siastic Aviation Fan,
Dayton, O.. June 3.—In spite of the
recent European records made by
Verdrines and other aviators in the
Paris-Madrid and Paris-Rome races
Orville Wright, America’s greatest
birdman and aeroplane inventor, said
today that America is in no danger
of losing her leadership in world avia
tion.
‘Europeans are copying us more
and more every year,” he s-aid.
“Didn’t we just get a decision m
the French courts that says so? But
I will tell you more about that after
a while.’’
“I’ll adiiiit one thing, Americans are
not the enthusiastic patrons of air
sports that the French are. We have
the men, we have the machines, but
contests, flights of endurance, great
aviation meets cost money, not only
to the projectors, but to us the}' cost
us more in real cash than the general
public would believe.
“That is where the sport in this
country !s weak. Not that the ab
sence of This patronage hinders the
business-like development of the aero
plane in its mechanical details, ,I do
not believe it hinders us. But prizes
for real eflHciency and endurance,
rather than for dare devil feats,
would encourage our aviators to work
for subscantial improvements in ap
paratus and practise rather than for
aviation feld tricks.
"Mr. Hearst’s prize offer of $50,000
for a coast to coast flight will mean
a great advancement in long listance
flying in this country, though the
prize must be augmented before any
.iviator can go after it as a matter
of business. Nothing is better for
the development of aviation than long
distance test-s, when the mark is not
sec too far out of reach. Remember
this latest European flight we read
so much about this week was 1,300
miles, the longest ever made on the
continent. The coast to coast flight
would be somewhere between three
thousand and four thousand miles,
even If the contestants did not get far
off their course. ,
“That race would be a good thing.
If Mr. Hear St keeps the offer up long
enough for us to improve our ma
chines for maximYim distance flying
we will enter. As I said, even with
$50,000 prize money, it is not a good
business proposition, and aviation is
a business in America now. Our-expen-
ses in preparing for such a race
would be fully $25,000 and it would
probably require two or more ma
chines to finish. One machine is sel
dom suflicient for a long race. They
all used more than one, I believe,
in the Paris to Rome flight.”

Houston, Texas. Tune 3.—With the
earliest streaks, ot dawn. General
Mills’ brigade of 4,500 regulars broke
camp at South Houston this morning
and took the road for League City,
14 moles distant. When the command
left Camp only five men were unable
to march. Upon arrival at League
City the command will be divided,
two armies being created, one the
reds, under command of General
Mills,, and the other the blues, un
der the command of Colonel John V.
White, and these men will be pitted
against each other in extensive man
euvers. The first of the series ot
sham battles is scheduled to be
fought late today.
General Mills said today that the
conduct of the men had been excel
lent during the march. Exceptionally
hot weather was encountered during
the third and fourth days, he said,
but the men kept in good spirits. He
denied that there was any dissatisfac
tion among the men because they had
had to march so far on hot days 'and
declared that from his personal obser
vation he was convinced that there
was no foundation for published re
ports to that effect.

Stockholm; Sweden, June 3.—The
second division of the United States
Atlantic fleet, composed of the battle

here. My husband kidnapped them in
London. He took my dear little daugh
ters away from me.”
Mrs. Breckenrige added that she
went to London last October.
“I had been staying in South Or
ange.” she explained with an attempt
at gaiety. “I intended making my per
manent home in England.”
Why did your husband take the
children from you?” asked the inspec
tor. ‘ „ t.
“Please, please don’t ask me, she
pleaded, beginning to weep. “I don’t
want to enter into a discussion of
this affair.”
She bent her head to hide her tears
and showed the inspector the clothing
of her children. Each article of apparel
was wrapped in tissue paper with ten
der care. .
“I think Mrs. Breckenridge would
have broken down completely if there
had been any more of the little ones
clothing,” remarked Mrs. Hrecken-
ridge’s sister who met her at the pier.
As soon as the baggage Inspection
was concluded Mrs. Armstrong and
three young men said to be brothers,
escorted Mrs. Breckenridge to a car
riage and drove away. They went di

the air. Here the party paused and
listened to speeches by Senor Ma
dero and Governor Carranza. Senor
Madero spoke of the freedom which
characterized his entrance to Mexico
and figuratively referred to the gen

When Senor Madero reached the
municipal building he was escorted to
a balcony where the only untoward
incident of the day occurred.
Senor Madero was being introduced
in a long and flowery speech by one
of the town’s youngest orators, Man
uel Lopez, who for some unexplained
reason took occasion to denounce
Benito Juarez as an African robber
who had separated church and state.
Senor Madero moved toward j'oung
Ijopez. A dozen hands quickly seized
the young man and shoved him
through the door. The crowd applaud
ed. He was immediately imprisoned.
Senor Madero then spoke and de
fended Juarez after which he turned
to a discussion of the principles
which the revolution had fostered.
Senor Madero and party left on a

Chief Executive, Backed by
Attorney General Wicker-
sham Will Fight All Efiorts
^Looking in Thai Direction
As Outlined by Judge Gary,
The Admmistration Sees N,
Need of Amendment — Has
AmpU Authority to Handle
the Big Trusts—Dissolution
of Company,
Washington, June 3.—President
Taft and Attorney General Wicker-
sham will set their faces against any
attempt to amend the Sherman anti
trust law along the lines suggested by
Judge Gary in his testimony before the
Stanley committee yesterday.
In the view of the administration,
the Sherman law needs no amending.
Here is the policy of the administra
tion, which has been formulated after
a careful consideration of the supreme
court decision in the Standard Oil aoi
tobacco trust decision.
The international News Service cor
respondent is authorized to make this
statement as presenting the official
view of the department of justice,
which lias the full indo^rsement of
President Taft.
In consequence of these two big de
cisions, the attorney general regards
himself as perfectly equipped now to
enforce the Sherman anti-trust law
against all and every offender against
the law in the nation.
As Attorney General W’ickersham
interprets the decision in the tobacco
case—and this is most important, since
if is contrary to the general view that
has been taken—the circuit court for
the southern district of New Y"ork has
had the case remanded back to it, not
for the purpose of devising a means
by which the American Tobacco Com
pany may continue business but solely
to arrive at the most pust and expedi
tious manner in which the company
shall be dissolved.
Dissolution is what the Buprem^
court ordered—in the view of the at
torney general—for the Standard Oil
Company, as well as for the tobacco
trust. There is no other way out, as Mr.
Wickersham reads the decision.
And not only is this the view of the
attorney general, but officials of the
department of justice are learning
from the officials of the big trusts
and their attorneys that the decisions
are similarly regarded and interpret
ed in the offices of the corporations
most directly concerned.
Meat Packers Want Hearing.
Chicago, June 3.—J. Ogden Armour,
and other meat packers charged with
conspiracy in restraint of trade, filed
today in the United States district
court here written arguments citing
the recent oil and tobacco decisions
as grounds for a re-hearing on a mo
tion to quash the indictments in the
meat cases. According to the briefs,
the new construction which the federal
supreme court has given to the Sher
man anti-trust law makes that statute
too indefinite for enforcement In a
criminal prosecution and, even if the
contrary were true, has rendered the
Indictments against the meat packers
wholly insufficient.
Proceed with Dissolution.
Washington, June 3.—The mandate
of the supreme court to the circuit
court at St. Louis to put the decree
of dissolution of the Standard Oil
Comnany into effect was issued, today.
This is the final action of the su
preme court under its famous decis
ion upholding the dissolution decree
of the lower court.
“It Is now here ordered, and ad
judged and decreed by this court,” says
the mandate, "that the decree of the
said circuit court in this cause be
modified as indicated in the opinion
of this country and, as so modified, be
and the same ts hereby
hereby affirmed, the said circuit court
to retain jurisdiction to the extent
necessary to compl cmpliancoiomLbr.l

The mandate concludes:
“You therefore are hereby com
manded that such further proceedings
be had in such cause, in conformity
with the opinion and decree of this
court as according to right and justice,
and the law of the United States,
ought to be had, the said appeal not
withstanding.”
