MSWINEY PASSES
FAIRLY GOOD NIGHT
Brother Visits Him In Jail -- Indig
nantIy Denies That NOurishment
Is Secretly Given.

LONDON, Oct. Terrence Mac
Swiney, who today began the 56th day
of his hunger strike, had a fairly good
night, but did not appear very much
rested early today, according to a buile-
tin issued by the Irish Self-Deternina-
ton legaue. He was very weak, but
otherwise there was no particular change
in his condition, the bulletin added.
II hurried over here hoping would
arrive in England in time to attend my
brothers funeral, and l marvel at the
fact that he is still living, though there Is
no doubt that the end is near" said Peter
MacSwiney, recently arrived from New
York, who visited his brother, Lord
Mayor MaeSwiney, in Brixton prison yes
terday.
Peter MacSwiney vehemently de-
nounced the reports that the prisoner was
secretly receiving nOurishment, declaring
that these reports were mainly 'cleverly
laid government plans designed through
innuendOes to encourage the pubhcs sus-
picions of the hunger strikers sincerity.
Even the government doctors say my
brother is dying" said Peter. He him
self is reconciled to that fate. He ex-
poets death before many days. His faith
would not permit him to face death with
a lie on his lips.

WILSON PROMISED AID TO SERBS
Records Show It-SenatOr Spencer Con-
fuses President.

WASHINGTON, Oct. president
Wilson's branding of Senator Spencer
(AIo. as being guilty of falsehood in
stating that the President promised to
send military aid to the Serbs and Ru-
manians under the league of nations
plan, has proved a boomerang that is
a source of pain and grief to the admin
istration and to supporters of the VIII
son league everywhere.
The rapid fire statement and denial
kept up between Senator Spencer and
the White House came to a sudden halt
yesterday after the senator produced
the record of Mr.. Wilson's own words
on which his charge was based and the
President contented himself with tel
egraphic answer far wide of the real
issue The President did not attempt
to deny the records the senator pro-
dueed All he could say was: II am
perfectly content to leave it to the vot-
erS of Missouri to determine which of
us is telling the truth."

Ground In Safety.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Experts of the
army and navy aviation service today
We're preparing to report on the demon
stration of a flaming oil soaked freproof
airplane and its midnight landing de-
vice witnessed by them at Mineola Am
erican and British experts who saw the
spectacular demonstration by Paul Col
Inns, civilian fier, declared it marked
one of the most important developments
in aviation since the armistice.
Particular Importance is attached to
the demonstration because of many mail
aviators who have lost their lives in
flaming machines. Before making an as
cent to an altitude of 5000 feet, Collins
machine was treated throughout with
fireprOof dope and then completely sat
urated with gasoline. Collins himself put
on costume similarly treated. At this
highest altitude he set fire to the gaso-
line and thrilled the countryside by a
flaming comet-like course. In his descent
at about 1000 feet he also touched off
two large flares of magnesia on the tip
of the wings and by manipulating
two large mirrors underneath the fusi-
lage he illuminated the whole landing
field, enabling him to make perfect day
light landing.

The 1920 Valley fair passed into his
tory with the conclusion of yesterdays
program, and the association has added
another to its long list of successes. Yes
terday's attendance, one of the largest in
the fairs history, brought the two-day
total close to if not above the 10000 mark
and promises balance on the right side
of the associations ledger in spite of
increased operating expenses.
The big crowd of yesterday stayed late
and it was well after dark before traffic
officers were relieved of their task of
starting automobile visitors on their
homeward journey. Up to the very last
the midway was well patronized and the
conceSslonarles, many of whom came here
from the state fair in a somewhat i'm
pecunlous condition, seemed wholly salts
fed with their Brattleboro business.
Yesterdays afternoon track program
was busy one and produced a much
better brand of racing than the previous
day. No new records were established
but most of the heats, especially those of
the III pace, were hard fought. Not q
single accident occurred during the %
meats OF the two days. The vaudeville
was distinct improvement over last
year, the Nalenteen aerial act being the
best on the program. There was plenty

NEW YORK. Oct. 7.-GOing into the

on even terms, each with one victory
chalked up. Managers Robinson and

Cleveland club late in August and by
winning six games in a row lifted big
burden off the shoulders of Bagby and
Coveleski in the final dash for the flag.
Behind the mastery pitching of
Grimes yesterday the Superbas showed
to better advantage than they did on
Tuesday. The players appeared to have
confidence in one another, especially
when the Indians got on bases. With

trust in his teammates and the latter
were confident that their pitcher, work
