AVIATOR FALLS IN
MOUNTAIN FLIGHT
Fowler's First Attempt to Cross
the Sierras Results in a
Serious Accident.

Alta, Cal, Sept. 13.-The cross con-
tinental flight OF Aviator Robert G.
Fowler was interrupted near here at
1906 this morning by q fall which re-
suited in the demolition Of the aero
plane and perhaps serious injury to
Fowler. The latter was brought to
Alta, and while he claims that his In
5uries were confined to a strained
back, 1t is feared that he has been
hurt internally. The machine is a
wreck and cannot be repaired for the
continuance of the journey,
Fowler says that the flight was &C.
cesEful until after leaving Colfax, and
he entertained every hope OF success
fully topping the Sierras. desntte the
encountering of contrary and perplex-
ing air currents.
When in the neighborhood of Alta,
and about two miles east Of Dutch
Flat, something suddenly went wrong
with the aeroplane, and the machine
began going around In circles and Dip
ping to the earth, getting completely
beyond the control of the aviator.
The aeroplane struck In the top OF a
large pine tree at the edge of a gorge,
wrecking the machine, which settled
swiftly to the rocky ground. Fowler
was caught In the wreckage.
Persons In Alta and Dutch Flat wit
messed the fall and rushed to Fowler
aid. The altitude at this point lie 6,Soc
feet.

MORE WOMEN BRAVE
DANGERS OF The AIR
-Aviators of the Fair Sex Forg.
ing to Front in All
Countries.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Although
both the Wright and the Curtlss schools
steadfastly refuse to teach feminine
pupils at any price woman is grad
uaily forging her away into the haz-
ardous game of aviation and followers
of the sport are discussing with inter
est today the report that Mrs. Ralph
tombstone, of Kansas City, whose hus-
band met death at Denver, is soon COM
ing to New York to master the craft
that widowed her. 1t Is understood
that she will take lessons at the avia-
ton colony on Long Island, with a view
to becoming a licensed professional
aviator.
Friends. OF hers here say that Mrs.
Johnston had plans along this line
during recent aviation meet in Chicago,
but nothing definite has been an
nounced.
Today there were only two licensed
women aviators in this country, Miss
Mathilda Moisant and Miss Harriet
Quimby, both of whom are now on
Long Island.
Blanche Scott has made some note
worthy flights, but as yet has obtained
no license. Miss Moisant II will be

EMPIRE OF CHINA
FACING A CRISIS
Uprising of Mongolians, 1t Is
Thought, Constitutes Ser
ious Menace.

Washington. Sept. 14.-In the opin
on of students Of oriental affairs,
China is rapidly approaching a great
crisis in her history. The uprising in
SEE Chuen province is expected to ex-
tend to other ~neighboring provinces.
especially to the southwark, where
the Monaghan element has for man.
years been opposed to the ~reigning
Manchu dynasty.
Evidently prepared for trouble. the
Chinese government has beer quick to
dispatch troops into the disaffected
district, and to deal with the situation
with a strong hand. 1t is believed
here that the government will be able
TO suppress the present disturbance,
though the unforeseen and disastrous
flooding of the Yang Use valley is ex-
pected to drive thousands of the I'M
fortunate natives, whose means of
support have been destroyed, into the
ranks of the revolutionists.
Other Outbreaks Likely.
But it is believed that this SIZE
Chuen uprising is only the precursor
of other outbreaks in different parts
of the Flowery kingdom, for the fact
is that the struggle now going on is
really a gigantic test Of h relative
strength and power of the central
government as opposed TO the pro-
vincial government; in other words.
the situation resembles the great
feudal wars of Europe in the middle
ages. Japan also had TO pass through
a similar ordeal before the emperor
was able to break the power of his
mut1nous barons and it is believed
that the Chinese government will now
be put to the same test.
While the sympathy of the occiden-
tai people must remain with the Chi
nese central government, there can be
no interference in this great internal
strife and the activities of other ma
tons, at least at present, must be
confined to the protection of their own
citizens resident in China.

EX-CONVlCT is ACCUSED
IN A CHICAGO MURDER

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Continuing tho
search for the alleged murderers OF
Frederick Wennerstrom. the chauffeur
whose body was found in the Fox river
at Cary, H., Chicago detectives today
arrested Oscar E. Brown. said to have
been released recently from the peni-
Tertiary and a man who gave the name
of John Clopton. The Information
which led to the arrest OF the sus-
poets was furnished the police by a
mysterious woman said to live near
Woodstock, Ill.
The police theory is that the men
may have knowledge of several recent
holdups in which chauffeurs were vic
inns. Brown had $50 in his pockets
and wore a large diamond pin when
taken into custody.
