ROY kNABENSHUE
PRAISES WRIGHT
LOCAL AERIALIST RETURNS
WITH GREAT RECORD
Arrives Unannounced and Surprises
His Friends-Utility of Sky
Craft Is Proved, He
Says

Roy Knabenshue. one of the foremost
aerial navigators of the day and nearly
a native son by reason of his long resi-
dence in Southern California, surprised
his friends in Los Angeles yesterday by
arriving unannounced from Pittsburg.
Nobody knew he was within 1000 miles
of Los Angeles until he appeared yes
terday afternoon. He went lmme-
diately to his home in Ocean Park ano
will remain until next week, when he
goes to Arizona to fill q date at
Phoenix, and probably will give ex-
hibitions in other cities In that ter
ritory.
He was so delighted to be at home
that he was not inclined to talk shop
to any extent, but replied to questions
regarding the progress of airship build
ing in America and kindred subjects
He Is enthusiastic regarding the pos
sibilities of success for the airship that
Orville Wright Is experimenting with
at this time and says that Wright Is
the king of all builders and airship in
ventors. According to Knabenshue, the
Wright machine will prove q success.
and thereby will solve the problem or
aerial navigation.
Knabenshue also expressed the
opinion that America is several years
ahead of all other nations in airship
construction and the progress that is
being made by American inventors, he
believes, will keep this country In the
lead for all time to come. He has made
a fortune in airship building and sail
ing in the last four or five years, but
says that he has saved practically little
of 1t, as he has expended 1t almost as
fast as 1t came in experimenting and
developing his own theories on the sub
ject. The airship of the future is as
sured. he says, and it's general utility
is undoubted.

WILMINGTON, Oct. 19.-Capt. Han
cock Banning and Attorney frahN
Carr, representing William Banhilis,
appeared before the board of trustees
tonight and asked for two double tracN
franchises for period OF htty years,
to connect the Southern Paclnc anu
Pacific Electric tracks with Mormon

assured, the Bannings will make lOo
acres around Mormon island one OF

States.
One franchise asked for is for two
double tracks from the Southern Pa
cific 1900 feet in length. The otner is
for 5000 feet of double track 5000 feet.
The Bannings agreed to dig chan1
mel 100 feet wide and 1S feet deep at
low tide, from the government turning
basin to Mormon island; and ano'her
from Wilmington to Mormon island,
making 5000 feet in all. They promised
TO commence work within Iorty-nVe
days from the time the franchises are
granted and to complete 1t within q
year.
The work they propose, Mr.. Carr
stated, would enable Wilmington TO
reclaim fifteen to twenty acres ana
save $4,000 on the amount proposed
for municipal Improvement. The Ban
nings Will agree to handle on their
new terminal cars of any railroad COM
pany at a reasonable rate. The Nor
mon island tract is figured to contain
eighteen acres, and it is proposed to
utilize eighty-tive acres northerly from
that, making in all 10S acres.
The matter was discussed at length
and maps showing the work proposed
were presented to the trustees. No
action was taken, as the matter was
laid over for fuller consideration next

by Associated PressI

NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.-Mrs. Minnie
e. Young, mother of Lewis Ginter
Young, a member of the failed broker
age firm of A. o. Brown & Co., told
at today's session of the investigation
into the affairs of fhe firm of having
made large loans to that firm in 1906
and shortly before the firm failed.
While she was ltestifying her son
wrote a statement declaring that his
connection with the firm had cost his
mother $1,10O. 900, large part of which
was lost in the collapse of the San
Domingo Gold and Copper company.
Mrs. Young testified that she loaned
1000 shares of preferred stock of the
American Tobacco company and $4,000
worth of that company's bonds to A.
o. Brown & Co. in 1906, and thereafter
was paid $1,000 month for her part
of the financing of the Whitney syndi-
cate, which was one of the ventures in
which A. o. Brown & Co. were in
terested.
Shortly before the failure, Mrs. Young
said, she loaned the firm 100000 worth
of securities to enable them to get their
checks certified.
This was returned to her on the day
on which she loaned it.

TRIAL OF MORSE
TO BE BY NIGHT
INTERESTING TESTIMONY AD-
DUCED YESTERDAY
Ice Stock and Checks Play Prominent
Part in Sensational Develop
r1ents-F. A. Heinze
involved
rRx Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-With view
to bringing the case to an end at the
earliest possible moment it has been
practically decided, according to re-
port current today, to hold night ses-
sions while the court is trying Charles
w. Morse and A. H. Curtis on charges
of violation of the national banking
laws and conspiracy.
The reasons for haste are many, not
the least, it is said, being that the
Jury, many of whom are men with
substantial business interests, must,
under the courts order, remain under
close guard until verdict has been
rendered.
Much time had been given last week
to testimony regarding actual condi-
tions in the National Bank of North
America before the crash, the methods
of making loans and attending to other
details.
lines was given today when Frank e..
Pringle, one of the banks law clerks,
was called as the first witness.
The questioning indicated 1t to be
the purpose of the prosecution to show
that loans made by the bank on ice"
stock had aroused Tpicions on the
part of the bank employees.
Made Big Profit
During Pringle's examination there
was introduced in evidence memoir
andum and letter showing that Mrs.
K. T. Gelshenen had made a big profit
in a deal in ice stock.
The memorandum was in the hand
writing of Curtis, one of the defend
ants, and bore the address TX. T..
Gelshenen, 1905 Fifth avenue"
There was a cashiers check for
S38, 1866 dated January 15, 1906, bearing
Curtis signature. The letter informed
Mrs. Gelshenen that her investment
of $25, 900 in ice had earned profit of
$13, 1865 and that she therefore was being
sent a check for $38,S65 to cover the
transaction.
The name of F. Augustus Heinze
also was brought into the case during
the examination of Pringle. He had
been secured by 1000 shares of ice and
5000 shares of stock of the Butterick
Publishing company.
Mr.. Curtis came to the loan cage
and carried away these shares, Pringle
said, leaving in their place substitu-
tion slip for the Butterick stock.
Slip Was Replaced
The slip later was replaced by a
receipt and subsequently the whole
loan was balanced by two new loans.
One of these was 100000 to Mr.. Bag
lin private secretary to F. Augustus
Heinze, and a second of 100000 was
made to Heinze himself. Mr.. Heinze
at that time was president of the
Mercantile National bank, Pringle
said.
Continuing his testimony Pringle
told of having repeatedly under orders
renewed loans in liquidation of old
loans on the same stocks and for the
same amount.
The 1000 shares of ice stock owned
by the bank, he said, were shifted
backward and forward as collateral
and withdrawn by President Curtis
and redeposited again from time to
time with great rapidity.
ross-examined, Pringle said that
the Davidson Brown realty covered an
investment in ice stock made by Mrs.
Katherine Gelshenen. Other invest
ments amounted to $135,000 and later
was closed with a. profit of $50, 900
through appreciation in the value Of
the stock in the open market.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-MasSing all the

ture the Empire state, Norman e.
Mack, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, bearing prophecies
of victory, came from the west today
to take personal charge of what he
declared will be the hardest fought
finish of any presidential campaign in
this state. Not only Mr.. Bryan, but
other Democratic speakers OF note, IN
cluding several United States senators,
will swing through the state in an eff
fort to capture New Yorks electoral
vote for the Democratic ticket. Mr..
Mack held several conferences today
with eastern leaders, looking to the
formulation of plans for the final on
slaught.
ST firmly am convinced W. J. Bryan
will be elected by a landslide said Mr..
Mack. "Within the last two weeks l
have caused q careful poll to be made
by captains in hundreds of precincts in
New York and in Ohio for the purpose
of obtaining the percentage of Repub-
lican loss compared with four years
ago. The results of that poll are
amazing. In no instance have the re-
ports made me shown the percentage
of gain to be less than % per cent,
and in, Erie county the losses to the
Republicans ran as high as 40 per
cent. Equally large losses to the Re
publicans were shown in Ohio and In
diana and in the twelve other states
which the two parties are contesting.
These figures mean only one thing
Bryan's election by tremendous plu-
rality.. That these figures are correct
and based on careful poll is shown
from the fact that l directed the pre-
cinct captains to submit with their re-
ports the names of Republicans, with
