Rodgers, third aviator to start on the transconti nental flight for the Hearst prize, rose from the race track at Sheepshead Bay this afternoon, swept in a wide circle over the grounds, and then headed north west until his white-winged flyer merged into a 1 bank of clouds over the Jersey meadows and disappeared.. He drove, a Wright biplane and carried message from Mayor Gaynor to the mayor of San Francisco, and from the commanders of the eastern division of the array and navy to the commanders on the Pacific coast, crossed Broadway at a height ot 3,000 feet and covered the mile from that point across the river In less than a minute. He was going as steadily as a clock when he soared over the city and evidently was not bothered by the "air holes" that have troubled other aviators. At 6:07 he was reported passing over Campbell Hall Junction, sixty-six miles from the start, headed for Middletown. The aeroplane looked almost like a toy at the starting grounds, as it measured only thirty-eight feet from tip to tip. while the aviator stands six feet four. and weighs 192 pounds.

HARRIKTON ON HARMAN Holt County Leader Renews Charges Against Democratic Nominee. CALLS HBI C0RP0BATI0N MAN Proposes Plan for- 1912 Which He Thinks Will Bring Bryan and Harmony and Wilson to Success. M. F. Harrington of O'Nell returns to his attack on Clarence E. Harmon, the democratic candidte fo&. railway corn mlsaloner In this jlSsUo Ths Bee: ' "NeVr Sepa-Ii ''lal""" T :' Since the primary ' returns declared Clarence E. Harman to be the democratic nominee for railway commissioner, I have had a multitude ot requests for a public sta'ment bt my attitude upon his candi dacy. These have been personal inquiries, newspaper suggestions, letters and even telegrams. That the opinion of a private citizen, who has never been a candidate for office and seeks none, should be thus called for can only be explained upon the ground that some of the public at least have an Intense Interest in the election of a man for railway commissioner who will serve the people and not the rail road a What Nominated Harman. Harman was The nomination of Mr. brought about by Joint Influences: t As I pointed out in an Interview be fore the primaries, the opposition to him was divided. There were three other can didates. These three candidates In the aggregate received about twice as many votes aa Mr. Harman. but nevertheless he had a plurality. The votes thus cast against him show that even in a content where the democratic primary vote was light that the democratic voters are sound at heart and that they were only defeated because divided. I The opposition given to Mr. Harman on the primary ballot waa to hll advan tage. a He and the railroads, who were be hind him, by newspaper advertising and thousands of personal letters, stirred up a certain amount of sympathy for him on the alleged ground that be was being abused. This Is always the claim of cor poration heelers whose records will not bear investigation. To let the public know the truth Is always treated as abusive by the special Interests. In addi tion to this. In the letters were enclosed copies ot Mr. Herman's statement offer ing to clear himself of Joeing a railroad Janizary If given a chance to do so be fore the state committee. Of course, the state committee has no authority to subpoena witnesses and very few citi zens care to mix up in an affair of this kind voluntarily. Te only place where the truth could be learned was In a court of justice. But In the short time that lapsed before the primary the ordinary voter did not always get to understand this situation. Dahlman and Harman Coupled. 4. The railroads and the most important liquor Interests combined to nominate Mr. Harman. It waa urged by them that his principal opponent was W. J. Furse, who was appointed to fill the railway commlsalonershlp vacancy by Mr. Shall- enberger and who had been Shallen berger's private secretary. The liquor In terests, unfriendly to Shallenberger, were urged to "take a shot at Furse" In order to get even with Shallenberger An analysis of the vote will show that wher ever a good vote was given Mr. Dahl man In the primary last year that a light vote waa given Mr. Harman in the pri maries this year. The democratic party is not entitled to an existence unless it it to be the cham pion of the people s rlgt ts. Up to this ttme the great special Interests have been camped within the republican party. They now figure that the democrats are "headed in" for Washii gton. and they are unusually active In endeavoring to secure rower and control within the dem ocratic party. ., Their plan "will be to divide the people and by division conquer.

In the evening, aided by testimony given by Howard, they secured a license and were married by the county Judge. A few minutes later the couple were rec ognized by descriptions sent broadcast by the irate father tn Manilla, and he was notified. He ordered that both men be held on a charge of abduction. The girl was placed on a train by a deputy sheriff and was taken to her home. Miss Robertson was formerly a tele phone operator In Manilla, and Weaver was the proprietor of a small restaurant. His attentions to Miss Robertson met with the displeasure of the father and the elopment followed.

Sept. 17 -Traceable to the high price of the necessaries of lite Hots broke out todav and many persons were killed 'or wounded Troops fired on the mob, which had erected barricades In the streets. There was a fierce exchange of bullets and the soldiers were pelted with all sorts of missiles. , Following a huge socialistic demonstra tion outside the Rathhaus. held for the purpose of protesting against the high price of food. It became necessary to call out troops to disperse the rioters. In the early clashes flf'v of the rioters were wounded and 100 arrested. Fifty thousand persona were present at the demonstration, and fiery speeches were made, demanding that the govern- ' ment permit the Importation of foreign ' meat and take other measures to remedy, the conditions which have resulted from, the prohibitory Increase In . the price of food products. After the meeting a large procession marched to the parliament buildings, cheering for revolution and Portugal.' Revolvers were fired in the air and then the mob began stone throwing. The windows of many public and private ' buildings, restaurants and tram cars and street lamps were smashed. Finally a squadron of dragoons and a detachment of Infantry appeared on the scene. They charged the rioters and dis persed them. The mob reassembled, however. In the suburbs which are occu pied by the working class, where they wrecked more property. The troops were retained throughout the day guarding tha Imperial palace and government buildings and holding all approaches to the Inner city. ' The' agitation is the culmination of -months of bitter discontent over the steady increase In the cost, not only of food, but of lodging, clothes and all the necessaries of life, and unless parliament takes action It Is feared that the develop ment of the disturbances will be serious. .

' -' The rioting was of a most determined uRciauv lnnnmen pv rne arrearrre. 0- cial account states that only one persoa was killed by -a bayonet- thrust, several wounded by a Volley and about sixty seriously Injured.? It is believed that the casualties were much higher.' Unofficial reports say that 'six persons were killed and more than 200 severely injured. It appears that the socialist party, al though they encouraged the demonstra tion, had refused to take any responsi bility for the maintenance ot order and had ' appointed no committees to control the proceedings. Hence everything de volved upon the police, who, after show ing praiseworthy patience and forbear ance, became hard pressed and were obliged to call for military aid. The ap pearance of the troops Intensified the wrath of the rioters, who shouted: "We want no military. We want bread" Stone throwing became Incessant and clashes between the police and the mob, with cavalry charges, continued through- ifui liis aiiciuuuu. Stone Own Leader. Besides smashing windows in all direc tions, the mob completely wrecked a cafe and demolished an automobile standing In the street. The rioters tore down tha palisading in the Rathhaus park, from which theyv removed the seats to build barricades. At the height of the disorder the socialist leader. David, tried to calm the crowd, but the lnfurated mob set upon blm and beat him into unconscious ness. He was removed to a hospital streaming with blood. All available cavalry were brought out to line the streets and protect the public buildings. The rioting In the Ottakrlng quarter was still more serious. Tram cars were overturned and hops were wrecked. The mob forced Its way into a school house and dragged forth all the furniture Into the street and burned it. The troop were obliged twice to fire into the crowd and many rioters fell. It was near midnight before a sem blance of order was restored. There are fears of a renewal of the scenes tomorrow morning.
