LATHAM MAKES NEW
WORLD'S RECORD IN AIR
FRENCHMAN SMASHESPAULHAM'S
WORLD MARK OF WEDNESDAY.
FOR DISTANCE AND TIME
IN SECOND ATTEMPT THURSDAY
AFTERNOON , LATHAM ARRIVES.
SNATCHES PAULHAM LAURELS
Thursday Saw Beautiful Weather on
the Aviation Field at Rhelms and
Aeronauts Were Out Early A Sen
sational Race In the Air.
Rhelms , Aug. 26. Bulletin.
In his second attempt this
afternoon Hubert Latham , the
French aviator , broke the
world's record for time and
distance.
Latham remained in the air for 2
hours , 18 minutes , 9 % seconds , and
covered a distance of 154 kilometers ,
375 meters (95 ( miles and 3,895 feet ) .
When Latham started he calculated
that ho had sufficient gasoline for a
flight of three hours. The aviator re
turned to his shed in an automobile.
As he passed in front of the tribunes
he was given a tremendous ovation.
Ho safd ho had alighted because the
gasoline was exhausted.
"But I will take more next time , " he
added.
The fifth day of aviation week was
ushered In with ideal weather jcondi-
tlons. The light airs and overcast sky
brought the flyers out early and be
fore noon a dozen machines , like huge
gulls , were circling above the plain.
The program included the continua
tion of the trials for the grand Prix de
La Champagne , the endurance test ,
the lap event , the speed event , a race
between dirigible balloons and a landIng -
Ing competition for spherical balloons.
Latham , in a beautiful monoplane ,
was the first aviator to get away. He
announced his intention to make an
effort to beat Paulhnm's great record
for the endurance prize , made yester
day , 2 hours , 53 minfctes and 24 sec
onds. Latham started flying at a great
height. Sornmor , Cockburn , Buena
Verella , De La Grange and , finally ,
Glenn H. Curtlss , the American con
testant , followed Latham into the air.
Curtlss' purpose was to Improve his
record in the speed lap contest and to
qualify for one of the six prizes in the
endurance contest.
He accomplished three rounds in an
Impressive manner , but his speed was
disappointing. His total time was 28
minutes , 59 % seconds. By rounds his
showing was as follows : 8 minutes ,
32 % seconds ; 9 minutes 50 % seconds
and 10 minutes 36 % seconds.
A Pretty Race In the Air.
In the meantime , the other flyers ,
except Latham and De LaGrange , had
alighted without doing anything. A
noteworthy sight waa witnessed when
LoGrange flying low , started to over
take Latham who was still high In
the air. There was a pretty race for
four miles and Do LeGrango was over
hauling Latham when ho was compell
ed to descend. Latham , after covering
70 kilometers (43.47 ( miles ) , was oblig
ed to descend because of trouble with
his ignition. Ten minutes later he waa
in the air again racing with another
machine.
Curtlss declares that he did not push
his machine this morning but he
doubts whether he can beat his time
of yesterday. Blerlot therefore will
bo the winner on form If he can go
the limit.
The Wright managers intend to
make a desperate effort to wrest the
endurance prize from Paulham and
capture the height and weight carryIng -
Ing events.
Le Febvro , in a Wright machine ,
with a tank holding 90 litres of fuel
will make a try this afternoon.
Blerlot Carries a Passenger.
Blerlot made his first appearance In
the field today carrying a passenger
Ho negotiated a trial round In 8 min
utes , 38 seconds.
A representative of the Aero clue of
Italy arrived here today and Is mak
ing arrangements to take the aviator ?
and their machines on special trains
to Brescia next Tuesday. He Is par
ticularly anxious that Curtisa go to
Italy and probably will offer him spec
ial conditions.
Fournler Around With Broken Not * .
Fournler was about with a broken
nose this morning. He received man ;
knocks on his narrow escape of ye
terday when a fortunate Jump from
his machine that had turned turtle
saved him from being mangled by the
whirling propeller blades.
The official measurement of Paul
terday gives his distance at 133,070
meters (83.07 ( miles ) .
Latham's fast time this morning
gives him a splendid chance In both
the International cup and the speed
contests , 'ills time for the first three
rounds was 25 minutes , 50 % seconds.
Zeppelin III Ready for Trip.
Frledrlchshafen , Aug. 26. The air
ship Zeppelin III with which Count
Zeppelin will begin a voyage to Berlin
on this afternoon made a highly suc
cessful trip. The count himself who
left the hospital only three days ago
was at the wheel. The steering gear
has been Improved nnd the manner In
which It worked on trial trip delighted
Count Zeppelin.

ARMY TRIAL AT
"INSANITY"STAGE
DR. HILL OF DES MOINEB CROSS
EXAMINED IN CASE.
TESTIMONY TAKES NEW COLOR
The Physician Admits That His Dec-
laratlon That Crabtree Was SufferIng -
Ing From Dementia Precox , Was
Based on Hypothetical Question.
Omaha , Aug. 26. Dr. G. H. Hill , the
alienist from Dos Molnes who testi
fied for the defense In the Crabtree
courtmartlal trial at Fort Crook yes
terday , was cross examined at the
morning session today , being the only
witness 'heard. The Judge advocate ,
Captain P. E. Buchan , was assisted In
the cross examination by Major T. B.
ration , post surgeon at Fort Dos
i n'ul Co1J - MBannister of
to''lcnf * " , who Is a member
In his tco. ly yesterday Dr. Hill
expressed the opinion that Crabtree Is
suffering from a form of Insanity
known as "dementia precox , " and that
lie was so afflicted at the time he fa
tally shot his company commander ,
Captain Raymond. In answer to ques
tions today the witness admitted that
this opinion was based upon the hypo
thetical question propounded by the
attorney for the defense , rather than
upon personal observation of the ac
cused.
Dr. Hill also admitted during the
cross examination that the fact that
Crabtree served four years in the ma
rine corps , being mustered out at the
end of that time in a perfectly sound
physical condition , would tend to neg
ative the theory of "dementia precox. "
"If It were shown that the accused
was In an apparently normal condition
Immediately preceding the shooting ,
would that not tend to negative the
theory of dementia precox ? " was
asked of the witness. The latter said
he thought it would.
Dr. Hill was still on the stand when
adjournment was taken for lunch and
will continue his testimony this after
noon.
The government announced the in
tention of introducing a number of
new witnesses who have been sum
moned from TJes Molnes. It Is under
stood that an effort will be made to
establish the apparently normal condi
tion of Crabtree Just before the shootIng -
Ing of Captain Raymond and so en
deavor to discredit the "dementia pre
cox" theory.
The case will be carried over until
tomorrow , at least , and may not be fin
ished this week.
LINCOLN FACES GAR STRIKE
Street Car Employes File Demand for
Raise of 1 Cent an Hour.
Lincoln , Aug. 26. The local railway
employes' union today filed written
demand with the Lincoln Traction
company , which operates all street car
lines in this city , for an increase of
one cent an hour in pay , for one day
of each week for each employe and for
recognition of the union. It is ex
pected the company will resist the de
mands , as an increase of about one
cent an hour was granted by the com
pany two months ago.
While no threat to strike was made
In the demand filed today , it is prob
able the men will strike if the demand
is not granted.
About 200 men are employed , and of
these 150 are members of the union ,
affiliated with the national organiza
tion.
SPAIN BEGINS REAL WAR
Finding It Impossible to Dig Canal ,
General Marina Moves.
Madrid , Aug. 26. Official advices re
ceived here from Melllla , Morocco , say
the Spanish advance is encamped at
Restinga. A detachment pushed on
for a distance of four miles and occu
pied the market village of El Arabar ,
whpre abundant springs were found.
Melllla , Aug. 26. ( Tuesday ) . Expert
opinion has been Justified as it has
been found Impossible to cut the Mar-
chlca canal under four months. Gen
eral Marina , commander of the Span
ish forces , is wasting time in vain
regrets and decided to commence the
advance , which began today , In pre- ,
fcrence to resting along the sea front1
in Intense heat. The men , however ,
appear glad the long suspense Is ended
and that the war has really begun.
They displayed excellent spirits and
are greatly encouraged by the pies-
enco among them of the duke of Sara-
gossa and the marquis of Vallecer-
rate , who traveled direct from Cam
bridge university to volunteer.
The concentration of the whole army
will occupy several days and It is still
uncertain when General Marina will
start for the front. The commissar-
late is In good shape but the water
supply is a serious problem.
Two ships for condensing water are
hourly expected.
One effect of the failure to construct
the _ canal will be to limit the amount
of artillery accompanying the army , es-
! pecially.qulck flrers , as It is impossible
with the existing means of communica
tion to provide them with sufficient
ammunition.
GOV. JOHNSON OVERWORKED.
Governor Johnson's fourth operation' '
has not been set. (
The former operations were nil done
at the Rochester hospital , and In con
sequence of his frequent visits there
ho became a strong personal friend of
the hospital heads , Di * . Charles Mayo
and Dr. Will Mayo. After the third
operation ho seemed to be entirely re
covered , nnd symptoms of diseased In
testinal condition disappeared for sev
eral years. The recurrence Is sup
posed to have been caused by over
work In his campaigns and the Irreg
ular living necessary on the road.
Governor Johnson addressed a clmu-
tauqua today at Muryvllle , Mo. ; will
be at Nebraska City Friday ; Mcdlapo-
Us , la. , Saturday , and Urbana , 111. , on

ald today prints a dispatch from Mexico
ice City asserting that the United
States Ambassador David E. Thomp
son , has bought for approximately
$10,000,000 In gold the Pan-American
railroad , the only line running from
the north to the Central American bor
der. The dispatch says that Ambassa-
dar Thompson will remain in Mexico
permanently , although he has an
nounced his Intention of resigning his
diplomatic post.
The transfer is said to be entirely
In Mr. Thompson's name but it is said
that St. Louis capitalists are associat
ed with the diplomat In the transaction
and that the ultimate plan is to turn
over the system of 299 miles to E. H.
Harrlman as a part of a chain of roads
to extend from British Columbia to
Central America.
TAFT INSISTS
TALKING TARIFF
NOT AFRAID TO COME OUT WITH
VIEWS ON WESTERN TRIP.
INCENSED AT STORIES PRINTED
When It Was Called to the President's
Attention That People Were Saying
His Friends Urged Him to Omit Tar
iff Talk , He Bristled Up.
Washington , Aug. 26. That Presi
dent Taft is plainly Incensed at the
suggestion that he should not discuss
the tariff bill In Nebraska and other
middle west states on his trip next
month , is Indicated in special dispatch
es to eastern papers this morning.
Some characterize as all bosh the re
port that he has been advised to avoid
the tariff In the middle west , coupling
the statement with the assertion that
he will give his views on the Payne
bill in that section.
The Baltimore Sun , in a special from
Beverly says on the subject :
"Any possible doubt of the determi
nation of President Taft to debate the
new tariff act in the middle west was
removed today when he was shown a
dispatch from Washington. This story
stated that friends of the president
were urging him to abandon the pro
posed discussion of the tariff In states
whose senators and representatives
opposed its passage.
"When this was shown to the presi
dent on his porch at Burgess Point ,
his face hardened , his vacation atti
tude slipped from him like n drawn
vail and he stood out a fighter , ready
to stand by his action In sinning the
bill and his convictions. With a clear
ness and snaprlnn-n n' in'iKiinc'o which
seems to make the lu ° ue stand clearly
defined , he said that ho was not In the

will ask that the platform declaration
of the republican party In favor of

possible.
President Taft believes that several
hundred million dollars would he
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment through postal savings banks. It
Is suggested that this money might
well be employed In taking up the
$600,000,000 or $700,000,000 of govern

.lullus Kruttschnltt , director of opera
tion and maintenance of the Hnrrlman
railroads , who was In this city yester

first officer and thirteen members of
the crew of the French bark Gael ,
Captain Metyer , from London May 22 ,
for Portland , Ore. , have come Into

Strikers Driven From Homes.
Plttsburg , Aug. 26. The strike zone
of the Pressed Steel Car company at
McKees Rocks today presented a
scene of desolation. In a drizzling
rain families of strikers , on whom
eviction notices had been served , were
compelled to vacate the company
houses. For the first time in several
weeks , absolute quiet reigned. After
darkness last night not a shot was

the oldest son of Edward H. Harriman -
man , passed through Chicago on his
way to New York to see his father.
The young man has been working as
a chain man In a surveying gang In
the west with Louis Kruttschnitt , son
of Julius Kruttschnltt , one of Harri
man's chief lieutenants.
WHY > UTT ON IS NOT EXHUMED
Too Great Publicity Attended Plans
to Dig up Dead Lieutenant.
Washington , Aug. 26. The quarter
master's department of the army de
cided that too great publicity has been
given the plan to exhume the body of
Lieut. James N. Button- and it was
that reason the order permitting this
to be done was either rescinded or
held In abeyance.
Such was the explanation given her
over the telephone , says Mrs. Sutton ,
who desired the exhumation of the
body in order that the holy rite of the
Catholic church might be performed ,
the ground concentrated and the body
returned to Its resting place.
All arrangements had been made by
Mrs. Sutton nnd her daughter to pro
ceed to the cemetery yesterday after
noon , it Is said. A Catholic priest , em
powered by Cardinal Gibbons to con-
icecrate the ground , was to be with
the party , as was a civil physician and
a surgeon of the medical branch of
the army. It Is not believed the re
fusal to permit the disinterment at
this time means that the mother's
cherished purpose Is never to be gain
ed. Officials of the rank , even the
secretary of war himself , may take up
the case and extend the desired per
mission.
