EAGER TO MAKE
ANOTHER FLIGHT
AVIATOR WISHES TO TRY TRIP
OF 1000 MILES
SAYS HYDROGEN GAS WILL AS.
SURE LONG VOYAGE
Captain Mueller Believes Los Angeles
Will Become Center of Aeronautlcs
Because of city's Excellent
Conditions

Captain Augusta E. Mueller, who,
November %, went from Chutes park
to the Colorado Indian reservation in
Arizona in about five hours with the
balloon UNITED States" returned yes
terday morning to Los Angeles eager to
fill the balloon with hydrogen gas for
q trip of at least 1000 miles.
1T can be DONE" he said. at am
certain of that. If we had filled the
envelope with hydrogen gas we could
have gone at least to the Gulf of Mex
leo, l feel confident, and no telling how
much farther. The illuminating gas,
of course, condensed very rapidly, and
we could not have kept up longer.
THE fact is very clear to me as a
result of the two experiences that Los
Angeles has excellent conditions for
ballooning. 1t is a remarkable sight,
the desert, as you go over it-a Won
derful thing to see. Los Angeles ulti-
mately will become the greatest CEN
ter in the world for aeronautics with
this climate, the chances for a long
trip, in which nothing else in the world
equals ii. and the opportunities for
experimental work, all the year round.
1T was hard getting back, in some
respects. The balloon landed midway
between Parker, on the Santa Fe, and
Yuma, on the Southern Pacific. [
should have come back by way of
Yuma,s but went instead to the Santa
Fe, which was the long way around.
1t was more expensive, too, for over
there they suck up money like a sponge
does water. But these things are
learned in the first trips.
Captain Mueller had what the aver
age traveller would call hard trip,
but, being an aeronaut, he made light
of his experience. He was compelled
to make landing between river and
mountains from a height of about three
miles, which he did successfully. The
balloon, he says, is in excellent condi-
ton and not injured. The job of trans
porting it to the railroad station called
for considerable ingenuity, as the load
was all the driver cared to undertake.
The proposition of making another
trial of long distance flight will be
taken up this week. Dick Ferris has
agreed to donate the balloons and
equipment if others will stand the cost
of Initiation. The suggestion has been
made by number interested in the
advertising value of such a flight 10
Los Angeles that a public meeting be
called to discuss the matter.

SAYS MAN THROUGH
FAITH GAINS POWER
REV. HORACE DAY EXPLAINS
"ENERGIES OF MAN"
Believes Mortal by Guiding His Will
Into the Divine One by Prayer
May Come Into Incredible
Power

At the First Congregational church
last night Rev. William Horace Day
spoke on the Energies of Man" He
took John xiv. II as the text. He said
in part:
zone of our greatest teachers Of psy-
chology wrote an article on this sub
ject few months ago. In it he tells
us his science teaches us that there
are unused resources of energy which
most men fail to use. He tells us to
press over the first barriers of fatigue
and reach the higher levels of energy,
as a runner holds on till he gets his
second wind He then discusses the
way men reach this higher level and
the larger freedom and power of will.
He shows some great stimulus, some
excitement, idea or effort carries
man over the DAM and he finds him
self permanently in control of new
power.
ITO lift man to his highest energy
was the purpose of Jesus gospel. To
reconcile men with God that God might
energize them by his spirit is the con-
slant message of the Master and his
apostles. He that believeth on me, the
works that I do shall he do Also He
who commits himself to Christ in faith
is to attain the maximum power of
energizing, and Paul prayed the Chris
tians in Ephesus might gain this higher
level of living, that they might know
the exceeding greatness of his power
to usward who believe and in the first
chapter of Acts we learn 'Ye shall re-
ceive power when the Holy Spirit is
come upon you
when man through faith and
prayer gears his will into Gods will
he comes into possession of incredible
power If Christ can only have his
way with us our power to exert energy
for blessing others will parallel his
own. You feel defeated in your own
character or in reaching another; you
are living the life of low potentiality:
There is no reason why you should
not be one of those high potentials'
If you will give the Lord right-of-way
tonight. He that believeth on me
shall do That Is the answer to the
universal question of defeated human
ity, why could not I do it?'"

Sees Big Gate Receipts
Seeing a brighter prospect of gate
receipts Mr.. Lehigh withdrew his pro-
test, and Knabenshue announced to the
crowd Mr.. Hart will be a passenger
next Sunday afternoon, putting on the
money sprinkling act every time the
airship is steered over the diamond.
The diamond will be cleared, if posi-
bic, and women who wish merely to
watch will have free seats in the grand
stand.
Knabenshue will duplicate next Sum
day the maneuVers he executed in the
air yesterday afternoon. His demon
stration with the dirigible was con-
fined to the neighborhood of the park
but from the spectators point of view
it was the prettiest flight SO far seen
in Los Angeles. At a height of 800
feet he described a circle toward Palm
Drive and back to the Chutes, then
covering the same track in an opposite
direction The dirigible was then
turned almost in it's own length above
Grand avenue and oyer Main street.
Knabenshue made numerous other
maneuvers showing the control of the
snip, bringing IL exactly Wnere ne
wanted it, and demonstrating plainly
the perfect control he held.
The spectators below were so inter-
ested they began to root for the aero
naut as though he were a champion
ball player. Shouts of ooh, you Roy!"
were mixed with the cheers that
marked the turns and circles made by
the airship. The landing was made
from the southeast, and as the balloon
came down it showed clearly the effect
of the wind pouring over the Chutes,
thereby indicating the local influences
to which a gas bag in the air is sub
Ject. Notwithstanding this, and the
fact Knabenshue was compelled to tack
to get his distance, he made his usual
| easy graceful landing. which brought
more shouts from the spectators.

SAME OLD ELEPHANT

POPULAR COMIC OPERA HOLDS
BOARDS AT GRAND :
Good BurIesque Features and Bright
Specialties Make, Revival
of the Show De-
ightful

With a delightful presentation of
wang" Ferris Hartman and his COM
pany began the third week of their Los
Angeles comic opera season yesterday
afternoon. The show is a marked i'm
provement on 1.-THE Idols Eye" with
much better musical numbers and bet
ter opportunities for the clever prin-
cipals to display their talents. Walter
De Leon, 'Muggins Davies and Sypii
Page are at their best in the ever
ways will remember as the setting for
the famous song of the king who gave
the peasant an elephant. The song is
the opening number and seemed to be
as popular as ever, although the eie-
plant is a bit the worse for wear. One
of the most delightful numbers was the
doll song by four small persons, two of
whom claim thesdistinguished Hartman
patronym. The talk in the foyer after
ward was that 1.-The kids were the big
hit" And they were.
Miss Muggins Davies as Mataya,
the crown prince of Sitm, gave a
charming imitation of a young man,
although there was nothing Siamese
about her makeup. Her song, "A
Pretty Girl" was especially good.
Miss Sybil Page, the prima donna of
cold since coming to Los Angeles, and
her voice is not yet at it's best, but
even with this difficulty she made a
decidedly good impression in the
Pretty Maid" song, taking the high
notes in the operate finish as grace
fully as a timber-topper clearing a
fence.
Mr.. Hartman, Walter De Leon and
Robert Lett divided the honors among
them in the burlesque department. Mr..
De Leon found himself in a new and
strange role as the blackface care
taker of the elephant, but all his skits
are good, and his I'm G'wan Away
song was winning number.
Mr.. Hartman gives his personal SUI
pervision to the staging of his attrac-
lions, with the assistance of Mr.. De
Leon. Wang shows highly efficient
stage direction, and there is not a
single dragging moment in the show.

ALFRED

Lottie, the 16-year-old daughter of
William Lewis. an electrical engineer
living at Sic Towne avenue, shot her
SELF in the left thigh with ~ canoer
revolver last night, in what her rather
states was an attempt to commit SUI
eide because he was unable to provide
her with clothing as good as that worn
by her girl companions.
The police believe the girl shot her
self to brighten her father into buying
her clothing such as she desired.
The girl herself stated at the receiV-
ing hospital that she had gone TO beu
with the revolver because she was
frightened, that she had been attacked
with a fainting spell, and that the re-
volver went off accidentally.
William Lewis is the father of seven
children, of whom Lottie is the fourth.
His wife died in January last, and he
has not been in the most prosperous
circumstances for some months past.
Yesterday afternoon he agreed to
take all his children to Chutes park,
but Lottie refused to go, saying her
clothes were not good enough FOR
the same reason she refused to accom-
pany her father and the other children
to church last night.
At about o'clock Lottie instructed
her little brother to go to bed, and he
fell asleep, only to be awakened by
the sound of a muffled shot and Vlo-
lent jump by his sister, whom he found
in bed beside him.
The girl had partly disrobed and got
into the bed with small revolver in
her hand. She was wounded in the
thigh, the bullet penetrating about
two inches. Probably she tainted, for
her brother could not arouse her.
The boy ran into the next room and
remained there until the father and
other children returned from church
little later. The girl was still in a
faint, and while the father bound up
the wound in her leg an older brother.
John, telephoned for the police, and
the ambulance took her to the recelv-
ing hospital. There Drs. Quint and
Bonynge removed the bullet and
dressed the wound after which the
girl was placed in bed in the matron's
department.

Frenzied finance will be combined
with Roy Knabenshue's next airship
flight, at which time events on the
ground, directly underneath the dirigi-

than the maneuvering of the balloon.
Knabenshue's expected passenger did
not appear at Chutes park yesterday,
but before making his flight he an
nounced he would take e. Oscar Hart,
president of the Death Valley Grub
Stake company, with him next Sunday.
MIR. Hart is a millionaire, whose
accumulation of treasure gives him
much distress, and he frequently hnds
ready relief in tossing a few hundred
dollars about to watch less philosoph-
ical persons scramble for them. He
was INDUCING in this pastifne at
Chutes park yesterday just before the
airship went up. when DICK Ferris had
a theatrical inspiration.

shue. "Why not take him up next

Hart was game. OF course he woulu
go, and he had any amount of money
Knabenshue might suggest, up to $1,000
to use in giving a second presentation
of Prosperity week, he said. The trip
was soon arranged.

NECKLACE FARCE
Miss Stones Farewell Play Is One of
the Best That Has Ever Been
Given at the Burbank
Theater

Persons who declare that the Eng
fish have no sense of humor may find
cause for retraction in "Glittering
Gloria" which is being staged this
week at the Burbank theater. There is
enough comedy of character and
comedy of incident in it to stock up all
the play carpenters unions in the bust
ness, and the Burbank players wasted
none of the fun making opportunities.
The material of the plot is made
from the complications following the
purchase of a diamond necklace for
dazzling chorus girl name Gloria Grant.
The unfortunate chaps concerned in
the necklace deal are cornered in the
young woman's apartments innocently
enough by the wife of one and the
fiancee of the other, and are crowded
into two trunks, which the "Glittering
Gloria" is packing preparatory to
trip to America. They are released the
next day, after spending a night in
trunks, with all sorts of inextricable
mixups happening in the meantime.
1t would be a sad and wOrld-weary
person indeed who would not discover
reservoir of unsupported laughs in his
system at the happy, slap-dash comedy
of the place, and sadder indeed would
be the person who would or could carp
at the way it was played. In but one
other role, that of Zaza, has Miss
Stone been seen to better advantage.
All the character parts were happily
done. John W. Burton created a most
excellent old mans part, the role of
the eccentric old admirer Of Gloria. A.
Byron Beasley, the faithful but fero-
cious man from Texas, fitted neatly into
the role and his melodramatic voice
seemed almost mellihous, SO happily
was he cast.
If you want to forget your debts,
your rheumatism or anything else that
may be troubling you see "Glittering

strels entertained q large audience at

their early expectations in regard TO
the mine will undoubtedly be realized.
They have driven a tunnel into the
mountain side thirty-fiYe feet and ore
taken from it assays $40 a ton and

the prominent residents of that city,
was stricken blind a few years ago, but
since then he has done many things,
such as shingling his own house and
building others. So last Friday he
dropped into local garage determined
to take a motor ride. He had often
talked about the mechanism with work.
men and had made himself familiar
with the levers, etc, but when he asked
to be allowed to drive a car the motor
lists demurred. He insisted Friday
that he be given a chance and he won
his point He drove up Scammon street
as straight as an arrow, gracefully
turned the corner at North street, then
along the road to ELM street, where he
made another turn and back home to
the garage again Naturally the peo-
pie were astonished and some of them
believed that he had recovered his eye

MURPHY HAS SHADE
ON FIGHTING DICK HYLAND
New Yorker Proves Little Too
Fast for the Coast
Lad.

NEW YORK, July LIN the six
round wind-up of the Navarro A. G.
boxing entertainment at Ulner Park
last evening Tommy Murphy, of EIar-
lem, had a shade the better OF Fighting
Dick Hy!and. of san Francisco. 1t was
one of the greatest mills ever seen in
the city. Somewhat tame at the out
set. the contest livened up as the fight
progressed, until in the final round the
spectators We're simply carried away
with the lightning-'ike work.
The first three rounds were a trife
slow, as the boys repeatedly clinched
aud hung on. They practically fought
straight rules, but kept so well covered
that no damage was done in the
clinches. In the fourth round the
referee began 10 make them break at
the word, and it was a much improved
fight thereafter.
Murphy started a rally in the fourth,
but Hyland always stood his ground,
willing to exchange wallops. The fifth
was Mnrphy's by a good margin, and
in the sixth he noored the native son
with a right cross to the jaw. Hyland
was up in a fash. however. and kept
boring i'm till tho final bell.
