ATLANTIC CTTT. X.' J.. July 11. Glenn H.. Curtiss set an American record for a 50-rrJle flight in eh aeroplane this afternoon by covering a. half hundred measured miles In five-mile lafm alon the beach in 1 hour, 14 minutes, 59 sec onds. Curtiss was In the eir 1 hour and 30 minutes and spent 1 hour, 21 minutes, 5 seconds on the course. 6 minutes and 6 seconds being deducted for the turns at the ends of the 24-mlle course. Walter Brookins, who made the world's altitude record, and Frank Coffyn, his rivals, flying the Wright machine, were among those who extended their con gratulations over the splendid flight. In the everly evening Curtiss set a new mark for quick climbing by sweeping his machine 1600 feet in the air In 6 minutes, 61 - seconds. Crosg-Winds Limit Speed. After a watt of hours for a slowing down of the sharp southerly wind from the ocean, Curtiss rose In the air at 3:22 P. M. After a short warming-up spin, rra swung back over the upper mark made by range flags on a boardwalk building at Massachusetts avenue and ' started on his long flight. Because of ; the cross winds that BtiU held strong in the upper air, Curtiss never reached a greater speed than 50 miles an hour, his average for the 50 being about 40 mils. The time of each five-mile lap was as follows: First, 8:19 4-5; second, 6:01 3-5; third, 7:37 1-5; fourth, 7:33 4-5; fifth, 8:334; sixth, 7:39: seventh, 7:27; eighth, 7:29; ninth. 7:21 3-10; tenth, 7:21 1-5. The .course laid out brought Curtiss and his machine in view of the people from the Inlet town to Ventor. Practi cally all of Atlantic City was on the boardwalk or on the beach watching the flight, and Curtiss was repeatedly cheered as he swept over the heads of the crowd, especially in the vicinity of the big piers. Brooklns Gets Altitude Prize. At the end of the flight Curtiss de clared his engine worked perfectly and added his belief that the added weight that he was forced to carry in emer gency apparatus in case of falling into the Bea and the necesssity of running partly Into the wind to keep in the course held him back at least 15 miles an hour. Curtiss" contract ends tonight, leaving Brookins In possession of the $5000 alti tude prize won on Saturday. The Wright aviator has not yet announced whether he will go after the 50-mile prize of $5000, which will otherwise go to Curtiss. Brookins started up immediately after Curtiss landed from hie long flight and described sharp curves and turns, end ing with his first exhibition of a triple turn that almost stood his machine on end. Brookins and Coffyn then went up together, with Brookins driving, getting off well after a false start, caused by a loose running rail. Later in the day Coffyn went up alone, giving a thrilling exhibition of turning and sweeping. Swoop to Breakers Made. During his long flight Brookins made a 1000-foot swoop along the beach, just over the heads of the crowd, ending by driving his machine over the breakers, hardly a foot from the surf. Measurements of Curtiss' quick flight feat were taken from the records of the same barograph used to measure the al titude reached toy Brookins on Saturday. The aviator started close to the ocean and his turns were so sharp and quick that his entire flight was confined to the space between his starting point and the Million Dollar pier. WRMOX'S MACHINE SMASHED Engines Give Out When He At tempts Flight Across Sound. NEW YORK, July 11. Clifford B. Harmon made an attempt this evening to fly in an . aeroplane from Garden City, L. X, across Long Island Sound to the residence of his father-in-law Commodore E. C. Benedict, at Green wich, Conn. Not only did he fail, but his machine fell a distance of 150 feet and was wrecked. Harmon was badly shaken up, but not seriously injured, the branches of a tree having broken the force of his fall. Harmon was off at 5:15 P. M. today, but the weight of pontoons, which he attached to his craft to insure its floating, proved too heavy, and he was forced to alight after going less than a mile. The pontoons were removed and at 6:19 he was away again. But as he disappeared in the distance, it was ap parent that his engine was missing, and when near Roslyn, L. I., less than seven miles from his second starting place, the aeroplane began to descend rapidly in its perilous drop to the tree tops. When the crowd gathered. Harmon was found viewing the wreck of his craft. The engine alone was undam aged. He explained that Just before he dropped only three cylinders of his engine were working, and he decided to come down as best he could. He did not say whether he would try again.

FAIR TREATMENT IS ASKED Madriz Representatives' Say Ameri can Prisoner of War In Nica ragua AVas Taken to Managua Only for Safe Keeping. WASHINGTON, July 11. Several con sultations were held at the State Depart ment on the possible action of the United States in connection with the removal of William Pittman, the American engineer, from Blueflelds Bluff to Managua. Pitt man had been held for several weeks by the Madriz forces as a prisoner of war. Acting Secretary of State AViison has called in his international law advisers to assist him. It is believed that the department will be content with instructing United States Consul Olivares. at Managua, to insist on fair treatment for Pittman, and to watch the procedure, in Managua with a view to guarding against injustice. Care of Prisoners Demanded. Representatives of Madriz here say that the Managua government was under no obligations to keep Pittman at the bluffs. They point out that as early as March this Government was notified that Madriz had ordered his subordinates not to act summarily with Americans captured, but to send them forthwith to Managua. This step was taken, it was explained, to in sure the safekeeping of prisoners. Mall reports received at the depart ment tell of the efforts of Madriz to raise money. Forced contributions. It is said, are being exacted particularly from those suspected of hostility to the Madriz government. Correspondence Given Out. Police or soldiers surround the house of the victim and shut off all means of securing food if the money is not paid. In one instance, it is said, the loan de manded amounted to $10,000. The Mexican Ambassador was in com munication during the day with - Acting Secretary Wilson in relation to press re ports that the department was surprised at the publication of the correspondence between President Diaz and President Taft concerning the Nlcaraguan situation. The Ambassador assured Mr. Wilson that Secretary Knox had made it clear to him that after the substance of the letters had been published in the United States there would be no objection to the publi cation of the letters, which, accordingly, were given to the press of Mexico City.

Each wanted more and wanted it colder, A stampede was made to the. beaches eaxly Sunday morning and the exodus continued yesterday. A repetition of the trouble experi enced with the draw bridges Sunday occurred late yesterday afternoon on account of the expanded steel and "crawling" rails. The Burnslde-street bridge stuck several times during the afternoon and traffic was delayed un til it could be closed. The Morrison street bridge draw could not be closed for 45 minutes, between 6:30 and 7:.30 o'clock yesterday night, and 5000 peo ple were held up in the blockade and Jam of streetcars. Flreboat Called Into Service. The flreboat George H. Williams was called into service and threw water on the bridge. Assisted by a cool breeze, which sprung up as the sun slipped behind the Coast Range, the steel was eventually cooled until the draw swung back into place. Through it all Weather Observer Ed ward A. Beats maintained his conserva tive attitude and pointed to higher heat records that Portland survived, as if to console a sweltering populace. No rain of consequence has fallen In Portland since the heavy showers on June 10 and 11, Rose Festival week. The period from June 16 to June 22 was showery, but the amount on eac. of those days was scarcely sufficient to lay the dust. Since June 23 not a drop of rain has fallen in Portland and this period of 20 days Is an unusually long one without rain, although It is the dry season of the year. Following were the temperatures taken hourly: 5 A. M. , 05; 6 A. M., 6G; 7 A. M., 68- 8 A. M-, 70; 9 A. M., 73; 10 A. M.. 78: 11 A. M., SO; 12 noon, S3; 1 P. M.. 83- 2 P. St., 87; 3 P. M., 90; 4 P.

County Commissioner Goddard has' made arrangements with Alex Donald son, superintendent of the Street-Cleaning Department, by which he will water the bridges whenever the bridge tend ers notify him. It is probable that during the hot days this will be done each night about 8 o'clock, after the evening run. The wooden blocks used as flooring on the bridges are said to be drying Out, so that they need a soaking. The moisture is said to prevent un due expansion of the steel streetcar tracks. These sometimes lengthen to such an extent in hot weather, that it is necessary to aaww off the ends to open the bridge draws, as was the case on Sunday. Eugene Temperature Huns to 9&. EUGENE, Or., July 11. (Special.) The warmest days of the Summer have been Saturday, Sunday and today. To night the weather has greatly moder ated.

CLEVELAND, July 11 Cheered by an audience of "progressive" Republicans as the "people's candidate for Governor of Ohio," James R. Garfield tonight opened the fight to place Ohio in the "insurgent" column. ' In a two-hour speech, in which he avowed himself an "Insurgent," the ex-Secretary of the Interior set forth the platform upon which the "progressive" Republicans of this state will enter the Fall campaign. The meeting was avowedly the chris tening of the newly organized "progres sive Republican" movement in Ohio and its slogan as announced by Mr. Garfield is "Manhood first and property second." Mr. Garfield declared that the Nation stood today In a critical situation; that confronting the country was the prob lem whether the fight of the "pro gressives" was to be carried to a suc cessful issue or whether they were to surrender, and admit government for and by the people was a failure. He said in part: "Like the prodigal youth, we, as a Nation have wasted our resources, sold our inheritance, acquired evil habits, but fortunately we have realized the need of radical changes In time to save ourselves. Two to Choose From. "At the coming election, we are to chose between two great National par ties. The Democratic party, while de claring against special interests has, when in power, allied Itself with spe cial interests. Many of its leaders have been and are the recognized rep resentatives of special Interests. '"In our own state, the Democratic Governor failed to be on the people's side in the fight for a public utilities bill, and the Democratic Senators de feated that measure In the recent Democratic convention, the 'progres sive' Democrats were ignored. I can see no hope for better things from Democracy as now constructed. "How is it with the Republican par ty? It likewise has among its leaders some who are allied with or represent special interests, but on the other hand, it has progressive, aggressive leaders who are the people's representatives. Insurgents Paid Tribute. "The country owes a debt of grati tude to the Insurgents in Congress who made the fight against the domination of special Interests, and who placed the common good high above party regularity. "The real friends of conservation re lied upon insurgents and their 'pro gressive' allies for the protection of the public domain against the assaults of special interests. "Insurgent Senators prevented the passage of the Alaska bill, which in Its original form might have turned over untold wealth of Alaska to a fa vored few. "The real danger to the Republican party," he said, "comes from the re actionary, who is controlled by special Interests and from the 'standpatter' who, because It is the easiest way, is willing to return to the weak policy of laissez faire. To follow such leaders means disaster." INSIDE HISTORY IS TOLD French Socialists Reveal Dealings in Famed Bank Wrecking. PARIS, July 11. M. Jaures, socialist leader in the Chamber of Deputies, and Premier Brland today to explain the part taken by ex-Premier Georges Cle menceau in the arrest of Henri Ro chette, a banker, whose financial In stitutions, the Franco-Spanish Bank and the Credit Miner, were closed in March, 1908.
