THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, MOXDAT, JULY 11, 1910. 3 MONOPLANES BEST; TRIUMPH IS GREAT Many Prizes Taken by French Aviators in International Meet at Rheims. NEW RECORDS SMASHED Magnificent Trip of 3 98 Kilometers (244.44 Miles) Covered In 5 Hours, 3 Minutes and 5 Seconds. BETHANY PLAIN. RHEIMS, France, July 10. The international meeting, at which new records for height, dis tance, speed and time were set, closed today. The meeting was a' triumph for monoplanes, which made all the records and carried oft the majority of the prizes. The experts declare that the most important achievement was the record made by Leon Morane, who yesterday attained a speed of 106 kilometres (65.93 miles) an hour. They believe that this will be followed soon by a speed of 160 to 200 kilometres. Wind Has Little Effect. At such a. speed, aeroplanes would be little affected by the wind. The move ment is in sight, they think, when travel by areoplane will be as safe and twice as fast as by train. The distance and duration records es tablished by M. Labouchere yesterday, 340 kilometres (211.14 miles) in four hours 7 minutes and 45 seconds were broken today by Olieslagers, who made a magnificent flight of 393 kilometres (244.44 milesH in five hours three minutes Ave seconds!. On landif.g. Olieslagers was handed a j telegram of congratulation from the : King of the Belgians. Morane, i who covered five kilometres (3.10 mlleii) yesterday in 2 minutes 56 seconds, land ten kilometres in five minutes 47 seconds, succeeded in bet tering tkiese records today, covering the five kilometres in 2 minutes 53 seconds, and thej ten in 5 minutes 42 seconds. fpeed Prize Taken, Too. He a$so carried oft the speed prize for 20 .'kilometres (12.44 miles) in 12 minutest 45 seconds. The 1'cross-country prize, over a 22 kilomeare course, was won by Leblanc In a monoplane. The officers' prize for , a flifcht of 50 kilometres went to Lieu tenant Camerman. He, in company with Lieutenant Fiequant, at the close ot? the meeting left on a machine for lie camp, where he is stationed. The onlv American competitor. Wey- mann. while he did not win a prize. made a gooa snowing. In another flight late this evening Mo rane further reduced the time for five kilometres, covering the distance in two minutes 48 seconds, a speed of more then 110 kilometres (68.42 miles) an hour. BELGIAN AVIATOR TAKES DROP Aeroplane Falls Like Rock; Slanlp ulator Seriously Hurt. GHENT, July 10. Daniel Klnel, the Belgian aviator, was seriously hurt to day while making a flight. The rudder of his machine broke when he was at a considerable height and the aeroplane turned over several times, dropping like a stone in a wheat field. Klnel holds the world's record for an aeroplane flisht with a passenger, which he made at Mourmelon, on May 15, when he remained in the air for two hours and 51 minutes. LOEB AND TAFT TO TALK continued From First Page.) are acting as independent Americana, each along his own lines, but to the same end." Asked if he thought Colonel Roose velt would come out with an indorse ment of the Taft Administration, Mr. Loeb took the position that the Presl- dent's administration needed no in dorsement from Colonel Roosevelt or anyone else. Party Is Helped. As already stated, a number of times in Beverly, the President feels that he helped his party make a record during the recent session of Congress a record upon which it can well afford to stand in the coming campaign. The question of individual indorse ment had not suggested Itself to Mr. Taft in any way. Mr. Loeb was asked as to recent events at Oyster Bay, and the seeming preponderance of "insurgents" among the Colonel's visitors. "Colonel Roosevelt sees everybody," he said. "The so-called insurgents are friends of his and, naturally, they want to see him. Some of them want him to help them in their campaigns." Roosevelt Would Be Fair. Mr. Loeb left the impression that Colonel Roosevelt might not go so deeply into the coming campaign as has been generally reported. The Colonel is reported as being anxious to avoid anything that looks like unfair ness in his attitude. This fact is said to explain his consent to Senator Bev eridge's request, for a speech in the Senator's campaign for election in In diana. Colonel Roosevelt already had prom ised to speak for Senator Lodge here in Massachusetts. It was put up to him by friends of Senator Beverldge, it is said here, that this would indi cate that he favored the so-called "con servative" wing of the party and would leave a lot of hia old friends out in the cold. Some of the reports current In Beverly tonight connect Mr. Loeb's visit with the Governorship situation in New York.. The Collector of the Port has frequently been mentioned for the Republican nomination. Collector Going West. Mr. Loeb, when questioned, declined to take the matter seriously. He said he already had made his plans for a month's vacation, to be spent in the Rocky Mountains hunting and fishing. This vacation will be taken about the time the state conventions meet in New York, so, if the Republican nom ination seeks Mr. Loeb, it will have to cross the Great Divide to catch up with him. Mr. Loeb insisted that his talk with the President would have to do with general politics, not so much with New York State. Mr. Loeb expressed the belief that the Republicans In New York would get together election day and would be suc cessful, "as usual." Secretary Norton was with Mr. Loeb until late . tonight. He was anxious, he said, to get in touch with the political situation, as seen by Mr. Loeb. So far as the possibility of Mr. Loeb's candidacy for the Governorship Is con cerned, it was 6tated here tonight that it was not necessary for him to come to Mr. Taft for an indorsement, for it had been known all along that Mr. Taft has looked with favor upon the reports that Mr. Loeb might be trite successor to Gov ernor Hughes. Mr. Taft Is anxious that the candidate In New York shall be a man upon whom all Republicans can unite and who will have the unqualified support of Governor Hughes. He has told several of his vis itors, it Is said, that Mr. Loeb seemed to fill the bill. Oddly enough, Mr. Loeb's visit to Bev erly is coincident with the arrival here of an Interesting story in connection with Colonel Roosevelt's consent to make a single speech in Indiana on behalf of Sen ator Beverldge. Beverldge Is Concerned. The story goes that Senator Beverldge and Mr. Loeb- met by chance on a. train. It had been announced that Colonel Roosevelt would speak for Senator Lodge In Massachusetts. Senator Beverldge was concerned at this. He declared that it would be taken as an indorsement by Roosevelt of "the reactionaries," for he declared "people always spoke of Hale and Lodge in the same breath." Senator Beveridge declared that If the Colonel would also speak for him, it would indi cate that he was standing by his real friends. The Senator from Indiana declared that he stood by President Roosevelt through thick and thin; that he had been summoned to the White House on many occasions during the Roosevelt "MILLION-DOLLAR WIDOW" AWAKENS TO FIND RICH HUS BAND FLOWN TO PARTS UNKNOWN, BUT DOESN'T CARE. :i.Ss;:?:;;i?'"- Y ' .

As evidence of the renewed activity at Beverly, it is said tonight that President Taft may see three members of his Cabinet this week. Attorney-General . Wickersham and Secretary Nagel, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, are at the lat ter's home In Marion, Mass. Both theao Cabinet members are to start for Alaska the latter part of the month, and it is expected that they will come here to bid good-bye to the President.

GROWERS HOLD WOOL PRICES RANGING FROM 14 TO " 1 7 CENTS NOW RCXiE. Owners of Crop In' Wallowa County Demanding 20 Cents Opinions as to intimate Price Vary. WALLOWA. Or., July 10. (Special.) Two-thirds of the wool clip of Wallowa County is in the hands of the growers to day. It amounts. to over 1,000,000 pounds of the finest wool in the United States. Half that amount has been sold already at prices ranging from 14 cents to 17 cents. Another wool sale will be' held Tuesday but unless much better prices are bid, only a small percentage of the wool now in the warehouses will change hands. Most of the growers who sold are those who know that their wool is of an in ferior grade and considered it policy to sell at the first opportunity, but the list also includes some of the best wool in this county, grown by experienced wool men who have carefully studied the mar ket and believe that wool has reached its highest figure for the year. Others who have studied the market just as carefully and whose experience and reputation for successful dealings are Just as great, maintain that the market conditions point to a much higher price; that the supply of good wool is smaller than in former years, while the demand is greater; and that the first bids being so low is an attempt on the part of the wool buyers to scare the growers Into a lower figure. Those who keep to this latter view will hold their wool for a figure around 20 cents per pound and if such a figure is not bid at Tuesday's sale, will consign their wool to commis sion merchants in the great wool manu facturing centers where it will be held until the demand brings the price up to that figure or the market conditions convince them that a lower figure must be accepted. In the warehouse at this place is near 75.000 pounds of wool yet waiting for a buyer. --Enterprise has the bulk of the wool this year and while sales have been the greatest there, fully 600,000 pounds remains for sale in that warehouse, while at Joseph the amount of unsold wool Is fully 400,000 pounds.

DASHING WIDOW" LOSES HUSBAND Rich Philip Van Valkenburgh Stirs Gotham's "400" by Leaving Wife. HE COURTED ABOARD SHIP "Mlllion-IXrtlar Widow," Attraction for For tune-Hunters, Awakens to Find Wealthy Third "Hubby" Missing, but Doesn't Care. NEW YORK, July 10. (Special.) Again the "million dollar widow," as VAIKEXBIRCH. she is familiarly known in Gotham's high society, is without a husband. This statement is interesting to many more than two, but Mrs. Philip Van Valkenburgh is the most con cerned of everyone, for it is the first time she has been minus a husband, who didn't die. Mr. Van Valkenburgh, clubman, rich and one of the heaviest rear estate holders in this city, has flown. He left the St. Regis Hotel a day or so ago, without telling his wife where she or anyone else might find him. He also left a notice "to all concerned" that he would not be responsible for the bills which his wife might con tract. Former Husband Rich, Too. After six months of married life "the million dollar widow" Is today almost as good as not married, except insofar as the legal entanglements still bind her to a man several years her senior, who wedded her soon after her former aged husband, the late William Hayes Chapman, died, leaving her a large fortune. Air. and Mrs. Van Valkenburgh have never been able to get along happily since the day they were wedded - at Greenwich, -Conn., in December last. in fact it is common knowledge around the St. Regis, where Mrs. Van Valken burgh was seen yesterday, that the dashing "widow" has not spoken to her missing husband since April. Van Valkenburgh left the St. Regis, bag and baggage, without telling any one where he was going. So far as could be learned yesterday this rich New Yorker, who fell in love with the "dashing widow" on board ship from Europe last December and pressed his suit victoriously against such rivals as a Russian General and a French Count, has decided that married life is not what it seems. His wife has lived across the hall from him ever since they were married, here at the St. Regis, but seldom has the wealthy real estate broker seen his wife, par ticularly of late. Wife Didn't Miss "Hubby" for Day. It is believed Van Valkenburgh made his escape from his wife on Wednes day, but she knew nothing of it till a day later. When seen yesterday, Mrs. Van Valkenburgh, who never has wanted for admirers, particularly since her rich late husband died, hesitatingly admitted that she knew not the where abouts of her husband, but that she hoped to see him before she started for Europe August 1. "I am sorry to have a story like this get out," said Mrs. Van Valkenburgh, "because, it is sp humiliating after we have only been married six months. I am Just as fond of Mr. Van Valken burgh now as I ever was and I wish he would stay around. "He would be perfectly welcome, and we would get along all right, but ever since I charged some things on his bill he has avoided me. We haven't got along well together, even from the first. He Did "Little Things," Says Wife. "Not that we have quarreled, but he did little things that I didn't like and I suppose I showed that I didn't like them. In the- first place, he is much older than I. When I came over on the Mauretanla last December he was a fellow-passenger. He didn't pay much attention to me on the trip com ing over, but after we landed he be came most ardent. "The Count de Sonies then came over and that started Mr. Van Valkenburgh going worse than ever. He fairly swept me off my feet. There was Gen eral Spirldovltch, in Europe, waiting for my answer, and Sonies and Van pestering me here. Finally I asked my attorney here what I should do, and he inclined to favor my present husband, telling me that the American would make the best husband, et cetera. When I told Sonies of my decision he fairly became hysterical, fell on his knees, threw his arms about my knees and pleaded for a chance to press his suit a little longer. He was so per-j sistent that I decided to accept Mr. Van at once, and we hurried over to Greenwich the next day and were mar ried. That's all there is to it. I ex pect to leave for Europe August 1, whether Mr. Van Valkenburgh shows up or not- I would Just as soon has him go along with me if he could arrange his business affairs, but if he doesn't want to, why well, he doesn't have to, that's all. I am old enough to take care of myself and I guess I can pay my own bills for a time." As Mrs. William Hayes Chapman, "the million dollar widow," Mrs. Van Valken burgh made an international reputation for several things, especially clothes, vivacity, a weakness for having her picture taken and an attraction for fortune hunters, with or without ti tles. Little is known of her girlhood, though It is said she Is one of six sis ters born in the West, and she says that in all the advertising she has re ceived she has been able to keep her family in the background. Her first husband was Lee Agnew, an inventor, who now lives at the Hotel Gotham, directly across Fifth avenue from the St. Regis. She di vorced him and married the aged Wil liam Chapman, a retired dry goods merchant, who left her a fortune esti mated at $10,000,000.

MARKET IS ENCOURAGED FEELING IS THAT DEPRESSIVE MOVEMENT IS ENDED.. Early Break In Prices Attributed to Death of Justice Fuller. Speculation Stimulated. NEW YORK, July 10. Financial mar kets last week continued to reflect the apprehension felt over the general busi ness outlook, but further drastic purg ing to which stock speculation was sub jected left the market In a condition to bring into question its further .move ments. The evidence of influential buying at low price levels hastened speculative sentiment and built up a good deal of hopefulness. The break in prices at the opening of the week was attributed di rectly to the death of Chief Justice Ful ler and to a feeling of dissatisfaction with advices of the banking situation in the interior. Coupled with the feeling that the forces of depression had run their course in the stock market were several factors of more positive nature In the direction of amelioration. The withdrawal of con sumers from the .pie iron market, while regarded as presaging further curtail ment or production, was due to a refusal of further price concessions by producers. In this was seen a promise that recuper ation was at hand. There was a subsidence of the anxiety felt over the question of -Government regulation of railroad rates. LUMBER DEMAND SHRINKS Night Shifts at Two Mills Taken Off Because of Poor Crops. SPOKANE. Wash., July 10. (Spe cial.) The first effects of the poor crop prospects throughout the Middle and Eastern States is felt at Palouse, the Potlatch Lumber Company last night taking off the night shift at Potlatch and at Palouse. The Palouse mill em ployed about 50 men on the night shift and the Potlatch mill more than 100. The demand for lumber in the North west is said to be good, but orders from the East have fallen off. The day shift will be kept on at both mills, and it is thought that night work will be resumed after harvest. Many of the men will get Jobs in the har vest fields.

CRITICS ARE INTERESTED Difficulty of Counterfeiting Style of Well-Known Dillctante Recog nized Resignation Is Re quested, but Refused. NEW YORK. July 10. (Special.) Pro fessor Harry Thurston Peck's breach of promise suit has brought him again into the public, eye. The professor has had something of a matrimonial career. He was divorced from his first wife, whom he married in 18S2, and soon after the divorce he married again. It seems, however, that there was a woman dls- Iro feasor Harry Thnraton Peck, Whose Breach of Promise Salt Promises to Develop Into a Lit erary Sensation. appointed when the second wedding oc curred, and the suit is the result. The fair plaintiff is a stenographer who formerly had done some work for Professor Peck when he was literary ed itor of the New York Commercial Adver tiser. Professor Peck is charged with having told his love in letters, as a man of letters naturally would. Inasmuch as Professor Peck by long practice and en deavor has acquired a strong literary "style," and inasmuch as the stenog rapher cannot be presumed to know as much about English as the professor, his assertion that the missives are forgeries are of especial Interest to critics. Internal evidence of the genuiness of the writings is expected to play an im portant part in the trial. If the cleft in finitive or the sentence ending with a preposition le found, it is expected that the attorneys for the professor will as sert that they have a prima facie case, and ask a nonsuit. Professor Peck will resent with fervor tha imputation of lit erary blacksmithery. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia, has asked Professor Peck to resign and Professor Peck has re fused to resign without charges and has given out public statements asserting a state of revolution against the present head of Columbia among the professors employed there.
