ords for duration and distance and
establishing a record of 144 miles. HUI
bert Latham, French aeronaut, holds

Because of the difficulty in measur-
ing height attained by aeroplanes there

SUGGESTS FEW
NOTIFICATIONS
PRES. BISHOP C0NDlTI0NALLY
SANCTIONS MEET
Aero Club Head States That RESPONSE
BILE Persons Have Agreed to
Obey Rules of the Big
Organization
Associated Press1

NEW YORK. Dec. 3O.-President
announced this afternoon that he would
sanction the aeroplane meet at Los
Angeles, commencing January 10, with
some notifications of the program.
He will start for Los Angeles in a
few days.
The notifications President Bishop
will suggest will include the elimina-
tion from the program Of the cross
country balloon flight and the proposed
contests of dirigible balloons between
Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The prizes offered seem to stipulate
that the contestants must reach def
mite goal.
Mr.. Bishop contends that as no diri-
gible balloon attained anything like
success in the recent offer of a $4,000
prize for a flight from New York to
Albany, it would not be reasonable to
suppose a dirigible could make three
times the distance, from Los Angeles
to San Francisco.
1--WE have received a mass Of infor-
nation from the Los Angeles officials"
said Mr.. Bishop "and everything seems
satisfactory with the exception of a
number of contests which are probably
i'll advised through lack of experience
"This is the first aeroplane meet
which is TO be held in America, and in
such matters we do not know exactly
how to proceed. We must protect the
foreign aYiators, who are licensed pi-
| lots, else they cannot compete in con-
tests when they return to Europe. The
same rule must hold for our own pilots
IT have received assurances from
many Of the most responsible men and
commercial bodies of Los Angeles that
every regulation of the Aero Club Of
America and of the International Aero
nautic federation will BE- met, no mat
ter what arrangements may have been
from the advance program. That is all
we expect.
II shall start for Los Angeles in a
few days"
Objections raised and limitations
placed by the Aero Club of America
which yesterday gave it's sanction, con-
ditionally, to % Los Angeles meet
were treated lightly by Dick Ferris
He says that when Courtland Field
Bishop, president of the club, arrives
here the sanction restriction will be
removed he believes.
"The grand prizes for long flights"
said Ferris yesterday, have been Of
fered because contestants asked for
them. Because a long distance fight
has not been won or has not been sue
cessful in the east is no reason why
long distance fight should not be
held in Los Angeles. 1t really is a
fight between those who favor dirigibles
and those who favor aeroplanes that
has caused all the objections of the
easterners.
"When Mr. Bishop arrives in Los An
geles we will be able to straighten out
many matters. We will prove to him
that the long distance flying prizes are
warranted. We set out to do big things
and we will do them, There will be
flight, I hope a successful one, between
Los Angeles and San Diego, and an
other between here and San Francisco.
] believe Mr.. Bishop will agree that
these prizes are offered in good faith
when he gets here"

Details Not Arranged

The details of the spectacular event
have not yet been arranged, but the
program probably will be something
like this:
Back in the hills the dirigibles will
lie in wait until night. They will be In
hated from the local gas mains and
will be ready for the attack by dusk.
out in the harbor the revenue cutter
Perry will take her position, and the
torpedo boat hotilla, which is expected
to be here from Magdalena bay, VIII
likewise be in readiness.
As soon as darkness sets in the war
vessels will play their powerful search
lights upon the sky and try to pick off
the dirigibles when they come within
range.
Knabenshue is confident that he can
approach the vessels and drop make
believe bomb onto the deck of any yes
sci in the fleet. If he can, the value of
the airship in time of war or as pre-
server of peace will have been proved.
A splendid view of the flight and the
attack will be given the thousands of
visitors from the bluffs overlooking
the harbor. The railroads and the Pa
cifc Electric have already signified
their readiness to cooperate with the
committee in order to make the nights
entertainment the success it undoubt-
edly viii be.
Still another flight which may be ar
ranged will be a dirigible event from
Point Firrnin to Avalon, a distance of
twenty-five miles, an even mile farther
than the flight across the Straits of
Dover. which aroused the wonder of
th3 world. 1t is intimated that the
Banning company is considering Sc
curing Knabenshue and Willard for
such an event.
That the great harbor of Los Angeles
win be greatly advertised during Avia-
ton week is assured. The harbor COM
mission, who will have charge of the
campaign for the coming harbor bond
election is said to be considering using
Aviation week as a time for educating
the citizens on the importance of the
harbor
In any event, with the night fight
here, thousands of people from all over
the country will visit Los Angeles har-
Dor and will be impressed with its i'm
portance- as well as entertained and in
structed in modern airship methods of
warfare.

NIGHT ATTACK ON
WARSHIP PLANNED
Plans for Aviation Celebration at Har-
Dor Rapidly Being consummated,
and Great Events Are
Promised

SAN PEDRO. Dec. 30.-The spectacu-
lar feature of Aviation week, which will
be an attack by Roy Knabenshue in his
dirigible, and possibly by other navi-
gators on the revenue cutter Perry and
other craft in San Pedro harbor. prom
ises to be a grand success.
This afternoon a committe of the San
Pedro chamber of commerce met with
the aviation committee in the rooms
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association in the Wilcox building, and
as a result of the conference the San
Pedro committee was made a part
of the big committee and told to "go
to it,"
The representative from San Pedro
were Z. l.. Blanchard, president, and
e. H. Bautzer, secretary of the cham
ber of commerce.; o. B. Sadler, Philip
Gaffey. Charles Mason and Albert
Mackley.
The committee was authorized to for
mulate plans for the harbor flight and
make arrangements with the naviga-
tors. Roy Knabenshue has often said
he could make a night attack on war
vessels, and it did not take the com
mittee long to get his consent to make
the night flight out over the harbor.
1t is not known who will accompany
him, but it is thought that Willard will
also make the flight
