Mr. I rtrdy, the plucky Canadian aviator who failed tn His attempt to fly here from Key West after completing 100 miles of the 110 mile trip, was the feature of the aviation tournament here today. , The interest in the young birdmun - was --Intensified When the re port became current that McCurdy might make an attempt to fly back to the I'nited States, starting from Camp Columbia and landing at Key West Negotiations were commenced today to try to persuade Mr. McCurdy to con sent to the trip although he did not give, a definite answer.. -..'.- The accident yesterday was entirely unavoidable," declared the aviator to day. "And it only increases my desire to effect a successful conquest of the Florldan Straights. Flying over a wide exnanse of water Ih much mort, ev- hilarating than flying over land. It gives a glorious sensation of mighty I distances and the vnstness tif space. At. first l tlirt not like it but a desire for it has grown. Indeed, I am afraid it may become a habit. I do not know when I shall be able to make another attempt but I have the fullest confi dence In both myself and my Curtiss biplane and am sure of success. "Flying over water is safer than flying over land. The surface be neath Is 'flat ; which', causes ail ab sence of air pockets and In alighting there the danger is ' much lessened. The dangerous pockets are caused by buildings and other obstructions break ing the course of the wind and caus ing cross currents. The atmosphere over the water is usually not so af fected." ' When McCurdy appeared upon the aviation field today he was given a mighty ovation. Smilingly he raised his j hand to the enthusiastic Cubans who cheered him for fully ten minutes.

Secret service men raided headquart ers of the opium gang in Mott street today and secured a number of docu ments written in Chinese which arc now in the hands of Interpreters. The authorities expect to secure im portant Information. The government agents have been baffled over the past history of Boston although they know that his Chineso name is Leon Quon Jung.
