9O-MILE GALE
MAKES FLIGHTS
UNLIKELY TO-DAY
Several Important Elimination
Trials Were on Program
of Days Events.
WRIGHT REAFFIRMS HIS
FAITH IN BIPLANE
French Delegate Arrives to
Settle Dispute Over Inter-
national Cup Course.

BELMONT PARK, Oct. ga thirty
mile wind sweeping across the aviation
field makes it likely that no flights will
be attempted today. Even In case
flights are attempted later in the day
the heavy wind threatens to keep the
machines Of two aviators out of the
days competitions altogether. The
pair of airmen In difficulty are A. j.
Drexel and ]. c. McCurdy, who got
lost in the gathering darkness outside
the course while competing In the
cross-country fight late yesterday af-
ternoon and were forced to land in dis
tant fields--Drexel at Rockville Centre
and McCurdy at Lynnbrook, each ap-
proximately eight miles away from the
aviation course.
The straying experts expected to take
the air and fly their machines back to
the park when daylight broke. but the
wind was too strong. J. Armstrong
Drexel was at the clubhouse during
the forenoon and said that he would
fly his machine back from Rockville.
Can Easily Fly Back.
IT landed safely In a large field from
which / can easily RISE" said Drexel
Had Drexel gone three miles further
south he would have landed In the
Great South bay, and five miles would
have brought him to the ocean.
Given any sort Of favorable aerial
conditions, today was expected to set
tie the elimination trials for the Amer
icen team in the Gordon Bennett cup
race, the, Mitchelin and Scientific
American trophies, and to witness com
petitions for the grand altitude prize
as well as more cros-country flights.
The new Wright racing fiier. which
received a tryout yesterday, was the
centre of interest today among the
early arrivals ct the course. Its inn

day. although not officially timed, was
generally credited with excelling in

Orville Wright declares complacently
that he has no fear Of the monoplanes
''The monoplane is a thing of beauty"
he says, but it lacks strength. 1t can
never be made as firm and reliable as

JERSEY CITY. oct 26.-Howard c.
Griffiths, a well-known lawyer of Jer-
sey City, also a Republican and the
man who beat George L. Record out
ats a delegate to the State convention,
makes public a statement which puts
Mr.. Record In the Ananias Club as
life member. He refers In his state
ment to eight different lies for which
Re,ord. in his judgment, is respon-
sible.
About q week ago Record intimated
that Mr.. Griflitha was under the IN
fiuence of liquor and which Grittths
refutes by stating that he never
touched liquor IN his life.
He also accuses Record of entering
into an agreement with Colonel Dick
nson by which Record obtained
enough votes to get the congressional
nomination.
1--WE VIII Mil Lie No. J."
Mr.. Grifiths's statement in part
reads,
"Record has intimated to reporter
that | was under the influence Oh
liouor when In the statement Of fact
made in the course of an after-dinner
speech at the Doscher dinner his du-
plicity and treachery were exposed
As | have never touched "a drop of IN
toxicating liquor in my life, and whlcn
ct is we'll known to my friends. we
win nail at the outset lie No. l.
Record really acknowledges the fact
that the conference between the
New Idea and Dickinson leaders was
actually held at the Republican Cluo
in New York city on the 7th inst. He
couldn't very well deny 1t. as there
were twenty-five RepublicAA leaders
| present
Record states that no deal, dlcker
or agreement was then made. except a
tentative agreement to have congress
sional campaign committee appohteo
from all factions Then. If there was
such an agreement, why did Record
the very next day, instruct Theodre L.
Bierck, its chairman, not to appoint
/ such e,mmittee, the personnel Of wnlch
was named by Record at the confer
| ence?
"The very next morning Record
summoned Rotterdam to his office and
asked Kim not to admit that they two
had come to an actual agreement re-
gardine Rotherhams committee of six,
and asked him to take the position
that it had only been tentative. Thus
Record had sold out, not only every
Dickinson man at the conference but
every one Of his own followers

that Colonel Dickinson and Record
should hand their five names to Sena-

FRENCH AVIATOR
KILLED IN FALL
AFTER LONG TRIP

PARIS, Oct. 26.-M. Blanchard. the
aviator. fell from a height of 100 feet
and was instantly killed today. The
accident occurred over the field at
Issy- les -Molineaux, where Blanchard
was attempting to descend after sue
cessful flight from Bourges.
Fernand Blanchard. M. Bregi and NJ
Bielovucci, who had participated in the
aviation meeting at Bourges, decided
to return to Paris through the air.
Bregi arrived first, having covered the
distance from Bourges to Paris in four
hours and ten minutes Blanchard was
a close second, and was lowering over
the aviation field at Issy-les- Molineaux
as though selecting convenient land
ing place when his monoplane, for
some unexplained reason, fell like a
rock. Blanchard was found dying IN
the wreckage and survived but few
moments.
M Bielovucci arrived safely.

PRUDENTIAL AGAIN
OFFERS TO PAY ON
ALL BUT RESERVE:
Despite Supreme Court Decision
Company Insists $20,OOO,-
600 Is Exempt from Tax.

The Prudential Insurance Company
today agreed, as it did one year ago
to pay all of the personal.tax assessed
against the company, except the
amount assessed on the deferred divi-
dend reserve fund, which this year
has an approximate value of 500, 900, 900
The company claims exemption on
that part of its admitted surplus under
the law of 1907. The exemption was
allowed until last year, when Mayor
Haussling and the local law and tax
departments decided 1t was property
subject to taxation the same as all
other working property.
The Prudential objected to the tax,
but the Supreme Court last week held
it was valid one. An appeal was
threatened but has not been taken
and may not be- Meantime a penalty
equal to IL per cent, with other fixed
charges, is piling up against the tax
assessed last year and not paid.
Fund Enhanced 80 Per Cent.
Twelve per cent is probably more
than the income derived from any
other part Of the corporations property
except this reserve fund" which, ac-
cording to the sworn statement of the
companys officers, enhanced in value
last year more than 40 per cent.
Today's agreement was made without
prejudice to the rights of the company
by its counsel, Edward d. Duffield, and
to by City Attorney Herbert
B.. Boggs. The amount on which the
company will pay is s9,970, ,S26.16. and
the tax will be s190,627.22, less 1 per
cent. If paid prior to November /.

FORT WILLIAM, Ont, Oct. 26.-A. G.
Guerrard, mail clerk on the Canadian
Pacific railway, running into Fort Will
lam from the East. reported on his ar
rival here last night. that while passing
Ouimette station, forty three miles east,
Lee, noticed what appeared to be the
light of balloon, which was going due
North at the height of about mile.
They took 1t to be the America IL 1t
was Visible from 7:45 until $3.50 last
night.
Mr.. Guerrard today positively as
serted that a balloon, a huge one, ;"
was seen. Not only were its lights but
its outline clearly visible. Dusk was
coming on, he related, when he no.
ticed two lights swing back and forth
In the strong breeze. That they were
not traceable to any other cause than
the presence of balloon he was sure,
because the country thereabouts is
sparsely populated, and the outlines Of
the ballon were plainly visible.
Knowing of the. search for the miss
ing balloon he sought the other train
employees to verify his story. No at
tempt was made here to find out If
passengers saw the lights, as the train
passed through To Winnipeg after a
short stop
Al the rate the balloon apparently
was travelling when seen by the three
mail clerks near Ouiinet it would have
crossed before midnight the line of the
National Transcontinental railroad, be-
yond which is relentless wilderness.
PORT Arthur, Ont, Oct. 26.--
Forest rangers in the governments em-
ploy sent word here today that a ball
loon was seen descending in a forest
between this city, which is seven miles
from Fort William, and Black Sturgeon
lake early this morning. A relief party
will be sent to find the air craft, which,
the rangers think, may be the America

GAS COMPANY IS SUED.
Insurance Companies and Publisher
Want Damages for Explosion.

A damage suit for $50, 900 against the
Consumers Light. Heat and Power
company was filed last evening in the
district court as a result of the gas ex-
plosion in the building occupied by a
morning newspaper last winter The
publisher of the paper and a score Of
Insurance companies are the plaintiffs
in the case and are represented by At
tOrney Robert stone
This is the second suit brought
against the gas company out of the
long list of disasters chalked UP to its
system OF leaking mains during the
winter months The explosion which
disabled the presses of the morning pa
per caused big blaze in the basement
of the building and caused extensive
damage by water to print paper. The
theory is advanced that the gas seeped
into the press room through telephone
conduits crossing broken and defective
gas mains.
The filing of the present suit is said
to be d fOrerunner to another in which
the city of Topeka W. charge the gas
company with the death OF c. E. Fen
son and the injury of others in the fire

The widow of Mr.. FensOn has already

WHAT is POETRY?
john Dawson Claims PessimiSIa Isn't
in Harmony With Poetry.

The discussion of a poem on Trinity
church of New York city, by Harry H
Kemp. the tramp poet of K. L, was
the feature OF the regular monthly
meeting of the Kansas Day Authors
club held last night at the home of the
president. Geo. P. Morehouse, 216 West
Eighth avenue The poem was read by
Miss Elizabeth n. Barr, editor of the
Club Member, who said that it had
been rejected by the leading magazines
TO which Kemp is a frequent con-
tributOr. This rejection. she stated,
was because the poem declared that
Trinity church derived much mission
airy money from its rent of property
owned by the church and occupied by
the slum and tenement district The
composition questioned Christianity 9f
such proceedings. Miss Barr further
explained that the poem had been sug-
gested by Mr. Kemp's visiting the
church as the guest of prominent New
York magazine editors.
John Dawson, a member of the Au-
thors' club. severely criticized the pro-
ductiOn- He said that while it might
be good from a literary standpoint. it
took the pessimistic side and such
themes should not be in the realm of
poetry He further explained that it
might be true that some of the church 5
property was now occupied by objec-
tionable people, but when given to the
church. it wac good residence property
and Trinity could not change the STUD
ton unless the laws of New York state
V ere changed. He further stated that
the influence of the composition was
bad, and did not wonder that the mag
azines had refused it, He closed by in
tImGting that probably the Club Mem
Der had done likewise.
Miss Barr, with characteristic
twitch of her shoulder. answered:
No. the Club Member editor has not
turned II down. and that poem will APP
pear in the next issue of her paper. I
believe that poetry should deal with all
facts vital to humanity. This poem is
written from the standpoint of the
masses. I think that one person is as
good as another. regardless of his hav-
ing or not having money. It is the way
that money is used that counts"
