IN AVlATION
AGAIN
JOHN B. MOISSANT FLIES ACROSS
ENGLISH CHANNEL WITH
PASSENGER.
IS NATIVE OF CHICAGO
I One of the Most Daring Feats in His.
tory of Man-Flying Accomplished
by Citizen of This Country Who Has
Been Little Known in the Art-Trip
Madp in Thirty-Seven Minutes.
I)(nl, Englanld, Aug. 17.-It has been
rese(rvled for an A mericalln (itl.lon t.,
perform one of the most daring feats
In the history of aviation, John 1B.
Moisxant of Chlango flew ncross the
English channel from Calins to T't
manstone with ia passelnger and by thin
achievement far surpassed the feats
of lleorlot, De Lesseps and the Eng
lish aviator, Rolls, who afterward jmet
his death at Bournemouth.
The two-man flight from France to
England was the more astonishinl in
that it was only a month ago that
Moissant learned to fly and was so lit
tie known among air men that not
even his nationality was disclosed. He
was reputed to he a Spanfard and it
was only when he landed in England
today that it was revealedI that he Is
a young Chicago architect.
Ignorant of His Course.
To make the feat still more snr
prislng, Moissant was totally ignorant
of the geography of his course. lIe
hail never been in England and was
obliged to rely antirely upon the com
pass while crossing the channel in the
teeth of a strong westerly wind.
The channel flight was an Incident
In the aerial voyage from Paris to
London. Moissant left Issy yesterday
with Hubert Latham and reached
Amiens in two hours. Lathum's acro
plane was wrecked and this morning
Moissant, leaving Amlena at an ehrly
hour, headed ftr Calais. His mechani
clan, Albert Irleux, who had accnm
Ipanied him across the country, took tl
his place in the machine when the mn. I
tor, had been set In motion for the dash
across the channel, It
Thousands who had gathered to
watch the daring aviator were amazed p
and urged him not to make the at- s'
tempt in the face of the half gale that a
was blowlng. Molsnant cared nothing t'
for the warnings of the people and h
even though there was no tqrpedo boat ft
to follow in his wake, but only a slow- II
ly moving tug, did not deter him. He a
made the trip In 37 minbtes. When he tl
descended, his eyes were bloodshot and
greatly Inflamed. as a result of the t
heavy rainstorm into whleh he drove c
' On approaching the English coast. The c,
1 high windt beat the 'rain Into the faces a
of the men like hall and almost blind- a
ed them. An average height of be
tween 300 and 400 feet was maintained d
over the water. The cold was Intense
and both Molannt and his mechanl
clan were benumbed. When he revived "
sufficiently he lallughed'nd saiold to all
IlntIvloewer:
First Vipit to England.,
"This is my first visit to England. tl
This is only m.y sixth flight in an nero. tl
plane. I did not know the way from n
Paris to Calais when I started and I si
do not know the way to London. I t!
shall have to rely on the compass. I ,,
would like to land In Hyde Park If I
can find It.
"My mechanician, who weighs 18.
pounds, had never been In an aeroplanb
hefore and did not know where I was
taking him when h'e left Paris. The
people tried to dissupde me from tak.
Ing the flight from Calais in the gusty
wind, bult in spite of the pitching dillr
ing the crossing of the channel, the
greatest difficulty encountered on the "
trip was landing, the sea anti land
wind causing dangerous cross cur
rents." a
Asked how he came to attempt such
a flight as that frnm Paris to London,
Moissant said that the idea was dlsr r
cussed In aviation circles in Paris and h
was generally regarded as an impossl- S
hillity. He said that not only would id
She attempt It himself, but he .wbld "
carry a passenger also. He was sur- tl
prised to hear that Latham had start- ft
btl on the fllght, but d'termined to p
follow him in spite of La4.rln's big ad. A

Molssant, Who is 36 yeeps of age, is A
of slight build, but seemingly of very a
jovial temperament. He first visited 1
Paris some months ago and became p
interested in the study of avlit'ion. He
had two machines built after lsis own oi
dealign and found the subject no fas- I

talked over the defeat of Colonel
Roosevelt by the New York Mtate re- 6
publican conmn;ttee yesterday and the
selection of Sherman over Roosevelt t
av temporary 'halirman of the Sara
toga, convention. M-r. Sherman said
he had no intention o; ,withdrawing in
favor of Mr. ltroanvelt and he treated
lightly the stories that there might he
a fight in the convention to repudiate
the neticn o the state comlmittee.
The vice president also talked w ith
the president regcardi.g the coming c
camlllign. A strlightllfrwlardl repNill
can fight onl t ie republican llkltforni

the tatriff' he put it. E
At Mr. Shermatn's sulloitation Presl- I
dent Taft. igreed to Inlt the waly in t
the campaign ,by wilting it letter c
which is to he it Ililrt of the campaign

A statement is bling prepared In c
quarters close to the tdmilnistratlon In k
which the attitude recently taken by
Mr. ('aninon in, publi. interviews' will
'bp deplored and in whilch It will be
made plain that there is no thought
on the part' of many of his former
supporters nain tt namen Cannon for

Reperesentatlve L~dngworth of Ohio,
who hats Fen called into nearly alt the
recent conferences at the president's
home, was ait the interview with Mr.
Sherman today. Representative An
thony of Kansas, one of the so-called
"standlpatters" In the .Kansas delega
tion, who succeeded in staving off do
feat by the insurgents in the recent
ptilmarles, also saw the president. Mr.
Anthony also supported C'annon, but
,he, too, said today that lie deplored '
tie stald Mr. Cannon is taking. Mr. a
Anthony saiold that Spealilker Cannon had It
almo{t been forgotten as an Issue in S
