CURTISS SAVED
BAD COLLISION
THE AMERICAN AVIATOR BY
SKILL AND QUICK WIT PRE-
VENTED DISASTER IN
MID-AlR.

Rheims, Aug. 20.-The American
aviator, Glenn H Curtiss, at sundown
yesterday added a dramatic feature to
the trial flights of aeroplanes entered
for the contests of aviation week, by
skillfuliy guiding his machine above
another aeroplane and averting a COL
lision in the air that seemed immi-
Ment. The feat was accomplished
when for the first time in history
heavier than air craft were maneuver-
ing at the same time. All were fiy
ing rapidly, when suddenly Curtiss
saw M, Dumanset in an anternette
monoplane approaching at right an
fles and on the same level with him.
AS quick as a flash Curtiss realized
the danger and elevated his planes,
HIS machine instantly shot upward
and scared safely over the Frenchman.
Thousands of spectators who lined the
aerodrome watched the maneuver with
bated breath but when they saw 1t sue
cessfulIy and brilliantly carried out
they applauded the American wildly
The third machine in the air at this
time was that of M. Tissandier.
Experts tonight were agreed that
Curtiss had made a fine demonstra-
tion of his swill and ability to con-
troll his machine.
The altitude reached by him was
one hundred and fifty feet, fifty feet
higher than any of the others. Bier
let came out on the field with. his mon
oplane. but darkness prevented his
making a fight. Curtiss tonight join
ed other experts in a statement to the
effect that AVIATION is a fine weather
sport, but that people must not expect
flights to be made in all sorts of
weather. Personally Curtiss said he
did not intend to take any chances.
He has decided not to enter the pas
senger carrying tests, as he has no
hope of defeating Bleriot in 1t. He
intends instead, to devote himself to
speed contests.

POOR man CANNOT HUNT
State Official FIays New La~-Asssrts
1t Was Passed to Stop Labor Day
Hunting.

James Drummond, chief deputy state
auditor of Minnesota, comes out with
the fiatfooted statement that the. new
game law was passed by the opulent
to stop hunting on Labor day. Mr.
Drummond dearly loves to hunt and
says he believes in giving every man
rich and poor, chance for at least
few days every season, but he is
convinced that the change in the law
was made through influence of we'll
to-do persons.
Formerly when the season opened
on the first OF the month, our office
issued hundreds Of hunters licenses on
the Saturday before Labor day. Work
ing men availed themselves of the OPP
portunity to hunt during Sunday and
Monday. But now they have been
robbed of this chance by legislative
enactment"
