WALTER BR0OKINS TURNS
SHORTEST AERIAL CIRCLE.
Asbury Park Aviation Meet Ex-
tended Through Week.

ASBURY PARK. Aug. 24.-1t took
Walter Brookins Just five and a half
seconds to negotiate the smallest circle
that man has ever Travelled in midair
yesterday. So abrupt was the swing
round an imaginary pivot that other
a%viators who were on the field said
that if anyone except Brookins at
tempted to make such turns it would
probably cost him his life.
While this was the most spectacular
feature of the days performance.
Ralph tombstone narrowly escaped
coming to grief when one of the cylin-
ders on his motor stopped while his
machine was sailing over the treetops
on the eastern end of the field.
With all the nerve and skill he could
command tombstone managed to keep
his aeroplane in the air long enough
to fly back into the open field. He
made his landing safely in a clump of
weeds similar to those in which Cliff
ford Harmon landed last Saturday,
when he wrecked his machine, at
Greenwich, Conn. after flying across
the sound. Johnstone's machine was
turned over to Duval. La Chapple. the
Wrights' crack aeroplane surgeon, and
1t will be overhauled this morning.
Brookins, when he treated the 10000
spectators with his speedy circular
whirl, had been flying over the grounds
for five minutes. Nobody but Colonel
H. r. Margerum. of the Asbury Park
Aero and Motor Club. looked for the
record-breaking feat. Stop-watch in
hand, Colonel Margerum watched
Brookins, noting every turn he made
Today will be the first day of the
supplementary season OF the meet. The
management decided last night after
a conference with A. Barnes represent
ing the Wright Company, that 1t would
extend the meet until next Saturday,
One Of the features to be announced
within the next day or two Will be q
cross-country flight between two aero
planes. probably with Sea Girt as the
objective point.

FIRE FIEND OF
NEWTON HAS DEPARTED.
Since Arrest of Mrs. Kellogg, Of
Newark, Ghost Game Ceases.

NEWTON, Aug. 24.-Belief here to-
day is that the spooks which had been
setting fire to houses and making them
selves otherwise obnoxious have been
appeased, for not a single uncanny
event a occurred since the arrest
of Mrs. JEANNE Kellogg, of Newark,
yesterday. And 1t is the conviction of
many, accordingly, that, in some way,
Mrs. Kellogg may have been connected
with the grisly occurrences
Mrs. Kellogg's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Dunlap, and her brother Sidney
still believe hat the strange
phenomena were due to supernatural
causes, DESPITE the growing skepticism
of neighbors.

Shotwell, who was there on several
occasions, did not hesitate to say that

the first time on Sunday night, August
5, to watch the father while the wife
and daughter went to stay at his
house. He heard two raps coming
from the side of the room in which
the younger woman was getting pears
to eat. but thought nothing of it until
she rushed out pell nell and appeared
in a high nervous state. Last Sun
day night after the first fire he was
there again, and, while there was
nothing unusual going On, Mr.. Dunlap

GUARD WILL
WELCOME I. R. IN
N T. CONVENTION
Leader Barnes Says That Is
Proper Place to Settle
Party Differences.

NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-Willian
Barnes, jr., Republican leader of Al
bany, and n Of the Old Guard who
selected Vice-President Sherman FOL
temporary chairman of the State n
vention over the head of Theodore
Roosevelt, came to New York last night
and gave out a statement, in part as
follows:
"All citizens will rejoice at the state
ment of Mr.. Roosevelt that he will go
to the Saratoga convention If Nassau
county will send him, and that there
will be no compromise on his part, be-
cause the people are entitled to know
where the Republican party stands on
all public matters.
Differences between the members of
a political party should be fought out
at political conventions. Then. when
the majority opinion has been recorded,
it is the duty of all to support the
ticket and the platform or ac-
tivity in the party.
Griscom Responsible.

Roosevelt's name as a candidate for
the temporary Craftsmanship, without
the members of the State committee
knowing "nere Mr.. Roosevelt stood on
the issues now before the people of this
State, and after the Vice-President had
been placed in nomination before that
thereby forcing the issue
1t was not the intention of the
to create, he simply threw a
firebrand in the Republican situation
entirely unwarranted. and for what
purpose it is not for me to say. So UNI
wise was his action that President Taft
has been called upon to disclaim the
absurd charge that he was responsible
for the selection Of Mr.. Sherman. OF
course, he was not responsible. nor was
he consulted. e
"It is. therefore, highly sensible on
the part of Mr.. Roosevelt, If he hopes
to control the policies of the Republi-
party'in this State. that he should
go to the State convention as a dele
gate and there thrash out what he
ought to be the policy of the
party with those who have different
opinions from him. II Is assumed, of
course, that he will abide by the de-
,ision of that convention-as will those
will oppose him there If he is
successful"

Leavitt Almost Certainty.

TRENTON. Aug. 24.-Although many
Of his friends have urged him to be a
candidate against Senator Harry D.
Leavitt for the Senate nomination in
Mercer county, former Senator Barton
b. Hutchinson today came out in a
statement and thanked his friends who
had circulated a petition while he was
away on his vacation, and at the same
time said hat because of the impor-
lance of the coming election he feared
a contest for the nomination at this
time would j~eopardize the intereats of
the party in this country at the coming
elections
Mr.. Hutchinson returned from Maine
yesterday. and was busy all morning
consulting with his friends rs to what
he would do. The men who had cir
culated his petition urged very
strongly that he go into the fight. He
decided, however, not to make a con-
test. Mr.. Hutchinson's decision prac-
tically makes the election of Senator
Harry d. Leavitt an almost certainty.

Franklin Murphy. of Essex; Edward
Casper Stokes, of Cumberland.
On the Democratic primary ballot
James e. MARITIME. OF Union: Frank M.
McDermit. of Essex.
The delay in filing the MARITIME peti-
ton was due to a failure on the part
of the petitioner to secure at least two
~affidavits certifying the genuineness Of
the petition that was offered for fling
Monday afternoon.
This necessitated the practical prep
aration of a new petition, with the
result that a total of 1,206 names were
secured late Monday and yesterday and
duly filed today. Five hundred and
fifty of the number reside in Union
county and the others are residents Of
Atlantic, Burlington, Hudson and Hun
terdon counties.
All of the candidates except Mr.. Nc
Dermit have issued formal statements
in h nature of a platform of their
views and the latter will do so within

as silly a story sent out from Trenton
