FRENCH AVIATOR
FLIES QUARTER OF
MILE UPSIDE DOWN
Epoch Making Experiment
Toward Attainment of
Safety in the Air.
Causes Sensation

Jllvisy. France. September 1.-The dar-
,ng French aviator. Pegoud agiIr on Aag-
ust 20 made a parachute drop from an
aeroplane from a height of 800 feet, ac-
complished much more remarkable feat
today, which at first sight appears to
Rave been a piece of extraordinary aerial
acrobatics, but which experts declare was
an epoch making experiment towards the
attainment of safety in the air. Briefly,
Pegoud caused his monopane to describe
a gigantic letter in the sky during which
he was flying upside down for about a
quarter of a mile
The strictest secrecy was maintained
prior to the test and only a few persons
were present when Pegoud took the air.
He mounted rapidly to height of more
than 1000 feet, describing a curve; then
the forward part of the machine was OBJ
served to incline towards the earth.
Through glasses the spectators saw the
propeller and the monoplane further in
cline until it was perpendicular with the
earth. 1t seemed as if nothing could stop
the headlong plunge AS the machine
dropped swiftly the tail dipped again to-
wards the earth and the pilot appeared
head downward. Seconds which seemed
horrs, passed. With an almost imper-
ceptible curve the machine shifted it's
course to straight line, the pilot In the
same position. How long he remained
upside down the anxious watchers could
not determine, but it was long enough to
cause them to believe that he would never
right himself.
Everything Splendid
Presently the monoplane dipped again
and with a graceful curve assumed
an upright position. Pegoud flew for a
few minutes and descended in a series
of beautiful spirals landing the
aviator said
Everything went splendidly The
levers answered the slightest touch. |
remained for long time head doyn-
wards because | wanted to- not be-
cause ] couldn't help it. The sensa-
tion is strange but not unpleasant,
and the machine did not pitch at all
II went very slowly so as to avoid
subjecting the machine to too violent
strain but had ! wanted to ! cotId
| have righted myself much more
quickly"
Cause of Experiment
Pegoud's experiment was prompted
| by the theory recently expressed by
Louis Bleriot, that In the paramount
problem of attaining safety in the air
automatic self -righting devices and
parachutes are beside the question; that
they are Just as much at the mercy OF
a sudden gust as the ordinary air.
craft Bleriot pointed out that even
birds are known to have been capsized
| by squalls, yet they were able by
folding their wings to withdraw most
Of their surface from the action of the
air. 1t was urged that an endeavor
should be made to so construct aero
planes that they could not be cap
sized
Pegoud undertook to demonstrate
that the ordinary aeroplane not fitted
with any special device was possessed
of much greater stability than was gen
orally believed and experts are of the
opinion that he succeeded brilliantly

HALDANE' SPEECH
FEATURES OPENING
OF BAR ASSOCIATION
Prominent Legal Authorities
of World Hear Address of
English Jurist-Speaks
on Higher Nationality

Montreal. September 1.-The address de-
livered this afternoon by the Lord High
Chancellor of England, yiscount Haldane,
formed the principal feature of the open
ing meeting of the American Bar asso-
citation. yiscount Haldane had an audi
ence which included many of the great
legal lights of the western continent and
several from Europe His theme was:
Higher Nationality; Study in Law and
Ethics"
IL was In many ways an epoch making
speech, dealing as it did with the re-
lationships of three great nationalities.
The Lord High rhancellor told how Brit
ish law in the early days was vested
largely in the sovereign of the realm,
who had associated with him the Lord
High Chancellor as the executive of the
Kings justice. That ancient law was
based upon experience rather than upon
logic. he said, and this fact had influ-
enced the law and the constitutions of
the three great nations. England, France
and America.
Public Opinion Important
nc sPcahci diSdct tildt tHe great
force that actuated mankind in breaking
the laws was not fear of officers of
justice, but was the fear of public opin-
ion. and that therefore public opinion
tended more than the arbitrary execu-
ton of justice to restrain men from law
breaking. Developing this argument
Viscount Haldane proceeded to suggest
that the same policy possibly might be
adopted by nations and that the time
had come when nations might be as
much ashamed to follow the ancient
methods of settling differences and dis
putes as individuals have become in late
years.
Frank b. Kellog, president of the
American Bar association, briefly in
troduced the presiding officer of the
afternoon Chief Justice White of the
United States supreme court referring
to him as person who exemplfied
the highest ideals of the American
lawyer and who has added lustre to lbs
profession "by the manner in which ne
has presided with great honor and dig
nifty over the supreme court of our
land"
Chief Justice White read a telegram
from the Duke of Connaught, governor
general of Canada, and the Duchess of
Connaught, expressing regret at not be-
ing able to attend the sessions of the
bar association.

Judge Hutchinson announced this de-
cision tonight.
He had weighed the matter carefully
all day. noting meantime the ever
swelling crowd pouring into Sherbrooke
for the fair. on the lips of nearly ev-
eryone was a sympathetic word for
Thaw. Taking cognizance of this and
of the outbreak of last Wednesday
when Thaw was cheered in court as a

course would be to exclude specta-

Secretary Bryan had been IN commune
cation before his departure with .prss,ie.-...s
Wilson at Cornish, n. H.. but said he dfl
not know whether the President would
return to Washington tomorrow. IT was
the general impression that President VIII
son would not hasten back unless there
were indications of some Immediate de-
velopment in the present deadlock in the
negotiations between this government and
the Huerta regime.
An official conversant with Mexican
affairs stated tonight that the waiting
attitude of the United States WAS a cor
rect one and that it would be sure to
iorce important Developments before many
days despite intimations in the last no1e
of Senior Gamboa that the next move
would be expected from Washington
II was said tonight that John Lind the
American special envoy in Mexico would
remain in Vera Cruz indefinitely: that he
was not contemplating any iinmediate
move and that he was only waiting for
change in the situation, which it was
calculated would not be instigated by him
or by any move from Washington AS
far as the United States is concerned, il
was stated the negotiations stand lust
where they did when President Wilson
addressed Congress and advised American
citizens to leave Mexico Senator Bacon
said today that this advice was not given
with any intimation that IT might mean

Americans from Mexico arriving at that
port in need of assistance should be
helped to reach their homes in this eoun-
try. Owing TO several MISUNDERSTANDING
with regard to the disposition of the needy
