(Continued From Flrgt Page.) ground to the west, made a short flight up the course, returned and alighted at the starting point. The distance, esti mated by the Judges at five-eighths of a mile, was covered In 28.03 seconds. The greatest height reached was 60 feet. The machine was under perfect control and the great American aviator was ac corded a thunder of cheers for his feat. AVillard Makes Second Flight. Next Charles F. Wlllard appeared upon the course in his Curtiss aeroplane No. 1. and after a short preliminary flight, attempted to circle the official course, which 13 a trifle more than a mile and a half in length. Rising to a height of 70 feet, he maintained this altitude until half the distance had been traversed, when his motor gave out and the aero plane descended. He was In the air 1 minute and 23 seconds, the longest flight ever made by a heavier-than-air machine on the Paciric Coast up to that time. After a readjustment of the motor, Wll lard arose again and completed the course. Curtiss, using the machine with which he had made the previous flight, then circled the field, an estimated distance of 1 1 miles, in 1:61. His maximum altitude was 200 feet, the highest flight on this Coast, up to that time. Staid Dirigibles Appear. Lincoln Beachey and Roy Knabenshue appeared upon the course with their dirigible balloons, sailing directly over the grandstand af a height of 200 feet against a stiff breeze, and return ing at a high speed with the wind at their backs. The dirigibles frail-looking cigar-shaped affairs were under the complete mastery of the two pilots, who directed their course as they wished and descended to earth without the semblance of a jar. Before this time the crowd had be gun to inquire for Paulhan. All was quiet at the quarters of the French aviator. Whatever work was being done in preparation for his flight was "behind closed doors." and it seemed probable that the throng at the camp would be disappointed In its expecta tion of seeing the holder of the mile speed record. "That Frenchman" Pleases Himself. "We can't do anything with that Frenchman," said Dick Ferris, master of ceremonies. "He pays no attention to rules and regulations, nor to the ourse laid out for the flights. I wouldn't be surprised to see him ap pear suddenly in his machine through the top of his tent." That was almost what Paulhan did. While the spectators were watching the flight of the dirigibles, a Farman biplane was taken quietly from the Paulhan tent down into a gully hidden from the view of those at the starting stretch. Just when Knabenshue and Beachey were passing over the grand stand on their return, and every neck wus craned backward, there was a sudden shout, and out of the gully came I.ouis Paulhan, the motor of his Far man humming at a tremendous rate. He swung around the course and came down before the grandstand at high tpced. He gesticulated first with hla rlKht hand and then his left, and at times he let go the steering wheel nd waved both arms arid shouted to the , multitude. , Brushes Top of Grandstand. Circling the full course once, Paulhan then began a second round, but stopped at the half-way pole to cut across the field straight for the grandstand. Sud denly veering, he described another circle, finally disappearing from view to tha north behind the grandstand. He soon again headed directly for the stand, which he cleared from behind, passing only a few feet above the topmost row or seats and shouting greetings to the frightened crowd beneath. Passing out onto the field, the machine descended In front of the Paulhan quarters. Paulhan had remained in the ail; 8 minutes and sailed 3:,i miles. His highest altitude was 160 feet. While the dirigibles were preparing for their second flight, the irrepres sible Frenchman decided to start upon another journey. Covering the full course In 2:07 i-a, he started around again and noared the starting point just as Knabenshues balloon had caught the wind at the head of the stretch and was coming along at high speed. Panlham's aeroplane shot up ward and soon was abreast and di rectly over the dirigible. The two craft raced with the wind at their backs, that of the Frenchman soon dis tancing the big bags. Officials Forced to Scatter. Continuing his flight at high speed, Taulhan gave a thrilling exhibition of his control of the biplane. He darted this way and that, ascended suddenly and shot downward until it seemed that he must surely wreck his aeroplane against the earth. Where groups of men had gathered on the Held he scat tered them with sudden dips of the machine. Once he headed directly for the grandstand, waiting until almost upon It before pointing the bow of his craft upward and skimming Just above the heads of the crowd. Throughout it all he gesticulated with his hands and shouted in a language understood hy his countrymen alone. Paulhan loves the air and seemingly is carried away by the exhilaration of his daring performances. On his second flight he remained up 10 minutes 2 seconds, reaching a height of 400 feet and traveling about 4 mil.s. In descending he just cleared the top of his own tent from the rear, alighting a short distance, from the entrance. Perfect Control Shown. in his. third flight. Paulhan arose di rectly in front of the grandstand, passed over it and turned back to the official course, where he rose to a height of R0O feet. Covering the mile and a half in 2:58 he took another shoot into the country, came back, went around the course a second time, and had started on his third lap just as Heachpy. in his dirigible, and Charles K. Hamilton, in a Curtiss monoplane, had made an ascent and got under full headway? BLERIOT MONOPLANE, WHICH WILL I'" I, V THIS WEEK. PENALTY IS BITTER Convicted Sugar-Weighers Get One-Year Sentence. ' CHANCE OF MERCY WASTED Judge Tells Prisoners He Might Have Shown leniency If They . Had Confessed He Believes , Higher-Fps Inspired Acts. NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Four former em ployes of the American Sugar Refining Company, convicted of under-weighing frauds, were sentenced to one year's1 Im prisonment each by Judge Martin in the United States Circuit Court here today. The men sentenced are Charles Kehoe, Edward A. Boyle, Patrick J. Hennessey and John M. Coyle. The four were checkers on the docks of the sugar company in Williamsburg, where it was discovered that the scales used to weigh sugar imports had been tampered with. As a result the American Sugar Refining Company reimbursed the Government to the extent of more than $2,000,000 for evaded duties, and employes of the company were indicted for- con spiracy. The Jury convicted Oliver Spitzer, the dock superintendent and the four men sentenced today. There was a disagree ment over the case of James G. Bender nagel, the cashier of the refinery, one of the defendants1. Spitzer collapsed in court on Saturday, when a motion for a new trial for the men was argued, and it was found that he would have to undergo a slight opera tion for an internal disorder. For this reason. Judge Martin today did not pro nounce sentence upon him, but remanded him until February 1. In sentencing the checkers. Judge Martin intimated that he might have shown greater leniency if the men had appealed to the court "for mercy and in a spirit of penitence." "However," said the court, "such is not their position. They ohallenged the verdict; they deny their g-uilt. They take the position that what they did was done voluntarily, without orders from higher officers not that I be lieve that is the fact, but that is their position before the court." Judge Martin denied a motion for a stay of execution. REIJLiIjY PLEADS XOT GTjIITY Accused Letter-Thief Handcuffed to Italian Counterfeiter. NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Thomas P. Reilly, special investigator of the In terstate Commerce Commission, plead ed not guilty today to a charge of hav ing taken and published without au thority a letter written by Attorney General Wickersham bearing on the American Sugar Refining Company prosecution. Reilly, who had spent Sunday in the Tombs, following his arrest on Satur day, was brought in handcuffed to an Italian counterfeiter. United States Circuit Judge Hough fixed bail at $2000. BAY GITY TO SEE FIGHT GLE.VSOX MAKES APPLICATION TO, SUPERVISORS. Gleason Gives Positive Assurance Sa FraJilcsco or Some Suburb Will Get Big Mill. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. lo: Positive assurance was given by Jack Gleason tonight that the Jeffries-Johnson cham pionship fight would be held in San Francisco or the immediate vicinity. This statement followed the formal, ap plication Gleason made today before the new board of Supervisors for a permit to conduct a 45-round ring contest in San Francisco some time this year. The local law at present recognizes only 20-round fights, and this is the first time in years that a permit for a fight of a greater number of rounds has been requested. Gleason's application has been referred to the police committee of the board. Gleason stated that the big fight would not be held In Salt Lake City or Nevada. He said that as soon as any action was taken upon his request for a permit here, he would notify Tex Rickard, his part ner in the enterprise, and that plans would then be drawn for the arena and arrangements completed for handling the contest. , "The fight will be held in San Fran cisco or in one of its suburbs," said Gleason. "I do not know what action the Supervisors will take on my propo sition to them, but whatever it is. the fight will come off here." Calhoun Trial Postponed. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 10. The first official act of the new District Attor ney, Charles M. Fickert, was to make a motion today before Judge Lawiar that the trial of Patrick Calhoun, charred with bribery, go over until January 31. The motion was granted.

CLERKS MAY GET LEAVE Recommendations Are Made in In terest of Railway Mall Clerks and Increase of Ocean Mail Subsidies Is "Proposed. WASHIGTON, Jan. 10. Transportation of the mails by railways, steamship lines and various star routes cost the Gov ernment during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909, $83,493,762. These are the figures given in the an nual report of Joseph Stewart, second as sistant postmaster, made public today. Recommendations are made that rail ways' postal employes tie given 30 days annual leave and 60 days sick leave; that railway postal clerks be retired by the Government when physiqally incapaci tated, and that a railway postal clerk injured in the line of duty be granted leave, not exceeding 13 additional months with pay at 50 per cent of his regular salary. The number of railroad routes employed by the department was 3316, aggregating 217,115 miles. The total expense of the railway service for the year was J4S.064, 548. For the fiscal year of 1911 It Is esti mated that the expenditures for railroad transportation will be 46,260.000. The result of the readjustment of pay for railroad transportation, effective July 1, 1909, for the ensuing four years, based upon weighing of mails, shows a decrease of $494,360.31, or 5.08 per cent; and for rail way Postoffice car pay a decrease of 3195.97 or .29 per cent. Trolley Rates Extortionate. It has developed that electric street railway companies In some cities demand extortionate rates for carrying the mails. Concerning this situation Mr. Stewart says': "In view of the demand made by many electric car companies for higher rates for service. It is found desirable in some cases to substitute motor-car service. As the appropriation made by Congress for the railway mail ser vice cannot be used for motor-wagon service it is recommended that $100,000 be appropriated for the ilatter service. "The total expense of the foreign mall service for the year was $2,734. 665. The sum payable to the steamship companies for the sea conveyance of letter mail was SO cents a pound to American steamers and four francs a kilogram to foreign steamers. During the year 355.859.283 pieces of mail were sent from the United States to foreign countries and 270,200,320 pieces were received. The amount collected by this country in postage on mails sent abroad was $8,627,095." In a general discussion of the for eign mail situation Mr. Stewart says: Mails Go ITnder Foreign Flags. ."Over 70 per cent of the vessels carrying our mails to the Orient fly foreign flags, and not a single one carrying them to Australia and South America, except to the North coast, flies the American flag. "Our shipping to South America has been placed at a marked disadvantage by the building of fast modern steam ships for service between European countries and Brazil and Argentina, un der the stimulus of Government aid. "The passage of an act to authorize the Postmaster-General to pay for ocean mall service in vessels of the second class on routes to South Amer ica, the Philippines, Japan, China and Australia, 4000 miles or more in length, outward voyage.- at a rate per mile not exceeding the rate applicable to vessels of the first cjass as provided in the act of March 3, J891. will, it is believed, enable the Department to secure con 1910, by George Grantham Bain. tract service to these parts of the world. "It is shown by the report that 'On June 30, 1909, there were 1757 lines of all kinds, manned by 14,646 clerks. The total number of officers and employes was therefore 16,014, an increase during- the year of 749.' "There were 354 railroad accidents during the year, in which postal clerks were either killed or injured or in which mall wa lost or damaged." N. C. 0.
