COMES TO FORTIETH STREET Part of Trip it Made at Rate of Eighty Miles an Hour. GALE . TOYS WITH BIPLANE On One Turn it Carries Him Mile and Half South. BIG PROGRAM FOR WEDNESDAY There Will Be 'Rare Brtwrrn Simon and Barrier and Altltarie Flights by Simon, Barrier aad Seymour ltdnp la Small. Although there was a ridiculously small crowd present and the wind wan blowing In maty whlrla. too feet above the ground. Rene Farrier fearlessly entered his "ma chine and flew In a pretty trip far to the south, east and north sides of the Speed way grounds. In Ms trip he went over pan or the residence district of the i city, hetween Fortieth and Forty-elehth street, passing by at a rate of more than eighty miles an hour. Barrier end Simon were both more than .disgusted at the crowd and only long pleadings by Manager Young persuaded the Frenchman to make any night at all. He finally did so, Just to show the newspaper men present and President J. J. Dorlght, of the Nebraska Aero oluba. The flight, made starting against the fairly strong wind waa most dangerous, for the aviator attempting It. He made a neat ascension, rialng after the machine had gone along the ground a little w.ays and heading directly , south into the wind. Bcarcely had he gotten 100 feet in the air when It was evident from the manner In which the rudder of his machine "Jock eyed" that the gusts of wind were hitting the frail machine heavy blows. nanaerous Tara tei East. The first turn made,' the one to the east, wss the' hardest of the flight. Sev eral times Barrier could plainly be seen attempting to turn the light machine against the wind, but each time he was evidently warned nl time that It would mean grave danger to do so. At last, nearly a mile and a half aouth, he swerved to the east and went at a fast- clip for Omaha. Ha went further toward Omaha on the flight of today than either he or Simon had done on Monday's flights. The curve made to the north and the return to the grounds was a wide one for he had learned of the wind's atength by that time. He landed by coming directly over the grand stand and swooping straight Into the teeth of the wind onto the grass of the center of the race track. Bacea d Altitude Flights. Today's program at the speedway will In . clud both the big race between 6lmoiy Mtd ' Barrier, that was planned far Tuesday, and the altitude flights by the two men and by Joe Seymour In his biplane. The first race will be held at 4 p. m. and from this time until evening the bird-men will perform. "We will perform regardless of the weather conditions," declared Manager P. U Young, Tuesday. "There seemed to be a belief Tueaday that the wind would pre vent our flying, but we will assuredly have our machines In the air." Barrier was importuned by a little girl to be taken on a flight after his exhibition of yesterday. Rowena Flxley, daughter of T. A.- Plxley of Dundee, was at the meet wth her mother and father and Mr. and Mrs. Derlght. "Ask hlra If he won't take ma with him to fly?" begged the little girl Barrier saw her and asked her if she wouldn't go with him. y 'Yes, I'll go," she said, and placed her hand in that of the aviator to go for a ride. The aviator was pleased at the Uttle girl s pluck In wlHhlng to go and Insisted on having a picture of her in the machine and atandlnr with him.

The 'little re deemer" la not entitled to any medals for bravery, by reason of the action. Even Garibaldi will have difficulty In rescuing many laurels. The federal troors , under Navarro have proven tnal they know something of fight ing. They fired upon Madero's flags of truce and knocked one of the truce bearers from his horse and later themselves showed a flag of truce to rebels In the town and then opened fixe with disastrous effect; The rebels are making great use of dum dum bullets.' Many of the men tonight have little ammunition remaining. There is no more to' be had In camp. Only providence saved dosens ' and per haps more from being either killed or wounded here today.

No half accurate estimate of the namber kUled and wounded on either side "-n be made tonight. Figures given out by any one are merely guesses. It Is very probable that a large number have been struck by the steady stream of bullets and shells that have been flying since morning. Oa Nebraska Woaae. Edwin Q. Heaton of Hay Bprlnga, Neb.. In Sheridan county, aged 23 years, who sua talneJ a severe wound in the fleshy part of the right leg, while going about his busi ness on this side of the river, was able to shake hands when I called at the hospital tonight. "I knew It waa foolish for peapla to go down along the river bank." he said, "and so expressed myself during the forenoon. I waa looking for a stack man on a busi ness matter and waa told that he waa about the stock yards. I started down aad was wounded while ea genera street. The bullet went through nearly sight Inehea of flesh." Mr. Heaton is unmarried. aelU lata TeeJfcUla, At l:4S o'olock the federals started firing shrapnel sheila with murderous effect over the bills west of Cludad Juares, and a short tune later began the first volley fir ing of the day. The general troop movement ordered by Madero had proceeded as tar aa the recent peace conference grove, where the two home-made cannons had been dragged, when it waa decided, because of the burst ing shrapnel, to delay the advance. Con sequently at dark the Insurrecto artillery had not gotten Into action.

They allowed i he lnsurrectos to swarm, bushwhacker fashion, into the streets of the city and did not begin, firing from the breastworks of rallrdad ties and sand bags, until nearly S o'clock in the evening. 1 Two Killed la El Paso. Because of th position, taken by the rebels It was inevitable that some bul lets should' tall in El Paso and a short time later two men were killed near the Santa Fe bridge. An Insurrecto, wearing a pink shirt Is ' called the hero of the day by American officers, who watohed the fight through glasses. With four companions he worked his way down ths river towsrd the town. He . was evidently a sharp shooter. Dodging behind stones and natural formations, he dismantled a ma chine gun and finally drove fifteen fed erals from their trenches.

With James Hare, Collier's Weekly photographer, I was on a car bound for the camp, when crowds attracted our attention and we left the car and heard ragged firing.' By this time every building In El Paso was black with people, and crowds lined the railroad tracks along the river. Finding It impos sible to get across the river by boat we proceeded to the foot bridge three miles dowHtfe river and vossed to the .Mexican side. ; ' ' ' ' About Madsro's headquarters all , was quiet. Only a few men were about. As we continued up the river we found the men everywhere hastening toward the front Up about two miles, Jn Peace grove, we met Madero and his staff snd learned that the firing had been ordered to ceaee. Perhaps top men, were waiting here... We proceeded further and met two mounted men being taken to the rear. A short distance on we came upon fifteen. American insitrreetos, under Captain Lin field, who said they had bn ordered to stop firing and go to the rear. They said they were obeying, be cause they would be charged with starting ths battle, but had had nothing to do with starting It When we had topped several rises and found anxious groups of rebels on each mound we were able to see two horsemen riding frantically among the men waving white flags. Shells Drive to Cover. To these the men paid no attention, and even those behind, though out of range, tired several shots. Already shells that burst when they struck began to faU about and the men aa well as "Chief' Hare and i sought shelter on the lee sides of the foothills at the bottom of the mesa.

May 9 A general en gagement between the revolutionary forces j of General Madero and the federals under command of General Navarro at Juares Is raging today under a burning sun and a heavy fusillade of musketry and cannon. The entire rebel army had broken camp during the night and up to noon today was rapidly swarming Into town. The. pros pects of a rebel success are dependent on the ability of the federals to use their twelve machine guns within the town. The lnsurrectos. it was reported, had Bilenccd some of them, but this report has verifica tion only in the fact that the federals were not shelling the lnsurrectos as extensively in the laaf few hours as they did earlier In the morning. General Madoro admitted today that he had given his consent to a general attack on Juares, but explained that various cir cumstances had precipitated it. He de clared that reports which had reached him were that the federals had opened fire and that the men who had been reported as revolting against his lead had pursued them of their own accord and could not re linquish their position. He listened to the counsel of his chiefs who advised a general attack and though he made an effort to arrange an armistice last night It failed be cause of the progress the attack already had made. All the leaders hsve been acting under General Madero's orders. They have surrounded Juares with their men and prospects are that the battle will continue throughout the day without any decisive turn. . Madero Receives Reports. General Madero was at his headquarters recotvuig the reports from the front and with him were the' various political chiefs confident of an insurrecto victory. Efforts of go-betweens to stop the fight ing have failed because of the difficulty of handling the lnsurrectos who already had entered Juarez. General Navarro would have consented to an armistice If the lnsurrectos had evacuated the town and he told this to General' Madero over the telephone early today, but the rebel chief by that time had given orders for a general attack, prin cipally to reinforce the 209 brave men who had forced their way, Uuto Juares despite the federal trenches, barricades and out posts. Bullets have been pouring Into EJ Paso, since the attack began at 4:30 a.' m., but the American troops have been keeping sign t seers tnree blocks away from the river front Privates Emtio Garola and Cassldy of the American . legion with the lnsurrectos came to El Paso this morning to get food They stated that fifteen Americans already had been killed and wounded and that thj insurrecto losses would probably reach laO killed and wounded. The federal lotts was more than dout'.e that number, Connie Eta-h ty-Flve Dead. "In one trench I counted forty-seven dead federals and In another thirty-eight They were stripped of most of their clothing,' said. Cassldy, Cassldy stated that when the attack started yesterday there were perhaps 150 Insurreotoe and that no reinforcement came until last evening. He also added that Vlllareal . had arrived from OJtnaga with reinforcements and two pieces of ar tlllery. One he said was the famous "Mc Olnty" stolen from EH Paso, .

The insurrecto offloers stated they held tho port of entry and that they had a right to bring food supplies to their men. amrro la Confident. General Navarro Is confident of holding Juaret and military experts in town think he can do It. He has his two field pieces and cannon in an advantageous position in the town. He has twelve guns In all, three of which arc In action on the out skirts of the town, shelling the hills from whloh the main column of the insurrecto army must pass to enter the city unless they decide to follow th river bank. This Is bound to draw heavy fire into American territory. Thousands of residents of El Paso for hours have been watching from roof tops and pointsof vantage. The United States troops have ordered everybody on the. American side of the lino to stay throe blocks away from the river front. Colonel Vlllareal. the Insurrecto chief, Is advancing from Juarez this morning from the east with 600 men fresh from the siege of OJInaga, while General Rabajo ,1s ad vancing to Juarez with 1,000 federals, but a strong command has been asbltoied to op pose him and Madero says he has no fear from that source. Mrs. Josefa Garcia and her young son were shot early today, the former receiving a wound In her neck. bells Scatter Insurer to. The range of the federal artillery was remarkably acourate, their shells landing close to the oncoming lnsurrectos and forcing them to scatter In their advance. It is obvious that the heavy artillery of the federals have given them a tremendous advantage. The cannonading continued slowly. The rebels used 'their- machine guns sparingly, while the federals poured their shells Into the Insurrecto outposts. Captain Underfelt, ths American who commanded the small body of men who first attacked Jaurex, was killed, together with five others of his command. Captain S&chlno of the federal forces Is reported to be seriously wounded. Fight In Streets of Jaarea. Fighting In the streets of Juares la con tinued. A rebel in Juares succeeded In telephoning Madero's headquarters that the revolutionists were In possession of many streets. Federals, as well as rebels, have taken refuge In the residences of Juares and axe firing from windows and doorways at persons who are visible in the streets. ' Skulking behind dozens of low -adobe houses are scores of lnsurrectos stealing Into the main section of the city. General Navarro has stationed his machine guns at the crotelngs of the principal streets and "hopes in this way to keep the rebels at bay, while his cavalrymen and Infantry men pursue tho attack from the rear. Numerous skirmlahes at short distance range are in progress along the outskirts of the town. At 11 o clock. 600 rebels were seen dashing up Commerce street, the main thoroughfare of the town. The federals Aiave retired somewhat to the hilly portion of Juares, due aouth of the river front. Madero Sanctlona Attack, A. Anderson and E.

The federals are gathered not only In the church but alongside a huge gas tank. Telegraph and telephone wires have been severed and are lying across the streets. Mexicans are in the front rank of the ln surrectos, followed closely by the American legion. Evidence accumulated throughout the morning that the attack on Juares was be ing made by the entire Insurrecto army with the sanction of Francisco I. Madero, provisional, president. Madero did not countenance the attack yesterday. Some of Madero's leaders say today that drunken Juares volunteers fired on the insurrecto sentries first. General Navarro declares the lnsurrectos openea tire wniie lie ana Madero wero negotiating an armistice. After the fight lng opened, rebel recruits continued to Join the fighters despite Madero's protests Madero made efforts to stop the fighting and the lnsurrectos, his own men, fired on a messenger he sent with a white flag.
