Spain, April Another French aviator has met death while making a flight in an aeroplane. Hubert le Blon, who. prior to taking to the aero plane, was a well known automobile driver, «a« killed while making an ex hibition flight here to-day. He was circling the royal palace of Miramar at a height of 140 feet when his motor broke down. He attempted to glide back to the shed, but the machine turned over and swooped with terrific force against the r•< ';s. The aviator was crushed to piece-. Hue. le Blon witnessed the accident. and when the body was recovered from the <-. ■■< she rushed shrieking to the ambulance to which it was being carried. She threw herself on the lifeless form, kissing it repeatedly and refusing to be led away. As the weather was stormy, T^e Blon's fiipht was unexpected, and only a few persons assembled to see the start. After the accident, however, a great crowd quickly gathered and followed the body to the police hospital. There an examination was made, but the doctors could say only that death must have been instantaneous. Hubert le Blon distinguished himself as an aeroplane expert by beating the record for five kilometres at the Cairo meeting last February, when he covered the'dis tance in 4 minutes '.' seconds. He took part in the Vanderbilt Cap automobile race over the Long Island course in IMS, and was sixth when the race was called, In 1!*1 he entered the Paris-Berlin, the first of the great international contests, which was won by .rni^r. and finished seventh. He t<>«>k i«art in a auaber of other motor car contests, and was usually well up at the finish. E. L«»febvre and Captain I»uis F. Ferber, both Frenchmen, were killed last Septem ber while making aeroplane flights, and Lieutenant Thomas ridge was killed the previous year, also in -September, in the accident at Fort Myer to Orville Wright's machine, FIRE SCARES' SICK.

This policy is such a radical departure that Commissioner Baker will not have his amended rates ready for to-day. In the absence of definite instructions the police are expected to follow cut the Mayor's idea and not make any arrests. And by the same token saloonkeepers are expected to bare their barrooms to ihe Raze of passorsby. Rut forecasters as to the day's "hu midity" have ' nothing: to go by. "in siders*' said yesterday that "the word" hadn't been passed round yet. They couldn't even say who could pass it under the new conditions. Mayor Gaynor .<-*'><..] pat and paid his leiter spoke for itself. Commissioner Baker said the let ter was a masterpiece, or words to that effect, and seemed satisfied. Saloonkeepers have echoed the Com missioner's sentiments. Yesterday, how ever, their satisfaction was conspicuous by its absence. They would give "a l am-! of rum and sugar three hundred pounds" to know where they "get off." Their approval of the Mayor's remedy for police graft, so hearty at first, has resolved itself into th<» query: Is the cure worse than the disease? Sunday receipts are too large for most saloonkeepers to lose, however, com«; what may. So it is the general Impres sion that the side doors will be kept swinging as usual, but with extra pre cautions against the stranger within the gates. Chains and peepholes will be in use, It is expected, and lookouts will first identify all thirsting ones before the cups are filled. The Raines law hotels, of course, will do their usual Sunday business in sandwiches. Coney Island hot.-i and amusement re sort proprietors inferred that to-day would be about as every Sunday has been for a good many years on the isl and with respect to the sale of liquor. Captain "Mike" Galvin is the new com mander of the precinct, but his plain clothes men are all well known to the liquor dealers there, and can be spotted if they get busy taking evidence. This is more or less the case in every pre cinct m the > ity. a fact from which sa loonkeepers derive some comfort. still. Monday or Tuesday will tell, they all admit with a sigh, l! the District Attorney issues a crop of warrants then the suspense will be over and the jig will be up. If no warrants appear there will be further suspense, which both saloonkeepers and police, think is punishment enough in itself. For the police do not relish the situa tion, either. With the cases of Keenan and Cunningham fresh in mind they are not eager to show too much zeaL Ob the other band, there undoubtedly will be evidence to collect in bushels. What's th«- answer?
