PRESIDENTIAL
TRAIN STOPS
On Monday last at New York City
during the last day of the Hudson
Fulton celebration Wilbur Wright
defied the air. the water, and the
land in a marvelous filKht over the
numberless craft in New York har
bor and the North River. Starting
at 9:56, the aviator headed in the
wind and flew over ferryboats,
yachts, steamers and other craft in
the harbor.
Flying high, Mr. Wright went up
me .-sort li itiver. over the fleet of
battleships and on, past Grant's
tomb, encircling the British cruiser
Argyle. Returning at faster speed
with the wind, he came back over the
water and landed at his starting
point.
He had been gone for 33 minutes
and 33 seconds, making one of the
most perilous trips ever attempted,
i he distance of the flight was estim
ated at 20 niilc.
"The machine responded In fine
shape." said Mr. Wright, as he climb
ed out through the network of wires
of the machine at the aerodrome on
Governors Island. "The motor
worked fine. I started about 75
feet above the water, but kept climb
ing higher until I was about 200 feet
or 300 feet high. The air currents
sent up by the funnels of the ferry
boats interfered somewhat and I
came down nearer the water.
"I could hear the cheers of the
sailors on the warships," continued
Mr. Wright, as the enthusiastic
group of army officers and news
papermen that had awaited his re
turn grasped his hand.
"The wind was blowing about 10
miles an hour and I had to head in
a little toward the east, Instead of
pointing the machine straight up the
river.
"The flight fulfils every condition
of my contract," added the aviator,
in response to inquiries as to further
demonstrations, "but if the favorable
weather conditions continue this
afternoon I may make another flight.
As soon as possible I shall leave for
Washington to train the army officers."
As the aeroplane approached the
city, flying steadily, but bucking the
wind, the roofs of all the buildings
became crowded and pleasure craft
started up the river In an effort to
keep up with the machine that flew
above them. They were soon com
pelled to give up th" chase, for
Wright outstripped the fastest of
them.
As the machine pushed into the
breeze, occasionally dipping slightly
as though caught, by a downward
trend of the air, and then again was
lifted suddenly, the mastery of the
aviator was strongly Impressed on
the spectators.
The exact distance In a straight
line from Governor's Island to the
foot of West One Hundred and
Thirtieth street, which marked the
northernmost point of Wright's
flight, Is !Vi miles. This would nmk
his flight, If it had been in a straight
line, one of lSVi miles. Counting
curves and the circle at the start.
Mr. Wright estimates that hi! covered
more than 20 miles.

New York Press.
The train bearing President Taft
and party reached Grants Pass at
5:10 Monday morning and It re
mained in the yard only long enough
to cut off the helper which came
over the mountains with it from
West Fork. There was a stop of not
more than two minutes. The few
persons around the depot scarcely
noticed either the arrival or depart
ure. The brass mountings around
the rear end of tho Presidential car
were the only noticeable features to
show that it was not an ordinary
passenger train.
There Is nothing striking or un
usual in the external appearance of
President Taft's special train, made
up from cars belonging to the New
York Central Lines, In addition to
two cars from the Northern Pacific.
There are six cars in all told, and to
see the train passing one would
easily mistake it for an ordinary
passenger train, with the exception
that the two private cars, with their
brass railings at the entrances, vary
a little from the ordinary' Pullman
cars.
The first car, numbered 1998, Is
an om-iashloneit arrair witn small
windows. It has been converted In
to n general storage room, where the
provisions of the train are kept . Fol
lowing this Is car No. 4, the private
iir of H. C. Nutt, general manager
of the West End Division of the
Northern Pacific, and the back of
this is car No. 11, a plain-looking
coach known as the private car of
General Manager Slade of the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, who,
however, was not with the Presiden
tial party. In this car were railroad
officials and Secret Service men, and
Senator John L. Wilson, of Washington.
Next came the baggage car, which
also served as a sleeping and living
place for some of the railroad men,
Including Garrlt Fort, assistant vice-
president of the New York Central
lines, who had official charge of the
train. In this car were scores of
band boxes, suit cases and a few
trunks, which included some of the
President's baggage.
llehlnd the baggage car Is tU
coach occupied by Secret Service
men and a few others affiliated with
the Presidential party.
Last In the train Is the President's
car, the "Mayflower," which is es
pecially fitted as the President's
traveling home. It Is luxuriously
furnished and contains five state
rooms. Three of these have upper
and lower berths, while the other
two, one of which Is reserved for
the President, contain polished brass
bedsteads.
The President's stateroom Is near
the rear of the enr, but next to the
extreme end is an observation com
partment, where the President Is
served his meals and where he Is
seated much of his time while the
train is in motion, observing the
scenery through which the train Is

There Is a general belief that the
President of the United States, tra
veling In a Bpeclal train, Is carried
about the country free of charge by
the various railroad companies. This
is wrong In regard to President Taft,
although years ago the . President
was always the guest of the ratlroad
companies when traveling long dis
tances. The President and his party must
pay their fares like other people.
The Interstate Commerce law pre
vents anyone from getting free fare
between states, and the President Is
no exception to this rule.
The president buys a ticket for
the whole party, 36 In number, Just
the same as the manager of a thea
trical company does. The ticket
for the Southern Pacific was pur
chased in Portland and it carried
the party to San Francisco.

cial from Peoria:
William Armstrong, aged 24, of
Qulncy, III., Is dead, his brother
Harold, aged 18, is dying, and Archie
Johnson, of Grants Pass, Ore,, is
seriously Injured as the result of a
collision between their automobile
and a Chicago ft Northwestern
freight train at Hilda, 111., 50 miles
north of Peoria. The two Injured
men were brought to Peoria and tak
en to a hospital In an unconscious
condition and so far have not been
sufficiently revived to talk of the
accident. Tho remains of William
Armstrong, who was driving the
auto at the time of tho accident,
were held by the coroner of Rurenu
county who will hold an Inquest.
The party left Chicago after pur
chasing the machine In which they
were riding and It appears that a
corn field prevented them from see
ing the on-rushlng train at tho fatal
crossing. The Armstrong boys are
sons of Andrew Armstrong, a
wealthy whiting manufacturer
