Atlanta, October 3D.-More than 5000 people, who focked to the Atlanta speed way this afternoon to witness the first real warning up of the racing automo- piles, were amply repaid for their trou- ble by the sensational work of Johnny Aitken in National car who circled the two-mie oval in 1:23, just two seconds slower than the track record. Aitken's s pace was at the rate of S6 miles an hour
 Many noted drivers of racing automo- biies are gathered in Atlanta and Sayan- nah tonight and others are en route to these cities to prepare for competition during the next two weeks for several of the richest automobile stakes of the year. in Atlanta, on November 8, 1 and ., 19 races will be held at the local two- mile speedway for prizes aggregating s2o,ooo about sl2.ooo of which Is in cash with the balance in trophies.

this method of transit and as conse- quence of the general recognition of this fact the inventive genius of the world Is now concentrating it's attention large ly upon the motive power. Electricity as a motive power Is being made the sub ject of careful inquiry. The weight of the present day electric motor Is a bar to its use in all aerial craft, and 1t Is feared no progress can be made until a way is found of gathering this force from the atmosphere.
 Much attention is being given by in- ventors to ''stabilizlng. by which is meant the keeping of the air current in the right, position, In case of accident they have a tendency to tArn t4rtle and in that event they seek the center of gravity with a audiences which gener- ally means disaster to the operator. AL ready vast Improvements have been made and still many more are hoped for in this direction.
 Inventors also are seeking for im- proved methods of arising and alighting and there are numerous applications for patents covering these points. The air. men want machine which can lift itself suddenly from the ground like a bird, and which can alight anywhere. To satisfy this demand the inventors are turning their attention to the horizontal screw such as Is used in water in con- nection with submarine boats. and many of the applications dealing with this prin- ciple have been filed.
 Inventions looking to the use of the airship in time of war also are pouring into the office as are counter inventions which contemplate protection against them. As the patent office views the situation the difficulty in using the aero planes for dropping projectiles is found in the uncertainty which must necessarily accomplish such effort. With machine going from 50 to 75 miles hour, as most of them do, it Is extremely difficult to direct a projectile so as to insure it striking the mark even though that mark be a battleship an extensive fortifica- ton. A large number of the airship cases now coming into the patent office are those dealing with foreign patents. The European governments are more lib- eral in their encouragement In the devel- opment of aerial navigation than the United States, and as a consequence greater activity prevails among. the for eign than among the American inventors.

ONE DEAD IN WRECK
 AT CHATTANOOGA

Chattanooga, October 3o.-A. G. Sam fard, fireman of Smyrnia, Tenn, was in- stantly killed Mike McGovern. engineer of Nashville, was badly scalded, and Pos tai Clerk Frank B. Allen was injured in the wrecking of passenger train No. on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway early today. The passengers were badly shaken up but no one was Injured to any extent.
 The accident occurred on curve be- tween Bolivar and Stevenson, Ala. A broken rail caused the engine to jump the track. the entire train of coaches following. The pilot of the engine finally plunged into the embankment, turning over, the cars toppling and leaning on the embankment.
 Fireman Sanford was pinned under the engine.
 train with doctors was sent from this city and the dead and injured brought back here.

Pdndmd Canal Gates To
 Be Largest Tn The World
Mighty Portals To Admit the Worlds Commerce Will Be As High As Sx-story Building 65 Feet Wide Feet Thick and Weigh 6OOOO Tons So They Can Withstand
 Earthquakes and Enemys Mines

over the skeleton structure thus formed sheathing of water-tight armor plate will be bolted, much after the fashion of clapboards on a house.
 The thickness of the plates will range from an inch at the base to 7-16 of an inch at the top. The weight of a single gate will be about 600 tons. and the di- mensions are IT to s2 feet high. 50 to 65 feet wide and feet thick.
 The thousands of individual pieces, numbered and fitted to go together as easily as childrens blocks. will be shipped by steamer via Baltimore, and with them will go more than 400 skilled structural steel builders from Pittsburg to set them up. The advance guard of experts leaves here in December, and the first work probably will begin early In 1911 It will take three years to complete the job.
 The location of the 46 pairs of gates will be 20 at the Gatum dam. on the Par cific side; 12 at Pedro Miguel and 14 at Miraflores, near the Atlantic entrance. The gates are designed to hold back water 47.4 feet deep in a channel no feet wide, which means a pressure of 100000 pounds Engineers, in reply to alarm ists, point out that even if tremendous explosion or earthquake should damage or destroy one or more sets of gates no great disaster would ensue. for all locks are to be made In duplicate to accom- modate in both directions at once, aH the wreckage of one set of locks woy {, only necessitate the diversion of cG ! merce into another set. But really vie earthquakes have not occurred oy c Q Panama zone for over two centurif es T 1t would require a mighty siege .-S . In enemy to destroy the locks.
 Each lock will be ample for 0 oSp 50 ,,a~ Tor than yU afioat, and it has been estinv Q Tat as many as 100 ocean ships ma. Handled in single day. There are no ocks ap- preaching these in size. The famous Suez canal is a sea level affair, and the few great lock canals would have to combine their gates to equal the size and strength of the great doors of Panama.

POLICEMAN SHOOTS
 UP GUN FIGHTERS

New York, October S0.-Through quick work with his revolver, Robert Adler special policeman in West Twenty-third street dancing academy. who late last night shot and killed one man and prob ably fatally injured another while the dancers were in the mazes of waltz broke up for the time being the Geeper gang, a band of gun fighters
 Six of them, led by Charles Hunt, cherished hatred against Adler, and. ac- cording to the police. went to the dancing academy to get him.
 When Adler stopped them at the door six hands reached for as many pistol pockets.
 A shot was fired and door near Ad- ler's head was splintered. Then Adler s pistol flashed and Hunt crumpled up and fell dead, shot through the head.
 Three other shots were fired at Adler but all missed. William Morris. one of the band, then lunged forward with pis- toI raised but the policeman was too quick and shot him through the head. The remainder of the band fled. Morris probably will die

THE SUCCESS OF AVIATION
 DEPENDS ON THE AVIATOR

Washington, October So.-Multifarious as are the new devices which are being applied to the navigation of the air, In connection with the present day activity in that sport, none has been or Is likely to be found to, take the place or the brains in the aviator. This Is the opin- ion of James H. Colwell. the patent of- flee expert. who has immediate charge of all flying machine inventions, and who has given personal attention to almost every application for a patent in that line. Summing up his views today he said sentcist:ously:
 .eren per cent of every aerial flight is due to the machine, 15 per cent to the motor and 75 per cent to the man. The man of indecision. poor Judgment, weak nerves or slow judgment is as much out of place in an airship as a defective motor"
 Airship invention has received stirring impetus within the last few years, and there is no more reliable index to this activity than that displayed by the rec ords of the United States patent office. It began with the first exhibitions by the Wright brothers off the North Carolina coast. and has increased in geometric ratio since that time with the conse- auence that up to date about 5000 patents have been issued on these machines themselves or on devices connected with them.
 The bureau Is now handling an average of about 90 cases a month. The work is conducted in the division of the office which gives especial attention to inven- tions having to do with army ordinance and marine propulsion. Important as are those branches. more than half the force. under the direction of Mir Colwell, Is en- gagged upon the air machine portion or the work.
 The airship inventions have been as- signed to this division largely because of the fact that the method or propul- sion is the most important part Of aerial navigation The patent office regards as established the principle of the plane in

GOVERNOR STUBBS
 FOR PROHIBITION

Kansas City. october s0,-Gov. w. R. Stubbs of Kansas addressed a mass meeting at Convention hall this after noon in behalf of the proposed state wide prohibition amendment which will be voted on at the November cleo tion.
 The purpose of the governors speech was to answer the arguments issued by anti-prohibition leaders that prohibi- tion has injured Kansas and that the law Is not enforced in that state.
 If any brewer or distilier," declared Stubbs, can show me saloon or open joint in Kansas, I will close 1t at once or resign" t
 The speaker read letters from mayors and judges in various parts of Kan sas to prove that the prohibition law Is effective and that sirce 1t has been rigidly enforced bank deposits have increased. crime has decreased, real estate has risen in value. and general business conditions have improved.

Pittsburg, october 3O.-Mischievous boys dreaming tonight of gates they will seize as Halloween trophies would not in the nous gates as are being made in Pitts burg for the Panama canal They will be the largest gates in the world. Any one of the s2 of them, for there are to be zs pairs In all. will be about as high as six-story building, as wide (65 feet as many city buildings are, and seven feet deep or thick. The structural steel that will go to make them will weigh 60,00O tons, or more than eight times as much as was used to build the Eiffel tower in Paris.
 The mighty portals. designed to admit worlds commerce from one ocean to another, must withstand a tide of crit icism as we'll as tremendous pressure af water and possible convulsions of earth. For years the controversy over gates or no gates, locks or sea levels has been the dividing issue of the canal prob lem. In the face of fear in some quar- ters that the foundations on the isthmus are not sure enough for locks, that earth quakes or water pressure would dislodge them and that an enemy's mines or acci- dental explosions might easily destroy them, the government has begun to build the gates.
 The cost will be $5,500.00o. The builders are the McClintic Marshall Steel Con- struction company. a half of whose in- dependent plant here has been given over entirely to the gate contract. Of the 6O,oo0 tons of steel required the heaviest single piece will weigh about IS tons. These will be the base girders which are seven feet wide and which will be placed much like the first floor girders of sky scraper. The series of girders above them will range from 3.S feet apart near the bottom to feet apart at the top, and

Dead Man Fails to Rise

Bristol. Tenn, October 30.-Henry D. Silverfriend, prominent in the Koreshan colony in Estoro, Lee county. Florida. who arrived here today. declared that the death watch" over the tomb of Dr. Teed is being maintained. Shortly be- fore his death Dr. Teed announced a year ago that he would rise from the tomb and become the Messiah of the Koreshans' MT. Silverfriend declared that Dr. Teed had not yet risen. but the members of the cult felt confident that their leader would come back to life as their ''Messiahy in due time. The colony in this city was abandoned soon after the death of pr. Teed.

Police rinI Murder Clue

Danville, Ill.,, October 30.--The police to- day found horse and buggy which they say were used to carry Mrs. Elizie Coch- rane to the place in which She was slain
 last Thursday night. After the horse and buggy were driven over the route supposed to have been followed by the slayer and Mrs. Cochrane, the police announced that both hoof and buggy tracks fitted the old ones. It is alleged some one took Mrs Cochrane to a lone- ly spot outside Of Danvilie ana shot her through her head after desperate strug- ale. Owing to the fact that Mrs. Coch- rane's face was severely scratched and her hair partly torn out. the police are inclined to think that she may have been killed in a quarrel with Q Jealous woman.
