AERO CLUB MEN BACK.
Say st. Louis Is Ideal Place for
Balloon Race I'M October.

Cortlandt Field Bishop and the other men,
bers Of the Aero Club committee who picked
ST. Louis for the starting place of the race for
the Bennett Aeronautical Cup. got back to town
yesterday. When the race starts under the full
October moon there will be at least fourteen big
balloons ready for the flight, and perhaps more.
The first full moon IN October is the 10Th.
and the race will not be held until that date.
The first week in the month of October is the
big festival of the Mound City, that of the
Yelled Prophet. and the business mems leagues
which are behind the festival probably will post
pone It for couple of weeks that the balloon
race may be a feature Of the carnival.
I'VE could not start before the 10TH" said Mr..
Bishop I'VE dare not start without moonlight;
it is too dangerous The Ideal wind would be
one which would carry north of west and
take us into New England. We can easily bea t
de la Vaulx's record of 1900 miles and still
stay in our own country.
I'm the race last year there were ten clubs in
the international federation represented and
there Will be greater number this year. The
entry list to have closed February l. but

European aeronauts to need considerable

minutes. Although this balloon has a capacity
Of only $4,000 cubic feet, the gas plant at Pitts

ST. Louis business men enthusiastic, OF
them, James f. Smith. going so far as TO say
that the race would attract from 100000 TO
100000 persons more than the fair attracted on
any one day. An club has been formed
Of which L. D. Dozier is president. The Iacleds
Gas Company, to encourage those who wish to
make practice flights from st. Louis before the
start Of the big race, Will give them gas at cost
If properly accredited by the Aero Club Of
America. The ST. Louis committee has prom
ised to initiate the contesting balloons free. The
committee will petition Congress 10 station the
army balloon corps at the Jefferson Barracks.

One Used by Fire Department at the
Garden EgMbit.

The basement of Madison Square Garden will
be occupied with commercial vehicles and ac-
cessories at the coming automobile show
There have been some interesting develop
ments in motor wagons IN the year which will
be shown for the first time and as the late ap-
plicants were assigned TO the basement a num-
ber Of novelties in the accessory line will be
found there. An exhibit certain 10 be OF gen
eral interest Is motor fire wagon that was
built by the Knox concern for the Springfield
(Mass) Fire Department where IT has almost
revoutionized the work OF the fire fighters. The
motor wagon carries eight men. hose. chemical
tanks axes, etc. and by placing it at a central
station an increase in the number OF men EN-
ployed by the department was obviated The
fire wagon, which has four-cylinder. air cooled
motor Of forty horsepower, similar to that in the
new Knox touring car, responds TO alarms SO
quickly that many fires extngushed in
their incipiency. The machine has answered
every alarm in Springfield for more than three
months and is a forcible illustration OF one of
the uses which the automobile is bound to fill
The commercial vehicle end of the Industry

went on the stand yesterday in the United
States Circuit Court before Judge Hough, at the
trial of the MacAndrews & Forbes Company and
the ]. s. Young Company and their presidents.
who charged with violating the Sherman
Antitrust law in an attempt to monopolize the
sale Of Hcorice paste in this country. The
greater part of the day taken UP with the
arguments of John D. Lindsay and Ernest z.
Baldwin. representing the defendants. and Mr..
Taft the special Attorney General. The defence
first moved that Judge Hough order the govern
neut to elect which os the counts of the indict-
ment 1t proposed to rest It's case upon. One
count charged the defendants with effecting
combination another that il had entered into
a conspiracy and third that the defendants
had attempted to "monopolize the paste in
dustry.'
The LAWYERS argued the points involved. which
resulted In Judge Hough sustaining the conten-
tions OF Mr.. Taft. and the case will go TO the
Jury on all three of the counts specified in the
indictment At this point Messrs. Taft and
Levy for the prosecution. after consultation.
rested their side of the case,
Before Mr.. Duke put on the stand Junius
Parker OF the defendants counsel in his open
ing address. declared that the companies
trial were practically controlled by the Cont-
mental Tobacco Company. When Mr. Duke took
the stand, being called by the defence. he ad-
mItted that this company owned 30 per cent OF
the stock of the AIacAndrewS * Forbes Com
pany.
Were you much in the office OF the MacAn-
drews Forbes Company?" he was asked.
II never there. If they had any business
they came me- he replied. Mr.. Duke then
explained that Karl Jungbluth. president of the
MacAndrews- Forbes Company, managed the
business. He said he knew a practical manu-
facturer that icorlce root paste neces-
sary. and recalled suggesting TO Mr.. Jungbluth
in London that they had better increase their
usual root supply. He knew. he said, they had
considerable difficulty In obtaining root.
Mr.. Jungbluth objected to raising the price of
paste. Mr.. Duke said he wanted the price raised.
why did Mr. Jungbuth object to the increase
of the price?' asked Mr. Taft
He thought had better supply the indie
pendent dealers a low price. they wouldn't

therefore interfere with own root supply"
the reply.
Mr.. Duke said they bought out Young and
Lewis to get control OF their root supply
You wanted to keep every one else out of
the business?" he was asked
lit was matter of supreme Indifference to
me whether sold the independent dealers or
not" said Mr.. Duke.
Mr.. Taft pressed Mr.. Duke 10 admit that
their purchase of the minor licorice concerns
had been to keep others out of the paste in
dustry in America but Mr. Duke Insisted their
only reason In wanting TO keen others from
going into the business to prevent the fore
ing of the price of the raw material mn 10 an
unreasonable figure.

AGAINST, STANDARD OIL.
,Judge Landis OUerrules Demurrer
an Chicago Indictments.

Chicago Jan. 3.-Judge Lands, in the United
States District Court, to-day overruled the de-
rnurrer of the Standard Oil Company to eight
indictments pending against that corporation
but sustained the demurrer as TO two other IN
dictments because of technical defects.
The court ruled against the defendants con-
tention that the Elkins law was enacted really
to prohibit the employment Of indirect methods
to obtain preferential rates; against the defend
ants claim that the provision of the Elkins
law requiring shippers to adhere to a published
rate was void as being against that provision
of the Interstate Commerce law; against the de-
PENDANTS contention that the indictments were
bad because the Interstate Commerce law did
not require railway companies to publish rates
between points beyond the carriers lines OF
road. and against the defendants contention
that the provision OF the Interstate Commerce
law requiring carriers to publish terminal
charges was not operative upon consignees'
