FLIGHT IN AN
AEROPLANE
Former President up With Hox-

MADE AVIATOR NERVOUS
Passenger Waved His Hands to
Crowd Too Vigorously to Suit
Man at the Levers

st. Louis, Oct. 12-Theodore Roose-
welt, yesterday made an areoplane
fight here as the passenger Of Archl-
bald Hoxsey. He travelled twice
around the aviation field at Kinloch
park in three minutes. 20 seconds He
waved his hand at the thousands Of
spectators, much to the discontinue
of the aviator, who feared that the
colonel might hit a controlling cord.
When the machine alighted easily a
few feet from the starting place a
mighty shout of applause went up.
Hoxsey a Wright aviator, said that
Mr.. Roosevelt made a good passen-
ger except that he was afraid the
colonel would fall out or interfere
with the engine. The colonel waved
his hands at the crowd so vigorously
that Hoxsey called out TO him, Keep
your hands on the rail, colonel"
Col. Roosevelt who had forgotten
to hold himself in, waved his hands
once more and then obeyed orders
1.-THE colonel's fight was a surprise to
everybody. The colonel's fight was
everybody. Although he had
been invited to go, no one had
the least idea that he would do SC
and he himself did not decide to fly
until the moment before he stepped
into the machine.

were assigned to rooms for the night.
Between their arrival and o.

Were Exaggerated

from Lisbon to Spain and thence tel
egraphed to Cardinal Merry Del Val
were received at the Vatican yester-
day and confirmed the press dispat-
ches that had told OF the expulsion Of
the Jesuit and other religious orders
from the Portuguese capital. Up to
this time the holy see had held the
hope that these reports were exagger-
ated. Nothing direct from Mgr. Ton
II, the papal nuncio at Lisbon, had
been received, owing to the prohibit
tion placed upon cipher messages by
the provisional government. The be-
lief had been entertained at the Vati-
can that the new government of Por-
tugal would be considerate OF the re-
ligious orders in view of the patriotic
work which they had accomplished in
Portugal and its colonies.
