out that if the colOred people really
want this exposition, they must say
SO in loud, clarion tones, or there
Will be "nothing doing" In some
circles, there is a doubt as to the
Feasibility Of holding a strictly Negro
exposition as early as 1913, on the
mammoth scale proposed, unless the
race is practically united on the pro-
Ject and the sentiment Of the South
can be brought strongly in favor Of
1t. Some are suggesting that as
! exposition to commemorate the ODcn-
| Ing Of tire Panama Canal is so near
that it would be a good idea to join
hands with this enterprise and thus
nave something tangible to tie to,
while making a crCditAb1e display of
the progress Of the Negro since
emancipation. Experienced directors
OF eXpositiOnS testify that it is no
chlld'S play to hold an exposition
on big scale and make it both an
artistic and financial success. The
pkPss OF the nation will now proceed
to thrcsh out the question on its
merits, and at the New York meet

| League some definite step will no
doubt be taken to clarity the situa-
tiion.

Capt. s. p. Lyon Of the 25th In
: fantry, is still on trial for alleged
failure to account properly for the
amount Of ammunition charged to
him at the time Of the shooting-un
of Brownsville 1t may be shown bv
the defense that the officers knew of
the bitter feeling Of the citizens of
brownsville against the colored
soldiers quartered there and that if
they knew this, it would be expected
that they would take steps to enable
the men to defend themselves in
case OF attack. This NAV be used In
justification OF the discrepancy in the
statements Of Capt. Lyons touching
MS stock of ammunition, on that
eVentful night and morning. Among
the witnesses are two colored sol.
diers. Israel Harris and Jacob Fraz-
Ter. 1T is generally believed in army
circles here that Capt. Lyon will be
eXonerated. The Brownsville puzzle
is as far from solution as ever.

AN AERIAL NAL DE-
MER EXPERIENCED
BY AVIATOR ELY
Saw Earth Rocking and Pitching and
Spots Danced Before His Eyes
Could Hardly Stand Alone.

New York, Aug. 30.-Air sickness a
has made it's appearance among the
aviators at Sheepshead Bay, adding a
new danger to the perils of aviation.
Eugene Ely, whose high flights and
graceful ghdes delighted the crowds
at the two weeks meet on the Coney
Island Jockey Clubs grounds, told his
fellow airmen at the close of the meet
of a violent attack of air sickness
which he experienced yesterday for
the first time. He was a quarter of a
mile in the air on the last lap of a
twelve-mile fight when the attack
came on.
He said that he suddenly began to
see the earth rocking and pitching be-
low him. Spots danced before his
eyes, his muscles weakened and all
the symptoms of a marked dizziness
struck him as he swung through the
air at a 45-miles-an-hour gait.
He saw that his life depended upon
his mastering the attack and he grip
ped the levers with every ounce of
his remaining strength, dropping the
thousand feet incline to the earth at
an angle which only a dangerous
emergency could justify.
He could barely stand alone when
the crowd in the field of the race track
gathered around him. but the attack
passed away after he had been on
terra firma for few minutes.
