The second lasted half an hour, and 29 hi cir cuits were made. The machine behaved splendidly. In the 56 minutes it covered approximately SI miles. Wilbur Wright declared it had attained a speed of 41 miles an hour. rtri reached a. heieht of 150 feet. He said the machine worked very smoothly, ln rurftrt condition for official flights.

STRIKERS ABANDON ACTS OF VIOLENCE but he WILL TRY FLIGHT AGAIN Motor Slows Down When Distance Half Covered and Latham Gently Descends Picked Cp by French Destroyer, Uninjured, CALAIS. July 19. Although Herbert Iatham failed to fly across the channJ on hia monoplane, his life was at no time in danger and his machine was but slightly damaged. He will repeat the attempt. Mr. Latham got away splendid ly under perfect conditions from the top of ths chalk cliff at Sangatte and had covered half the distance at an average height of 500 feet when the motor slowed down and he was obliged to descend. The air space of the wlnss. however, kept the machine afloat, and the mono plane, lying like a wounded bird, was stretched out on the water when the French torpedo-boat destroyer Harpon, which had kept abreast throughout the Journey, came alongside and picked up the aviator. M. Latham was not wet and still sat in the saddle, which Is located above the wings and behind the motor, calmly smoking a cigarette. He immedi ately announced that he was not discour aged by the failure and would try again as soon as the machine was repaired. Machine Slightly Damaged. The injuries to the monoplane were slight, the principal damage being caused when It wss hauled aboard the torpedo boat destroyer. The motor Is Intact. The wat.-hers on both shores had an anxious half hour after the machine was lost, to view behind a thin veil of fog on the French side, and apprehension was not allayed until the semaphore at Calais reported that the Harpon was returning with Latham uninjured aboard. After landing, the aeronaut was given a frantia reception. Hugged and Kissed at Calais. It was with difficulty that he made his way through the throngs and he was compelled to kiss several girls, who threw their arms around his neck. The failure of the motor is attributed to a bad carburetter on the monoplane which, when 4u0 feet In the air. began to descend. When the machine was 200 tret above the water. M. Latham shut off The power and tha machine glided down gpr.tly. alighting on the vaves with hardly a splash. Latham Will Tr Again. In a brief interview. M. Latham said: "! cannot say exactly what stopped the motor. I tried to get the engine work ing again, but could not, and was obliged to fly gradually down to the sea. I be lieve that previous to the mishap I main tained an even flight of 400 feet above the wster. It was unfortunate that the motor stopped, as everything else was favorable and I was going well at the time. Never mind. I will have another Anternette monoplane from Challona, with which another attempt will be made to cross the channel within a week or tea days." - M. Latham left Calais for Paris this afternoon. Cheered as He Makes Start. While the monoplawe was being taken out and pushed to the top of a cliff, a crowd of several thousand per sons assembled to witness the start and the entire population of the neighbor ing villages lined the shore below. Latham was in high spirits as he care fully Inspected every part of the ma chine, and on making several trials with the eight-cylinder motor found the machine perfect There was a wait of, an hour until the torpedoboats and tugs, strung; out In a line towards the horizon, took up their positions. Finally all was in readiness and the monoplane was push ed back 200 yards from the crest of the cliff, which has a precipitous fall of 200 feet to the sea. Latham was clad In a knickerbocker suit and had donned a life preserver. He showed no signs of nervousness as he shook hands with his friends on mounting the sad dle. "Start the motor," he cried to his as sistants, and then with a nod of his head and the words, "see you in Dover," threw the starting lever off. the ma chine running along the ground with Increased momentum at every turn. Just before reaching the edge of the cliff, the aeronaut touched the hori zontal lever and the machine, with its white outstretched wings, rose grace fully and sailed out over the shining waters amid a roar of cheers from the cliff and shores. Files 300 Feet Above Channel. The monoplane after leaving the cliff, ascended gradually until It probably was 300 feet above the sea. Then, straight as an arrow. It continued Its flight toward the English coast, ap parently under perfect control, at a rate of about 35 miles an hour.

No Danger of Veto. It was persistently reported today that the President would not be satis fled with free iron and oil and re duced duties on coal, hides and lumber. No one suggested the possibility of a veto In the conflicting views of the President's position exchanged at the Capitol today. Among the older Con gressmen it was predicted that the President would demand every conces sion possible to obtain without endan gering the adoption of the conference Tax Adopted. Today the conferees devoted their at tention mainly to the revised corpora tion tax provision, which was adopted. An effort was made today to dispose of the wood pulp and print paper schedule. The retaliatory provision con cerning pulp wood was rewritten, and it Is now believed that It will prove sat isfactory to American mills. The print paper schedule is still In controversy.

Now, with labor employed in this country at full time and higher wages than ever before, and with the tariff on woolens not changed an lota, we get a circular saying thaf "owing to an Increase in the tariff the price of these clothes will have to be advanced 25 per cent." The Speaker Intimated that, trading on the lack of exact information on the part of the public, certain dealers and manufacturers were going to raise prices regardless of anything Congress could do. The fact that there has been a long and Involved discussion of the tariff ami much general talk about "in creases all aiong the line," he suggest ed, "will give the opportunity to put up the prices to "the ultimate con sumer."
