Aviator HoXsey Says Distin'

Good a Time AIoft

OF LOUIS. Oct. 11.-Theodore
Roosevelt made an aeroplane
flight today. and said it was the
finest experience he ever had had. He
travelled twice around the aviation field
az Kinloch. IS miles west OF ST. Louis,
IN 8 minutes and 20 seconds. He
waved his hand at the crowd Of thou
sands on the field below, most of whom
were too dumfounded and frightened
TO move. When the machine alighted
easily. a few feet from the starting
place. q mighty shout Of applause and
relief went up.
Arch Eoxsey. a Wright aviator. with
whom Roosevelt made his flight. said
that his passenger made a good fellow
voysger except that instead 'of being
afraid he was having such a good time
that Hoxsey was afraid he would fall
out or interfere with the engine. which
was roaring at his side.

Told to Keep Still

The colonel waved his hands at the
crowd below so vigorously that Hoxsey
called out to him:
Keep your hands on the rail. col
onel"
Roosevelt obeyed orders.
The coloneTs flight was a complete
surprise Although he had been in
vited TO go no one had the least idea
that he would. and he himself did not
decide to go until- the mopent before
he stepped into the machine.
The colonel went TO -KinIpch in an
z automobile at the head OF a procession
Of motor cars half q mile long. He
was driven to the aviation field, instead
of 10 the parking place for automobiles.

was standing in front of the grand
stand. Roosevelt stepped from his au-
tomobile with Governor Hadley and
walked to il. He inspected the ma
chine and shook hands with the aviator.
I'd like to have you for a passen-
ger" said Hoxsey.
The colonel looked at him and with
out 2 word began 10 take off his coat.
II was the first intimation that any one
had that he would make the trip.

Hadley stepped up quickly. with a
scared look on his face. and said:
Are you really going up, colonel?''

q nd he took his seat at Hoxsey's direc-
ton beside the engine. Hadley stepped
back He admitted that he was
nervous.
Roosevelt removed his slouch hat
and borrowed a gray golf cap, which
he pulled down over his eyes. Militia
men were standing so close about the
airship that few spectators knew what
was going on.
Hoxsey took his place beside Roose-
Welt, and photographers. who had been

Y It was not until Roosevelt swept past

were convinced.
At the end OF the second lap, after
reaching q speed OF nearly a mile q
minute, Hoxsey descended.
When the people were convinced
that Roosevelt had landed safely they
cheered wildly and the guards had al
they could do to keep the crowd from
breaking into the field and sweeping
down upon the colonel.
Roosevelt's first act was to reach
for Hoxsey's hand and shake it Wig
orously.

Schneider Was Tool

Schneider was the tool employed. On
one occasion after a transaction with
Hyde he held out his hand in saying
farewell, but Hyde did not see it. In a
moment of anger he wrote to the de-
partment exposing the entire fraud. BY
another coincidence the letter fell into
the hands of an official who did not be-
long to the ring and who at the first
opportunity started the ball rolling.
The case was fought every inch of the
way. 1t was taken to Washington and
congress had to pass a.special appro-
priation measure to provide for the
witnesses while there. From first to
last it cost the country 100000 and
six years labor to convict the two.

lions have been raised for new build
ings all over the land, and with no ap-

ergy in pushing its work-iu the cities
and through the railroad, army and
navy branches-and its fine policy in
following the armies in all recent
wars, have created for it worldwide
enthusiasm. At the last banquet OF
the international committee, Senator

their way by working with men more

BY their appeal to all classes of Chris

CONFESSES NUMBERING TWO
Prisoner Declares He Killed Husband
and Wife for Holding $50
from Him.

Cleveland, O.-With heads battered
and cut by blows from a heavy
piece of gaspipe, the bodies of John
Janowski and Epherma, his wife, ly-
ing in their blood, were found in the
upstairs bedroom of their home here.
They had been dead three days.
Two hours later George Baszardo, a
former boarder, was arrested and
charged with the crime. Later, the
police say, he confessed to the double
murder and said that he had beaten
both man and woman to death be-
cause they had refused to return to
him $50 which they had borrowed
months before. Jealousy is police
theory.
