Babe Plays in Court
Tho child who is u beautiful little
Elonde-halred, blue-eycd baby girl,
came into court in n dainty little em-
hroidered gown with coat and cap in
the prettiest of baby styles and played
around the court room as If she knew
no care In the world, while her mother
and father sought for her. For the
greater part Of the time during the
last eighteen months she has been with
her grandmother, and this proba bly
accounts In part for her turning away
from her own mother.
The child munched n cracker with
the highest degree of contentment and
played peek-a-boo with reporter
when the court was not looking.
ON the two occasions when the
grandmother was called to the witness
stand the baby pattered along after
her and sat quietly at her feet while
she gave her testimony.
Several witnesses were produced on
each side to testify to the good OF.

for the child, but none produced evil

Mrs. Agnes Lamb. the grandmother,
was ordered to give bonds for $500 as
a guarantee that the child will be
kept within the jurisdiction of the
court. Permission was given the
mother to see the child alone every

he took the Arrow with him. Knaben-
shue afterward Joined him i'm New
YORK and there they dissolved partner
snip. The Baldwin company secured
possession of the machine. Various
persons tried to ascend i'm the ship, but
could not manage 1t. Finally one young
aeronaut rose to such q height in the
air that the gas bag collapsed and the
rigging forming the parachute rapidly
descended to the ground. The frame
work was SO seriously damaged that 1t
was beyond repair.
The new machine that has been
built by Knabenshue is constructed
much on n line resembling the anatomy
OF fish, for he declares the same
principles that apply under water
apply up in the air, for the body is sub
merged in either case.
May Make but One Ascension
Knabenshue is unwilling to discuss
his plans for future work in Los An
geles and states that he may not make
more than one ascent during the winter
unless he secures an engagement or
enters into competition with some other
navigator. He will make an ascent
shortly after the first of the wear and
then will begin to remodel his ship.
His ship, the "nameless," has been
called by the people of every town
where he has been after the name of
their town. II is built to resemble
huge fish and in appearance is not un-
like the Holland submarine boat. The
gas bag. sixty-two feet in length, which
supports the framework carrying the
motive power, the steering apparatus
and the navigator is cigar shaped, the
forward end being sharply pointed,
while the rear is rounded.
Describes New Ship
The largest diameter is about one
third of the way from the forward end
and measures sixteen feet, whereas the
old Arrow measured seventeen and
half feet. The balloon of the "nameless"
is of the finest Japanese silk and re-
quireS 1000 cubic feet of hydrogen to
initiate it, this being somewhat less than
the quantity necessary for the Arrow,
as the capacity of the latter was 5000.
The weight of the bag is sixty-ive
pounds.
The framework Is thirty-eigh feet in
length and Is crossed and braced with
wood and piano wire. Its weight as
well as the entire apparatus upon it, is
approximately 210 pounds. The pro-
peller has two blades and weighs four
pounds. The usual rate of revolutions
per minute Is 1870, and at this the speed
is estimated at fifteen miles per hour.
The engine which drives the pro-
peller is located about a third of the
length from the forward end and is
supported on two angle iron cross pieces
on the two bottom bars of framework.
The entire weight-engine shaft,
clutch, batteries and tank-is ninety-two
The tank will hold sufficient
gasoline for five-hour sail.
This is Mrs. Knabenshue's first visit
to Los Angeles and II she likes the city
Mr.. and Mrs. Knabenshue will make
their permanent home here.

KNABENSHUE IS
IN Los AN GELES
YOUNG AER0NAUT READY FOR
TRIALS
Daring Sky Yaehtsman Welcomes Idea
of Competitive Tests-Gives De-
scription of His ship--Will
Make Ascension

Los Angeles is the ideal spot Of the
world for aerial navigation. | have
come here to spend the winter and to
experiment.. If / have an offer to ex-
hibit my machine before the people I
will do so in order to make 1t pay its
way while experimenting, but my main
object in coming to Los Angeles is to
make changes in the apparatus which
] believe will bring it nearer to per-
fection.'
This is the statement made by A.
Roy knabenshue. the well-known
aoronaut, to reporter last night. Kna-
benshue returned to Los Angeles yes
terday after a years absence. bringing
with him his wife and baby. He has
just finished a most successful season
of exhibitions and states that he has
been so busy and the people have de-
manded that he should make ascents in
so many places that he has not had
time to make changes and improve
ments which he believes will facilitate
his flying.
Anxious for Competitive Tests
Knabenshue expresses his desire that
an aeronautc concourse be held here
this winter and states that he is willing
to meet any one in the world to test
machines with them. other aerial nav
igatorS also desire that such a meet
ing and test be held and it is not at
all unlikely that Los Angeles people
Will this winter see such races and
ascents as they have never been per-
mitted to witness before.
Kna bcnshue says that the calm, even
tempered climate of Southern Cali
fornia is the best suited for the flight
Of airshps of any cline which he has
visited. 1t is his intention to carry
out the ideas which have been form
ing in mis- mind during his numerous
lights last summer even if it takes
every cent he possesses, and it is un-
derstood that he comes to California
with IL nice balance on the credit side
of the ledger.
The ship which is brought here by
Knabenshue is a new one that was
constructed early this year by his spe-
cial direction. Some of the principles
of the old Arrow have been used in the
new machine.

SMELL
THAT SULPHUR!.
GAS COMPANY IS OBJECT OF
MANY COMPLAINTS
OIL Comes From Salt Lake Fields Near
SawteIIe, Is the Report-Coun-
eli May Adopt New
Standard

'Phew! Smell that gas rangel Just
like sulphur! Wonder where the COM
pany gets the crude oil3 Whittier, they
comes from the Salt Lake oil fields
near Sawtelle, the product from which
has large proportion Of sulphur"
This is what Mr.. Consumer has been
saying for the past few days as the
fumes from the gas stove drove him
and his wife headlong from the kitchen.
While the action of the gas COM
pany in voluntarily reducing the price
OF gas to So cents a thousand feet will
probably preclude any action by the
gas and lighting committee of the
council. IN regulating the price of tho
product thsce is u strong probability
that the committee will adope a stand
ard of sulphur that may be used in
gas. This will be in line with tho ac-
ton of similar committees in nearly
all the eastern cities. and is strongly
urged by consumers OF gas in Los An
geles.
Sulphur Is Plentiful
The maximum of sulphur allowed in
gas in eastern cities is 20 grains to 100
cubic feet, while the reports Of the gas
company on file in the Office of the
city chemist show that the sulphur
in the Los Angeles product frequently
runs as high as so grains to the same
amount.
During the last few days the gas
consumers have been entering vigorous
complaints against the quality of gas
that has oeen forced through the pipes.
The sulphur fumes in some cases have
been so strong that the housewife was
compelled to forego the use of her gas
stove in preparing the meals and re-
sort to the gasoline burner.
1t is asserted that this is due to the
poor quality of oil which the gas com
pany uses in making the finished
product. While the gas company pro-
fesses 10 use the Whittier oil, which is
light and contains but a trace of sui
phur. its contracts are signed with the
Associated Oil company that secures
its oil from the Salt Lake fields. near
Sawtelle. The Salt Lake oil is heavy
with asphaltum and runs from one to
three per cent in sulphur, as shown
by the analysis in the office of the
city chemist. An analysis by the same
official shows that the Whittier oil cor
tains less than one-half per cent sui
phur.
