BROOKINS IS FORGED TO LAND Fails to Break Record in Long Distance Flight. WIND STRONG AGAINST HIM Did Not Carry Sufficient Oil for Trip From Chicago to Springfield and Was Compelled to Stop and Replen- ish His Supply—People Crowd the Streets of the Towns Over Which He Passed in His Flight. Chicago, Sept. 3).—Brookins re- sumed his flight from Gilman at 12:42 p. m. Wilbur Wright, who overtook Brookins at Gilman in the special train, predicted his pupil would com- plete his journey without another stop. Brookins passed over Ridgeville, five miles from Gilman, at 12:51, and Thawville, nine miles from Gilman and eighty-nine miles from Chicago, at 1 p. m., covering the nine miles in eighteen minutes. He was flying high at about 2,000 feet. Chicago, Sept. 30.—Aviator Walter Brookins failed in his attempt to make a continuous flight of 186 miles from Washington park, Chicago, to Springfield, I1l., by descending at Gil man, Ill, seventy-five miles from his starting point. The descent, in a measure, had been provided for, as the aviator did not carry a sufficient amount of fuelj to fight the brisk wind which blew across his path the greater part of the journey. ‘Wilbur Wright, who was a passen ger on the special train following the aviator, overtook his pupil at Gilman and assisted in the preparations for the resumuption of the flight. He pre dicted that Brookins would reack Springficld without making ancther descent. Breokins descended easily in a field 290 ya rom the Illinois Central sta tion at Gilm:n, wh he awaited the arrival of Mr. W who was car rying the nec The specia train left the n at 12:07 with Mr ‘Wright aboard, Breookins not resum ing his fiignt until thirty-four minutes later. Thoroughly Enjoys Trip. Brookins said he had enjoyed the trip, that he was not in the least fa tigued and that the biplane was work: ing smoothly. He anticipated no dif- ficulty in reaching Springfield without a further descent. The aeroplane had maintained an average heic™t of about a thousan feet, from which the aviator could plainly hear the shouts of the people crowding the streets of the towns over which he passed. In practically all of the towns along the route business was entirely sus- pended as the air machine passed above them. Schoolhouses were de- serted. Brookins started at 9:23 a. m. in the Wright biplane “Hawk.” A hun- dred thousand persons clustered about the starting place and cheered the air mariner on his way. His destination was the state fair grounds at Springfield and his object the winning of the Chicago Record- Herald prize of $10,000. Brookins said that he intended to sail high to avoid the treacherous air currents. In the fifty-four-mile run from Chi- cago to Kankakee of the Illinois Cen- tral special train following Aviator Brookins no trace had been seen of the man attempting the record break- ing flight from Chicago to Springfield. As the train passed stations bulletins telling of the flight were thrown inta the windows. STIMSON HEADS THE TICKET Nominees of New York Republican State Convention. Saratoga, N.

Stillwater, Minn., Sept. 30.—Lynmn Carroll, note teller, Second National bank, St. Paul; his wife; Mrs. Chris- tine Carroll, his mother, and Mrs. Elizabeth Deardortf, Stillwater, nar rowly escaped drowning in the St. Croix river. i The party was cruising in Mrs. Christine Carroll’s launch, with Mrs. Lynn Carroll at the tiller, when the boat struck a pile. The boat upended, but did not capsize, and all the occu- pants were thrown into the water. Mr. Carroll pulled the women to the boat side and rescued his infant by placing the child in the boat. Calls for help were heard by ‘the crew of the steamer Boss passing down stream. Assistance was dis- patched and all members of the party, nearly exhausted, were rescued.

St. Louis, Sept. 30.—Kneeling in the midst of a bonfire which she had made of pages of religious books and maga- zines and saturated with coal oil by her own hands, Mamie McCarthy, eighteen years old, slowly burned to death in the rear of her home while she prayed. She died at the city hos- pital an hour later. g The girl’s action was not a sudden inspiration. She apparently had wait- ed until an unguarded moment to car- ry out her fanatical act. The bible, magazines and papers with which she made the bonfire were taken from a center table in the living room, where she had been sewing. GEORGE W. PATTEN DEAD Millionaire Grain Operator Victim of Tuberculosis. Chicago, Sept. 30.—George W. Pat- ien, millionaire grain operator, who died of tuberculosis at the home of his brother, James A. Patten, in Ev- enston, made bequests by which a great portion of his $5,000,000 estate is given to charity. Just who the ben- eficiaries are will not be known until Mr. Patten’s will is made public.

GREAT SUFFERING RESULTS Business at Naples Suspended Be- cause of Cholera.

Muhlhausen, Germany, Sept. 30.— Aviator Flochmann, who was injured when his biplane collapsed at a height of 150 feet, is dead without recovering consciousness. No Pure Water. Owing to the extremely solvent pow- ers, pure water is never found in na- ture, the nearest approach being found in rainwater, which, as it is formed in the upper regions of the atmosphere. is the purest that nature supplies, but in descending it brings with it what- ever impurities are floating near the surface, which in the neighboerhood of cities are always numerous; bence per- fectly pure water is hardly to be found, even the artificially distilled being only approximately so.
