Governor Blease said he had no
Idea such a statement as that print?

thla reference being to a selection in
[ one of the "Heart of Oak" readers
which la said to refer to the Confed?

lious host." Governor Bleaae fur?
ther stated that If he had known such
a "libel upon the South' was print?

public schools of this State, contain
on page 22S of the fourth book a
seectlon that refers to the Southern
army at Shlloh as 'a dark, rebellious'
host and.
"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

NfttOh, N. 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."
