AIR SHIP N SAN FRANCISCO
DIR. AUGUST oRETH TAKES a
SAIL OVER THE CITY.
IL is Believed In Many Essentials He
Has Solved the Problem Of Aerial
NaVigation-Is Cigar shaped-yyIII
Lift 1000 Pounds and Weighs 600
Pounds.

San Francisco. Oct. 1s.-Dr. August
Greth, who for year past has been
unostentatiousIy working on an air
ship. recently surprised the residents
Of San Francisco by sailing over their
heads for two hours. directing his ma
chine almost at will and demonstrate
ing that In many essentials he has
solved the problem OF aerial nayiga-
ton. DR.. Greth had previously tested
his airship by making ascensions with
the balloon held captive by a long
rope. but this was the first time that
he had gone skyward free.
His ascension was made from a lot
almost in the heart Of the city. and
DIR. Greth attempted 70 encircle a tow.
ering newspaper building about a mile
eastward. but found the high currents
too strong for his power. and then
turned In an opposite direction Trade
winds carried him oceanward, and for
time he lowered over the vicinity
Of the Golden Gate, making various
successful trials Of his steering gear.
The currents threatened to take him
out over the Pacific. and he decided
TO make q landing on the parade
ground Of the Preside military reser-
walton. but made the mistake of letting
out too much gas, and he landed in
the bay about 200 feet from shore. A
crew OF the life saving station rescued
him and his flying machine. which
sustained very little damage by the
unfortunate termination Of the Voy-
age.
Like santos-Dumonts.
The balloon Of Greth's aerial contri-
vance is cigar shaped and has a capa-
city Of $4,000 feet OF gas. with a lift
ing capacity OF 1900 TO 1000 pounds.
The car beneath the balloon is SINH.
lar in construction to that used by
Santos-Dumont. and weighs about 500
pounds.
The engine is a IL horse power gaso-
line motor, and the total weight car
ried skyward. including that Of the in.
ventor and 200 pounds Of ballast, was
about 400 pounds. For some reason
the motor would not develop more
than six horse power, and DR.. Greth
consequently found dificulty In max
ing Roadway against the currents.
He expects 10 make another ascen-
sion in a few days. when he win have
repaired the minor damage caused by
the salt water bath and remedied the
minor defect brought out by his two
hours cruise in cloudland.

Minority Report on Antitrust Bill.

Following is the minority report
submitted in the senate from four
members of the judiciary committee
on the King antitrust bill:
Mr.. President-The undersigned
members of the judiciary committee of
the senate beg leave to state that they
cannot consent TO the report Of the ma
iority OF the committee on senate bill
No. l. by King, for the following rea-
sons:
First Because the national demo-
cratic party in its last two platforms
has declared against all kinds of trusts,
pools and combines, wherever formed
or organized.
Second because the democratic par
" Of Arkansas, in convention assem-
blcd. by n plank In its platform, in
June. 1902, unanimously demanded US
to pass the same kind of an antitrust
bill as senate bill No. l, by King.
Third because the amendments pro-
poscd 10y the majority of the commit
tee discriminate in favor of one trust
or combine.
Fourth Because we do not believe s
pcr cent Of the democrats Of the state
demand or want this antitrust bill
changed or amended.
Fifth-RCcduse We believe the DEM
ocratic party il entitled to more respect
than some foreign corporation or COM
biuation, and do not believe that the
general assembly OF this state should
bc forced by the insurance companies
and their satellites to extend to them
the privilege of remaining in the state.
and by a fixed system of rates to con-
tinue TO plumber and rob her citizens TO
the exclusion OF other combinations
Sixth-Bccausc we do not want TO as
sumo the position on this antitrust
bill after it has been discussed over the
entire state for four years that we
know more than the democratic party
Of this state and nation.
We respectfully ask that this, the re-
port Of the minority be adopted, and
that the majority report be rejected
and the bill pass without amendment
