SAILED IN A SNOW STORM.

Ralph Johnstone yesterday after
noon at the international aviation tour
nament at Belmont Park, Long Island,
climbed until a snowstorm, when at an
altitude OF Z, $50 feet, compelled him to
coast back to earth, but his climb was
entirely satisfactory to young Mr..
Johnstone in that it established new
American altitude record.
If it had not been for rainstorm on
high Hoxsey might have remained in
the sky longer than he did, and may
even have flown higher than the 5,536
feet he reached. But JohnStone kept
going right on up. For long time
the grandstands lost sight Of him, as
miles away to the southeast he circled
about.
The spatter OF rain that hit upturned
faces between $50 and 4 O'Clock as the
crowd looked up and southeast toward
the Johnstone speck got to Johnstone
before it drove the crowd to cover.
At first it was just fine drizzle up
where he sailed, hardly thick enough
to conceal him entirely from the
watchers below. But as he got up to.
ward his record mark the rain changed
to wet snow oD his goggles.
Then the snow began to freeze IN
crust upon the google glasses, and ht
had to watch for a steady moment tc
pull them off. BY this time the wind
and cold and sleety snow almost mile
and a half above the real estate hac
left him blinded and numb, and th'
storm was not helping his engines. Th'
engines still were working, but John
stones muscles were approaching th'
quitting hour.
AS he started, finally, toward the
earth he slid into weather that blotteC
him entirely from view. At height o
1000 feet and to the east OF th'
aviation field, Johnstone dived out o
mist bank with his engine throttle.
down, and he finished his flight wlti
a long dive to a spot a few feet from
his starting point.

DIX ATTACKS sTIMsoN.

John A. Dix turned on his oppo-
nent, Henry L. Stimson,in Buffalo last
night and attacked bis record as the
prosecutor OF the sugar trust.
The democratic candidate for COVER
nor declared that the republican nomi-
nee had acted contrary to business
standards" and to a nice sense OF
honor" when he resigned as federal
district attorney with the sugar litiga-
ton unfinished and practically forced
the government to employ him as
special counsel to continue the prose-
cution at greatly increased remunera-
ton.
Mr.. Dix asked why Mr.. Stimson
had been satisfied with recovering
only $4,000, 900 from the American
Sugar Refining Company when the
governments original claims amounted
to $9,OO0,O00 Finally he assailed Mr..
Stimson because "the men of great
wealth and social position at the head
Of the company have entirely escaped
punishment.
Mr.. Dix prefaced his arraignment
with the assertion that he had been
forced into personalities by the tactics
OF his opponent and Theodore Roose-
welt. to whom he referred as Mr.. Slim
sons nominator." ="
1T is a source OF regret, " said he to
observe that my opponent has been mt
to make this largely a campaign OF per
sonalities instead Of a temperance and
reasoned discussion OF the issues before
the people, and, among other things,
has chosen to refer to me as q reckless
liar and an upstart.' He has called
me a reckless liar because l have
characterized his nOminator in language
which ] shall neither qualify nor with
draw, and complete justification for the
use OF which has been, | submit to the
voters of the state, furnished by the
recent activities and past performances
Of the man who has done more to
DESTROY business confidence and un-
settle values than any man who has
ever appeared in the public life OF our
country.
why he has called me an 'upstart'
is something which, in this land OF
equality and opportunity, greatly puz-
zles me. OF course, realize that
my opponent is placed in posi-
ton which must be everything to the
self-respect and susceptibilities OF a
man who takes himself seriously. Over
shadowed by his nominator to n degree
which makes him only very second
airy issue, indeed, he is trying to emerge
from his enforced observation so that
he may, in some real ay,appear 70 be
the candidate of his party rather than
the occasion for the prancing around OF
his nominator. ."
