Mahmout Beat Pedsrssn.

Chicago, March 2.-Yussif Nah
mout, the Turk, eliminated Tess Ped
ersen, the Danish champion, as a con-
tender for the worlds wrestling cham
pionhsip here last night when he de-
feated Petersen in straight falls.
Mahmout took the first fall in %
minutes and As seconds, using a
head and body lock. He pinned the
Danes shoulders to the mat in the
second fall in s minutes and 10 sec
onds with a combination head and
wrist lock and toe hold.
Zbyszko Saw Match.
One Of the interested spectators at
the Petersen Mahmout wrestling
match here was Stanislaus Zbyszko the
Polish champion, who is to meet yam
kee Rogers at Milwaukee tomorrow
night and Henry Ordeman at Fargo,
N. D., March 6, in a handicap bout.
zbyszko challenged both Of the par
Elephants in tonight's match for a bout
at any time and any terms they may
ask. He says he can throw either Of
them. The match with Yankee Rogers
is expected to be an easy affair as
Zbyszko is in excellent condition and
has it over Rogers at every turn on
the mat.
The bout with Crdeman is not SO
easy. The latter is recognized here
as one Of the best wrestlers in the
country and at his weight is consid-
cred the best.

CATAPULT FOR AEROPLANES
Device For Launching Airships From
Warships Successfully Tested.

What naval aviation experts declare
will make this red letter day in the
history of aviation was the successful
test at Washington of a catapult de-
vice for launching aeroplanes from bat
tleships. The scheme, the invention
Of Captain Washington l. Chambers, in
charge of the navy aviation work, in
wolves the shooting of the aeroplane
along a steel plank by means of com
pressed air. On the plank, which is
level and thirty feet long, the aeroplane
sits on top of car, which drops from
under when the end Of the plank Is
reached.
Lieutenant II. G. Ellyson, navy avi-
ator, had attained a speed Of forty
niles an hour when his hydroaero-
plane had gone the thirty feet along
the plank. He started his engine just
4 fraction of a second before the com
pressed air was turned on. The ma
chine had started to rise before it left
the plank. 1t was In a dead calm that
the test was made.
1t is proposed to construct launching
devices on top of the turrets of the
battleships. one probably at each end
Of the vessel, so that an aeroplane
may be started off in either direction.

ABSINTH HOUSE TO GO.
Unique New Orleans Landmark Is
Doomed to Close.

Doomed to Close.
Built in 1852 and handed down from
father to son through four genera
hons and now doomed for destruction
Is the Old Absinth House, one of the
unique landmarks of the south, known
to tourists from all quarters of the
world who have visited New Orleans.
The edict of the United States govern
ment In shutting off the importation of
absinth sounds the knell of this quaint
remnant of bohemian life in the Cres
cent City.
1t is situated in the darkest, dirtiest,
noisiest section Of the Latin quarter,
and despite its age remains in Il good
state of preservation. It's beginning is
said to mark the opening of the first
saloon In New Orleans. In past years
1t has housed many nOtables from the
old world, and almost every celebrat-
ed man and woman who has visited
New Orleans has made at least a brief
stop at this secluded cafe to enjoy the
sight of its interesting habitues and
to listen to the medley of foreign
tongues, wagging cheerily under the
Influence of absinth frappe and other
kindred drinks created from the Sc
ductive fluid.
In Mardi Gras festivals the bizarre
cafe becomes the rendezvous for the
younger set intent on frolic.

PLANS LONGEST CROSS
CONTINENT AIR FLIGHT.
Gray Expects TO Fly With Passenger
From Boston to Seattle.

In celebration OF his first anniversary
as an aviator George A. Gray of Bos-
ton, holder of several aviation rec
Ords, both for skill and endurance,
plans a Boston-Seattle flight, carrying
In his machine passenger, who will
be his mechanician, Chauncey Red
ding.
Gray's feat, II accomplished, will be
the greatest of It's kind on record, for
by the completion of the journey he
will not only hold the endurance title,
but the speed record as well, the for
mer by reason of the length of the
trip and the latter because he expects
to fly from Boston to Chicago in TWEEN
ty-four hours without alighting once.
"My plan may seem impossible to
the layman," said Gray, but after
long consideration and close study |
am convinced 1t Is entirely feasible.
In the first place. it entails trip Of
more than 1000 miles-nearly 5000, to
be exact, counting digressions from the
main line between Boston and Seattle.
AS they used to Say on the plains.
shall ride light-that IS. there will be
nothing on the machine but what is alb
solutely necessary to sustain fight. OF
course on the first leg-the longest Of
all-that from Boston to Chicago we
plan to carry along some sandwiches.
But outside of such light lunch there
will be nothing doing in the eating
line for either of us until we reach the
Windy City.
For the trip shall have two Bur
gess-Wright biplanes, one to be used
regularly, the other in case of emer-
gency, and the last referred to will be
as fully equipped as the one we shall
leave Boston in for Chicago.
I'VE shall be able to carry forty gal
Ions of gasoline, and this should sus-
tain us for the first planned leg of the
trip. The start will be made in April" ."
