NEW YORK, Sept 9O.-Resting on
their laurels of yesterday, Wilbur
Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss did not
venture any flight today in the face of
the strong wind that blew continuously
over New York harbor.
Early Curtiss announced his intention
OF attempting a fight, but by the time
he was reday to start the wind had
freshened so that he changed his plans;
An hour or so later Wright reached
his shed on Governors Island, and, as
sisted by Taylor, his mechanician'

wires and fastenings of his machine.

stringent rules than has been his Gus
tom heretofore.
Discusses Lawsuit
The application Of the Wright broth
ers for a temporary restraining order
to prevent Curtiss from making 1xhl-
bition flights, applied for today in But-
faIo was sought by the Wrights, ac-
cording to a statement by Wilbur
today, for the purpose of Fastening
court action in their case against Cur
tiss.
'I think this suit will be regarded as
q test case" he said. I'VE want to get
decision in the matter as soon as
possible-before too much damage has
been done.'
Curtiss, when informed of the action
of the Wrights, telephoned the infor-
nation to his attorneys. There was no
evidence that the action involved any
personal feeling. Wright said that 1t
would be of equal value to all inter
ests to have the matter settled as soon
as possible"
When informed of a report that ms
brother had made a flight over 800 feet
high in Germany today, Wilbur Wright
said that he doubted whether the re-
mort was correct, because he did not
think his brother would go up to such
a height without any evident purpose
in doing it.
"If he went up over 200 meters" said
Mr. Wright, "he surely would have
continued going up until he reached 9O0
meters, which is the height of the Eiffel
tower"

Kenneth McRae of Rialto and the sec
retary, e. J. Yokam of Highland.
The reason assigned for the resigna-

Wisconsin Farmland Files Petition to
Set Aside the Decree of
Distribution

SANTA ANA, Oct. 15.-The estate Of
John Lane, in which a decree of dis
tribution was issued here August 20,
has become a matter of contest. A pc
tition to set aside the decree of distri-
button was filed here today by the
grandson of the deceased, on the ground
that he had not been provided for in
the will The contestant is George w.
Granfell of Ridgway, Wis.
John Lane died here January 25, 1903,
and his will left his property to his
wife and son, Martin Lane, who was
also his partner in the furniture busi-
ness of Lane e. Lane. After the writ
ing of the will Mr.. Lane, ST., and his
wife separated, making a division of
the property. She abided by the divis-
ion, and as Martin Lane was considered
the sole legatee the property was dis
tributed accordingly.
The contestant, who is a farm hand,
claims half Of the estate of $4650. The
young man is a son of Martin Lanes
deceased sister.

MONROVIA, Oct. ia most novel
scheme was discussed last evening at
the regular weekly meeting of the
Monrovia board of trade for advertis-
ing and beautifying the city. 1t is
proposed to devote one evening in every
week, when the weather permits, to an
electrical fountain display and band
concert in the city park. 1t is be-
lieved that Fountain Day" will add
much to the attractions of the Foot
hill city. The park Is already well
supplied with a patent watering sys-
tenn and when several of the spouts
are enlarged small fountains may be
readily produced at a nominal cost.
Electric lights will be placed beneath
the stream of water and in the basins
50 that the water will be given an irri-
descent effect In addition to the cleo
trical fountains a band is now being
organized by L. P. Miller and a con =
cert will be given every evening that
the electrical display is seen. 1t is
not likely that anything definite will
be accomplished before next summer.
