J .Sporra of Prisoners and WltneMra. - This morning when City Judge Ora AVIldermutrr-i-mounted t lie bench the court room would not hold the prisoners, much less the witnesse.

The special train accompanying the aviator left the Union Station at 3:30 o'clock and was held out In the Alton yards until it was learned that Rodgers had made a start. The train went to Argo, thirteen miles. Rodgers was full Informed as to his directions, and for assurance sake

, strips of white cloth had been posted at

(intervals along the Alton rails all the

way. to Springfield. But some unwiso

'friend in Grant park told the flier Just before the start that the drainage canal, another marker of the route, ran near 'Hammond.

After circling over Grant park Rodgers headed for Hammond to pick up. the "canal." Then-he followed a meandering creek for what he estimates as fifteen miles. He became apprehensive and retraced his flight to Chicago, where he got his bearings again. Ontrnna , Special Train. The engine of the special train and

three switch- engines at Argo tooted .their whistles incessantly to attract the flier to the houte. When , he did appear in sight, he was coming so fas that the special was unable to keep up when he did appear in sight, he was coming so fast that the special was unable to kep up with him.

Chicago papers which did not adhere to the truth and Intimated that It was- the police who interfered. The Hammond police on the contrary

gave Rogers every consideration and were more than solicitous for his wellfare. They tried 'to induce Norman to change his mind but the northside farmer was obdurate. Arrive la Chlcaico. "When he got to Chicago five thousand persons watched Calbralth P. Rodgers loom out of the sky In the south .yesterday, grow from a mere black dot into ,a big biplane, and then come to

earth in Grant Park within fifty feet of

his old hangar site,' where he kept his machine during the recent aviation meet. The aviator was scheduled to arrive here, at noon, and he . missed hU schedule by only three minutes. It was 11:57 when his motor stopped. At 4:02. o'clock he again took wing, and In eighteen minutes had disappeared In the direction of Springfield. Tho special train on the Chcago & Alton pulled out of the L"nln Station an hour ahead of him. It was 5:20 o'clock when the aviator landed'" in a fieid on the farm of Daniel O'Connor, . midway between . Lorkport

and Joliet. He had flown seventy-seven j miles in the seventy-eight mTrmtes he was In the air, but the acual distanco' covered was only thirty-three miles.

He was blown out of his course at th start, and was confused by dense smoke, being practically lost in the air for an hour. .Rodgers spent the night at Joliet and expected to resume his flight car'y today. " ot After $."O,0OO. Rodgers yesterday definitely declared that he has given up al hope of winning the William Randolph Hearst prize of $50,000 for an ocean-to-ocean flight, as the time limit is up tomorrow, but. In spite of thlsXact he will continue his journey In an attempt to break the world's long-distance record. With the same grim determination that won for him the endurance record during the recent air carnival, he will continue westward. For the first time in a week the aerla! sportsman was greeted by a clear sky ;yesterday morning and long before bunrise his mechanicians were preparing

the Wright biplane for the trip to Chicago. A suitable starting field wa?

found about two and a half miles southwest of Hammond. ' A brisk wind did

not daunt his determination to make a

"getaway" and at 11:31 he was In the

air.

In spite of the fact that he flew into

a head wind he covered the twenty-four miles In twenty-six minutes.

From 12 o'clock until 4 was one of

the aviator's busiest periods since the

start from New York. Although his expected arrival had been announced, the South Park Commissioners had made no provision for police protection, and it was necessary to send several policemen to guard the flyer. From the first he was a popular hero, and wherever he walked he was followed by an . admiring and wondering crowd. Chicago . crowds . proved themselves better behaved than in the majority of cities through which he has

passed, and !t raequtres Diit little effort-

to control the good-natured multitude.

Rodgers landing was sensational. A treacherous wind inspired no fear In him, and his spiral dips 1 nhis Wright j flyer "Yin Fi" caused thrills a-plenty. ! Scornng the open lake front, where in 'case of emergency he could have mad'i a safe landing, he floated over the Michigan avenue skyscrapers. Once he 'dived so precipitously toward the earth that a shout of fear ' went up in the air, but. he tilted his lateral planes just in time and coasted to safety. t

Harold MrCormlrk Greets Him. Word quickly spread that Rodgers

had appeared in Grant Park;, and soon

a continuous stream of people and automobiles was running across the Van

Buren street viaduct. A score of the regular air fans were on hand to greet

the aviator, among them being Harold

McCormlck and James E. Plew. The former, who is noted for his penchant

for matters aerial, could scarcely contain his enthusiasm. Rodgers attained an altitude of 1,500 feet befdre ho sailed south in the afternoon. Starting from a knoll at the north end of the park he glided into the air . after a run of less than 150 vards and then climbed rapidly upward.

He circled the Illinois Central Depot, came -back around his starting point and then followed the lake shore as far "south-as Jackson Park, when he started in the direction of Joliet. Although a chiVly day he scorned warm clothing as he has on previous occasions. "I " don't' feel right when I am bun

dled up, is his objection when heavy raiment is offered by his solicitous wife. "From the moment I got up 500 feet In . Hajmond," he said, VI could see the buildings in South Chicago, while away to the right the labe lay blue and cold looking. I headed for this and then followed the shore to Grant Park. Everything looked Just the same as when I wasc here during the air meet, except that I missed the plyons and the tends of thousands of people who surrounded the field then. "My motor is in fine shape, and the bi-plane has been completely overhauled, so I feel confident of making Springfield by tomorrow noon "I am anxious to fly to California.

(Special to Thsj Times.) Crown Point, Ind., Oct 9. It Is said that every pressure will be brought to bear by those having any influence in the matter, to Induce H. W. Seaman tho Gary and Southern president to rush work on the line and show his good faith In the matter. With the sale of the bonds which Seaman asserts is; a fact, there should be little to hinder him in pushing the road to rapid completion and those whom have been lenient with him in extending time, etc., should be repaid by the best efforts of Mr. Seaman In carrying out his pledges to them The prospects for the road never looked better and If Crown Point gets the road
