Aviator Flew Upside Down FRENCH BiRDMAN PERFORMS REMARKABLE FEAT DESCRIBED LETTER "S" Executed a "Loop the Loop" at Height of 3,000 Feet -Flew Quarter of Mile with Head Downward Juvisy, France, Sept. 1. The daring French aviator Pegoud, who on August 20 made a parachute drop from an aeroplane from a height of 900 feet to day which at first sight appears to have been a piece of extraordinary aerial acrobatics, but which experts declare was an epoch-making experi ment towards the attainment of safe ty in the air. Briefly Pegoud caused his monoplaneto describe a gigantic letter "S" in the sky, during which he was - flying upside down for about a quarter of a mile. Assumed Perpendicular Position. The strictest secrecy was maintained prior to the test, and only a few per sons were present when Pegoud took the air. He mounted rapidly to a height of more than 3,000 feet, des cribing a curve; then the forward Vart of the machine was observed to incline towards the earth. Through glasses the spectators saw the propeller slack en and the areoplane further incline until it was perpendicular with the earth. It seemed as if nothing could stop the headlong plunge. Pilot With Head Downward, As the machine dropped swiftly the tail dipped agahj towards the earth and the pilot appeared head downward. Seconds, which seemed hours, passed. With almost imperceptible curve, the machine shifted its course to a straight liHe, the p.ilst to the same position.. JIow long he remained upside down the afixious watchers eould pot der ternaine, but it was long enough to cause thera to believe that he -would never right himself, Experienced Strange Sensation, Presently the , mofiopiaae dipped again, and with a graceful curve asr sumed -aa erect position. Pegoud flew for Sj. few minutes tj and fro and der seended by a series of beautiful spirals. Ofl landing, the aviator said; ''Everything went splendidly. The levers aswered the slightest touch. I remained for a long time head dowiir wards, because I wanted to, not be cause I couldn't help it. The sensation is strange but not unpleasant, and the machine did not pitch at all. Purpose of the Experiment, '1 went very slowly so as to avoid subjecting the machine to too violent strains put had I wanted to, I could have righted myself much more quick ly," Pegoud-s frs pertinent ss prompted by the theoy recently expressed by Louis Biefist' ttej in jtiie paramount problem of attainiag "safety in" the air, automatic self frighting eLeviees and parachutes are beside the question; that they are just as fftuefc aT 'the mercy' of a sudden vieie" gust "a ftfe ordinary air craft.

Unless 8uperior Judge Matthew Hutchinson changes his mind over night, the habeas corpus proceedings tomorrow In the case of Harry K. Thaw will be held in private. Not even William Travers Jerome, chief of the New i'ork state interests seeking Thaw's return to Matteawan, will be . allowed in chambers. To Avoid a Demonstration. Judge Hutchinson announced his de cision tonight. He had weighed the matter carefully all day, noting mean time the ever-sweHing crowd pouring into Sherbrooke for the fair. On the lips of nearly every one was a sym pathetic word for Thaw, Taking cog nizance of this and of the outbreak of last Wednesday, when Thaw was cheered in court as a hero, the judge decided that the wisest course would be to exclude spectators. Reporters also are to be barred, according to to night's arrangements and while the Thaw lawyers may be present in a body, if they so desire, only two rep resenting New York are to take part in the proceedings. They are Samuel Jacobs of Montreal, chief .Canadian counsel for the state, and Hector Ver net .appearing for the Matteawan asy lum from which Thaw escaped in a motor ear two weeks ago yesterday. Three Courses Open to Judge. Thaw is to be driven from, the jail to, the courthouse in a closed carriage, in charge of Governor La Force. Hun dreds who will doubtless line the streets along which he passes will be denied a glimpse of Thaw unless he leans out of the cab window. In chambers it is expected the proceed ings will be brief. There are three courses open to the judge. He can ad journ the hearing until a later date and ask both, sides to submit briefs; he ean sustain the writ, which wil instantly make Thaw a free man and place him within the grasp of the im migration officers; or he can deny the writ and remand the prisoner . back to Jail tto await disposition of his case by the' king's bench in October. Thaw's Lawyers Confident. - Thaw's lawyers maintained tenight that the writ having been sued out by a disinterested person, Jojhn Boudreau, chief pf police of Coaticpok. will not be upheld. Counsel for New York were equally emphatic in expressing their belief that Thaw would ber"'fce' leased and seized for deportation. TSpfh sides were prepared to fight to the last ditcb Thaw's lawyers to keep" in jail; New York's to get hira't. Mr. Jerome expressed no sur.fisa at the decision of Judge HutctiingQ "I doubt whether I should have, "gojiji to court anyway," was his commetu.

The holding of the "heai jng in chambers raises a nice problem that no one here tonight cared solve off hand.
