BAD LUCK FOLLOWS ELY
Spends Second Night Nineteen
Miles from Chicago.
A DAY OF ENGINE TROUBLE
Aeroplane Badly Damaged
Says He VIII Fly Here IF 1t
Takes a Month.

Indiana Harbor. Ind, Oct. 10.-Eugene
Ely, aviator. alighted in a field two miles
south of Indiana Harbor at 4:S2 p. m. to-
day, having covered only nineteen miles of
his proposed cago-New York fight.
ely announced that he would not attempt
TO resume his fight until tomorrow. He
walked into town and telephoned for assist
ance He declared that his engines were
working badly and that the aeroplane had
been damaged in making the descent.
The wheel broken last evening near Bev-
erIy Hills, eleven miles from his starting
place, at Hawthorne Park, repaired
overnight but, owing TO dense fog, which
delayed even the trains, Ely was unable 10
leave the ground until s:2S O'Clock this
morning, wien the mist had cleared away.
He rose about seventy-five feet, but had
gone crly short distance when he noticed
that his engine was again missing the
spark.
The ground looked good for landing, bat
Ely discovered wnen he brought his biplane
to earth that the long weeds in which he
had alighted concealed q ditch. The fiimsy
covering gave way and the biplane settled
into the mud and water.
An examination showed break in the
gasolene feed pipe. probably sustained yes
terday, when the machine ran into rock.
This damage was remedied, and other re-
pairs Occasioned by the plunge into the
ditch made. and Ely resumed his fight at
4.07 p. m Ill luck still followed him. how
ever and twenty-five minutes later he was
again forced to descend, this time giving UP
for the night
Ely was flying steadily when the engine
again began to work badly. He descended
swiftly to the ground. The machine was
badly damaged but he was unhur1. The
| descent was made about midway between
Whiting and East Chicago.
Ely started from the Hawthorne race
track yesterday at All p. m. and travelled
eleven miles in twelve minutes, when a
ciogged carburetor compelled him to de-
scend AT Beverly Hills. In trying to start
again he ran into a rock and core away his
front running wheel.
Despite the accidents. Ely expresses his
determination TO fly to New York IF it
takes d month"
