AVIATOR HAS VERY
 NARROW ESCAPE

Dallas, Tex, January 9.-John J. Frisbies Rochester biplane ran away with Governor elect Colquitt of Texas early this afternoon and later smashed into a fence when Frisbie attempted to land after a short flight As a net result of the misbehavior the machine is a wreck and the governor-elect and the aviatot are being congratulated eseaping injury. MT. Colquitt had clim bed into the machine at the re- quest of newspaper photographers. To add to the realism of the picture one of the mechanicians started the mo- tor. Cameras were all trained and all was ready when the governor shifted his position and in doing so struck his foot against the accelerator. This re- leased the machine and for several hundred yards 1t bounded along the track with half a dozen men holding the craft to the ground. Finally Frisbie, who was being dragged near the seat, succeeded in cutting the strffng which held the throttle open and the motor stopped. The governors elect seemed to enjoy the experience. T believe I could run one of those things in a little while,'' he declared.
 Frisbie's escape bordered on the mirac- ulous. After short cross flight the 1rish-American aviator glided down for landing near the grandstand. A few feet above the ground he endeavored to shut off his motor, but the machinery was slow in responding. His machine was pointed directly toward several fences.
 The first he jumped over. but lost con- trol of the planes before he reached the second. Then came the crash.
 Frisbie was thrown several feet and momentarily stunned. but was otherwise uninjured. The machine was badly dam aged.
 Successful flights were made by Garros, Simon and Barrier in Bleriot machines, and Audemars in the Demoiselle. Simon was timed for the afternoon, when on his flight sudden gust of wind almost cap- sized him. He had difficulty in fighting the craft and came down at once
 The meet will probable end Wednesday evening. A
