STURT ATWOOD'S
‘LEISURELY FIT'
Aviator Finds That 'He Has
Covered More Than Half of
Journey in Four Days.
DINED AND TOASTED BY
CLEVELAND MILLIONAIRES
He Is Undetermined Whether
to Spend Night at Erie or
Continue to Buffalo, N. Y.
Cleveland, O.—Ninety-five miles in
an air line to Erie was Harray N. At
wood’s schedule for his aeroplane
flight today. Atwood, who already
has covered more than half of the
1,265 miles of his proposed flight from
St. Louis to New York to establish
a new world’s cross-country aeroplane
record, said he did not expect to leave
Cleveland until some time after 12
o’clock.
If he lands at Erie for the night
It will be the shortest one-day run
he has made since he left St. Louis
last Monday, however,, he said if he
found the weather favorable he might
reascend at Erie and continue on to
Btifalo.
He probablj* will sail over Ashta
bula, 0., without stopping, although
there is a possibility he may alight
there for a brief rest.
Over Half Way.
"A leisurely fly today,” said At
wood as he went out to test his bi
plane. “When I landed in Cleveland
I found I was just 10 1-2 miles more
than half way from St. I.ouis to New
York and I was only four days on
the way. At the same rate I can do
the whole trip in eight days. If there
ere no accidents and tolerable favor
able weather I ought to fly over New
York in five days at the most.”
Atwood is still undecided as to the
proposed continuation of his flight
to DOston.
This morning, following arrange
ments hastily completed last flight
•Atwood "was to give several exhibi
tions of flying. One of these was to
extend to the Country Club, where
the aviator was dined and toasted at
the hands, of the millionaire colony
last night. J. H. Wade, Jr., Cleve
land’s noted ballon pilot, is a n eager
applicant for a rifle in Atwood's Bur
gess-Wright biplane and the aviator
may take hint aboard as a passenger.
Attach Biplane.
The attachment of Atwood’s bi
plane last night by a constable acting
for the Standard Oil Company will
mot delay his, flight in any way. Bond,
which he furnished, more than cov
ers the amount of the claim. It is
estimated that 50,000 persons will be
on hand at Euclid Boach today to
bid the aviator good bye.
Indications are for a bright day
with a fair breeze.

Dr. Wiley, who made the request
for the records explained that they
were official printed regulations and
decisions which had later been with
drawn and changed after the interest
ed parties, the food manufacturers,
had protested against them.

to do with deciding what was whis
key, Dr. Wiley said:
“I would rather let him state.”
Dr. Wiley discussing his famous
“poison squad experiments,” said:
“I took up the experiment with
borax first to get experience for what
I considered more important experi
meits. I did not think it was harm
ful when I began.”

on these investigations had not been

Struggle on in Earnest.
London.—So critical does the gov
ernment. regard the t ..rike situation
and so urgent may be the need of in
stant legislation that the cabinet sud
denly decided this afternoon tlwit Par
liament should not adjourn today, as
had been arranged.
Chancellor Lloyd-George, who was
leading the government forces in the
house of commons in the absence of
Premier Asquith, made the announce
ment just before the lower chambers
session was suspended for luncheon.

delayed until Tuesday next and this
was agreed to.

livered a stern warning to the disor
derly elements. He said that there
had been no disturbances in London,
but several attempts had been made
to commit outrages against railway
property. It wan important that all
should understand that such acts were
crimes of the most serious character,
punishable with penal servitude. It
was early yet to measure the extent
of the strike but the government was
taking all necessary steps.

companies and the striking union em
ployes is on in dead earnest.

Suffering among the poorer classes

DIFFICULTY IN MOVING

Considering Appointment of
Royal Commission as Pro
posed by British Premier.
London. —At noon the strike Ordered
lust: night by the Amalgamated So
ciety of Railway Servants and Allied
organizations of employes had been
only a partial success. Some of the
railway lines were operating very few
trains, while on other roads the ser
vice was practically normal.
The military held possession of the
stations along the lines, but not for
the purpose at present of Interfering
In the strike except to protect men
desiring to work and guard the prop
erty of the companies. Meantime the
government continued its efforts to
avert a general stoppage of the tranfr*
port, service of the country.
Kuxton, president of the board of
trade, who had an early morning call
from Viscount Richard D. Haldane,
secretary of state for war, again met
the railway managers.
Officials in Session.
The officials of the union were in
session at Unity Hall considering th«
government’s suggestion for the ap
pointment of a royal commission
which could investigate and report
what amendments if any should be
made to the conciliation agreement
now existing between the owners and
the employes, explained by Chancellor
David Lloyd-George in the house of
commons last night. When the sug
gestion of a royal commission was
made by Premier Asquith yesterday
it was accepted by the managers but
rejected by the men, who seemed to
f<"*l that such an arrangement would
mean a long delay in the adjustment
of their grievances. The chancellor
explained that the men had misunder
stood the premier’s proposal. It was
Intended, tie said, to glvo them fair
play and not "to lure out of their
hands the great weapon of striking.”
Commission of Three.
The plan was to appoint a commis
si'»n of three, one from tho ru 11 road
company, one from tho strikers and
tho third, the chairman, a man well
known for his impartiality. Its mom
bers would he appointed on Saturday
and Its deliberations begin on Mon
day. The chancellor said that he had
not give up hope that the employes
would accept this arrangement when
its purposes were thoroughly under
stood.
Tho statement of the chancellor had
much to do with preventing a more
general response to the loaders’ call
for strike. Many even of the union
men wore reluctant to quit so long
as there was a possibility of their
grievances being considered by an Im
partial body.
50,000 Troops Como.
Some f'o,ooo troops arrived in Lon
don during the night and early morn
ing found them encamped at points
where they were able to protect tho
lines of communication acordlng to a
plan worked out months ago by a com
mission composed of railroad men and
military men appointed to adopt a
scheme for protecting these lines in
the event of a foreign invasion.
The plan worked perfectly last night
and long before Londoners were about
this morning tho various military
units were at their Post.
Should the strike become general,
the .obLcrs could help but little in
moving the trains, as there are only
t *ee companies of royal engineers.
Constant Conflicts.
Coventry, Eng.—Seventy per cen'
of the railroad men In this district
have gone out. Today there were
co istant conflicts between the police
on one hand and men and women on
the other, in efforts by the latter to
prevent the movement of goods.
Hand to Hand Fights.
Birmingham, Eng.—Sharp hand to
hand fighting between police and
strikers occurred here this afternoon
(luring attempts to restock the whole
sale meat markets, which are prac
tically empty. Wagons were un
loaded at the railway depot, but as
soon as they appeared on the street,
they were charged upon by strikers
and upsch The only wagons that
got through were those moved after
the arrival of strong police reinforce
ments. Train service is in a chaotic
state.
