i! iiiliE III! Ill EVENT! .. Lill ffil Mil IE GREAT International Tourney of Sky men at Belmont Park This Month," to Mark Epoch Hn History of Aviation. (UnUert Pre Iriwd Wlre.l Xew York, Oct. 8. Few people realize ;iie magnitude of the International Aviation meet which in to be held at Belmont Park, Long Island, during the lai ter part of October. ... Daring airmen from America ; and j-airope win compels lor ine nenesi sei nf puif'os ever hung up1 for feats in the Mr. . That records will fall daily seems , assured from the elaborate preparations t he foreign aviators are making for the meet. Compered ' with the feats that have been witnessed abroad, America, the birthplace of the heavier-than-alr flyer lias been woefully backward in exhibi tions of ' advancement ' made In the art of aerial navigation. The promotors Of the great international -meet believe, therefore, that a stimulous will be given the aerial art by the coming meet-, ing that will place America In the fore front. Two thousand aeroplanes have been manufactured in France alone this year, and the French Aero club has granted pilot's licenses by the hundred. No man can secure a pilot's license unless he is a skillful and accomplished aviator. Compared' with -the hundredaflbf flyers in Europe, the American flyers who have really become expert In the ma nipulation of their aeroplanes can al most be counted on ten fingers. Wrights Were Pioneers, - Although "Wilbur and Orvllls- Wright made continuous -flights In a heavier than air machine In 1903, it was fully three years before a successful flight was made In Europe, and five years later before the aeroplane W8,a brought under any kind of control. Despite this late start of the French, they have far surpassed America In makes of , aero? planes and In daring and A successful pilots. It Is, therefore, hoped by the men who are backing the coming meeting that the Interest In aerial navigation In America will be spurred up to a greater pitch, ' The International Aviation meet was Inaugurated bv- the French Anrn fluh. the parent aeroplane organisation of the 1 world. It was first held on the great Bethany Plains, near Rhelme, last year. Speed was then the greatest aim sought by flyers. For that reason It was de cided that the pilot who won the speed contest would have the., right to de mand that the next international meet ing be held In his country. James Gor .don Bennett offered a wonderful trophy to the flyer winning the contest, in ad dition to the Immense cash purse of fered by the club. In an untried biplane of his own' make Glenn H. Curtiss of iiaminonaspori,' jn. - x,, won me event, his closest ' competitor being ' Louis Bleriot, a millionaire French manufac turer who Invented and perfected the monoplane type of .the heavier-than-alr flyer. ' Becords Smashed Abroad. The contest seemed to spur the for efgn flyers and In. the last year every single world's record has been smashed abroad. There are but two successful mukes- of American . aeroplane's, the Wright biplane and the Curtiss biplane, the latter, it is charged by the Wrights, being an infringement on the Wright jiatent. The fact that the Wrights have their machine patented Is said to have Aionn much to retard the advance of aeroplane manufacture in America, The French have taken up aeroplan ing as a sport, and individuals all over the nation own and fly In their private machines, as automobile owners in America drive their own cars. In America there are not a dozen privately owned aeroplanes. Clifford Harmon, the New York millionaire, and Harry Harkness, the- California oil magnate. being the notable exceptions. , Both the .

Hamilton that such flights . have fallen, . ..' , . -. .. iniio niniio in in xu question xnai the next International contes.tr wllLga back to Europe. Bleriot monoplanes have been averaging 5 and 70 miles an hour, while no American "aeroplane has made an authenticated speed anywhere approaching that. ' Curtiss, Hamilton and others are building machines for the meet from which they expect big things, but the other aviators do xiot believe they will be able to run 0ne-two-three' with the fast flying French team. , - , These air men believe that it will "be a good thing for America to be signally beaten at the coming meet A humil iating defeat at the hands of the for eigners might stir up the American In venting and sporting spirit to a degree that would increase interest in aviation In the United States and result In vast Improvement before the next Interna tional meelng is held.

PROTECT CITIZENS 1 (Continued from Fa ere One.) miles from the west coast of Honduras. There is only one fort upon the island, and that has only two guns of any size. Valladares, It is said, has fortified him self in this fort and awaits the advance of the Honduran forces. 1 .The state de partment gives no credence to the prob ability of a general revolution as a re sult of the insurgency of Valladares. The country . Is badly disrupted, how ever, because of the dilapidated condi tion -of Its finances, and the Honduran government Is anxious to avert any sus picion of trouble that might give ground for an uprising. Source of Trouble. ' The case of Valladares has occupied the attention of .American diplomats and consuls off and. on for three -yeacs. In J907, at the closoof the Honduran revolution, which placed DaviUa.ln the presidency, Valladares seized control of Amapala and the little string of neigh boring islands. By a consistent policy of misrepresentation Valladares bullied the timid Islanders Into submission and secured from Davllla, a confirmation of his. governorship. Has XU Temper. Since then Valladares 'has lorded It over Amapala lrv the most brutal man ner. His ill temper amounted almost to insanity, it Is alleged. Complaints piled up against him from the foreign consuls, but Valladares laughed" at ta villa's attempts to dislodge him from the Island. . '' Recently the Honduran government, which 4s attempting to put through a deal with J. P. Morgan & Co, for re funding the republic's debt, decided -that Valladares must go at all hazards and the customs house must be taken from his control. The foreign warships will have no legal right to act except In protection of foreign interests. OLD JOHN DIETZ . GIVES Uf FIGHT; IN JAIL WOUNDED (Continued from Page" One.

The surrender of Diets came after a day of wild western warfare that Is rivalled only in the most nighly colored works of fiction. He absolutely re fused to surrender at a conference held at the cabin yesterday between himself, Attorney General Gilbert of Wisconsin and O. G. Munson, the governor's sec retary, and Madden at once Instructed hts men to take him dead or alive. During the night the cordon of 100 deputies was drawn Closer around the cabin and at dawn this morning every bush, stump and hillock had its deputy armed with a Winchester. Everybody In Winter and from the surrounding country went to the scene in rigs of all sorts and with the news paper photographers and correspondents got behind trees fringing the clearing and waited for something, to happen. The Shot That Struck Diets. - Presently Leslie Dletr, came out of the cabin unarmed and went over to a field across the clearing, apparently after a cow. -His father followed hi in, going in the direction . of' the barn. Deputy Jack Britton, hiding behind a stump, called to Leslie and told him to surrender. The young man turned and fled for the cabin. Rules cracked all around the clearing. Mrs. ' Diets, who had come, into the yard, fled screaming into the house. Leslie fell through the doorway with a bullet In his thigh. His father escaped a hail of . lead and also reached cover scathless save for a glancing bullet wound in the hand. Knoll Shooting No Hitting. Then the fireworks began.' From all about the clearing the rifles popped and crackled, while Diets and his son kept up a, brisk reply from the windows of the cabin. The deputies, .' though' at that time they believed Diets seriously wounded, retained a wholesome regard for his marksmanship and kept to coven, making no attempt to carry the cabin by storm.

The surrender of Dletz ends his six year conflict ' with the "lumber inter ests" of Wisconsin, whlcn, he has con tended, and many believe Justly, have persecuted him. An astonishing amount of public sentiment has been aroused in his behalf since the "present attack. on him began and after the wounding of his daughter u-Myra and his son Clarence last Saturday public Indigna tion .has been at fever heat. Thou sands of , protesting telegrams ' have been sent to Governor Davidson, and many offers of armed assistance have been sent to Dletz, None of these ma terialized, however. Detailed Story of Last Battle. It was 3:20 p. m. when the deputies In the woods saw a little girl run out of the Diets house. Some white object fluttered in her hand. , When they looked through the glasses they saw It was a handkerchief and that the child was waving it to attract their atten tion. They, recognized her. as Helen Diets, John Diets' youngest, daughter. The. fire ceased Immediately. The child ran over the clearlng.and toward the line of guards. She was -crying. As she neared the deputies she called out. that they could come t6 the cabin;, that her father was hurt and would give up. Deputy Sheriff Fred Thorbahn at onco went out to meet the, girl, accom panied by a guard. When she repeated that the fight was over. Thorbahn and the guard accompanied the child to the cabin, keeping her, however, in front of them,; The word was passed, quickly that Dletz had surrenderedvand '.guards came running from' all directions, . Guesses Re's Got Enough. When Thorbahn and hts companions entered the house, still preceded by Helen, they were me,t frst by Mrs. Diets, also In tears, l.ghe sat on the bed. Helen and little John Dierx. tr. 7 years old were weeplne and cllmrina to her skirts. Leslie Diets was sitting in a chair nursing his injured thigh. John Diets was standing by the window. He turned and looked at Thorbahn with a grim smile,- . , , "Well," he said, "come amd'take me. I guess I've got enough," . Thorbahn. still susntetnus r1c,1 Diets whether he surrendered, telling mm on wnat cnarges he was wanted. Diets said he was giving up and Thor bahn crossed the room and put hand cuffs on him. As -Thorbahn and his cantlve turned to leave the cabin, Father Joseph Pilon, the Roman Catholic priest from Win ter, and Sully Heffelflnger of Minne apolis, who had been watching the fight. come running across the - c earinif.

' At' the same time throughout the United States similar meetings will be held to commemorate the memory of "The Modern Martyr' These meetings are being promoted by many 'in the United States who are advocates" of ad vanced education, with the Idea of cor- recting governmental and social abuses through this education. ,' At the' Portland meeting, C E. Q. Wood will read- an essay on the sub ject of "Freedom and , Ferror..". Dr. Charles II. Chapman will deliver an ad dress on the- subject of "Ferrer and the Insurgent World." T. J. Lewis will speak on the subject, of "The Progres sive Modern School." In addition there will be isuisic especially prepared for tr occasion. The chairman. 'of the evening will be H. J. Parkinson. . .Francisco Ferrer was the storm cen ter of Spain about year ago. As' a result of the long standing dissensions In the country, riots broke out in Bar celona, and Ferrer was arrested by the Spanish authorities, , the town bolng under martial law. . He was charged with complicity in the riots, during which churches' ' were pillaged and schools torn down and burned. . He was courtmartialed and executed after a trial which was termed a travesty on justice. v Ferrer had long been a leader in the "new education" on Spain. He had con tended that the best way to bring about higher citizenship and political and edu cational freedom in Spain was to edu cate the children of the country accord ing to modern advanced ideas. He was the head of a series of schools which taught te new educational doctrine. . Accordingly, the execution of Ferrer, taken as it was with the scanty consid eration given his rights at the trial, caused a storm ' of protest , to ' rise throughout- the civilized .world. The press of. the world took up the subject and scored the action of the Spanish' authorities. . Therefore the meetings of October 13 -have a deep significance, standing as a protest against mediaeval conditions and -for the educational" advancement of the world. ' sOld Time Property Sold.
