DUMONT TALKS
ON AIRSHIPS
SAYS THAT THEY WILL OUT
PLACE AUTOS
Is Enthusiastic on Subject Of When
Men viii Navigate Flying
Machines as They Now
Do Automobiles
BY ..ssoclated ! ass.

BY associated ess
PARIS, Nov. 14-Santos Dumont,
since the successful flight of his aero
plane, "the Bird of Prey" talks en-
Enthusiastically Of the early approach of
the day when all mankind will be nav
igating the air and when flying ma
chimes will be more common than
automobiles. Indeed, he thinks that
the flying machine will eventually be-
come the poor mans automobile, be
safer, faster and cheaper"
In an interview last night he said:
THE machine / am experimenting
with is very large, having a surface
of eighty square meters, but the prac-
tical aeroplane, which will be for the
air what the democratica bicycle is
for the earth, will be much smaller.
With ordinary machines it is necessary
to Increase the size in order to in
crease the power With the aeroplane.
on the contrary speed will be increased
in direct proportions to the diminution
of the resistance surface. My present
aeroplane was Intentionally built large
to overcome main obstacles as to prin-
ciples.
But with increased power, which
means speed, the size can be reduced.
At the same time increased speed adds
to the safety, as a powerful motor Is
therefore look forward to a practical
aeroplane which can be comfortably
housed In every home. From the stand
point of maintenance, the cost both of
petroleum and repairs, the aeroplane
will be much less expensive than the
automobile car. There will be no ex-
pensive tires to burst and no bad roads
to jolt them to pieces. There will be
no collisions. Next year people will
40 fn on tn nt
aeroplanes. 1t will become the fad and
the commencement of a new industry"
What of the danger?"
The only danger would be the risk
of a broken rudder and 1 cannot see
that the rudder can break itself. The
aeroplane is mobility itself The swerv-
ing which made my descent on October
81 can easily be rectified by a second
rudder to counteract any tendency in
that direction. The practical while the
matter remains in the experimental
stage would of course be how to con-
troll the supplementary rudders while
the hands are otherwise engaged My
is to attach the yoke ropes
to my neck and maintain the equili-
briun by the instructive movement of
the head. Later this primitive ar
will be replaced by an auto
matte mercurial apparatus
When the first automobile was in
troduced the man in the street treated
those who had the temerity to operate
them as mad men, never anticipating
the day when the fashionable thor
oughfares of every big city would be
crowded with automobiles filled with
nurses and newly born children. Men
will drive aeroplanes as they now
drive automobiles. There will be a
short apprenticeship but that can be
done on terra firma. In brief, the day
is not far distant when the aeroplane,
as means of locomotion, will replace
in the air the bicycle on the earth.'

NEARY DOES NOT
WANT ANY MORE
BURNS VICTORY PROVES GREAT
SURPRISE
Manager Tommy Burns Is Willing to
Back His Protege for a Battle
With Any Heavyweight,
Barring Cans

Aftermath of the Burns-Neary battle
was much like that which follows a
Kansas cyclone. 1t came and went"
with such sudden and unlocked for
swiftness that boxing followers were
still wondering yesterday morning how
IT. happened. That Burns whipped
Neary decisively and quickly there was
no gainsaying, but that Neary is down
and out is another question.
Without detracting from Burns great
victory, consensus of opinion is that
Neary might in another battle at least
give a better account of himself. 1t is
difficult to believe that a man of
Neary's reputation should have gone
down so suddenly without at least an
element of luck entering into the af-
fair. Burns knockout blows were clear
cut and delivered with great precision,
but Neary must have been taken by
complete surprise, as have other top
notchers.
That Neary could win from Burns
under any circumstances Is hardly pos
sible, as the latter evidenced not only
great speed but a punch which must be
considered every time he enters the ring
in the future.
Neary and his manager Eddie Toy,
are not asking for a return match, at
least for the present, and will leave to-
day for Milwaukee, where a brief rest
will be taken before Neary starts to
complete set of dates which has been
arranged for him in the vicinity of
Boston.
With Neary possessing a victory over
Herrera and Kid Herman, local fol-
lowers are beginning to wonder If some
more championship form is about to
distinguish Los Angeles as a boxing
center.
Tommy Burns, who brought his pro-
tege to Los Angeles, must be given
credit for great foresight, Tommy al
ways held that Jimmy would defeat
Neary easily, but there were few who
agreed with him. Tommy now offers to
wager goodly amount that Jimmy can
beat any lightweight in the world, bar
ring Joe Cans. Here is a chance for
some of the wall flowers to step In and
add to their coin stacks.

HORSE MEN ARE
NOT OPTIMISTIC
ANNEXATION ELECTION CASTS
GLOOM
George Rose Leaves for the North
to Witness the Opening at
meryVIle-Horses
Work Out

The all-absorbing topic around Ascot
yesterday was the annexation election
of last Monlay. Several horsemen
have hopes for the future of the racing
game but others are not so optimistic.
In an interview yesterday George
Rose had the following to say regard
ing Ascot:
The result of last Mondays election
came like a clap of thunder from a
| clear sky, and L am utterly unpre-
pared to say anything other than hope
the public will understand the position
we are in. We underwent large ex-
penditure in giving this great city a
place of amusement during the winter
months, knowing that thousands of
visitors come here every year that en-
joy good racing sport.
1T certainly would be hard on most
of the horSemen If racing couldn't go
on this season. 1 have solicited some
of the best horses in the east to race
at Ascot the coming season, and do
trust that the public in general will
look at the matter reasonably and let
the racing go on this season.
mot so much from a monetary point
of view, but personal love and pride
that l have for Los Angeles made me
assist in building one of the most
beautiful race courses in the country"
! Mr. Rose left yesterday afternoon
for San Francisco to attend the OPEN
! ing days races at Oakland, and will
return next Wednesday to Los Angeles
4 j. F. Newman arrived yesterday with
eleven racers, including three we'll
known campaigners that raced here
last season, Don Domo the gray ghost,
Rubinon and Josies Jewel. Domo had
hard season, but Notwithstanding
| appears to be in fine shape. josie $
/ Jewel looks good and Rubinon appears
| to be in tiptop shape. Newcomers in
the string, all of which are two-year-
olds. are: Brainy Bowers Ruger Red,
Reno, Repel, Swagger, Later, Miss
Ruth, Check and Nellie Nixon.
Jockey Preston also arrived with the
Newman horses and will do the riding
for the stable the coming season.
Lou Bonsack had his beautiful Ben
Brush filly, Pantoufel, out for a
breather yesterday, and she looks to
be the race mare of which so much
has been said. Bonsack gave $1,000 for
her at the j. r. Keene sale a few
weeks ago, and it's the opinion of
I horsemen that he received his moneys
worth.
R. H. Harris worked w. H. Carey a
mile yesterday easily making the
journey in 1:4S. AS he has grown a
great deal during the past season
Carey will be hard horse to beat this
! winter.
! Elizabeth f Is another that will fool
| the Ascot racing public this season,
having also improved a great deal.
| May L. N. worked five -eighths easily
in 1907.
Pequet went three-eights in 3S.

JEFFR|Es MAY
Be THIRD MAN
is ASKED TO Referee O'BRIEN
AND BURNS MATCH
McCarey Has Not Secured the Con-
sent of Late Champion, Though
He Appears Certain Jim
Will Officiate

Jim Jeffries has not said that he will
referee the O'Brien- Burns battle, but
Manager McCarey appears certain that
his huskiness will be third man in the
ring when those two notables climb
between the ropes.
Astute in his managerial operations,
McCarey has long had his weather eye
on the Jeffries farm with an idea of
securing Jim as referee. Whether
Jeffries will consent depends to a great
extent upon his friendship for Nc
Carey No end of coin would be forth
coming should the big fellow consent
to referee one of the San Francisco
bouts, but there is nothing doing in
that line. Jim does not crave for no.
torety, neither does he need the money
which might be gained from acting as
third man.
With McCarey to the fore, however,
the proposition presents a different
significance. Tuesday evening Nc
Carey endeavored to gain Jeffries' con-
sent but the champion was in jovial
mood and merely laughed as Mac tried
to talk to him.
O'Brien and Burns would both be
tickled to death should Jeffries volun-
teer to officiate. Needless to say
O'Brien, Burns and McCarey realize
what the champions appearance would
involve, so far as the pictures are con-
cerned. 1t is safe to say that the films
would be of more lasting value should
Jeff be shadowed on the roll
Jeffries retirement from the ring has
gained him as much fame as his career
between the ropes. This situation
arises from the fact that no one has
come to the front with sufficient class
to warrant a comparison with the
champion. AS result his appearance
in the pictures would add unusual in
terest, whatever the eminence of
O'Brien and Burns.

IS SENTENCED
ON TEST CASE
COURT SAYS BOOKMAKING Is
ILLEGAL
William Davis, Who Volunteered as
Defendant, to Try Law Prohibit
ing Betting at Bennines,
Is imprisoned
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. - Book
making as it has been carried on at
Bennings race track was today de-
clared illegal and William Davis, who
volunteered himself defendant to test
the law, was declared guilty and SEN
fenced in criminal court today to
imprisonment for two hours.
The cause turned on the construc-
tion of the law prohibiting setting up
a gaming table" in the district of CO.
lumbia, the defense having admitted
that the paraphernalia of a book
maker consisted of stools and a cash
box, and that a definite location was
assigned TO each bookmaker in the
betting ring.
An appeal was at once taken to the
court of appeals. Pending the appeal
sentence will not be executed on Davis.
The trial has been a matter of great
interest to the racing world, in view
of the fall meeting of the Washington
Jockey club, to begin next Friday Just
how far reaching the decision is re-
garded by the club was indicated in
the following statement given out for
publication tonight by S. T. Walton,
secretary of the club:
"The meeting of the Washington
Jockey club, scheduled to commence
on Friday next, will be carried through
according to program. While book
making has by the decision of the
court had been declared illegal, bet
ting between individuals is not a
punishable offense. The Washing
ton Jockey club will strictly carry
out the courts decision in the matter
pending the settlement of the question
on final appeal"
Secretary Walton added that certain
kinds Of betting had been carried on
upon the grounds of the club since 1899
upon authority of a decision of Judge
Bradley of the supreme court of the dis
trict. The decision today only went into
the manner Of betting heretofore pre-
vailing.
1t was held to be no offense, he added,
for a person to make bets; that for this
purpose he might have a sheet or pro-
gram and even a number in his hat,
although he might not have a fixed
place assigned him in which to do
business.

CORONADO DOES
A SPEEDY MILE

Sensational workouts were the rule
at Agricultural park yesterday morn
ing. The fastest miles made on the
local tracks in many months were reeled
off by the, speedy trotters and PAGERS
which will appear In the raj es next
week.
William Durfee, who recently refused
an offer of $4,000 for his grand little
rrotter, Coronado, had previously an
nounced that he would give the horse a
fast workout yesterday. He kept his
word. Paced by runne- hitched to a
cart the first mile started, and when the
trotter flashed past the judges stand
the watches snapped at 2:09%, one of
the fastest miles of the year for a
trotter in California.
The second mile was made i'm 2.10
and the third In 2:101R. This was by far
the best workout OF the year, and the
crowd which had gathered for the trial
gave Durfee and his crack a hearty
cheer.
Coronado was never better and should
give a great performance in the 2;O9
trot next week.
But the great trotting of Coronado
was not the onl'' feature of the morn
ing.
Coupa de ORC, 4-year-old stallion by
Nutwood Wilkes, went a mile In 2:O9,
but the sensational part of his perform
ance was the first half. The men who
snapped the time could hardly believe
their eyes. Such good horsemen as Bob
Smith caught the half in :59A, while
not one watch had the half slower than
one minute.
Jones Carlokin also stepped a fast
circuit in 2:1lA.

ing that pool selling must come to an
end at Ascot and Manager Brooks con-
tldent that at least another season will
ensue the local track situation is anv-
thing but certain. George Rose. whose
connection with the Los Angeles Jock
ey club has always been supposed to
oS VI poWerIul nature, Is not OptimiS-
Tic, but says that he believes consid-
GRAFTON will be shown by the authori-
ties in view of the financial outlay
which has featured preparation for the
coming year.
Attorney Mathews says that so soon
as the annexation has become q reality
Ascot will necessarily come under city
regulations as regards pool selling and
consequently pony racing must come to
an end.
George Rose held consultation yes
terday morning with directors and
stockholders of the Jockey club and
the fact that nothing was determined as
regarded heroic steps to avert the
trend of affairs makes it appear evil
dent that Ascot management is now
relying upon municipal generosity to
assist in saving thousands of dollars
which have been expended in expecta-
tion of the scheduled winter meet.
Owing to the fact that preparations
were commenced before adverse action
had been taken the turf management
is living in the hope that favorable
sentiment may govern municipal oper-
ations as regards the Ascot situation.
Had the annexation election been
held with pool selling as a principal
issue there would be strong reason to
believe that racing would be closed so
soon as Ascot was officially declared
to be within the city limits.
