queen of the occasion, and she was form-
ally vested with complete authority
over the ship. meat in so far as details
of navigation were concerned.
Miss Langmuir was acknowledged to
be the prettiest girl on the boat, and
her choice as queen was considered just.

ship, led by a. bugle band, and headed
by a company of Boy Scouts under
coimnand of Lieut. -Col. H. Minden Cole,
and a company of the Canadain Rifle
Cadets, tinder 'command of Captain Still:

MTUROTS FALL

His Biplane Smashed to
Pieces at the Donlands.
Uneven Runway Caused
Machine to Turn Turtle,
•••••,,••••••=1*.
Aviator Escaped Unhurt—
Willard Unable to Fly.
•••••••••••••••••
Toronto aeepatelit Because of the fact
that hie ina.chlue atruck a mound on
the runway while he was getting
ready to take the air at the aviation
meeting at Donlan& last evening, J A.
D. ,Afeettrdy, the Canadian aviator, met
with an accident which might easily
have cost aim his life. As it was his
biplane, in which he flew from 11=11-
tou to Toronto on Wednesday evening,
was completely wrecked., and it is fear-
ed that the engine was damaged. The
loss will be at least $2,000, and if the
Gnome engine is injured It will mean
$4,000 more, a total loss of $6,000 for
the Canal:men. -.Me accident, however,
will not prevent McCurdy from flying
every other day, as he has ;mother ma-
ehine, which has never been used, ani
the runway will be levelled. to -day to
prevent any similar aecident.
It was exactly threis minutes after
eeven when McCurdy started to fly. The
special trains which took the people to
Donlands from Toronto had arrived at
the aviation field about ten minutes be-
fore, and at least, a hundred automobiles
were lined up along the fence. A driz-
zling rain was Jailing, and for a time
it looked as if there would be no flights.
McCurdy, however, decided' to fly, and
his biplane was wheeled from the tent
to the runway in front of the specta-
tors' grand stand. After the engine had
been, tested, AleCurdy took his seat and
started. It was Seen as soon as the
machine moved that the field was very
rough; but by the time be had gone •
about 300 yards along the ground Mc-
Curdy's machine was travelling at the
rate of forty miles an hour. He was
getting readyto take the air at the
very end of athe line of automobiles,
abont 200 yards further on, when the
machine struck the mound and was
forced into the air. Of course, McCurdy
was not prepared to go into the air,
as the machine had not reached a suf-
ficient speed. to warrant any attempt
to rise. The force of the impact against
the mounchalowever, forced the biplane
about 'fifty feet into the air. It was
directly over the line of automobiles,
and McCurdy attempted to steer it
away. There was not sufficient -air,
however, to allow any steering, nor to
carry the machine, which soared *about
a hundred feet to a height of fifty feet,
and then, turning turtle, dropped to the
ground.
As the machine was seen to fall, sev-
eral hundred of the spectators at once
ran to the cud of the field, expecting
to see McCurdy crushed beneath his
-engine. Instead, they found. the Can-
adian calmly sitting on the ,ground,juet
about to light his pipe. The only fact
which accounts for his escape is that
he was not tied in to his seat. If he
had been he would.have been unable to
throw himself from beneath the engine,
and would have been killed.. The ma-
chine struck the ground and rolled over,
after turning in the air, and all that was
leff was a pile of wreckage, saturated
with gasoline. The propellors were
smashed to kindling wood, and provided
many souvenirs for men and women
anxious to take away something to re-
member McCurdy by.
McCurdy's first words as he stood
on hisfeet were that he was sorry
to have disappointed the people. He
said he was sorry that so many had
gone out to see the flights and had
been disappointed, but promised to
fly again this evening in his new Ma-
chine. He toli of the accident and
its cantle, and stated that the runway
would have to be leveled this morning
before any more attempts at flying
could be made. This will be done, and
the mound which caused the accident
will disappear. To this and a large
steam plow will start work this morning,
the leveling to be done under McCurdy's
supervision.
MeCordy's new machine, which
never has been used, was taken to the
aviation grounds yesterday afternoon
and was partly set up. It will be fin-
ished to -day in time for this evening's
meet,
Tom Jackson, of New York, and
Mr, E. M. Wilco' x who accompanied
McCurdy and Willard to Toronto, were
among the first to arrive when McCurdy
fell, and offered assistance. McCurdy,
however, ginned and walked, away, in
or-
der to °Scope the questions of the hun-
dreds wbo had crinkled abourhira and
his wrecked Machine.
WILLARD UNABLE TO FLY.
Charles F. Willard was greatly dis-
appointed ,because he was unable to
make a flight last night. While his
machine was being taken from the
Exhibition grounds to the aviation
field on a dray, it was badly wrenched,
end as his tool chest had not arrived
from Hamilton it was impossible for
his mechanicians to get the biplane
reader for flight. The tools will arrive
this morning, however, and Willard will
fly to -day. &Onion eame to grief in

OLD CROW CREEK
Explorers Discover Water-
way in the Yukon.
A Splendid River Navigable
for 400 Miles.
Ottawa, Aug. 7.—The discovery of a
river in Alaeka, 400 utiles long, was an-
nouneed today by Frederick Tennyson
Congdon, member of Parliament foi the
Yukon. Mr. Congdon has just returned
from a visit. to ba constituency, the
round trip booting taken a little more
than six weeks.
The discovery was made by the survey
party sent out by the Dominion Govern-
ment about three =laths ago to mark
the international bedidary. The party
is provisioned for a two years' stay and
expects to meet with great hardships, as
muck of the territory they have to tra-
verse has no tiznber and they have to
use oil for fuel. They went up the Por-
cupine River, a tributary of the Yukon.
The Primitive maps indicated a small
stream tributary to the Porcupine call-
ed the Old Crow. It was so ehratened
by an American bartender Who had
turned prospector'and was not supposed
to be more than 25 miles long.
The Government party in a fifteen -
foot gasoline launch, turned into the Old
Crow. After they had gone 25 miles,
the river narrowed and appeared to end,
miles.
Mr.
surveyors pushed on and found
that the Ohl Crow broadened out into a
splendid river, navigable for nearly 400
Mr. Congdon says the discovery is a
most important one, as it opens up to
proapectors and others a new means of
communication with an important min-
ing country. The discovery will shorten
the tune required for the survey and de-
marcation of the intonational boundary
by many months.

Vitebo, Aug. 7.—If a trial for murder
ean be in any sense funny, the descrip-
tion fits to -day's proceedings in the
Camorrists' ease. Tile prisoners them-
selves were responsible for the diversion.
From the atart they have not failed to
use every menus to oonfuse the state
witnesses, many hurling angry in-
vectives. Te -day they adopted the more
petent weapon of ridicule and rnercile,ss-
ly guyed Marshal Farris, to the undis-
gulehed amusement of the epeetatore,
Farris is the thirdof the famous trio
of detectives to be heard again Camor-
rists. He is a onions men and on the
stand assumed the delivery of a preach-
er. The sermon effect was accentuated
by an unfortunate nasal twang. The
prisoners were not slow to see their
opportunity and before the witness had
proceeded far there was greens from
the ateel cage, folleyred by sighs and
eobs, first half suppressed,' and then
seemingly uncontrollable as the prison-
ers pretended to be greatly affected by
what they heard. This mockery con-
tinued, the witnees being frequently in-
terrupted with familiar quotations from
the aural service.
A certain man*named Guezi purchased
a beautiful girl, declared the witnees.
"Amen" shouted a prisoner, ands chor-
us of amens drowned his voice.
"Purchased her through the Calliorri0
solemnly continued the detective.
"Ora pro nobus (pray for us), "Ora
pro nobus, ore pro nobus," chanted the
pristenera.
So the interrogation proceeded. To
further illuettrate the power of the
Camorra, particularly over certain class-
es of women,he told how Guzzi had
bought Signorita. Litnbardi through the
Comorra, which, however, constantly
blackmailed him thereafter. Hoping to
escape them, lie took the girl to New
York, where he fell into the hands of
American associatea of the Italian crim-
inals and their persecution was contin-
ued. Finally he gave the girl a cheque
for $2,000 and a ticket for her return
from Ne W Yerk to Naples. On arriving
hraplee the witness said the woman
was met by Camorrists, including some
of the defendants, who exaeted from
her a share • of the money which Gaze,
had given her.

IT WAS GRIRO
Witnesses Swear That He
Murdered Tarro.
One Witness Was Near and
Saw the Murder.
Toronto despatch: "This is the man
who shot the Italian at, the corner of
Church and Front streets host Sunday
and escaped through a lane leading to
the Esplanade."
Looking at a police picture of Frank
Griro, now tharged with the murder of
Prank Tarro, Abraham Rerkowitz made
that statement to Ooroner johnsou'e
jury at the morgue last night. This is
the first positive identification of Ceiro
,as the murderer of Tarro that the police
have succeeded m getting.
Berkowite said that he Was only a
few feet from the scene of the mur-
der, walking along the street with bis
wife. The shooting was too much for
hie wife, and she fell in a faint. He
would have given chase, but as his wife
was unable to look after hereelf, he re-
mained with her.
The verdict of the jury was as fol-
lows: "That a certain person, whom
the jurors believe to be Frank Griro,
on the 30th day of July did felooious-
ly, wilfully, and with malice afore-
thought kiR and murder Frank Tarro."
Max Greenberg, wbo keeps a second
hand store at 149 Tozer street, testified
to having sok} a knife to a man whom
he knew as ]?rank Saturday night be-
fore the murder. When shown the pic-
ture of Griro, he positively stated that
he was the man who had made the pur-
chase. The knife in question was found
in the lane through which the murderer
escaped.
Herbert Easta, a conductor.on a Bath-
urst street ear, ea,id that a man boarded
his ear at the corner of John and Front
&trete on Sunday afternoon, shortly af-
ter the morder had been committed. He
displayed a, roll of bills, some of large
denomination. He seemed worried and:on
reaching the corner of Bathurst and
Front streets ;lumped off tbe ear and
ran down to the railway tracks.
The search of the police for the ac-
cused has so far been unsuccessful, but
the detectives feel confident that he will
sopn be apprehended,
