ROUTE OF 28,613 MILES Fastest Previous Dispatch Was Official Ono of Pacific Cable In tVa Minutes, Eleven Years Ago. In order to ascertain th speed at which a commercial message could be sent aroond the world by cable Tub Niw Tork Times riled a dispatch In the telegraph room, on the seventeenth floor of the Times Building, exactly at 7 o'clock last night, and the reply was received by the same operator at 7:16:20 P. H. The message read: Ttxeh, New Tork: This message sent around world.

Times. The time occupied In. the Journey of 2S.613 land miles was 16 minutes and 30 seconds, Including sixteen relays, which Bve an average speed of twenty-nine miles a second. Th meKsapa parsed through Manila at 8:01 A. M.

In the North Pacific. On Its return Journey, coming from the east, the message was relayed at Fayat, in the Axores, at 7:16 F.

and thirty sf conda Utter it was In Tee Times office. An official of the Commercial Cable Company said last night that the time made by The Times message around the world was tho fastest ever achieved by a commercial cablegram since the opening of tho Pacific cable by President Roosevelt and Clarence H. Mackay, President or the company, eleven years ago, when a record was made of 9 minutes and wO seconds. When those official messages were sent over the newly opened Pacific cable every one had been warned to stand by his 'post to give the dispatch a royal right of way. The operators along the route were fully aware what It meant to them If there was any delay.

The time was between 11 P. M. and midnight, when the land lines and cables are handling but little business as a rule. The Times's dispatch was handled as a purely commercial message in the ordinary way, Just as If It had been handed in at the cable office at 20 Broad Street with a ruo request attached to it.

Both prisoners ere placed aboard the Alfonso, which sailed about 5 this afternoon, without being allowed any opportunity to communicate with counsel or with their legation. The Alfonso Is bound for Spanish porta. Vlllaverde'a paper has been showing up administration corruption.

HAS A HUNT FOR A CHURCH Finda His Own and His Wife's Closed When He Goes to Them for Morning Services. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Plans for President Taft's coming trip through the West and to the Pacific Coast practically were completed to-day. The Journey will be almost as extensive as that taken hy the President on his famous swing around the circle" In 1909.

when he traveled mora than 13,000 mUes and visited thirty-three States. Incidentally he will break ground for the Panama Canal Exposition at San Francisco, and attempt to scale tha 14,000 feet of Mount Rainier' precipitous slope. According to the present arrangement the President will be gone six weeks. In that time It is expected that he will make close to two hundred speeches, from platforms, frcm the rear end of his private car, and at other places not on the regular schedule. Republican leaders look upon the trip as the most Important politically that the President has mapped out since he entered the White House.

Ho will go through all the States In the West In which the people recognize the domlnaUon of the progressive Republicans who are counted on to oppose his renoml-naUon next year. Until the question of the adjournment of Congress waa out of the way the President was undecided as to whether he should be gone three weeks or six. With adjournment practically assured for this week he feels that he can get three weeks' rest tt Beverly and be In trim then to stand the admittedly hard grind cf forty?) days In a private car. He probably will leave Beverly Sept. 17, returning East about Nov.

He will go West through Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado. Utah, and Nevada to the coast Most of the big cities in these States, Including Des Moines, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver; and Salt Lake will be visited, but tbo plans for the trip contemplate stops at scores of smaller places as well. From California the President will go north to Portland and Seattle. Three days are to be spent Washington State and the route eastward will allow htm to stop In Idaho. Montana, tbe Dakotas, and Minnesota.

While no spellbinders are to be taken along. It la probable that members of the Cabinet or Congressmen will become traveling companions of the Presi dent at various points' en Topics" for the President's addresses will not be hard to find, the party leaders say. 'Mr. Taft to-day went looking for an cpan church and had a hard time finding one. With Secretary of War Sttmson and Major Butt, both members of the White House bachelor' colony at present he staretd out shortly before 11 o'clock.

They strolled through Lafayette Square and up Fourteenth Street to the church which the President usually attends. The doors were closed. We'll have to to over to Mrs. Taffs church, I guess," he said. Back they walked to Street Just across Lafayette Square from tho vVhlte House to the church where Mrs.

Taft worships when she Is In Washington. It also was closed, and the trio finally turned In the direction ot the Church of the Epiphany. Services were in progress, and ushers in a few minutes found seats for them. Many of Washington's prominent churches hold but one service each Sunday during the hot months, this usually at night The President had forgotten the custom to-day when he started out but after his long walk was over he remembered it Mr. Taft was the guest of honor at a luncheon to-day at the Country Club, hlch was attended by Vice' President Sherman and a score of Republican leaders.

Senator Root was host The luncheon, planned as a purely social affair a sort of Congressional farewell to the President developed Into an Informal political conference. The President waa congratulated upon his veto messages, the probable effect of the extra session of Congress upon the fortunes of the Democratic and Republican parties In the coming campaign was discussed. In addition to the President and Vice President -Sherman, there were present at the luncheon Attorney General Wicker, sham. Secretary of War Stimson, Secretary of Commerce and Iibor Nagel, Senators Penrose, Crane, Root Ltppltt Warren, Brlggs, Brandegee, and Curtis, Representatives Dwlght of New York, Long worth of Ohio, Gardner of Massachusetts, and several others. The luncheon itself was devoid of political discussion, but afterward the guests formed a circle on the lawn, with the President and Mr.

Sherman ta the oentre. Anecdotes of tho special session and stories of the way the Republican leaders carried out their part In putting through the Administration legislative programme, with predictions as to the result of the 1912 campaign, occupied the remainder of the afternoon. TWO BOMBS ALIKE EXPLODED One In Fifth Avenue Lot and Another In Tenement Yard. There was a loud explosion In the vacant lot in Fifth Avenue, between 103d and 104tb Streets, yesterday afternoon, and when Policeman Becker of the East 101th Street Station got there he found the ismalns of a bomb which, evidently, had been manufactured out of a piece of gas pipe. Several hours later a bomb was exploded In th rear yard ot the tenement at 803 East 101st Street inspector Eagaa of the Bureau of Combustibles, who examined the remains of this bomb, comparing them with what was left of the first bomb, declared that the two were of similar manufacture and Of a type unusuai In Black Hand outrages.

AMERICAN SUPS NOGI ON THE BACK Stranger to JapaneseCeneral Greets Him Thus in Berlin Hotel, Urvincr "Hurrah fse ano.Ht )f Japan!" THTSOTY iwi ivi sauoiit WELL KNOWN IN Heroof Port Arthur Merely Smiles, but Other" Americans Present Express Their Indignation. Special Cable to Thb Kiw York TlilBS. BERLIN, Auff.

2a Gen. Count NogI, the hero of Port Arthur, who left for Japan this week by way of Russia, was the victim of an extraordinary experience with an American, a hail-fellow-well-met" tourist, in the Hotel Adlon tho night before the General's depart ure. The American, who la a well-known New Tork man-about-town and bears a distinguished hyphenated name, occupies apartments In one of the fashionable uptown hotels, and Is fond of assuring both foes and friends that he traces his ancestry back to the sterling days when Charles II. of England had taken refuge in the humble home of a lady who Uved near the battlefield of Worcester. Gen.

NogI, who Is the most modest of men, was Just leaving his table In the garden restaurant of the Adlon when this New Yorker ambled tn for dinner. The New Yorker had seen Gen. Nogl around the hotel for the fortnight previous, but had not been presented. He decided, however, to waive any JitUa formalities, and walking up to the Japanese General, who, as already hinted. Is shyness personified, slapped him jovially on tbe back, exclaiming: Good old Nog II Hurrah for Japan! The grizzled Japanese fighting -man seemed to grasp beauty fthe sltu-4 aUon instantly.

Ilia Oriental composure did not desert htm. lie speaks no English, so he could not reply to the New Yorker's unceremonious greeting. He simply smiled In a sort of half-amused, half -pained way, and 'walked out of th garden on the arm of his Adjutant, Col. Koshida, who proceeded to explain that some American tourists at large In Europe have ways peculiar to themselves of giving expression to their feelings. The Incident occurred In the presence of forty or fifty American guests who were dining at the hotel.

These Americans were naturally disgusted, and organized ah Impromptu Indignation meeting: for the purpose of discussing the advisability of telling their effervescent fellow-countryman what they thought of such an exhibition. The next day the New Yorker left In his motor car for Switzerland. Fifth Avenue 'will no doubt be regaled presently with stories of "how I met Nogt" FIVE HURT BY TROLLEY.

2a Nine hundred and thirty miles from his starting point Harry. N. At wood, the Boston aviator, who is fast approaching th world's longdistance record In his flight from St Louis to New York, landed in a field In Lyons this afternoon after flying 104 miles from Buffalo without a atop. Ascending In Buffalo at o'clock this afternoon. Atwood.

who has flown seven days without a mishap, circled to a high altitude, turned toward the east and caught by a brisk wind from the west shot over towns and villages at a speed which kept train dispatchers busy reporting his progress. Ho alighted In Lyons at o'clock in the evening, having covered the 104 miles In two hours and eleven minutes. In one Instance be went four miles in three minutes, and on reaching Rochester, 60 miles from Buffalo, he went around the outskirts of the city so fast that persons standing on office buildings could not get more than a glimpse ot him. A train which left Buffalo at exactly the same time that Atwood did, ran In sight of tho aeroplane almost all the way to Rochester, but arrived there eighteen minutes after the aviator had passed around the city and disappeared in the east The train, however, had mad a stop on th way. 'Atwood Is now 333 miles from New York, or almost three-fourths through his flight By Tuesday night be hopes te reach Albany, and on Wedaes- flight -down- the Hud son TUver, he expects to break the world's record for distance and finish his trip, landing at Coney Island, in New York, before sundown.

For the 030 miles aV ready covered, he has been In the air actually 19 hours and 58 minutes. Atwood will have broken th world's long-distance record when he flies along the Hudson south of Albany at a point between Greendale and Rhlnecllff. At Rhlnecllff he will have flown 1.177 miles or 13 miles more than th present record of 1,164 miles, won by European aeronauts In flights over Germany. His flying time he expects will be ten days, as compared to thirty days taken by the present record holders. At th finish th Bostonlan.

In distance, will have broken the world's record by 101 miles. Eighteen towns and villages saw the aviator to-day as he swept over them, sometimes flying as low as 150 feet so he could read the names of the railroad stations as he passed. A few miles out of Buffalo, where he ascended from a race track In a breeze off the lake so strong that It carried Mm around In circles of a mile before he could lay his course, Atwood struck out to the east over the New York Central Railroad tracks, which are to tlx bis course all the way to New York. Flying at a speed of a mile a minute, he passed over towns at Intervals ot 10 to 15 minutes. At Ba-tavla, 87 miles from Buffalo, they reported him there S8 minutes after his tart It was between East Palmyra and Newark that he made the best recorded time of the day, covering the four miles between these two points In minutes.

Near Lyons Atwood found he had not sufficient gasoline to carry him on to Syracuse, so he picked out a clear field on a hill near the town and gilded down to the ground. "The strangest feature of my trip today," said Atwood, was that I 'ran Into clouds of dust Not far out of Buffalo found the air, even at a great altitude, filled with fin grain of sand. I steered In all directions, hign and low. to avoid It. but it was not until I reached Bntavla that I found the air clear.

Nearing Rochester. I decided not to fly over th city, but to go around It as the smoke there appeared from a distance to be likely to confuse me." Atwood flight to-morrow will be to Syracuse and Utlca, with stops at each of these cities and a possible detour to Auburn. He intends not to reach Albany before Tuesday night At Albany he will provide his biplane with pontoons for possible emergency landings tn the Hudson River or in the ocean near New York. Leaving Albany Wednesday morning, he hopes to cover th 142 miles from there to New York with one intermediate stop, sailing over the city ahd landing at Coney Island in the afternoon. Soon after he returned to Boston.

Atwood said, he would prepare for a transcontinental flight this Autumn, probably from Los Angeles to New York. He said he thought he could make th 8.000 mile in fifteen days, taking southern to Kt Louis and com in north by way of Cincinnati to New York State. Atwood will fly over Auburn Prison. The convicts to-day offered to provide If the aviator would descend In the prison yard. The prison authorities, how.

Worcester Investigator Finda Bad Concrete In $600,000 WorC.

Sptcial lo TU A'w York Timet. BOSTON, Ang. 20. The six-hundred-thousand-dollar gfad-croing work In Worcester la rich with graft, according to a report mad by -ProL W. French, who baa Investigated the work.

The City of Worcester is liable for 10 per cent of the cost and the State for 23 per cent Weak mortar and weak concrete may place the lives of travelers In Jeopardy. Prof. French Is head of the engineering department at th Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In his report he saysv' "The concrete actually going mt th walls varies within wide limits, but will average to contain at least two-thirds of a yard of sand to one-third yard of ston. Th excess of sand results In a weak mortar and a weak concrete.

I find that the specifications ar not enforced, that th work ts being done with unscreened run of bank material which does not approximate th mixture demanded, that the resulting concrete is Inferior tn quality, and that th strength ef the work is materially reduced aa a result I estimate that th substitution ef the run of bank gravel for the properly proportioned sand and stone mixture is saving the contractors at least II per cubic yard concret.
