ALPINE Filler DIES.
Chavez Succumbs to Injuries Reciev.
ed When His Machine Fell.

Domodossola, Italy, Sept. 81
George Chavez, aged 25, the Peru
Wan aviator, who was injured in
alighting after his flight over the
Alps Friday, died at 2:25 o'clock this
afternoon.
George Chavez, the young aviator
who on Friday sprang into interna-
tional prominence when he made
his thrilling aeroplane flight over the
threatening gorges and towering
peaks of the Alps, was born in Paris
In 1887. He secured his aviator's
license from the Aero club February
19 of this year
Chavez, though he astounded the
world by a flight which had been
esteemed barely short Of the impos-
sible, failed to reach Milan, the goal,
the attainment Of which would have
meant the winning of a prize of $2o,-
600 offered by the italian Aviation
society.
He had passed in safety the dan
gerous part Of his journey and was
descending at Dohodossola, on the
Italian side of the Alps, with only so
safe and easy miles between him and
his goal, when his monoplane, caught
by gust Of wind, turned over and
bore him to earth beneath it's wreck
age.
AT first it was thought that the
daring airman was not seriously in.
jured, but later it was found that he
had sustained internal injuries
which proved fatal
In his wonderful fight from
Brieg, Switzerland, to Domodossola,
the young Peruvian covered in 40
| minutes the distance which took Ma
poieon's cohorts full fortnight to
cross.
Incidentally, in surmounting the
| great natural fortiications of Italy,
the aviator may have broken his
| own height record, which had stood
against the world up to that time
| Some of the spectators said that after

the short cut over the Monseera
pass, 5000 feet above the sea level
and Thus may have broken his rec

GAYNOR NOT CANDIDATE.
Refusal to Run for Gov
crnOr of New York.

New York. Sept 27.-James Creel-
man of New York made public to-
day a letter from Mayor Gaynor. Mr..
Creelman decided on this step be-
cause he became convinced today
that nothing but this action would
prevent Mr.. Gaynor's nomination by
the Democratic State convention. The
letter follows:
"St James, Sept. 26, 1910.
Dear Mr.. Creelman:
"I am this day writing a letter to
Chairman Dix stating that I am not
a candidate for the nomination for
governor and refuse to become such.
do this to remove all doubt on the
subject which may have arisen by
reason of irresponsible statements
which I am informed are being cir
culated. No utterance Of mine has
put the matter in doubt
Some have said to me that the
convention may nominate me, al
though I am not candidate. 1t
seems to me that it might appear vain
or egotistical for me to assume in my
letter to Mr.. Dix that that extraordi-
nary thing might happen. I therefore
write this supplemental letter to you
to take to Rochester and show there
so as to prevent my nomination II it
should appear 20 be imminent.
Make it. plain that if nominated l
would decline to accept. 1 could not
aba ndon to their fate the splendid
men whom I have appointed to office
and who are working so hard for
good government nor could | aDan-
don the people of the city Of New
York after so short a service. You
may make this letter public in ad-
vance of going to Rochester if in
your judgment, YOU think the situa-
ton calls for it. But do not do so un-
less it be plainly necessary Every
honest man will understand me.
Sincerely yours.
w. ]. Gaynor.

pear to dishearten the old guard. for
they continued their fight on the con-
vention floor when the progressives
submitted resolutions whereby the
committees should be made by rep
resentatives from each congressional
district, the members to be named by
the temporary chairman.
Seeing that this gave absolute
power to Col. Roosevelt, James w.
Wadsworth. speaker Of the assembly,
strongly opposed the resolution.
The progressives, however, were in
the ascendency. and the resolutions
drafted by friends of Col. Roosevelt
were adopted.
There being no contest before the
convention. the makeup Of the COM
mittee on credentials was without
significance and it was quickly named
and announced by Col. Roosevelt as
was the committee on permanent or
ganization.
The committee on resolutions,
which was to thresh over the import
ant direct primary plank, caused Col.
Roosevelt to hold up the convention
until he could go over the names
before him. He called Representative
Herbert Parsons of New York to the
speakers stand and after striking
out three Of the names submitted,
announced the resolutions commit
tee, among whom were William
Barnes, Jr., James w. Wadsworth,
George w. Aldrich, Senator Cobb,
author of the recently defeated di-
rect primary bill; Seth Low, former
mayor Of New York city; Jacob
Gould Schurman, president of Cor
nell university; Senator Bracket,
Representative Payne and Represen-
