MoissANT IS DELAYED
By Accidents to His Monopiane Thurs
day at Rainham, Eng.

Chatham Eng, Aug. 18.-Two acci-
dents to. his mOnoplane today brought
down to earth the American aviator,
John B. Moissant, who yesterday MADE
a remarkable flight across the English
channel with q passenger, on daring
attempt to fly from Paris to London
Tonight Moissant's aeroplane lies part
ly wrecked in a brick field near Rain
ham, Kent, some 80 miles from Lon
don.
BY remarkable stroke of fortune
which seemed to have followed the al
most inexperienced aviator on the first
two days of his flight, Moissant and his
mechanician, Albert Fileux. escaped
unhurt. But the machine came heavily
to the ground. alighting in narrow
space. banked high around with earth
and piles of broken brick. There it is
likely to remain until it can be re-
moved piece-meal and refitted with
parts now on their way from Paris to
replace those that were broken by the
fall.
Moissant resumed his fight from
Tilmanstone at ASS o'clock this morn
ing The weather was clear and hard
ly a breeze stirred the air. Everything
seemed most favorable to the accom-
plishment of his hopes. but at o'clock
he was obliged to descend near Sitting
bourne.A small pin had become dis
placed and almost from the start, it
gave the aviator trouble. After this de-
feet was repaired, Moissant re-ascend-
ed, but before he had gone many
miles a connecting rod was broken.
which forced him to use the planes to
reach the ground.
The aviator is in no wise discouraged
at this misfortune and promises as
soon AS the machine is in working or
der again, to make another start for
Crystal palace, or wherever he can
find a suitable landing place in Lon
DON
The good fortune which accompanied
Moissant in the earlier stages of his
flight from Paris and in his record
breaking journey across the channel with
passenger, seems to have deserted him
with his arrival upon English shores. Mo-
tor defects in the aeroplane. which had
yesterday worked without a slip. forced
him to make two successive landings

Jimmie Fleming, a partner OF Ben

trouble with the knife pull that should

difficulties were obvious to the crowd
who expected to see him dash to earth

trouble and halted his ascent to circle
above him. The balloonist slowly drift

pull and finally. dropping any attempt
to free the parachute, rode his balloon
to earth some three miles distant
from the aerodrome. Hoxsey saw
him safe to earth and then came sail

mind before the adjournment of the
last session of Congress that Mr. Can
non could not be reelected Speaker,
and my opinion has been strengthened
since through correspondence and talks
with my colleagues.
Il am not referring to those who
have openly opposed him in the past
but to those who, like myself, have
supported him.
Il am absolutely convinced, II there
is a full attendance at the Republican
caucus, that Mr.. Cannon cannot be
again elected Speaker.
II have genuine affection for Mr.. Can
non as a man and the highest respect for
his splendid fighting qualities. l have
supported him five times for the Speaker
ship, having voted four times for his
election and once against his removal.

firmly Of the opinion that his reelection
Ia impossible. want 1t especially under
stood that / say this solely on my own
responsibility and upon the suggestion
OF no one else"
Mr. Longworth said today that he had
hesitated as to whether he should give
this statement out here at Beverly, where
he Is sojourning. or whether he should
wait until he returned to his home In
Cincinnati. The fact that the statement
was given out Immediately following the
important conference at the summer
White House yesterday afternoon regard
ing plans for the coming congressional
convention, is taken here as indicating
that President Taft as we'll as Vice Pres
ident Sherman are behind the movement
to eliminate Mr.. Cannon. That a move
ment was on foot to this end was indi-
Gated by these dispatches week ago.
Since that time 1t has been believed that
sentiment rapidly crystallized and that
the fight Ia fairly on. Whether the
Speaker will accept the situation which
has developed since yesterdays confer
ence with the President remains to be
seen. Whether ne accepts or not 1t is
felt here that Mr. Cannon is already elm
mated.
