stantly it was seen that a great race
was on—the first real race of the
ten days. The two aeroplanes, full
speed on, came over the grandstand
with the speed of an express train.
Curtiss, It was plain, was gaining.
He crept swiftly on Paulhan’s heels
nnd on the third lap alter starting,
he reached Paulhan, flying above.
The Frenchman for a few second held
his own. Then Curtiss, In his Amer
ican machine, forged ahead by a nose,
a length, and finally by half a lap.
It was no raco after that. The
American machine was demonstrated
as the fastest beyond question. As
Curtiss reached over Paulhan, he re
ceived the greatest applause that any
of his efforts had gained. Paulhan
went on ahead until he had traveled
t>4.4 miles and had been in the air
nearly an hour and a half. Curtiss
came down after a thirty-mile trip.
This race gives the whole story of
the day’s meet. The Curtiss ma
chines have won all the prizes for
speed, quick starts, perfect landings,
and those events where a light

has won all the cross country, passen

Paulhan has taken more than f 15

Officers Now Seek McGill
Knife User—SfxMen field
-Killing Cold Blooded
The coroner’s inquest held yester
day at McGill to inquire into the
murder Thursday night of Marco Du
kovac, 24 years o.a, an Austrian, ia
the Austrian quarter of the smelter
town, returned a verdict tiling the
responsibility of the crime upon An
drew Klanjac, or Glaich, whose
whereabouts are now unknown to
the authorities. It was shown by
the evidence that the murder was a
coldblooded one.
It was with the greatest difficulty
that any of the details of the killing
or the story of events preceding were
learned by the coroner’s jury, prac
tically all of the 20 foreigners ex
amined declaring that they knew lit
tle or nothing about the trouble.
While the county officers have no
clue to the present whereabouts of
■ ne murderer, they entertain strong
belief that his friends are hiding him
and that he will be located in the
i near future.
According to the evidence at fhe
hearing, practically ail the residents
! of the Austrian quarter in McGill
were drinking more or less during
1 the evening, in celebration of the
birth of Saint John. It seems that
during the festivities an argument
arose over the old differences be
tween the Greek orthodox church and
the Roman Catholic church, in which
more than thirty Austrians partici
pated. A fist fight followed in which
Joe Plinovich, John Kamich and
Matt Pavich were the combatants.
Peace finally prevailed and the two
factions to the argument retired to
; themselves. Dukovac, who is a mem
! her of the Roman Catholic church,
; and who is said to have defended his
belief in the general argument, was
standing near the house of a friend,
when Kianjac, who is a supporter of
the orthodox belief, suddenly appear
ed and, before interference could be
offered by bystanders, stabbed Duko
vac in the groin with a dagger, cut
ting the main artery of his left leg.
Marco Sutla, who was the only
witness ■who yesterday admitted that
he saw the stabbing, started to de
tain Klanjac but was quickly fright
ened back by the murderer, who
threatened to deal with him as he
had with Dukovac. Klanjac then dis
appeared and Sutia, with several
others, picked Dukovac up and car
ried him into a nearby house, where
he died from the loss of blood with
.n ten minutes.
I no TnUruPrpu man, uunuvai,
a recent arrival at McGill and was
unemployed. His slayer has resided
there for more than a year and was
employed until the Sth at the smel
ter. He is described as being 22
years old, about 5 feet, 8 inches tall,
weighing about 155 pounds and of
sandy complexion with light hair and
mustache.
At the conclusion of the hearing,
Joe Plinovich, John Kamach, and
Matt Pavich were taken into custody.
