m BREAKS ALL RECORDS French Aviator Remains in Air Nearly Three Hours. BATTLES WITH WIND AND RAIN Descends Only When Fuel Tank Is Ex hausted Hatlod ns Greatest of Aviators. Bethenoy Aviation Field, Ithoims, Aug. 20. Another sonsationnl exploit was added to tho mnrvols of aviation wcok today when Paulhani, tho plucky French aviator, broko tlic world's rec ord in a wonderful night of 2 hours 53 minutes 24 seconds for the Prix do la Champagne in a Voisin biplane. Dur ing 20 Minutes of tho time Paulham had a heavy rain and wind storm to contend with. Tho previous official record for time in tho air was made by Wilbur AVright nt Lomans, Docombor 31, 2 hours 20 minutes 23 1-5 seconds. Tho unofficial record was 2 hours 27 minutes 25 sec onds, made by Sommer at Marmellons. Paulham 's now record for distanco was about 134 kilometers, or S3 miles. IIo made 13 circuits of tho course and tho wind squall passed as ho was coming down tho home, stretch for tho last time. Simutanously, the dirigible Colonel Benard appeared to tho westward, plow ing its way majestically through tho smoko of tho city of Kheims. When Paulham finally camo down, it was be causo tho 56 litres of essence which ho carried in his tank was exhausted. Ho said tho machine and self-cooling motor had stood up perfectly and that it could have continued indefinitely if tho tank had been replenished. o one who witnessed tho flight now entertains tho slightest doubt that aerial navigation with heavier-than-air machines has a glorious future. Starting in a 12-knot breeze shortly before 4 o 'clock with tho avowed inten tion of completing tho 50 kilometers be fore 5 o'clock to bar his less venturo somo rivals, who desired to await calmer air, Paulham not only accom plished his original purpose, but con tinued to circle the vast plain until his tank was empty. STRIKERS AS SHARPSHOOTERS Civil War Continues at McKees Rocks Urged on by Debs, Pittsburg, Aug. 26. Tho town of Schoenville, where tho Pressed Steel Car company strike is in progress, has assufed a civil war appearance instead of a town riot-gripped. Sharpshooters are in tho woods on the heights above tho works. Troopers, heavily armed, parade all the streets. A great searchlight, mounted on top of the plant, with tho operator pro tected by a sheet of steel, is constantly revolving tonight to discover any effort to break inside the stockade and to spot sharpshooters. Tho state troopers have laid aside their maces and ride out of tne stockade with rifles across" the pom mels of their saddles. The entire community bears a grim aspect. Both sides are waiting for some .jnove that will bring on conflict. Eu gene Debs, tho socialist leader, today urged the men to fight to a finish, and they are determined that they will not leave tho community or give in. Arms are being purchased at gun stores and there is fear tho near future will bring about a conflict that will startle the coutry. During tho early hours this morning several shots hit the metal shield erect ed by the deputies for protection against fusillades out of the dark. The marks men were on a high1 hill about a quarter of a mile distant from tho works. Only tho poor ability of the marksmen pro vented tho loss of several lives today. The state troopers will not permit any one to stop and talk. The foreign ers must remain at a distance or. in doors, but they are stubborn and re vengeful. Further adding to tho warlike ap pearance of the stockade, Lieutenant Charles P. Smith and 25 troopers today wont to a largo tenement-bouso in Preston. Tho placo was surrounded and squads wero detailed to search the apartments of 20 families. Three rifles, ten revolvers, ten knives and a macheto wero confiscated. Morgan's Yacht Disabled.

Hubert Latham, tho French avi ator, today took glorious rovcugo for tho hard luck ho oxporienced in his re cent attempts to cross tho English Chan nel by establishing a now world's rec ord for distanco, 15i kilometers, 050 motors, or 95.88 miles. Latham covered 16 laps, or 150 kilometers, in 2 hours, 13 minutes, 9 seconds, and tho full dis tanco in 2 hours, 58 minutes, 0 3-5 sec onds, which aro also world's records Tho flight was at tho rato of about OS kilomotors an hour, as compared with 53 mado by Wright at Lomans and a fraction under 50 mado by Paulham yes terday. Nothing could havo exceeded tho beauty and imprcssivencss of tho pro longed flight. In graco of lines no othor aoroplano hero compares with Latham's monoplane. Tho Blightly tilted planes from tho long skitt'-liko body give it tho rescmblnnce, when close, to a winged canoe; whilo sailing high up in tho air, it looks from tho distanco liko a mammoth dragon. . For an hour, with fluttering wings, liko a living thing, it fought its way against tho storm of wind and rain at an averago hoight of 150 feet, mounting higher as tho wind roso, until nt tho worst of the storm, it roso fully 1000 feet. Latham early in tho day, with No. 13, an aeroplane of tho same type, mado a flight of moro than 70 kilometers, and after ho had finished, Count do Lambert covered 110 kilometers, 72.73 miles, in commanding fashion, Tho flights there fore in a singlo day totaled more, than 210 miles.

GOOD INTENTIONS GO WRONG Scarcity of Salmon in Rivers Attrib uted to Killing of Sealions. Astoria. Although tho slaughter of sealions has been carried on systemati cally for somo years and has received the sanction of tho stnto authorities as being a means of getting rid of one of the greatest natural onomics to tho salmon, thero is a well-defined oppo sition to tho practice being continued growing among somo of those who havo boon directly interested in tho fishing industry for several years. They assert that whilo tho sealions oxist on salmon and destroy ninny of thoso fish, they also drive tho fish into tho river, and that otherwiso tho salmon will not enter fresh water until they aro ripe and ready to spawn. To substan tiate their contention these men say that a similar caso occurred in Norway somo years ago. Thero the government took up the work of destroying certain natural enemies of tho salmon and tho result was that tho fish stopped entering tho rivers in schools or "runs," but straggled in much as thoy havo dono in tho Columbia this season. This year thero were hundreds of sea lions killed off tho muith of tho Colum bia and many moro wero frightened away, and the runs of salmon have been small.
