The ship owners’ committee today is- sued a manifesto of a conciliat character, appealing to the strikers tu resume work and enable the with- drawal of the lockout notice against the shipping employes here. The ma ifesto expressed a willingness on the part of ship owners to submit the grievances of the men to a joint com- mittze.

HIS AEROPLANE ATTACHED 123 Standard Oil Company Presents Clain for $300—Expects to Fly to Erie, Pa., or Buffalo, N. Y., Today. - Cleveland, -Aug. 17.—With another gain to his credit of 123 miles, Harry N. Atwood arrived in Cleveland this afternoon on his aeroplane flight from St. Louis to New York. He covered the 123 miles between Toledo and Cleveland- in an actual flying time of two hours and twenty minutes. “Just An Easy Canter.” “Just an easy canter,” said Atwood as he stepped from his biplane in a park on the lake shore in the city. “I almost went to€leep with the mon- otony of it. In five days New York will see me hop over its tallest sky- scrapers and glide into the sand at Coney Island.” Has Covered 643 Miles. The Bostonian is pleased with his Pprogress. He has now traveled 643 miles from his “starting point in St. Louis. He has still 622 miles to fly to reach his destination in New York. His total time actually in the air since he left St Louis last Monday is 13 hours and 15 minutes. Enthusiastic Greeting at Cleveland. Blowing of whistles and the cheering of peogle crowded on (e roofs of of- fice buildings made Atwood’s entry into Cleveland shortly before five o’clock as thrilling as the ovations ac- corded him at St. Louis, Chicago and Toledo. Coming with the “up hill” slant usual with him when approach- ing a city, the airman soared to an altitude of 1,500 feet where, enveloped in the misty atmosphere, the biplane was only indefinitely visible to the thousands of eyes turned toward it. First Landing In Wrong Place. - That an aerohaut cannot pick out the spot arranged for his landing in a strange city was again evidenced when Atwood, by mistake, at 4.41 p. m., de- scended at Edgewater park in the-wes- tern section, whereas Euclid Beach, 13 miles to the east, had been officially assigned to him. Not to disappoint the people Atwood again ascended and in fifteen minutes covered the thirteen miles over the city and safely landed. A few seconds later he threw the switches of the biplane and jumped out, his face reddened by the hard drive against the wind. Made Two Landings. Leaving Toledo at 10.20 a. m., At- wood skirted along the edge of Lake Erie at an altitude varying from 200 1o 500 feet. He made landings at Ven- ice and Sandusky. altheugh his sched- ule called for only one landing. For twenty miles after leaving Sandusky at 3.15 p. m.,, he steered his machine out over the lake, while the popula- tions of towns and villages ran to the water’s edge. 3 Abandoned Course Over Lake. Finding the air currents over the lake too uncertain, Atwood returned to a point over the land and at Lorain resumed his regular course over the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad tracks. 55 Miles in 59 Minutes. With farms, woods. villages and riv- ers spinning beneath him in .a blurr, caused by a mist which swept in from the lake, he made his best time be- tween Toledo and Venice, He flew the 55 miles in 59 minutes, including time lost in searching for a landing place. According to programme he Wwas to have landed first at Sandusky, three miles further east, but coming up at more than a mile a minute clip, saw that the proposed landing place where thousands of people were gath- ered, was too small, _Quickly veering around he retraced his route ‘'and spying an open area at Venice, landed there. This accounted for his making two stops instead of one in the Toledo-Cleveland flight. Is Not Trying for Speed. “The fact that I am in Cleveland to- night when I didn’t expect to reach here before Sunday shows how far speed. But I see no reason why at wood. “These numerous stops which I am compelled to make are keeping me back. T am not half trving for speed. But if T see no reason why at even a moderate clip I cannot make the 622 miles between here an New York in five or six days. The beat- Inz against the wind along the treach- €rous air currents near the lake are putting my wings and engine to a se- vere test, and they are standing, the test beautifully. Since T left St. Louis not a single thing has been done to my biplane except to put in the necessary oil and gasoline.” To Erie or Buffalo Today. Atwood up to a late hour tonight ‘was uncertain what his programme would be tomorrow. He said he prob- ably would not leave Cleveland until the afternoon and then would start on a 95 mile trip for Erie, Pa. Still, he said, a change in_this plan migh result in his starting earlier and going on ‘to Buffalo. His Aeroplane Attached. Soon after his arrival here Atwood's aeroplane was attached on a claim for $300 alleged to be due it by the Stand- ard Oil company. It later was re- leased on a bond furnished by Atwood, who -explaned that the claim was for oil and gasolene furnished him on an eastern flight. The oil and gosolene, Atwood asserts, were given to him. CONNECTICUT BOY CALLS ON PRESIDENT TAFT. Paul Post Making a 3,000 Mile Trip 0= His Bicycle.

Convention. San Francisco, Cal.. Aug. 17.—Cleve- AUGUST 187 1911 Turned Trick . - ~ On Insurgents REGULARS ABSENT THEMSELVES FROM THE SENATE. AND BREAK UP COALITION Democrats In Full Control Could Not Consistently Carry Out Agreement With Insurgents on Cotton. ‘Washington, Aug. - 17.—A _ shrewd move by the regular republicans as unexpected as it was effective, today, suddenly threw -the democrats into complete control of the senate in_their own right and forced them absolutely to abandon their coalition with the Dprogressive republicans. House Bill Loaded With Amendments. Out of the chaos an dthe uproar came a bill to revise the cotton sched- ule of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. It was the bill as passed by the house, but saddied with amendments to re- vise the iron and steel, the cotton ma- chinery and chemical schedules of the tariff law, coupled with provision for reciprocal free trade in bituminous coal across the Canadian border. Regulars Absented Themseives. Democratic- votes alone were cast in favor of the bill. The regular re- publicans deliberately absented them- selves from the chamber and thus left their progressive colleagues in a hope- less and helpless minority. The in- surgents, taken completely by sur- prise, were thrown into a rage. Charge Democrats With Treachery. Alternately they denounced what they termed the treachery of the dem- ocrats with whom they had been in alliance, and inveighed against the regular republicans for the part they had played in the new combination which had brought about a revolution in the senate-as stratling and sensa- tional as the coalition which earlier had robbed the regulars of their su- premecy in the upper house of con- gress. enSatorial Courtesy Forgotten. In vain the insurgents invoked all but forgotten rules of the senate to compel fhe regulars to attend and to cast their votes. Senatorial courtesy, so long revered and jealously defend- ed, was tossed to the winds. The in- surgents cHarged that the democrats had broken faith, aithough in caucus last night the latier had determined to carry through an insurgent-democrat- ic programme on the cotton bill which would have included the adoption of a. LaFollette substitute for the house measure. They insisted the democrats had entered into an agreement or un- derstanding with the regulars to leave the progressives in the lurch. Bristown Overheard Conversation. Neither the regular republicans nor the democrats would admit that such an understanding existed, but Senator Bristow of Kansas boldly declared that tween Senator Johnston of Alabama, a democrat, and Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, the regular republican leader, that left no doubt in his mind. Democrats Seek To Aid Regulars. Despite the drastic rules invoked, many of the regular republicans still insisted upon their right to decline to vote and when serious consequences threatened they resorted to motions to be excused, which in several cases were carried by safe majorities. The democratics sought to relieve their new found alies with a blanket motion of excuse from voting but this plan failed.” Had To Throw Down Insurgents. Whatever the agreement, what- ever the understanding, the results accomplished were both definite and decisive. The democrats found them- selves in a position, where, for the sake of party consistency, they had to disregard completely their previous arrangements with the insurgents. This arrangement was based upon the belief that the democratic house bill first would be defeated and that then the democrats and insurgents would combine to pass a La Follette come promise measure, just as was done with the wool schedule. Democrats Against La Follette Bill. Senator La Follette finally offerel his bill as a substitute for the house bill and the amendments that had been added to it. The substitute securad no votes, however, but those of insu gents. The democrats voted against it, as did a handful of regular republi- cans, all other republicans either ab- senting themszlves from the chamber or refusing to vote. Vote on Cotton 1l Then came the final vote on the house cotton bill. As the first call of the roll was concluded those who had kept track of the vote realized that tha democratic cotton bill had re- ceived a favorable vote of 29 to 19. Cummins Rises in Wrath. Senator Cummins was on his feet at once, demanding that the rule of the senate compelling members to vote or to give their reasons for not voting be enforced. “I kno and the president kmows,” said Senator Cummins, “that there are senators sitting here in full view of the senate who did not answer or vote when th2ir names were called.” ’ - Several senators protested that this rule had never been invoked within their knowledge. Regulars Leave Chamber. “The rulz is plain,” said Vice Presi- dent Sherman. “If it is invoked it 1s the duty of the chajr to enforce it.
