Citizens to Aid Him.

Believing that anything in the interest
of the National Capital demands the sup
port of its citizens said Mr. Norment
this morning. Il have accepted the chair
manship of the finance committee of the
aviation meet of 1910 in the public spirit
In which it was SO kindly rendered.
Will name committee of citizens who
believe will aid in the work of securing
the necessary fund to make the meet not
only a financial success. but credit to
the city of Washington"
Charles c. Glover was first rendered
the position of chairman of the finance
committee, but owing to the pressure
OF other business did not accept. Charles
J. Bell, vice chairman of the joint COM
mlttee. tried last night and this morn
Ing to get in touch by telegraph with
Mr.. Walsh, who Is in New York city.
He finally succeeded about 10 o'clock
this morning
The chairman of the committee at

Bell Predicts Big Success.


THE appointment Of Clarence F. Nor
mert as chairman of the finance COM
mittee for the aviation meet will meet
the general approval of the public said
Mr.. Bell this afternoon MIR. Norment's
wide experience in matters Of this kind
will be Of great benefit and insures the
success Of the undertaking.
Few people realize the benefit which
will accrue to the city Of Washington.
The experience at Rheims shows that
during the week of the meet visitors will
country, but in large numbers from
abroad. There seems no possible doubt
that the financial result will be that not
only will the guarantee fund be returned
in full, as in the case of the inaugural
funds, but large surplus will be left
over.
with Thomas r. Walsh as chairman OF
the joint committee Of Washington and
Baltimore, r. j. Stellwagen as treasurer
and Clarence F. Norment as chairman Of
the finance committee, strong combina-
ton has been made"
Half Of Fund for Prizes.
The guarantee fund which Washington
and Baltimore are raising will amount to
S1OO, 900, half to be raised by each city.
approximately half this amount will go
for prizes for the meet to induce aviators
of the world to come here and compete.
The rest will go toward the erection Of
grandstands and other necessary ex-
penses.
BY the sale of admissions to the
grounds and grandstand seats, as we'll
as concessions to persons desiring to
erect booths and sell lunches, souvenirs.
etc, the finance committee anticipates it
will be able to clear more than enough
to cover these expenses, so that every
body who has subscribed will get his
money back in full and there will be
some left over to give for charitable or
other purposes, or to keep as d perma-
men. fund to further aviation in this
vicinity.
The plan of collecting the money and
recording the subscribers will be exactly
the same as is followed for a presidential
Inauguration. The committee to he ap-
pointed by Chairman Norment, which will
probably consist of about 100. will work
along the inauguration lines.
The interest in the meet, somewhat lax
before the organization of the committee
has taken a wonderful jump While the
fund is still small. it is added to every
day. Mrs. Ellen n. Warder subscribed
81, 900, Ward Thoron $3.50 and Milton E.
Allies $3.50 today. Yesterday evening d
subscription of 500 was received from
s kann, Sons & Co. That makes the
total arrount to date $l2,950.
The finance committee, of course, has
not yet got to work. but will at once, and
then real results are expected.

MASS MEETING HELD.
Fire and Police Commissioners the
Chief End In View.

The mass meeting called for
last night was well attended. but
it could not be said that the
meeting was an enthusiastic one.
The crowd seemed to lack
something to stir them up and
give the meeting snap. The only
matter that seemed to create
special interest was the nomina-
tion of the police and fire COM
mission after which the crowd
seemed to be satisfied and many
left for their homes.
The first business of the meet
ing after DR.. Johnson, who was
elected chairman, had:called upon
Mr.. v. S. Bryant to explain the
object of the meeting. was the
nomination Of candidates for the

received. The vote was as fol-

Crews 9, Monk Markham 4. The
three first mentioned were de-
clared the nominees Of the meet
ing.
When the time came for the
nomination Of aldermen the
crowd had about dwindled to
half its original size. Four of
the nominees of the ward meet

chosen in place of ward candi-
dates. The nominations as made

DRUNKEN NAN KILLS HIMSELF
Ohio Glasgow, CoIored, Ends Rls Lie
With a Pistol.

Otho Glasgow, a negro who
made his home on Willard street,
killed himself last night by using
a revolver. No cause is assigned
for the deed other than he was
drunk at the time.
Glasgow worked for the
Jourdan Transfer and after doing
his usual work yesterday went
to his home on Willard street
and the next heard from him was
a pistol shot and investigation
showed that he had shot himself
in the temple while lying in his
bed.
Glasgow was a middle age
man with a wife and two children
and no cause can be scraped up
why he should end his life in
such a manner. 1t is not his
custom to go home drunk but
only occasionally has he been
known to imbibe too freely.
Coroner Maddry was summon
ed and viewed the remains, but
found nothing to indicate that
any one but the deceased was
responsible for his death.
