ed to window to find smoke pouring
from lower floor. and herself. her hus-

Mr. Harvey also heard the noise, but
paid no attention to 1t, till his wife cried
out to him. He sprang out Of bed and
opened the door. only to be driven back
by dense clouds of black smoke that
poured in from the hallway.
Merritt Smith, the nephew, did not wait
for further particulars, but climbed out
through a rear window and informed
the f1remen that his uncle and aunt were
still within. a ladder was hastily raised
for their escape.
Happily it was not needed The flames
were subdued in short order and the
trapped occupants of the third floor did
not leave their rooms

like serious conflagration. The quick
arrival and prompt work by the fremen
soon subdued the blaze.

tanning an average speed Of 32.7 miles an
hour. He won the prize of $4,000 offered
by the Chicago Record-Herald.
Along the route from Chicago to the
fair grounds hundreds of thousands Of
people cheered the daring young aviator
as he passed.
AS the great mechanical bird came to
the ground in the presence of 10000
persons, dipping as gracefully as q sea
gull, he was cheered vociferously for
fully half an hour. For a time 1t SEEM
ed that the enthusiastic crowd would not
only demolish the airship. but harm the
aviator in desire to do him homage.
Not Quite Six Hours.
Brookins left Washington Park meadow
at SD street, Chicago, at 9:15 am. He
descended at the fair grounds in Spring
field at 425. His actual flying time
was ) hours and 40 minutes. His first
stop was at Gilman. 81 miles from Chi
cago, and his second at Mount Pulaski
l69 miles from the starting point. The
stop at Gilman was to replenish his
fuel and oil supply, and that at Mount
Pulaski was necessitated by a hot en-
CINE pump.
The trip included thrilling race with
special train on the Illinois Central,
which had essayed to keep up with
Brookins. but which was badly beaten
He reached the fair grounds eight min
utes before the rail flyer arrived at

the hand as he stepped from his seat
after the long and spectacular flight was

Springfield.
Eager to Pay Homage.
More than a hundred special officers,
besides large force Of deputy sheriffs,
tried in vain to keep the crowds of the
field on which Brookfns had Alighted.
They swarmed over the fence on all sides
and literally damned about the aeroplane,
cheering like men gone mad.
At every town and hamlet and along
the country lanes people had gathered
fro mmiles around to see BrookinEr
flight. Farmers lined the railroad track
from Chicago to Springfield: they stood
for hours on houseteps and barns.
Ploughmen stood with eyes turned heav-
onward, while their teams stood idly in
the burrows.
Asked about the flight. Brookins said:
why 1t was nothing: only staying up
that's all. 1t merely took more time, and
that's about the only difference from q
practice flight. knew could make it.
1T was one Of the prettiest flights J

low as 800 feet several times. 1 could

acre, almost. There must have been

JUDGE ADOPTS NEW RULE.
No Longer Selects Young lawyer
for Destitute Defendants.

CHICAGO, September 3O.-A new era
dawned for destitute defendants in the
criminal court yesterday, when Judge
Hickman Scanlan abruptly altered the
system Of assigning lawyers for the de-
Tense.
1t has been customary for young law
yers admitted recently to the bar to hand
their cards to the Judge when a number
OF prisoners are arrAigned. and for the
judge to distribute the cards to the pris-
oners who have no lawyers or money to
hire any.
Put number of prominent lawyers will
wake up today to find that there is new
system. Judge Scanlan calls 1t the legal
directory system" It consists OF taking
the directory OF the eity's lawyers, open
ing Il at random and taking the first
prominent name noticed instead OF the
