CALIFORNIAN INVENTS AND
FLIES IN NEW M0N0PLANE

EUREKA, Cal, Nov. 17.-Blaine Sell
wage, a young mechanic of this city
in a monoplane of his own construc-
ton, made a trial flight this evening
of three fourths of a mile at an aver
age height of three feet, in one min
ute and a half
Selvage has been at work on his
aeroplane for more than a year He
not only constructed the machine
which is built on the monoplane
model, unasssted, but even made him
self the 20-horse power four-cylindel
engine with which it is driven.
The ambitious young mechanic says
he has perfected steering and bal
lncng devices which are entirely new
md considers them an improvement
over those used by other aviators. In
his next flight he plans to fly over the
city.
Selvage stated tonight that he ex-
oects to take his aeroplane to Los An
~eles to try for a prize offered in that
city.

JOE SIMONS WEDS
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ia ro-
nance which had its origin in Los An
geles two years ago had its culmina-
tion in San Francisco tonight, when Jo-
seph Simons, president Of the Slmons
Brick company of the southern city and
well-known Democratic politician,
was married to Miss Irene Coulter,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Coul-
ter, former residents of Los Angeles.
The ceremony was performed at the
residence of the brides parents, 204S
Polk street, by Rev. George I. Bur-
lingame, pastor of the First Baptist
church. The bride, attired in a prin-
cess gown of white satin, was given
away by her father, who Is connected
with the Santa Fe Railroad company
in this city. The couple will depart In
an automobile tomorrow on their
honeymoon trip. Several stops will be
made between here and Los Angeles,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Simons will make
their home.
Two years ago Smons met Miss Coul-
ter in Los Angeles, where she was
prominent in musical circles. In Oc-
tober of last year, while Miss Coulter
was visiting relatives in South Bend.
Wash, Simons visited them, taking
his six-cylinder car north with him.
Chaperoned by Mrs. Coulter, an aunt
of the bride, they made 1400-mile
trip through the state of Washington.
Tor the past three months it has been
Simons' custom TO slip quietly from
Los Angeles each Saturday night on
the "Owl," pass Sunday with his fan
Gee and return TO his business Mon
day. He has been able to keep his Sc
cret from his friends and business as
sociates
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-18
and this she stated yes

other scheme and this she stated yes
terday.
Il expect to begin next week to ride
horseback and exercise in other ways
to keep my flesh down. l was afraid
that this climate will make me stout.
l am very fond of tennis and golf
and l hope to play a great deal while
l am here. l am also very fond of
motoring and had my first ride here
yesterday. You know we exercise
every day by going to the postoffice
after our mail"
Miss Russell admitted that there was
no man in sight that she knew she was
going to be married to and the Japa-
nese prince the least of all. But one
can never tell" she added, there may
be some one | may meet out here that
I may marry" but she quickly added
that she said 1t only in Joking spirit
and that she had come west merely for
rest and to enjoy the climate, provided
it did not have a tendency to make her
stout.
Miss Russell expressed a dislike for
the stage, saying that vaudeville was
especially hard, as one had to devote
the entire time to it, working both
night and day. 1.-THE life is rather
hard" she said. land one gets tired
of the hotels and the same old life
over again every day, week in and
week out. You know, it seems good
to get away from it all and We are
so happy here in this pretty bungalow
which is so homelike and cosy" and
she brought out a beautiful picture
of her mother which she had just re-
ceived from Boston, where she Is
playing In "Tho Widows Mite"
Miss Russell is keeping q memory
book with newspaper clippings, pic
lures and items published about her
self. She takes a keen delight in this
and exhibited it proudly. Next week
| am going 20 have a plano moved in
and then l will be able to play and
practice again. I might possibly take
a theatrical engagement while ] am
out here to keep me busy / was to
have gone on with Joseph Brooks in
the Inner Shrine" the first of the
year, but that is not ready and I have
some time at my disposal"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-18
SMITH WILLING TO TAKE
TIME FOR A RECOUNT
tContinued from Pare one,

Parish campaign and the reasons why
he is now for George Alexander for
mayor:
Nearly 1000 voters placed Oscar E.
Farish's name at the head of their
ticket because they knew the man and
believed him superbly equipped to
serve the city at this critical time in
its history. We are in a minority and
now the municipal campaign has
changed in many vital respects; and
with this change comes the necessity
of a new alignment.
THE essential feature of the direct
primary was that it should register
the choice of the people, not of d few
men manipulating a convention of their
own appointment, Such result has
been reached; mighty convention Of
$1,000 voters has selected its candidates
But this selection has been made in
such manner that another vital is
sue becomes involved and emphasized
with that of choosing the best men
for our municipal offices. About forty
candidates are now before the people.
one candidate for mayor seven candi-
dates for the board of education, and
twenty-five other candidates represent
the peoples choice based on fitness
for office: one candidate for mayor
or two other candidates represent the
choice Of a party convention which
was not representative of the Re
publican party.
THE theory of this convention was
that convention not the people,
should choose our candidates. Now the
promoters of this convention urge the
voters to adhere to party lines and
make the candidates responsible to
the party. not directly to the people.
Il am Republican but l do believe
every elective officer is responsible
first to his conscience, second to the
people who elect him; and that no man
has a right to shelve his responsible
ity on TO any other person or group
of persons. An attempt to do so is but
an attempt to hide and evade respon-
sibility. And why hide it?
Accordingly, in this campaign | con-
slider 1t my duty, and that of every
man who prefers individual fitness and
responsibility, not party service, Is the
essential qualifications of our public
servants, to work and vote for George
Alexander and the other candidates
who represent this principle. so en-
phatically indorsed in the recent pri-
maries."
