offered by the Italian Aviation society
of Milan, Italy, to any aviator who
would fly in a heavier-than-air ma.
chine from Brig, Switzerland, to Milan
The race was regarded as particularly
hazardous because it was necessary
for the aviator to rise to height of
about 1000 feet Immediately on leay-
ing the ground and maintain that alti-
tude for at least half an hour in Or
der to clear the Simplon pass. Chavez
succeeded in rising to the required al
titude and crossing the Simplon pass
safely. At Domodossolo, on the Ital-
ian side, while he was steering his
machine to the aerodrome, to rest on
his voyage. the wings Of the aeroplane
collapsed and the machine and its
daring occupant were dashed to the
ground. The fall was only from
height of 80 feet, but Chavez, who was
caught beneath the aeroplane when it
fell. was terribly injured. Both legs
were broken, his left thigh was shat
tered and he was otherwise injured.
He was taken to the hospital, where
he fingered until the following day,
when he died. Before he died half the
prize money had been awarded him.
it is singular thing that the acct
dent should have occurred after he
had accomplished the most dangerous
part of his flight and that after having
sailed at height of 1000 feet over
frightfui chasms and eternal SHOWS he
should meet his death by fall Of
only 80 feet.

FATAL BLAST ON BATTLESHIP
Explosion on the North Dakota Kills
Three Men and Causes Injury
to Eight Others.

Washington, d. C.-The new bat
tleship North Dakota, one of the
two great dreadnaughts of the navy,
may be seriously damaged by an ex-
plosion on her during a test of petro-
leum as an auxiliary fuel Three en-
listed men, all coal passers, lost their
lives as result of the explosion and
eight men, including two warrant Off
GERS, are badly injured, although they
are expected to recover. The North
Dakota is now docked at Newport
Newport News and an examination is
being made to see what damage has
been done to her boilers and interior.
The North Dakota was one of the
two battleships to try petroleum as
an auxiliary fuel to coal. The Della
ware, the second dreadnaught, is also
working on the experiment. The bat
tleships were gathering at Hampton
Roads for their annual great gun prac-
tice. 1t was learned later that the
direct cause of the explosion was a
leak in one of the oil pipes which
caused the oil to spatter the floor and
walls of the fire room. 1t is supposed
that the oil was ignited by coming in
to contact with an over heated part of
the engine.

DEMOCRATS WIN IN MAINE
Elect Governor and Make Gain Of
Congressman in the Pine Tree
State.

Augusta, Me.-The Democrats of
Maine are wild with delight for
they have elected their candidate
for governor, Col. Frederick w. Plais-
ted, mayor of this city, and perhaps
four congressman and quite likely also
a majority of the legislature.
The full extent of the Democratic
tidal wave cannot be definitely de-
scribed on account of the delay in re-
turns from some of the inaccessible
districts. But the managers of both
parties have received enough informa-
ton to show these results: The elec-
tion of Frederick w. Plaisted (Dem.)
for governor over Bert M. Fernald
(Rep.) by plurality of more than s.
900 and possibly 5000. The election
of William M. Pennell (Dem) for con-
gress in the First district over Asker
G. Kinds (Rep) by 600. The election
of Daniel j. McGillicudy (Dem.) for
congress in the Second district over
John p. Swasey (Rep) by substan'
tial plurality. The election of Sam
uel Gould Dem.) for congress in the
Third district over Edwin c. Bur
