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

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.

have been averaging 5 and 70 miles an
hour, while no American "aeroplane has

approaching that. ' Curtiss, Hamilton
and others are building machines for
the meet from which they expect big
things, but the other aviators do xiot

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 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.

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.

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," .

Will Hold Meeting Here on An
niversary of Spanish Edu
cator's Execution.
In memory of FrAnolsco Ferrer, the
noted Spanish, educator,, sentenced to
death and executed by' the Spanish gov
ernment a year ago -for his supposed
complicity In the Barcelona riots, a
celebration will-be held In Portland on
the evening of October 13, af 8 o'clock,
in the Women of Woodcraft hall.
' 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. '
