News OF the Courts
ALLEGES SIGNATURE
OBTAINED BY FRAUD
OFFSH00T OF CARLSON CASE
HEARD IN COURT
Owner of Twelve Lots in Redondo Villa
Tract Declares He Knows Moth
ing of Having Signed
Note

Jacob H. Meadows, owner of twelve
lots in w. H. Carlson's Redondo Villa
tract, when confronted by a note for
$3.50 bearing his signature in Judge
RordwelFs court yesterday, stated that
he knew nothing about the paper and
that his signature must have been OBJ
tanned by fraud. Meadows was de-
fendant in a suit in which Evan Lewis
receiver of the Consolidated bank,
sought to recover on the note for $3.50
dated April 5, 1907.
Meadows said he purchased twelve
lots in the Redondo Villa tract for $500.
Half of this amount, he said, he paid in
monthly installments, and when the
Consolidated bank was closed he feared
his property might be involved and paid
the balance borrowing the money from
Alfred H. Klein, cashier of the Farm
ers and Merchants bank of Redondo.
The note was turned over as an as
set of the bank to Evans when he was
appointed receiver.
"Did you sign that note" asked
Judge Bordwell.
"That is my signature, but don't
know how it was obtained" replied
Meadows. 1.-THE only papers I know
ingly signed in connection with the
receipts showing the property had been
fully paid for.
"That is all I want to hear" stated
Judge Bordwell. He gave judgment
for Meadows, remarking that he was
sorry for the creditors of the bank, but
would not be justified in trying to COM
NIT another fraud.
Carlson was not in court, the attor-
neys stating he could not be located.

SAYS AEROPLANES
WILL FLY HIGHER
AERONAUT RIDICULES FEAR OF
ARMY MEN
Glenn n. CurtIss Asserts That Ma
chimes VIII Be Able to Ascend
Out of Bullet Range When
Perfected

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Glenn H. Cur
tiss, the aeroplanist, declared that the
objection of military authorities to fly
ing machines, on the theory that they
can not ascend sufficiently high to be
out of range of guns, is without found
alton.
There are only two things at pres
ent which are retarding long contin-
ued high flights by aeroplanes," Cur
tss said.
'"The first thing is the nerve of the
operator and the stcond the fear the
motor will suddenly stop or develop
other troubles that might make a
quick descent from a high elevation
dangerous. AS soon as the motor trou-
BILE can be overcome the nerve of the
operator will be found. The aeroplane
motor is still in it's experimental stage.
"It is not the fear of meeting trou-
blesome cross currents of air in the
high sections that retards high flying.
The main trouble is with the motor. 1t
has been lightened and simplihed to
the last degree possible by the elimina-
tion of as many parts as possible from
the heavier and more reliable motor
as used in automobiles, and yet we ex-
pect it to show an equally high degree
of efficiency"

NEW COINAGE OF PENNIES
is NOT VERY POPULAR
Artists, Bankers and Owners OF Slot
Machines Are Disappointed In
Lincoln Cent Pieces

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The Lin
coin pennies are not so popular as the
treasury officials had hoped for. Ar
lists have always declared that PEN
ny superior in design to the Indian
penny could not be turned out ana u
is claimed that the Lincoln penny is u
practical demonstration of that state
ment.
The new pennies are being subjected
to criticism by others than artists. 1t
was first discovered at the treasury
that they did not stack up as well as
the Indian coins.
The most serious objection to them,
however, is that they are thicker than
the old coins. Institutions which use
coin machines have already begun
complaining that the new pennies do
not fit the machines.
