TO TEST NOVEL AEROPLANE

PASADENA, Sept. 25.-Eyre Powell,
an 1S-year-old student at Throop in
stitute, has perfected an aeroplane IN
which he will make an attempt to fly
tomorrow morning. Powell states that

chance to be out and witness the flight,
He will start from the top of the hill
at Marengo avenue and has his flying
machine stored in a vacant lot near
Fair Oake avenue in the shadow of
the Hotel Green.
When seen this evening he stated he
has long been interested in aerial nav
igation and the machine which he
would try out in the morning was but
an experiment and he would imme-
diately build a larger machine on the
monoplane type as soon as he had ex-
perimented with the one he now has.
He appeared confident of succeeding
and talked in a manner which showed
he was thoroughly familiar with the
subject.
Il am not looking for a crowd to wit
ness my flights" he said this evening,
land for that reason have selected
the early morning as the best time to
find the streets deserted. L shall i'm
mediately construct a larger machine
as soon as I try out this one"

MONKEYS Fiqht Over Squirrel

PASADENA, Sept. 25.-A battle be-
tween two monkeys in the Central
park zoo this afternoon almost ended
fatally. A squirrel jumped into the
cage to obtain drink of water, when
one of the monkeys grabbed the tail
of the squirrel and pulled it off. The
second monkey then jumped on the
back of the other and for a half hour
they battled for possession of the me-
mento. The fight was terrific and the
cries of the two monkeys as they tore
at each other attracted the attention
of the keepers, who separated them
after a struggle. The squirrels tail
is in the possession of the Humane
society as a souvenir.

FRED DURHAM AGAIN WILL
PETITION FOR FRANCHISE
Said That Promoter Can Now Show
Backing for Proposed Elec-
trio Line

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 25.-Be-
fore the city council Monday night
Fred Durham, whose application for
the advertisement of an electric rail-
way franchise through certain streets
in this city was recently denied, will
again renew his petition and it is re-
ported that he is now ready to furnish
the city officials with information as
to his backing. His original applica-
ton was denied through the lack of
evidence that he was in good faith.
Durham now claims that he already
has 100000 available for use in con-
structing a thirty-mile line from Up
land into this city, and states that 1t
is his intention to arrange with the
Pacific Electric for the running of cars
from Los Angeles to this city. His
project is not looked on seriously.

ATTEMPTS TO CAPTURE
NEGRO PROVE FRUlTLESS
City and County Officers Twice Fire
at Fugitive, but Fail to
Get Him

RIVERSIDE. Sept. 25.-The city and
county officers have had a lively time
today in an attempt to capture Tom
Watson, a negro, wanted for an at
tempt to commit murder in April. 1t
was learned a few days ago watson
was being concealed by his friends IN
He was seen for the first time this
morning, one of the police officers
having received a tip the fugitive
would attempt to board the early SAT-
Lake Overland for Los Angeles. On
getting sight of the officers automo-
bile, the man fed toward the Ter
quesulte Arroyo and failed to halt for
a shot. He returned the fire and es-
capped by hiding in the tall grass.
Late this afternoon he was discov-
cred in an orange grove, and was
made the target for three more shots,
none of which took effect. At night
fall hope was abandoned Of capturing
the fellow, as the officers had no way
Of tracing his movements. 1t is be-
lieved he has again made his way to
the negro colony and is again secreted.

MANY PERSONS EMPLOYED
IN GATHERING GRAPE CROP
Sultanas Will Be Converted Into Wine
and MLscats Dried for
Raisins

ONTARIO, Sept. 25--The grape
crop is now receiving attention. Many
persons are being employed in pick
ing the fruit and hauling it to the
wineries or putting it on the trays to
dry The price offered for grapes is
extremely low, and the growers are
protesting vigorously. The wineries
are offering but 81 per ton.
All the Sultana crop will be con-
verted into wine, most of the Mus

part of the latter variety, however, is
being used in making grape juice,
there being two companies for that
purpose in this section. The new
winery at West Cucamonga, part Of
