DAY FOR THE TUCSON
 ROAD RACE IS HERE
First Car Goes at Seven and Others
 as Soon as Possible Thereafter.

This morning at o'clock and prob- ably about every five minutes there
 after. the five automobiles which will
 make the race from Phoenix to Tue son for the Citizens silver cup, will
 leave The Republican office. They will be given fair start and bon voyage by Charles R. Green, business manager of The Republican. and the
 hope that the best man ana the best car will win.
 Quite a number of other cars will also join in the procession and will be timed out" at The Republican office if they wish, so that in the event they beat the time of those who really confess to being in the race. they may hook the silverware. The five are merely mentioned as in class by themselves for the reason that they believe the trophy will fall to some one of them. but it is no cer- tainty that some of the sedate old fellows who rather pride themselves on their wagons. may not win, for it is free and open race for all corners No previous entry is necessary and no fee is demanded. The only thing required to shine in this contest IS speed, and plenty of it.
 That there may be no excuses for the lame ducks about the restraining influence of the Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa City ordinances governing speed. the south side towns have both an- nounced that the speed limit has been raised for the benefit of all cars flying the yellow and green badge provided by the Phoenix Board of Trade. and while there has been no official indulgence" granted by the Phoenix city council, it is known that Marshal Moore always sleeps on New Years morning in years when that festival falls on Sunday. The only injunction that can he given to driv- CTS is to be careful and not hurt any body and go so fast that nobody can catch you.
 Owing to the illness of his daughter George Purdy Bullard. who is to rep resent the American Automobile asso- ciation at the race meet in Tucson on Monday, will not go over in his au- tomobile today. If nothing interferes he will take the train for Tucson this evening.

.ANDYS GIFT
 RECOGNIZED Germany Also Gets a Fund
 For Heroes THE G|VER'S IDENTIFICATION
His Letter Proferring It Jollies the Emperor of the Germans, His Race and the Members of It Who Have Become Americans.

New York, Dec. 31.-Andrew Carne-
 gie expressed great qualification on
 learning that his gift of a hero fund
 to Germany had been formally an-
 nounced in Berlin today.
 It is all most gratifying" he said,
 and I feel that it is a good work to
 reward the heroes of civilization who have saved or served their fellows"
 Mir. Carnegie's letter of September 22, 1910, to Emperor William offering to establish the fund reads in part:
 T am greatly pleased to hear that your majesty cordially approves the hero fund. It's success over the North American continent renders me anxious to extend the benefits to Germany. the root of the Teutonic race. from which We English-s speaking branches have sprung. I have desired this because during your present long reign Ger many has kept the peace under your guidance. Your hands are guiltless of shedding human blood, an example which cannot but impress and influ- ence the rulers of other lands in the direction of blessed international peace. The unpayable debt our republic owes to Germany furnishes another reason. The present census will show nearly. if not quite. 3OO0O. 900 of Ger mans and their descendants and these present or future citizens of the repub- lie form one of the most valuable of all its assets.
 We live in heroic age Industrial ism develops the heroes of peace. Scarcely day passes without herOism being revealed by one or another of the hero funds already established. In cases of mine accidents the volunteers for rescue work who risk their lives by descending into the pit invariably exceed the number required. Such are the heroes of civilization"
 The emperor in his reply said: '1n your letter you communicated to me your magnanimous decision to estab- fish for Germany a fund of $1, ,250. .000 for the amelioration of distress caused in the German empire by the death or of heroes attempting to save human life.
 Your fund will contribute in large measure to the duty of mankind to make appreciative provision for the l victims of heroic proofs of the love | of ones neighbor. being more effective i Iy discharged than has been possible i and will encourage the de- | cision of noble persons to engage in | acts of rescue by banishing the fear ] of the future of their survivors. I de- l sire to express to you. also in the name of the German people, my warmest thanks" sf.

HIS STIRRING LIFE.

New York, Dec. 31-John B. Moi sant. who was killed at New Orleans today, won the heart of every lover of daring sport when, on October 30 he flew from Belmont Park around the Statue of Liberty and back to the aviation field, thereby wrestling from the Englishman, Claude Graham White, one of the most highly valued trophies offered for aerial feats.
 Moisant was born in Chicago in 1870. and lived there until he was IS years old. He then started for the Pacific coast, drifted down to Central America. became a soldier of fortune and a trader, was finally driven from San Salvador when the general with whom he was fighting met defeat. Moisant at that time was wealthy, but his property was confiscated by the government Later he appeared in Paris. where the Wright brothers were then exhibiting. It was told of Moi sant that he went to Paris to buy an aeroplane, with the aid of which he planned to sail into the country from which he had been excluded and in a spectacular manner revive the spir- it's of the revolutionists. Moisant became interested in the possibilities of the flying machines and affairs in Central America lost interest to him.
 From the start, his career as an aviator was marked by daring ex- ploits. He was the first man to cross the English channel with a passenger making the trip over the straits of Dover in a storm that would have turned back a less bold adventurer.

 The sprocket which actuated the propellers law athwart Hoxsey's face and the motor rested upon the right side of the body. Every one of the ribs , on that side was shattered into frag- ments. An iron rod, broken by the force of the crash, held the body inn paled upon its jagged point Hoxsey had been in the air an hour and a half and had sailed over the summit of Mount Wilson. whose heights he had conquered twice before since the meet began.
 Walter Brookins, who originated the spiral glide and dip. which brought Hoxsey and Ralph Johnstone to death. was standing in front of the press stand with his back turned to the field as he talked to reporter. Then the shout went up: .Hoxsey is fallingl"
 "GoDl"
 Brooiins whirled and saw the crash. He muttered but one word, "God," crumpled up and fell in the roadway Although he had been in several seri- ous accidents himself. he rose thor eughly unnerved and cried like a child.
 Field announcers were rushing up and down shouting through their mega phones: There is no cause for alarm; Hoxsey is all right" But Brookins wassnot convinced.
 That's a lie." he shouted back at one of the announcers. "Hoxsey's dead. I know it." and again he burst into tears.
 Brookins was not the only airman overcome by the tragedy Charles F. Willard of the Curtiss team likewise collapsed Willard had predicted just moment before Hoxsey fell that an accident was sure to overtake him in that treacherous atmosphere, and al- most before he had completed the ut terance of his prophecy, it was veri- find. T knew it was coming" he sob0ed a few minutes later, in the hangar.
 Although the tragedy possessed ev- cry element calculated to arose the the crowd to pitch excitement, it re- mained remarkably quiet Souvenir hunters were conspicuous by their ab- sence

HOW MoISANT DIED.
Shot Downward Hundreds of Feet
 Like a Plummet.

New Orleans, Dec. 31,-John ID. i Moisant, the aviator. was killed this morning while trying to make a land ! ing at Harahan, twelve miles above New Orleans. His machine turned head downward at an altitude of about 100 feet. throwing Moisant out head first. The machine was totally wrecked.
 Harahap is twelve miles from the center of New Orleans. On one side lies the Mississippi river and on the other a small strip of dense swamp land, separating it from Lake Pont- chartrain. The air currents in that section are peculiar, gales frequently sweeping westward along the land and meeting blasts coming down the river. causing swirls in the air which have been noted as dangerous by several aviators.
 Moisant was placed on a flat car and hurried to a hospital in this city. but died on the way.
 Moisant. in his, 50-horscpower Ble- riot monoplane. was trying to effect a landing on the Harahan field before trying for the Michelin cup for a dis tance flight, when suddenly the ma chine. for some unknown reason, turned head downward and the spec tators saw the aviator pitch clear over his machine. falling like a plum met, head downward.
 Moisant's neck was broken by the fall. wind apparently being the cause of the accident. He had been blown toward the earth and was turned from his course by the strong wind, and in trying to get back swerved suddenly to the left and attempted his famous right circle" which is considered so dangerous. It is said that but one other man ever attempt ed it. At this instant the wind caught the machine and it tipped. being pointed directly toward the earth. and came down like a flash. while Moi sant was hurled from it as if from sling
 The body will probably be taken to Chicago, where Moisant was born.

FLUNG FROM THE SKY.
The Defeat and Death of Hoxsey at the
 End of a Week of Triumph.

Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 31-Winds whose treacheries Arch Hoxsey had so often defied and conquered, killed the aviator today. As if jealous of his intrepidity, they flung him and his fragile flying machine down out of the sky and crushed out his life upon the field from which he had risen but a short time before with a laughing promise to pierce the zenith. surpass his own phenomenal altitude records and soar higher than any man dare go.
 Cross currents whirled off by vagrant storm caught his bi-plane and hurled him 563 feet to earth. Catching his frail machine in one of the spiral glides. the warning winds sported with it a moment. juggled it and then threw it down. When the field attendants reached the spot where the tangled pile of wreckage lay, Hoxsey was dead. One side of the face was crushed in.
 The body lay broken and twisted al- most out of semblance to a human form. Everyone on the grandstand wit messed the tragedy. as it occurred on the far side of the course. All sat awe-s stricken. in silence, paralyzed with horror. Not a person moved; not a sound was heard until it was announced through a megaphone: "Hoxsey has been kilied.'
 WALLS OF WOMEN.
 Then came the sound of sobbing and crying from scores of women who short time before took advantage of the ladies' day privilege and visited the hangars to see the aeroplanes. Return | ing the compliments showered upoE him by his feminine visitors. Hoxsey promised to soar higher than he or any other man had before flown.
 Even then the wind had attained velocity that kept cautious aviators on the ground. Moreover, it created a Swiss cheese" atmosphere, the most treacherous meteorological condition aviators have to contend with.
 There is nothing by which it may be known why Hoxsey did not go higher than 7I42 feet which the paragraph i showed he had attained. but he ap- 1 parently encountered at that altitude ! the same treacherous conditions of conflicting air currents that finally | overwhelmed him. Nevertheless with | the same reckless daring he had dis | played daily, he descended by a series | of spiral glides and was performing one of the thrilling rolling dips when the | bi-plane capsized and shot to the earth. |

New York, Dec. 31.-Counting Hox- sey and Moisant today, twenty eight aviators and passengers were killed this year in falls of heavier than air machines. against five in the two years previous. And those three years comprise a working history of the sport. In 1908 Lieut.. Thomas F. Self ridge, U. s. A., fell with Orville Wright in the first public trial of an aeroplane at Fort Meyer. He was the first passenger and the first man killed in q self sustained machine. Other Americans dead, all killed this year, are Johnson, Hoxsey and Moi sant
