j BT. LOUI3, Oct. 7. Glenn H. Curtlss, who
I won international honors' In aviation at
j Khelms, France, made three aeroplane
. flights here today. One waa more than a
quarter of a mile and the shortest of the
three was about 220 yards. This was wit
nessed by a throng of 400.000 persons, who
waited for hours In Forest park to see an
aeroplane In action.
Curtlsa' last performance of the day wan
cut short by his engine falling- when h
w aa about twenty-five feet from the ground.
The machine glided to an Irregular landtng
place and a rudder guy snapped. Efforts
to mend It before darkness were unavailing.
The noted aviator said the machine would
be ready for service tomorrow.
In the flights today Curtlss used a biplane
wltti'a 25-hoise power motor. Few people
witnessed the first two flights, as the
morning mist was still undispelled. A stiff
wind this afternoon delayed him until dusk.
George Francois Osmont, who is here with
the Farman biplane which won the endur
ance prize at Rhetms, attempted three times
at dunk to satisfy the crowd that he could
fly. Ha circled the field several times, but
not fast enough to enable him to leave the
ground, ills disappointment was clearly
expressed in his face.
A monoplane built on the lines of Lath
am's machine by V. A. Robinson of St.
Louis waa also bi ought out. but the motor
failed to develop sufficient power and no
attempt was made to go Into the air.
Three Dirigibles Ply.
The really successful navlgatora of the
air were Roy Knabenshue, Lincoln
Beachey and Thomas Baldwin, in dirigibles.
The last made an extended flight, when
motor trouble overcame him and he was
forced to land In the crowd. His second
flight, after repairs had been made, was
greeted with great applause.
Knabenshue. however, waa the favorite
with the crowd. He and Beachey thrilled
the spectators by mounting simultaneously
and flying two miles sld-by-slde. Knaben

The crowd which witnessed the flights
i! the greatest the street car company
has carried to Forest Park since the

and Ait hill was black with spectators.
Wright Tearhea Army Officers.
COLLEGE PARK. Md.. Oct. 7. No flight
was attempted today by Wilbur Wright,
who Is instructing the officers of the signal
corps In tha practical use of the Wrlgnt
aeroplane.
The entire day was spent by Mr. Wright
in tinkering with the machine and explain
ing Its manipulation to the student officers.
The starting derrick was erected, but the
monorail was not placed In correct position
for a flight. No time has been set for ine
first flight.
Square Mile of

Series of Explosions in Sewers In
jures Number of Persons and
Causes Panics.
NEW YORK. Oct. 7. Nearly a square
mils of the middle West Side was shaken
late this afternoon by a series of explosions,
which blew manhole covers high Into the air
in crowded thoroughfares, injured several
persons, did considerable damage to prop
erty and caused a moment of sharp panic.
Alarms of fire were turned In, tha police
reserves turned out and factory employes,
shopkeepers and tenement dwellers rushed
to the open streets.
Seven-year-old Emll Miller waa standing
on a manhole oover when the first rumble
came. He and the cover shot up ten feet
and Emit rame down aoout a foot from
the manhole, out of which flames were
pouring. He was badly burjied about the
faco and body and taken unconscious to a
hospital, where It was said that his con
dition was serious.
Large w Indows of many stores were shat
tered and half a doien people were seri
ously cut by flying glass, while hundreds
had narrow escapes to relate. The total
damage will probably amount to about
JlO.OOQ.
The police explain the explosion by the

GRAND FORKS. ' N. IX, Oct. 7 -In com

Burks, moat North Dakotans are today

tion was Issued in compliance with a re
quft of tie grain growers of North and
bou'.ll Dakota and Minnesota for the pur
pose of establishing durum as bread grain.

anythlt world." Further, ha placed
his resignation from the Armour service
in the hands of the Duluth manager, who
forwarded it to Omaha.
An Omaha official of the Armour com
pany said Thursday evening: "Mr. Bowers'
accounts with the house are absolutely O.
K.; In fact he has no account, being an
executive officer. We learned that his
mother, living In Chicago, had not heard
from him In four weeks, and so this after
noon we sent her word that her son is
alive and well, to end her worry."
No one at this time knows just what
reason inspired Mr. Bowers to adopt tha
strange course he has pursued. When he
requested a leave of absence for two weeks
ostensibly to attend to some mining claims
in which he was interested in northern
California, no one had any other Impres
sion than that he waa going to do just
what he said, combine a business trip
with rest and recreation. He had been act
ing manager at the South Omaha plant
since early in the summer and his duties
had been quite onerous, making It the
most natural thing in the world that ha
should seek a vacation.
"We may have somehlng more to say of
this affair later on," said a man con
nected with the Armour company, "but at
present the public must rest content with
the finding of Bowers alive and well."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Oct. 7 The Grain
Dealers' National association convention
here today made a great stride toward
uniform grading of grains. By conceding
tome of the demands made by the Chicago
grain men for changes in the grain grades
draft adopted at the St. Louis convention
last year, the grain men have finally
adopted uniform rules grading for corn.
oats, barley and rye, and adopted tha Kan
sas City, Chicago and Southwestern market
grades on mllo and kafflr corn. They also
made some material concessions by grant
ing part of the Chicago men'a demands for
changes In wheat testa.
There were, however; five demanda made
by the Chicago grain men for changes In
wheat grading, that were not granted.
Steps were taken to bring an agreement on
these five points of difference by the
authorization of a strong committee of five.
which will call a conference with the
Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas
state commission and prominent board of
trade. At this meeting an effort will be
made to get an agreement on these five
grades of wheat.
The first of the refusals was of the
demand of tha Chicago grain men to raise
the test weight of No. 2 white winter wheat
from fifty-six to fifty-seven pounds.
Another denial waa of the demand that No.
2, S and 4 hard winter wheat may contain
a maximum of 25 per cent red winter
wheat.
The national convention refused to raise
the test weight of No. 1 hard spring wheat
from fifty-eight to fifty-nine pounds and
No. i northern spring wheat from fifty
seven to fifty-seven and one-half pounds.
The convention Indicated that lt would
grant an additional one pound to the test
weights of velvet chaff wheat grades, but
refused to accede to the demands of tha
Chicago men to raise the weight test ap
proximately three pounds.
The convention oonoeded tha demanda of
tha Chicago men. for tha use of tha word

Land Registration
is Disappointing
People of Pierre and Other Places
Not Having the Anticipated
Profit.
PIERRE, 8. D.. Oct. 7. (Special Tele
gram.) The registration today will not
come up to that of yesterday, which will
probably be the high markfor the whole
registration. The line today contained a
larger percentage of women than for any
previous day of the week. Flerre, like all
other places, made arrangements for
handling much larger crowds than are com
ing and many who expected to profit by
the registration will be out of pocket, the
only thing which saves them at all being
the attendance at the exposition, which Is
bringing more to the city than tha regis
tration. Many of the registrations today were
from Indiana and Illinois points, but the
record from states that far Is disappoint
ing. Rain today and a cold, raw wind is
reducing the street crowds, but will not
likely affect registration.

"It is not true to say that the hardships

The New York Chamber of Commerce en
tertained at luncheon today Vice President
James S. Sherman and the commanders of
the American, German and British fleets,
which took part in the Hudson-Fulton cel
ebration. Vice President Sherman, on behalf of the
American people, told the officers to carry
back to their governments the expression
of the appreciation of the American nation
for the friendship of the foreign nations.
Admiral Seymour of the British squadron
responded In his speech to an allusion by
President Simons of the Chamber of Com
merce to his distinguished services.
"The service to which he alludes was In
China," said the admiral, "where I was
assisted by Admiral McC'alla and other
Americans. I was assisted by other nations,
the Germans especially, and after the Ger
mans the French and others, who I will
not take the time to mention now; and
after what we did in China, I am convinced
that the nations are homogenous, not to
fight, but to preserve the peace, the pros

Irish Making
Bitter Fight
Against Lords
Crisis Has Arisen Over the Land Bill
and Appeal is Made for
Funds.
LONDON, Oct. 7.-T. P. O'Connor. M. P.,
will sail shortly for tha United Statea at
the request of John E. Redmond, the Irish
leader, to explain the political situation to
the supporters of tha Irish cause In Amer
ica and to appeal for funds to carry on the
struggle for home rule. The nationalists
regard the approaching general elections
aa one of the most critical periods In their
history; and tho full power of their organ
ization will be utilised In helping the liber
als deprive the House ' of Lords of ' the
power of veto which, they claim. Is the
sole remaining obstacle to home rule.
The nationalists' point of view is set
forth In an appeal Mr. Redmond is for
warding to M. J. Ryan of Philadelphia,
which follows:
. "A great crisis in the Irish struggle has
arisen. The House of Lords Is engaged at
this moment In destroying the Irish land
bill, with lta promise of closing the land
war of centuries and completing the
restoration of all the land of Ireland to
Its people and the banishing forever of
misery and famine from the west of Ire
land. 1
"General elections are certain within the
next two weeks. In these elections the
veto , of the House of Lords will be at
stake, and with the veto of the House of
Lords will disappear the last obstacle to
home rule.
"in this fight Ireland will have arrayed
against lt all the forces of landlordism,
wealth and privilege. Once more we ap
peal to our race to help us fight against
these enemies of our race."

his staff and the Board of Governors of
Ak-Sar-Iien, the long blue line paraded the
pavements, turning Its way Into main
thoroughfares and by-streets In order that
all tho populace might be able to witness
the glory of the military organization of
the nation. It was, Indeed, an Impressive
sight.
The procession waa marred but by one
condition and that waa the heavy wind
that blew clouds of dust on the specta
tors, but even this did not keep the public
at home. The streets were simply Jammed,
Windows and ledges of the building and
every other vantage point along the line
of march were filled with sightseers. Small
boys climbed telegraph poles and lamp
posts In order to make sure of seeing the
soldiers. The resilience districts of I he city
were practically abandoned during the
hours of the parade and most of the stores
closed their doors In order that their clerks
might Join the great throng of speclatora.
The schools declared a half holiday and
the little folks were among the most in
terested of the thousands.
Crowds Surge Into Streets.
Everywhero along the course the crowds
surged clear out Into the streets and the
mounted police had hard work keeping
clear a path wide enough for the passage
of the Infantry companies and the troop
of cavalry.
The steps of the federal building and the
lawn surrounding the court house were
black with people long before the parade
started and even in the teeth of the wind
the ppectators held their plarea until the
end of the long line had passed them. The
crowd was second only to the monster
tin on that witnessed the electrical parade
the night before.
It was no oidinary occasion for the sol
diers themselves. Instead of the ordinary
fatlguo uniform of khaki, every man and
officers had " his dress paradu uniform of
blue, and the horses of the cavalry were
brushed and manicured until they shone as
if they had been polished.
The Una began muflng at Sixteenth and
Cuming -iretts at 1:30, the start being made
with army-ltke promptness. It moved south
on Sixteenth, turning east on Douglas, then
south again on Thirteenth to Farnarn and
on to Fourteenth, thin inarching first one
direction and then another until Twenty
fourth and Kainam was reached. There the
line turned east and came down the wide
street past the reviewing stand at Eight
eenth. Here (letitil .Morton and his ataff

lined up for the review. After the parade
