Machine Tits Dangerously When
Over the Breakers at At
IantiC City

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July TO-
Glenn H. Curtiss made the only flight
of the day here at 7:05 o'clock D. M,
staying In the air only five minutes.
When over the heavy breakers, his ma
chine tilted dangerously in the strong
wind and he was prevented from trying
for the $4,000 speed prize over the fifty
mile course during the day. The crowds
were fearful for his safety.
Curtiss made the flight against the
advice of the Aero club officers after
the wind had driven the stake yachts
to harbor and forced the lifeboats sent
to watch him in case of accident to
return to the beach. The flight was
made to satisfy the crowd that had
waited all day to see the machine in
action.
Brookins made no attempt to go up.
He announced that he will make no at
tempt at present to break the altitude
record of 6175 feet. His sensational
feat of yesterday is still the leading
subject of comment. He said today
that he felt no fear about getting back
to the earth safely.

SPEED SO MILES AN HOUR
Associated Press1

BETHANY PLAINS, RHEIMS,
France, July 10.--The international
aviation meeting at which new records
were set closed today. The meeting
was a triumph for monoplaneS, which
made all the records and carried off
the majority of the prizes. The ex-
perts declare that the most important
achievement was the record made by
Leon Morane, who yesterday attained
a speed of l06 kilometers (65.93 miles)
an hour. They believe that this will
be followed soon by speed of 1S0
to 200 kilometers.
At such a speed aeroplanes would
be little affected by the wind. A time
is in sight, they think, when travel
by aeroplane will be as safe and twice
as fast as by train.
The distance and dura tion records
established by M. La Bouchere yes

utes AZ seconds, succeeded in bettering
these records today, covering the five
kilometers in 2 minutes SO seconds,
and the ten in minutes and AZ Sec

prize for twenty kilometers (12.44

The cross-country prize over a twen-
ty-two kilometer course was won by
LIE Blanc in a monoplane. The officers
prize for a fight of fifty kilometers
went to Lieutenant Cameron. He, in
company with Lieutenant Fiequant, at
the close Of the meeting, left on a
machine for the camp where he is
stationed. The only American COM
petitor, Weyman, while he did not
win a prize, made a good showing.
In another flight late this evening
Morane further reduced the time for
five kilometers, covering the distance
in minutes and 48 seconds, a speed
of more than ITO kilometers (6S.42

BACK FIRE SAVES

Army of Fighters Plan to Corral
Forest Flames Between
Two Creeks

VISALIA, July 10.-The forest fire
which has been burning In the Sierra
slopes near Grant National park and
which entered the forest of giant trees,
fifty miles east of here, now is thought
to be under control Back firing has
been resorted to in order to save the
big trees, and 1t is planned to corral the
fire between two creeks.
The fire penetrated into the preserve
of big trees, but none Of the trees was
burned, although the escape was
narrow.
A large force of soldiers, civilians
and rangers have been fighting the
flames for three days. The fire now is
out on the east and south, and the only
danger now is that the back fire will
get away from control. Several thou

SUBMARINE SAFE;
SMASHES RECORD
Fears DispeIled by Report of
SaImon's Arrival at Ber-
muda Islands

HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 10,-The
United States submarine Salmon, which
sailed from Quincy, Mass, at o'clock
on the afternoon of July 3, made st.
David's light at o'clock this morning.
She remained until o'clock and took
a pilot aboard, arriving at Hamilton
three hours later. The Salmon encoun-
tered a rough sea on the 4th and 9Th,
but suffered no damage. She fully
demonstrated the practicability of the
submarine for long ocean voyages.
The distance between Quincy and
Hamilton is about 800 miles, and the
Salmon made an average speed of be-
tween six and seven knots an hour.
The seaWorthiness of the little craft
was proved to the entire satisfaction
of the representatives aboard and the
the builders.
The Salmon will proceed from Ber-
muda to Hampton Roads, but the date
for her sailing has not yet been fixed.
The submarine is under command of
former Lieutenant Commander Greg
ory C. Davidson and carries a crew of
tWenty-one officers and men.
When the vessel left Quincy two
women relatives of men on board
tainted, and many believed that the
little craft was going to certain de-
struction. The navy department itself
CONSIDERED the experiment d dangerous
one, owing to the number of disasters
to submarines in the past year, and the
trip was only undertaken in order to
give a thorough test to this type of
vessel with view of building others if
it proved successful, or of largely dis
continuing work with submarines built
on the present lines.
There has been strong criticism of
the department as engaging in a piece
of fat'l folly in starting the Salmon
on the present long trip.

GIANT TREES IN SEQU0IA
PARK SAFE FROM FLAMES
Forest Fires Do Not Reach Fa-
nous Tract

FRESNO, July 1O.-The forest fire
which has been raging in the Sequoia
National park in the Sierras for the
past three days never entered the giant
forest, as was at first reported. In
formation to that effect was received
direct from the scene tonight. Prac-
tical1y no merchantable timber was de-
stroyed, the flames being confined al
most altogether to underbrush. The
fire is now at the edge of the pine belt,
but is under control, and while there
is still some danger that the fire may
reach the big trees. the force of men
now working there is considered suffi-
cient to stop any outbreaks that may
occur. The loss is very small.
