U. 3. Army Flight on
{ Technicality.
By -JOHN GOLDSTROM,
l Hivernal Servie?.
k Unless the French aerial federa
Ftlon is willing to accept the word of
*he American army air service it Is
JU-ely that the United States will of
ficially lose the endurance record of
1* hours 18 minutes 80 seconds
made recently by Lieutenants Mac
reedy and Kelly.
Their flight over San Diego did not
comply with technical rules govern
ing auch records, although it was
verified officially by the air service.
While the flight of Lieutenants Bos
?outrot and Drouhln over Le Bourget
did. The French flyers remained off
the ground 1 hour 4 minutes tmd 23
?seconde less than the Americans'
time, but they claim the record be
csuae of their full compliance with
International rules.
International rules governing
tr?ala for flight records require
y*s,t officials of the international
body be present and that observa
tion and timing must bs done by
them. The French aviators last
Sunday flew under these condi
tions, keeping in constant alght of
observers In the Eiffel Tower and
timers on Le Bourget airdrome.
Although most of the French air
officiala do not doubt the American
record, one of the aviators. Bos?
sou trot, was quoted as having said
he could not understand how they
could have remained ?up for so long
on the amount of fuel carried. He
is familiar with the early Liberty
motor.
Thla la explained by the fact
that gasoline consumption of the
Liberty motor haa been cut tn half
since ths war. It formerly con
sumed forty gallona per hour and
now uses but twenty gallons in
the same time.

Knighthood, Wonder
Film, Says Actress
Lauding Miss Davies
" 'When Knighthood Wa* in Flower' is a wonderful pro
duction?the greatest I have ever seen on the screen?and I
do not know of any actress who could play the part of Mary
Tudor better than Marion Daviee," said Julia Arthur, after
witnessing at the -Criterion in New York, this Cosmopolitan
film which opens at the Columbia Sunday.
"I ?un personally proud of the pro-1
ductlon of this picture." continued
Mlaa Arthur, "because I have always
believed that America produces the
world's best pictures, and 'When
Knighthood Was in Flower' proves
my theory. The difficulties of such
a production must have been tre
mendous, but they have been over
come In a manner thoroughly admir
able.
Every Player In Character.
The atmosphere of the picture Is
positively Shakespearean, and the
cast is wonderful. Every player was
strictly in character, and the en
sembles were perfectly composed a*lc?
tures.
"I was especially pleased to note
the number of legitimate actors ap
pearing In this picture. Stage and
screen are getting In closer touch, to
their mutual benefit. The basis of
all mimetic art Is pantomime, aa
practiced In motion pictures. At the
same time the screen needs su? h
characterisations sa Lyn Hardlng's
King Henry VIII, which Is even more
effective in this picture than in
Shakespeare's play.
"The musical score gives audible
expression to the emotions of the
players aa pictured on the screen,
and all the arts of the theater are
harmonized in this splendid produc
tion. I cannot go too far In express
ing my approval and admiration of
'When Knighthood Was in Flower.' "
Olves Exacting Fraise.
This opinion from one of the great
est actresses on the American stage
is like praise from the feminine
equivalent ot "8ir Hubert." Miss
Arthur began her career under the
famous old actor-manager, Daniel
Bandman, and played ail the Shakes
pearean heroines while still in
her 'teens, appearing principally on
the Western circuits.
Miss Arthur is a producer as well
as an actress, hence qualified to
Judge the fine points of a production
like "When Knighthood Was In
Flower." Five years ago she pro
duced "Seramonda," the poetic drama
published under the title, "Red Wine
of Roussillon."

E Street Resident Declares
Tanlac Has Won Her
Lifelong Gratitude.
Mrs. E. Oordon. of 116 E street
southeast, is now numbered with
the many Washington reeldents
who have realised the wonderful
merits of Tanlac. In relating ber
experience Mrs. Gordon said:
"Tanlac has been such a great
blessing to me that it has won
my life-long praise. My health
had been so wretched for a year
or more that I was Just dragging
myself around. I could neither
eat or sleep to do much good and
had a world of, trouble with in
digestion. Food* Just seemed to
lump up right In the pit of my
stomach and He there in a burn
ing mass. I had no strength or
energy and my housework would
tire me almost to exhaustion.
"Well, I Just kept on growing
worse until I was Induced by
the statements I saw In the
papers to try Tanlac. The first
bottle helped me so much that
I continued to take the medicine
until now I am feeling like my
self again. I eat what I want,
sleep fine every night, and haven't
a complaint of any kind. I Just
wish I could tell everybody what
a grand medicine Tanlac ie."
Tanlac is sold In Washington
by Peoples Drug Stores and all
leading druggists.

Col. Caracristi Attack? Henry
Lane Wilson in Letter to
Senator Sheppard.
RICHMOND, P?.f Oct. 20.?The
origin of the difficulties between
Col. Charles F. Z. Csracrista,
for six years "a man without a
country," who is now about to re
turn from Venezuela and resume
his citizenship status, and certain
federal and state officials in
Texas was disclosed today.
Exhibits Publie.
The cat waa let out of the bag
when Caracristls ?representative
here permitted the publication of
certain exhibits in the case, among
them a letter written from Car
acas by Colonel Caracristi, under
date of June 7, 1(17, to Senator
Morris Sheppard, of Texas. This
letter te.la the story of the begin
ning of the war between Cara
cristi and the political Interests
Involved. It reads as follows:
"To the Hon. Morris Sheppard,
_'. 8. Senate Chamber,
Washington, D. C.
"My Dear Senator: I wlah to
thank you moat heartily for your
recent letter in re my passport
and also the lnclosure from the
White House.
"During Madero's time tn Mexico
I had a personal, purely personal,
difference with the representative
of our government, Henry Lan.j
Wilson, who devoted most of hfs
time there to his own pleasure?.
This and my quarrel with the so
??.led 'American ?Colony Society,"
because of the fact that they Im
porte*! arms and ammunition Into
Mexico that had been discard?*] by
the U. 8. Government and sold
them to our countrymen at a large
profit (which fact I published in
the American press) resulted In
Wilson and Consul Garrett of
Nuevo Laredo making statements
to the Department of Stute which
I desire to denounce as false.
Someone in the Department seems
to have kept up a conspiracy
against me ever since.
| "Senator Swanson. who has known
!ms for over thlrtv vears a am a V.r
| glnlan by birth?, wrote to the Depart
I ment of State asking for an explana
tion of the reason why my passport
?was refused and failed to obtain a
] satisfactory reply, and I hardly
.think they will do any more for you
?unless the matter is placed before
?our great President and he directs
that a full Investigation he made of
. my case, and an opportunity be
, given me to reply, as Is my consti
tutional right.
Re|?lv-?_".._*lvc.
"My attorney In Washington, Capt.
John G. Capers. ex-United Sutes
commissioner of internal revenue,
Evan? building, has likewise been
unable to obtain a reasonable state
ment from the department, and the
reply was evasive and insinuating
'rather than frank and honest. I
? feel that I am the victim of a con
? splracy within the department and
all I wish Is the fullest ventilation
of my case without resorting to
! press, publicity, aa advised by my
I friends.
"In some correspondence that I
received through a personal r-onncc
I tion it was made clear that the d?s
partment considered me aa one of
those miserable creatures who make
a living from Latin-American revo
lutions, and that my knowledge of
International law and usages, and
my military training were and are
for sale to the highest bidder. Such
a statement Is the base invention of
irresponsible Intriguers, who do not
seem to know thst I have a large
personal income In addition to my
legitimate profeerion.
"It Is quite true that I wrote the
Madera platform (see press dispatch
es, March 6, 1911), and that my name
appears In the introduction. Also It
la quite true that I was the confi
dential diplomatic adviser of Genera
Huerta. But In both cases I acted
Just as Robert Lansing and his fath
er-in-law, ex-Secretary Foster, acted
In behalf of the Dies government I
happen to know this from the records
of the Mexican embassy at Waah
lngton and from the files In the of
fice of the minister of foreign rela
tions In Mexico.. I had close busi
ness relations with the Diaz gov
ernment and am heavily Interested in
Mexico.
"I never performed an Illegal act
In my Ufe.
"Something more: the American
Government needs my good offices
here and In Colombia at this very
moment, as I have personal influ:
enee In both countrlea. I am always
ready to do anything I can for my
country.
"I may not agres at times with the
policy of this, that or the other ad
ministration, but that is ths right of
every man In a republic.
"I did not agree with the Presi
dent's Mexican policy nor with the
delay In getting ready to Invade the
land of those who murdered our
people. But my opposition waa both
honest and within the law.
"I have been a writer on Inter
national matters for many years and
have accesa to ths big American
dailies. Theae fscts are not crimes.
Certainly ths Department of State
doea not wish to suppress the ex
pression of political opinione so long
as they are born of honest Intelli
gence.
"I cannot comprehend why ths De
partment of State desires to force me
to accept citizenship under a foreign
flag in order that I may have ?
passport to enable me to travel tn
our-sult of my legUiannte hustfaess.

JUDGE BUCKS
BOTH EYES OF
WIFE BEATER
Delivers Justice With Two Fists
to Man Who Belabored
Spouse.
WTLKE8BARR?, Pa.. Oct. M.?
Alderman Edward Burke, of Pitts
ton today tried out a novel method*
of disposing Justice to wife-beaters.
and It worked perfectly. In brief
It waa a two-fisted affair?a right
?mash to the face followed up by
a left Jab to the Jaw.
Wife beating has become so com
mon an Indoor sport in the town,
so far as the court was concerned
that Aldermen Burke Just "blew
up" when Anthony Asakas was
brought before him for blackening
hla wife's eye.
Before Mrs. Asakas could flnlst^
her story the alderman shouted
"wait a minute. I am getting tired
of this and I am going to see how
he likes It."
Over the top of his desk he went,
alighting in front of the dumfound
ed Asakas. In an Instant the alder
mna had sent a crunching right
against th? defendant's eyer-Down
he went In a heap.
Up again he came at the orders
of the Judge and down again he
went with a left to the Jaw. A
fusillade of rlghu and lefts to the
face followed until both of Asakas'
eyes began to swell.
Asakas pleaded with Alderman
Burke to stop, promising that he
would not lay a band - on his wife
again.
Th? punishment stopped and
Asakas, with both leyes almost shut,
was permitted to depart with hia
?rife after paying a $10 fine
Alderman B?rge later announced
that he was determined to rid hla
district of the "cave man stuff" by
"punching the feces of all wlfc
beateis that come before him.
