taken either to justify the stories that
have gone all over the world or TO ask
for some reasonable explanation. They
feel that the board should ask Tilling-
hast TO corroborate the wonderful tales
Of his aeropiane. and It IS their Intention
formally to put It up TO the steamhtting
expert that he must back up his state
ments with some reasonable proof or deny
that he is responsible for the stories.
II is their purpose 70 prove 10 the world
either that there Is a wonderful airship
IA tho vicinity Of Worcester or that the
whole thing IS a hoax and that the city
does not sanction the peculiar brand OF
notoriety in which It. has basl5ed. II IS
