Sum of $16,940.30 Used at Recent State Election—Letter Addressed to the Secretary of Stats Hartford, Conn., Nov. with the secretary of state today, expense statement of Charles A. Good- win, the republiean nominea for gov- ernor at the recent state election, shows that the sum of $16940.30 was expended. A lotter from Mr. Goodwin accompanies the statement to the ef- fect that ail the money expended ex- cept his personal account was expend- ed by the treasurer of the Goodwin club of Hartford. The statement was filed by Alderman Henry M. Sperry of this city. treasurer of the Goodwin club, and shows re- ceipts of $16.940.30 and expenditures of a like amount. Of the sum expend- ed $11,388.71 is cradited to the caucus account, $265.90 to the repyblican state held at Hartford and $5,- 59 to general clection »xpenses. The letter addressed to the secretary of stata accompanying the statement expenses, dated at Hartford, Nov. 23, foilows: “Dear While there is no require- ment th candidate shall enter a personal take this opportuni- ty to say that apart from personal ex- penses such money as 1 have expended in the campaign was expended through | the treasurer of the Goodwin club, the treasurer of the state central commit- tee and the treasurar of the reptblican town committee of Hargford. “It §s my-desire that those persons who in this campaign have shown me ‘great consideration’ will remember that Mr. Sperry undertook the work as treasurer of the Goodwin club from motives of friendship and the money he hds handled bas been handled un- der my personal direction and.the di- rection of the elub. “Apart from these expenses my per- sonal exvenses consisted of the up- keep of an automobile, the cost of which I do not attemst to calculate; two short trios on the railroad, and various subscriptions which may or may not -have, benefited me politically and which amounted in the whole to not more than $200.” The amounts expended by the can- didates for the governorship by the re- publican apd democratic candidates at the racent election is much less than that expended by the nominees of the two parties two years ago. In the campaign of 1903 the late Governor Lilley expended in the neighborhood of $25,000 and Judge A. Heaton Robertson the successful candidate this year, who gave the democratic state central com- mittee $4,000.

Needle Marked 9,970 Feet INK IN BAROGRAPH RAN OUT AT THAT HEIGHT. ALTITUDE RECORDS BROKEN At Point Breeze Aviation Field by J. Armstrong Drexel—Very Cold = Up There, Said Drex Philadelphia, Nov. 23.—J. Armstrong Drexel broke all aeroplane altitude rec- ords here today when he climbed above this city until his Bleriot monoplane was unable to make further progress in the rarified atmosphere. The ink in the needle of his barograph ran out at 9.970 feet, which was accepted as a new world’s record tonight by Clifford B. Harmon, chairman of the national council, Associated Aero clubs of America, and J. K. Duffy, eecretary of that body. The instrument is the same one which Johnstone carried when he made the former record of 9,714 feet at Belmont Park on Oct. 81 It was ught to this city today under the seal by Mr. Duffy in order that the record made would be official. Rapid Descent Made Aviator Seasick. Mr. Drexel left the aviation fleld at Point Breeze, in the extreme southern part of this city, at 3.23. He landed at Oreland, about twenty miles north of the spot where he had started, at £.46. In his climb he traveled at least thirty mileg to the northward, for when he started to descend after trying for fif- teen minutes to force the machine higher he glided down for a distance which he estimated tonight at about six miles. So swiftly did the mono- plane descend that the aviator was nauseated. However, he reached an the ground without injury. He at once notified the officials at the aviation field of his landing. AMr. Harmon and Grahame-White at once left for Oreland 'z an automo- barograph, still under seal, to this city. Disappointed at Not Making an Even 10,000 Feet. Mr. Drexel announced tonight that he is going to fly back to the avlation field tomorrow. = He was greatly dis- appointed when he found that the barograph had failed to record an even 10,000 feet. “The air was so light it | was impossible to maks the machine ascend another foot,” he said. “The engine would not carry it any further and I was up at the extreme altitude for more than fifteen minutes jumping the machine in an effort to secure a greater height.” Dressed for Below Zero Weather. Mr. Drexel tonight said that while it was very cold he did not Euffer as he did when he made his previous rec- ords of 6,750 feet at Lanark, Scotland, and 8,370 feet at Belmont Park, be- cause he was more warmly clad. He wore & specially Cconstructed-canvas suit over lambs wool underwear and three sweaters. His hands were en- cased in fur-lined gloves and ha wore a woolen cap and a mask with goggles to protect his head and face. Only a Speck in the Sky. When Drexel began his flight there was a light breeze. As the manbird rose in the air the aviator pointed its nose toward the north and In less than five minutes the monovlane was only a speck in the heavy sky. Drexel made circle after circle until it almost made one dizzy to watch the fast disappearing craft. When _the monoplane - finaily disappeared from view on the northern horizon the curl- osity of the crowd was at fever pitch and for more than an hour the one | topic was Drexel. Finally, when word reached the track that the'daring aviator had landed | safaly dt Oreland, twenty miles to the north, a mighty shout went up from | the anxious crowd and later, when it | was announced that a new world’s alti- tude record had probably been made, the cheering was renewed with more vigor.

Thé mileage overated on which this summary for monthly reports of the raiiroads is based was 238,493 as against 239,404 miles last vear.

Population | Conviction of Former Poli i mew trizl. of Greater New York GREATER THAN ALL THE REST OF THE EMPIRE STATE. 4,766,883 IN THE CITY ures of the Thirteenth Census Made Public—420,487 More . in the Gity “Yhan in the State'Outside. Washington, Nov. 38.—New York city for the first time has become greater in point of population than all the remainder of the state of New York outside the greater city limits. Thirteenth Census Statistics. Statistics giving the population of the state as enumerated in- the thir- teenth census and made public today show that the people of the country’'s greater city forms more than one-half of the inhabitants of the most populous state in the union. While this is the most striking feature of the New York census figures, almost as remarkable is the rate of growth of the Bmpire State. Since 1870 it has doubled in population, and the rate of increase during the past ten years, 25.4 per cent., the greatest since the decade be- tween 1840 and 1850, when the per- centage of increase was 27.5. This in- crease is largely attributable to the growth of the cities of the state and is believed by the census officials to be dus to the developments of the manu- facturing Interests and foreign immi- gration. | Larger Representation in National House. ‘With this increase in population will come a larger representation in thel lower branch of congress, where New York now has 37 members. The exact number of new representatives will be | 10 if the present ratio of apw)r'lon-i ment is retained by congress. Should ! the ratio be increased, this number | would be cut down, but it is concedad ! that the state 1l have an increased representation in congress. The Figures. | Of the 9,113,279 people in New York | state, as shown by today's statistics, 4,766,383 are in New York city and 4,346,396 in the state outside the city, making the city 420,437 greater in pop- ulation. In 1900 New York city con- talned 340,490 inhabitants less than the | state outside the city, the population | of the city being 3,437,202 compared with 3,851,692 in the remainder of the state. Of the 1,844,385 people by which the state increased during the past ten years, 1,320.681 were contributed by the city, while only 514,704 persons was the increase in the state outside the greater city of New York. Of the whole state’s growth about i8.4 per cent. was contributed by the city of New York. while the state without the city contributed only about 7 per cent., making the total increase over the 1900 figures 25.4 per cént. SUBPOENAS FOR WITNESSES IN TRIAL OF J. J. GALLAGHER. Who 8hot Mayor Gaynor—Case Before Grand Jury Tomorrow. New York, 23~The cause of the people against James J.
