Set ting a course for Reno, the peaks of he Sierra range will be ahead, the first great barrier of the whole voyage. Great Barrier In Way. The four hours between 1 and 5 'o'clock should be most thrilling fea (tare of the whole flight. If he reaches Keno safely he will have gained an idmmortal name as the first man over (the snow-capped mountains that oar kce way to earth creatures toiling slow tly toward the rising sun. He will have 5eaten Chavew the Frenchman, wno grossed the Alps only to die before he hcnew the world had heard of his ex ploit, and Fowler will hold for himself find Pan Francisco the record of the igreatest feat of man In air since men Sfcegan to flj. . , . ; Rodgers also will have a Wright biplane. James J. Ward expects (to start from either Boston or iNew York next Wednesday, and will set his course for either Los Angeles or iian Francisco, the destination to be chosen later. Ward Is a youthful Chl-k-agoan. He will use a Curtlss biplane, having abandoned hla original inton ation of flying In a Wright-Burgess. If h decides on New York as his start ing point he will follow the Hudson Silver north to Albany and then strike . west, reversing the routs of Harry N. Atwood as far as Chicago. Ward, who ,1s only 22 and 'will be the youngest blrdman In the face, first became prom inent In New Orleans. He made a series of sensational flights In the ' course of a tour of Cuba. I lie record -f 11S miles, made within ten days In " the vicinity of Chicago. Is believed to be the record for mileage made within that length of time. Desert Stretches Hardest. Ward's manager said today that the young aviator considered the trip be tween the Atlantio Coast and Chicago as nothing. From Chicago southwest the trip may be a little more difficult. He continued: -But the hardest pert of tb trrp will be when he leaves Fort Worth or El Paso. From here on the route Ik over the Texas plains ana enters inr desolate country of New Mexico ar.i! Arizona. The deserts of the South-wept have very few settlements. We figure that on one stretch of the country we will have little or no communication with the usual centers of population tor over 800 miles. "On this stretch we will carry a great supply of water, as well as oil and gasoline. Indeed, we will be forced to carry everything that we need be cause there Is no place where It can be obtained. I expect that the best flying weather in this region will be early In the mornlnf and late In the afternoon. During the middle of the day the heat Is Intense and frequently the wind stirs up a great storm of alkali dust. Sight FlfgUta Probable. "In order to overcome any handicaps we may have in the way of being un able to fly during the day, Jimmy has planned to moke long flights at night. The monllght out there, you know, is almost as bright as the glare of the Great White Way. I should not be surprised If Jimmy shows them some flights that will terminate at midnight. If not later. "We expect to get to Los Angeles in 28 days. In fact we will have to do that In order to be Inside the money. This will make It necessary for Ward to. cover from 200 to 300 miles an aver age dally. I am perfectly willing to bet that this little aviator will fly as - high as (00 mil on days that are right" The other two contestants will be Phil O. Parmelee and Earl 1 Ovlngton. Paxmelee will start from Los Angeles next Friday, If possible. In a Wright bi plane. Ovlngton, the last to get away, will leave the same city In a 70 -horsepower Bllerot monoplane on September 18. Ovlngton says that he will have an advantage In using the monoplane type. Monoplanes, for the sake of safety, al most Invariably fly much higher than biplanes. When a biplane aklma over the earth at an altitude of BOO feet the single-deck craft files at a height of 1600 feet. Its normal flying level Is even highest Within BOO feet from the earth, a monoplane drops to earth much more swiftly than the biplane when anything occurs to disturb its balance. The higher an aircraft Is the more chance It has for recovery if jt is thrown out of equilibrium. 'While a biplane can make Its rooovsry within tOO feet from the earth, a monoplane would probably crash sldewlse to the ground before the pilot eould bring into play hla balancing devloes. But this very dunarar will Impose a necessity on Ovlngton that will give him an advantage In natural speed, -i Every time an aeroplane rises 100 feet hlghar into the air it finds a percepti ble Incresse in the speed of the wind. Ovlngton and Parmelee will follow the same route. GIRL HELD AS LYNCHER Judge Declares Kite Incited Acs and Is a Guilty In.

STAR IN FLAG ILLEGALLY Issue Raised In Water Rlght1iltla tion Filings Made Since Dote of Supposed Admission Declared Void. riTITVVFrl RftTit. 10. (Special.) That rninron wa never admitted to the Union in the manner provided for by the constitution and is tnereiore uu. entitled to the rights, privileges and powers of statehood, is charged by the Department of Justice in a suit una in the state district court by United States District Attorney "Ward. The Government's startling allegation Is m.a in n. nult between the people of the eastern and the western slopes of Colorado, wherein those of the western slope have asked the courts to pre vent diversion of water flowing west ward from the summit or tne conti nental divide, by means of tunnels, for irrigation of lands on the eastern slope. . w... . The Government, tnrougn u ieu a..... An-n.v warfl. has Intervened in- the suit, laying claim to extensive rights to power sites along the streams involved and full control of all waters not filed upon before the admission of Colorado,-Mr. Ward asserting that, as Colorado Is still a territory under the .nn.(ttitlnn nil WAtAr filinfiTS. Since 1876, the year of admission, are void. Contention Startles Lawyers. , Vr. w.. la ..crardAfl ri one of the ablest attorneys In Colorado and his In tervention suit in behalf of the Gov ommont o ri n c.l n a- this constitutional point, comes like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky to tne legal proieisioa uu the State Department. Whether water may oe aivertea irara . i . i n , V. . wMf.rn Iar In nlorfi.do to the I eastern slope in that state tor irriga tion purposes is a question involving many new legal points, and the out come of a suit now pending at Sulphur Cprlngs, CoU will be awaited with unusual interest because tne aecision will affect many irrigation enterprises and the reclamation of millions of acres of land. - This suit was filed in the district .mi- . Siilnhni. anrfno-R hv MfROnj .lalmlni, nrln.ltfr ! Cr h t Ml thA Wfl t PT of the Grand River, against the Inter- mountaln Water uompany. An open ditch now carries water over a low portion of the Continental divide from the Grand River, on the western slope, to a strip of land above Fort Collins, on the eastern side of the Rockies. The attorneys for the people of the western slope contend that the water cannot be taken' from tfie watershed that was located by nature, .and the United States Government has elected to Join In the fight and protect its in terests In the projected high line canal; near Palisade, the famous peach-growing section of the western slope, as well as those of the individual litigants in the suit mentioned. Constitution Never Approved. In outlining the position he will take. Mr. Ward advances the contention that the constitution of the Centennial state has never been, accepted by the Con gress of the United States. In discussing this feature, he says that the Colorado enabling act was passed In 1874, and that the state adopt ed a constitution supposed to De in con formity with the enabling act. A cer tified copy was sent in 1876 to Presi dent Grant, who acknowledged its re ceipt and there, Mr. Ward holds, the matter ended. He holds that Colorado's constitution was never adopted by Con gress and that another star was added to the Flag simply because of the action of President Grant in proclaiming that he had received the copy of the con stitution. It is said that the Federal prosecutor has raised a question that cannot fall to have a wide bearing in the reclamation fight and possibly in many other matters. . Mr. Ward maintains that even If Con gress had ratified the state constitution. the Government owns all the unappro priated water flowing through Govern ment land that has not been appropri ated and converted to beneficial use. Upon this final decision rests the fate of many large and small Irrigation en terprises, and if the actual transfer of water from the western slope Is at tempted the Federal attorney will ask for an injunction. BOY FRIGHTENS BURGLAR Toy Pistol and "Hands Tip' Valuables fo Family, Save NBW YORK. Sept. 10. (HpeclalO There was no policeman around when William Eessler, 13 years old, walked into his parents' noma and found a robber getting away with the family valuables, so ''Willie" acted as his own policeman, and. pulling a toy pistol out of his pocket, pointed it at the intruder and scared him so that he fled from the house, leaving his loot behind him. William's mother, Mrs. John Kessler, had stepped out of her house a minute before, leaving the rear door open. When the boy came in. fresh from "playing cowboy," he found a stranger In the dining-room who was tying up a bundle of cut glass and silver be longing to the family. The boy pointed the toy pistol to wards the Intruder and cried. "Hands up." The man evidently thought the pistol was a real revolver and fled from the house. The boy later described the burglar at the station as being a man about 40 years old and a Junk peddler, as he carried scales in his coat pocket.
