NEW YOIUC, Nov. 20. Hulh Imw, a
willing mtio Amsrlcnn, took lier placo na
the premier woman aviator of tlio world
today, when "alio equaled tlio American
record for cross-country Hying.
Sho landed at Governors Island nt 9:38
a. m.. having flown 840 miles from Chi
cago In an old-stylo exhibition aeroplane.
Sho mado but two stops, tlio first nt llor
ell, N. V., and tho second at lilnghamton,
vrhtra sho Bpcnt tho night. She was forced
to nllght because sho had run out of
gasoline.
Fully exposed to tho wind and cold, owing
to tho fact that tho typo of mnchlne sho
drove forced her to sit out In front nt her
motor without nny shield for protection,
tho plucky young woman outstripped Victor
Carletrom'a record for continuous cross
country flight made on November 2 In tho
very lftto.it typo of machine, and then con
tinued her journey and flow further than
Bny woman before In history.
Miss Law's non-stop record stands as tho
, iecond longest fight that has eer been
made. Her (light of 590 miles Is exceeded
only by that of Sublieutenant Marchal,
of tho French army, who flew from Nancy
to Chelm, Poland, In Juno of this year.
The tllatanco of this flight was S12.G miles
nusuMcs unit voyage
Miss Law left Chicago at 7:25 (central
time) Sunday. Sho reached Ilornell 590
mllei away at 3:24, continued 120 miles
further to Dlnghamlon, reaching there at
4:20, and resumed her flight early this
morning.
Her flying tlmo for the entire trip was
eight hours nnd flfty-nlno minutes
Numb with cold. Miss Law was helped
from her aeroplane nt Governors Island by
liaJor-Gcnoral Wood, Henry Woodhouse
and Augustus Post, tho latter two Gov
ernors of the Aero Club of America. Sho
was Immediately hustled into an automo
bile and drUcn to an army oltlcer's houso
eto "thaw out "
The last leg of tho flight 270 miles
was mado through n dense fog. Miss Law
tald tho fog wns eo heavy that she was
forced to fly vry low, barely topping tho
hills along tho Hudson. In order to he able
to see tho ground to keep her bearings.
Tho fog wns so dense. In fact, that her
flight was followed with dlfllculty after
aha left Ulnghamtiin.
"I'm awfully well pleased Hint I've been
ablo to beat tho American record," Miss
Law said "Hut I could have done better.
I bollevo I could have made tho flight all
tho way through If things hnd turned out
tho way I expected them to. And I'm
going to try It again.
"When I made up my mind to try this
flight from Chlcngo to New York," she said.
"I got Into communication with tho Curtlss
aeroplane factory and tried to buy a big
battle plane, ona of tlie most powerful I
could get. Hut they wouldn't let me havo
IL They wcro afraid that woman couldn't
handle tho powerful mnchlnery nnd manip
ulate their big machlno In that long trip.
"When they kept on putting me off, I
-just decided to hop Into that little machlno
and make ono great effort.
"It didn't hardly seem possible that I
could make tho trip through to New York
without a stop. My machine will not carry
enough gasoline. But I'm going to linia
that big machlno and I'm going to try It
all over again."
Speaking of her machine. Miss Lnw
pointed laughingly across the fleld to where
her biplane ncs'tled In the shadow of the
huge aeroplane Victor Carlstrom used when
ho attempted the flight between Chicago
nnd New York. The sturdy old-fnshloned
machine with which Miss Law shattered
Carlstrom's record was not half as large
as the Curtlss monster that Carlstrom had
left on tho aviation fleld. Tho small ma
chine Is barely 100-horsepower, whllo that
of Carlstrom Is capable of 200.
On the cuff of one of tlio avlatrlx'a gloves
was a tiny map. She had drawn it herself
and It outlined almost a perfect course
from Chicago. She had Jotted down on a
(Up of paper pasted alongside It the names
of the towns over which sho passed to
gether with other data for tho records of
the Aero Club.
Miss Law declared she had absolutely no
trouble with her machine. It behaved
nicely all tho way for her.
Officials of the Aero Club of America,
which sanctioned tho flights, wero enthuat
aatlo over Miss Law's feat. She paid all
the expenses of tho flight, but asked an
official sanction for tho trip so It might be
made a record.

A carnival of nolso greeted the victorious
Unlverstty of Pennsylvania football team
on Its return today from Ann Arbor, Mich.
The atald college buildings, overrun by 3000
triumphant students with a commandeered
hurdy-gurdy, horns, drums, pie-plates and
lusty lungs, wcro rocked to their founda
tions when the team arrived.
The celebration began In an apathetlo
fashion at tho Heading Terminal, where
the train bearing tho conquering football
heroes arrived at 7: 4 1 o'clock this morn
ing There were only a half-doxen atecpy
eyetl students there to greet them, but half
nn hour later, after the tenm had finished
breakfast In the station restaurant, the
delinquents began to pllo into the parado
that eacorted the team's bus westward on
Mnrket street.
TltOLLEYS HALTED
The procession Increased In numbers as

trolley cars.

WRECK Of MEMPHIS
CAUSED BY NEGLECT
Continued from Tate On '
wavo rolled In the cruiser Castlno had full
steam up and easily rode out of danger
Into the high sens.
At 1!S0 p. m. that day tho ccoka nnd
bakers of tho Memphis engaged In a race In
rowboata. One of the boats caplxed, nnd
It was 1 130 p. m. before It was righted nnd
pulled ashore. Admiral Pond was ashore.
About Ji30 p. m. tho MemphH began to
roll dangerously, although tho sky wns still
clear. At 3t50 tho ofneera began to get
worried and ordered tires lighted In four
other bolters. The roll of the ship was then
about 10 degrees.
Two other boilers ere connected with
the main engine, but the engine refused to
respond. Tons of water camo oer the
side nnd poured down tho hatches extin
guishing the (Ires, Dynamos were attached
to tho blowers In the hope that tho Urea
could bo fanned "Into activity, but the at
tempt was n failure. The whole ship nas
now burled In darkness, and tha men In
the englneroom waded waist deep In brine.
Ihe engineers and firemen soarched for
lanterns, but tho man In charge of them
had locked them up, and had gono ashore.
At this Juncture Captain Beach yelled
down Into tho engines room:
"If you don't got thoao engines going
soon, we'll bo on tho beach."
Kor thing wns now chaos on tho ship,
which was drnglgng Its anchor nnd drift
ing shoreward Heernl men on thn deck
wero pinned under shifting hatches nnd
suffered broken legs. Below a Jacklo wns
caught under a piano nnd sustained a
broken leg A cook In tho kitchen wns
crushed under an Ice box.
At 4 40 o'clock tho Memnhls struck the
first reef In tho harbor. Tho Impact tore
away tho port sldo engine room, taking
nwny a 23,000-horsepower engine, killing
O. W. Itudd, tho chief engineer's mate, and
severely Injuring sex era! others. Tho Im
pact wns nccompnnlcd by a terrific grinding
nolso nn tho Jagged reef bit Into tho steel
plates of the Memphis.

Navy Secretary Promises
Improvement at Yard
Without Delay
MAY ASK EXTRA SUM
Bv n Staff CorrnvonJfnt
WASIIINOTO.V, Nov. 20. It wns an
nounced today that tho Philadelphia yard
would bo equipped for battleship building
without unnecessary delay.
Secretary Daniels said that It It became
heeesary, the Department would ask for
nn additional appropriation to Improve the
I'hlladolpliln yard. Tho prrsont authoriza
tion of $6,000,000 for Improving Oovern
ment yards docs not specify that this shall
bo divided. Under tho law, therefore, the
Sccretnry of tho Navy could expend nil of
thin amount on ono ynrd. Secretary Dan
iels, however, does not wish to exerclso thin
authority, nnd, therefore, will dlldo the
appropriation nmong tho ynrda and nsk for
an additional amount for tho Philadelphia
yard.
The ltoilso Naat Affairs Committee to
day began hearings on tho tinvy bill which
will carry about 1375.000,000. Admiral
Strauss was tho first witness who discussed
ordnance ami tho necessity for 16-Inch guna.
Representatives Thomas 3 Butler, of
Pennsylvania, nnd William 3. Browning, of
New Jersey, ltepubllcan members of this
committee, said they would fight fot ft big
appropriation for the Philadelphia yard.
Tho latter said that from what ho had been
told by tho New York Ship Building Com
pany of Camden, N. J., that consolidated
concern proposed to make It the biggest
equipped na to tnko caro of n great part of
tho new naval program.
Tho equipment of tho yards will not bo
under discussion before the House Navnl
Affairs Committee until Admiral Harris,
chief of yards nnd docks, testifies. Ho Is
favorable to the Philadelphia yard, having
come from that yard (o his present position.
