fact into the in
tricate puzzle that had grown out Of
the death of James Pollock.
Everyone knew now that Daniels
himself had lost all he possessed and
had also lost the money Pollock had
promised him through the death Of the
latter.
Who, . then, was the new angel
whose name did not appear in the
carefully worded announcement from
Daniels?
Was it not possible, after all, that
Daniels had secured more money from
Pollock than anyone knew of, and
clashing with the lawyers of Pollock's
estate?
Was it not possible, too, that Daniels
knew far more about the tragedy than
anyone suspected? That he had~turn-
ed this information to very good ac-
count financially and that there were
influential people identified with the
under world Of the city who for per
sonal or political reasons were willing
to put up large amount Of money pro-
vtded they could thereby silence the
theatrical manager and keep him from
revealing any more on the witness
stand?
Daniels, Langdon knew, was ruled
by a very lax code Of morals and was
not above profting from the suppress
sion of evidence that had great finan-
cial value.
He had got no further than this point
in his soliloquy, when the Office boy
appeared at the door, a little flushed
and apologetic.
81 know you don't want to be dis

till it's convenient for you to talk to
him.
'Tell him I'm very busy now, and
must go into court soon. Ask him to
talk to Mr.. Barrett or Mr. Rogers"
The boy went out, but in a moment
or so returned
''He says they won't do, sir. He
must see you. He says to tell you his
name is Daniels and he has come about
the trial"
Langdon lifted his head quickly.

paper he laid it back with the others
and smiled, q tritie grimly.
Prosperity had already laid its hand
upon Daniels-at least his clothes
made that evident. He was sprucely

sumption of jauntiness about him that
would have deceived almost anyone,
but Langdon's keen eyes saw the harsh
lines at the corners Of the mouth, and
the sombre anxiety in the restless eyes.
