The Daring Aviator Who
Crossed English Channel
in Fog Not Reported.
Il is Feared He Lost Bear

and Dropped Into the
Ocean-Was Trying For
the $40, 900 Prize Offered
by Baron de Forest For
Aviator Who Covered the
Greatest Distance.

London. Dec. 23.-There was no
news today of the fate Of Cecil Grace,
tho American born svitaor who dis
appeared in the fog while attempting
to return from Calais, France, to DO
YER yesterday. II Is feared tEat- ne
fell In the North Sea.
A Great feet Of motor cars were Out
oil night and day searching every
nook Of the east coast OF England
while war ships scattered along the
shores and dotttng the North Sea
swept the waters with wireless In
auiry concerning the air man. These
f,,tile efforts were continued during 10
day.
Grace went out for the Baron de
Forest prize Of 5000 offered to the
British aviator who dn British made
seropDane shall cover the greatest
distance, including the passage OF the
English channel during the present
year. T. Sopwith had set q mark OF

Grace was once more enveloped in
the fog that had become more dense.
Those who saw the start say he took
n northeasterly course. II Is evident
that he lost mis- bearings. for had he
had his proper direction he would have
rcached Dover without trouble as he
had the power and his aeroplane mus.
have behaved well. Instead OF ap
preaching Dover, he was sighted later
farther TO the northeast, over the
Goodwin Sands, the exceedingly dan
gerUus shoals that extend of the
southeast coast OF England, some
seven miles cast of Deal.
At this point Grace made a grave
mistake In his reckoning, for with land
but a few miles TO the west, he
yeered to the east and when last seei
was heading over the southeast. Al
this point he was swallowed UP by tho
fog and nothing whatever mas tran
splred to throw light on his where

STOP THIS TRAFFIC.

We rise to doff our hat to
Hugh O'Neill, of the Denver
Times, and we vouchsafe the re-
mark that every informed man
and woman in Colorado who has
read his editorial in Monday s
Times is to-day sharing our admi-
ration for the publisher of met
ropolitan newspaper who so fear
lessly and truthfully condemns a
traffic, the baseneSs of which
has no parallel in the annals of
human knavery, and which is con
doned by the newspapers of the
country solely on account of the
extortionate prices they demand
and receive from these medical
charlatans for the columns of ad-
vertising space they so cunningly
use. The editorial in mention
follows:
When you, dear reader, CON
slider the men and women and
boys boys-who are tricked
cajoled and often injured for life
and injured seriously by the un-
licensed practitioners and adver-
tising, medical charlatans, who
can only continue in business be
cause they are permitted to pur
chase publicity for their lying
claims in the newspapers of Den
yer; don t you think it time that
publicity of that kind should b
STOPPED.
These imposters pay extortior
ate prices for their advertising
THEY HAVE TO.
"They know that their busines:
IS dishonest and illegal and the
price they pay gives them both
publicity and protection.
Many Prosecuting Attorneys
would bring these quacks to
justice; but Prosecuting Attor-
neys are elected Officers; our
newspapers play a large part in
the choice of elected officers; and
there are Prosecuting Attorneys
who would be 10th to enter upon
cases which, We're they successful.
would withdraw from the news
papers which accept advertising
of this character revenue wort
about $500 week.
Under its present management
The Times has, from the first. re
FUSED to accept this kind of med
cal advertising and it means to
Keep in this campaign against
medical fraud until medical fraud
is PUT OUT OF BUSINESS in
Denver.
No spectacle that we know of
is more pitiable than the sight
presented by the men and women
and boys who, having been rob-
bed and injured by these char
iatans, apply to the free dispen-
saries and honorable physicians
for relief that it is, so often, too
late to give.
'No traffic that we know of is
more debased and inexcusable
than this of preying upon the ig-
norance and credulity of people
whose only hope of help lies in
proper treatment.
1T is a traffic that we should
not palter with; between it and
all of us there should be no truce
and public opinion should convince
every Prosecuting Attorney in
Colorado that his most discreet
course lies in prosecuting these
offenders against the bodies of
men and women and boys.
"Thcre is, by the way, a Grand
jury sitting in Denver now; why
should not the cases of these ad.
vertisign medical charlatans be
brought before it?'
