death today, and his brother. Car
roll Hester, was seriously Injured as
the result of asphyxiation and
shock, in a fire believed to have

efforts yesterday when the terrific
speed at which he was traveling
forced the pure air from the small
compartment in which he practical
ly has to lie down, and gases from
the 24-cylinder motor forced their
way back in and overcame him.
Williams’ first effort to take the
plane into the air for a speed trSl
which is to decide the navy depart
ment on whether or not to send it
to England to compete in the in
ternational races, was frustrated
when the backwash of a pleasure
craft tossed h plane so badly on
its tiny pontoons he was forced to
stop the motor. The second time
a large ferry, entering the river
from the bay forced him to again
cut off his motor.
FRENCH OPPOSE
RACE WITH ZEP
May Induce Coste to Meet
Graf in America Rather
Than Try to Beat It
• •
LEBOURGET, France, Aug. 22 —
UF)—Captain Dleudonne Coste,
France's premier aviator, announced
today he would take off on his mys
terious long distance Journey—to
Tokyo to race the Zeppelin across
the Pacific, or to New York—as
soon as weather permitted.
This information was accepted
generally as explaining his falure
to appear at the field for a sched
uled take-off at dawn.
He made a three-hour test flight
this morning In his plane, the
Question Mark, and at the end of
the flight announced the wireless
apparatus, which had not func
tioned properly yesterday, was now
working at Its best.
The French filer was silent as
to his exact plans but If he has aban
doned his project announced yes
terday of a flight to Tokyo 4t is
believed due to the pressure of
friends. It is understood they have
been pointing out it might seem un
gracious to Dr. Hugo Eckener and
to Germany to inaugurate a race
around the world and might be in
terpreted as an attempt of the
French flier to detract from the
honors which Dr. Eckener is receiv
ing for his great dirigible flight.
It was thought therefore this
might induce Coste not to pursue
the Zeppelin and to head instead
for New York, perhaps meeting the
dirigible on American soil.
Indigestion Stopped Quickly
By Stomach Antiseptic
What is commonly known as in
digestion is a fermented condition
of the stomach which keeps the un
digested food sour, creating acids
and poisons. Fermentation is the
worst obstacle in the way of over
coming stomach disorders.
GORDON'S—an internal antisep
tic, gets immediately at the cause
by stopping fermentation—soothing
and healing the inflamed and irri
tated membrane lining — driving
out the acids and poisons. It
strengthens weak or disordered
stomachs.
Surprising results may be expect
ed in cases of indigestion, dyspep
sia. excess acid. gas. bloating,1
heartburn, sour stomach and that
"tired feeling."

edy today from your druggist.
Costs less than three cents a dose.
