The eagle, which was huge creature.
seemed furious against the man. bird, and
swooped down again and again. trying to
reach the airman's face with its powerful
beak. VedrineS greatest fear was that
his attention would be diverted. which
would cause him to lose control of his

Paris Madrid aeroplane race, NJ. Gilbert
was In grave danger for several min
utes yesterday. The battle came just
when. on account of treacherous cur

The bird swooped down on the aviator,
apparently believing that the Blerior
monoplane was some fantastic sort of
winged creature which threatened his su-
premacy as king OF the air. 1t alighted
on the front of the monoplane and after
accommodating for several seconds finally
lunged directly at Gilberts head. AS its
claws struck the metal headpiece which
he was wearing. carrying II away, the
bird nuttered upward and then swooped
again. This time 1t missed the aviator
and only cleared the whirling propeller
by few inches.
The swish of the wind stirred up by
the propeller blades further enraged the
bird, and with a shrill scream it pur-
sued the monoplane and made another
swoop at Gilbert. trying to strike his
eyes with his sharp claws.
Realizing his peril, Gilbert got his re-
volver out His first shot went wild, but
the second struck the bird and it fell
earthward. Gilbert lost control of his
monoplane. but by almost superhuman
manipulation got 1t on an even keel Just

his flight unharmed.

declared that the aerial battle with the
giant bird had given him the most ex-

L0R|MER CASE RESULT
NOW THEME OF TALK
Belief Expressed That Many
Supporters of Illinois
Senator May Desert.

The passage Of resolution by the Sen
ate directing another Investigation of the
election Of William Lorimer as senator
from Illinois being a certainty, there is
now talk as to the outcome Of the in
quiry, and In that connection the attitude
of the democratic caucus and of some
Individual senators is being discussed.
Senator Bailey. 1t is understood. was
most strenuous during the democratic
caucus yesterday in demanding that the
caucus indorse the Martin resolution for
second investigation: and Mr.. Bailey.
1t is recalled, was one of the defenders
of the Illinois senator during the discus
sion Of the case last session.
Think Case Crumbling.
Senaor Bailey was a tower Of strength
to the Lorimer supporters during the last
session. and his present attitude is taken
to indicate that the Lorimer case is
crumbling and that his friends of the
last session are not so certain as to the
legality OF his election.
Not a single democrat in the caucus
yesterday showed opposition to some reso-
lutions for reinvestigation Of the case.
The only discussion was over the best
means for securing a fair and impartial
inquiry And that is said TO be the gen.
eral attitude of the Senate. No senator.
either on the republican or the demo-
cratic side of the chamber. has publicly
opposed the move for reinvestigatfon
during the past few days, and the discus
sion has hinged on the proper committee
to take up the task.
Action Expected Today.
When the Senate met at 2 o'clock this
afternoon it was generally predicted
that there would be action on some
resolution before the session was ad-
journed. The resolution which will be
adopted. 1t is also predicted, will be
somewhat different from any of the
three now pending. but will put the in
vestigation in the hands of the Senate
committee on privileges and elections.
1t is probable that the resolution
will authorize the appointment Of
subcommittee Of the full committee on
privileges and elections to conduct the
hearings and gather the testimony, and
there are reports that an agreement
has been reached between regular re-
.publicans and democrats as to the per-
sonnel Of that subcommittee.
