 The case was set for this afternoon in the Recorders Court
 Mir. Lowe stated to a representative of The Advertiser that the trouble had originated out of a business transact ion with member of Mir. Starke's family and of telephone conversations following this transaction.
 Mir. J. NJ. Starke made substantially the same statement. declaring that both himself and the other members of his family had been insulted over the phone by Mir. Lowo.
 Mir. S C. Starke stated that his brother had consulted with him about the matter and in order, if possible. to settle the difference amicably. he had proposed that his brother go with him to the City Hall to see Alderman R. $. Lowe, the brother of b. r. Lowe that they went there just before me meeting of the Council, and waited for the Alderman.

AERONAUTS AT WAR.
Chicago Aero Club After Prestige Of

AerOnautS all over the country are
facing a merry war. which has its
origin in an invitation sent out by the
Chicago Aero Club to Il number of
aero clubs throughout the country,
asking that delegates be sent 10 Chi
cago Feb. II for the purpose Of form
ing q national organization of aero
clubs The Aero Club of America,
with headquarters in New York. the
FIRST club organized in America. be-
lieves the Chicago club is attempting
to take away its prestige as the parent
club of the country. This belief is
strengthened by the fact that the club
has received no invitation to take part
in the Chicago meeting.
The st. Louis club organized at the
time of the international races last
summer has also been left out. The
object of securing the lead among the
clubs in America is to secure men,
bership in the International Aero
nautic Federation, which admits but
one club from each Countrywide club
which leads in the sport. A special
meeting of the New York club will be
held Monday, at which time the
matter will be considered.

his fine work in winning all five of his
bouts clearly emitting him to the posi-
ton. Captain Bridge has always been
deeply interested in fencing ami to his
