VoL LIL.—NO. . 254 THE AIR FILLED WITH MAN-BIRDS)| Cebled Third Day of the International Aviation Meet at Belmont Park NEW AMERICAN RECORD FOR ALTITUDE J. Armstrong Drexel Reaches Height of 7,105 Feet—Evo- lutions of the Dipping, and Intricate that the Spectators Could Not Follow Them—Racing Models Never Before Seen in America New York, ( 24—The third day of the international aviation meet a¥ Relmont Park, L.I, made up for all the cold and disappointment of the wo days. A new American rec- for altitude was set down to the it of J. Armstrong Drexel, and setition in the other events | times a thing of delight, full action and peauty. The air fummed with the buzz of the pping, dancing craft and their in- ssant evolutions were so swift and tricate that the spectators could not follow them and even the official scor- prompted from the judges stand the tabulators and = timekeepers, zged behind. Drexel Soars 7,106 Feet. Drexel soared for altitude n his rd flight at just 3.40 p. m., five ites before the second hourly alti- st closed.

This ma- chine was taken by everybody for the new *“Wright single surface machine” hoecause of its fine Grawn lines and smaller planes and it was not v nightfall that Wilbur Wright admit- ted that the real racer was still on its way from Dayton, . and was not ex- pected here until tomorrow. His Engine Stopped Dead. Hrookins went up 4.§52 , wecord- % to the barograph, and won the .~cond altitude homors for the day. At & apex of his climb his engine, which #ad given him some troubls before, rtopped dead, with both the propellers yointing straight up into the air, o that in gMding to the earth with no power on, they afforded him the least ®ssistance in breaking the rush of his 1 descent. i He came down whizzing, about a le and a half off the course, and siruck with & bump which broke his forward landing skid. The damage “was insignificant, however, and he was not hurt In the least. Flier Models Never Before Seen Here. Next to the performance of Drexel the crowd took most enjoyment 4n the appearance of models never seen in America before. These debutentes of the alr curtseyed to the grandstand befors crossing the stariing line and ~vent off on thelr first round of the course. They were the new Wright climber used by Brookins in his alti- tude flight; & tiny Demoiselle, called the humming-bird of aeroplanes, but it looks more like a butterfly; and a fiving fish Antoinetts. Ten Machines Aloft at Once. In ali thers were ten machines aloft wt onee, all in spirited rivalry, Amer- icans had never seen anything like it and exclamations of admiration and vawiiderment were on every hand, but the more blase followers of the sport sald that in the first international seet at Rheims thers had been 17 in ihe air at omce Latham, whose name has been as- #oimted so closely with the develop- ment of the Antoinette, piloted the tieklish craft. Tie sat well back in the enarp stem, shaped like the stem of a #peed launch, with which it cuts the Dancing Craft were So Swift air, and the two wheels with which he controls the long slender wings could | be seen incessantly turning backward |and forward undev his hands. The crdit was fast, and it was particularly noted that he bankad the turns with a precision and daring that the Bleriot | monoplanes could not attain. New Curtis and Wright Racing Models Not Seen. What the new Curtiss and Wright racing models can do is a conjecture. They have been kept close under cover, but thus far none of the American machines has shown itself in the same class with the foreign monoplanes. There was one time thds afternoon when Latham in an Antoinette passed a Wright machine at the turn, while Ridley ofllowed and passed the An- toinette in the stretch. The Day’s Programme. The programme for the day went through by the card, and the events called off yesterday because of the gale were postponed to a later day. The hourly distance and altitude gvents were first. J. Armstrong Drexel took first place in the initial distance event | with 28 laps (70 kilometers or miles) in 54 minutes” 33 3-5 Second: Auburn was second with 25 laps. Johnstone in a Wright biplane was third with 21 la eary, whereas Drexel and Auburn in their Bleriot monoplanes had started late, overhaulted and passed him. He ‘had started | In the same hour Count De Lesseps | in a Bleriot won the hgurly altitude | prize with an elevation of 5,615 feet. Brookins was second in his unlucky flight. In the second hour Latham,who started late, overhaulted his competi- tors and when time was called was credited with 21 laps. There was confusion, not only among the spectators, but also in the juoges’ stand, as to just how the altitude for the second hour should be reckoned. Brookins was understood to be entered | for hour No. 2 in altitude, though he had left the ground in hour No. 1. Drexel, also up for altitude, started when only flve minutes of the hour re- mained. The confusion was not clear- ed until the official results were an- nounced, more than three hours after |the close of the programme. It was then. seen that Brookins was credit=d with second place in the first hour and Drexel with first place and a new American record in the second hour. Disgruntied Frenchmen Silent. Nothing was heard today from the aisguntled Frenchmen who protested yesterday against the outer course of five kiliometers over which the Gordon Bennett International race for the tro- phy must be flown, but at the c\ose of the day, Cortland F. Bishop, president of the ‘Aero Chwb of America, and chairman of the contest committee, which has charge of the contest for the international trophy, stated jthat the rules of the International Aeronautic Federation specified nothing as to the character of the ground over which the course must be run. Hamilton on His 115 H. P. Biplane Made Circuit of Course. New York, Oct. 24—As dusk was falling, Charles K. Hamilton took out | his 11 horsepower Hamiltonian biplane and made a circuit of the course. His time for the two and one-half kilomet- ers of the inner course was 1 minute 53 2-5 seconds. His distance was actu ally much greater, however, and his| speed correspondingly higher. | One Slight Accident. | The only accident of the day occur- | red in the elimination heats of the! grand speed contest, in which McCurdy | and Mars of the Curtiss team and Fris- | ble in a maching of his own make were | entered. Frisbie fell before he had | completed two laps from a height of | ebout 25 feet, but was uninjured. In | this event McCurdy finished first in 19 | minutes 49 1-5 seconds, for ten rounds of the inner course (%5 kilometers or 115.53 miles). Mare was second in much slower time. McCurdy also made the fastest single lap in 1 minutes 551-10| seconas. i FRIMKY BRIDESMAIDS AT NEW YORK WEDDING. Difleult to Kesp Them Quiet So the | Ceremony Could Go On.

Speaker Unable to Find Out What the Democratic Nominee Thinks About the Public Utilities Bill—Rally at Naugatuck. Naugatuck, Conn.,, Oct. 24—At a largely attonded republican rally here tonight Representat George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill replied to Judge Baldwin, the democratic nominee for governor, who said in New London during the course of an address that “if Mr. Chandler had taken a twent foot ladder, climbed to the top and stood on tiptoe on the topmost run; he wouldn't have seen into the cellar of Thomas Jefferson’s mind,” by eay- ing “all of which is doubtless true, only too true. Indeed, I am never more painfully conscious of my mental lim- itations” than when I try to peer into the lower stories of Judge Baldwi mind and find out what he thin about the public utilities bill.” In his speech Mr. Chandler said: It is borne in upon me more and more how eminently fitting and proper it was that I be lectured by my demo- cratic friends on the etiquette of de- bate, for hardly a day passes In which I do not receive fresh confirmation of the delicate courtesy and consideration of my political antagonists. For ex- ample, in_his speecn at New London Judge Baldwin met my historical cita- tion of certain nighl centralized functions exarcised by as Jeffer- son and Andrew Jack when_they 0 n, were presidents of the United States | by the gracions and conclusive rejoin der that if he (Chandler) had “taken twenty-foot ladder, climbed to the top and stood on tiptoe on the topmost rung, he wouldn't have seen into the cellar of Thomas Jefferson’s mind. All of which is doubtless true—only too true! Indeed, T am never more painfully conscipus of my mental lim- itations than when I try to peer into the lower stories of Judge Baldwin's mind and find out what he thinks about the public utilitles bill. For e: ample, in his interview in the Bridge- port Post occurs an_interesting sen- tenca which reads as follow “Whether we needed public utilities commissions twenty years ago or not, we need them no and we need them carefully guarded in the interests of the people and of the corporations con- cerned alikc ” Not needed tventy years ago *Dou in the mind of Judge Baldwin, who himself at that time a_ railroad and corporation lawyer of distinction, as to whether twenty years ago this state ought to have started in to supervise its public service corporations? gentlemen, one of the chief arguments that the supporters of the utilities bill had to fight In the last session of tha legislature was the cry that we were “locking the stable after the horse has Dbeen stolen.” “Why.” porations, to rastrict and hamper we, after the big fellows have had a free hand all these years. and szotten away with the richest of the plunder?” Among the other speakers of the evening were H.

REPORT OF TIDAL WAVE Overwhelming the Island of Ischia in the of Mud and Stones from Vesuvius. Mediterranean Sea—Avalanche Naples, Oct. 24.—The island of Ischia, in the Mediteranean sea, six- teen miles southwest of the city of| Naples, has been storm swept. First reports reaching here gave a very con- siderable loss of life from a tidal wave, but the latest reports indicate that the victims are few. Collapse of Houses. Communication with the island is difficult, but brief despatches from Casamicciola state that while it is be- | lieved some persons were killed by the collapse of houses, the body of only one woman has so far been recovered. Great Damage in Naples. Naples suffered from a furious storm of wind and rain last night and all today, the damage amounting to mil- lions. Every section of the city bears the marks of the gale, and the suburbs were even more seriously affected, sev- eral persons being killed. The sur- rounding country has been devastated, great quantities of grapes, vines, trees, walls and parts of houses being scat- tered about in all directions. Avalanche of Mud from Vesuvius. An avalanche of stonss and mud rushed down Mount Vesuvius above | the lava line of the eruption of 1906. It swept all before it as far as the town of Porticfl It wrecked the tram line and engulfed nearly a score of vietims. Report of Tidal Wave not Confirmed. Up to the present there is no con- firmation of the report that Ischia suf- fered from a tidal wave or a seismatic disturbance. T was in the direct path of the hurricane wlich toppled over the houses in Casamicciola and other villages. After the earthquake in 1883 these places were repuilt with the very thinnest houses which, while admirably calculated to resist ukes, were unable to withstand the violence of the storm of the last twenty-four hours. Some Bodies Under the Debri While it is believed there ars some bodies under the debris, the very flimsy nature of the struectures probably per- mitted most of the occupants to escape death or serious injury. There Is much anxiety here, however, as many residents of Naples went to Ischia to escape the cholera. Signor Sacchi, minister of public works, and Admiral Leonardi, minister of marine, have already arrived at Naples, They will make an inspection of the district It nec the work of S0 TWO HUNDRED PERSONS DROWNED BY TiDAL WAVE Report Reaches Rome from Casamic- cola on Island of Ischia. ¥ Rome, ( —The ministry of the interior this evening received word of a tidal wave at Casamicciola on the island of Ischia that drowned two hun- dred person Communication with the island has been interrupted and | verification of the report is impossi- | ble.

Government Makes Final Attempt to Uphold Validity of the Irdictment. Harvey and Washinzton, Oc tempt of the federal hold the validity of the indictment in the New York federal courts of the Press Publishing company on a charge of libel, growing out of the publication of as article in the New York World on the purchase of the Panama canal, was made this afternoon in oral argu- ment before the supreme court of the United States. The government's ef- forts were opposed by arguments for the Press Publishing company des ed to sustain the action of the lower federal court in quashing the indict- mest. The proceedings were attended with unusual interest. Sweeping principles of law were said to be involved. Libelous statemonts, it was alleged. had been published concerning the highest officials in the land. James C. McReynolds, special assistant to the attorney general, and Delancey Nichol, opposing counsel, had long besn promi- nent in the public eye. The article in question was printed in the heat of the presidential cam- paign of 1908.- It charged that Charles P. Taft, Douglas Robinson and Wiltiam Nelson’ Cromwell, with J. Pierpont Morgan and othars, obtained control of the Panama canal route for $3.000.000 and through their intimacy with Theo- dore Roosevelt, then president of the United States,’ and Willlam H.
