The (Treat feat of crossing the snow-capped Alpine barrier between Switzerland and Italy In a heavler-than-alr machine was accomplished by Georges Chaves, the young Peruvian aviator. The plucky hero of the exploit, how ever. Ilea tonight In the Domodossola Hospital, badly Injured aa the result of an accident that happened Just as he had completed the most arduoua and nerve-racking portion of the task. Both hia lega are broken, hla left thigh is fractured and hia body la badly con tused: but physicians are of the opin ion thac these hurts will not prove fatal. The accident happened as Chaves was 'trying to make a landing here. The Alps had been crossed successfully and the aviator was descending with the power of hla machine cut off. When about 30 feet above' the ground a sud den gust of wind seemed to catch the monoplane, which turned over and fell. When the crowd that had been watch ing the descent ran up. they found Chavex lying bleeding and unconscious beneath the twisted wreckage. Will ing hands lifted the aviator from the ground and bore him to the hospital. Goal Almost In Grasp. Thirty miles away and over country that has none of the hazards of the Alps, lay Milan, the goal Chaves was seeking In an endeavor to win a prize of $20,000 offered By the Italian avia tion society for the flight. Chaves had lout the race. Leaving the gTOund with his motor running at full speed, he rose In sweep ing circles until he had reached an altitude of 7300 feet, machine south over then turned hla the terrifying Plmplon pass. After crossing the divide, Chaves turned the towering white mountain head of Moute Leone, which rises to a height of l(.(4f feet, and passed down above the Gondo Gorge, a deep gulf between sheer walls, until he reached the open valley of Pedro, and then de scended eastly toward Domodossola. Here the accident happened. Minutes Stand for Days. The 25 miles between Brleg and Domodossola. which It took the armies of Napoleon a fortnight to negotiate. Chaves accomplished In 40 mlnutea. After treatment in the hospital Cha vez regained consciousness. He suf fered terribly from his Injuries. HI aid he was unable to explain bow the accident had happened. Henry Weymann. the American avl ator who made two unsuccessful at tempts In the Brleg-Mllan race today, sent a telegram of sympathy to Chavex. Although Chaves did not succeed In winning the prize of $20,000. having failed to reach Mtlan. some of the members of the aviation committee are In favor of turning over the purse to him and erecting a monument In com memoration of man's first flight across the Alp. Weather Conditions Good. The weather for the competition waa excellent. The morning opened dear on the surface, and the haze that had gathered on the mountain tops was early blown away. By noon the wind .ad died out. Chavea believed that the favorable opportunity which he had awaited since Monday morning had rome. and he decided to make the start. He got away at 1:2 o'clock and rose to a height estimated to be nearly 7000 feet. He passed swiftly over the moun tain tops, clearing the summit of Slm p!on Pass at 1:44- At that time his monoplane waa moving aa steadily as a railroad train. After negotiating Blmplon Pass. Chavez followed the route over Gondo Gorge, one of the grandest and at the same time one of the most savage of the Alps. He reached hera at 1:11 o'clock. Put for the mishap In alighting, there is little doubt that he would have suc cessfully continued to the goal, aa the remainder of the course presents little difficulty. There Is a general regret that fate, which permitted him to make what has been described as the moat reckless flight ever attempted, should have dealt less kindly with him when he had reached the sone of flying and the prize was In sight- CHINESE TAKES POISON financial Troubles Lead to Suicide of Kantona Restaurant Man.

NEW EVIDENCE IN, RUMOR T. R. Ellexson Will Be Arraigned at La, Grande Today, There Being Fear of Riot if Trial Is Held in Home Town of Slain Man. LA GRANDE. Or.. Sept. 23. (Spe cial.) Peculiar coincidence and secret orders by Union authorities thwarted a rapidly fomenting lynching fever at Union tonight. After four or five hours of persistent growth, the spasmodic outbursts of mob rule In the little town of Union has assumed menacing pro portions and the authorities here, thinking Sheriff Childers. of this city, was speeding to Union from Echo with T. R. Ellexson. the man suspected ss the murderer of Waldo Perry telegraph ed to La Grande to have the Sheriff and his prisoner detained at this place and the man Incarcerated in the more formidable bastlle here. But Childers and his prisoner are In T nH lot nr. tATltfrnt. How ho happened to be there Is not known here, but It Is presumed the Sherirf missed nis ir' - a n v rat. rcitexaon Is un- a-w -...,t and tTte evidence against him is growing more and more specific though there is sDsoiuieiy no clew that could apparently convict .him. Ne-w Evidence- In. The Coroner at Union tonight inti mated the morrow might bring forth new developments, but steadfastly re fusing to specify what the nature of the new evidence is. 'Ellexson will be brought here tomorrow and his trial will take place tn a local Justice court. It would be foolhardy to attempt to hold a trial at Union, where the smol dering embers of lynch fever need but a tiny spark to be touched off In riot fever. The Coroner's Jury hastily reached a verdict tonight, in an effort to stop the snreadlng sentiment, and the Jur ors agreed that "Waldo Perry met his death at the hands or an unanown assassin." Developments Are Fc-w. This must suffice for the present but the nrlsoner will be arraigned in Justice Court tomorrow. As far as the public Is concerned, there Is nothing new In the case. It la freely whispered about that the widow has made some assertion that will make the chain of evidence about Ellexson more secure but fearing that any definite evidence coming to the public s ear would merely whet the growing lynch talk, the au thorities have censored all news per taining to new evidence, and while they do not deny there Is new evidence, (hey will not, nevertheless, admit that It Is sufficient. In their opinions, to Clinch the man's fate. Ellexson Comes From Texas. Ellexson wss enumerated In the cen sus at Union last Summer and said his parents lived In Texas, but the town was not specified. He has no other family, he said. Perry was burled this afternoon, and the entire town of Union paid honor to hla memory. Business houses closed their doors end several grades of the public schools were excused. At that time a few of the more erratic were talking lynching, but the authorities paid little attention to It. Then, fol lowing the funeral, the fever spread to Its present proportions, and those, In position to know say that Ellexson's appearance tn Union tonight would have precipitated a struggle that could only end In bloodshed. 15000 SEE EOCENE FAIR IRVIXG GRANGE WINS $100 PRIZE FOR EXHIBITS.
