NKW YORK, Oct. ;'7. -S'ucli are the
caprices of October weather that Hulpli
Johnstone and Arch lioxsey of the
Wright team of aviators went up for al-
titude at Belmont Park this afternoon
and brought down the record of the day
fur distance.
The fifth day of the aviation meet open-
ed full of promise and closed In a howling
wester that filled the air with whirling
autumn' leaves, idamnicd down benches
from tho grandstand, ripped out the can-
vas screens that bar tho view of those
who have not paid but hope to gage, and
sent such a cloud of dust around the
track that the flare lamps had to bo
lighted outside the hangars for the me-
chanics to find their way about. It was
a furious end to a day of postponements,
disappointments and scattered fonts of
the most daring airmanship that lias yet
been shown to an American crowd,
Officially, flights for tho Gordon Ben-
nett elimination trials to pick an Ameri-
can team which shall defend tho Interna-
tional trophy won at Rlielma last year by
Glenn H. Curtiss, opened at 9 o'clock thin

in the strong wind.
At 1:30 o'clock the special prize of {10,-
000 offered liy Thlpmtts Fortune Ryan for
a flight from the field to the Statue of
Liberty and return was open "to any
aviator, but none of them dared try.
They chose to take advantage, instead,
of the latest largess allowed them by the
committeo—permission to competes be-
tween 1:30 and 3:15 o'clock any afternoon
during the meet, provided only that they
should finish before 5 o'clock.
That narrowed the program down to
one hourly event for distance and alti-
tude. Latham, lu an Antoinette mono-
plane, for distance, and those Insatiate
rivals, lioxsey and Johnstone of the
Wright team, for altitude, were the only
ones to brave a gale of from twenty to
twenty-five miles an hour.
TIIKY FLY BACKWARD.
it was going stiff. Johnstone and liox-
sey tried to imitate the gull, to set their
wings and sour Into the gale without ef-
fort, but they showed that the "way of
an eagle In the air" Is still ono of the
things man docs not understand. They
kept their polBe beautifully, but although
the speed of the biplanes they were flying
is normally thirty-five miles an hour and
their engines were running wide open,
they were pushed steadily out of view
and down over the edge of tho horizon.
The upper gale they struck must, have
been more than forty miles an hour, but
neither was willing to come down before
the other and they stuck It out until
forced to land by sheer compulsion of the
elements.
Both were driven miles off the course.
Word came from Hoxsey first that he had
landed safely at Brentwood, I.. I., about
twenty-five miles distant.

revolution has brokeu out at Athens. Telegraphic Inquiries sent to the Greeclari cap-
ital this afteruoou have elicited uo response.
There has been much 111 feeling nt Athens recently against, the National Assembly,
culminating in the dissolution of that body hist Tuesday. The Assembly was especial,
ly elected for the purpose' of undertaking a revision of the constitution. Opposed to
the recent Assembly was the ministry cordially supported by the King and the popu-

STATUS OF QUESTION IN TENNES-
SEE NEARS DEFINITION.
Citizens of Memphis Alleifo Their
Rights Are Being Abridged
Through Law Nonen-
forcement.
MEMPHIS. Tenn.. Oct. 27,-Tho status
of the prohibition question In Tennessee,
so far as the Jurisdiction of the Federal
Court for tlilH district extends, will bo
finally defined within the next several
days.
This was announced late this afternoon
by Judge John E. MoCall In the United
States Circuit Court after hearing argu-
ments from early this morning as to
whether a temporary- Injunction pending
against certain Memphis saloonkeepers
should bo made perpetual or dissolved.
In the meantime 1H downtown saloons
aro dark In obeyanoo to a restraining
order Issued several days ago.
In the suit at Issue the question hinges
on tho construction to be placed on the
fourteenth amendment to the United
States Constitution. In their petition
seeking ihe perpetual enjotnment of the
saloons In question, fifteen representative
citizens, through the I.aw Enforcement
League, charge that their constitutional
rights as citizens and the protection as-
sured them Is being abridged through the
nonenforceme'nt of the State prohibition
laws, and that appeals for relief to tho
State and local officials have failed of
results, making Imperative recourse to
the Federal authorities.
In the absence of decisions of an Identi-
cal nature, the opinion of Judge MoCall
will establish a precedent In other States
ae well as in Tennessee, and It Is declared
that further action In an effort to com-
pel the enforcement of prohibitory laws
will depend largely on his decision.

In describing the earlier part of tho

"We followed a northeasterly course
across the Mississippi and Missouri Riv-
ers, and thence along the Illinois River
into the Htate of Wisconsin. In the morn-
ing we were In a position Just, north of
the city of Milwaukee, but over the lake.
We descended so that our rope trailed in
the water, but the air was light and wa
again rose high to K"t the eastern drift.
That tarried us up over Lake Point Au
Sable, near I.udlngton. At that point tho
wind veered slightly to the north and we
passed over Traversa Cltj. From there
