CIRCLES IN THE AIR
BaIdwln's Machine Behaves
Perfectly Above Vast
Throng

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan 30 - Roy
Knabenshue, the aeronaut, made sue
cessful flight in Capt. Baldwin's air.
ship, the California Arrow" this aft
ernoon at Chute's park. Knabenshue
was in flight about forty-five minutes,
during which time he circled within
radius Of about a mile of the park,
skirting to the south, returning finally
and landing within the enclosure of the
baseball grounds from which he had
started. The weather was perfect for
the experiment, with just the faintest
suspicion Of southwest breeze blow
ing. The streets for blocks distant
from the park were black with people
gathered to watch the flight. At 3:25
the airship rose gracefully from it's
anchorage and scared away to the
northeast for half mile, gradually
rising as it gathered speed
Answers to Rudder
When about 700 feet high Knaben-
shue began his maneuvers, turning the
Craft in every direction, describing
complete circles within a small radius,
crossing and recrosSing the park above
the heads of the thousands of specta-
tors.
Capt. Baldwin had fitted the Arrow
with a new and more powerful motor
and today this important part of the
mechanism worked to perfection. The
new motor gave great impetus to the
propeller and this. apparently, made
the big balloon much easier to handle.
1t responded readily to every turn of
the steering gear and was driven in
every direction at sharp angles as the
aeronaut desired.
At no time did the ship rise to a
height of more than 1,500 feet and the
manipulation of the mechanism of the
airship by the operator was plainly Wis
ible to the spectators below.
Lowered to Ground
Knabenshue finally brought sThe Ar
row. back to the original starting
point, dropping the anchorage rope,
which hung from the frame work of
the airship within fifty yards from
where he arose. When the rope touch
ed the EARTH the aeronaut stopped the
motor and the gas bag was gently low
cred to the ground. The big crowd
broke into cheers as KnabenShue ali ght-
ed from the airship.
When seen by the Associated Press
representative, Mr.. KnabenShue said:
i think / demonstrated today that
with a perfect working motor as
now think we have, the Arrow can be
contrOlleds as easily as one man can
control an automobile. I found no diff
| ficulty in bringing the airship to the
starting place and landing where.I de-
sired. The atmospheric conditions were
perfect for the experiment and Capt.
Baldwin as well as myself is eiated
over the success Of the flight"

A FARCE
A Stock Company HOOted off
The Stage.
WANTED TO PLAY HERE A WEEK-wERE NOT
ALLOWED TO FINISH FIRST PERFORMANCE.

What was intended 10 be n tragedy
turned out To he comedy at the Opera
House Monday night. A stock company,
almost unheralded, opened here Tor
week with a play called "The Embassy
Ball" The ball turned into almost a
riot before the night was over. Words
are inadequate To describe the awful act
ING OF this company of sO-called players
and the audience. soon after the play he
gan. commenced To resent the farce To
which they were being treated. Mlld
boots, ners and eat calls greeted the
players az they continued to make their
entrance ON the stage. Ladies leit the
house until only afe few remained, and then
bedbm broke loose. Officer Tansill
stood in the center of bowling mass OF
men and boys absolutely unable To DO
anything. Decayed apples and potatoes
came into evidence and the play was
brought To an abrupt end at 9:2O. The
finale was vet To come, however. III
stead of going home, the crowd, number
ing perhaps 125 men and boys, hung
around the Opera House for more than
an hour waiting for the players To make
their exit. 4 cry would ring out every
u
few minutes of "here they come, and at
once there would he mad break To-
wards the doors of the Opera House.
Finally one woman emerged alone.
She passed through the crowd absolute
w unmolested. They We're after the men.
After long wait some one finally led
the male members of the company
through back alley, where, after climb
ing a fence, they found themselv yes on
Sophia street. From there they at
tempted to reach their boarding place OH
Commerce st. without being discovered,
but the small boys betrayed their pres
ence. and the crowd started in a Wild
pursuit, yelling and cheering. They
came across the men near the Bridge
water Mills office, and assailed them
with a shower of potatoes and other
vegetables. The men finally ran the
blockade and escaped to the shelter OF
their rooms. The rest Of their engage
ment is cancelled, and it is sale to say
that such n company will never visit tins
city again. 1t is fraud on the public
for such a set to masquerade rs actors,
and many think they received their Just
| deserts.
