Charles K. Hamilton, the daring avia tor and the most sensational aerial per former in America, arrived in Sacra mento yesterday afternoon with two aeroplanes, one a 60-horse power ma chine and the other a 115-* horse power. "The conditions here for making flights are perfect," said Hamilton last night, "and I think I can give you something in the way of new records that will be worth telegraphing and cabling around the world." Hamilton came back with an offer to Ing of the executive committee of the Fiesta of the Dawn of Gold last night when the subject of night flights was brought up following a suggestion that some entirely original feature in the way of aviation would be very accept able to the fiesta commltee. Hamilton came back with a offer to make flights at night. His proposition is to race with a fast automobile ten times around the track at Agricultural park, keeping his biplane about twenty live feet above the ground and with a searchlight trained on it. He agrees that in the final Jap he will frhoot ahead of the auto, and dropping to the ground make a sensational finish just ahead of the busz car in front of the grandstand. Hamilton says these night Mights have, never been attempted on uccuunt of the danger attached, with the exception of a trial flight which he made at Nashville, Term., for the UnitPd States government and (OP which he received a handsome diamond studded medal. Those (lights will be made every night during the fiesta, beginning with Saturday night, September 3. The daily exhibitions will begin Monday morning at 10 o'clock, according to the original contract between Hamilton and the fleatfl committee. The exhibitions at night will prove one of the most thrill ing and Rensational stunts ever pulled off and will undoubtedly attract thou sands of spectators to the fair grounds on each occasion. The flights will take plaoa nt 8 p. m., immediately preceding the big fireworks exhibition. WRIGHTS WILL FLY NEW MODEL AT HARVARD MEET Aviators Assembled for Nine-Day Contest Which Promises to Set New Records BOSTON, Sept. 2.—A1l the bustle and activity °f an aeroplane factory were apparent early today on the Harvard aviation field at Atlantic, where the nine days' aeroplane contests of the first Harvard-Boston aero meet will begin tomorrow. Graham White and A. V. Roe of England, the Wright brothers, Glenn H. Curtiss, Clifford B. Harmon, Augustus Post and other aviators are present. Interest is mani fested in the showing of the Wright and Curtiss types of machines. It is believed tho Wrights have a surprise in store for the aviators of the world, as well as for the spectators at Atlan tic In the new model biplane, which Brooklns will use tomorrow. Secret flights have been made, and it is claimed Wilbur Wright is elated at the performances, and It Is not im probable that he will be seen in the chassis himself before the meet is over, contending against Mr. Curtiss, who has declared that he will make his last flights aloft at the Boston meet. AUGUSTUS POST DISCARDS AUTOMOBILE FOR BIPLANE Unlucky with Airship, Friends Say Whiskers Interfere NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Augustus Post, haying failed to find sufficient excitement In automobiling or balloon ing, has taken to the air with a Curtiss biplane, or at least he has endeavored to take to the air several times, but so far about all that he has accom plished has been to wreck several ma chines. Post has gained fame as a driver of autos and as a daring balloonist, but it can hardly be said that he is quali fied as a pilot of heavier than uir craft. The fact that he is the only aviator to wear a beard has caused his friends to assert that the only reason he fails to leave Mother J3arth when he sets the propellers of his machine going is because of the whiskers. Poßt declares that he will finally learn to soar, and when he does his teachers expect some wonderful flights, as he Is known to be a most enthu siastic pupil and deeply interested in man's effort to conquer the air. He has thrilled his watchers several times by attempting flights while other aviators feared to ascend, and on one occasion hie machine "ran away," smashing fences, posts and finally (adding in a heap at Sheepshead Bay race track.

CENSUS REVEALS POPULATION LOSS Federal Returns Show Great De cline in Country's Average Rate of Growth WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Startling conclusions spring from an examina tion of the returns of the census of 1910, as far as the returns have come in, when compared with statistics of national growth in former decades. The coming race suicide casts its shadow before, for the natural increase of the native-born American is falling off to an alarming extent and another dec ade, at this rate, would put us in the class with France, whose decreasing population has been the burning ques tion with the government there. In spite of all our natural resources and all the national and state aid to en courage an increase keeping step with former years, the signs point to a drop ring- away of 50 per cent in internal increase of population from the records of former decades. The increase of our whole population, including Immigrants, from 1820 to 1000 was an average of 28 per cent for each decade, varying from 35 per cent in 1850-1860 to 23 per cent in 1890-1900. The average increase, exclusive of im migrants during that period, was about 21 per cent. In the decade of 1890 --1900 this increase was a trifle over 20 per cent, there being about 58,000,000 Inhabitants other than immigrants in the former and about 72,000.000 in the latter census. There was thus an in ternal increase of about 14,000,000 peo ple. IMMIGRANTS CAUSE GAIN Now the best experts, Including those In the census office, place the total that will be shown by the census of 1910 at 90,000,000. But from this must be deducted the extraordinary influx of immigrants in the past ten years which, according to the returns of the bureau of immigration up to the last month, show that within a few thou sand of 9,000,000 have come in since 1900. As the total rtoss population of 1900 was 76,000.000, this moans that the es timates place the increase at 14,000, --000. Deducting from this 9,000.000 im migrants, there remains only 5,000.000 natural Increase of Americans from 1900 to 1910, as against 14,000,000 be tween the years 1890 and 1900, which Is about 6 per cent natural Increase, as aurninst that of the former decade of 1890-1900. which is 21 per cent. In addition to this is to be consid ered the marvelous growth of the cities so far reported. Not to mention the smaller ones, a score of those of more than 50,000 show an increase running well over r.o per cent. Atlanta has 72 per cent, East St. Louis 97 per rent, Akron 62 per cent while Detroit forges up with 63 per cent. The other smaller titles will average) well up to 50 per cent. Now, as about 40 per cent of our pop ulation Is city dwelling, this means that the urban population will show an increase of at least 45 per cent, which In itself would cover not only the es timated increase of 14,000,000, Including immigrants, but leave a great many thousands to be drawn from some other source. That source is the country, as distinguished from the city. RURAL DISTRICTS DKCRKANK The returns from the rural districts so far are meager, outside Oklahoma and Texas, but they show, gave In those two states where certain local conditions account for an Increase, a positive falling off from 1900. In Wlrt county, I Virginia, the lent rural return 1 lie census office. there was a decrease of 11 per cent. Otiier country districts have so far shown but little better. The only con clusions to be drawn from these fig ures are: First, that our home Increase of pop ulation is rapidly falling; second, that the cities are not only absorbing the immigrant population, but are drawing heavily from tho rural districts; third, that at the present rapid decline In In ternal increase it will be but another decade before, except wth the aid of immigration, we will show a positive dec-line in population. Of course, it is barely possible that the estimate of 90,000,000 may prove incorrect and that our population may show up 100,000,000. But the calcula tions have been scientifically made and returns so far have borne out the ex perts. Personal Mention William H.

HISTORIC ESTATE TO BE SCATTERED Property of House of Russell in England Is Doomed to Auction Sale LONDON, Sept. 2.—Arnold White, writing in the Daily Express, says: When the Duke of Bedford sold the Thorney estate to the tenants, the sub stitution of commercialism for personal relations that had existed for centuries between the owners and cultivators of the soil turned out badly for the poor est men. Since the Thorney estate was sold rents of cottages have been raised on strictly commercial conditions. Cot tagers are paying in some instances double and treble the rent under the commercial system that was exacted under the kindlier practice of the feudal tradition. Whether the coun try has gained by the transfer of own ership is a matter of evidence which Socialist politicians of the great towns may yet be called on to take into ac count. The Tavistoek properties in Devon shire, which give a courtesy title to the heir of the House of Russell, are also to be sold. The breakup of a large patriarchal estate raises all sorts of interesting points well worth the con sideration of land "reformers," who are apt to mistake reform for destruc tion, to confuse independence with rudeness, and to combine valor with ignorance. MNASTRV SENI»S PETITION A few weeks ago the whole of the tenantry on the Bedford estates in Devonshire, numbering between 700 and 800 heads of families, sent a peti tion to the duke asking him to recon sider his intention of putting his es tates on the market. The duke's answer was much to the point. He regretted the severance of ties which had existed for centuries, but the char acter of recent legislation rendered the ownership of land on a large scale im pmcti cable. The sale of the Tavistock estates accordingly has now been decided on and will be carried out. Among the many interesting points affecting the community that come up for decision is the question of water. Hitherto the water supply has been in the hands of the duke and managed by | his agents in the general interest, just as the government of Egypt manages the irrigation of the Nile valley, not in the interests ut powerful pusilas or wealthy cultivators, but in the general interests of the whole community, pashas and fellaheen alike. When the sale of the Tavistock estates is accomplished the urban council must either acquire their water supply or submit to the rates, tariffs and regulations of a water com pany, the motive force of which is not the wise distribution of watur in the general interest, but to get the great est possible profits in the shortest pos sible time. M 'lUMM.IIOI si;s AT AUCTION The urban council, as local authority, will also be compelled to buy various buildings which are now occupied in the public interest at a nominal rent. There arc, for instance, three schools and masters' houses at Tavistock let to the county council by the blood sucking duke at the jent of $5 a year. These schools and residences must now be bought at auction at the market price. Over this transaction the peo ple who stand to lope as the result of Lloyd Georgian legislation, based on Socialistic fallacies, will not be the Duke of Bedford, but the smaller men fn \, hose Interests Socialistic legisla tion is ostensibly passed. The smaller the mi n ttie greater the sufferings that will be inflicted by the superstition of pure commercialism for ownership by a great historic house.

Among these \vt;re some of the largest and most modem hotels, equipped In magnificent style. Tho sharp competition existing; between , these establishments, th* heavily in. reused cost in maintaining them, and the generally unfavorabla economic conditions are Riven as the chief causal of these failures. The yueata who come for a cure by means of the well-known mineral waters havu not increased in number, nor hag their expenditure of money counterbalanced the Increased number of hotels and rMteVMtnta and the enhanced costa in taxen, fciod and materials, wages, etc. The city having made heavy outlay* for public Improvements, and projecting: additional onea, to attract t< ■ visitors, has ordained a general tax ac cording to which even tourists who do not u.s.? the waters must now pay if they extend their stay beyond two il,i\s.
