HAMILTON FLIES
IN THE PRESENCE
OF VAST CROWD
A. W. Brewerton. Cartoonist
of The Journal, the First
Atlanta Man to Make the
Trip With the Aviator
TUESDAY ORPHANS’ DAY
AT THE BIG SPEEDWAY
The uvernp l person who saw Charles
K. Hamilton perform his marvelous
Munts in his Glenn Curtiss aeroplane at,
the speedway Monday was so awed that J
• he had to sleep over the experience be- '
fore expressing himself. Even then he
was half inarctiulate.
It was a wonderful, a thrilling per- :
• formance. Withal, it was Jone with I
apparent ease that one was inclined
to discredit the wonderfulness of it all. »'
Imagine if you c- » a smail man i
weighing not more than 120 pounds—.
a man with the reddish skin of one who
lias been buffeted by salt waves and
beaten about by air currents of biting 1
air. A pleasant fgee. witnal. A face of J
absolute good humor. Stick in that face .
a cork-tipped cigarette, let the cigarette
remain lighted always and you have a
hazy notion of Hamilton.
Hamilton Is a living refutation of the
popular theory that cigarettes are bad
for the nerves. The first •ling he does ,
before making a flignt Is to light one. ,
Frequently during his stay in the air he |
rights another. Invariably on coming I
to the ground the frst thing he does is ,
to strike a match on the seat of his
trousers and begin puffing away.
AN IMPORTVNA-!: CROWD.
. hen tne crowd of Monday first
viewed she fragile-looking craft in
which Hamilton does his daring stunts .
t. e average person ho had been keen !
to make the trip lost courage. After I
seeing him make one trip, however, doz-!
ens wanted to accompany nim. Judge I
Marcus W. Heck, of the supreme court,
was one of the most importunate. He
will make the trip this afternoon. ,
A. W. Brewerton, cartoonist of '1 ne
Journal, was the first Atlantian to make
the trip. Mr. Brewerton's impressions
are given elsewhere. Ton. Bryson, of
the Constitution, also made the trip. It
Is possible Hamilton will take up one of
the two ladies who have made formal
■plpication Tuesday afternoon.
RACE WITH AX AUTO.
Hamilton's race with the 20-horsepower
•’SPO” car was the distinct feature of
the early afternoon, Monday, out at the
speedway.
The race was for four miles, or twice
around the track. John Juhafz was at
the wheel of the speedy little car.
Hamilton made bis start from the
north end of tbe bleachers, and arose
gracefully In front of the grand stand,
with the motor car getting a flying start
beside him. Hamilton was 150 feet In the
airs when he swept around the south
turn, with the car 100 yards ahead.
Hamilton was 50 yards ahead when they
shot away into the back stretch again.
He was still leading by about 25 yards
at the third mile. A moment later, and
the car caught him. The man-bird re
covered his pace, and passed the motor
car in the north turn by about 35 yards
at a height of 900 feet or so. At the
grand stand she aviator dipped, and the
car and the flier ran almost a dead heat
to the tape. The flier had a couple of ]
feet the advantage when they crossed |
the line, and was hardly a man’s height l
over the roaring car on the ground.
The time was given out as 1 minute
and 58 seconds for the first 2 miles and
3 minutes and 16 seconds for the whole
distance. J. M. Nye rode with Juhafz
in the motor car.
Hamilton shot on around the south turn
after the finish and while the crowd was
still cheering cut over into the paddock,
where he flew for several minutes more,
cutting figure S's, and making other elab
orate turns. He Anally swung around
and lit in front of the grand stand, hop
p ng along on his rollers to a stop.
While the band played some more live
ly tunes and Hamilton got in order for
another trip into the air. Herbert Lytle
tore up the track surface for a few
r< unds on a speed test.
ANOTHER RUNNING START
Hamilton got another running start and
slipped upward while this was going on
It was a sort of continuous performance.
He cut a caper or two in the south turn,
to the great amusement of the crowds
and then soared over to where a Georgia
n.ule of old-fashioned ideas was grazing
a». one end of a rope with a Georgia ne
gro at the other end. The negro and
the mule had been watching the big bird
suspiciously every time it came near
them, and when they saw it headed
straight for them now there was con
sternation. The crowd, far across In
the grand stand, caught on and roared.
Hamilton ducked savagely at the pair. |
and the negro dodged one way while
the mule went the other. Hammon
chose the mule, and chased him around
the big inclosure until the crowd's sides
were sore and its throats hoarse.
Hamilton lit for a minute or two and
then got after the pestered mule again.
The big metal bird seemed almost en- I

nagged the frenzied animal around the
enclosure end then quit now and again
to indulge in other playful pranks, cut
ting fancy cape-s and figures like a
sportive poll-parrot. Finally he took a
shoot upward, and soared up and up
until he swayed In the air over 4<»o feet
shove the ground. From that altitude
be dipped to the grandstand, and
streaked past to cut a figure "8” in the
south turn and swung back to light tn
front of the grandstand.
At 5:30 o’clock Alfred Brewerton, The
Journal's cartoonist, climbed into the
teat of the big frame beside Hamilton
end hade his sad friends a long and last
irg farewell. He gave final Instructions
s’mut the disposal of iiis estate, and
away he sailed. Hamilton guided the

The big races at the Atlanta speedway

REGULARSSEEK AID OF
DEMOCRATS IN DISTRESS
by Ralph smith.
i
WASHINGTON. D. C., May s.—Routed ,
and ready to surrender, the regular Re- |
publicans of the senate are seeking to
' make satisfactory terms on the railroad
bill with the Democrats. Through Sen
ator Elkins they have proposed to Sen
ator Clay that all the rail —u bills hav
ing the commerce court clause, and sec
tions 8, 9 and 10. be killed outright, pro
vided all Democratic amendments are
withdrawn and all ins rgent amend
ments defeated.
Senator Clay has not accepted ths
E.Kins proposal, but the question will
be submitted to a Democratic caucus to
be called upon Senator Bailey's return
from New York. The Republican reg
ulars have been moved to seek terms
with the Democrats because they fear
coa.itlon between Democrats and Insur
gents may result in the adoption of the
Dixon long and short haul amendment.
Rather than enact legislation so dis
tasteful to the railroads as the long and
short haul proposition, they would pre
j fer to abandon the entire bill.

bird to a height of about 50 feet over
1 the track and at this heignt Mr. Brewer
; ton was waving his handkerchief to the
I crowds below.
Mr. Brewerton, the first man besides
Hamilton to fly in Atlanta, stepped to
Mother Earth again in front of the
' bleachers, and consented to tell The
Journsl how it felt to be up in the air
I literally.
I “It's got automobiling backed off the
. boards." said Mr. Brewerton. “It is
very thrilling, and 1 feel better than I
■exer felt before in my - life."
Announcement was made that Mr.
. Brewerton would go up again Tuesday
afternoon in another sensational and
< death-defying flight with Aviator Ham
, j ilton.
Tom Bryson, Jr., another Atlanta
newspaper man, tried a flight with
j Hamilton next, passing the grandstand
lat a height of eight feet, alighting at
|the bleachers.
I He circled once around the 2-m!le
course, and came hack to the grand
' stand. Directly in the middle of that,
he shut off his power and dropped like a
plummet from 150 feet to within a foot
of the ground, when he threw on his
power and with a tremendous Jerk was
j soaring up again.
He arose to a height of 500 feet from
I this start, and swept the course once
' more. Tie came hack to the grandstand
j and described several circles at about
half that height.
At 500 feet height he shut his motot
t dow n.
A couple of seconds later he stopped
just off the surface of the ground and
1 gently lowered the big bird to its
r wheels, in his tracks on the course m

SAYS SOUTH WILL
KEEP PROHIBITION

A
teresting matters that will be brought
before the conference will be the election
of six additional bishops, the demand of
women for laymen’s rights, the control of
Vanderbilt university at Nashville, the |
change of the church's name and other
matters.
The auditorium, where the conference
is being held, presented an Interesting
secne this morning. Places for the dif
ferent delegations had been assigned,
large placards having been posted to
designate them. The advance guards had
arrived Tuesday and practically all of
the delegates were present when the con
ference was convened.
All of the bishops of the conference,
except Bishop Fitzgerald, are in attend
ance. These include Bishops Candler
Hendrix. Wilson, Hoss, Morrison, Key
and Atkins.
Bishop Fitzgerald's health is too feeble
to permit him to make the journey to
Asheville. Aside from the devotional ex 4
enrises w-hich form a major portion of
the conference sessions, the main feature
of the program today was the episcopal
address. This address is really the re
port of the house of bishops upon the
condition of the church together with
such recommendations as the bishop may
deem advisable. It Is a composite ad
dress to which all the bishops con
tribute.
Bishop Morrison in his opening prayer,
prayed God that “the hand of the Al
mighty had been with the church in its
fight against the evils of the land, the
whisky curse, the divorce evil, and the
desecration of the Sabbath.”
COMMITTEE ON RULES.
Rev. A. F. Watkins, of Mississippi. w - as
chosen secretary of the general confer
ence and a committee appointed to pro
vide rules and an order of business.
Pending a report of this committee, the
rules of the last general conference will
be declared in effect.
An at tern]* to vhange committees was
opposed by many delegates. Instead of
the committee on temperance It was pro
posed to name one on normal and social
reform, and instead of one on colportage,
one on general church relations.
Amendments and substitutes poured in
rapidly, but after some debate the
change, which it was explained was one
in name only, was adopted.
A motion to put one layman upon each
14 standihg committees and to provide
that 25 should constitute a quorum in
each committee was lost. It was ex
plained that some delegations had only
one layman and that If he were put on
14 committees he Would be absent from
13.
Taking It for granted that he would
attend the most important committee, his
absence from the other meetings at the
same time would deprive them of a quo
rum. A special committee on the lay
men's missionary movement was named
and then the different conferences named
their members on the 14 standing com
mittees.
HENDRI XREADS ADDRESS.
Bishop E. R. Hendrix, of Kansas City,
began the episcopal address at 11:15. Its
Introduction, couched in the quaint
phrazology of the olden days, struck the
Interest of the vast audience and held it
' breathless until the close. It was to the
conference what a president's message
is to congress—an outline of what the ex
ecutive forces of the church desire tn the
way of laws from the legislative branch.
It stated the Methodists now number
ed 2.000,000 souls, the second largest pro
testant church in the world.
It gives its gains in the last four years
as 207,754. At present over 7,000 traveling
and 4.000 local ministers are in service.
The church property now owned is worth
370,000.000 and $4000,000 was spent for
churches and parsonages during the pa*t
year.
The address treated of the foreign mis
sions in detail and showed an immense
increase i nthe value of property owned
by the church in foreign countries.
BISHOP WILSON PRESIDES.
Bishop Wilson called the conference to
order, but it was nearly 10 o'clock before
he rapped for order and the delegates
were In their places. Bishop E. E. Hoss,
of Nashville, gave out the opening hymn
and Bishop Wilson recited the Apostles'
Creed and offered the opening prayer.
Bishops Key and Atkins read the
scriptures, followed by an invocation by
Dr. Frank Richardson.
PUMP?AILSTO DRAlfi
“BOTTOMLESS WELL”
DALTON. G«., Msy 5. —The effort to pump
‘‘the bottomless well" dry we« made here yes
terday and after several hours' work with a
pump, capable of brlnxinK up 2.000 gallons of
water per hour, the attempt waa given tip as a
l-ad Job. The well I* located In the north
western part of tbe elty. and it Is believed
that an underground creek or river flows
through It.
Whtn the well was being dug here some
time ago. a portion of i’ - - bottom “fell out.”
and a roaring sound similar to the sound mada
by a waterfall was distinctly beard. Since that
time the well, although It has excellent water,
has not been used. A larger pump will be at
tached to the engine near the well and another
test will be made within a short time.

HALF OF SENATE SEATS
OUUOHI MASON SAYS
Former Senator Makes Start
ling Statement Anent Lori
mer Bribery Snsation
CHICAGO. May 4.—"1 believe that 50
per cent of the seats in the United
States senate can be said to have been
practically purchased.”
This statement was made here today by
former United States Senator William
Mason In the course of an interview.
Mr. Mikson denied a report that he had
said he heard at Springfield before the
election that the senatorial toga would go
to the highest bidder.
“I have two Defcnocratlc state
state representatives who will give
important evidence before the special
grand jury in regard to the alleged brib
ery in the election of William Lorimer
as United States senator,” said State’s
Attorney John Wayman today on his
return from a mysterious visit to St.
I.ouis and the southern part of Illinois.
BOTH ARE LEGISLATORS.
These witnesses will appear before the
grand Jury on Saturday and tell some
important things about the election of
Mr. Lorimer,” continued Mr. Wayman.
“1 am not at liberty to give their names,
but I will say they are members of the
state legislature whose names have not
been mentioned thus far in the investiga
tion. Their identity will be a complete
surprise.
“I brought no one back with me. I
left Detective Murnane, of my office, in
St. Louis, to finish up the work there.
The two men in question will positively
appear before the Jury on Saturday.
“I consider that my trip to St. Louis
has been signally successful. I have
nothing more to say.”
Mr. Wayman disappeared after the
grand jury session Monday and did not
say where he was going. It was not
known here until word came from St.
Louis last night that he was there. The
grand jury was in session only a short
tiime and no evidence was heard in the
Lorimer case because of Mr. Wayman’s
absence.

DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUE
(By Associated Brets.)
WASHINGTON. May 4.—Declaring that
his state of Oregon has evolved "the
best form of popular’ government that
exists in the world today,” Senator Jon
athan Bourne, Jr., Republican, today
election bv ii Oregoi
state legislature of his Democratic col
league, Senator Chamberlain. He char
acterized It as the “highest kind of
evidence of the efficacy of the law.” Af
ter outlining the contest, Mr. Bourne
said:
“At the general election In June, Sen
ator Chamberlain defeated Mr. Cake,
notwithstanding the state was over
whelmingly Republican, thereby develop
ing him from the Democratic candidate
Into the people's choice for United States
s< uator. The normal Republican major
ity In regon, Ithink, is from 15,000 to
20.000.
“With full recognition of Mr. Chamber
lain’s ability and fitness for the office,
the fact that for nearly six years he
made the best governor Oregon ever had,
and considering that undoubtedly he is
the most, popular man in our state, 1
deem it but just to the law and a proper
answer to the criticism of enemies of the
law. that it destroys party lines and in
tegrity, to state that, in my opinion, Sen
ator Chamberlain received the votes of
several thousand Republican enemies of
the law who believed that in selecting
Governor Chamberlain, a Democrat, they
would prevent a Republican legislature
from ratifying the people’s selection,
obeying the peoples instructions and
electing as United States senator the in
dividual, regardless of party, that the
people might select for that office.
“Thus they hoped to make the primary
law and statement No. 1 odious and
sought to create what they thought would
be an impossible condition by - forcing
upon a Republican legislature for con
firmation the popularly designated Demo
cratic candidate for United States sen
ator.
"They failed to realize that greater
than party, and infinitely greater than
any individual, the people's choice be
comes a representative of the principal.”

BOSTON SEES BATTLE
BETWEEN MHLK DEALERS
BOSTON. May s—Still plentifully supplied
with milk. Boston today watched with InterAt
the battle of endurance between the contractors
and producers. On the one hand. It is a ques
tion of how long the contractors will be able
to supply milk to the local market without the
help ~f the farmers of New England, while, on
the other hand, the farmers are facing the total
I wiping out the income which they have de
i rived from the sale of thei r mtlk.
No immediate results are expected from any
[ action which may be taken by tbe legislature.
I ns it is not believed committees of Investigation
so appointed could report inside of several
weeks, even if their reports would bring any
relief.
Tn view of representations made by the pro
ducers' representatives to Mayor John F. Fitz
gerald, the mayor notified Chairman L'urgm
of the Boston board of health that much milk
unfit for use was being brought into Boston,
and that a more thorough inspection was de
manded.
THINKS CO-EDUCATION
NOT DESIRABLE IN EAST
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May s.—T^ - baron
Briggs, president of Radcliffe college and
dean of Harvard, things co-education in
eastern colleges is not desirable. Dean
Briggs says:
“Contrary to tbe experiences of pri
vately endowed institutions of learning,
the state universities, as far as I can
judge, have made co-education work
practical. So. too. °
favorable to the perpetuation of the sys
tem there. Co-educaticn has been a fail
ute here in the east for many reasons,
and perhaps the strongest and a sufficient
one has been/ that the students them
selves, the men and the women, have
objected to it.” I
A Clean Man ft
Outside cleanliness is less than half the battle. A man may Jgg— fjgA
scrub himself a dozen times a day, and still be unclean. Good
health means cleanliness not only outside, but inside. It means
a clean stomach, clean bowels, clean blood, a clegji liver, and
new, clean, healthy tissues. The man who is clean in this way
will look it and act it. He will work with energy and think - M
clean, clear, healthy thoughts. gS |
He will never be troubled with liver, lung, stomach or blood
disorders. Dyspepsia and indigestion originate in unclean stom
achs. Blood diseases are found where there is unclean blood.
Consumption and bronchitis mean unclean lungs.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
prevents these diseases.. It makes a man’s insides clean
and healthy. It cleans the digestive organs, makes pure,
clean blood, and clean, healthy flesh. '
It restores tone to the nervous system, and cures nervous exhaustion and
prostration. It contains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs.
Constipation is the most unclean uncleanliness. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pel
lets cure it. They never gripe. Easy to take as candy.

“I wish Seth Bulloch was here to see
your small Olaf; ne would be delighted
with him.” *
While the ex-president was in his
room arranging his papers and dictating
letters, the king came in quite informahy
and asked: ’Wouldn't you like to have
a cup of tea?”
“By George. I would,” replied the col
onel. The king rang and for more than
an hour the two sat drinking tea and
talking on u variety of subjects. The
king asked many question); and presented
many of his opinions on matters relat
ing to the United States.
Colonel Roosevelt told of some of his
ranching experiences and of one effective
speech he had made in a western min
ing camp against free silver, while Seth
Bulloch sat on, a platform behind him.
HeTSpoke for an hour and not a man in
terrupted him. Everyone in the house
seemingly was deeply interested. At the
conclusion of the speech he said to one
of his ranching friends:
“I think I held the audience pretty
well.”
“Held the audience well!” exclaimed
his friend, "Seth Bulloch, with a six
shooter In each hand watching the
crowd, had given the tip that he'd pene
trate thr first man who peeped.”
