The biplane came to earth in his dairy infected," said Dr. Davis,

a cornileld bordering college avenue, 1 and just a few yards from the west fence of the Earlham athletic field. The straps holding Kastory in his j seat broke under his desperate efforts to keep the machine in the air and just before it alighted he jumped and escaped without a bruise. Inasmuch as the machine dropped on its wheels he probably would not have been in- j jured had he remained in his seat. The machine alighted on top of a corn diiwr aim ilb nunc wua yuuiieu suuui. The motor was running perfectly when the machine so abruptly ended the air voyage which was to have taken it over the city and back to the starting place. As a result of the damage done to the biplane this forenoon, it will be Impossible to make the scheduled flight late this afternoon. Yesterday no flights were attempted because of the stiff wind.

"Not enough room to make a good start in and that is the only cause for this accident, ". laconically said Kastory when the advance guard of the excited . . crowd of spectators reached the scene of the 'accident.

He was leaning against the seat of the machine calmly surveying the wreckage, the only perfoctly selfpossessed person in the crowd. Kastory then explained to newspaper men .that to make a safe ascension it was necessary to develop a speed of 40 miles an hour on the ground. Reid field, he said, was entirely too small to develop such speed and as a result when he soared over the fence his big engine was not developing enough power to keep the machine in the air. "I knew I was taking a risk when I went up in th machine," the aviator stated. "Our booking agent made a mistake in contracting for me to make a flight in such a small field." Machine Damaged. '"The damage done to the biplane con- ; sisted of a broken steering gear, a 7, broken airline plane, a splintered pro- , peller and many broken wires control1 JIng the propeller and the planes. The plane above the engine was also badly damaged. There were several hundred people at Reid field to witness the start of the flight, the first one ever attempted in Richmond or this locality. When the big aircraft soared over the fence the spectators gave voice to their pleased astonishment, but when it was seen to dart toward earth, a cry of horror went up and there waa a general exodus, many men sprinting across the field and climbing the high fence. Kastory is a veteran aviator. He is a Hungarian and learned the aviator's art in that country. When he came to the United States he became a professional aviator. He modestly admits that he has been in seven serious accidents but has always escaped with minor Injuries. His last accident was at Wyoming, Pa., last spring, where bis machine was demolished. BOY HITJY AUTO itfoung Brumfield Not Seriously Hurt, However. Congestion of traffic before the parade yesterday was responsible for an accident in which a young boy named Brumfield was cut on the hand. He was crossing Main street at Sixth when an automobile driven by Walter Beaty, of New Madison, struck him. Brumfield saw the machine approaching and thrust out his hand to protect himself, the glass in one of the lights breaking and cutting his hand and wrisL The injuries are not serious. Beatty was arrested and held until the police had investigated the matter. They found that the man had turned sharply to the left side of the street to avoid another vehicle and that the quick stop of the automobile saved the boy from serious injury. Beatty was released. C.

Epidemic of Typloid Threatens Wh$ City

A small epidemic of typhoid has struck Richmond. City Health Officer Davis reports twelve or fifteen cases in the city, seven of which have been infected from the use of milk from the W. H. Hartman dairy, according to the health officer. "At least, this is our surmise," said Dr. Davis. "There are ten cases at the hospital, and we have found that six use milk from Hartman's dairy. One case under private care also has been using the same supply. Three other cases are still indeterminate, but it is probable they, too, have been infected from the same source." Dr. Davis sent Local Inspector Flook with State Inspector Tucker to investigate conditions at the Hartman place. They reported the place as not very sanitary, but explained that had been difficult to persuade the dairyman to better his methods.

Rabies iiv-liye stock .has caused Charles Stemple, a farmer living near Elliott's Mills a great deal of trouble. Dr. L.. C.

Another sow belonging to Stemple was bitten on the same, day, but she has shown no signs of developing the disease. A cow that was bitten at this time went mad two weeks ago and was killed by Dr. Hoover. Stemple has no means of telling how many of his farm animals have been infected. PAROLE IS REFUSED Eschenfelder's Plea Is Not Granted By Board Herbert Eschenfelder who was convicted in the Wayne circuit court of robbing box cars in the east end yards' of the Pennsylvania railroad, and who conducted a school of crime in which boys were taught how to steal, was denied a parole by the Indiana board yesterday. Eschenfelder appealed to the members for his release on the ground of good behavior. In the trial of Eschenfelder in the Wayne circuit court, it was brought out that he had served a sentence in the penitentiary.

E TO STREET Death Comes Close to Small Child of Mr. and Mrs. White. Death came close to the 18-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Russell White, residing near Lynn, when a festival pilaster at North Ninth and A streets was overturned by the Tale yesterday. The force of the descending pilaster was broken by striking tne arm of Mrs. George Davis, grandmother of the child, who was carrying it. The child was knocked from her arms and fell to the street, suffering a contusion on the head, which necessitated the attention of a physician. Mrs. White, the mother, became at most hysterical. The and the child were rushed into The Palladium office, and medical aid was summoned. The disnatch with which the suffer ers were removed from the scene of the accident prevented what threatened to be a small panic. The mother and the child in a few minutes were surrounded by scores of persons who were returning from the festival parade to the midway. After they were taken to the office, the doors were closed and the news of th accident was keDt from the hundreds of persons crowding North Ninth and A streets.? Mrs. White and the child left for their home late in the afternoon. CONDO TO TALK S. S. Condo. of Marion, will give an open air address this evening at Seventh and Main streets on the issues raised by the Socialist party. The meeting will open at 8 o'clock. House Model
