Gilbert lost control of his monoplane for a second but by super human manipulation managed to get it on an even keel just as he seemed about to crash to earth and then continued his flight unharmed.
 However, he was compelled to alight shortly afterward, having cov cred only so miles from this city. Gilbert, Pierre Verdine and Roland Garros are the three left in the race for the prizes aggregating $30,O00.

Teddy Roasted By John W. Foster Al
 Peace Conference
Former Secretary of State Scores the Ex-President For His Acr0batic Stunts on the Ques- tion of International Arbitra- ton
Especial from United Press.1 }

(SpeCldl rom united PreSS.)
 Lake Mohonk, N. r., May 25-"No man in public life today, has shown such an cratic and inconsistent course toward international arbitration as Theodore Roosevelt whose recent full minations of the suggested Anglo American arbitration treaty have ap- peared in the public press,'' declared Former Secretary of State John w. Foster, addressing the Lake Mohonk Peace Conference, today. His early public career was marked by a strong hostility to arbitration. In 1895 he at- tackled President Harrison for sub- hitting the Boring Sea matter to ar bitration. But when he assumed the responsibilities of the Presidency it was he who sent the first case to the Hague court of arbitration and invit- ed the nations in hostile array to re- sort to the same court
 "He proposed to settle the Alaskan boundary dispute by sending the Am- erican army to- occupy and hold the territory by force but finally yielded to the pacific advice of Secretary Hay
 Judge Foster then reviewed the treaties submitted by Colonel Roose- welt as President, and said:
 After he has played to his hearts with his favorite terms, 'hypo- crisy,' 'cowardice,' bad faith, etc., we may expect this cratic but patrio- tic citizen to fall into line with the great march toward international peace and give his support to the great mea- sure which most ennobles the adminis- tration of his successor
 Germany cannot be expected. Judge Foster said. to become a party to a general arbitration treaty at present. "Nevertheless,'' he said, ''as unlimited arbitration is extended among the na- tions, its beneficial effect must be- come more and more apparent, and even the German government may eventually find modus vivendi with the other nations which will cause it to cease as a menace to the world
 Advocating the proposed general treaty of arbitration Honorable Raole Dandurand, u. D., of Montreal, mem- Der of the Canadian Senate, said:
 ''The acceptance of a suggested treaty by Great Britain's foremost men, Messrs Asquith and Balfour should insure the signing of this treaty Canadians will hail with en- thusiasm the conclusion of such a compact"

MADER0 TAKES
 FIRST SMASH
 AT THE TRUSTS
Turns Down Wall Street Man Who Would Finance
 His Campaign
People of Mexico, He Says, Have Been Sufficiently Ground Down by Monop- oly.
Special from United Press.)


 Juarez, May 25-Francisco I. Ma dero, IT,, has taken his first smash at the American trusts.
 It was stated, today, that a man representing Wall streets interests, yesterday, asked an audience with the provisional president. He offered to finance Madero's presidential cam paign and to pay part of the expenses of the present revolution if Madero would promise his interests privileges and concessions.
 T represent the people of Mexico, Madero replied. "They have been ground down by monoply and privilege. Bhat is what all this fighting is about. Do you suppose I'm going to permit money"
 Francisco Madero, Sr, discussing this incident, today, said:
 Some monied interests that have monopolies in the United States are trying to get on the Madero bandwag- on hoping with their money to control our government. I will not tell the name of the man who offered the money to my son in return for con sessions. My son replied to him that he intended not only to drive all monopolies out of Mexico but also to prevent the establishment of any more trusts.''
 It is apparent that utter confusion exists in Mexico City. Many high gov ernment officials have been secretly turning to Madero for the past four days in the hope of gaining favor.
 The power of Madero over the Diaz government Is clearly shown by the fact that when citizens of Guadalajara complained to him that Federal sol- diers had killed sixty persons who were celebrating an insurrecto vic- tory, Madero instantly wired Diaz. He demanded the immediate removal of the Governor of that State and re- ceived a favorable answer from Diaz.

San Sebastian Spain, May 25.-At- tackled by a giant eagle while sailing along on the last leg of his flight in the Paris Madrid aeroplane race, M. Gilbert was in grave danger for sew eral minutes, today. The big bird swooped down on the aviator, appar- ently believing that the Bleriot mono plane was some fantastic sort of winged creature which threatened his supremacy as king of the air. It landed on the front of the monoplane and after reconnoitering for several seconds, lunged directly at Gibert' g head. AS its claws struck the metal headpiece which he was wearing, the hird fluttered upward and then swoop- ed again. This time he missed the aviator and only cleared the whirling propeller by few inches.
 The air current stirred up by the propeller blades enraged the bird and with a shrill scream it pursued the monoplane and made another swoop at Gilbert trying to strike his eyes with it's sharp claws. Realizing his peril Gilbert managed to get his re- volver out of the Scabbard in which
