Wind Stops Work.


The trip OF Prof Wilbur Wright to
New York on private business didn't
interfere with the Government School
Of Aviation at College Park. The guy
wire broken in the last flight hester
day didn't interfere either. However,
the ffteen- mile-an-hou wind which
was blowing this morning was an en-
tirely eTectual barrier TO the air
work of the Wright pupils.
The broken wire was repaired IN a
few minutes this morning, a little
solder and a hot iron making II look
like new.
The pupil aviators, lieuteSants
Lahm, Humphreys and Foulols, were
all ready TO go out and start TO

MUCH INTEREST IN
 FIELD TRIAL CLUB

The Southern Field Trial club, which was organized in Montgomery March 20, has grown larger in membership during the past week. Great enthusiasm is be- ing manifested not only in Alabama, but throughout the entire country over the trials of the elub which will be held near Montgomery next December.
 Commenting editorially upon the organ ization of the Southern Field Trial club, the American Field of Chicago today says;
 "The ranks of the field trial clubs in the United States have received a most impor- tant addition in the Southern Field Trial club, which was organized in Montgom- cry, Ala, on March 20, and which Is des- tined to assume position among the stel- lar lights in the field trial Armament The newly organized club starts out under the most suspicious conditions, it's member ship list containing the names of many prominent sportsmen, and it is especially to be congratulated upon the high stand ing and capabilities of the officials select ed The purpose of the organizers has been to form a club national in it's scope, and the equal in every respect of the greatest clubs in the country, and though the aim is high in the vernacular of the day, there is no doubt they will make good
 The location selected for the first an- nual trials is a splendid one. The date selected, coming as it does between the Georgia and Mississippi trials, fills hiatus and will add strength to the en- tries in those clubs.

SPORT OF KINGS
 FINDS 4 WELCOME
 ON MEXICAN SOIL

Los Angeles, March 2s.-The tentative plans for the formation of racing circuit in Mexico, the cost of which will be ap- proximately s10OO,O00, took on tangible form when Charles Koerner, representing the promoters, laid before the Mexican officials the architectural plans of the prcpC sed four tracks for approval. That the same will be approved of and accept el Is almost foregone conclusion.
 Thus is a new epoch marked In the buffeteo. probably maligned, sport of kings" It marks the entree in the sport of people who in business enterprises for the past 20 years have been known as thrifty, ambitious and whose honesty is above reproach. Furthermore it marks the begir ming of the end of the scum, the rlfr-laff and the element that has been instrun ental in precipitating the present reform" wave-the legislating of horse racing from out of almost every state in the union.
 Wi,h the financial as well as the moral support of the better element, those whq have been thoroughly identified with the upbuilding and growth, not to mention the prospt rity of Mexico, 1t can easily be seen what an attractive adjunct, especially 
 prove in it's new home. True, the sport has been tried down there before. but only in a half-hearted way. Then, too, those back of these attempts were more or less of the thing stamp of person those who believed in the old axin, Milk the COW whenever youn get chance
 Under the proposed regime of Manager Matt Vim, a clean, wholesome business man of Louisville, and president of the American Turf association, all this is changed. Vim, who it is said, has the financial support of James Butler, the n!rlt-millionaire New Yorker, and owner of the Empire City course, situated at Yoi kers N. Y, has ample capital back Of him to float the enterprise; in fact, he has given bonds to the Mexican govern- ment to the value of upward of $250,0O0.
 In return the Mexican government has granted the new racing syndicate a fran chise, exclusive, covering period of 20 years and which covers nearly every val uable or desirable racing locality. The financial support from the Mexican gov ernment is also considerable, or, to be more explicit, subsidy of S250,000, to be distributed in sums of S25,O00 each year and covering a period of 10 years, has been set aside. The first draw on this fund will take place in 1910, when S26,00O in gold will be hung up for the running of the Mexican derby, and which will be decided at Mexico City
 Under the terms of the agreement Man aser Winn is to have one racing plant ready for occupancy by next December It is MT. Wlnn's intention of building the one at Juarez first, with the others at Mor terey, Chihuahua and Mexico City to follow in quick order. Guadalajara is aIyo included in the embodiments of the franchise.

DEATH IS BUT
 ETERNAL SLEEP"
So Declares Negro Murderer In Note to Wife Before He Strangles
 Himself to Death.

New York, March 2S.-James Vango, a young negro, who after his arrest in Chicago confessed that he had murdered Isadore de Valiant, night clerk in the Eastern hotel here. for the purpose of robbery. strangled himself in his cell in the Tombs prison early today.
 Vango used method to encompass his death which required almost Spartan courage. He twisted a handkerchief around his neck and after tying 1t secure ly. frightened it with a small piece of lead pencil which he used as a tourni- quet, until it closed his windpipe. He then threw himself on the cot, placed his hands under his abdomen, buried his face in the pillow and waited for death.
 With the same pencil he had previously written two notes of farewell, one to his wife and the other to Detective James Murphy, who captured him in Chicago
 To his wife he wrote this brief line:
 Dear Wife:-Death Is but eternal sleep; why should 1 stay and suffer? Forgive me. JIM. .'
 His note to Detective Murphy was a practical admission of the crime of which he is charged.
 De Valiant was murdered early in the morning of March 15. The hotel till had been rified, De Vallants watch and money were gone, and the safe had been tempered with. Vango, who had been a porter in the hotel, disappeared about the time of the crime, and was suspected. Detective Murphy found him in Chicago. Vango confessed he had planned the mur- der but said that the killing was done by two accomplices
