ENGLISH \ IIRIiOKIKS BREAKS AIM RECdRD HeAttisns Hh^ of 6,175 Feet in Biplane. Walter Brookins, in a Wright bl- PifiDe, broke the world’s altitude re cord at Atlantic'City, N. J., when he attained a height of 6,175 feet. He uaed his last drop of gasoline at his Iiighest altitude and was still climb ing when his engine missed explosion. The daring aviator brought his ma chine back to level to get the last drop of fuel out of the storage tank to reach the line of vision of engi neers on the beach. Reaching the imaginary line, Brook ins started to glide to earth, and his engine stopped entirely when he was 5,600 feet and still over the ocean. His circling glide to the beach, which the crowd believed to be a bit. erf fancy flying, was done to save him self from diving into the sea. Brookins was ready to collapse ^hen he reached the ground, and did tell of his plight in the air until siidnight after he had partly re covered, It is expected that tfie record will stand without protest. By his feat Brookins wins the $5,000 prize offered by the Atlantic City aero c-ub for breaking the world’s record nnless a higher altitude is reached ^fore the end of the present meet. COST OF CARRYINQ MAIL. Hitchcock Has Experts at Work In- vestigating the Railroad Rates. Postmaster General Hitchcock will the greater part of his sum* er vacation figuring on a way to uce the cost of hauling the mails. mpnf weeks the poiUAee depart- ^ to determine d«fl- iTnitZi to hamdle the ^mttd States mail. comBiling^ this infor mation is under way now. When the postmaster general recently announ ced that an increase in postage would be a good thing for certain classes of mail matter, new8x>apers and mag azines commenced a crusade, giving figures to show that the postofflce department wag being run at a loss where profit could be made if it was run on a business basis. A fiffht wat made in congress to have the matter of rallied mail rstes investigated, but those behind the movement were not successful. However It is possible thal.'ia con gressional investigation may be urged at the next sesaien. At any rate, con- MR. TAR SHIES AT ,THEm ISSUE IWclans Creifl President Witii Slirewd Move. The tariff is not to be 'an issue In the 1912 national campaign if Presi dent Taft can he^p it. Political lead- ejs credit President Taft with one of the shrewdest moves ever made in poMtics, to remove the tt^dblesome tariff question out of the, next na tional campaign. When President' Taft commenced his campaign for a national tariff board, which would investigate the workings of the tariff law and rei>ort ita findings to the president, instead of congress, it was generally thought that President Taft was anxious to get in close personal touch with the benefits and the. abui^es of the Payne- Aldrich law.^ It was!: not guessed at the time that anoth€#* reason lay be hind the move for the board. Now it is evident that the tariff board will tiake at least two years for Its worrk before Its report is mane. The report will be secret knd no one will know what it contains save the presideift andthe .members of the board. In the meantime should ihef demo crats attempt to hinge their^ campaign upon the tariff, republican leaders may be able to offset this attack fn some dearree by saying: “The tariff is being investigated now' by the national board. Its re port will be made ter t^resident Taft. The president will mold a bill to. re medy its defects and his ability to push legislation is too well known lor comment*' At the 1911 sesslop of congress it is belifived that tj^teurgents will bring up the <[U«stBn of tarll? revis ion, but their efforts along this line will be balked by the fact that the tariff board is at work. 50^0 PERSONS GO DiIT on big STRIKE fiannent Weikers Said to Be Oat in New M. • A RETURN MATCH. BROWNLOW DEAD. Well Known Tennessee Congressman Passes Away. _ Congressman Walter Preston Brownlow died at Johnson City, Tenn.: Friday, of Bright’s disease. Mr. Brownlow was 60 years old. He represented the first Tennessee dis trict seven terms in succession, and had been nominated for another term. He made a record surpassing all oth er congressmen from the south In point of achievements in the way oi appropriations for his district. His death will result in a state political confusion, and a struggle is looked foi between the Brownlow and Bvans re* imblican factions. Mr. Brownlow leaves a widow and five children. It Is 6aid Jeffries May Ask Same With Johnson. Jim Jeffries may ask for a return match with Jack Johnson, is a state ment contained in a Los Ahgeles dis patch received at New York. The in formation, which is said to come from reliable sources, says that Jeffries is credited with declaring that he would insist upon a return match with John- eon within six months * following the return from his hunting trip in the mountains. r Jeffries, it iu «*id, claims thdt if he ean go in the ring in as good condi tion as he was a few dai^ before the fight at Reno, he could defeat Johnson. Sam Berger, manaj;er for Jeflries, will make a statement later. Pifty thousand garment and cloak- makers, of whom eight thousand are women, walked out at'New York at the -call of the Internationa! Ladies Garment Workers’ Union, which de mands an eight-hour day, an increase in wages and a guarantee that con tractors stand behind sub-contractors for wage payments. The fight thus far is purely local, but officers of the union said thal" if the employers attempted to sublet their work to other cities,, notably Chicago, or Philadelphia and Cleve land, the union wcruld call a strike there also. The 1,100 factories In New York employ 100,000 hands, of which half are organized. The strikers hope to draw many of the non-union workers out by sympathetic strike. ' EAR FIGHT FILMS; Pictures of Jeffries-Johnson Fight to Be Tabooed by Many Cities. That 'the moving picture syndicate owning the Jeffries-Johnson fight films will resort to the courts of the several states to determine their right to pro duce tft^5 pictures was indicated at Philadelphia when one of the best known moving picture men in the country who has big interest in the syndicate" said .thai' the agitation against the displaying of the pictures would be fought. He said that too much money had been invested by the syndicate which represented 12 separate interests, to stand by and see the fight pictnnes prohibited without making a contest to determine the right of the city au thorities to stop the display. Mayor Reybum, of Philadelphia, said that there will be no Interference with the pictures in that city. While a few cities may let the pic tures be displayed, the, great majo^ ty of places will bar them. AtlantJa- Ga., and other Southern cities have already placed an embargo on them. Even England, It Is said, may bar the display of the fight films. SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Transylvania Division. Effective 12K)1 a. m. Sunday, June 19, Tfll, N.
