TOMBSTONE IN BIPLANE
SMASHES AN AUTOMOBILE

ASBURY PARK, NJ J., Aug. 49,
tombstone, Wright aviator, collided
with an automobile and damaged his
new experimental bipIane in the avia-
tion meet here today. Archie Hoxsey,
another Wright pupil, abandoned an
attempt for new worlds altitude rec
ord and Walter Brookins, his face
swathed in bandages, left the ground
for the first time since his accident of
last week.
tombstone has been used to landing
on skids, and misjudging the distance
of his new machine, equipped with
wheels, dashed into an automobile at
the edge of the aerodrome. Broken
guy wires and supports were the only
damage.
Eoxsey had reached a height of
more than 1000 feet when Jimmie"
Fleming got into trouble with the
knife-pull that should have freed his
parachute from the balloon bearing
him aloft. His difficulties were OBJ
vious to the crowd, who expected to
see him dashed to earth at any mo-
ment Hoxsey also saw his trouble
and halted his ascent to circle above
him. The balloonist slowly 'drifted
away, still struggling with the knife
pull and finally rode his balloon to
earth some three miles distant from
the aerodrome. Hoxsey saw him safe
to earth and then descended.
Brookins made only brief flight.
When Wilbur Wright was informed
that Brookins was bent on going up
he shrugged his shoulders and re-
marked:

HOOP La is GAMBLING;
RINGING KNIVES IS NOT
Law Interpreted for Benefit Of
County Fairs

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 18.--"Ringing"
knives and canes at county fairs has
been declared a game of skill, but
"hoop la" is gambling within the mean
ing of the agricultural law according
to an opinion rendered by Attorney
General Malley.
Agriculture associations which per-
nit gambling games at fairs are in
danger of forfeiting their right to any
state money for fair purposes, and
Commissioner Pearson of the state de-
partment of agriculture asked the at
torney general to advise him whether
the game of hoop la" was to be con-
strued as gambling.
A recourse to the dictionary failed to
enlighten any one in attorney general
office as to the nature of hoop la"
but 1t was finally ascertained that the
game consists of throwing hoop at
block of wood in an endeavor to cir
Gle the block with the hoop for prize.
The attorney general holds that the
game is gambling because, although it
may be possible to ring the block. the
chances of success at the game are so
small that the player is almost certain
to fail in his efforts.

HILL SAYS ELIOT UNFIT

Railroad Magnate Claims EduCa-

Plane for Ordinary Folk

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-That Charles w;
Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard
university, ''moved on a bigger plane
than most of mankind" and conse-
quently is not the proper person to
make a selection of books for the trav-
cling public, is the opinion of James
j. Hill, the railroad magnate.
Mr.. Hill, while in Chicago yester-
day, had few comments to make re-
garding the action Of the Chicago, Bur-
lington a. Quincy railroad in ousting
President Eliot's "five-foot shelf" from
it's parlor cars.
president Eliot has so many years
of useful life to look back on that the
ordinary person cannot look at him
horizontally" said Mr.. Hill. HE moves
in much higher plane than most of
mankind.
Books that might appeal to President
Eliot probably would not cause the
average traveller to entifuse. His books
require too much heavy thinking for
a railroad journey. People these days
are averse to heavy thinking. \.

MOlSSANT IS REPORTED
NOW FUGITIVE IN EUROPE
RevoIutionist Said to Have Gone
as ZeIaya's- Agent

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-According
to advices here the last heard of John
Moissant in Central America was a
report that he had been sent to swift
zerland and France4by President Ze-
laya of Nicaragua shortly before the
latter was forced to flee from that
country Moissant's European mission
for Zelaya was said to be the study
of dirigibles and aeroplanes which
Zelaya wanted for his army.
1t is in connection with John w.
Moissant's career in Nicaragua that
the more thrilling experiences are told
of his life. 1t was he who was re-
ported to have headed the revolution
against Salvador in 1905. After invad-
ing Salvador as far as Sonsonate
Moissant's followers became discour-
aged and insisted upon returning. The
Salvadorean army of several thousand
was ready to crush them, but Mois-
SAINT, it is said. did not turn back until
his men had looted the town, includ-
ing the bank

CHATHAM, Eng, Aug. 18.-John B.
Moissant, the Chicago aviator who is
attempting to fly from Paris to Lon
don, descended for the second time
near here today, breaking the propeller
and part of the frame of the machine
in making a landing. The resumption
of the flight today is impossible.
The good fortune which accompanied
Moissant in the earlier stage of his
flight from Paris and in his record
breaking journey across the channel
with a passenger seems to have de-
serted him with his arrival on English
soil. Motor defects in the aeroplane,
which yesterday had worked without
a slip, forced him to make two sue
cessive landings when about half way
on the course between London and
Tilmanstone, whence he assembled at
Abs o'clock this morning. His first
descent, mile from Sittingbourne,
about thirty-five miles from London,
was due to the displacement of a
small pin in the mechanism, necessi-
tating a descent. He narrowly escaped
disaster in the landing, just missing
the mouth of a deep pit, fall into
which would have meant death for
the aviator and his mechanician.
SECOND ATTEMPT FAILS
Repairs to the machine detained him
nearly three hours. He then made
second start, but had scarcely covered
ten miles when a second accident
brought him down at .Rainham, Kent.
A rod connecting up the driving gear
of sthe aeroplane was fractured, stop
ping the engine and forcing the Chi
cagoan to plane down Immediately to
the ground. He landed in field,
but only skllful handling of the aero
plane prevented it's plunging into
clumo of trees.
Moissant made an abrupt turn to es-
cape this and the machine came down
heavily, breaking the chassis and
smashing a blade of the propeller.
Moissant and his mechanician climbed
out uninjured, but on looking over the
damage found that the repairs could
not be accomplished on the spot and
that they must wait for new parts,
for which they Immediately tele-
graphed to Paris.
Moissant spent the afternoon repair
ing his damaged machine. His greatest
difficulty, obtaining another propeller,
has been overcome by the offer OF j.
Armstrong Drexel of a duplicate pro-
peller from Drexel's own Bleriot. This
part was dispatched from Blackpool
tonight and will be taken by motor car
from London to Rainham.
Moissant wired his gratitude to
Drexel and will resume his journey at
the earliest possible moment. He
describes his machine as being con-
entirely of aluminium. 1T will,
he says, carry 1900 pounds, yet 1t
weighs only $50 pounds.
The second machine is neither a
monoplane nor biplane. 1t is without
a single wire stay and the planes are
built on the bridge principle, and are
capable of holding 500 pounds on either
and without bending.

chine" Moissant SAID, lit will be

With reference to his nationality,
Moissant observed:
