WILBUR WRIGHT CIRCLES
 STATUE OF LIBERTY
First Aviator to Pilot Air Machine Around Mammoth
 Figure at Bedloe Island Making Complete Circuit
Flight Consumed But Seven Minutes, Aeroplane Moving
 at Terrific Speed in Gentle Breeze that Prevailed Immigrants at Ellis Island Alarmed at Strange Sight

on the island and the sight of the strange machine in the air caused alarm to them until the interpreters told them what was going on. Wright kept on over toward Bedloe Island and at 1922 he made a complete circle of Miss Liberty, starting back at once to the testing ground where he land- ed on the exact spot from which he had started at 10:25 The aviator was given an enthusiastic reception on his return by the boats in the har- bor but he himself remained undis- turbed.
 Conditions for flying were ideal at Governors Island to-day. A lazy breeze swept across the waters of the upper bay without force enough to straighten out the national colors as they dragged from the fagpole in front of the Commandant's cottage.
 Both Curtiss and Wright were early on hand, and going to their sheds with in which their winged machines were stored, they declared that there was no reason for delay but that the. first flights would be attempted. They stated, however, that no extraordin- ary feats would be tried to-day but that the time would be devoted to setting their machines properly tuned up so that the regular program set forth for tomorrow and the remain der of the week, including flights up the Hudson river as far as Grants Tomb or farther can go on.
 Curtis was the first one up but his flight was of short duration and, he did not go over the water. He swung around the filled in ground south of the proving ground and, finding that his machine was running all right, came back to the shed. It was ex- p1ain&d that he would not try to go out across the water until the pom toons which had been attached to his craft could be changed for others that had proven their worth when it was necessary to aligi1t in the water.
 Wright ran his machine out of the shed soon after 8 o'clock and it was soon in shape for a flight He gave the word at S:45:30 and almost before the spectators realized it the aero plane was in the air. The Ohio man made two complete circles of the test ing ground and then started at a height ranging from 35 to 50 feet. Finding that his machine was running magnidcently he swung it eastward across the island and out over the mouth of the East River The big aeroplane was ploughing it's way through the air at very fast rate of speed and piloted by it's inventor it turned northward the Battery wall which was lined with spectators.

Special from United Press.)

New York, Sept 29-Wilbur Wright sircled the Statue of Liberty in his aeroplane to-day Starting from Gov ernor's Island he sailed through the air around Ellis Island where his man. euvers threw many, immigrants there almost into mysteries, thence over Bedloe Island where he made a con- pIete circle of the statue after which he sailed back to Governors Island, landing exactly on the same spot as he started from. The flight consumed but seven minutes, the aeroplane nov ing at terrific speed in the gentle breeze that prevailed.
 When he landed Wright declared that he considered he had made a good flight "f don't think was lower than 75 feet or higher than 1O0," re declar- ed, "and I circled the Statue at a dis have gone closer. The machine work ed perfectly and went forty miles an hour going out while coming back with the wind behind me I figure l got up to AS miles an hour"
 In landing one of the thin supports of the plane was snapped but Wright declared 1t would only take a couple of hours to repair 1t.
 Wright has won the distinction of being the first aviator to pilot an air machine around the mammoth nSur0 of Liberty when he arrived here he stated that this would be one of his flrst objects. <
 He made his initial flight about the bay to-day, however, without attempt ing the feat and it was believed he had decided to reserve the performance until it could be made part of a regu-' lar program. The fact that he had been in the air, however, attracted an enormous fleet of, excursion craft to the upper bay while the Jersey and Manhattan shores were crowded by the curiosity seekers.
 Under the stimulus of this vast au- dience the quiet Ohioan decided to try his second flight of the day and at 1O:18 he arose swiftly into the air from the landing place at army head quarters. His motor was working like a charm and he turned his machine toward the Satien Island shore down in the bay. He did not go far in that direction however, as he described a giant half-circ1e and sent his craft over toward Ellis Island the inspec- tion and landing place of the millions of immigrants who have landed on American shores.
 There were a great many foreigners

Vote on Early Closing Indications that Hartford Voters Have Only Advis- ory Powers.

Hartford, Sept. 29.-Considerab1e dis cussion has been raised as to the ef- feet of a vote by the electors of Hart ford on the hour at which saloons shall be closed. Apparently the effect of the action of the court of Common Council Monday night was to ask for an expression of opinion by the voters at the city meeting next April.
 Without reference to the hour fixed, the new statute would indicate that a vote would not be binding on the au- thorities, though it is not likely that a council, elected wholly or in part at the same meeting, would act con- trary to the wishes of a majority of the electors,

VACCINATED
 CHILDREN DIE
 OF LOCKJAW
Cases Reported By Press Despatches from Hart ford, Everett and Phila- delphia.

The press reports for September show the usual number of deaths from lockjaw following vaccination. Three recent cases are reported from Hart ford, Everett, Mass, and Philadelphia. The victim in each case is a child. Tetanus is a disease of the stable. The germs of the malady are usually found where cattle are harbored. Vaccine virus is usually taken from sores caused by the inoculation of calves with the virus. and the tetanus germs are present in the vaccine taken.

DIED OF LOCKJAW
 FOLLOWING VACCINATION.
(From waltham. (Mass.) News)

(F.rom Waltham, (Mass.) News.)
 Everett, Sept. 17.--While the dead body of Edward Dillon, G. son of Michael Dillon of 27 Spring street, is being carefully watched oversby the child's parents prior to it's burial to- day the whole city is stirred by the death. which prominent physicians say is due directly or indirectly to vac cination.
 The child was vaccinated a, little over two weeks ago and vaccinated unwillingly. The boy had to go to school and necessarily had to be vac cinated.
 The work was done by Dr. Clifford Harrington of Chelsea street, who used the regular vaccine points. The boy was taken violently i'll Sunday with an attack of tetanus. while playing in the backyard. About two weeks is the time generally noted for the appear ance of lockjaw after the engendering of the cause.
 The childs stiffening terrified people in the house, who ran far and wide for physicians. Dr. Harrington, who performed the vaccinating did not see the child at this time, but Dr. T. w. Clark and Dr. P. J. Conroy did. It was the latter who diagnosed the case as lockjaw.
 Discussing the case Dr. Conroy said: s'I surely think the child died of lock jaw, and I think this was due directly or indirectly to the vaccination The child's case was perfectly clear to any one who saw the boy as I did between 6 D. rn and 10 when the boy died. The body was perfectly rigid.''
