did was 10 poke fun at Hamilton. who
made a sorry figure In his dripping fan

aviator until he had fall or two.
Hamilton vented his disgust on CANNES

declares he will never own a dog as long
as he lives.

clothes. as the only apparel they had
with them was damaged by the soaking
they got.

AVIATORS FALL INTO SURF
Aeroplane Crippled in Accident Fails
to Leave Atlantic City Ac-

ATLANTIC CITY, N j., July S-The
curiosity of a bulldog endangered the
lives of Harry n. Atwood and Charles
X. Hamilton. the aviators. yesterday
afternoon. and compelled them to aban-
don for the time being their proposed
flight from this resort to Washington
Thirty Thousand Waiting.
Word was passed along the ocean front
yesterday afternoon that Atwood and
Hamilton. the latter the flyer of New
York-to-P Philadelphia fame, would leave
the beach at $50 o'clock en- route to
Washington. Fully 10000 people assem-
bled on the beach. the Boardwalk and
the piers to watch the machine ascend.
The big Boardwalk gallery was on the
Qui vive with excitement when the ma
chine started TO revolve.
Hamilton. who was to be Atwood's pas
senger. arrived here at O'Clock yester-
day morning. and together the aviators
looked over the aeroplane thoroughly and
took two or three test flights. Every
thing then was apparently just right At
S:15 o'clock the aeroplane was taken
from the pier and again tested when it
had settled on the beach.
Propeller Blade Split.
Just as Atwood's biplane started
from the ground on the first of several
attempts TO get into the air the dog,
running across the beach, poked his
nose into one Of the whirling propel-
lers The dog was killed by the con-
tact. and an examination Of the pro-
pellers showed that one Of the blades
had been slightly split.
There was scurry for copper wire.
and after some delay Hamilton sue
ceeded in temporarily repairing the
damage. Then followed another at
tempt to ascend. but it proved fall
ure. There was a stiff northeast wind
blowing from the ocean, and the tall
buildings that line the beach made the
air currents exceedingly tricky.
However. third effort TO get into
the air was made. and a great cheer
went up from the immense crowd as
the biplane began to ascend with the
two daring birdmen. 1t rose to a
height Of about 100 feet and the ex-
perts on the ground saw that some
thing was not working right. One Of
the propellers had a greater lifting |
power than the, other. and the machine |
sailed trif1e unsteadily.
Battle for Life.
As the machine was passing Illinois |
avenue gusts Of wind sweeping around |
the corners of the big hotels struck |
the damaged side with terrific force. At |
this time the machine was a short |
distance out over the ocean. Atwood
kept his nerve and attempted to swing |
around toward the shore The craft, |
still flying unsteadily, was blown up
opposite Kentucky avenue, square |
away. before the navigator edged the
machine in toward the beach
The biplane was lowering just above
the breaker line when another puff struck
it. Before Atwood could right the craft
II suddenly plunged downward and for
ward into the breakers close to the
waterdine. cry went up from the i'm
Tnense crowd and for the moment II was
feared that the nervy birdmen might be
caught in the waves. For an instant
they were hidden behind a cloud Of
spray.

DECLINES TO CONFIRM
RUM0RS OF DIVORCE
Public Declaration of Ethel
Barrymore's Purpose to
Sever Marital Ties.

NEW YORK, July s.-A dispatch to the
American from Los Angeles, Cal. says:
Although Miss Ethel Barrymore. the
actress, now playing In Los Angeles, has
denied herself to all interviewers and has
effectually closed all sources of informa-
ton. the statement is published here
that she will file suit for absolute di-
vorce Her husband is Russell Griswold
Colt
"All efforts to see Miss Barrymore have
failed Her intimate friends In Los An
geles refused to either deny or affirm the
story that she seeks a separation from
her young multi-millionaire husband.
Not Altogether a Surprise.
THE information that Mrs. Colt seeks
separation from her husband, however,
was not unexpected. For some time,
friends of the actress declare there have
been discussions between the couple. 1t
was hardly thought. however. that mat
tiers had reached such a serious stage.
There was to be a messenger en- route
to New York bearing papers in the di-
vorce action. 1t is understood that he
will reach New York Sunday. Whether
the suit is to be filed here or in Rhode
Island which she can claim as a resi-
dence by reason of her rich young hus-
bands parental home, is not known.
Either state permits divorce for variety
of causes.
"wednesday, 1t is understood, Miss
Barrymore. accompanied by few of her
intimate friends, went to a notary public
in Hollywood, where she is residing dur
ing her engagement here, and made the
necessary statements and affidavits. The
papers are then said to have been sealed
and placed In charge Of a messenger. who
Immediately took the night train to New
York.
plans of the actress are said to be
timed so that she would be far away
from New York to avoid widespread pub
licity which would follow her action.

Common Desire for Peace.

I'm the last twenty-five years we have
made great progress toward an interna-
ton condition in which war Is less likely
than heretofore. Under the inspiration
of a common desire for peace, treaties
have been made with reference to arbi-
tration and for the establishment of a
court at The hague for the settlement of
international disputes. We have amelio-
rated the ancient cruelties Of war by Red
Cross agreements. Now we are agreeing
upon what is called the declaration of
London, which, II confirmed. as 1t seems
likely to be, will take away from war on
the sea those principles Of lawful piracy
that have always characterized the deal
ing with private property of the citizens
Of enemies.
Every movement which tends to dis
courage war. and to furnish q means of
avoiding 1t. ought to receive, and does
receive, the earnest support of an or
ganization that has the purposes and
principles that actuate the society of the
Christian Endeavor."

PRESIDENT TAFT HOPES
FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE
Optimistic View Expressed in
Address to Christian En-
deavOr Convention.

ATLANTIC CITY, July SIN a speech
to the International Christian Endeavor
convention here last night President Taft
said:
Il am glad to say that today we have
reached such a point in the negotiations
for q treaty Of universal arbitration with
one OF the great European powers that
We can confidently predict the signing
Of satisfactory treaty. The arbitra-
ton treaty heretofore with Great Britain
and other countries has excepted from
the causes which may be arbitrated
those which involved the vital interests
Of either party or it's honor. The treaty
which We are now closing with Great
Britain eliminates these exceptions and
provides that all questions of interna-
uonal concern of justifiable character
shall be submitted to the arbitration of
an impartial tribunal"
Hope in Other Powers.
The President expressed the hope tra
eventually half dozen other European
countries may make similar treaties
Such action. he said. will not abolish
war, but would furnish forcible instru-
ment in preventing it.
Speaking Of the Christian Endeavor or
ganization. the President said: While
this country has no state church and en-
courages the utmost freedom of religious
belief and practice. 1t Is a fundamental
error to suppose that those who are re-
sponeible in any degree for the public
welfare may not in every proper way en-
courage all instrumentalities in better
ment OF the individual man, all moral
and religious movements for his higher
spiritual welfare without regard to the
denomination in which such movements
take their source. They necessarily tend
to a leaven Of the whole community and
to the Righteousness that exalteth a ma
tion.''
From praise of the society the Presi-
dent turned to peace and arbitration,
which. he said, could be expedited by the
influence Of such organizations. He said
in part:
