LOUIS TO NEW YORK Believei He Can Cut Estimated Time of Ten Dayi. HE MAZES ONLY SHORT VISITS Suffers But Little Distress from Tre mendous Speed. FIRST STOP IS AT SPRINGFIELD First NlaetyElgkt Miles Is revered la Less Thaa Three Hoe re He Experts te Reach Boetea la Tea Days. CHICAGO. Aug. 14. By flying the 288 miles from St. Louis to Chicago with only two Intermediate stops and In an actual flying time of five hours and forty-three mlnutea today, Harry N. At wood of Boston believes he has set a pace which will re sult In his establishing a new record on his flight by aeroplane from St. Doula to New York and Boston. Atwood, In a Burgess-Wright biplane left St. Louis at 8.06 o'clock. He landed In Chicago at 6:18 o'clock. His total time be tween St. Louis and Chicago, counting the delays occasioned by the two stops, was ten hours and fourteen mlnutea, but his actual tVne In the air, computed by deduct ing the dVays, was five hours and forty three mln.es. This, Atwood aaserta. Is three hours and twelve minutes leaa than the scheduled time of exprtss trains for the same distance. Appearaace Dramatic, His reticent Into Chicago waa thrilling. Sailing in from the southwest, a lone speck In the clouds, he made direct for tha down town district, and for a time hovered un noticed 1 nthe distance over the sky scrapers. Thousands of people were crowded at the lake front Intent upon the flights of the aeroplanes competing In the aviation con tests. Atwood appeared on the scene as a stranger, unheralded and expected only by a few. Suddenly the crowd noticed the oncoming stranger and a voice shouted "that's At wood from Bt, Louis." Immediately the vaat assembly was In an uproar. Two airmen Bailed out to meet Atwood. Coming ateadly onward the aviator steered over tha aviation field and circled around It while several of the machines Hated in the meet followed aa an eaoort. Once around Atwood descended gracefully, touching the ground for the first time since hla stop at Fontiao, 111., ninety-one miles from Chicago. Will Beat Tea Days. Originally setting ten days as tha mini mum time for completing the l.tttf miles to' Boston, Atwood believes by the pace be aet today ha wll lbe able te materially re duce that estimate. ' ITe had - electee: not to be abia to reach Chicago before tomor row, but tnfaverable weather and the ex cellent working condition of his machine Induced him to shorten hla stops. His trlat stop, which waa made at Spring field, ninety-eight miles frsm St. Louis, after two heura and twenty-five minutes of flight, was to fulfill a promise, . Instead of remaining there until S o'clock he got away two hours earlier. He was scheduled to stop at Bloomington, III., but tha crowds assembled at hla proposed landing there wts so dense he ceuld not find a clear space large enough to land in safety, so he swept low and shaking his head neg atively at the people, continued. At Pon tlac be descended to replenish his supply of gasoline and lubricating oil. All that was suffered by the man whe thus nailed through the air at a speed greater than that of an express train, was a slight buxs In his ears caused by the chugging of his engine. Landed on hla feet was as calm as though he were merely a spectator who bad dropped in to watch the other aeroplanes. Tomorrow Atwod will resume his Journey eastward. He said he probably would take a course along the Lake Shore railroad. First Step at SprlBajfleld. SPRINGFIELD, III., Aug. ll.-Sweeptng over towns and Tillages apparently with perfect ease, Harry N. Atwood of boston. In his Burgess-Wright biplane, arrived in Springfield at 10. JO a. m. today, thu completing the first leg of his 1.4(mlle flight across the continent from St. Louis to New York and Boston by way of Chi cago. Atwood left the ground at St. Louis at 1:05 a. m. Ha covered the ninety-eight mlies to a point In Sjiringfield In two hours and twenty-five mlnutea, taking four min utes after hia appearance here In Capitol park. His highest altitude on tha trip, as reported; was 1,009 feet, but generally he kept lower, skimming over towns In easy view of the thousands whe turned out all along his route. In his effort to establish a new record breaking distance flight, stimulated by a prise offered by the St. Louis Post-Dla-patoh, Atwood made a singularly plo turesque and dashing spectacle when ha rose above St. Louis, swept across ths Mississippi river and dwindled Into a mare speck as he sailed away. Atwood Is carrying a letter on hla flight to Ogaretta lieHugh, daughter of Edward J. Ucliugh, agent In charge of tha St. Lsula district of the Treasury department (Continued en Beeend Page.)

RUNS TOO FAST OVER SWITCH Twe KneTlaea Pelliaa; the Flier Strike Third aad Pile fp Steel Pae eager Cars Save Maay Lives. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Aug. 14. Eiceeshe speed In passing a croas-over was the cause of the wreck of train No. 18, the Pennsylvania flyer, east bound one mile west of here, at :45 o'clock last night. This announcement was made by Pennsyl vania ofrioers today, after, arriving at the accident. The train was running at an estimated speed of fifty miles an hour.

Fireman Ira Burger of Fort Wayne and Engineer J. F. Wilson ef Fort Wayne, are dead. Wrecking crews are searching the debris for their bodiea Moat of the Injured are residents of Chicago or eastern cities. While the cause of the wreck riaa not been positively learned, the best explana tion seems to be that the second engine of the flyer, which iwaa a double-header, "split" a switch and threw the engine ahead of It from tha track. There was a flying wedge, the two left the track and crashed Into a westbound freight engine on the track to the north. AU of the seven sleeping cars on the passenger train ware derailed, but none turned ever. With one exception they were steel cars. List wf Vict lias. The dead: VALENTINE SNYDER, Crest Una.

Pope Continues to Improve Slowly Pontiff Able to Sit Up and Discusses Questions Relating to Church in America. ROMaf, Aug. 14. The physicians found Pope Plus today change omj tittle from yeaterday, when a slow but gradual Im provement was perceptible. His tempera ture was slightly below thst of ths night, during which It was 98.7. The weather was cooler today and the patient was more cheerful. The pontiff sat up again and Dr. Pet tacd and Dr. Marchefava suggested that bo remain longer In his arm chair, as they thought this position helped to restore his strength. After seeing Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal secretary of state, and Monslgnor Blslett major Como of the Vatican, the pope asked for Cardinal De Lai, secretary of the conslstoiial congregation, with whom he wished to discuss several question re lating to the church In America. The reports from the United States that Archbishop Jamee Edward Qulgley of Chi cago bad been elevated to the eardlnaUate are srated to be wholly unfounded. The pope It la asserted hss never considered holding a consistory for such a purpose. It is generally known that because of this year's celebration of the Jubilee of Italian unity a consistory would not be held before December at the earliest, while R Is more likely to be held next year.

At the docks only a portion of the men returned to work and a good deal of un easiness prevailed as many of tha men re fused to accept ths settlement arranged by their leaders. The same descriptions fits the situation at the railway stations, where many of the porters and carters are demanding greater concessions than had been agreed on. Quiet has been restored at Liverpool, fol lowing yesterday's rioting, when a police man waa killed and some 300 offlaers and civilians were wounded. Glasgow, where the street railway men are on strike, was also quieter.

Although there has been no recrude scence ef the state of war that existed last night, matters were so threatening today that the war offices practically took charge of the situation.

The strike committee has written to ths railroad companies, gugresHng a confer ence with a view to settlement. The Canard officials announced that the steamer Caronla will be unable to saU for New York tomorrow. Between and 300 saloon passengers, the greater number of them Americans, will be delayed. Christian street, located In a rough quar ter of Uverpool, was the scene of rioting this afternoon. The police and soldiers quickly routed the mob. but not before a saloon waa wrecked- The merchants are boarding up their store windows with the expectation of trouble tonight. The railroad companies thus far have Ignored the suggestion that the railroad officials and strike leaders hold a confer ence with a view to reaching a settlement of the strike, and at a meeting of the strike committee this afternoon Tom Mann announced that unless a reply waa re ceived In the Interim the entire number of local transport workers would be called out tomorrow.

Aug. 14 -The conference report on the wool tariff revision hill carrying a flat duty of per cent on raw wools and corresponding reduced rates on wool manufacturers Waa adopted today by the house. 306 to 90. The senate is ex pected to agree to It tomorrow, thus nut. ting the measure up to the president's ex pected veto. Twenty-nine republican representatives and one independent republican voted for the bill. No democrat voted against It. The house action was officially reported to the senate Immediately, When the report was made Repua- . Ilcan Leader Mann at once made a point of order that ths report could not be considered because the conferees had exceeded their authority by fixing tariff rates on certain manufactures of wool higher than the same rates were made In either the house or senate bill. Speaker Clark overruled Mr. Mann's point of order that the conferees had exceeded their authority. Work ea Free List Report. The conference report on the farmers' free list tariff bill was circulated amnna- the conferees today for their signatures. but the absence of some of them showed that the presentation of the renort would be delayed. The bill, as a conference re- port, will be presented to the senate In advance of Its presentation to the house and there Is little doubt that the senate will Insist on the acceptance of the measure, practically aa It passed that body. The elimination of corn from the Km amendment probably will be asked. Other wise the Kern amendment limiting the free Importation of cereals and meats to countries with which the United States has reciprocal trade agreements will be retained. The senate will refuse to accept the houce amendment adding lemons to the free list and the house on this In all probability will yield, thua obviating the necessity for any further conference and assuring final passage of the bill. House leaders have agreed that the vote on any veto measures that came from the president shall be taken on Friday. Senator Cummins declared that Canadian reciprocity had become an Important po litical question and that the republican party before the next election would hava to determine whether It waa a republican, party or not.
