Descends Like Falling.

The second thrill came when Will Hams started his second flight. He climbed 5000 feet before he swooped to cross the line. He descended like a falling stone.
 Then just before dusk, the Aber- deen bombers suddenly loomed upon the horizon and drifted lazily across the field, their pilots ignorant of the fact that the speed tests were in progress. Williams at the moment was high in the air. Squaring away, he darted across the field. Racer and angles. Hundreds held their breath. It seemed a crash was inevitable. One of the bonn bers had alighted and the others were just settling when the little blue bullet shot clear through them. Williams did not finch an inch from his course. There was very few feet to spare.
 "Coutl you see them" newspaper men asked when Williams later stepped out of his plane.
 Sure" he said laughing. Didn't you hear me shouting to you to get them out of the way?'
 The whole countryside watched the flight.
 Covers Course Dozen Times.
 On his first flight Williams covered the course 12 times before he was sat isfied. His average speed for the total of 12 kilometers was figured from his fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth at tempts.
 Brow contended himself with just four trips, for whereas on some of his flights Williams had been dis qualified because he did not cross the line at just the right altitude or for some other technicality, his rival on the other hand displayed the greatest accuracy He descended after his fourth flight because signed panels spread on the field advised him he had smashed the record.

 Away he went and when he came down he was again champion.
 Great work, AL" cried Brow.
 Well, Harold, we're having lot of fun anyway" replied his rival as the two clasped hands.
 O O O "No Features"
 Then Williams looked around for his coat, collar and tie. The tie for a moment was lost, and this seemed to concern him much more than his two narrow escapes from death.
 Again correctly garbed. he climbed into another machine and sped away towards the Bronx for his exhibition flight.
 It was a day Of intense thrills. The first came when Williams, div ing several feet to pick up speed be- fore darting over the starting line, dropped almost to earth. For a moment it seemed as if he could not recover, but he did, with only 10 feet to spare.
 Closest shave of my life" was the terse way he put it when he came down. Brow found no thrills when he made the second flight of the day. All he had to say of his 274.2 miles per hour was: No features, Every thing went o. K"

CHAMBE ERLAIN TO PROSESUTE CASES
Seven Reported Indicted In Connection With Killing
 Of ChoctaW Youth

| MOBILE. Ala, Nov 4.-(By Special Leased Wire. .)-County Solicitor Bart B. Chamberlain of Mobile county left here tonight for Butler, Choctaw county to take charge of the prose- cution of persons indicted by the grand jury of that county which ad- journed last Friday. Court will open Monday morning at 10 o'clock and the sessions are expected to con- tinue for a week or more. The grand jury returned a total of AS indict- ments, of which 26 were against per- sons charged with felonies. An un- | official report from Butler Is to the effect that seven men were indicted in connection with the murder of William Drew Connor, 20 years old, of Gilbertown, that county. but neither the attorney general or the Mobile solicitor will confirm that re- port.
 Connor's body, held up by wires l between two trees, was found burned to crisp December 15, 1921. and after considerable investigation was identified. A fountain pen, snuff box and buttons from the clothing of | the body were positively identified as being in pair of overalls tlrat l Connor wore before his death. Con- | n, R served in the World war.
 The death of Connor Is believed by state authorities to have been brought about by a gang of moon- l shircrs. The alleged moonshiners were reported to have had a dis pute over the division of money for the sale of the liquor manufactured and Connor is believed to have been refused his part of the division. He l is alleged to have made a threat that the others would never benefit 1 by the money they refused to give him. This threat is believed to have brought about his death.
 The grand jury in its report stated that it had before 1t local of ficers and several state law enforce ment officers as well as R. E. Hunt. special investigator from the office or the attorney general. These of ficers furnished the grand jury with an abundance of evidence as to law violations in Choctaw county and as to general conditions in that county.
