ln_Amercs

,y
A scene and event of a lifetime was
the motor boat race, yesterday, for the
championship of the world, and which
was won for the second time by on
Am can beat, Dixie IL. in a race that
rilling from start to finish.

wIt was a victory magnificent in all Its
details and conditions. The Wolseley.
Sideley crossed the Atlantic with the
reputation of being the fastest 40- foot
motor best ever built, and she has been
racing since April. The Dixie II. was
one of two boats built with the patrl
otle idea of defending the trophy only.
and while the second of these craft was
never in running condition, the Dixie
II. has demonstrated that nothing equal
to her has ever been constructed In
wood and steel in the way of speed.
Her owner. Mr, E. J. Schroeder. was
also the owner of the Dixie l.. the boat
that brought. the international trophy
to this country.

The start was to have been at 2: 30

o'cldck, and at that time the racers
were under way, circling about waiting
for the signal. their motors chugging
in a restive way. each seeming to be
impatient to be off. The helmsmsn,
calm and passive. skilfully guided each
craft In and out among the fleet of
yachts.

Capt. Pearch, shrouded In a rubber
poncho. held the wheel on the Dixie IL,
and under the hood was Albert Rap-
pnhn looking after the wants of the
motors. Neel M. Robbins, represent.
lag the Duke of Westminster. held the
wheel on the Wolseley-Slddeley. He
was died In a yachting uniform and
wore a yachting cap. For once his
pipe was laid aside.

Dr George Alfred Fethiman guided
the Daimler II, a big brute, “all hull
filled with cylinders " as Water Bieling
called her. lShe snorted and growled

treated with a tight with his brother,
William Coles, which resulted In the

The case was in the town court, this

not guilty.

When they got to fighting, Thomas
received a. bloody nose, and as the
trouble occurred in the kitchen of the
home, their mother. Mrs. Williams, be-
came frightened. and sent for a police
man. Captain Thomas Hunt went to
the scene and placed both men under
arrest.

In court, this morning, Mrs Williams
said that she did not know what the
trouble started over. nor which one
struck the first blow. She said she
went between them to prevent them
injuring one another She was asked
what the trouble was and she said all
she knew was that William declared
that Thomas could not stay In the
house. and Thomas said he should, and
then the tight started.

Prosecuting Attorney Tammany:
"Did they strike each other more. than
once?" Mrs. Williams:' "I could not
see, they were all tangled up"

Captain Hunt took the witness stand
and stated that he was called and
made the arrest. He heard Thomas say
he would not stood for William strik-

The South Norwaik Fire Police had
the hottest session In the company's

twentyoslx years of existence last
night at headquarters In the city li-
brary building in Washington street.
Until they Mirth Mlaauwel
'last night, a number of the members

there was a plan on foot for the dis-
banding of the company. The tire p0
lice are not numerically very strong.
but. there was a roomful of active and
non-active members on hand when It
came time for last night's meeting. It
developed, however, that only ten
members present were entitled to vote.

same of the members of the com-
pany are not yet convinced that there
has been an effortéto break up the or-
ganization. A committee composed of
Joseph Disesa, Thomas S. Donaldson
and Frederick H. Booger was appoint-
ed by the meeting to confer with the
reporters, and find out where the infor<
motion came from. Messrs. Donald-
.son and Disesa called at The Sentinel
otiice this morning on their mission.
They did not believe, they declared.
that an effort had been on foot to dis-
rupt the company. and they wanted a
denial made.

Two other prominent members of
the company stated this morning, that.
there was absolutely no question that
some of the members had intended to
break the company up if possible.
These members said that simmered
down, It developed that most of those
who were in the movement are mem-
bers In arrears in dues.
bers in this movement, it was declar-
ed further, are not more than half a
dozen in number. and it was their de-
sire to wind up the affair, and have
the company vote to use their fund
for an outing. It was claimed that the
disbanding proposition was dropped
like a hot. potato, because the organis-
ers of the movement got‘cold feet.

Last night's meeting lasted from 8
o'clock until about 10:45. and several
participating In the discussions be-
came “hot under the collar." though
everything ended quite happily. .

veloped that Frederick J. Buckley,
whom the city council has not ratified
as captain. because he lives outside

CONSTANCE. Gemiany, Aug. 4.—
Tlic weather was excellent this morn-

ing. when at 6:30 o‘clock Count Zeppe-
lin's great airship merged from the
floating dock at b‘riedrlchshai’en. The
airship arose immediately from the
waters of the lake to a height of about
four hundred feet and after describing
one magnificent CII‘CIC over the lake,
proceeded in a bee line for this city,
arriving here at ll; 55 o'clock. The ship
continued on Its way and within an-
other hour had covered 45 kilometres
and was over Schaffhausen. From
that point it continued along the Rhine
to Basic.

Count Zeppeliu's plan is to coutlnu'e
to Mayence along the ltblne and from
there return to Metz, cross over to
Stuttgart. and return. if the weather
continues favorable, to k‘riedrlchshaien
abdht 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.

The day and the hour when the os-
cent was to be made were kept secret
until late last night, and not even the
imperial commissioners who were to
ifccompany the count on the voyage
were present.~~ The only omcial tak
ing part in the flight Is Major Grad
nitz.

Although the day and the hour of the
ascent of the airship had been kept
strictly secret, long before daylight to-
day the streets of Friedrichshafen pre-
sented a lively scene. for a long ex-
perience with the doings of the men
who sail the air had taught the natives
that certain signs Were evidence of a
forthcoming ascension. As a conse
quence, the local inhabitants and their
summer boarders were out in great
numbers when the sun appeared.

Count Zeppelin arrived at the Saab
Ing dock at 4 o’clock. accompanied by
his nephew. Dr. Ecker, a well-known
yachtsman of Hamburg. and Major
Gradnitz, the only ofllclal representa-
tive. Neither the imperial commis-
sioners nor the count's usual oiliclal
suite nor the military motorists who
intended to follow the flight. had been
notified or Invited. it was reported
that the count wished to make his
great flight quietly and without cere-
mony.

Not the faintestcloud marred the
beauty of the day. The surface of the
lake was like a mirror and the dis
tsnt Alpine giants stood our strong
and: mighty In the clear atmosphere.
At 6:15 the colossal body of the air
ship emerged slowly from the floatv
lng shed towed by three launches. Uh
der the direction of Dr. Ecker. the
pontoons were towed out from under-
neath it and the airship hovered low
over the surfwe of the lake. Then
slowly the nose of the ship was raised
to a higher level as though the huge
monster, suffering for air, was striving
for a higher level, to make breathing
easier. The noise, of the propellers.

the Astor House, according to Instruc-
tions, and registered as Rutbruff. At
noon yesterday he was called to the
telephone by a man who gave his name
as Lawrence.

"What's the password?" asked Law-
rence

“Hearts and hands," answered the
victim.

"What's your order number?" was
asked next.

"329," was the answer.

Then Gegan. spent about fifteen min-
utes answering questions~who the
Mayor of Bellevlllc Is, what its popu-
lation ls, how far from Detroit It Is.
and so on.

Mr. Uwrence apologised for the
caution. which was necessary. and

City Council Votes to lists
Committee Compile Figures
~Buliding Line for Seymour
Avenue Changed, and Elm f
Grove Street to be Laid Out

. " w—u—ua- v 'r‘

A number of highly Important mat»
ters to the people of this city came up
last night at the monthly meeting of
the common council.

- The business in brief:

It was voted to appoint a committee-
to compile the figures of the entire
floating indebtedness of the city. and g .
to consider whether It would be adviw . ‘
ble to bond this indebtedness.

After another strenuous hearing on
the establishing of a building line In
Seymour avenue, It was voted to make
a building line of five feet on that thin--
oughfare. The council committee had
previously decided on eight feet for ,
the east side and three feet for no .
west side, but a vigorOue protest was
raised by the residents last. evening.

In behalf of the lost city meeting
which unanimous ted the gifts)! _
$20,000 from An rew arneglt for s .
new publimlibmry and requestsd the
council to do likewise.Library Dlrsamr
George H. Vosburgh appeared hafdi’a
the meeting and explained the action
of the city meeting. The council, how-
ever. did not accept the gift last night.
It was claimed that the city attorney
should consider the legal phases of
the matter first. Mr. Vosburgh ex-
plained that Mr. Carnegie in his offer
agreed to give the $20, 000 if the city
council accepts the gift. the only pro-
vision being that at least $2,000 per
year be furnished by the city tom 1»;
Its running expenses. It was moved to , . . I
lay the resolution of acceptance pre-
sented by Mr. Voshurgh on the tabla
until the next meeting. but. Mr. Vbl~

burgh withdrew the resolution in order
that it might be resented sgsin,rsth~'
