"The president signed a tariff,’’ Mr.
Underwood said, "praised as the 'best

Castleton. N. Y., 23.—On the last
lap of his flight from St. ixiuis to
New York, Harry N. Atwood, tthe
aviator, tonight has his aeroplane
hitched to an apple tree on top or
a mil here, overlooking the Hudson
Htver and Albany, eight miles io tne
north. Tomorrow Atwood expects in
what he calls two "bird hops’’ to
complete • his Journey to New York,
landing at fclheepshead Bay with a pos.
sthle preliminary circle over Gover
nor’s Island.
On landing the Boston aviator win
have accomplished the longest mgni
through the air ever made by man In
a neavier-tnan-air macnine. He win
hold the world’s record tor a cross
country flight and he believes »ie has
set a pace In the development of aer
opianes which will result In more long
distance attempts and a gradual elim
ination of tatal contests at aviation
meets.
Atwood hopes to sail over the 134
miles between here and New York
before mid-afternoon. It is not prob
able ne win make it without a stop
on the way, because he carries only
12 gallons of gasoline and uses one
gallon every ten miles. He hopes to
make his first "hop'’ tihe longest so
that he will be able more accurately
to estimate the exact time of his ap
pearance over New York. Hig actua»
[flying time from here down he thinks
will be much less than tnree hours.
When ne landed here Atwood ni
ten days had flown 1,131 miles from
Mi. Louts without any more serioua
misnap than losing his way. His
biplane has enaured the test wunoui
damage, u was only because or a
slight wearing off toe bearings ot
his engine that Atwood decided to
not continue ihis flight tonight out
to put everything in shape for smooth
sailing tomorrow. His mccnamc8
prepared to work on the bi plane ait
mgnt, attaching pontoons tor possi
ble landings in the river.
Leaving here probably early, At
wood will fake a straight course down
the river, flying over near Kingston,
Poughkeepsie, Pishklil, NewDurgn,
Ossining and intermediate points.
His appearance over Whinecnir, oppo
site Kingston, will mark the creaking
of the world's long distance cross
country flying record, for at that
point he will have exceeded by 13
miles the present record of 1,164
nines. At New York ne will nave
Mown 1,365 miles, or lui miles above
the present record.
Atwoods rnght today of 66 miles
between Port Plain and L'astieton was
the only day's run which he started
and ended before noon. Prom Port
Plain, where he ascended In a fog
at 7:36 a. m., ne swept through m«
Mohawk Valley “turned the corner’'
for the Mouth at Albany and landed
here at 6:13 a. m. He stopped t»
minutes enroute for gasoline making
his flying time one hour and 33 min
utes.
Over villages and cities, disregard
ing all offers of money nonuses to
land >11 places where great crowds
awaited nim, Atwood sailed tnrougn
the valley against n wind. Whistles
and ringing of bells had no induce
ment for him. for generally ne
towered around cities.
AJt Seohnectady he went three
miles out of his way to avoid a dem
onstration and was seen only In the
distance. Approaching Albany ««
turned to the south and again evaded
the crowds. When he was swinging
out over tflie Hudson River, howev
er, tnousands saw him and then began
a great rush in the direction in which
it was seen he was going to land.
Atwood himself alter shunning nos
pitauty all day, landed on tne prop
erty of an Ira^e farmer, who protest
ed against the appearance of ttne
"man bird’* and its consequent tnrusn
of people. The more tne farmer pro.
tested the greater became the crowd
and soon a nearby apple orchard wai
half denuded of its fruit.
The aviator who has flown over
portions of six states a»d along th®
edges of two lakes, said tonignt tnat
5ie regarded *he approach of New
York merely as tne preliminary ot
still longer flights he is planning to
take.
A long crosscountry flignt, he said,
was nothing more than a succession
of one day flights and he believes sim
ple straighiway flying at the present
development ol aeroplanes poSsesseu

Atwood said tonigtht he expected t3
leave here at 7 a. m. tomorrow. He
definitely asked to Btop at West

ing to tnts schedule, he will reacn
Rhine Cluff shortly before H o’clock

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF
FAMOUS PAINTING BAF
FLES THE POLICE.

pans, 'Aug. 23.—'The mystery ot
the disappearance from tne Louvre
of Leonard da Vinci's great painting
Mona Lisa popularly called hy me
French "La Joconde’’ appears more
impenetrable than ever tonight. me
only thing definite esiaonshed ny to
day's investigation is that the picture
disappeared between 7 and 7:30 Mon
day morning. Whether it is still, in
the Louvre or has been taken away it
Is impossible at present to determine.
Not the faintest clue uas been dis
covered in spite of the united efrorts
of sixty of tne cleverest detectives
in Paris, and alt the museum staff.
Wlhether the picture was abstrated by
one or several persons also remains
in doubt, and M. Lepine, the perfect
of police, admits he is baffled.
It is one of the hardest cases in
the annals of criminal investigation
and the search is being continued whe
unremitted zeal. To taciiiate tni»,
the museum will be closed -or three
days. No one will he admitted except
police and officials.
A council was held In the Louvre
this atternoon, those in attendance
including M. Steeg, minister of pub
lic Insiruction; M. Du Jardin-Beuu
metz, under-secretary of public in
struction, and fine arts; M. Lepine
M, Homoie. director of tihe louvre,
examining magistrate Duouz, who <•
charged with the Judicial investiga
tion and the different chiefs of the
museum. Various theories were ad
vanced, welgned and Dually rejecteu
for lack of evidence. The consensus
of opinion, nowever, was mat tne
picture has not left the building, but
is hidden in one of the lnumerable
recesses. AU the gate keepers are
positive that no sucn package as the
nmtllPA U'nnl.l httVA mudn urnn t n if ATI

at least a week to search minutely ev
ery cranny of the vast building, There
is au immenso packing room, wfhlch
contains a quantity of cases used tor
sending oft plaster casts or the sta
tues and similar work to the provin
cial museum and schools. It is thought
the picture might he hidden in one of
these cases.
An experiment made today estab
lished the fact that while a guardian
or a person accustomed to the worn
could handle a picture flhe size oi
‘‘Mona Lisa," unaided, it would be
practically impossible tor an inex
perienced nand to aetach and carry
It alone. It is supposed that tne
tdiet or thieves entered the museum

All persons present on Monday were

M. Bert i lion took a number of pho
tographs of the frame and the paper
packed around the frame to prevent
dust from penetrating between the
tranie and painting, pieces of wmcn
were found strewn close Jo the spot
where the frame was oiscoverea.
These will be examined under a mi
croscope for finger prints.
Haris. Aug. Zb.—support for tne
theory that "Mona i-usa” was carnea
away by some one whose head naa
been turned by tne beautiful face
was found this evening in the adtma
sion of M. Le 'Prieur, tihe curator o\
the art museum that during the past
years letters, addressed to “Mona
Lisa” have been received quite fre
quently at the Louvre. These com
munications were addressed in var
ious handwritings, but in ali the writ
er expressed in ardent terms of ten
derness and passion ‘ admiration to*
tne incomparable tatty.”
More than one person has been ob
served showing extraordinary emotion
in tne presence of the picture, some
times being moved to tears or mur
muring words of admiration. As a
consequence, the aoministration or
tfhe museum assigned a special man to
watch the portrait, suspecting that
otnerwise something might happen io

2't.—The jury, all farmers with tnree
exceptions, whiclh will decide wheth
er Henry Clay Beattie jr., of Rich
mond shall got to the electric chair
was completed today. The battle foe
a human life will begin at ten o’clock
tomorrow morning to wnich hour tne
court adjourned. The commonwealth
will then call its first witness.
'Hie prisoner, churged Dy the grand
Jury of wire murder, was locked up
for the night in the small Jail here
and will not be returned to the Ricn
rnond Jail during the trial. His gray
haired father embraced him and Jour
neyed home In a du^ty Dtiblfc convey
ance surrounded by the curious.
Beattie conferred earnestly witn his
lawyers and studied Intently flhe

tore the defense decided on Us elimi
nations. Then after a moment of
whispered conversation wltn H. M.
Smith, Jr., his chief counsel, the pv*“,
oner nodded his head and the clerk
announced that the names of tour
farmers selected on Monday were
dropped from tihe list.
In charging the jurors, who will be
kept during tne trial at an old tav
ern near the court house, Judge wai
ter A. Watson simply set torth tne
law of Virginia as applicable to hom
icide. As the indictment covers an
degrees from the first degree to in
voluntary manslaughter, he explained
that tihe nefendant might he round
guilty accordingly.
"If you find him guilty of murder
in the first degree," said tne court,
"you shall say so and nothing more
in which event the punishment shall
be death; but if you find him guilty
of murder in the second degree, you
ttfiall say so and shall fix his punish
ment by confinement In Ihe peniten
tiary at not lefts than five nor more
than 18 years.’’
After reciting the penalty tor lesser
degree of manslaughter, the court
concluded with the words;
"If you find the prisoner not guilty
of any of the offenses charged you
snail say so and no more.’’
It was hot almost to suffocation in
the little court room today.
None of tihe witnesses was on hand
and mose who came to see Beuia Bin
ford, the “girl in the case " were dis
appointed. ishe probably will not »«
called to testify until late in the
week.
Thomas Owen, an uncle of 'Mrs.
Beattie, to whose home Beattie car
ried the body witn a tale of a beard

mobile from tihe roadway; likely win
be tne first witness called for tne
commonwealth in the morning.

the eve of his forty day "swius around

tonight announced himself unalterably
opposed to the "nostrums'’ of reform,
which he declared "demagogues" and
■theoretical extremists’ have advano.
ed for the solution of the problem ot
concentrated weaich in this country.
The president tonight spoke to tn«
veterans of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and in the struggle in whicfe
they went through fifty years ago and
the one wihich. he said, now confronts
tnis nation, he found a striking anal*
ogy, although the struggle of today
would be blood less. In the end. thd
president said, the peace lovin&
straight tninking people of the coun
try will be victorious, but the fight
itself may be the longer because >t
will be fougSit out to the end without
bloodshed and the roar of the bat
tlefield.
‘ Higher alms for the betterment ot
society, these new evils growing out
of the concentration of wenith and
tnese combinations which properiy
controlled, are a great good in the r«
ductlon of the cost of production,"
said the president, "have invited from
tlhe active minded of today sugges
tions of remedies that are so extreme
that tne medicine to many of us ap
pears worse than the disease.
“These who are charged with the
responsibility and sobered with ins
ditttcuittes find ourselves in the mid
dle of the road resisting the tendency
to socialism on tlhe one hand ana
tne Inertia of reactionary contentment
with present evils and ambition lor
greater concentration of financial
flower on the other: lint we are grad
ually solving the problem.
"The present does not bring diffi
culties so great as you had to meet
and overcome In '61. It may be a
longer fight because It will not fn
volve violence or the shedding or
blood, but It must and will be Boived
peacefully and by the earnest effort
of the level headed, the practical and
the courageous among us and by re
ducing tttie influence of tue dema

on the one hand and tile reactionary
Influence of combinations of wealth
on politics and progress on the otn
er. Its solution will be consistent
with the Preservation of our ancient
institutions of personal liberty ana
private property under the constitu
tion.
"The message you bear w??ff your
experience and your success to tnose
of us struggling now with the prob
lem is that, however dark at this
time the situation seems, so long as
we retain In Uhls country a Ood-feep*
ing. sober, Intelligent people, we can
count in tue long run upon their
working out safely and sanely th®
problems set before them, no mat
ter how many mistakes In the form
of nostrums’ they may have been led
into by tbe speciousness of naif bas

often they may have been defeated in
their purpose by tSie temporary suc

of concentrated wealth.’’
Krom tne moment he reached Ro
