NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. TUESDAY, JITSU 7. 1910.
RICES IN A MERE TRAIN
Hamilton Looks Over Route Be
tween Here and Philadelphia.
CONFIDENT OF HIS SUCCESS
Expects to Make Round Trip
from Van Cortlandt Park
in Five Hours.
Charles K. Hamilton, the summer yellow
bird man who sails and gyrates through
the air in his aeroplane, with convolutions
as eccentric as those of that little song
ster, complacently rode to Philadelphia and
back yesterday in a mere train of car?.
He made the trip on terra firma to look
over the ground along the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks, which he intends to fol
low on his flight from Van Cortlandt Park
to the Quaker City on Saturday.
When he had safely landed back at the
Hotel Astor last night he remarked upon
the uneventful journey of the day, with
perhaps a little feeling of disgust at
the comparatively slow and uninteresting
method of modern travel by rail, but said
he was pretty well satisfied with the look
of things along the line for his aerial trip
"There are come hard places to got
over," he said, "fifteen or twenty mile
stretches without a respectable landing
place, but if the motor holds out I shall go
through on scheduled time. If I have to
make any landings on the way for reasons
unforeseen I won't offer any excuses. It
will only mean that I couldn't do it. and
that (a all."
Mr Hamilton added, however, that it was
his intention to establish a new world's
record for 'cross-country flight, both in
time and distance, and double far enough
on his aerial path before landing within the
limits of Philadelphia to beat Paulhan"*
distance of 117 miles on the first leg of his
flight from London to Manchester.
The aviator was loath to admit that there
was any great danger in making the pro
posed trip by the air route, but he figured
that the parts of the journey where it
might be most uncomfortable to land would
be during the first stage down the- Hudson
River and until he had skimmed over the
buildings of lower Manhattan and the
Pennsylvania terminal and reached the
Jersey meadows and again in passing over
the city of Trenton, where there were
many more buildings to drop on than open
lots. His biplane is not fitted with pon
toons or a, canoe, ro that If things on high
went wrong over the ri\er the chances
would be that his air craft would not float
and he would have to swim for It. That
would he> a distressing situation, he =aid.
The only landing place in Philadelphia
•which appealed to the bird-man wag an
open lot just across the four-mile radius
from the City Hall, and this was selected
to be the resting place before he attempts
the return trip. The lot is some $00 yards
long and fif* l wide, and lies near and par
allel to the railroad tracks. A young
growth of wheat from six to eight Inches
high covers It. The aviator seemed to think
that coming through the wheat would not
be an obstacle.
A special train chartered by "The New
Fork Times" and "The Philadelphia Public
T/edcr" will leave the Pennsylvania station
at Jersey City when Hamilton comes in
sight and endeavor to keep up with him all
the way. It is expected that the round trip
•will be. made in five hours, with a start
from Van Cortlandt park about 8 a. m., ar
riving In Philadelphia about 10:30 o'clock.
The return trip will be started with a view
to reaching- Manhattan again toward the
end of the afternoon.
A schedule of the exact time that the
aviator expects to pass over the various
towns and cities alone the route will be
given out later In the week. Hamilton's
manager said last ni^ht that the time at
the various points could be told with al
most as much accuracy as train time and
that the aviator would fly according to
schedule, barring accident?.
Another tour of inspection •will be made
by Hamilton during- the week to familiarize
himself more thoroughly with the lay of
th» land.
Harry Block, of St. Joseph, Mo., repre
senting the Retail Merchants' Association
of that city, met Hamilton her* last night
•with a view to arranging: a flight from St.
lyouis to st. Joseph, a distance of about
three hundred miles across the state.
INTERCITY AIRSHIP RACE

Washington, June 6.— The Wright brothers
arid Glenn H. Curtiss will be invited to

New York and the national capital, for

the two commercial bodies of this city. Dr.
Alfred F. Zahm, who was chosen secretary
of the joint committee, was authorized to
invite the Wrights and Curtiss to take part

"I hay*» but little acquaintance with the

*PAULHAN'S REPLY TO WRIGHTS.
iy>uis Paulhan. the aviator, through his
manager. Edwin Clean*, filed an answer in
the United State* Circuit Court yesterday
to the snH of Wilbur and Orrflle Wright
for allseed infringement of their patent
right*. to flying machine apparatus.
jlr. Cleary asks the dismissal of the
Wright suit on the ground that the alleged
Invention proved inoperative, and that long
prior to th« al'e«*d a^-ts of Paulhan the

CHINA SEEKS PARLIAMENT
Provincial Delegates to Demand
National Body.
Peking. .Tune 6. — A formal demand will be
made upon the throne on Wednesday for
the immediate convocation of a national
parliament. The authors of the demand
are the delegates to the provincial assem
blies, who have the support of organiza
tions of merchants.
The recently issued imperial decree con
stituting the provincial assemblies set
forth that the way was being paved for a
general legislative body to be summoned
nine years after the first meeting of the
assemblies. To-day's delegates to the pro
vincial assemblies are gathered here with
the avowed purpose of exacting the issu
ance of an Imperial decree summoning a.
national parliament forthwith. The dele
gates have determined not to leave the cap
ital until their memorial is granted. Eight
of their number are pledged to suicide in
the event that Prince Chun, the Regent,
decides to adhere to his original programme.
The merchants are furthering the aims
of the delegates by refusing to pay the
stamp tax until the Regent comes around
to their way of thinking. The presentation
of the memorial is not likely to call forth
an early response. On the contrary. It is
expected that Prince Chun will delay his
reply as long as possible.
It is learned from the leaders of the.
movement that they do not intend to use
drastic irifayiircs because of the fear that
an ant i-dynast(c. revolution would only
perve to bring the armies of foreign pow
ers into China.
Palace spies are watching closely dele
gates who have arrived here from the
Chinese colonies in Australia, the Philip
pines and elsewhere, and who are believed
to represent the revolutionary element
among the Chinese living abroad.

Henry 1,. Stim=on. ilie special federal
prosecutor, received much aid from a Juror,
No. 4. Mr. Leaak, a banker, who owns
stock In the cdmpan>". The counsel had
struggled along all morning In an effort
to show that Heike had knowledge o*f the
contents of tables prepared by Otto Schmel
ter. a clerk which contained the govern
ment and invoice weights of cargoes and
3 column giving the differences, claimed by
the government as being the result of the
fraudulent weighing or the Havemeyer &
Elder dorks. He had given up. and Heike
was ahonr to leave the stand when Mr.
Leask asked:
"Why did you direct that supplemental
reports of these statements should be made
when you were not acquainted with their
contents?'"
Heike had paid he had ordered the sup
plemental reports. He answered Mr. Leask
that he knew slightly what was in them,
but not minutely. Mr. Stimson then pounced
upon the witness. He, said:
"Nov. you say you knew what the origi
nals • • tined Is that not true?"
Knew What Originals Contained.
"Well, ye.--- that is. Mr. Havemev«>r want
ed them so."
"But Schmeiter gave you the statements
each month. What did he do it for"" asked
Mr. Stimson
'They wr» for Mr. Havemeyer. When I

I pave 1t to him The weight entries sever
bothered me— only the system of registering
the total? Any entry- that didn't have a

at all."
John B. Stanch of counsel for Heike.
came to the rescue. He suggested to the
witness that ho ordered the supplementary
reports for the ra-* sugar department,
which Heike agreed with.
Mr. Dormer. when called, paid that Heike's
duties were secretarial. The letters he
wot » were In line with his work. He

Two venerable documents, one a grant by
George TIT made in 1734 to th» common
people of the old town of Jamaica, giving
them the right of assembly and the control
of lands, and the other the original ;
charter of the Long Island Railroad, figure
in one of the mo« Interesting fights ever
waged by a county In this state to protect
Its highways from confiscation by a rail
road.
They were produced before Judgt >
Humphrey, in the Queens County Court. In '
Long Island City, yesterday, where the rail- :
road is being tried on an indictment charg
ing the road with maintaining a nuisance >
by the closing of a public highway. The \
fight Is over the closing of old Hamilton
Street in Hollis. The Long Island Railroad \
produced the charter granted by the state j
in 1834. which Its attorneys say Is so sweep- |
ing In its character as to virtually give it |
the right of closing public streets.
Trouble b*trveen the railroad and resi
dents of the village of Hollis and Queens. i
In Queens County, began about a year ago
when the railroad bought seven hundred \
acres in that section and laid out what '3 :
known as the Halhan freight yard?. [
Hamilton street ran through a section of ;
the railroad company's purchase, and it t
was promptly Included In the yards In
Justifying the taking of the street the rail
road first set forth the many privileges
granted by the original charter, also the
fact that all the '.and on both sides of the
street for quite a distance had been pur
chased, and furthermore, that since the
opening of the freight yards the- street had
practically fallen into disuse.
On July 26. 1883. the stockholders -■ the
road by legal action obtained an extension
of the original charter of the road, with all
its privileges, for a period of two hundred
and fifty years.
