THREE DIRIGIBLES IN ACTION Successful Flights by Knabenshue, Beachy and Baldwin. GREAT CROWD IS THRILLED Four Hundred Thousand Persons See m in Forest Park-— t Teaches Army Officers. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 7.—Glenn H. Curtiss, who won international honors In aviation at Rheims, France, made three aeroplane flights here today. One was more than a quarter of a milo and the shortest of the three was about 220 yards. This was wit- nessed by a throng of 400,000 persons, who waited for hours in Forest park to see an aeroplane in action. Curtiss' last performance of the day was cut short by his engine failing when he was about twenty-five feet from the ground The machine glided to an irregular landing place and a rudder guy snapped. Efforts to mend it before darkness were unavalling. The noted aviator said the machine would be ready for service tomorrow. In the flights today Curtiss used a biplane Wit a Z-horse power motor. Few people witnessed the first two flights, as the morning mist was still undispelled. A stift wind this afternoon delayed him until dusk. George Francols Osmont, who is here with the Farman biplane which won the endur- ance prize at Rhelme, attempted three times at dusk to satisty the crowd that he could fly. He circled the field several times, but not fast enough to enable him to leave the ground. His disappointment was clearly expressed In his fac A monoplane bullt -on the lines of Lath- am's machine by U. A. Robinson of St Louls was also brought out, but the motor falled to develop suffielent power and no attenipt was made to g0 Into the air. Three Dirigibles Fly. The really successful navigators of the alr were Roy Knabenshue, Lineoin Beachey and Thomas Baldwin, in dirigibles. The last made an extended flight, when motor trouble overcame him and he was forced to land In the erowd. His second fiigit, after repairs had been made, was grected with great applause. Knabenshue, however, was the favorite with the growd. He and Beachey thrilled the spectators by mounting simultaneously and flying two miles sid-py-side. Knaben- whue lett Beacliey's airship in the rear when the jatters motor beckme *overheated. Knabenshue then swept out over the park in a great eircle, amid cheers. 1t ‘was anriounced tonight the Curtiss and Osmont will make flights tomorrow, and it 18 expected Robinson will make another trial The crowd which witnessed the flights was the greatest the street car company has carried to Forest Park since the World’s fair. The space allotted to the cen- tennial week visitors was densely packed and Art hill was black with spectators. Wright Teaches Army Officers. COLLEGE PARK, Md., Oct. 7.—No flight was attempted today by Wilbur Wright, who Is instructing the officers of the signal corps in the practical use of the Wrignt aeroplane. The entire day was spent by Mr. Wright in tinkering with the machine and explain- ing its manipulation to the student officers. The starting derrick was erected, but the monorall was not placed in correct position for a flight. No time has been set for ine tirst flight Square Mile of New York City is Shaken Up Series of Explosions in Sewers In- jures Number of Persons and Causes Panics. —— NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Nearly & square mile of the middle West Side was shaken Iate this afternoon by a series of explosions, whieh blew manhole covers high into the air in orowded thoroughfares, injured several persons, did considerable damage to prop- erty nd caused & moment of sharp panic. Alarms of fire were turned in, the police reserves turned out and factory employes, shopkeepers and tenement dwellers rushed 10 the open streets. Seven-year-old Emil Miller was standing on & manhole cover when the first rumble came, He and the cover shot up ten feet nd Emil came down aoout a foot from the manhole, out of which flames were wring. He was badly bumned about the face and body and taken unconscious to a hospitai, where It was sald that his con- dition was serious. Large windows of many stores were shat- tered and half a dozen people were seri- ously cut by flylng glass, while hundreds had narrow escapes to relate. The total damage will probably amount to about £10,000. The police explain the explosion by the accidental fgnition of sewer gas mixed with gasoline vapor from the waste from the garages In the nelghborhood less wmoker, they think, cast stub Into & sewer opening. DURUM WHEAT DAY IN NORTH DAKOTA Are Eating This Variety of n to Help Out Graim Growers. GRAND FORKS.'N. D., uect. 7.—In com- pllance with & proclamation of Governor Burke, most North Dakotans are toda: eating durum wheat only. The proclama- tion was issued In compliance with a re- quest of the grain growers of North and south Dakota and Minnesota for the pur- pose of establishing durum as bread grain The day Is being gencrally observed throughout the state. All bread and wheat foods are made of durum and the sales of a lighted People G | nected with the Armour company, “but at Missing Bowers is Located 1n Fort Francis Late Head of Armour's South Omaha Plant Was Loth to Admit Identity. rge W.

An Omaha officlal of the Armour com- pany said Thursday evening: “Mr. Bowers' accounts with the house are absolutely O K.; In fact he has no account, being an executive officer. We learned that his mother, living in Chicago, had not heard from him in four weeks, and so this after- noon we sent her word that her son is alive and well, to end her worry." No one at this time knows just what reason inspired Mr. Bowers to adopt the strange course he has pursued. When he requested a leave of absence for two weeks ostensibly to attend to some mining claims in which he was interested in northern California, no one had any other impres- sion than that he was going to do just what he said, combine a business trip with rest and recreation. He had been aot- ing manager at the South Omaha plant since early in the summer and his duties had been quite onerous, making it the most natural thing in the world that he should seek a vacation. “We may have somehing more to say of this affair later on” said a man con- present the public must rest content with the finding of Bowers alive and well.” Next River Convention to St. Paul issippi Improvement Asso- GRAIN DEALERS TALK GRADING National Association Takes Long Step Toward Adoption of Uni- form Rules. CHICAGO MEN MAKE DEMANDS Certain Material Concessions Made to Board of Trade. FIVE POINTS ARE REFUSED Request for Changes in Test Weights of Wheat Turned Down. Points of Dif- ference and Report Comprom- ise Propo : n Next INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 7—The Grain Dealers' National assoclation convention here today made a great stride toward uniform grading of grains. By coneeding tome of the demands made by the Chicago grain men for changes in the grain grades draft adopted at the St. Louls convention last vear, the grain men have finally adopted uniform rules grading for corm, oats, barley and rye, and adopted the Kan- sas City, Chicago and Southwestern market srades on milo and kaftir corn. They also made some material concessions by grant- ing part of the Chicago men's demands for changes in wheat tests. There were, however, five demands made by the Chicago grain men for changes in wheat gradings, that were not granted. Steps were taken to bring an agreement on these five points of difference by the authorization of a strong committee of five, which will call a conference with the Tilinofs, Minnesota, Missourl and Kansas state commission and prominent board of trade. At this meeting an effort will be made to get an agreement on these five grades of wheat. The first of the refusals was of the demand of the Chicago grain men to raise the test weight of No. 2 white winter wheat from fifty-six to fifty-seven pounds. Another denial was of the demand that No. 2, 3 and 4 hard winter wheat may contain a maximum of 2% per cent red winter ‘wheat. The national convention refused to raise the test weight of No. 1 hard spring wheat from fifty-elght to fifty-nine pounds and ciation Will Meet in Home City.

Headed by General Morton, commander of the Department of the Missourl, and his staff and the Board of Governors of Ak-Sar-Ben, the long blue line paraded the pavements, turning its way into main thoroughfares and by-streets in order that | all the populace might be able to witness the glory of the military organization of the nation. It was, indeed, an impressive sight. The procession was marred but by one | condition and that was the heavy wind that blew clouds of dust on the specta- tors, but even this did not keep the public at home. The streets were simply jammed, Windows and ledges of the bullding and every other vantage point along the line of march were filled with sightseers. Small boys climbed telegraph poles and lamp- posts In order to make sure of seeing the soldiers. The residence districts of the city were practically abandoned during the hours of the parade and most of the stores closed their doors In order that thelr clerks might join the great throng of spectators. The schools declared a half holiday and the little folks were among the most in- terested of the thousands. | ( Crowds Surge Into Streets.
