Louis, August 14. Harrv Atwood of Boston this The Art has a splendid bill this week, in the way of a minstrel show. Tbe company ia composed of ten members and tach one is great. The end men, Jack Wheeler, Cbas. Lewis, Billy Lightell and Frank Young are good and set off some funny and original jokes.

The dancers are splendid and won rounds of applause. Ibe hit of the evening was made by Dr. S. C. Neff, chairman of the fire committee of tbe Council and Mr.

Tbe flight over the heart of St. Louis was made for a special prize offered by the Post-Dispatch. For about 100 yards after the start the aeroplane skimmed lightly over the ground, then Atwood lightly tilted his plarea and the car rose gracefully into the air. gradually reaching lOOO feet, which be deemed sufficient for a eafe flight over the high buildings in the business district. During his flight over the city tbe streets below were lined with spectators, who cheered his appearance.

Hoofs of buildings and other vantage points were crowded with spectators, while business for an hour or more was practically suspended. Springfield. Aug. 14. After circling over the city several times, Atwood landed in Capital at 10:34 ii.

M. He was entertained at a. reception and luncheon, and resumed his fight toward Chicago at 3 o'clock. Chicago, August 14. By flying the 286 miles from St.

Louis to Chicago with only two intermediate stops, and in an actual nying time of five urB and forty-three minutes today, Harry N. Atwood, of Boston, believes he has set a pace which will result in his establishing a new record on his flight by aeroplane from St. Louis to New York and Boston. As it is, Atwood appears to have broken tbe American record for a Fingle day's fligVt. The best previous American record was made by Atwood himself when he flew 148 miles from Atlantic City to July 10, 1911.

The best international cross-country record is held by Andre Beaumont, who in the Pari3-Rome contest covered 401 miles in a single day, but in this instance he made three landings, while Atwood today landed twica between start and finish. BEATS EXPRESS TRAINS. Atwood, in a Burgess-Wright plane, left St. Louis at 8:05 a. and reached Chicago at 6:10 bi- m.

His total time between St. Louis and Chicaeo. counting the delays caused by the two stops, was two hours and fourleen minutes, but his actual time in (he air, computed by deducting the delays, was five hours and forty-three minutes. This, Atwood as serts, ft three hours ana twelve minutes less than the schedule time for express trains for the same distance. Atwood's descent into Chicago was thrilling.

Sailing in from the Southwest, a lone speck in the clouds, he made direct for tbe dow.i town district, and for a time hovered un noticed in the distance over the skyscrapers. Thousands of peopl were crowded at the lake front intent upon the flights of the aeroplanes competing in the aviation contests. Atwood appears on the scene as a stranger, unheralded and expected only by a few. Suddenly the crowd noticed the oncoming stranger, and a voice shouted, "That'a Atwood from St. Louis." Immediately the vast ai-spmbly was in an uproar.

Two or three of the airmen sailed out to rntet Atwood. Coming steadily onward Atwood ateered over the aviation field and circled around it, while several of the machines listed in the meet followed behind as an escort. Once around Atwood descended grrsee- first tirou oince his stop at Pontiac, ninety-one miles from Chicago.

"It is a matter that vitally affects tbe social interests of the nation and one whicn muit soon tie remedied. First among the laws should be one absolutely preventing in nny State the marriage la man whose wife divorced him charges of specific crime. Along with this should be laws making both marriage and more difficult. A commissioner might be appointed to ascertain the best way of estab-ishing uniform laws throughout the country.

The defence had asked for two weeks ir which to make pre parations. A -singular development in the case W8b the rtfusal of Judge Gregory, romroorwf alth's attorney, to accept the proffered services of Hon. R. E. Byrd, Speaker of the House of Delegate, to aist him in the prosecution; He declared that he is per fectly capable of conducting the prosecution himself, and needs no as sistance, -i Beattie commenting on the indict ment said he expected it.

The evi dence submitted to the grand jury was al one-sided as is usually the case and consisted ox trie iacts al ready published in the papers. Probably no more facts were brought out by the State than they thought sufficient to convince the! jury that an indictment ought to be returned and tha supposition is that much valuable evidence is held in reserve.
