Chicago, Oct. ll.--Leading flyers in the
round trip airplane race between Mine

neys to-day, the fourth Of the competi.
tion, thus marking an epoch in aviation
in America.

Great care is being exercised by com
manding officers at the various control
points to safeguard the flyers in the con.
test, so far productive of FIVE deaths and
number of minor accidents among the
original AZ starters at Mineola and Is
at San Francisco. Two machines were
eliminated yesterday and two contest.

KNOCKED DOWN BY AUTO.
Frank Cayia Had No Bones Broken, but
Was Bruised

A touring car driven by +. A. Drown
of the Oldsmobilc company and heading
toward the south end struck Frank Cayia,
man Is years Of age, who is employed
at the coal sheds of Calder & Richardson,
yesterday, knocked him to the pavement.
inficting several abrasions and bad
bruises on the pedestrian. Mr., Cayia was
assisted into the automobile by Mr..
Drown and taken to his home at SSA
South Main street where doctor made
an examination soon after to determine
the extent of the elderly mans injuries.
No bones were broken, but Mr., Cayia
suffered a severe shaking up and several
body bruises.
This incident occurred when Mr.. Cayia
was on his way to dinner. He was walk
ing across the road and along the wooden
planks of the railroad crossing near Trow
& Holden's machine shop, when, accord
ing to Mr. Drown he turned to retrace
his steps and stepped in front of the
car. Another car was coming from the
south end and neared the crossing, which
probably caused Mr. Cayia to attempt
to return to the sidewalk
just how long he may be confined to
his home is uncertain, for it is difficult
for the doctor to determine the extent
of the injury sustained Had it been q
younger person, nothing serious would
have resulted, according to the doctor,
for Mr. Drown was driving moderately.

LONGSHOREWEN'S STRIKE
MAY REACH BOSTON
Orders for the Extension Have Been Is
sued and There Is Only Slight
Hope That the Trouble Will
Be Averted.

New York, Oct. Extension to the
coastwise traffic at every Atlantic port
of the longshoremen's strike, which has
completely paralyzed New York harbor,
appeared inevitable to-day.
John +. Riley, chairman of the com
mittee directing the strike, announced
that orders for such an extension had
been issued when the national adjust
ment commission of the United States
shipping board refused to grant an in
crease in the coastwise longshoremen's
scale from 90 cents to 81 an hour
The only apparent hope of averting a
spread of the strike or of terminating
the strike in New York lay in a meeting
to-day of the strike committee with the
national adjustment commission.
This seemed forlorn hope, however.
as William z. Ripley, chairman of the
commission, in granting a request of
the strike committee for a rehearing
announced that the commission could
not recede from its original award.
The coastwise longshoremen's strike
if made effective, il was stated, would
add at least 10000 to the total number
Of strikers. Eight thousand of this num-
Der are employed in New York and 5000
in other ports, including Boston.
In addition to the stoppage of steamer
sailings resulting from the longshore.
mems strike employees of all the Hudson
river ferry lines and all the railroad
company tug lines with the exception Of
the Lackawanna struck suddenly last
night, tying up the tugs and ferryboats
Railroad officials assert that the strike
was the result of radical propaganda
and was called in sympathy with the
longshoremen. The ferry and tug men
deny these charges, however, asserting
that they are members of American
unions and that they are striking to en-.
force demands of their own-namely
for six rather than seven day week

during tour of the mill towns yester-

GERMANS KNEW PLAN
FOR FRENCH DRIVE
Former Premier Painleve Declares They
Got Hold of All the Details of the
French Offensive in April

Paris, Oct. l0.--German military au-
thorities had full and complete informa-
tion of the French plan for an offensive
in April, 1917 former Premier Painleve
told the Chamber of Deputies this after
noon in repudiating charge that the
offensive was stopped by his order. He
added that General Neville had decided
to stop the offensive after three days OF
fighting when it became evidently impos-
sible that break through the German
lines could be made. The German gen.
eral staff obtained in some way a copy
of the plan of offensive and took meas
ures for causing the campaign to fail

had been removed from the body until
DIR. Stone arrived.
He testified that there was discolora-
tion of the face as he saw it. The face
lay on the ground with the left eye ex-
posed to the air. He could not testify
that the discoloration would result from
the pressure on the right side of the face
by lying on the ground. The respondent
objected to the question. The body of
Mrs. Broadwel was the only one in the
undertaking rooms that day and it was
Mrs. Broadwell's body upon which DR..
Stone performed an autopsy. The state
finished its direct evidence as the after
noon recess occurred.

an observer outside the plant, who saw
