Christian Endeavorers Compete With

We are going to get it and don't you fret!

This yell, which was adopted by the
California delegation to the National
Christian Endeavor convention in Phil
adelphia, was greeted everywhere with
hearty cheers and words of praise for
Los Angeles.
e. C. Lyon, the delegate from Los
Angeles, who worked valiantly to Sc
cure the convention in 1907, returned
yesterday and reports much enthusi-
asm. The place of the next convention
will be decided at the midwinter meet

"If it had been left to a popular

MAN ANGEL FLIES;
OWNER JUB|LANT
REYNOLDS MACHINE TRIED IN
FIESTA PARK
CARRYING POWER is SMALL
Inventor Believes That People May
Soon Fly as an Ordinary,
Cheap and Pleasant
Recreation

Before an audience Of dozen people
at Fiesta park last night Alvah Rey-
nolds' Man-Angel claimed by him to
have solved the problem Of aerial navi-
cation, coursed up and down the small
inclosure entirely at the will of its
navigator, Herbert Burke, young
man from Paterson, N. J.
1t was advertised that young
woman would make the ascent, but
when the time came 1t was feared that
she was not yet proficient with the oars
by which the machine is propelled,
and Burke was given the task After
he had attained an altitude of thirty
or forty feet the young man directed
his course in circle above the park
at speed of about eight miles an
hour.
The Man-Angel consists of cigar
shaped gas bag thirty-fve feet long
and fifteen feet at it's largest diameter,
below which is suspended a slender
frame of spruce wood reinforced by
piano wires. The means of locomotion
are two large fans used as oars, by
which the flight and up and down mo-
tion of the machine are directed.
The night was still; otherwise, as
not have been a success. In a strong
wind management of the Man-Angel
would be impossible.
Light Carrying Power
The carrying capacity of the machine
was barely enough to lift 1t from the
ground when Burke had taken his
seat, so that the height which the
Man-Angel attained was due to Burke's
downward turn of his oars. Reynolds
attached a rope to the framework of
his invention for fear it would be
driven from it's path by the wind, and
followed the course of Burke.
II can build my machine for $780,"
said Reynolds last night. 81 have been
carpenter in Los Angeles for thirty
years, the last twelve months of which
have been confined to making improve
ments on my invention. l have not
been at it long, but 1 believe I have
solved many problems of aerial navi-
cation. The Man-Angel could not be
used in strong wind.
81 expect to manufacture the ma
chine and to place it upon the market.
How soon I do not know. 1 am now
working on several Improvements.
When it is manufactured for the mar
ket the price will be within the reach
of almost every one. 1t is looking too
far into the future to say that the sport
of rowing a Man-Angel win some day
become popular"
Reynolds will give nightly exhibitions
of his machine for the next month at
Fiesta park. An aerodrome has been
erected and he spends his entire time
there in making experiments.

This is the first pleasant day 1 have

Los Angeles is all right. We are
hustlers. The societies here received
three banners and showed an average
above that of other states. The eli

close, when the English musical 9lead-

people in singing God Save the King"
which was followed. by the American
leader, with a British flag, singing

M'ALEER is CHALLENGED
|. 3. DockweiIer Says Mayor Is Victim
of Women's WiIes

Library Director Isadore B. Dock
weller made the following statement to
The Herald last night, in which he
challenges Mayor McAleer:
"The mayors notice of removal was
not unexpected, Nothing more could
have been looked for from him after
the important disclosures of the library
board on Thursday last respecting the
mayors part in the removal of Miss
Jones and the we'll known fact that
Owen McAleer is not possessed of a
heart big enough or a mind intelligent
enough TO admit his mistake in aban-
doning the board as he did and calling
for an investigation, which, with him
as its presiding Judge, because of his
previous connection with the case,
must have developed into a farce.
"Mr. McAleer states that he made
some personal Investigations into the
charges alleged as the ground for Miss
Jones removal, and that he is satisfied
that the facts do not Justify those
charges Mr. McAleer has suddenly
and during only the last week or so
reversed himself because a short time
ago he declared to a number of persons
that he had arrived at conclusions the
very opposite to his present summary.
when therefore did the mayor tell
the truth about his convictions? He
states that his knowledge of library
affairs was purely 'hearsay' and there
fore not admissible upon any issue
properly involved in the inquiry The

vestigation 1 could only have stated
what members of tie board had repre-
sented to me to be the grounds of their
action, my testimony would have been
purely hearsay and therefore not ad
missible upon any issue properly in
volved in the inquiry.
Under all the circumstances of the
case am convinced that the four mem
bers of the library board who have
made these charges are themselves re-
sponsible for the trouble in which the
library now is involved, and that the
welfare of that department requires that
they should no longer be entrusted with
Its management.
For the good Of the public service III
the library department, and in COM
pliance with what 1 believe to be a
general public demand, 1 hereby remove
from the Office of member of the board
of directors of the public library l.. z.
Dockweiler, j. w. Trueworthy, E. C.
Wright and S. G. Marshutz. Respect
full submitted,
"OWEN McALEER, Mayor"
Council Must Act
When questioned L, regarding the
mayors action, the library directors
all answered.: What do we think of
it? Well, the mayor could do nothing
else, he had to try to remove US, but
wait, the council has not acted YETI
The members feel confident that the
majority of the people of the city are
behind them and declare that every
day both men and women state to
them that their action is heartily ap-
proved. They also believe that the
councilmen take a, broadminded view
selves to be Influenced by any agita-
ton that may arise.
1t was in the business conduct of the
library that the members of the board
say they found Miss Jones wanting
more than in any other particular and
within the last month a new system of
purchasing has been established. A
director said yesterday that few
months ago it was discovered by the
board that material was still being pur-
chased from firms whose contracts ex-
pired in 1901, four years ago, and that
the entire trade of the library was
still going to these firms without new
and competitive prices being obtained.
Trust to Librarian
The directors are all busy men and
must of necessity trust to the librarian
to a very large degree for the busi-
ness conduct of the library and as one
director put 1t yesterday, when | hire
business manager 1 expect him to
run the business, and that i will not
have to attend to all the details my
self"
When discussing the proposition yes
terday, Director S. G. Marshutz said
that after he assumed his duties on
the board he found that 1t required
more time than he could spare, and
he at that time went to Mayor McAleer
and told the chief executive that after
six months or so he would resign. II
wanted to show my appreciation of the
honor conferred upon me, but could not
spare the time, and so determined to
resign after proper term of service,
II still intend to do this, but not
until after this trouble is all over"
said Director Marshutz. and then made
the following statement regarding his
position;
THE. board is a unit on this question.

a brief time, at least. When it became
known yesterday afternoon that the

we were misled by the mayor, who led
us to believe until the last moment
that he would support the board, since
he was a party to the appointment of
Mr.. Lummis and is equally, and in my
opinion even more, responsible than
board for what has transpired OF
course there was a temptation, for
Mayor McAleer to attempt to remove
us after our truthful exposure on
Thursday last that he was cooper
ating with us right along. He is now
trying to abuse his power by playing
even, as children would say. His ex-
cuse that it was all 'hearsay' is very
week. The responsibility rests that
much heavier on his honor. If he con-
ducts the city government so loosely
that he approves of important changes
on 'hearsay' only, what can the people
expect of his administration? But some
very essential points in this matter
were not hearsay, and we will prove
such to be so if we get the opportunity
before any proper authority.
II believe personally that / have a
deeper right than even my colleagues
on the board to feel offended and out
ragged at the mayors action. Permit
ME to state, that 1 never sought the
appointment on this or any other
board. The mayor will not deny this.

accept in order to avoid any wrong
impression of prejudice which might
go abroad because he refused to re-
appoint DR.. S, Hecht, although 1 used
my very best efforts to have him do
so. After l had accepted 1t 1 de-
termined to do my duty. AS a part
OF such duty felt / had to report ia
the mayor regularly what was happen
ing in the library, and the other di-
rectors have done likewise in such i'm
portant affairs as the election of Mr..
Lummis.
Says Mayor Approved
THE mayor approved of every step
taken in that direction If Mayor Nc
Aleer had told me that he did not
approve of it does any sane person
think that would have acted contrary
to his Wishes knowing we'll that the
charter gives him the power to re-
move me II l should not act in ac-
cordance with his policy? The other
directors on the board acted likewise
and for like reason. Therefore, If we
are guilty the mayor is also guilty,
and the council would have to remove
us and Mayor McAleer.
Even if Mayor McAleer does not
now, at this late hour approve of our
action l am confident that the great
mass of the people. men and women
who look into this question, fair-
minded and unprejudiced, are with the
board. draw this conclusion from the
hundreds of congratulations which 1
and the other board members have re-
ceived since last Thursday from men
and women of this city, all of whom
are particular to state that they ap-
prove of the boards action"
