IN AIR CONTEST Lieutenant Maughan Wins Fast Race. Good Average Made. Mt. Clemens, Mich., Oct. 14.-Uncon scious at times duo to the terrfile speed at which he rushed through the heavens, and during his consolous mo ments haunted by fears for the condi tien of his wife, who momentarily ex pects to 'become a 'mother, Lieut. R. tL. Maughan, an army aviator flying an army Ourtiss high speed pursuit plane, well the 'Pulitzer trophy aerial race here today. He traveled the 160 mile course at an average speed of .206 miles an hour. The race, run in thre.n:ghts and replete with sensational achievements on the ,art of the entrants that promi !ae to become perial tradition, resulted in the smashing of world records, both oflicial and unofficial, for 50,100 and 200 kilometer courses. bleut. IL. J. Maitland, piloting a sis ter ship to that of Maughan, was sec ond in the Pulitzer competition, Ilit his honors in that respect were over shadowed by the terrific speed he at tained on the lap of 50 kilometers. Ho covered the distance at the, 4'ato of 21; miles .an hour, faster than any one ever flew in a race. 'For the 100 kilometer course' during the race he averaged 207.3 miles an hour, another world record. Maughan's plane Is the one that made a world's record of 220 miles -.n hour over a one kilomete- course at Garden City, Long Island, recently. Seven liters, two of the United States navy entries, the rethainder representatives of the army, shattered the world's record for 200 kilometers or more when they exceeded 178.7 miles an hour, the mark estalblished . September .i in France by Kirsch. Lieutenant 'Maughan had the ibest speed for the distance, a rate of 206 miles an hour, his aperage speed for the entire 156 miles course. Lieut. iH. J.

St. Clair treet landed phis Verville-Sperry 1 between two trees a mile from 'Sel- t fridge field. He was not hurt but a ii wing was torn off the plane. When he brought his plane to earth Lieutenant iMaughan was so exhaust ed that he leaned- against the ship for geverai minutes until 'he rsevived. Maj. I Gen. -Mason M. .Patrick, chief of the I army air service, Rear Admiral W. A. Moffatt, chief of the naval bureau of -aeronautics, and Edwin Denby, secre tary of the navy, rushed to him. Ma jor General Patrick patted the lieuten ant on the head and Secretary Denby wds so overcome he burst into tears. "All the time duling the race I was' thinking about a telegram I had been expecting, announcing the birth of a child to Mrs. Mlaughan," the winning airman said, when he was arble to talk. "'I was lost four times in the haze and was stunned more or less at each of the 1-5' turns. My worst moments, how ever, were at one turn when I lost confidence and then became uncon scious. On the straight away I came too. Another trouble I had was with my feet going, to sleeit." The terrific speed told on Lieuten ant Maitland. After the lap in which he made 216.1 miles an hour, his air pressure, feeding gasoline to his mo tor 'broke down, and he was forced to use an 'emergency hand pump. .Throughout the last four lae s, with his plane hurling through the air at a speed in excess of 200 .miles an hour, Maitland was Obliged to pump away, first with one hand and then with the 'eher. When he iltnished behind Maughan he was so exhausted that it was necessary to take hinm to his qiuarters before he could be revived. Williams, J. R., had a thrilling ex-' perience when a Ilre extinguisher in his plane broke, a piece of it knock ing his helmet off. 'ie had great dif 'iculty in arranging the helmet, while ,plunging on at more than three miles a minute. Fnumes from the broken extin guis)or sickened him.

IiANY' RAILWAYS SETTLE: S'i'iK1" Chicago, Oct. i.-Eighty-three rail roads of the United States, operating approximately 05,000 miles and em ploying between 125,000 and 130,000 members of the federated shlip crafts, have settled the shop crafts' strike with their systenv federations, accord ing to a special .bulletin sent today to all members of the organization over the signature of B. I.M. Jewell, presi dent. The latest addition to the set tling roads being the Fort Smith & Western, the Georgia, Florida & Ala bama, and the Chicago Great Western. Reply i g to pumerous requests for an inter iretation of the Baltimore plan, upon . which the strike leaders claim tihe settlements have been made, the circular states throe reasons ac tuated the executives in asdepting the agreement basis. It gives, first, a split in' the Association of Railway Executives-one group agreeable to a settlement and the "other bent on destroying these organizations;" sec ond, willingness of the liberal group to negotiate national agreements and lay down a 'hasis for settlements on other roads; third, that no justiflea tion could be found for keeping 125, 000 men on strike who could return to work and assist in financing those wtho remained idle. is-Roper BERING NEW ] New shipments of day's express bring from Broadway ar dresses are pattern< els, and of such a re price is bound to su Prices $11L MILLINERY Our Millinery De ed with nice new This department is your pocket book.
