'ROOSEVELT FLIES HAS BULLY TIME COLONEL DELIGHTED WITH AERO PLANE EXPERIENCE. Gives His Pilot Some Anxious Mo ments, But Finally Comes Down Safely. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 11.-Theodore Roosevelt today made an aeroplane flight as the passenger of Archibald Hoxsey and said it was the finest sen sation he ever had experienced. He traveled two times around the avia tion field at Kinloch park in three minutes and 20 seconds. He waved his hand at the thousands of specta tors, much to the discomfiture of the -aviator, who feared that the colonel might hit a controlling cord. When the machine alighted easily a few feet from the starting place, a mighty shout of applause went up. Hoxsey, a Wright aviator, said that Mr. Roosevelt made a good passenger except that he enjoyed the trip so much that Hoxsey was afraid the col onel would fall out or interfere with the engine which was roaring at his side. Was too Restless. The colonel waved his hands at the crowd so vigorously that Hoxsey call ed out to him: "Keep your hands on the rail, col onel." Col. Roosevelt, who had forgotten to hold himself in, waved his hands once more and then obeyed orders. The colonel's flight was a surprise to everybody. Although he had been invited to go, no one had the least idea that he would so so, and he him self did not decide to fly until the moment before he stepped into th3 .machine. The trip to the aviation field to -watch the aeroplane flights was on the afternoon's programme for the colonel's day in St. Louis. He went to Kinloch in an automobile at the head of a procession of motor cars half a mile long. Covered With Dust. "he cars were filled with members of the Republican State and city com mittee and business men. The ride -was a fast and dusty one, andi much sof the way Col. Roosevelt's face was -covered with a thick coating of Mis souri soil. Col. Roosevelt's car was driven di rectly on the aviation field. Hoxsey's biplane was standing directly in front f the grandstand. Col. Roosevelt stepped out of his automobile with Gov. Hadley at his side and walkedI over to the biplane. He inspected the broad planes and the engine and shook hands with the aviator. "I'd like to have you fo: a passer-1 -'ger," said Hoxsey. The colonel look00 edi at him without a word. Then he began to take off his coat. It was rthe first intimation that he would make a trip in the air. Gov. Hadley stepped up quickly and said: Hadley Nervous. "Are you really going up, colonel ?" "Of course, I am," said t'm colonel. Without another word he took his -seat at Hoxsey's direction beside en gine. Gov. Hadley admitted after 'wards that he was nervous. "This is, my district and it extends up into the air; and I feel a sense of responsi ~bility while the colonel is in my ter ritory," he said. Col. Roosevelt removed his slouch liat for the flight and borrowed a gray cap which he puilled down over his eyes. Hoxsey took his place beside Col. Roosevelt, who watched the prep aration with a smile of anticipation. Four guardsmen seated themselves on the ground to hold the tail piece of the airship until the propellers were well under way. The six-cylinder mo tor barked and spouted smoke. The Start. Then the motor was stopped for a moment. After two more tests the motor was allowed to run and the ma chine ran over the ground quickly. ,Col. Roosevelt gripped the rail hard and looked straiglit ahead. The ma chine skidded over the field for a few vards, then lifted its nose into the air. rising easily. The aeroplane sped quickly around the field at a height of less then 100 feet. It made the first lap of a mile and a half before news percolated ,through the crowd that Col. Roosevelt was Hoxey's passenger. When the colonel swept by the grandstand, he; leaned forward a bit and waved his' hands. The spectators seemed fright ened and remained silent, watching: the aeropla,ne intently. The flying machine sped by, and made the turn for the second lap. Hloxey could be seen to bend over and shout something into the colonel's ear. Fast Enough for Colonel. The engines cracked regularly, ,hurling the aeroplane forward at a speed of nearly a mile a minute. but t- from 1'ho ground it looked as tbouigh ii sailed so evenly and smoothly. There was not a breath of wind and the engine did not miss a fire once. At the end of the second lap, Hoxey dipped his planes, and the machine descended easily, striking the ground without a jar a few rods from the grand stand. The machine glided over the grass a short distance and stopped. Col. Roosevel, smiling his most ex pansiva smile, disembarked back wards. He became entangled with the wires, but was soon out of them. When the people saw that he had landed safely, they cheered the colon el wildly. Col. Roosevelt's first act afer alighting was to shake Hoxsey's hand vigorously. Denounces Democrats. St. Louis, Oct. 11.-Theodore Roose velt denounced the Democratic party in New York as "an unholy alliance between Wall street and Tammany Hall," in a speech tonight and attack ed the Democratic party in Missouri by calling it the "party that repre sents the special interests and spe cial privileges." Col. Roosevelt also defended the present position of the Republican party in regard to the tariff. Calculating. Washington Star.
