Tho Veteran? allege that one reader, at least, of the "Heart of Oak" series contains language which refers Im? properly to the cause for which they fought. Governor Blease said he had no Idea such a statement as that print? ed was in any of the books adopted, thla reference being to a selection in [ one of the "Heart of Oak" readers which la said to refer to the Confed? erate* at Shlloh as "a dark, rebel? lious host." Governor Bleaae fur? ther stated that If he had known such a "libel upon the South' was print? ed In any book adopted by the board he would then and there have regis? tered his protest. He said that his attitude was well known In this mat? ter by his stand In the Waddy Thompson history controversy. The Governor also stated that he was not preeent when the readers were ad? apted by the State board of educa? tion, being called out of the city at the time.

"Whereas, we further believe that ^ the books taught In our free assembled, believed that the princi? ples and truths for which we fought are just as vital today as they were when we left our homes and families to a* fend them with our lives and fortunes, and. "Whereas, we further Lelelve that the books books taught In our free School system. where alone our children have an opportunity to learn these truths, should be free from any aspersion* or misrepresentations, either by direction or Indirection. ^ "Therefore, be it resolved. That we most seriously protest against the use of the above oameJ readers and respectfully but earnestly call upon the State board of education to take Immediate stepe whereby readers or any other books containing any or ^ all such expressions reflecting upon tbe truth of tbe cause for which we fought may not be forced upon our ?hlMeen " Dl \JMSJSJl CANNOT hYtfi CVR*.I> pplleatloaa as they cannot " reach th*. diseased portion of the ear.

Y., Au?. 24.?Another .1? i.?> iii' uh nt to aviation brought dis? appointment to thousands of people along the lower Hudson river and in N< w Vohk eity today, when Harry N. AtWOOd\ in his record-breaking aero plan Might from St. Louis, failed to sail o\?r New York and land at sheej-shead Kay. but instead, on ac l "iint of a defec t in his engine, was compelled to land here, within 20 miles of his destination. Tomorrow, probably early. Atwood expects to r? snme his trip and In one hour iln ish the longest aeroplane Might eser achieved. Atwood is 1,240 miles from S'. >uls and 25 miles from the hen i t New York.' His flying time for the Jlstanee eovered in 11 days is 27 ours and 4 5 minutes. Despite bis failure to reach New York, the day's il of 109 miles down the Hud30i? ve Atwood, by 76 miles, the world's long distance record, formerly held by Knropean aeronauts. At woods* flight down the Hudson as full of picturesque Incidents.. He covered th? 109 miles from Castleton, here he ascended at 7:3fi a. m., Nyack. where he made his final ndlng at 11:33 a. m., In an actual ving time of 2 hours and 37 minutes, fter the start from Castleton, 1 hour nd 3 minutes brouhgt him over ingston. opposite Rhlnecllff, which marked his having surpassed by 13 miles the previous world's long dis? tance record of 1,164 miles. Further own Atwood dropped to near the ater as to be able to shout to the assengers on a fery boat. At that oint he approached the Poughkeep e bridge and swooping still lower went under It at a height above water f only 100 feet. Atwood's explanation of his failure to land at West Point, where the parade grounds were crowded with fflcers, cadets and citizens, was that he found the space alloted him too hampered. After sailing low enough to look over the prospect he rose again, sailed over the river and landed at Oarrlson, where no one was waiting to greet him. At 11:06 a. m. Atwood started again, purposing to make his last dart for Sheepshead Pay and thus complete the trip. Put he had not gone far when he discovered that the bearing-metal of hie engine had worn away and the mechanism ^as wobbling. Twenty-eight minutes after his last start and when only 25 miles out of New York he decided to de seend here. Atwood is working to? night on the broken engine of his aeroplane. Close as this is to the finish of his flight from St. Louis, the young aviator tonight said he faces the most embarrassing predica? ment of his long Journey. His biplane Is in an awkward box, out of which ho says only a south or southeast wind can help him. It rests near a hay stack on the small sloping meadow, ISO feet above the Hudson and about 2,000 yards from the water. Almost behind him is the rocky Hook mountain, rising 800 feet and to the south and east tall trees make It a difficult place to take wing. "It is the worst I have had since leaving St. Louis." he said. "I could only climb out of here against a southerly or easterly breeze." He frankly admitted disappoint? ment over his ill-luck. "I shall work here all night," he continued, "fixing the engine. The trouble is a broken babbit on the connecting rod. I have gggri to the Nyack machine shop for a new casting and I'll he ready to fly Just as soon as the wind blows right tomorrow." Atwood announced tonight that he will not attempt to fly from New York to lloston after reaching the metrop? olis. I'm too tried." he paid, "for a longer trip now."
