WASHINGTON. Aug-. 8. C. Murvin Wood, the American aviator who at tempted today a. non-stop race in his monoplane with a train from New York to Washington and thence to Fort Myer, Va., for exhibition flights, reached his destination late this after noon after he had been compelled to interrupt his flight on a farm near Gaithersburg, Md., 16 miles from Wash ington. Wood won his race with the train, making the landing at Gaithersburg at 1 minute after 9 o'clock, 40 minutes before the train rolled into the union station. He failed to break all the American records he had hoped to smash, but savs he made new marks for non-stop flying between two points and for duration. Wood set out to replace all the records established by Lieutenant Thomas CeW. Milling, of the Army aviation corps. His greatest disap pointment, lie declared, was in not having set a new sunrise to sunset record. Milllns DlMtance Exceeded. In all. Wood estimates he flew 287 miles in covering his circuitous route from Hempstead Field, where- the flight started at 4:30 o'clock this morning, to the field at Gaithersburg. where en gine trouble forced, a landing at 9:01 o'clock, 4 hours 31 minutes later. The actual airline distance is estimated at 260 miles, which exceeds by ten miles the distance- record held by Lieutenant Milling. In telling the story of his flight Wood said: "I was lost almost from the minute I started. Getting across New York harbor, I ran into a thick fog and couldn't tell if I was over land or water. To make my discomfort grwater, engine trouble began to develop before I had been in the air 15 minutes. It cleared up soon and I went over the narbor at about 6000 feet, rising over the fog banks, and did not see land sprain until I was over Trenton. Then I had more engine trouble and volplaned down to about 2o00 feet when the en glne picked up again and I went" on toward. Philadelphia. Train Never Sighted. "I volplaned looking for a safe place to make a landing, near Philadelphia, when the engine picked up again and I flew on around Wilmington and over Baltimore, where engine trouble started again and finally finished by the en gine stopping dead when I got over Gaithersburg. "I didn't see the special train once in all the flight and not once did I see railroad tracks that 1 was sure were the Pennsylvania. When I left Baltt more the smoke clouds made me lOBe my way and I was heading for the Potomoc River, calculating that by flying ahead I would cross it and if 1t were narrow I would know I was above Washington: if it were wide I would know I was below. But it was no use, the engine stopped and I came down. SUFFRAGE "UP TO PEOPLE" Premier Asquith. Tells Women He lias Not Changed' Views. LONDON, Augr. 8. Premier Asquith discussed woman suffrage today with Mrs. Millicent Fawcett, president of the National Union of Woman s Suf frage Societies, and her nonmilitant colleagues. They met him in his of ficial residence and urged him to bring in a government measure bestowing the franchise on women. The Premier complimented his vis itors on their constitutional methods, which he said were "a welcome con trast to the criminal proceedings" of the militant suffragettes. He, however, frankly declared that lie "had under rone no change of heart In the mat ter. "The final word on woman suffrage,' said Asquith, 'rests with the people of the United Kingdom. If me women are Able to convince the people that such a change is desirable and beneficent, no combination in the world can pre vent the attainment of their object.' JAPAN WILL BIDE TIME California Land jLaw Contest to Be Made on Specific. Issue. LONDON, Aus. 9. (Special.) Th Times' Tokio correspondent cables tTia .lie learned from an authoritative sourc that Japan does not contemplate mak ing a test as soon as the California land, act becomes operative. Its inten tion is rather to wait for an occasio such as may be provided by probate proceedings in event of the death of a Japanese landowner or the dissolution of a Japanese company in California, when the act can be disputed on the basis of treaty rights solely. There is no intention to appeal to The Hague or to lodge a request a Aash)nston for the granting of natu validation rights to Japanese, although negotiations may negtn for a new agreement with Washington author! ties.

JOHNSTON DIES Senator From Alabama Suc cumbs to Pneumonia. TARIFF MAJORITY REDUCED Democratic Leaders View Situation as Demanding Prompt Action and Press Governor O'Neal to Oail Legislature. WASHINGTON." Aug. S. A vctim of pneumonia, Joseph F. Johnston, United States Senator from Alabama, died in his apartments here shortly before 9 o'clock today. He had not attended the Senate sessions for a week and had been in poor health for some time. His home was at Birmingham. He was 70 years old. Senator Johnstons death leaves a vacancy in the Senate that is somewhat embarrassing to the Democratic ma jority -on the verge of the completion of the Administration tariff reform programme, and makes necessary an immediate interpretation of provisions of the 17th constitutional amendment, requiring direct election of Senators. Working Majority Reduced. The Senator's death reduces the work ing majority in the Senate to five by recent desertions from the ranks, on account of the sugar schedule, the ma jority on the tariff bill is reduced to one and leaves the party in a danger ous position should any other emer gency arise. In view of this the dem ocrats of the Senate insist the vacancy must be filled as soon as possible and to this end the Governor of Alabama and the Legislature of the state will be called on to act under the terms of the constitutional amendment. Governor O'Neal, of Alabama, realiz ing the gravity of the situation, has asked Attorney-General McReynolda for an opinion as to the proper method of selecting Senator Johnston's suc cessor. Attorney-General McReynolds declined tonight to discuss the matter, but it was the unanimous conclusion, after an informal conference of Senate Democrats, that the Alabama Legisla ture must be called in special session before Governor O Neal can do any thing. The Legislature then may an thorize him, under the terms of the seventh amendment, to appoint a sue cessor ad interim, and it also may pro vide the machinery for a special elec tion to choose a new Senator to serve. for the term beginning March 4, 1915 Governor Urged to Hasten. It was agreed by the Administration leaders that Senator Kern, the major ity leader, and Senator Simmons, chair man of the finance committee, would join in a telegram to Governor O'Neal, following Senator Johnston's funeral in Birmingham Sunday, urging him to call a special session of the Alabama Legislature at once and to urge on the Legislature a grant of authority for immediate appointment of a. benator ad interim. Several candidates for the appoint ment, if such a course Is decided on rather than an immediate election. have been suggested here today, among them being Representatives Hobson, Clayton and Underwood. Mr. Under wood recently said, however, that he did not wish to give up the House lead ership for a seat in the Senate. SPECIAL ELECTIOX IX . ORDEit Governor Says Legislature May Be Called, if Expedient. MONTGOMERY. Ala.. Aug. 8. Gov ernor O'Neal, of Alabama, announced late today he would call a special elec tion to fill the vacancy caused by the death in Washington today of United States Senator Johnston. "1 expect to order a special election at once to fill the vacancy in the United States Senate caused by the death of Senator - Johnston, of Ala bama," said the statement "While this is my present intention, conditions at Washington might make it neces sary to call an extra session of the Legislature to- fill the vacancy at once. I am not, however, inclined to think that an extra session would be more expeditious than a special election." . S. B. Stoy Appointed Manager. , Sam B. Stoy, son of Rev.
