Washington, July 31 Orville Wright-
traveled 47.431 miles an hour in his
flight vesterdav in returning from the

which offer the open space and even
ness desirable in a training field for
the flying machine, m As soon as this
location is finally determined upon
the Wright machine will be taken
there, the shed will be erected , for Its
housing and experiments will begin.
Orville Wright's great flight last
evening has made a deep impression
on the army and navy officials. They
contend that the accomplishment of
the cross-country flight demonstrated
the availability of the aeroplane for
use in warfare.
"The great advantage of an aero-j
plane over a balloon for use in war-,
fare is that it can fly low over a rough
country," said WUlbur Wright today,
"thus having objects on the ground in
plain view. Orville demonstrated this
yesterday. The speed at which he
was traveling, with the small exposed
surface of the aeroplane would have
made him practically safe from the
fire of the enemy."
A. M. Herring the Hammendsport,
N. Y., inventor who is under contract
to furnish an aeroplane to the Govern
ment, has written to General Allen,
chief signal officer, that he wilLnot be
able to deliver -the machine until Sep
tember 1st. His contract time expired
today. The signal office officials are
opposed to any further extension of
time to Mr. Herring and unless some
good reason is advanced for changing
their present attitude, will so inform

AT PANACEA SPRINGS
Delightful Resort Attracting
Guests Facilities are Splendid.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
Panacea (Springs, N. C, July 31.
There is probably no resort in this
State or Virginia, which is attracting

large crowas, ana giving as muci
pleasure -and benefit to her guests as
Panacea Springs. The Hotel Autoinor
biles bring guests from Littleton after
every train, and many private autos
come every day from Virginia and Car
olina towns.
The last large party was from
Greenville, and the cars were driven
by their owners, Messrs. Wlhite, Gre
gory, and Wooten, bringing their wives
and a large party of young people.
The . distance of nearly 90 miles was
made quite satisfactorily without a
single mishap.
Other recent automobile parties ara
from Henderson, Roanoke Rapids,
Weldon and Emporia.
The capitol-to-capitol route is attrac
ting - much attention throughout this
section, and all look forward to . its
completion when Panacea Springs will
be the principal stop-over ibetween
Washington and Raleigh and Plne
hurst. Surely a more attractive place
than "Panacea" could not be found for
the tourists between the North and
Pinehurst.
While buggy, and horseback riding
are popular with guests; yet, the auto
mobiles of the Panacea Auto Transit
Company are hourly engaged for spe
cial parties who delight in the good
road between Panacea Springs and
Littleton and the surrounding -country.
The past week has been one qf un
usual enjoyment here. There hava
been three dances attended by, not
only the "Panacea" guests, but by
many young people Irom Littleton.
The dancing hall is spacious and
breezy, and the music delightful.

"Since the Wilson bill was passed,"
replied Mr. Underwood, "there has
been a revolution in the production of
iron and steel. What was a low rate
when the Wilson bill was passed, is a
high rate today."
Mr. Underwood inquired why, when
the President . was urging a revision of
the tariff downward, he did not advise
revising the woolen schedule down

clause.
Wood pulp and print paper formed
the schedule of a lengthy speech by
Mr. Mann, of Illinois. His announce

by the conferees in their products he
would vote against the conference Re

secured on these notes.

(Special Star Correspondence.)
Raleigh, N. C, July 31. A pardon,
conditioned on good behavior, is
granted by Governor Kitchin for Jes
sie Mason sentenced in June 1905 to
six years in the State's prison for
highway robbery in New Hanover
county. The pardon is because the
sentence had been made six years on
the theory that Mason was the leader.
Developments seem to have shown
that he was not. i
Two other boys were given only 12
months, hence the pardon after three
years' service. Governor Kitchin
makes the following statement as to
the pardon: ,
"Prisoner and two others were con
victed of highway robbery. The other
boys were sentenced 'to 12 months im
prisonment each. "Prisoner being old
er than the others, was sentenced for
six years op the theory that he was
the leader. The nrosecutine witness
asks for his pardos and writes that
he does not think the prisoner was
the leader. The solicitor also thinks
one of the other boys was stronger
minded than prisoner. The judge and
the attorney who aided the solicitor
and 11 of the jurymen (the other be
ing dead) recommended pardon. His
record in prison is good, having been
there for over four years. I there
fore pardon the young man on condi
tion that he remain law abiding and
of good behavior."

With Bussey and Howard the oppos
ing pitchers and handicaped by what'
the bugs are confident was the rank
est umpiring seen here this season,
Wilmington made it three straights by
again closing the door upon the heels
of Goldsboro by the score of four to
nothing yesterday afternoon.
Brodie was put out of the game in
the fourth inning for a righteous pro
FIJRG
test against a decision calling Ashton
out at thev home plate, which would- -have
made the score five to nothing. '
Tne nitting of Nichols and the back
stop work of Kite divided honors with
Howard's phenomenal work on the
slab.
tBy winning the game yesterday,
Wilmington made it five out of six
during the week and the Sailors now
find themselves heading the League
on ia winning stride with indications
that they will continue to lead to the
end of the season, even with the han
dicap of having Ross and Smith tem
porarily out of the game, yesterday's
exhibition was a great one and was
Wilmington's from start, though both
teams played rather ragged at tfces.
Howard was a tower of strength in
the box, though, and the fans at all
times felt safe. In appreciation of the
victory a handsome purse was raised
in the grandstand land presented to
Messrs. Howard and'Kite and the oth
er players on the team.
The first looked billious after Smith
was out second to first. Murphy hit
safely past short; Steinbach hit to
third and was safe on fielder's choice,
Murphy going to third on Nichols' er-
ror, but Steinbach was out attempting
second and Crockett was out second
to first. Nichols started the first for
Wilmington with one -of his several
bingles over second, but after Guer
rant fouled to catcher and Brodie was
flying to short, Nichols was out at
tempting second.
Goldsboro's second was a fly to left
by Doak, centre for Gettig and Pritch
ard, short to first. Wilmington, Levy
out at first unassisted, while Sharp
fanned and Jayes flew to short.
In the third after Fulton flew to ,
short, Bussey singled to Jayes terri
tory but Smith fanned and Murphy
flew to centre. For Wilmington Kite
clouted one to centre, but was forced
by Ashton at second; Howard flew to
