Way for Time.
SAN SEBASTIAN. Spain. May 2S.
After adventuresome -flights over
France and a corner of the Bay "of Bis
cay, Aviators Vedrlne. Garros and Gil
bert, contestants In the Parls-to-Madrid
airship race for the Petit Parl
slen prize of $20,000. arrived here today
In the order named. They will con
tinue the race to Madrid tomorrow.
Vedrlne reached here at 10:6 o'clock
this morning, after battling with death
near the Spanish town of Fuenterrabia,
where he encountered dangerous air
eddies and nearly met disaster on
jagged rocks. Although the wings of
his machine grazed the crags, bending
one plane, he continued the flight. He
made no stop between Angouleme,
France, and San Sebastian.
Leaving Angouleme at 6:13 o'clock
this morning, Garros made the flight
to San Sebastian, arriving at 11:40. He
waa forced to stop two hours at Fuen
terrabia for fuel. . '
Gilbert, the last of the trio to reach
San Sebastian, did not sail into the city
until :62 o'clock this evening. After
leaving Angouleme this morning he
lost his way in a dense foj over the
Bay of Biscay. He flew over water for
two hours and then encountered land
where he could alight. He took on
fuel, but was delayed several hours
making repairs to his motor.
Only the three succeeded in reaching
Angouleme and will continue the flight
to Madrid.
The first -stage of the flight from Issy
Lea Moullneaux. Just outside Paris, to
Angouleme was begun Sunday In the
presence of thousands of spectators. On
account of the accident at the opening
of the race, however, which resulted in
the death of Minister of War Berteaux
and the Injury to Premier Monis, all of
the contestants were not able to get
away. Some of the aviators, including
M. Train, whose machine was the cause
of the tragedy, retired permanently
from the competition.

I regarded as so satisfactory this morn
ing that he was Informed or M. Ber
teaux's death. When he asked as to the
condition of M. Berteaux, a member of
the Cabinet replied:
"All Is over."
For a moment It was feared that the
shock was too much for the aged Pre
mier. He fell back in the bed. tears
filling his eyes. Later, however, he
recovered and talked of the qualities
of M. Berteaux. who was an Intimate
friend of the Premier a well as his
associate in the Cabinet.

Dr. Matthews, an elder of whose church
Is foreman of this grand jury, that
Matthews' friends have been determined
to get an Indictment against the editor
of the Times to discredit what the
Times may hereafter say touching these
trials In open court.
Parson Called Conspirator.
"The circumstances surrounding the
bringing of these Indictments are of a
character to convince any candid and
unbiased man that Instead of the edi
tor of the Times being subject to an
Indictment for conspiracy, the only con
spirators subject to criticism or Indict
ment have been Matthews and his sup
porters, who have raked the city for two
months In an endeavor to find some
thing of a tangible nature to declare
against the editor of the Times.
"To my friends everywhere, I desirs
to say that this Is simply the outcome
of a political fight and that the cases
will never be brought to trial, the aole
purpose being to discredit this publica
tion during the trial of the cases now
pending before tbe criminal court."
Tftappensteln Charges Grow.
The grand Jury also returned two ad
ditional indictments against ex-Chief
of Police Charles Wappenstein. making
a total of six now filed- against him.
Still more Indictments were returned
against Ludovlc Dallaglovannl and
Charles Berryman, formerly proprietors
of a large dancehall In the old King

Bail was nxed at $5000 on each in

released on their own recognizance to
appear In court tomorrow to furnish
bond.

An opportunity and good judgment is responsible for this sale. - Having purchased many hun
dreds of petticoats from this maker we were certain of his tailoring, cut and style. Of his quality
we were equally sure, as this manufacturer has the reputation of making none but the best petticoats.
Being fortified with the above facts, it was an easy matter for us to make an offer for his entire
stock of made-up petticoats. -
It is probably the largest single purchase of petticoats ever made by a firm in Portland.
Many sell regularly at $3.95, $4.50, $5.00, $6.00 and $6.50 each.

In the Wappenstein affidavit it is
set forth that several persons who
would testify in his behalf have been
Intimidated by Detective Burns and
Murphy and have been threatened with
prosecution and penitentiary sentences
If they did not appear against the po
