IN HIS AVIATION STUNTS

Aviation Field. Los Angeles. CAL,
Jan. 22.-By carrying one passenger
in his biplane on a 22-mile cross coun-
try trip from Aviation field to a point
half a mile out over the ocean, by taxi
ing another passenger on a 12-mile
flight over the fields and by taking
three other passengers, one at a time,
on short flights, Louis Paulhan yester-
day established a new worlds record
for heavier than air machines.
No other aviator has taken up so
many passengers in one day, and n
other aviator has taken a woman for
q high fight over fields and woods and
villages and surf for more than 20
miles.

500 to 1000 feet over Rododondo beach.

life buoys tied to the machine to save
them from death in the waves should

The passenger carrying record is
held by Orville Wright, who flew with

North Bay, Ontario, Jan. 25.-The
horror OF the wreck on the Canadian
Pacific passenger train at Spanish
River yesterday afternoon grows as the
hours pass. At least two scores of lives
were snffed out in a %twinkling, and
Not one car, as at first reported, but
three took the plunge down the steep
embankment into the river.
When the train left Sudbury at noon
II carried in the n~eighborhood Of 100
persons and was mad UP as follows:
Engine, mail n baggage car, express,
second class coach, colonist, first class
coach. dining car and Pullman.
Spanish River Is 38 miles from Sud-
bury. The railroad at that point cuts
into the side of a hill and crosses the
river On an iron bridge. The bridge
was approached at a fair rate Of speed
and the engine, mail, baggage and ex-
press cars were on the structure when
the trucks of the second class coach
jumped the track. The coach struck
the bridge abutments and was split in
two.
The momentum carried half Of the
second class coach with passengers, the
c~olonist car, first class coach and din
ing car down the bank and into the
river. The Pullman fell over on it's side,
near the tracks.
EVERY passenger OH the nalI OF the
second class coach, colonist car and
first class coach was drowned and only
the most heroic efforts saved eight per-
sons from the diner. Estimates by rail-
road men and survivors place the loss
OF life at As.
The known dead are:
WILL LAVERY, fireman.
JOHN KEASBECK. fireman, North
Bay.
GEORGE M'ILHENY, fireman, North
Bay.
UNIDENTIFIED PRIEST.
Twenty-Five injured are in the Sud-
bury general hospital, several Of whom
cannot survive. Ten more are being
cared for in hotels.
The cars cut through the ice which
covered the river to a thickness Of IL
inches. even If any persons succeeded
in breaking through the windows they
were trapped under the ice and never
had a chance for their lives.

CRAFTERS SEE
GOULD Cash SLIPPING
Royal Fortune Hunters Had
Her Staked Out for
. Themselves.

New York, Jan. 22.-Marjorie Gould.
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Jay
Gould, is engaged to be married, not to
a foreign prince, but to an American.
Anthony j. Drexel, jr.. son of Anthony
j. Drexel. Of Philadelphia. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gould make the formal announcement
Of Miss Gould's engagement at a dance
which they gave in their new house, S57
Fifth avenue.
The dance. though not given for the
specific purpose of telling the news OF
the engagement, was just the occasion
foT such an announcement. 1t was
really a housewarming m one Of the
most magnificent affairs OF the season.
Decorated in Rare Orchids.
The house naturally was in gala dress
and was decorated with quantities of
rare orchids and American Beauty
roses. A shower of mauve orchids fall
Ing among the leaves of Southern smi-
lax greeted the guests upon their en-
trance into the house. The guests
ascended to the great hall above where
Mrs. Gould in white brocade satin with
trimmings of silver and wearing dia-
monds received, assisted by Miss Mar
jorie.
The girl wore a deep pink satin with
white lace. The hall where they stood
Is curtained with deep red satin and
was decorated last night with mauve
orchids arranged on New England tree
ferns of a rare variety.
Two Blooded Suitors.
Even before she was introduced into
society a little more than a year ago,
Miss Gould had been reported many
times as smitten with this or that
nobleman. When she was 16 she went
abroad n 1t seems from gossip that
most Of the titled hearts began beating
faster. Many times she has been re-
ported engaged. Last October it was
said that two noblemen of royal blood,
one a kinsman of the Russian car and
the other backed by Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria, opened at one time
formal negotiations with Mr.. Gould for
the hand of his daughter. The noble
men were Prince Alexander G~eorgevitch
Romanski. who is also Duke Of Leuch-
tenberg, and Francis Joseph, brother of
Prince Miguel of BraganZa, who mar
ried Anita Stewart. The sanction of
the father to the royal suitors was
withheld. 1t will be remembered that
Marjorie Gould's aunt, Anna Gould, has
married so far a count and a prince,
Boni de Castellane and Prince De
Sagan.
Anthony ]. Drexel, jr., Is the son OF
the wealthy Philadelphia banker, once
the partner of ]. Pierpont Morgan. He
was last in the limelight about two
years g when, just coming out of
Elton, he was reported engaged to Miss
Hattie Forsythe, an actress.

Costume She Wore Would Not
Be Tolerated If Ordinary
Actress Wore It.

London. Jan. 25.-Lady Constance
Stewart Richardson made her first APP
pearance last night as q professional
barefoot" dancer at q public music
hall. She has given her dances for
money before, but to private affairs for
charity, the last time being at Covent
Garden. At that performance the bish-
op of London was present, but left be-
fore Lady Constance appeared.
Her exhibition In public was the most
daring display that London has seen,
and 1t has witnessed dances by Maud
Allan. Isador Duncan, Gertrude Hof-
man and many others OF so-called
Greek dancers.
1t was given at Alfred Butts palace
music hall, where Lady Constance is
said to receive a salary Of 81, 900 a week,
which, 1t is reported, she wiz devote to
charity.
When she appeared on the stage the
audience sat up and gasped. She wore
fiimsy drapery, practically transparent.

professional dancer, but worn by a
woman of title. nothing was done.
Exhibition a Daring One.
In this costume she gave four dances,
nue. the same as those she a given
at other times, although, perhaps, more
daring than those she gave in New
York when she danced for society there.
The audience was silent until she
had finished the last dance and then
broke into thunderous applause.
Although Lady Constance made her
professional debut in London last
night, her first appearance in public as
a barefoot lancer" was made In New
York last winter.
Danced at New York Musical.
She danced first at a musical given
by Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt, jr., and lat
err, on February % of last year, gave
her Greel, dances at Sherry's for the
benefit of the society for improving the
condition of the poor.
Lady Constance did not impress her
New York audiences as being supreme
ly graceful. Her arms were said to be
o. long, and the same fault was
found with her neck.
While she danced here only at pri-
vate affairs, she charged $500 for her
services,

JUDGE DISMISSES
THE HEINZE CASE

New York, Jan. 25.-Judge Hough, in
the United States circuit court, today
sustained the demurrer entered by At
torney John B. S~tanchfield and quashed
the indictment against f. Augustus
Heinze in the Mercantile National bank
case.
This was the last remaining indict-
ment against Heinze, growing out of
the events which led up to the Wall
street panic Of 1897, and the effect of 1t
is hat HeinZe will probably escape
without a trial.
The ground for the courts action was
that mainly urged by Heinze's counsel,
Judge Hough ruling that the presence
In the grand jury room Of John p.
Fernsler, an expert accountant, in any
capacity except hat of a witness, was
prejudicial to Heinze's legal rights.
