Louis Bleriot Breaks Record
\u25a0and Wins $5,000
rruc
Concludes Wonderful Flight
at Terrific Speed With
out Accident
}nade the landing jfracefully, but even
though it touched the land lightly it
vas slightly damaged."
By this achievement Bleriot won the
prize of $5,000 offered by the London
Daily Mail for the first flight across
the English channel, and stole a march
on his rivals, Hubert Latham and
\u25a0count de l.anbert, both of whom had
I hoped to make the attempt today.
'JBlerlot described his remarkable flight
1 very modestly.
"I arose at 3 o'clock," he said, "and
'. went to the aeroplane ehed. Finding
everything in order on the trial spin
• I decided to make the flight. The
JFrench torpedo boat destroyer which
was in attendance was signaled, and
*it put out about four miles. Then
I rose In the air and pointed directly
to Dover. After 10 minutes I was
;out of sight of land and had left the
warship well behind. For a few min
utes I could not pee either coast, nor
any boat. I tried to keep at an average
height of 250 feet. 1 might easily
• have gone higher, but .it would have
served no purpose. -This 'was about
the right height, I thought, to clear
the Dover hills In safety.
"The machine dipped toward the
xrater several times. I put on more
'petrol once. I estimate that the pro
pellers were going I.JOO to 1,400 revo
lutions a minute. '-\u25a0
SeesVriendly FJajf
"The first objects I saw were the
ships off the Kngiish coast; then I
observed Deal, and I discovered that
the wind, which was southwest, was
carrying me thither. I veered to the
southward to Dover castle, and then
saw friends flourishing a flag in a
valley suitable for landing. I made
two circles while lessening the speed
and then dived down, but I came in
«-ontact with the ground sooner than I
expected. Both the machine and my
*elf were badly shaken up. -
"A few persons quickly assembled
and I was helped out, as my injured
foot was painful. 1 am exceedingly
jrlad to be hero."
M. Bleriofs friends took him quickly
to the Old Lord Warden hotel.' Mean
while his wife arrived on the destroyer.
Hhe embraced him/ >veeping. but they
were soon sitting #it breakfast, the
< enter of a proud gathering of French
people. '" The mayor and other Dover
officials welcomed M. Bleriot in the
name of the city and nation as the
pioneer of international flight.
The townspeople %st Dover, who for
Hiree weeks have been on the alert
for the signal announcing that one
of the flying men. Nad started, were
caught napping.
Gale Is Blowing
A gale was blowing last night and
the weather forecasts promised a
strong wind and squalls. Hence the
operators of the sirens on the steam
ers, which it had been arranged should
be blown when the flyer started, were
absent from their posts. Only a few
persons received the wireless warn-,
ing of Bleriot's ascent.
M. la Fontaine, a friend of the avia
tor, arrived at the Lord Warden hotel
from Calais at midnight, saying he had
an appointment to meet M. Bleriot at
5 o'clock. The hotel people thought
he was joking.
M. la Fontaine selected as a land
ing place a cup shaped depression, two
miles east of Dover, where the airship
would be sheltered from the wind in
settling. There he pianted the French
flag.
The sailors on the snips in the harbor
were the first to discover that Bleriot
was approaching. They heard the buz
zing of the motor two or three min
utes before they could discern the
aeroplane. Then what looked like a big
white butterfly glided over their heads
as fast as a train of cars -and with
almost as much noise. It reached the
cliff near the gray turrets of ' Dover
castle, swooped around in broad curves
and' disappeared.
It was not long before half the popu
lation of Dover, dressing as they went,
were rushing to the n-ene. Photogra
phers and cinemotographers were crest
fallen because they had missed the
great event for which they had. waited
so long.
City Makes Money
The city officials conceived a happy
thought and wfth bleriot's consent,
raised a tent above the machine and
charged sixpence admission to view It.
The profits from this enterprise will
go to the hospitals and the police
pension fund. The exnibition did a big
business all day.
Parts of the framework of the mon
oplane were splintered on landing.
Every one expressed surprise at its
small sizp. It is no more than 20 feet
across the \u25a0 wings and its weight is
about 400 pounds, the motor being 25
horsepower. In/ the same machine
Blcriot- recently made a cross country
trip of 25 miles from Ktampcs to Or
leans. It is fitted with an airtight
sausage shaped rubber bag, bo that it
would float if it descended to the sea.
Bleriot said, however, that he had
absolute control of the machine
throughout and had no fear that the
motor would fail. Y:ie only difficulty
he experienced was the force of the
wind, which hurt his face and eyes
badly, and the wind eddies, which
twisted his machine about while near
ing the English coast.
Rivals Are Generous
Count de Lambert tame from Calais
by boat to congratulate his rival. A
telegram arrived from Hubert Latham,
who a few. days ago failed in .his at
tempt to cross the channel, saying:
"I hope to follow you soon."*
Bleriot early announced that if La
tham crossed today , he ., would share
the prize with him/ The American
consul at Calais, James B. Milner. who
came here with count ac Lambert, said
that he had left Latham sitting with
his head on his monoplane weeping.
SL- Bleriot returned to Calais on; the
destroyer this afternoon, but will re
cross tomorrow for tht official recep
tion to be tendered* by the Dover mu
nicipality. Afterward Ije; will: go ; ;to
London, where a great demonstration
is being arranged in his'honor.

President Taft Is Insistent
That Hides Go on Free List
Chief Executive Seeks to Protect Leather
Manufacturers From Big Meat Packers
'.WASHINGTON, July 25.— Sunday brought no- cessation of President
Taft'B tariff activities. His conference with house and senate leaders covered
practically the. entire day.
The president admitted frankly to some of his callers today that the
situation was not all that could be desired, but expressed the hope that
another 24 hours would straighten out the tangle and that the report of the
conferees would be presented in the house on Tuesday next. It is also hoped
at the White House that congress may adjourn by the last of the week.
President Taft has not receded in any way from his demand for. free
hides, regarding free hides as underlying the whole principle of downward
revision. . \ .
A compromise duty of 7 cents — a reduction from 15 per cent under exist
ing law— would be of no benefit, according to the president's views.. .Unless
hides are made absolutely free there can be no reduction on boots, shoes
and other manufactured articles of leather. The president, it is said, has
been deeply impressed by the representations that have been made to him
by the leather. interests to the effect that under the protection of the pro
hibitive 15 cents duty the leather and shoe manufacturers are at the mercy
of the four or five big meat packing concerns of the middle west..
y The president, on the 'other hand, It is declared, has not been much
impressed by the arguments of western senators that free hides would be
followed by a demand for free wool.. Hides never were protected until the
enactment of the Dingley law.
, The president's chief concern is as to. hides.'-. The other schedules
apparently are being worked into acceptable shap'c, according to his informa
tion, and once the free hides and reduced leather goods program has been
agreed upon the end of the fight is in view.
President Taft, it is said, docs not suffer the delusion that revision of
the tariff downward is going to bring reduced prices or would be of im
mediate benefit to the ultimate consumer." Instead of a reduction,' it Is
declared, there will be actual increases 'during the coming year on many
of the necessaries of life, Including wearing apparel.
Even the putting of hides on the free list and the accompanying reduc
tion in duty on finished leather products is not expected to work a reduc
tion in the price of boots, shoes, harness or other things manufactured from
leather.
As a matter of fact the president's advices are that hides are rapidly
increasing in prices and that the demand is so great that even the large
Importations expected from Argentina under a free entry clause will not
suffice to keep" the prices at current figures.
An advance of 22 to 25 per cent in woolen goods already has been
announced, despite the fact that no change has been made in the woolen
schedule. This schedule, the president has been told, will not permit of a
reopening at this time. It is a closed incident as. regards the conference.
In discussing the situation with callers today the president explained hl«
theory of the principle of downward revision from a protectionist point of
yew. The ides, is not to reduce- duties to the point of affecting home indus
tries or to admit imports. to what from the republican standpoint would be
unfair competition with home made articles. The president is represented
as regarding downward revision as a means of protecting the people from
monopoly and excessively high prices. '
The president has declared that he believes the just comparison of old
and new tariffs to be one based on the actual domestic consumption of goods
upon which the duty has been lowered. Even if the duty is not lowered
sufficiently to admit of imports upon a large scale the president is said to
feel that in lowering the tariff on articles of general use ana consumption
a great gain has been made.
the word came that Bleriot had reached
England a mighty cheer was sent up.
The news of his triumph spread
quickly and celebrations were held
everywhere. In spite of his injured
leg, Bleriot stole a march on his rivals,
Latham and count de Lambert. The for
mer, deceived by the high winds of the
day before, thought a start would be
impossible, while count de Lambert had
gone to England to pick out a likely,
place to land. It was decided that, -the'
torpedo boats should be at the disposl- :
tion of Latham and the destroyer at
the disposal of Bleriot, should the men
decide to start.
At 3 o'clock Bleriot, -who was deter
mined not to allow the slightest chance
to escape, proceeded to the shed at
Sangatte, and his monoplane was
pushed out. To the handful of people
who had gathered there, tne spectacle
of this man. hobbling on crutches,
dreaming of a flight to England, had
something 1 awe inspiring-, even terrify
ing, in it. Bleriot cast aside his
crutches and took his place In the.
monoplane, on which ne had already
hoisted a red flag to guide the rescuers
in case he should fall.
The monoplane ros* easily and made
two circles above the land. Shortly
Bleriot descended. His motor was run
ning perfectly and he had confirmed
the fact that he had a favoring south
eouthwest breeze. «
The critical moment was at hand.
Anzania, the constructor, set the motor
in. motion. Bleriot 'settled himself
calmly in his seat, . waving farewell,
and at 4:36 the aeroplane rose and sped
seaward.
Fourteen minutes later, flying high
above the water, it was lost in. the
mists hanging over the channel.
The destroyer,' which had been
warned to prepare, steamed swiftly in
pursuit, but the flying man was faster
and soon left it far behind.
Bleriot is one of the oldest and most
popular of aviators In France, and is
the winner of the Osierls prize of $20,
000, in conjunction with Gabriel Voisin,
the aeroplane manufacturer, for their
contributions to the progress of avia
tion. He had been decorated with the
medal of the Legion of Honor yester
day. He is the inventor of a search
light for automobiles and became inter
ested in aviation in 1900. Ma(Sfei||H
Throughout his career Bleriot has
displayed such reckless daring that his
friends predicted he would be killed.
He has had numerous accidents and
broken a dozen machines, but has never
been dismayed by misfortune. He made
his first cross country flight from Tours
to Arthenay, mado a flight of an hour
at Dove and on July 13 made a new
record for cross country rrom Etampes
to Orleans.
After Latham failed in his attempt
to cross the channel Bleriot hurried
to Calais to try his luck, announcing
subsequently that he Intended to make
a cross country flight of 100 kilometers
(62 miles) from Evcreux to Orleans
without a stop.
M." Bleriot is exceedingly cool, and
lias always maintained that a man who
kept his head could not be' seriously
injured.
"In case of accident," he has said,
"I throw myself on one of the wings—
that breaks the :wingAbut it saves! me."
M. Bleriot returned this evening from
Dover aboard the He- was
met by a cheering crowd and was ac
claimed enthusiastically.
"I am . radiantly happy at my '". suc
cess. I am happy alwo oec'ause' l-havc
received the decoration of : the Legion
of Honor." ~ ; . V; : .;;
Latham; who was a disappointed;
spectator of Bleriot'e: departure, later
brought his aeroplane,' but -the increas
ing wind/and a faulty motor, prevented
his making a flight.

Spurs on English Aviators
LONDON. July 5. — Baron de Forest
has offered a prize of. $20,000 to the
first British aeronaut to cross the
channe lin a British built aeroplane
in record time. :^ ' " r> •: *
. The London morning papers publish*
editorials on Blqrlot's feat. A new point
brought out ( >is its striking -appeal to
the; imagination of \u25a0* Englishmen that
Great Britain's insular strength is no
longer unchallenged; that the aero
plane is not a toy. but a possible, ins
trument of warfare: which must be
taken into account by soldiers and
statesmen, and that it was. the one
thing needed to wake up the English
people to the importance of the sci
ence of aviation.
Oroville Wright Praises Bleriot
WASHINGTON, July 25.— 0n the eve
of making an aeroplane flight involving
as great if not greater dangers than
Bleriot risked in crossing the English
channel early today, Orville Wright
expressed great -pleasure when he
learned of the success of the French
man. That it was a personal triumph
tor Bleriot, however, rather than an
indication of an advancement in the
art of flying, was Wright's idea of the
significance of the accomplishment. He
spoke admiringly of Bleriot, saying he
was one of the most daring of all avia
tors. Wright is familiar with the Ble
riot monoplane which, ho said, is -of
the Antoinette type used by Hubert
Latham, but antedates the latter's form
of construction.
The announcement of the success of
the Wright brothers several years ago
stirred the French aeronauts to Orig
inal effort, it is said, and while some
Buggested that, the type of biplane used
by the Wrights should be deevloped' by-
Frenchmen, otherß desired to evolve a
successful heavier than air machine
from a distinctly French idea. The Pe
naud monoplane, therefore, was taken
up, and many of the principles devel
oped - and discovered .by the Wrights
were applied to the French machine It
is said that Bleriot could not with his
monoplane describe- the short circles
which Wright made yesterday.
The Wrights take groat pride in their
own machine and believe that it sur
passes all others.
It is said Orville Wright had ex
pected himself to make the channel
flight last fell, but was unable to do
so on account of the accident at Fort
Myer- in September. , . •
The country, between Fort Mycr and
Shutcrs hill near Alexandria, over
which Orville will make his official
speed trial, is very rough, some of the
hills being 250 to 300 feet high.; The
distance to be covered Is five miles
and return. .Neither , the height at
which it will be necessary nor the dis
tance gives Wright any .concern,' but
he is solicitous; about the; fact that he
must carry a passenger, make 40 miles
an . hour : and fly over a . country the
topography: of which, is marked by un
tried obstacles' and conditions.

ALDRICH AND PAYNE
CLASH OVER TARIFF
Senatfc Leader Stirred by De
mand to; Put Hides on
the Free List r
Attempt in Conference to Fix
Dut^ at Half Present Rate
Causes Angry Words
WASHINGTON, July 25.— Angry words
between Senator Aldrich and Repre
sentative Payne just before the close of
an hour's session of the tariff conferees
tonight followed an attempt by Aldrich
to compel a vote on a: motion to make
hides dutiable* at 7^ per cent, half of
the existing rates. The session was ad
journed until 2:30 p: m. tomorrow, with
the hide and leather tariff still unset
tled.:
It appears that the senate leader, was
stirred, up . because of Payne's frequent
statements that the country and the
president were in sympathy with the
action of the house '; in" putting; hides on
the free list, arid that he did not purpose
to.be ; governed by what a majority of
tlie conferees ; thought. A formal mo
tion fixing 7 M per cent as the rate : for
hides was made yesterday. At that
time Payne is reported. to have said he
could not consent to a vote. He declared
the sentiment of the country favored
free hides,*and referred to the presi
dent's expressions. ,
During the forenoon session today the
conferees discussed the parliamentary
situation, but tonight the motion was
renewed. . .=-.-.
ALDRICH UPBRAIDS PAYXE
Payne, it is said, reiterated his posi
tion with increased emphasis. Aldrich
is reported to have upbraided Payne for
his "obstinacy" and to have said that
he was "tired of dictatorial methods"
to defeat the will. of a majority of the
ferees to other congressmen.
When'it was seen' that nothing could
be accomplished, Payne's signature be
ing necessary for the making of a re
port, the conference adjourned. " .-
The story of the intense feeling leaked
out through confidences given by con
cerees to other congressmen.
The house conferees continued in ses
sion tonight discussing the situation.
Another conference attended by Sen
ators Warren and Clark of Wyoming,
Sutherland, Borah and Dick was held.
Earlier in the day "Senators Smoot and
Carter had met with their western as
sociates. These senators decided that
they 'would insist upon the shoemen
fulfilling their \u25a0 agreement' to permit
leather goods to go on the free list in
return for like treatment of hides.*
WA\TS SHOEMEX TO MAKE GOOD
During the hearings before the house
committee boot and shoo men declared
they were willing to have their manu
factures put on the freo list if hides
were.made free. When the bill reached
the senate hides were taken from the
free list, where they had been- placed
by the house, and made dutiable at 15
percent ad valorem, as- under the Ding
ley law. This was accomplished after-a
hard fight, and the senators from states
interested In protecting hides declared
that.- they would be -willing .^to have
hides made free if boots and shoes and
other leather products were also made
free.-' \u25a0 \u25a0 ;,-.: .V >tv.- v : - \u25a0\u25a0' "A" '.'.. '\u25a0' "
"We- want the boot and shoe, men to
make good," said .Senator Warren at
the. conclusion of the. conference, in
which: he participated. "They made
their bluffs, now let' them live to
their agreement." ;
Other senators expressed the opinion
that President Taft would have no more
difficulty in greatly reducing rates on
leather than in putting hides on the
free list if he contends for .".the former
with as much-force as for the latter.
