YOUTH FLAGS "PENNSY" FLYER
TELLS STORY OF ATTEMPT TO
WRECK THE TRAIN.
Finally Confesses to Falsehood
Wanted to Be Hero or Get
Reward for Warning.

LEWISTON, Pa. October 1S.-The
Pennsylvania railroads eighteen-hour
flyer from New York to Chicago was
halted at 9:25 o'clock last night at Juni-
alta bridge, a lonely spot sixteen miles
west of Harrisburg. by the swinging OF

train came to q standstill John Kretzin-
ger. seventeen years old. living at Dun
cannon. near here, walked UP to the loco
motive and reported to Engineer Harry
Greenwood that two men, heavily armed,
had forced him at the point of revolver
to carry heavy rocks on the tracks for
the purpose Of wrecking the train. He
gave a description of the men, and said
he watched his chance and ran across
the tracks and tagged the train IN time
to prevent an accident.
The members Of the train crew investi-
gated, but were unable to find any rocks
on the tracks. and the boy was taken to
Duncannon, where he was examined by
Capt c.. c. Port of the Pennsylvania
railroad police. The boy finally broke
down and confessed that he alone was
responsible for the stopping of the train.
The police say the boy had been read
ing cheap literature and had tagged the
train either to make himself hero or
to receive q reward from the company
for saving the train. He is being held
for fur her investigation.
Kretzinger Is a son of Frank kretzin-
ger of Duncannon. and has always borne
q good reputation.

VINO TOO STRONG FOR TRIAL
WRIGHT AERoPLANE AND IN
sTRUCToR REST TODAY.
Morning at College Park Spent by
Mr.. Wright and Pupils In
Studying Levers.

A ten-mile-an-hour wind blowing
across the testing ground at College Park
prevented any attempts at flight in the
Wright aeroplane this morning. and the
army officers receiving instruction from
Wilbur Wright were forced to spend the
morning In practical idleness. The ma
chine was taken to the monorail and
preparations were made Tor flight The
wind was SO strong, however, that 1t was
decided not to make an attempt to send
up the machine.
1t was wheeled back to the shed. where
the morning was put in going over the
levers. II the wind dies down late this
afternoon the machine will be sent up
Several Hundred at Trial.
There was a crowd of several hundred
at the flight in the afternoon yesterday
The day had been unpromising, but to,
ward sunset the wind died down and close
to $50 o'clock Mr.. Wright decided that
q flight could be made. The breeze at this
time was less than four miles an hour
Only about $50 pounds of weights were
used, and with the falling of this amour,
to give q start to the machine, the aero
plane went into the air with Mr.. Wright
as the operator and Lieut.. Humphreys Al
the passenger.
1t was question at first among the
spectators as to whether the aeroplant
would rise. as it went fully 200 feet from
the end of the rail, almost brushing the
ground, before the upward start was
made. The teacher did not fly very high
keeping from ten to thirty feet above the
field. Three big circles of the grounds
were made at a speed Of about forty
miles per hour and then a descent was
made close to the starting rail.
The total time in the air was eight
minutes. Both the aviators were thor.
oughly chilled. for the weather turned
cold as the sun went down. but Lieut.
Humphreys rubbed his hands and de-
clared that the trip was even better thar
the first ride he had taken. Mr.. Wright
looked cold and said nothing.
