Warner Issues Another
Answer to Osborn

LANSING, Mich, Sept. 1.-(Spe-
cial. THE following statement vas
issued by Gov. Warner this morning:
People can appreciate the reason why
| dislike to be drawn into any further
controversy with Mr. Osborn, but in
justice to myself | cannot let such
false statement as he is reported to
have made in Detroit last night pass
unnoticed. He states that In three
days after his appointment as regent
he received a letter asking him to
contribute $3.50 10 my campaign fund.
The best and most effective answer
to make to that assertion Is the simple
statement that 1t is not true. The
letter followed voluntary offer on his
part to contribute and Mr.. Osborn
should publish the letter itself In
stead of making a statement regarding
il that is as far from the truth as his
Big Rapids statement that he made no
contribution to the primary campaign
fund,
"The letter can be given to the press
il Mr. Osborn desires. Most assurediy
have no objection to his taking such
q course.
People should not be deceived ny
statements made during the closing
days OF a campaign when 1t liz too late
to controvert them"

GRAND TRUNK WILL
TAKE CARE OF NE
BRAKEMAN GRAHAM.
Railroad Man, Blamed by State for
Frightful Wreck, Made This State
ment To Commissioner Scully.
BRAKEMAN GRAHAM

DURAND, Mich, Sept. Evidence
submitted at the inquest here into
the wreck at DufIield, in which eight
persons were killed, indicates that the
Grand Trunk railway officials main.
tain that Engineer Spencer, of train
No. 4, Is responsible for his train
crashing into the Pullman car Of No
ID.
The state railway commission, on
the other hand, is convinced that
Graham, the strike breaker and mex.
perlenced brakeman OF train No. IA,
is to blame for falling to put tail
lights on No. IA and in neglecting to
go back a reasonable distance to flag
No 4.
Clarence Alderman testified at the
inquest yesterday afternoon that he
hurried to the scene of the wreck af-
ter he heard the crash, his home be-
ing located near the spot where the
trains collided. He noticed a human
form in the fire and started towards
ii. He was told by some of the rail-
road men and spectators to keep away,
but he refused and pulled out the
trunk OF woman. The arms and
legs were gone, but part of the head
and features remained. He said none
of the crew was about when he start
ed to rescue the bodies. The railroad
men devoted all of their time to pre-
serving the railroad company's prop
erty and neglected the bodies that
were in the flames, he testified.
Alderman also stated that after
Spencer came back from the direction
of Durand. he began to talk. and said
that no tail lights were seen on the
Pullman and he could not stop soon
enough after the torpedo exploded.
When the engineer returned from a
search for the fuse, he told Alderman
that there had been none placed. The
engineer also brought back the tail
light and set it down between the
tracks. few feet from the rear of the
wrecked coach.
Robert Dallas, Joseph and Glen
Board, Fred Sexton and Il. Henry,
were then called in succession and
added nothing further that would
assist in placing the responsibility.
Speaking regarding the wreck to
Commissioner Scully, during an in.
PERMISSION. G.. w. Graham, the brake
man of the Inflated train, said: Il
am not afraid no matter how this
thing comes out, as Trainmaster Ack.
er, at Battle Creek, said that would
be taken care OF no matter what hap.
pened. This makes me feel pretty
good and | do not care much what
comes nm now"

CURT|ss MAKES
RECORD FLIGHT
He Cruises 60 Miles Over Lake Erie
From Cleveland To Cedar Point
In Hour and Is Minutes.

CLEVELAND. Sept. Glenn II.
Curtiss, of Hammonsport, N. y, yes
terday established new record for
over-water fights by travenng over
Lake Erie from Euclid Beach, nine
miles east Of this city, to Cedar Point,
Ohio, approximately 60 miles distant.
The announced time consumed in the
passage was ] hour and Is minutes.
The aviator's own estimate OF the time
was / hour and 10 minutes. His aver
age speed was As miles an hour, al
though one stretch of 20 miles was
covered at a rate of a mile minute.
Mr.. Curtiss used the eight-cylinder
so horsepower biplane OF his own
construction In which he made his
recent flight down the Hudson river
from Albany to New York.
1t was shortly after IL o'clock when
the biplane was taken from the aero
drome At 1903 p. NJ, after 1t had been
ascertained that the l2-mile breeze
from the northeast prevailed in Cleve-
land and Cedar Point alike, the motor
was started.
At 1:06 d. m. with the cheers OF
40, 900 people who had gathered at the
starting point ringing in his ears the
aviator swept out over the lake.
After reaching a height OF 200 feet
the machine turned to the west. AT
1:13 D. IN. II had passed Cleveland
harbor, where 100000 people had
grouped along the lake front and on
top Of buildings; three minutes later
II had faded into the mist beyond
Rocky river. western extremity or
the city's 18-mile water front.
At l:26 just 20 minutes after leav-
ing Euclid Beach, the biplane vas
sighted of Dover Bay, 20 miles dis
tant.
At 1916 IL passed Lorain, at 1:5S
crossed directly over Vermillion and
at 2:1S was sighted at Cedar Point.
Five minutes later II glided or 10
the beach in front Of the Breakers
hotel.
A crowd of 10000 people gathered
on the beach went wild when Mr..
Curtiss landed. IL rushed down on
the aviator. lifted him from the ma
chine and carried him on it's shoulders
to his hotel.
Mr.. Curtiss Immediately telephoned
his wife here of his arrival After
dining he announced that because oil
the breeze which had risen, ana rain
which had begun to fall. he would
postpone his return until 10 o'clock
this morning.
Had the aviator been able TO main
tain the speed at which he set out ne
probably would have broken all speed
records. West OF Dover Bay. how
ever. he encountered air currents
that impeded progress.
