PROF. DINGBATS TAKES, ISSUE WITH
TRIBUNE In ITS AERIAL FLIGHT

To The Salt Lake Herald: Being
somewhat interested in the subject of
aeronautics, I venture to call attention
to an assertion which appeared in the
Tribune Wednesday in connection with
an account of the flight of the Knaben-
shue airship. This is the Tribunes
statement:
The extreme youth of the operator
of the airship is due to the fact that
the high altitude of the region les
sens the ascending power of the car
about 10 per cent
This paragraph at first glance appears
to open an entirely new avenue in the
field of aviation and to promise sensa-
tiOnal disclosures in the world of scien-
tific thought. In seeking to determine
the exact significance of the assertion,
there are suggested to the casual OBJ
server some entirely new phenomena
in the realm OF cause and effect. Previ-
GUS scientific descriptions of the Kna-
benshue exploit have conveyed the i'm
preston that the ascending power at
tached to the gas bag instead of the
car, but it seems eXpedient to waive the
peculiar premise in contemplating the
stupendous possibilities of the startling
conclusion. This brings attention di-
rectly to the hypothetical relationship
purpOrting to exist between the age Of
the operator and certain degrees of al
titude as applied to certain specified
volumes Of hydrogen gas. The first de-

SHORT LINE HALTED.
Temporarily Restrained From Build
ing a Spur Track.

A restraining order was obtained
Wednesday to stop ehe Oregon Short
Line Railway company and P. ]. Mo-
ran, a contractor, from proceeding with
the construction of a spur track on
Third West street into lot 4, block Z,
plat A, where Moran's property is To-
Gated. until cause has been shown why
the injunction should not be made per
manent. The hearing is set for June 3.
The order was obtained by Charles
Wanless, Francis NJ. Brown, Francis II.
Brown, Laura NJ. Brown, Nellie f.
Brown and Fred Wanless, who filed suit
against the railroad company and Mo-
ran Wednesday.
Moran owns a large portion of block
:. and has erected there a fine stable
and contracting plant. Permission was
given by the city council for single
spur track across the east side Of Third
West street. and a double spur across
Gale street, between Eighth and Ninth
South streets. The compliments are
property owners in the same block and
aIege that the spur with the present
tracks will completely bound their
properties, and that the ordinance
granting the spur was railroaded
through the city council, also that II
is void because, it is said, it was not ac-
cepted within thirty days, as the law
requires. 1t is said no notice was sent
to the property owners.

THRIFTY ASPIRATIONS INDICATED
In ESSAYS BY SCHOOL PUPILS

It would seem that the rising gener-
alton is to be a more thrifty one than
the present, if one may judge of this
quality by the interest aroused among
the young people by a contest inaugu-
rated by one of the local banks in re-
gard to the saving Of money. That the
youngsters are vitality interested in the
subject Of saving has been evidenced by
the fact that articles on the subject,
either grave or gay, are forthcoming
daily.
The contest is for sums of money, $40
to be given for the best essay on How
to Save Money" The essays are to be
in by the first of the month. and the
teachers in the city schools are mar

One small urchin, who evidently COM

KEYHOLE TESTIMONY
IS NOW PROMISED

Marcelle Lucas, cOlored, and Luka
Nukosarverzich an Austrian, were ar
rested last night in the stOckade on the
west side by Deputy Sheriff Andrew
Smith, jr., on the evidence of spoilers
who are said TO have obtained the evil
dence they sought by looking through
the keyhOle in one Of the stockade apart
ments.
There was an unexpected development
in one of the pending cases yesterday.
Charging that the woman who answered
to the name of Bessie Lawton was not
the person against whom the original
complaint WIS filed those representing
the prosecution in the stockade case
opened the way for dismissing the
charges. and thus another Of the cases,
which IS but a thread in a mesh of legal
entanglements, was dropped in Justice
Bishops court
Attorney King, representing the de-
tense, offered proof to show the woman
to be the original against whom the com
plant had been filed. He declared she
would take the stand and swear to this
before the jury.
This is the same woman who was ar
rested, taken to the county Jail and re-
leased on 500 bond as Bessie Lawton, and
I'll produce a witness now present in this
court to take an oath to that effect" he
declared.
After considerable WTangling among
counsel, Attorney King then moved for a
dismissal of the charges against the wo-
man in court, and the case was thrown
out.
