Aviator Hoxsey Smashes Another Record
MANBIRD FIGHTS
VACUUMS IN I
Pasadena Aviator Imperiled as
Engine Almost Goes Dead
at Great Height
(t'ontlnurd from r»»e One)
into affected my angina strangely.
There seemed nothing In them to act
an pressure ngainst the propellers, and
it was hard for me to breathe."
■ The only mishap to mar the events of
the day was the total wreck of Curtlss
biplane 13 late yesterday afternoon,
when It plunged fifty feet to the ground
with Lincoln Beachey, who was sailing
over the course on a trial spin. Tho
satne machine wim damaged the pre
vious dny when Beachey ran Into a
wire barrier.
Beachcy won rounding tlio turn In
the course tiff "automobile row" and
was about to slide in a landing before
tho Judges' stand, when No. la almost
turned turtle and drove one of Its
wings Into tim earth. The crowd,
Which was melting rapidly as the day's
flights drew to a close, saw the biplane
strike 111<■- ground and break Hko an
egg shell. Dust and splinters hid the
aviator from view, hut ho was pulled
out of the wreckage unharmed.
Beachoy blames the engine for being
slow and weak.
Shortly after Hoxsey. with the per
mission of the judges, had made his
ascension, Ely made a practice spin
around the course in a Curtlßs biplane,
Hp was followed by Parmoleo with an
armful of carnations, Parmeiee drove
'straight ahead over the grandstand
and s(*;«tU>rod red carnations the length
and breadth of the stand. Brooklni
followed with another bundle of carna
tions, but In- evidently flew too high,
tor the flowers fell wide of their murk
and dropped back of the grandstand,
where they were gathered up by the
venders mid sold later for souvenirs.
Latham, his cigarette clenched
tightly between his teeth, put his Mario
Antoinette through graceful maneu
vers.
IMG iir.i.n is contbmts
While Hoxsey was soaring from sight
on his altitude and duration flight,
Latham, Willard, Ely, Brooklns and
Parmelee entered the lists. Hoxsey
who with his flight lasting 3 hours
If. minutes and DO seconds, but count
ing only 3 hours 9 minutes and 60 sec
onds in this event, as he started 7
minutes before 1, the official starting
time, i'armolee took second place with
1 hour 23 minutes and in seconds' time,
Latham came third with 51 minutes,
Brooklns with 44:25 was fourth, and
Ely fifth With 43 minutes and 65 sec
onds. ■; .
Roy Knabenshue, manager for the
Wright brothers, went up with Dill
parmelee and took pictures of the
grandstand.
William C. K>rckhoff, member of the
aviation executive committee, dew sev
eral laps around the course with La
tham and appeared to enjoy his trip.
Parmelee and Knabonshue won the
passenger carrying event by 33 min
utes and 30 seconds, Brooktna and M.
('. Nelincr Of the 1 aviation committee
were up 20 minutes find 25 seconds,
Parmeleo and Knabenshue were third
with 17:40. and Latham and Curtlss
were up 0:45.
There was a special dally prize for
fie aviators crossing the finish line,
either way, before the grandstand and
'remaining as close to the spectators
as possible, in which Latham, Ely,
Brooklns, Parmelee, Willard, Hoxsey,
Hadley and Curtlss were contestants,
Latham won, Brooklns was second
and Ely third.
Glenn Curtlss pleased the spectators
by bringing his new SO-horse power
racer out on the course for Its second
tryout. Eugene Ely was placed at the
■ wheel and sailed the course In 1 mm,
, ute 56*1 seconds. Curtiss 1 time the
night before, when bo gave the ma
chine Its christening run, was faster
by many seconds.
The aviation committee yesterday
adopted a new plan, by which all those
attending the meet are afforded an
opportunity between 12 and 1 o'clock
of entering the field and visiting the
different camps on a tour of inspec
tion of the various machines.

AGED INDIAN SEES
BIRDMEN COMPETE
Chief lodine Visits Aviation Field
with Three Hundred San
Diego Boosters
One .Indian's stoicism was strained
almost to the breaking point when
Chief lodine, 88 years of age, one-time
confidant of John C, Fremont, the
"Pathfinder," and Kit Carson; the
noted scout, returned to Los Angeles
after an absence oC seventy years and
for the first time in his long life saw
.in aeroplane, lie was permitted to sit
In the aviator's seal and hold the wheel
which controls it when In flight. But
Chief lodine managed to avoid expres
ions of surprise at the wonder city of
stone, brick, concrete and marble that
had replaced the humble adobe pueblo
of Other days. And he restrained him
self, also,, when he saw the aeroplanes
(lying like great lirds above Domln
guez Held. "■
Three hundred boosters came from
San Diego to see the events of San
Diego day at the Held. A sqtiad of
sailors from the torpedo fleet came up
on the special train. "With them was
Chief lodine, who bore a letter from
Ulysses S. Grant, jr., head of the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition committee, to
Glenn Curtlss, extending the freedom
of the city of San Diego to the noted
aviator and a hearty Invitation to visit
tin. southern harbor and continue his
experiments in the navigation of the
air.
CHIKI' is SILENT OBSERVER
The sailors, led by the San Diego
band, marched on the field as a body- '
guard to the old scout and were soon ]
busy examining the Wright, Cur
tiss and Blerlot machines, while Chief
lodine delivered the letter with which
he had been intrusted. After march
ing up and down the Held a few times
while the band played "Dixie" and the |
"Star Spangled Banner," the San Diego
"boosters" returned to the stands to
watch the special program which had
been arranged for their entertainment.
The old chief, hero of a hundred bat
tles, who still can remember the oc
casion of the first raisins of the Amer
ican flag over San Diego, preserved
his stoicism even when confronted with
the machines of the air, but watched
with interest the evolutions which the |
aviators were performing around the
course. His face betrayed no emotion,
no outward manifestation of excite
ment or wonder appeared, but silently
he watched the rise and the fall of the
planes.
The San Diego boosters carried large
pennants, on which was Inscribed "San
Diego." While they were waving to
and fro in the grandstand Brooktns
SWOoped down and showered carnations
on them, amid the cheers of the thou
sands present. ■;''■'
ORIGIN or Indian* name
Chief lodine was horn in a tepee In
Oswego, N. T.i eighty-three y>ars ago.
His mother was the daughter of Chief
Mount Pleasant and his father a
French trapper. His grandparents on
his father's side came to America with
Marquis de Lafayette. While yet a
baby ho attracted the attention of some
white men, who asked if the baby had
had iodine poured on him.' The name
lodine was given him soon afterward.
When a boy lodine was sent to Now
York to his uncle, a Mohawk Dutch
man, as lodine describes him, named
Jacob Vosburgh. Voaburgh was a pilot
and put lodine to work on his boats.
His treatment was so brutal that
lodine ran away and shortly afterward
engaged with Fremont at St. Louis,
who then was recruiting his pathflnd
ing party to cross the far west In lay-
Ing out a trail.
"I was in Old Town — then San Diego
—with Fremont in 1846," said Chief
lodine, "when the first United States
flag was raised in that harbor, and l
have had my share in making the first
roads in this state."
HOXBEY WILL MAKE ADDRESS
Arch Hoxiey, who has been making
such a name for himself in his flight!
over Southern California, will mJilress
the students of Occidental college. in
the college, cnapel next AWdnesday
morning, lloxsey will tell of some of
his ojcp*reincei u» an aviator.and will

students of the difficult art of flying.

ASKED TO SHOW LICENSE
BEFORE REPEATING HUNT
if Hubert Latham, the famoua
French ai lator who recently dis-
Ungulshed himself by shooting a
dvi k while caroming through the
air above the ocean, repeats that
feat in this county he will have the
law after him.
Although Latham performed bis
feat in the Interests of scientific
flying In the air he neglected to
attend to the little legal matter of
obtaining a state license to hunt,
and so ain-ady ha« laid himself
liable to Jirrost and linn for his
clover work as ii nlmrod of cloud
land, lie whs able to beat a duck
at Its own game, but VV. J. I lurm,
garni warden of Los Angclea
county, doubts Latham's ability to
1,,,., Hie gamp of ihe game warden,
and ho already has written the avi
ator thai ho haw violated the law.
■■j:,.(■,,,,- you repeat your aerial
duck hunting," wrote Mr. Durm,
»pli i . rform tli- formality of
calling al my office In the i our!
bouse and -how me your license."
Lai ham has not called, v I Itti n
nor shot another duck In the air
wince Mr, Durm wrote him, which
was shortly after the remarkable
feat was accomplished.
According to California laws the

Ai Latham is a Frenchman he must
pay the latter amount to bunt in
this state whether he uses a gun
while mi tool or In the air, accord-
Ing to Mr. Durm.
Not Implying that Latham would
seek to evade the law by using bin
aeroplane, it still Is an odd specu
lation how his arrest could be ac
complished it' he wanted tv adopt
that plan. _^_____
