Makes First Flight.

Beachey's first flight consisted of
series of stunts at height OF about
900 feet. He flew sidewise, made
auick turns at corners. dipped his ma
chine. and otherwise amused the
crowd with difficult stunts.
His second and last flight at about
1 O'Clock was the feature of the after
noon. He drove his machine 1000 feet
into the air. where he performed ms
famous loop the loop three times. the
machine shot straight downward Tor
nerbaps a distance of $50 feet, then
suddenly stopped and gracefully somer-
saulted in mid-air The aviator then
mounted 10 the same height again and
repeated the stunt.
Beachey then exhibited his most
dangerous feat of flying straight up.
Like an eagle soaring aloft. he drove
mis- machine in a vertical line in the
air for a distance of about 80 feet,
a performance which it is said no 9TH
or aviator in the world has ever du-
plicated.
The race between Beachey and
"Speedy" Walters in an automobile
and Bob Crawford on a motorcycle re-
suited in an easy victory for the avia-
tor. after he had given his opponent
a haIf-mile handicap. The distance
was two miles. the motorcycle cross

After the race Beachey mounted 10

But This Will Not Prevent Dictator From Leaving
 Mexico,
SAILS TODAY FOR
 SANTANDER, SPAIN
HuGrta Plans t0 Tour Europe Before Settling DOWn-DeclareS in Inter. view That Only Purpose Has Been
 to Pacify Country.

Puerto, Mexico, July 1S.-ln an
 interview granted late tonight, al
 though refusing absolutely to discuss
 politics. General Huerta admitted that
 the greatest ambition of his life is to
 met Francisco Villa on the battle
 field.
 For a man about to quit his native
 country in exile iM his declining
 years, Huerta seemSunusually buoy
 ant The alphabet Of his face spells
 no mighty disappointment, and those
 who had expected him to stand dra-
 matically like lone antagonist of
 destiny have been Droved mistaken.
 Physically he apears unaffected by
 the straining events of the past sev-
 enteen months. His weather beaten
 coun,enance seems saglow with health
 and spirits, and hs has lost none of
 his vigorous eagerhess of manner.
 Although the country hereabout is full of rebels, thet soldiers with Huerta appear apahetic to mark ed degree, while the man himself compels admiratioH by his absolute lack of fear.
 Some anxiety is sfelt over the dis position of Huerta's bodyguard when his party sails. The present plan is ! to send them back to Mexico City with minor officers in command, but l it is a question just how far the men themselves will fall in with this plan.
 Locate in Spain. Reports tonight were that Huerta probably will leave tomorrow about noon aboard the German cruiser Dresden. It was officially reported that the entire colony of Huerta ex- patriates will establish a permanent base at Santander, Spain, although Huerta himself intends to .rave! bit in Europe before settling down there. Earlier in the day Huerta dictated two questions to himself. The first was:
 "Why did you resign?" This was Huerta's answer: q have resigned because I have arranged the distressing internal af- fairs of Mexico. I believe that my action gives the last proof to all loyal sons of the republic of my de- sire to bring peace to the country I am convinced that my resignation will result in the consolidation of all the sons of the republic The second question Hrerta ask ed himself was:
 ."Why are you leaving the country when you can still serve it?'' My departure from the country is solely for the sake of giving per- feet freedom of action to the new government. My presence here would give rise to conjectures which would prevent the qualification plans of the new government.
 q declare to the world that the line of conduct have followed has | no other motive than peace to the country"

AccUsei Woman and Her Husband Arouse Ire of
 District Attorney.
WHY DID SHE HIRE
 LAWYER AT ONCE?
Criticism of Himself and the Grand Jury, Prosecutor Asks Why Woman Employed Attorney
 Before Investigation of Murder.

Freeport, l.. I. July 1S-Stung by the criticism which Mrs. Florence Cank- lin-Carman and her husband have heaped upon him since the former was indicted yesterday for the kill ing of Mrs. Louise Duryea- Bailey i'll Dr. Carman's office two weeks ago District Attorney Smith tonight lash ed cut in return, declaring that Celle Coleman can tell enough about what took place on the day of the shooting to indict Mrs Carman for first de- gree murder yet.
 In so many words, the district at torley declared that if Dr. Carman and his wife persisted in calling him snake in the grass" he might asE the grand jury to reconsider the in- dictment with the added evidence he has obtained against the woman. Also he threatened a suit for crimi- nal libel against them.
 Carmsn Acted Unwisely.
 Smith said that if certain facts now in his possession are substantf- ated Mrs. Carman will never be tried upon the charge of manslaughter. Another, more serious, charge will be made.
 'I have been too generous in my treatment of her. She was never frank with me. If she is so inno- cent why did she secure counsel be- fore any charge had been made against her. Celie told me in Miaeola that she had been told to keep her mouth shut. After she had talked to the grand jury, she said she was glad she had told the truth. So is Frank Farrell telling the absolute truth. The statement that he is a Burns man is absurd. Burns is not a fool"
 Sentiment Changes.
 Assistant District Attorney Weeks, who is watching the Carman case in the absence of Smith, said this after noon that the bitter attacks made up- on the grand jury by the defendant and her husband had so changed pub lie sentiment that it no longer leans toward her as strongly as at first It is admitted that at one time the sentiment in favor of the woman was so deep that the prosecution had talked of change of venue when the case came to trial. Now it is believ- ed no such motion will be made.
 Dr. Carman and his wife, who re- mained close to the house today, have utterly changed their tactics, refus- ing sharply to discuss the case with the newspapermen any further.

Those who desire to return to their homes are being furnished with transporta- tion. Many are returning to Tennes- see, Kentucky and to Johnson ccun- ty. Quite frequently the refugees were found scantily clad and they were furnished with new clothes by the citizens.

THIS IS WORSE THAN ANYTHING
 IN ARKANSAS
Indiana Governor Victimiz- ed Into Signing Bill
 Not Passed.

Indianapolis. Ind, July 1S.-"Who- ever perpetrated the fraud is con- summate scouldred and should go to the penitentiary," declared Gov Sam uel M. Ralston today in discussing the Lake county recorders salary in- crease bill, which was indefinitely postponed in the last session of the legislature, yet was handed to the governor as having been passed by both houses and now appears on the statute books as a law.
 An investigation of the matter is in progress. The supreme court has held that the courts cannot go behind the signatures of tine governor, lieu tenant governor and the speaker of the house in deciding whether a bill is legal, and the measure probably will continue law unless it is re- pealed at the next session of the legislature.
