RIVAL IN RACE, DELAYED, TRIES TO KILL HIMSELF Great Throng Greets Daring Bird- man on Early Morning Arrival in Havana. KEY WEST. May 17.—In a flight which compares in daring with any other ever made on the North Amer ican continent, Domingo Rosillo, an obscure young Cuban aviator, flew over the Gulf of Mexico from here to Havana, Cuba, 80 miles away, in a Moissant aeroplane, winning the $10.- I 000 prize offered by the Havana Mu nicipal Council for the flfst flight be tween the cities. Rosillo left Key West at 5:35 a. m. and landed in Ha vana at 8:15 a. m. Heaving the terminal of the East Coast Railroad in a gale of wind at 5:35 o'clock Rosillo skimmed across the intervening stretch of turbulent water without any mishap. A sensational and dramatic Inci dent, which almost cost a human life, , attended the start of the flight. Rival Threatens Suicide. Augustine Parla, another aviator who was to race across the gulf with Rosillo, attempted to have the daring little Cuban abandon the flight for to-day because of the high wind and roughness of the water. When Parla saw that Rosillo was determined to start he began to overhaul his Curtiss biplane. Friends Intervened, saying: “It would be sure death to start In this gale, and if you should fall into the water the waves are so high you would be drowned.” Parla persisted and finally his friends had to restrain him forcibly. PaHa, in desperation, pulled a pis tol from his pocket and, placing the weapon against his forehead, threat ened to kill himself unless he was al- 1 lowed toi start. Friends took the weapon from him. Wind Held Plane Down. The aviator then entered his ma chine, which had been equipped with pontoons and which rested on the surface of the water. The wind was so high, however, that the aeroplane would not rise, and the wires holding the pontoons snapped. Waves then began splashing over the machine ,„nd all hope of starting the flight was lost. Meanwhile Rosillo, who had got a flying start, had disappeared in a southwesterly direction, bucking s s'tlff wind that threatened to send his aeroplane crashing upon the water. A great crowd gathered to see the aviators start, but on account of the wind and the choppy sea it was be lieved that neither man would at tempt a flight. At 5 o'clock Rosillo sentTt radio telegram to Morro Cas tle asking after the condition of the weather off the Cuban Coast. The reply came back that flying condi tions there were ideal. “That settles it," exclaimed Ro sillo. “I'll start, for I promised to make the flight before Sunday, and I am going to do it or die trying." For a while the Cuban tinkered with his machine, testing stays and seeing that all was durable for the wind test it was soon to go through. When he clambered into the machine and gave word to his mechanician that he was ready to start a great cheer went up. The machine arose through the air at the height of about 100 feet, and then, With the grace of a swallow, '■darted southward. Rosillo waved his < 'band and then gave his full atten tion to the aeroplane. Above him th» sky was gray with storm clouds: be low him the sea was tossed and tum bled by the wind. FORREST ADAIR THANKS HEARSTPAPERSFORWORK IN THE SHRINER VICTORY By FORREST ADAIR. I HARDLY can find words in which to express, my high appre ciation of the good work done for Atlanta by Mr. Hearst and the Hearst newspapers in the matter of bringing next year 's meeting of the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine to Atlanta. Not only did Mr. Hearst give us the free and unlimited support of The Atlanta Georgian and The Sunday American, but every newspaper he owns in the United States was working for the Gate City. I REGARD IT AS SIGNIFICANT THAT IN EVERY CITY, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IN WHICH MR. HEARST HAS A NEWSPAPER, THE DELEGATIONS ATTENDING THE SHRINE MEETING IN DALLAS WERE FOR ATLAN TA FARST, LAST, AND ALL THE TIME. I 4au the effects of Mr. Hearst s work, time and again, as the fight progressed, and always it was hearty and effective in Atlanta’s behalf. The fine special Shriner edition of The Atlanta Sunday American which Mr. Hearst sent to Dallas was read widely and went far toward convincing the delegates that Atlanta is the place to hold next year’s meeting. And last of all, I thank The Georgian and Sunday Amer ican for having a personal representative on the ground in Dallas to keep the home folks informed promptly and fully of the proceedings as they developed. Atlanta won a magnificent victory, through the assembling of numerous influences, and no one deserves more praise to-day than does Mr. Hearst and his newspapers. He and they have proven themselves to be Atlanta's loyal and enthusiastic friends. In this statement I am joined cordially by Mr. Hinds, Mr. Foster and Mr. Hutcheson, the other members of the commit tee from Yaarab Temple having in charge Atlanta’s interests in Dallas.

Atlanta outdid herself in her reception of this victor. Noted as she is for her patriotic spirit, no demonstration that this city has ever given of appreciation of her sons was ever seen to equal this one. And every cheer which arose from the thousands of those who attended the ar rival and participated in the fol lowing parade rose up from the heart. Pandemonium reigned when the il lustrious Yaarab stepped from the train and pandemonium continued un til he disappeared Into the Temple at the end of the gorgeous pageant. Knoxville SHriners in Parade. Enthusiastic witnesses and partici pants in this demonstration of Atlan ta spirit were the members of the Alhambra Temple of Shriners from Knoxville. They attended the Dallas Conclave and are en route home. At the Terminal Station, however, they were induced to join in the parade, and lent their efforts also to the tremendous welcoming which was being accorded the Yaarabs. When they return to Knoxville they will carry with them the enthusiasm and impetus of the Georgih city to trans plant into their own. The procession which formed at the station was an impressive pa geant. It consisted of two lines stand ing shoulder to shoulder and emitting volume after volume of cheers as the illustrious potentate, his coterie of fighters and the reception party pass ed. Upon the repeated shouts for speech, speech,” to the home-comers Mr. Adair said: “1 promised to ‘bring home the bacon’ and f did. We owe all thanks t«i the gehefnus hearted Atlanta citi zens, who through their donations enabled us -to put up the fight we did. I am sure that they will make next year's convention of the Shrin ers the greatest and most memorable ever held by that body.” W T hen the Yaarabs stepped off tehtr train they were accorded a demon stration such as has not been sent ringing down the streets and avenues of this city in many years. « March to Terminal Station. All local Shriners, of whom therte are about 700, were summoned to be at the Masonic Temple at 12:15 o’clock sharp with fezes on and all the other trappings of their order. At this meeting place also came the brass bands, the elephant and the camels, as well as thousands of other persons. The entire bpdy formed in procession and march to the Terminal Station. Apprehension as to the actions of the animals in the great excitement which will attend this procession was expressed by park animal keepers; however, on this occasion their ex cuses would not be accepted by C. H. Essig, of the Reception Commit tee.

Great Crowd on Hand to Cheer Rival Baseball Teams to Victory. Brimming over with enthusiasm, the loyal sons and fair adherents of Tech and Georgia will again assem ble at Grant Field to cheer their little armies to victory when the two teams meet Saturday afternoon. With the critical situation involv ing the championship of Tech.or the redemption of her lost prestige by Georgia, the thousands of fans who attended Friday's game will go again Saturday and take their friends to add to the bedlam of voices, stamp ing of feet and other madnesses which go to make up a real college game. Not one among the witnesses from the grandstand and surrounding em bankment—nor from the tree-tops In the distance, even—will be able to control their actions in the enthusi asm which Saturday’s game will pre cipitate. When' Tech and Georgia clash even the urchin of the street will risk his life to witness the fray and add his Small voice to the uproar for his fa vorite team. As a hub about the uproarious rooting of each side’s constituents will appear the beautiful sponsors who, as on Friday, will occupy the honor benches on the diamond near the players' headquarters. Upholding with their beauty and yivaclousness the standard of the University team* will be Miss Mar jorie Brown and Miss Mamie Ansley, while directly across the diamond’s homeplate point will be Miss Kate Cooper and Miss Bertha Moore for Tech To these two central points are directed the eyes of the mob of rooters, and from the sponsors will they receive their inspiration for what easily may be expected to be the most enthusiastic and earsplltting display of luhg-power and eccentric gymnas tics which has ever been witnessed at a college baseball game.

Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey said Sat urday that his “greatest detective in America” would not figure again in the Phagan investigation, and that it was extremely doubtful whether he would be recalled to testify at the trial. “He has finished his investigation,” said the Solicitor, “and we have no further need for him. A detective is one thing awf a witness is another. His investigation led us to witnesses. It Is not necessary for him, or any detective, to tell the jury what a dis interested witness will tell.” He would not say, however, wheth er his decision not to put the “great est In America” oh the witness stand would apply to the city, Pinkerton and Burns detective?. Grand Jury Meets Wednesday. The Solicitor announced that the Grand Jury would meet next Wed nesday for an extra session, but said It was hardly probable the. Phagan case would be considered then. He said there Were a number of cases that demanded attention and the ex tra session would more than likely he called to dispose’ of everything on the calendar to prepare for the ses sion Friday, when the Phagan case would more than likely be presented. Mr. Dorsey said that his interview of Friday, In which he said the Burns men would vvo.rk under the same con ditions as the Pinkertons, had been misconstrued by some to mean that the services of the great detective were not needed. Welcomes Burns’ Aid. He said that he did not intend to create that impression, when as a matter of fact lie would welcome Mr. Burns in the case and give him every co-operation, except giving out infor mation or evidence that had already been secured. He will continue to ex amine witnesses up to the day the case goes to the Grand Judy, he said Bernard L. (’happen, attorney for the negro. Newt Lee, said Saturday morning that unless the Grand Jury acted on the Phagan case next week he would bring habeas corpus pro ceedings in an effort to secure his re lease. Pursue Writing Clews. With powerful mlscroscopes, mag nifying glasses and a series of reflect ing mirrors Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey and the city detectives, as sisted by a handwriting expert, who is said to be one of the best in the country’, are minutely examining the “handwriting clews” in the Phagan mystery. They confidently expect im portant developments. Solicitor Dorsey would not disclose the identity of the expert on penman ship because, he said (he man’s serv ices were voluntary and given with the understanding that he was not to be known unless it became absolutely necessary to place him on the witness stand. The Solicitor said, however, that he was one of the best in the country, and the great detective agencies considered his tests infal lible.
