TWO AV|ATORS
COME TO GRIEF
Brookins and Leblanc Hurt During
Contest for Speed Prize-Grahame-
White Makes Fast Time.

BELMONT AVIATION FIELD, l.
l., Oct 29.-America's hope OF retain
ing the Gordon Bennett trophy in the
Coupe International D'Aviation, was
dimmed today, when Walter Brookins
in Wright flyer, fell 80 feet to the
ground. The wonderful little racer
with which the Wright brothers ex-
pected to retain the worlds air
trophy, fell directly in front OF the
grandstand and was smashed to a
crumpled mass of steel, canvas and
wood Young Brookins. badly hurt,
is being cared for in the emergency
hospital by Miss Katherine Wright,
sister of the Dayton aviators.
Half an hour earlier, while making
his last lap in the Gordon Bennett
race, Alfred Leblanc, master flyer of
the French team, came to grief
against telephone pole just outside
OF the aviation field. Up to the time
of his accident Leblanc was establish
ing the worlds record for long dis
lance speed flying, having made fifty
nine miles at the rate of sc 1-2-miles
an hour.
Up to noon the fastest time in the
race had been made by Claude
Grahame-White in his 100-horsepower
Bleriot. He completed the 100-kilo-
metre course (6214 miles,, In one
hotf, one minute and four 60-l00 sec

hour.

ling. The Dayton youth in his
Baby grand" Wright racer, was out
for trial spin. Directly in front of
the grandstand his machine plunged
suddenly to earth and lay a pile of
debris until the stoical Wilbur Wright
had it loaded on a dray and carted
away.
During the forenoon only one other
racer had completed the Gordon Ben
nett course This was Alec. Ogilvie,
In a Wright racer, his elapsed time
being two hours, six minutes and
$3.50 seconds. He was compelled to
alight for an hour because of defec-
tive ignition. But for the hour he
was on the ground, Ogilvie's time
would almost have equalled that of
Grahame-White.
Claude Grahame-White in his 100
horsepower Bleriot, member of the
English speed team, was the
first starter in the Gordon Bennett
race today. His official starting time
was S:42:39.66. He Immediately shot
out over the long course at a speed
estimated at mile-a-minute.
Grahame-White finished his first
lap In 3 minutes 1884 seconds. His
speed was estimated at 5S-miles an
hour for the whole course.

Afflnities figures In nearly every
case heard in Saturday mornings d.
vorce session, presided over by Judge
Hosmer. The docket was one Of the
largest in the history of the court,
and when Judge Hosmer looked out
on the sea Of faces before him, he
sent out &C. @. d." message, and
Judge Murphy responded with an Of
fer OF assistance.
Jessie May Dickson introduced a
whole raft of letters to show that her
husband, John ID. Dickson, an cleo
trical contractor, had established and
maintained a residence in Boston for
one OF his afinities, while the family
resided in Newport, r. l. News Of
this came to Mrs. Dickson when bills
started coming to the house for fur
niture which her husband had sent
to the Boston establishment. Letters
requesting more furniture and thank
ing him for flowers also fell into Mrs.
Dickson's hands, and these were

fnities. Some of the letters were
signed Mrs. Benjamin, others bore the
signature of Helen Moore and a num-
Der were signed affectionately, Your
Little Girl"
Mrs. Dickson, who now lives with
her parents in Detroit, was given a
decree.
AfRpities also wrecked the home of
Frederick Z. Jarvis, proprietor of two
estaurants in Detroit, so his wife
testified, and she was corroborated
by her brother. That these aflnities
were not all white women, was the
shocking testimony of the brother,
who had acted as a detective in seek
ing evidence.
The brother said he had followed
his brother-in-law to several resorts
and had seen him enter rooming
houses with other women. Once the
brother sent for Mrs. Jarvis and she
arrived in time to see her husband
emerge from place with woman.
Mrs. Jarvis said her husband made
about $500 per week from his res
taurants and rode about town in a
$4,000 auto.
Robert Gordon didn't exactly wave
the bloody shirt, but he did hold up
one of his own garments which was
badly riddled. He said his wife had
torn the shirt from him during one
of her angry spells. Then she an
nounced that she was going to leave
him and enter resort. She carried
out the threat, he said. He got a
decree.
Walter and Gertrude Lowry lived
happily, the husband testified, until
he introduced a friend into his home.
The friend supplanted him in the af-
fections of his wife. After the friend
came, Lowry said, his wife had no
further use for him, and later left him.
He was given a decree.

RAILROAD BILL Of
INTEREST

Spokane, Wash, May 9.-Promi-
nent shipper and freight rate experts
in Spokane and throughout the
Northwest believe that the passage
by the Senate of the long and short
haul clause of the railroad bill,
adopted by the House on May 8, will
solve the chief problem of every in
land point in the United States not
now getting the benefit of terminal
rates.
A. w. Doland, chairman of the in
terstate commerce, committee of the
Spokane chamber of commerce. which
instituted the first action under the
new interstate commerce commission
law for equitable rates against the
transcontinental railroads, says there
is every reason to believe that the
Senate will concur in the action of
the House, though, he added, it is
likely there will be lively fight be-
fore the clause or one similar in eff
feet is adopted.
Percy P. Powell, representative of
the Spokane Merchants association,
said on returning to Spokane from
Washington, D. c., where he attend
ed several conferences in the inter-
est of the organization to discuss the
rate question, that while Spokane
will not receive terminal or relative
rates in the forthcoming decision by
the Interstate Commerce commission,
he has been informed that there will
be material reductions in the rate
tariffs.
"The decision will be a general
one" he added, covering Spokane,
Reno, Salt Lake and Denver, also
establishing a precedent for other
interior points all over the country"
The Spokane chamber of COM
merce has received advices that the
western provinces in Canada are ar
ranging to make a campaign for
lower rates, the procedure being SIM
liar to that followed by the Spokane
rate case, in which it was shown that
the railroads are discriminating
against this city on west-bouni
freight.

Germproof Silk Gauze for Kisses.

New York, Mry Cupid will be
pasteurized. At the bazaar of the
National Pharmaceutical society be-
ginning May in the Palm Garden,
the hygienic kiss will be demon
strated for the special benefit of all
true lovers.
The N. P. S. is an association Of
registered drug clerks, and one of
them has invented the kiss in quar-
antine. He describes 1t as "a kiss
through disinfected silk guaze, the
guaze being held in an ivory or met
al frame and placed between the two
pairs of lips before they meet" The
guaze is to be soaked Gin pleasant
antiseptic, to be scented as the users
wish"
One indignant young woman, how
ever, asserts that kissing through
the germ arresting osculator would
be about as pleasant as eating ice
cream through fire screen.
This piece of excess baggage is the
invention of a German chemist. 1t
is his theory that persons who want
to kiss will feel safer if they kiss
through this machine, which he
thinks will cause a marked decrease
in the number Of cases of Group,
whooping cough, etc. He thinks so
we'll of his invention that he will kiss
