White-Winged, Birdlike Nuhho Swept Out from the E-flvml'l}u.nd'l'm Clrchn.dnClulky Cliffs of . Steals a Dover, July 25.—This town experienced . the known in & g rise this morni like ma hine witl tor swept out haze ob: the sea toward the distant French. t and, circling twice above the alky qliffs ‘of Dover, alighted English soil. A calm Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, a poftly and red mus- tached man of 31, descended from the saddle, limping on a bandaged foot, which had been burhed on his - overland fl patriots, who had been waving a big| tri-colored nu as a signal for the land- ing place, fell upon him enthusiastical- 1y, embracing him, shouting and pound- ing him on the back. They, witha few soldiers -and ot! ‘who happened by chance to be on the scene, were the only persons to witness the finish of & most remarkable feat. Wind Blowing Twenty Miles an Hour, Bleriot left Lesbaragues, three miles from Calais, about 4.30 a. m., on one of the smallest monoplanes ever used. He crossed the chanmel in a little less than half an hour, twice as swiftly as the fastest mailboat. His speed aver- aged more than forty-five miles an hour; sometimes it approximated sixty miles. He kept about 250 feet above sea level and for ten minutes, while about mid-channel, was out of sight of both coasts and of the French tor- pedo destroyer which ~followed him, with his wife and friends aboard. The wind was blowing about twenty miles an hour and the sea was choppy. The aviator was swathed in a singl garment of drilling, impervious to the wind, which covered him from the top of his head to his feet, only his face showing. He also wore a cork lifebelt. The Landing Described. An eye witness of the landing -de- scribed it as follows: “Very early in the morning a wireless message was received from Calais that Bler\ok (ntendd to make the flight. Then in quick succession came the pews that he had left land, that he was P ing: high and was fast Dover. was expected that he would land ‘west of Dover, but from the direction it was soon evident that he would to the eastward.

By his achievement Bleriot wins the rize of $5,000 offered by the London aily Mail for the first flight across the nglish channel and stole a march en ubert Latham and Count De Lambert, oth of whom had hoped to nu.ke the attempt today. Aviator Tells Story of His Flight. Bleriot, who speaks a little English, « described his flight modestly. “T arose at 8 o'clock,” he said, “and went to the aeroplane shed. Finding everything in order on the trial spin, I decided to make the flight. BODY OF UNKNOWN MAN FOUND IN A CELLAR, Had Evidently Been There for Many Months—No Means of Identification. ‘Waterbury, Conn, July 25.—The body of an unknown man was found in the cellar of the abandoned railroad station at Lofty Crest, one mile above ‘Waterville, on the Naugatuck division, this afternoon. It was viewed by Cor- oner Richard T. Higgins of Winsted, who ordered it removed to Watertown, There are no means of identifying the remains. . The body was badly decom- posed and had evidently been there many months. The clothing is of good material and the hat bore a St. Louls firm’s mark. Nothing was found in the pockets except four pages of a dime novel. Coroner Higgins wag of the opinion that death resulted some natural cause, but after he had gone away an empty carbolic acid bot- tle was found near the place. NO DRINKING ON TRAINS. Kansag Demands That the Railroads Enforc New Law. Topeka, Kan., July 25.—The state board of railroad commissioners is sending out notices to all the railroad panies operating in Kansas to be- gin the enforcement of the law which ?roh"’lt! the drinking of intoxicating iquors on passenger trains in Kansas, The law” was passed by the recent legislature, but none of the companies has paid any attention to it. Under its provisions railroads are required to post notices in all passenger coaches that it is unlawful to drink liquors on the trains. Any conductor who finds anyone drinking may arrest him and hold him until the next station is reached, when he is to be turned over to any police officer. SUB-STATION ROBBED. #25 in Money and Postages Stamps Taken—Thieves Escaped. Bristol, Conn., July 25.—The Bristol armacy run by H.

York, previous pt. Immediately two com- 1 French torpedo boat destroyer which was in attendance was signalled. Then I rose in the air and pointed directly to Dover. After ten minutes I was out of sight of land and had left the war- ship well behind. For a few minutes I could not see either coast nor any boat. I tried to keep at an average height of 250 feet. I might easily have | gone higher. This was about the right | height, 1 thought, to clear the Dover cliffs safely. “The machine dipped .toward the water several times, I put on more petrol once. I estimate that the pro- pellers were going from 1,200 to 1,400 revolutions a Thulte. ‘The first objects 1 saw were ships off the English-coast. Then I observed Deal ard I discovered that the wind. which was southwest, | was carrying me thither. I veered to the southward to Dover castle and then saw-friends flour! a flag in a val- ley suitable for landing. I made two circles ‘while lessening the speed and then dived downward, but I came-in contact with the ground sooner than I expected. - Both the machine and my- self were badly shaken. “A_few persons quickly assembled and I was helped out, as my injured foot was painful. -1 am exceedingly glad to be here.’ Machine Weighs 400 Pounds. Everyone expressed surprise at the small size of the machine. It is no more' than twenty feet across. the wings and its weight is about 400 pounds, the motor being twenty-five horse power. It is the smallest of three he took to Calais. The machine is fit- ted with an airtight sausage shaped rubber bag so that it would float if it descended to the sea. Bleriot said, however, that he had absolute. control of the machine throughout and had no fear that the motor would fail. The only difficulty he experienced was the force of the wind, which hurt his face and eyes badly, and the wind eddies which twisted his machine about while near - igg the English coast. Congratulated by llvnl. Count Lambert came from Calais by boat to congratulate his rival. A tele- gram arrived from Hubert Latham, who a few days ago failed in his at- tempt to cross the channel, saying: “I hope to follow you soon.” M. Bleriot returned to Calais this af- urnogn. ORU*LE WRIGHT PLEASED Over the Success of the Franchman— “A Great Flight.” | Washington, July 25.—On the eve of an aeroplane flight involvingsperhaps even greater dangers than Bleriot risk- ed in crossing the English channel, Orville Wright tonight expressed great pleasure when he learned the success of the Frenchman. “I have said all along that Bleriot would be the first to make the flight across the channel, once he decided to attempt it,” said Mr. Wright. “It wi a great flight,” he added. But that it was a personal triumph for -Bleriot, rather than any indication of advancement in the art of flying, was ‘Wright’s idea of the significance or the accomplishment. Mr. Wright is familiar with the Bleriot monoplane and said: “His type of monoplane is based on the principles of the old French toys and on ‘the models used by Penaud, to which Pro- fessor Langley's machine was also sim- jlar. The monoplane, however, has not as good a method of control as the bi- The | plane which we use.” ST R 277TH ANNIVERSARY OF FOUNDING ©F TOWN OF MILFORD Elaborate_Preparations Making for the Celebration on August 28.

NEW BRITAIN MAN .RUN DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE. Probably Fatally Injured—Became Con- fused While Crossing Street. New Britain, Conn., July 25.—Louis Karum, employed in the brickyards here, was run into and probably fatal. ly injured by an automobile driven by R. W. Rice of 312 Willow street, New Haven, today.

His Theory of Downward Re: The president today explained to dren ! callers - his theory of downward re- tmo ghildren at her home | Vision—trom ‘a protectionist point ' of view. The idea is not to reduce du- ties to the point of affecting home in- dustries or to admit imports to what, from the republican standpoint, would be unfair competition with home-made articles. The president is represented s regarding downward revision as a means of protecting.the people from monopoly and excessively high prices. Each time a schedule which is regard- ed as having become excessively high as a result of the development of home industries and the progress of manu- president’s idea is said to ered to the extent of fixing a reason- able limit beyond which prices cannot be raised without inviting imports in just competition. He summed up the theory of tariff revision as not o much to bring about lmmed(ptely lower prices to the con- sumer,” but to protect the consumer from exofbitant prices which might he possible behind a tariff wall of exces- sive height. Nobody Ever Entirely Pleased With Any Tariff Bill Even with hides on the free list the president has not admitted in any of his talks that he would be entirely satisfied with the bill.
