Indianapolis, Ind, Ang., 1.-Two
lives were lost and two records
broken during the Inauguration Of

a Knox car in the ESQ mile rae and
Harry Holcomb, his mechanic were

speed.

powered Benz, covered a mile in forty

and Louis Chevrolet in a Buick ne
gotiated ten miles in the marvellous
time of 1855 40, cutting Oldfield's
time of 9:12. Both of these are
new American track marks.

NOT ENOUGH SPACE IN AIR.
American Aeriaiist Lifts AeropIane
Over Frenchman's Airship.

Rheims, Aug. 19.-The American
aviator Glenn H. Curtiss at shutdown
today added a dramatic feature to
the trial flights or the a%eroplanes en-
tered for the contests of aviation
week by skillfully guiding his ma
chine above another aeroplane and
avertin ga collision in the air that
seemed imminent.
The feat was accomplished when,
for the first time in history, many
heavierthan-air craft were maneuver-
ing at the same time. All were flying
rapidly when suddenly Curtiss saw
NJ. Dumanset in an Anternette mono
plane approaching at right angles and
on the same level with him. AS quick
as a flash, Curtiss realized the danger
and %elevating his planes, his machine
instantly shot upward and scared
safely over the Frenchman. Thou
sands of spectators who lined the
aerodrome watched the aneuv
with bated breath, but when they
saw it successfully and brilliantly car
ried out, they applauded the Ameri-
can wildly. The third machine in the
air at this time was that of NJ. Tissan-
der.
Experts tonight were agreed that
Curtiss had made a fine demonstra-
ton of his skill and ability to con-
troll his machine. The altitude reach
ed by him was n hundred and fifty
feet, fifty feet higher tina many of the
other. Bleriot came out on the field
with his monoplane but darkness
prevented his making a flight. Curtiss
tonight Joined the other experts in s
statement to the effect that aviation
is fine weather sport but that the pee
pie must not expect the flights to b
made in all sorts of weather.

In the first place the steam shovel
company presented petition asking
for the abandoning of Union, Perry,
Liquori and Parnell streets. These
public highways are located jus.
south of the old Erie switch and
west of David street. They are ap-
parently OF no practical use and the
recent purchase of all the lands bor-
dering upon them, by the shovel
company, makes their existence very
unnecessary. The petition was ac-
cepted by council, ordered placed on
record and the clerk was instruct
ed to advertise it for a period OF
six weeks as required by law.
An ordinance to vacate an alley
running from Williams street on the
east side OF lot NO 81. was presented
by the attorneys for the steam shovel
company. With the exception OF one
lot. No. 81. the shovel company has
purchased all the land south OF Will

company has been unable to secure
at any price and consequently it has
been decided to build around the
property. The ordinance was pass

BISHOP OF LONDON
BELIEVES IN STAGE

London, July 3.-Dr. Temple, the bishop
of London, has declared himself to be
a playgoer, and coupled the stage with the
church as one of the most powerful in
fluences on the life of London.
The bishop was presiding at the annual
meeting of the Actors Orphanage fund,
held at the Playhouse Around him were
Sir Squire Bancroft. George Alexander,
Cyril Maude. Edward Terry, Miss Lillian
Braithwaite Miss Compton, Miss Eva
Moore, Huntley Wright, Lyn Harding and
other members of the acting profession.
Looking around London said the
bishop, there. are two things which
see and which l name as the two most
powerful influences In London upon the
life of the people, and those two are the
church and the stage.
''Some people here may say the stage
and the church, but l will not argue
that.
Sometimes certainly it is true that the
stage doors are crowded when the church
doors are empty
The bishop added that he wanted those
two great powers to work more closely to-
gether. 1t seemed to him that 1t was
