RUSSELL FLIES NEW PLANE
Harmon's Flight to Greenwich Is
Promised for To-day.

Mineoia, Long Island, July 5.-Twelve
hundred persons were on hand this evening
to witness the flights held on the aviation
field here. Much to their disappointment.
Clifford B. Harmon did not appear. and his
biplane was not taken out Of its shed
Persons were allowed within the grounds
free of charge, as 1t thought the
aviators who were to fly would not furnish
anything sensational.
Things did not turn out quite that way.
George Russell. who has the newest Cur
tiss machine, and who has flown in it only
twice before, on which occasions he met
with accidents, gave exhibition thu
brought more cheers from the crowd than
the flights of Harmon. as he showed great
pluck and d willingness to face danger 20
please the crow.i.
Russell has d six-cylinder Hartman en-
CINE in his biplane and when everything
was running smoothly he gave orders 20
turn loose. intending to go a few feet off
the ground. His machine rose to a height
Of thirty feet and Russell flew five miles.
Three of his cylinders went out Of business
soon after he started, but the other three
were sufficiently strong to keep him going
When he came down he discovered that his
water tank had been leaking on the car
buretor, and this caused the trouble
Clifford B. Hartman will try to make the
wenty-six-niIe flight to Greenwich to-
morrow landing on an island in front OF
the country place of his father-in-iaw,
Commodore E. c. Benedict.
Pontoons have been fitted on his biplans,
and a number of inner tubes of automobile
tires will be fitted on the tail of his ma
chine to keep nim afioat in case he has TO
light on the water. He expects to go into
the air at 80 O'Clock.

facturer Of No. 149 Broadway. foreman
OF the additional body.
In charging the two juries Judge Foster
told them that the test of the value OF d
grand jury's service 10 the community was
not measured by the number of indictments
found Neither District Attorney Whit
man nor former District Attorney Jerome,
he said. was eager 10 have indictments
found unless there was a reasonab bic chance
Of conviction. The real measure of a grand
iury's value was the careful consideration

If every one who violates law was
punished all our tenements would have TO
be turred into jails and the jaiIs could be
made over into summer resorts said Judge
Foster. The thing for you to remember is
not TO find indictments unless you are sat
