Gasoline Problem Is Hard to Solve—
Flying Boat Starts his Month to
Win the $50,000 Prize.
**' ;
HAMMON'DSPORT, N. Y„ July 9.
—Glenn H. Curtis, maker of Rodman
Wanamaker's flying boat in which
Lieut. John C. Porte will try to win
The Daily Mail prize of $50,000 for
a flight across the Atlantic, admit
ted that the gasoline problem might
not prove as simple as it looked on
paper.
The tanks behind the cabin con
tain 300 gallons. In the recent test
of the engines, driven at a sixty mile
an hour speed, gasoline was consum
ed at the rate of nine and six-tenths
an hour. At this rate 192 gallons
would fly the boat to the Azores.
In case of a stubborn head wind,
however, Mr. Curtiss said, the 300
gallons might prove insufficient and
the flying boat might have to take
to the ocean. In this event, as the
flight will be over the tracks of
steamers to and from the South of
Europe, the pilots will be able to
alight where they will have a good
chance of rescue. But, the boat
weighs, approximately, 2,500 pounds,
and its fuel and crew weigh about
another 2,500, and with its light
framework and comparatively heavy
engines, it might not be able to hold
its own for long In heavy seas.
The distance from St. John’s, New
Foundland, the starting point, to the
Azores is 1,199 miles. It is estimat
ed that this distance will be covered
In twenty hours If the conditions are
favorable. Those twenty hours, how
ever, will be the severest kind of a
test for the two aviators. They will
spend that time In’ cfam'ped quarters,
in the tiny weatherproof cabin of,
oiled silk and transparent Celluloid..
The body of the airboat is shaped!
like a fish, tbe cabin occupying the
head. As the pilots sit at their lev
er's they have a view of the world
below them through the tough cel
luloid windows. One handle in the
little room bjierates a searchlight,
which may be used if it is necessary
to diesc’end on the ocean at night, k
switch turns on a string of small
electric lights, making it possible for
the pilot to study bis compass and
other instruments after dark or dur
ing a thick fog.
According tou»e estimates or Lieut.
Porte, the 1,199 miles from St.
f9. M HsmjM W& *?*$*?>
hours, the 963 miles from the Azorest
't3 Vigo sixteen 'hbiirs, anil the 523:
Utiles from Vigo to Plymouth nine'
'hours. Lieut.' Porte allows ' for ten<
hours or more to be consumed inj
slops at the Azores, at Vigo, or pos-j
sibly at sdihe place In the ocean. Hist
estimate of the total time required!
for the trip is Bfty-flve hours—sev
enteen less than the maximum allow
ed by The Pally Mail.

Mile* North of Peking.
LONDON, July 9.—An Exchange
Telegraph Company dispatch from
Shanghai says that the town of Kal
gan, 125 miles northwest of Peking,
was sacked last night.
The dispatch adds that the for
eigners in the city were not harmed.
A later dispatch from Shanghai to
the same company says the Chinese
garrison at Kalgan, composed of 6,
000 Soldiers, mutinied and then loot
ed and burned the city, killing all
who 'resisted them. The women
among the inhabitants were attacked
and many of them were carried off.
The orgie of the mutinous troops
lasted until daybreak, when they
evacuated the city and fled toward
the Mongolian border.
The population of Kalgan is esti
mated at 70,000. There are a num
ber of missionaries in the city, which
is a walled town of Pe-chi-Li prov
ince, about 130 miles northwest of
Peking and a short distance from
the Great Wall.
On the main route from Mongolia
to Peking, Kalgan is a very Import
ant center of the overland tea trade
by the caravan route, and does an
immense business with the Mongols.
Its chief native product is soda.
The suburbs of the city are ex
tensive and picturesque, the valley
in which it stands being well culti
vated.
Many Russians are included in the ;
population of Kalgan.

/ WASHINGTON, July 9.—The De

that the government would commence
suit at otice against the New York,
Hew Haven and Hartford railroad to,

Haven Line in the New England
states and in no wise competes with
the New Haven sysstem.
President Elliott has refused point

REPEAL THE ir
Senate and House Pass Wick’s Re
peal Bill—Guggs Had Already
Paid the Tax.
WASHINGTON July 9.—The Sen
ate today repealed the law requiring
the railroads in Alaska to pay a tax
of *100.00 a mile to the government
each year for the privilege of oper
ating the road. Delegate Wicker
sham, the Alaska Syndicate and Pal
con Joslin have been working for
several months to have the tax re
pealed because of the failure of any
of the railroads operating in Alaska
to make money.
The 'Copper River and Northwest
ern Railroad recently paid the tax
of ,119,525 on Us 195 1-4 miles of
road in operation from Cordova to
the Kennecott mines. The tax for
1914 and 1915 Was paid to Clerk of
the Court Arthur Lang oh June 25th
and has already been turned into
the Treasury and can only be repaid
by an act of congress.
The loss of the tax will seriously
affect the work of the road commis
sion, which received sixty-five per
cent of all moneys collected outside
of incorporated towns in Alaska and
used for the work of building roads
and trails in the territory.
The C.ordova railroad is the only
road in Alaska which has ever paid
its taxes. Falcon Joslin, president
of the Tanana railroad, operated from
Fairbanks to the creeks, stated sev
eral weeks ago that he had figured
it out that he owed the government
$10,000,000 in taxes and fines for his
road, but never intended to pay it.
The repeal bill has already been
passed by the House of Representa
tives and will now go to the president
for his approval.

Henry Savage Landor Issues a State
ment In Which He Says Roosevelt
Crossed It On Bridge.
PARIS. July 9—(Henry Savage Lan
dor, one of the greatest explorers
now living. Issued a statement today
in which he calls Ex-president Theo
dore Roosevelt a fake explorer and
denying that the so-called River of
Doubt, supposed to have been first
found by Col. Roosevelt on his re
cent Brazilian trip was not known
to others prior to the time of the
Roosevelt exploration trip. Savage
says ths^t RooseveJt crossed the
River of Doubt on a bridge built by
the rubber traders In the interior
and knew when he made the an
nouncement of the discovery that it
was a fraud.
Friends of Col. Roosevelt have
come forward with a defense of the
colonel and claim that his position in
the matter of new discoveries is so
well known that it cannot be at
tacked by Savage or other disgruuut
led explorers.

Intimacy Between Them.
