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. Brow, in a Curtiss navy
racer, won third place in the Pulitzer
-comipetition going the 150 miles at an
average sped of 193.2 miles an hour.
Maitland's speed for the entire course
was at the rate of 203 miles an hour,
The race was utimarred by serious
accident. One plane, the navy "mystery
ship" piloted by Lieut. L. i. Sander

son of the marine corps, was forced 1
out of the race during the fourth lap t
by engine trouble. Sanderson plunged t
with his plane into lake St. Clair, t
over which a part of the' course ex
tended, but escaped unhurt. Capt. 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. In setting a
world's record for 50 kilometer course,

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.
