WAR UPON REDMOND
 FAILS OF PURPOSE

London, December 1s.-one feature of the election has been the comparative failure of the O'Brienites' campaign against Redmond. Although they had more than a score of candidates, their strength in the new parliament has not been increased. O'Brien himself was a candidate in three constituencies, but was elected in only one, Cork City, while Timothy Healey, his ablest lieutenant, is without seat.
 In an interview MT. O'Brien affected no surprise at not doing better. He said the utmost he had hoped for was the adj ton of two or three new seats.
 Tn my opnion, said MT. O'Brien. ''the success of the Redmondites is almost en- tirely due to the attitude of the English urionist press, which daily celebrated his glories as the dictator of England. This has placed him on a tremendous pedestal in Ireland, played his game much more effectively than his own papers did.
 In OBrien's opinion the only possible issue of the present imbroglio will be the resumption of the veto conference on a broader basis. He denied the rumors Of his retirement to private life, and de- clared his intention to move for a paria- mentary inquiry. into the intrigues, of his opponents with Dublin castle.

Grahame- White Receives Bad Cuts on His Face In
 Accident
MEMPHIS AVIATION MEET
 IS LONGEST ON RECORD
Henry Fnrman Makes Long Flight In France and Would Have Broken Worlds Record But He Came
 Down Too Soon

Dover, England, December 1s.- Claude Grahame- White, the English aviator. who recently won the interna- tional aviation cup at Belmont park. had a narrow escape from serious in jury today when his machine was wrecked and he was badly cut about the face.
 A large number of aviators have been waiting here for the last fortnight to compete for the prize of s20.O00 of tered by Baron de Forest for the long est flight across the English channel in 1910, the flight to be made by an Eng lishman in an English built machine. Grahame- White this morning ascended for trial flight in strong wind. His machine began to rock and he was unable to restore its equilibrium. It turned over, plunged to the ground and was completely wrecked.
 The aviator fortunately. fell a It, tie to one side. It was thought at first he had suffered concussion of the brain, as he was unconscious, but ae soon recovered and it was found that he had received nothing more than some cuts about the face. It is ex- pected he will be about again within a week. He has ordered another bi- plane of the Wright type from Bristol and will make another attempt to win the prize.
 second competitor for the prize, Sopwith. fared better than White He left East Church. Sheppey island. 1t s:15 o'clock in the morning, crossed from Dover to Calais and descended at Beaumont, Belgium, distance of IA miles.
 In his trial flight Grahame- White had descended to within 100 feet of the ground when his machine began to waver. His actual fall probably did not exceed 70 feet
 Sopwith completed his flight of 174 miles just under three and one-half hours. This is the first time that a British made aeroplane has crossed the channel anu in additions, is record flight for distance under the conditions prevailing. No tugs or other craft fol- lowed the aeroplane on its flight from Dover to Calais and no other precau- tions were taken against accidents.

Farman Makes Long Flight

Etampes, France. December 1S.-Henry Fnrman, competing for the Michelin cup, today made a remarkable flight of eight hours and thirteen minutes. Owing to fierce north wind. however, his progress was slow and he covered only 46S kilo- meters (2s7 miles), against 465. made by Maurice Tabuteau on October 2s in sim liar competition.
 Farman deceived by the applause of the spectators believed he had beaten the distance record and descended. He was greatly disappointed to find that he had not equalled the former record. Tabuteau occupied six hours in his flight for the Michelin cup, which is awarded annually to the aviator making the longest sus- tained flight in the year A premium of s4coo goes to the winner.
