AERIAL COMPANY
IS INCORPORATED
DirieibIe with Carrying Capacity Of
Three Persons to Be Constructed
at Once-To Fly Over
Los Angeles

The American Aerial Advertising and
Navigation company, which was pro-
NOTED recently by Los Angeles men
and has secured the aeronautic inven-
tions of w. A. Hall, balloon instructor
of the signal corps, has been incorpo-
rated under the laws of Arizona. The
following officers were elected at a
meeting of the stockholders last night:
James Moore, president and general
manager; j. S. Suniville, vice presi-
dent, and c. e. Barber, secretary and
treasurer. The company has opened
offices at 311-312 Citizens National Bank
building, and will establish an expert
mental and manufacturing grounds in
one of the suburbs.
Mr.. Halls device for universal joint
to be applied to aerial propellers has
been taken over by the company, which
has also obtained two dirigible bal
looms from Mr. Moore. A dirigible capa-
BILE of carrying three persons will be
built at once, equipped with the Hall
device. and a demonstration will be
given with it over the business section
of Los AngeleG. The officers of the
company believe that passenger trips
with airships may be made between
Los Angeles and the beach towns, and
plans were adopted last night for in
shutting this service on commerclai
basis between grounds in Los Angeles
and o beach point probably Venice.

Baker is sincere in the belief that
he can defeat Wolgast, else he would
not select him as his opponent in maxi
ing his opening scrap here in an at

He has been training regularly and
faithfully for quite awhile in antici-
patton of this match, and viii be in
his best form when he steps into the
ring. He very rightly figures that If
he can defeat Wolgast he will create
a demand for other good matches for
himself here, and is overlooking no de-
tail that will enable him to show at
his best and most effective form.
He is training at Venice, using the
outdoor ring and gymnasium that was
built for Freddie Welsh when he went
to that city to train. He will work
out this afternoon in a special card

he very handily defeated Baker in
their previous battle, which was held
at Milwaukee a year ago, that bout
being staged at the same distance as
their scrap for Tuesday night. While
he admits that Baker probably has i'm
proved since then, he also says that
Los Angeles fans must admit that he

KNABENSHUE IS BUILDING
DAINTIEST BALLOON IN THE
WORLD FOR COMING SHOW

The daintiest balloon in the world
will make it's first fight from Pasadena
March 16. 1t is being constructed at
Chutes park by Roy Knabenshue, who
will cali it the Fairy He purchased
the finest quality of silk obtainable i'll
San Francisco for the envelope, and
will work in his own ideas to give it
the latest lines in balloons.
The balloon, basket and all, will
weigh but sixty-fve pounds, but it will
carry more than 500 pounds above its
own weight. AS the basket is of cam
vas, to make it collapsible, when de-
fiated the whole outfit, including the
anchor, may be packed in suit case.
The balloon will be used for demon
strating at the Pasadena carnival of
sports, when the Ferris racers, United
States and American, will also be sent
up. Mr.. and Mrs. Dick Ferris and Mr.
and Mrs. Knabenshue will take trip
in the United States on Tuesday Of
carnival week, which is March Is to
20. and several prominent citizens of
Pasadena will enjoy an aerial view
from the American. In addition to the
balloons and Knabenshues airship. the
carnival will have ball game between
the White Sox and the Angels, sham
battle by Spanish War veterans, cow
boy maneuvers and other attractions.

COEY OUT TO WIN
LAHM AERO CUP
Believes Los Angeles Is Best Start
ina Point in the Country for
Long Journey In
Balloons

II can win the Lahm cup by start
ing in my balloon Chicago from Los
Angeles. and l intend to do it," said
Charles A. Coey yesterday Mr.. Coey
has been studying the aeronautic sit
uation in Los Angeles since coming
here with Mrs. Coey in January. He
has been impressed with the idea that
Los Angeles is the best starting point
in America for an endurance balloon
voyage, but did not commit himself
until his pilot, Captain G. L. Bum
baugh of indianapolis arrived. Cap
tain Bumbaugh is in Los Angeles, and
after comforting with him Mr.. Coey
is firmly convinced that he can make
an eastern trip of at least 1900 miles.
The leading balloon trophy open to
American aeronauts is the Lahm cup,
offered by Lieut.. Frank z. l.ahm. 10
secure it a balloonist must make voy-
age of between 600 and 700 miles, and
Mr.. Coey has already exceeded the re-
CURED distance in the Chicago, but not
as a contestant. The Chicago will ar
rive in Los Angeles this week and cap
tain Bumbaugh will at once prepare 1t
for use. Col. Coey and he conferred
with Superintendent Vance OF the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric company
yesterday and both were surprised at
by local illuminating gas.
Mrs. Coey to Learn
The Chicago will be used for two or
three short trips for the purpose OF
teaching Mrs. Coey the art of balloon
ing, and then preparations will be
made for an eastward flight.
II have been gathering information,
and | am more confident than ever
that the eastward trip is feasible"
said Mr.. Coey yesterday. Il intend to
get at least 1900 miles before 1 shall
be satisfied. If a balloonist makes
5000 miles to the east it will prove a
great advertisement for Los Angeles,
and a greater distance than that has
been accomplished abroad. l believe
YOU will see rich men bringing their
balloons out here every winter, as
Dick Ferris has prophesied. The gas
situation is very encouraging. Mrs.
Coey and 1 are anticipating great
deal of pleasure from our first trip
over Los Angeles"
Captain Bumbaugh has just received
his license as a qualified pilot of the
Aero club of America, being the twen-
ty-first pilot of the club. He built the
Chicago for Col. Coey, and ii now has
the distinction of being the largest
spherical balloon in the world in use
at present, having a capacity of 10000
cIhiC feet of gas.
