SPECK AGAINST THE SKY.
Frenchman Rises So High Specta

Until He Returns to
the Earth.
Los Angeles, Cnl.. Jan. 13.-Clrcllng
In a special over nvlatton field, IaiuIs
raullmn In n Farmnn biplane mounted
C.140 feet Into the nlr, breaking nil al
titude records for heavier than nlr
machines.
Pnulhan's nscent was one of the
most spectacular aviation feats ever
witnessed and brought the crowd of
40,000 persons to Its feet, waiting
breathlessly ns the big machine lost
lis outlines, became n mere bit of
black against the clear sky and was
again seen In a long perilous sweep ns
the aviator descended, swooping to the
west and reversing his course when
within 500 feet of the earth.
With not a wisp of cloud In the sky,
Paulhan rose in the brilliant sun
shine to a point where he could look
over the snowy sky line of the Sierras
to the west. A slight breeze from the
cast which had been stirring earlier
lulled just before his ascent, and he
remarked to Mrs. I'aulhan Just before
starting the machine, "It is now or
never." "Von will bring down the
record," was her reply.
Mrs. Paulhan, who had watched her
husband's night with sobs and emo
tion, broke into tears as the machine
swept to the earth and Paulhan fell
into her units. As lie climbed from
the machine the little Frenchman was j
near), c. Unlisted and walked unstead-1
"iyl Ids .jjwitb Tlrs. Pnjilhar-siip-1
porting him.
The crowd, which had been cheering
frantically, was fought back by the
regular and special police, members of
the local aviation committee and aero-,
nauts from a dozen different states
seeking to break through the ropes to j
carry their congratulations to the little
Frenchman.
Glenn II. Curtiss, the American nvl-
ator, who broke the speed record for i
the course by circling the mile and a j proposed a budget so advanced in its
half in 2 minutes 13 3-5 seconds, an-1 methods of raising revenues by pine
nouneed his determination to surpass ing a large share of the burden upon
Paulhan's height performance.

against an executive ofllccr of the
American Sugar Iteflulng company, tho

undcrweigiiing frauds that cost the
United States treasury millions of dol
lars. The news comes out almost simul
taneously with a deniaj by the direct
ors of the trust that any executive of
ficer or director had any knowledge of
or participated in the fraudulent un
derwelghlng. The denial was made in
the annual report read to tho stock
holders at tlie annual mcctiug in the

"No attempt whatever has been
made to shield any one, and your
board has no reason to believe nnd
docs not bolievo that any executive of
ficer or director of this company had
any knowledge of or participation In
this fraudulent undcrweigiiing."

Boyle. Coy Its and Hennessey, the
checkers who each gifcn year in pris
on for minor parts in the conspiracy,
the information leading to the man
hb-hor up. ii Is no particular secret
around the federal building that two
other former employees of the trust,

read. After tho reading was finished
resolution was adopted approving
the present manasemeiil of the com

the crookedness was the statement
that the directors did not believe that
(here was anything illegal In the
wrecking of the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining company, for which live of
the directors of t lie trust were In
dicted for conspiracy in restraint of
trade.

LULL IN WASHINGTON.
Warfare Between Regular and Insur
gent Republicans Rests.
Washington, Jan. 13. There was
something or a lull In the ruction be
tween' tho regular nnd Insurgent Re
publicans of the house. The Insur
gents did not look particularly cheer
ful, however, and It was reported pret
ty generally that Representative Nor
rls of Nebrnsku. a leading insurgent,
had received a letter from President
Taft which gave cold comfort to all
members of the Republican party who
are now outside the breastworks.
It Is understood the letter deals
wl(h the attitude of the administra
tion toward those Republicans of the
house who make the claim thnt they
arc friendly to the administration,
but determined to fight Cannon nnd
Cunuonism forever and ever.
On motion of Representative Dalzcll

BILL AGAINST WHITE SLAVERY!
Measure Aimed at Illicit Business
Passed by House of Representatives.
Washington. Jan. 13.- The Howell
white slave bill, reported as a substi
tute for two bills by Representative
Rennet of New York and one by Rep
resentative Sahath on the same sub
ject, was passed by the house. Fa
vorable action was taken also by the
house on the Bonnet 1)111 for the relief
of clerks of courts having to do with
naturalization cases designed to re
lieve Ihe congestion with respect to
fhe naturalization of aliens.
TMe approved white slave bill differs
from fhe .Maun bill, which will soon
b" brought before the house, in that
It iiu-ludes immoral men in its prohib
itory provisions and strcugf liens laws
affecting the detention and deportation
of undesirable aliens. While Mr. Mann
spoke somewhat sarcastically of the
Howell bill when some members of
the immigration and naturalization
committee, from which It was report
ed, asserted that It was modeled on
ills own proposition, lie admitted that
the measure, did not conflict in any
material particular with his own bill.
With respect to the naturalization
bill Mr. Rennet said It would aeconi
plish what congress had Intended to
accomplish in the law of 189.1, but I
which was rendered inoperative by u
ruling of the comptroller of the treas
ury, from which there was no appeal.
He thought It would have ImmedlaU
effect In relieving congestion in courts
where there was considerable pres
sure, as It provided adequate meas
ures for the relief of clerks of courts.

AUTO BILLS INTE' 3 ALBANY
Three Regulating Us a Machines In
troduced In th 5 .embly.
Albany, N. Y., JaiiniT. Automobile
legislation got a spurt in the assembly.
Three bills, nil seeking to remedy ex
isting evils, were introduced. Assem
blyman Charles A. Dana of New York,
who was an assistant district attorney
under Mr. Jerome, believes he hns the
best Idea. Assemblyman Callnn of Co
lumbia proposes to have the legisla
ture consider the Massachusetts meth
od of governing autos and chauffeurs
by taxing them according to their
horsepower, with a maximum of $25.
Assemblyman Joseph of New York
gets near Police Commissioner Bak
er's idea of automobile signs by pro
posing to have nil signs attached to
automobiles Illuminated by a white
light. Tills would give tho police a
chance to catch the number of speedy
autos when they whiz through tho
dark.
Mr. Dana's bill requires that nil
operators of automobiles must pass an
examination for chauffeur before se
curing a license; that n license fee ol
$10 must be paid for a car less than
thirty horsepower and $20 for a car
over thirty horsepower, the revenue to
be turned over to the state highway
commission for the Improvement of
roads. Tho bill provides for new
speed regulations of fifteen miles in
built up portions of cities, twenty-five
Z1 JilLblllim!,8 11
and provides for the cancellation of
the chauffeur's license after his fourth
conviction for violation of the speed
limit law. All persons learning to
operate automobiles are required to
have experienced chauffeurs nt their
side.
Committee appointments were mndtt
in the senate mid assembly.
