SPEED AMAZES.
Hamilton Tries 40 H. P. Ma
chine with Motor Only Half On.
ALL SURE BIG PRIZE is HIS
After Spin Aviator Declares He
Believes He Has Fastest
Flyer in World.

Charles X. Hamilton limped about his
aeroplane tent on the Garden City fly
ing field yesterday afternoon. He soldered
struts. fastened bolts. quietly urged his
three mechanics TO get the black Dread
nought of the air in condition for a test
before moon up, and then retired behind
a screen.
When the aviator stepped from his dress
ing room he blushed From his sole to the
top of his head he was clad in new
yellow leather. Leggings, Jacket, automo-
bic hood-all bright and painfully inexperi-
enced.
There are several reasons why 7 am
glad It is dark" he said before taking his
seat in the machine. I've been feeling
the cold lately. and l want to tell you
that when you fly the cold is something to
which you have to take off your hat.
These foreigners will be rigging them
selves out in all kinds of joyous leather
trimmings, and ! may as well get used to
going about in them, too. They do keep
out the weather. but feel like a chimpan-
zee in evening clothes with these leather
Tugs on and I'm glad the moons not
full"
At o'clock the 110-horsepower machine
left the ground. and for four circles of
the gathering darkness. Such speed has
never been approached by a flying man in
this country. No time was taken, as
no course had been measured. Experts
shouted enthusiastically to Hamilton when
he alighted that the international speed
trophy would surely be his.
Hamilton replied that he had only half
turned on his motor. but that he had been
-raH- Of 10
minute.
Il am afraid to turn the engine on full
just yet" he said. Il don't know what
she'll do to me. If I can manage the ma
chine with the power all on I believe ! have
the fastest flying machine in the world
Hamilton is modest. fearless. and without
much comment has built a new machine for
the express purpose Of lifting the interna-
tionaI speed trophy. So far as is known. he
IS the only American who has gone to this
trouble and expense. He is selfish in his
hopes, mayhap. but the contest for the
most important aviation prize of the year
seemingly lies between the Bleriot and An
toinette rnonoplaneS and the HamiltOnan
biplane And so far as is known Hamil-
ton has the fastest biplane in the world.
James Radley, a member of the English
team, damaged his Bleriot yesterday in
practice flights at Belmont Park. Several
parts of the machine were broken, but Mr.
Radley stated last night that he would soon
make repairs.
John b. Moisant gave official notice yes
terday that he would compete during the
tournament for the $1,000 Michelin prize.
This is a distance contest, open to the
world, the prize going to the aviator who
travels the greatest distance in one con-
tinuous flight
Henry Weymann Cabled TO the managers
of the tournament last night that he would
not attend the meet. 1t is understood he
decided there was no chance for him to
win the speed prize in his Farman ma
chine

MINERS
 MAY BE ALIVE
Rescue Party Taking that Slight Chance Through Black Damp that
 Fills the Mine
Special from United Press.)

StarkvilIe, Colo, Oct. 10.-There is a chance, though a slight one, that the miners entombed in the explosion in the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com pany's mine near here, are alive.
 Early today a gigantic fan was in- stalled in the mine tunnel and the rescue party proceeded for one mile into the ''bIack damp which filled the mine. State Mine Inspector Jones was in charge and said he hoped to reach the point of the explosion this afternoon.
 There is just chance that the men are still alive,'' said Jones. fThe mine is the largest in the state, with in the labyrinth of tunnels are many caches that would afford a refuge. It is possible that some of the men, if not caught at the point of the ex- p1osion, may have found a way in safety to one of these chambers
 Jones admits, however, that the chance is small, and the miners who know the mine believe all are dead. There is still the widest discrepancy between the figures of the company and the estimates of the miners as to the number entombed. The com pany says it's cheeks show fifty-five miners were in the tunnels at the time of the explosion. The miners believe there were at least ninety.
 Today there are heard muttered criticisms by the surviving miners .eThere was thick dust in many of the tunnels saida one of the miners. '.The company began three weeks ago to install pumps and lay pipes to get water back to the far slopes. The work was not finished.''

STATE ST. RAILS TOWER UP LIKE MOUNTAIN RANGE Heavy Teams Will Find It Difficult to Cross from
 One Side to Other PAVING COMMISSION AGREES Grade of Tracks Conforms to Proposed Grade of Street to be Met Next
 Year
PAVING COMMISSION AGREES

That the new tracks which the Connecticut Go. is laying in State St. from Board street to park avenue are six inches higher than the roadway is causing considerable comment by team owners and automobilists- The railroad company. is banking up the side of the rail with bricks and paw ing between the rails with wooden blocks.
 At the office of the city engineer it was learned today that the condi- tion was one that was agreed to by the permanent paving commission which intends to lay a new pavement iii the street next year. The sur face of street has been practically flat for a number of years and the water did not run off properly. As the railroad wanted to put in new rails this fall it was agreed to allow the company to do it in accordance with the same grade that the city will follow when it paves the street
 With the half foot elevation in the center of the street it is hardly like ly that many teams will attempt to cross the tracks under the present conditions State street is 46 feet wide and it possible for two vehicles to pass on either side of the tracks
