Orders Flood Wright Brothers,
Who Cannot Supply Demand.
AN INQUIRY FROM ICELAND.

Shah Of Persia Also Wants an Aero
pIane-Eishty Airships Ordered In
Ameriea-Chinese Mandarin Wants
ons-Many Applying For Instruction
In Flying.
More than eighty orders for airships
to be used In the United States are
now In the hands of the Wright broth
ers. Orville and Wilbur. Since their
demonstration of heir ability to han
die their aeroplanes with safety and
to teach others how to do so they have
beer flooded with letters asking for
terms for the building of the machines
and instruction In flying. The branch
of the International Aero club which
was organized at Dayton, o., recently
for the purpose of exercising some
supervision over prospective users of
heavier than air devices has received
many applications for membership,
some of which have come from well
known men Of wealth throughout the
United States. For the present their
names are kept secret by the wrights.
The American orders. however. are
only a part of those that are coming
In the heavy mail of the inventors.
New OF their achievements has pene-
trated to far parts of the world. From
Iceland I'm the last few days has come
an Inquiry as to the cost OF delivering
an aeroplane and sending an Instructor
to that far northern island. The shah
Of Persia, perhaps remembering one
occasion when he had to escape from
his palace by stealth and desiring to
have a new device TO defeat the revo-
l~utionaries. has asked hat a machine
be constructed for him as soon as pos
sible. A Chinese mandarin who is
one Of the leaders I'm the awakening of
that empire To western civilization
has also sent an order.
The Wrights will be Unable to fill all
their orders because their factory Is
too small for the work. They will en-
large its capacity greatly this summer
and hope TO be able to meet all de
mands made upon them. Another
trouble they are having Is in obtain
ing n sufficient quantity Of steel of the
exact grade TO keep the present fac
tory working up to capacity. They are
~endeavoring To make rangement
with steel mills TO make them a sup
ply in future. but are having some diff
fculty in doing SO.
That the operations of the Wrights
need not be restricted for want of
capital is shown by the fact that they
have refused an offer since their re-
turn for the investment Of a large
sum In their enterprise. This offer
came from well known New York
capitalists, who believed that the oper-
atoms Of the Wrights Should be great
ly enlarged. They declared, however.
that they had sufficient money of their
own to carry on their work.

FASHION VERSUS BEAUTY.
Boston Sculptor Tells How Female
Form Is Being Ruined


That woman's figure has been ruined
by slavery to fashion is the declaration
of Hugh Gains. the Boston sculptor.
He says:
"Woman's figure is getting poorer
and poorer every year. The women of
today are getting farther and farther
away from the Greek figure of 1000
years ago.
"As n instance of this, those who
determine what is fashionable are try
ing TO bring the waist line farther
down all the time. At present an eff
fort is being made TO get il down as
low rs the hips. This is all wrong, OF
course. for nature long z determined
that 1t should be just below the breast.
allowing n soft. graceful line from hip
to armpit- So long as fashion dictates
that the waist shall be close TO the
hips, so long Will we have women with
bullying. lumpy hips and other deform-
tiles.
IF women would have just such i
waist as they ek-th beautiful that
we see in classic paintings and sculp-
ture, the waist that characterized the
ancient Gree w~oman-let them avoid
fashions"

Lone Star State is Selling Lands in
the Disputed Strip of Half a
Million Acres.

Austin, Tex. July 26-The general
land office of Texas continues to sell
land in the disputed strip between
Texas and New Mexico on western
edge of the Panhandle. running
the entire length of the handle. The
strip is 800 miles long extending from
the extreme northern edge of the
state down TO where the boundary
line starts west. Several applications
were filed i'm the and Office to buy
land in the strip and the sales we're
made. New Mexico is protesting and
claims the strip of land as her own.
The Texas land Office has several
times requested the legislature to ap-
propriate funds to survey the boun-
Diary and establish the line, in con-
Junction with the federal government
New Mexico still being a territory.
The legislature has not made the APP
preparation and the federal govern
nelt. apparently will not undertake
the survey alone and without the
state of Texas having representation
so the final adjustment would be sat
isfactory.
AT least $50. 900 acres are involved
in the dispute. The strip is three
miles VIDE al tne upper emu, SUI
miles away. AS al average of az
miles in width, the total would be
$50 square miles and there are $40
acres to a square mile. At present
the land sought is in Andrews, Gaines
and Yoakum counties, on the strip
which is three miles wide. 1t is aiu
by those who have been over the land
that IL is apparently a san waste
but water is found e the surface
and corn grows splendidiy. Since
the discovery there has been a brisk
demand for the property.
The discrepancy originated in err
oneou surveys. The boundary line
is supposed to follow the 103 merid-
ian. but IL is insisted in New Mexico
the surveyors went of the merid-
ian thereby taking in land rightfully
belonging to New Mexico. Accord
ing u the contention the line is west
of the meridian three miles at the up
per end. Monuments now mark the
boundary and it is whiting the mark
ers Texas is selling land. Purchasers
understand the risk they take.

EVELYN MAY SUE HARRY
E0n - NE

White Plains, N. Y, July Solar
ry X. rhaw exhibited interest today
in the report hat Evelyn Thaw in
tended TO bring suit for divorce, based
ON the revelations in h present trial.
After denying that he had received
any official notice of such a suit.
Charles Morschauser counsel foI
Thaw, declared that Thaw would fight
the suit if one be brought. Mrs. Thaw
has no cause for a divorce" he said.
She always has been well treated.
AT present she receives $4,000 a year
from the rhaw family"
Morschauser claimed that the EVE
lations of Susan Merrill that Thaw
logged a naked woman in her lodg-
ing house, on which whipping the di-
vorce suit. IL is said. will be based,
has not been substantiated.
Thaw took the stand with an air
which showed calm confidence in his
previous showing and an assurance
that Thaw was a match for Jerome.
Jerome continued the examination
along the lines as to Thaw's own
ideas as to his mental condition, con-
trasting his answers with the state
ments of fourteen ~alienists. Thaw
chung to the phrase that he was not
medically insane, though he might
have been legally insane when he
shot White. He admitted that some
of the physicians hight have been
right; others, he said. were mistaken
and one had wilfully presented a dis
torted verdict.
What do o mean when you say
-, - I.-.Ir~ .an. 80 4-I-DI $1,000
Il am OF the opinion as of all medi-
cal men who examined ne in the last
three year that am now sane and
in no danger of a recurrence of my
trouble. Thaw also denied that he
had ever rented rooms at Mrs. Mer-
rill's house.
Jerome asked about the story that
Thaw scalded a girl in a bath tub,
and had taken a girl named Ruth Ian
bert ~automobiling in Paris, bringing
her back naked and covered with
yelts.
They are crazy lies" said Thaw
contemporary.
The tales of his cruelty in his early
youth. and of beating a boy and driv-
ing a horse to death were also denied.
He explained that his relatives in
their zeal to save him on the insanity
plea may have exaggerated mere ru-
mors.
Were you not called Mad Harry"
asked jerome.
Yes. and have heard you called
crazy Jerome. but l don't think you
are insane" answered Thaw.
Justice Mills then questioned Thaw
as to whether his beliefs regarding
the practices of White with young
women were honest.
Distinctly yes" answered Thaw.
He said he had now found out his mis-
take in some Instances. but that the
stories were corroborated by Anthony
Comstock. who said he had unmistak-
able proof.
why don't you trust Mr.. Morschau-
ser and you other lawyers. Do you
feel all the time hat you can con
duct this case better han they?"
No sir. except perhaps in the case
of Mr.. H~artridge."

BY JAY DAVIDSON

The remarkable spectacle of a ID
year-old mare winning a race IN SEN
sational time from horses younger ana
credited with being more speedy was
presented Yesterday afternoon at San
ia Anita park when Aunt Polly the
oldest thoroughbred racing today, gal
Toned all the way from barrier to wire
in the first race, stepping the hVe ana
a half furlongs in 1:05 1-5. 1t was no
horse race as far as she was concerned,
as she went to the front at the start
and stayed there, galloplng an lne
wav. Laudable was second and work
and Play was third.
Aunt Polly was fourteen years OLD
last New Years day, and has o-year-
old. son also in the racing business
She was entirely overlooked IN tne Del peI-
ting except by Logan Denny ana JACK
Humbrecht, who took supreme dellghl
in playing her straight and snow at eA-
tremely long prices. When she piohS
in front she never gave her pachei

silver Line, a we'll played long shot
that was brought south a Jew Gays
ago by Joe Schneider, had no dlttlculty
whatever in winning the second race
at nine furlongs, beating MonVlna anu
Toe Coyne with great ease. MISS MAJ
zoni was played like the result already
had been announced, but she had pad
luck and never gave any evidence OF
ANYTHING approaching speed.
Ida May very consistently rewarded
her hackers in the third race by win
ming lust as she pleased from John
Louis and Edwin It. Fryer at mile
in 1:3S4-5 She was an odds-on taVor-
lite and fully justified the odds.
Shirley Rossmore turned a somer-
SAINT when she came from behind and
outgamed Pho Pico in hard drive at
the wire in the fifth race at 612 tur-
longs. Shirley never had been accused
of anything like gameness heretofore,
but she was last to leave the post anu
then came on and won, spelling many
a handsome betting coup that did not
coup. Toller was close up at the wire,
but landed only the short end of the
purse. 100.
AL Dunlap put over another good
thing when Mauretania won the sixth
race from Grace G, the heavily played
favorite, at furlongs. 1t was Archi-
balds good ride that made her win,
and Dunlap and John Brink profited
handsomely by the close finish in their
favor. Sorrowful was third.
Logistilla, the legitimate favorite in
the last race, came from behind as
usual and won in a tight fit at the
wire, beating Financier in the final

SANTA MONICA ROAD
CHOSEN BY DEALERS
Shelter and Ruess Withdraw Their
Majority Report Favoring San
Fernando Course and MI.
nority Prevails

The Santa Monica course" as it will
henceforth be officially known, was FOR
mally and unanimously adopted at last
evenings meeting of the Automobile
Dealers association of Southern Call
fornia in the offices of President w. Il.
Bush. This action was taken after the
very graceful step of the majority
members of the special road race COM
mittee was announced, withdrawing
the majority report of the committee
signed by Leon I. Shelter and William
Ruess-and thus paving the way for
the adoption of the minority report
made by Ralph c. Hamlin, which ad-
vocated the Santa Monica course.
The course is eight and two-tenths
miles to the lap over Nevada avenue to
Ocean front, thence to San Vicente bou-
levard and along this boulevard to the
place of beginning, near the Soldiers
home. The committee will prepare and
submit regulations governing the race
association next Tuesday evening,
April 13.
The consensus of opinion of the deal
ers present was that there should be
two events, as advocated by Secretary
Conwell through these columns in sun
DAVIS issue, one event for moderate
priced cars and one for the battleships
or high priced, mile-a-minute cars. This
classification will doubtless be gov
erned by the piston displacement of the
respective cars, fair line of demarka-
ton being agreed to as between the
two types of machines. The committee
has a mass of suggestions along this
line from which it will formulate regu-
lations as nearly as possible to conform
to the varying ideas of the individual

CRICKET PLAYING
TO Be FOSTERED
ANGELEN0S WILL ENDEAv0R
TO DEVELOP SPORT
CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS FOR
COMING SEASON
Three Teams Will BE Formed and
Games with Players of other
Cities Straightforward
Improved

The Los Angeles Cricket club held a
meeting last night at SIT South Broad
way and elected officers for the season
of 1909, as follows:
President, John Alton; vice president
and treasurer, Edward Bird; secretary,
q. f. Gadsden; captain, L. d. Bam-
ford; vice captain, C. E. Packman;
committee, j. w. Heavens, c. Brown,
j. McComb and j. A. Roden.
The object of the meeting was to
foster cricket in Southern California
during the summer months, starting
with the first practice game Sunday
and continuing until the latter part of
September. The club is considerably
stronger than in previous years, hav-
ing total membership of over 100.
Arrangements are being made for
contest between the north and the
south. Clifton, Ariz., will be one of
the Los Angeles contestants also.
The club will, as last season, be d.
vided into three teams-the Wander
ers, Marlebones and the Zingaris. The
selection committee will act on the
strength of these clubs as soon as the
new members have been tried out, as
there are several dark horses among
them.
The regular league will be started the
first Sunday in May and will continue
to the end of the season. Dates have
not as yet been fixed for the Southern
California trophies between Santa
Monica and Los Angeles. Santa Mon
lea won the cup last season, but Los
Angeles has two victories to its credit
and expects to annex the cup this
season.
The club grounds at Vineyard sta
ton have been placed in excellent
shape. Four acres have been plowed
and rolled.
This is the fourth season of the Los
Angeles Cricket club.
Letters have been received from some
of the fast eastern teams regarding
the class of games played on the Pa
cific coast, and the possibility of ar
ranging matches to be played by crack
teams from the east touring the west
ern states.
The eastern cricket clubs, particu-
larly Philadelphia, include talent that
has made it very interesting for some
of the first-class county teams in the
old country and at the present time the
west could give an eastern aggrega-
ton hard run for honors.
