NJ EW YORK, Dec. 16.-Dificulties in
~ the way of the proposed aviation
~ meet at Los Angeles next month
probably will be removed by todays
announcement that the two aviation
organizations of California have united
in favor of the project.
TIE Aero club of America, the parent
organization, received today tele-
gram from the Aero club of California
which said:
"PIease sanction Los Angeles meet We
are behind t."
Charles Hartman, secretary of the
Aero club of America, who gave out
this news, said the Aviation society OF
California, the original promoter or the
Los Angeles meet, asked for the sane
tion Of the national organization two
days ago.
Because the petitioner was new or
canization and not affiliated with the
Aero club of America, the latter hesi-
tated to grant it's request believing
any event of this kind in Los Angeles
should be backed by the Aero club OF
california, which is affiliated with the
rational body.
The message from the Aero club OF
California was forwarded to Cortland
Rishop. president of the Aero club OF
America, who Is i'm Massachusetts,, ana
he will consult the directors of the or
eaniZation before sending formal sane
tion to the Los Angeles promoters.
II .is believed, however that TINS
sanction viii be granted.

FERRIS HARTMAN TO
AID AVIATION WEEK
All Hands Busy to Make Success OF
One of Biggest Meets Ever
Held in United
States

Although certain of crowded house
for the matinee of 1.-THE TCymaker' at
the Grand opera house next Thursday,
Ferris Hartman is evincing his interest
in the success of Aviation week by
agreeing to give the Aviation week
committee every cent of the receipts
from that performance. The offer has
been accepted by the committee with
thanks, and Muggins Davies, the popu-
lar. little soubrette, says she will dance
and sing with extra grace and Vigor on
that day.
The famous comic opera, which is
Hartmans characteristic tribute to the
holidays, will give him an opportunity
to manufacture some special evidence
about what will happen during Avia-
tion week; and where the opportunity
does not exist Hartman will crowd 1t
in, for like everybody else who takes
special interest in Los Angeles he is
an enthusiast about the great .midwin-
ter sky-scratching planned from Jan
uary 10 to 20.
Another contribution which will be
also gratefully acknowledged by the
because of it's special mean
ing was check of 500 from Col. d. G.

HEROIC ENGINEER SAVES
LIVES OF PASSENGERS
Hangs to Demolished Cab and Reaches
Through Steam to Brake Lever,
Then Falls Unconscious

CLAR<SON, Ga, Dec. 16-The he
roism of Engineer E. Davis of the
Georgia Central fast mail, who, whi e
hanging to the outside of the cab of
his engine which was running at a
speed of fifty miles an hour, stuck his
hand through a veritable caldron of
scalding steam until he found the
emergency brake and stopped his train,
probably saved the lives of a hundred
passengers Tuesday
Just before the train reached here
driving rod of the engine broke,
knocking the fireman unconscious and
almost demolishing the cab Escap-
ing steam poured from the broken
pipes into the cab and before Davis
could reach the emergency brake he
was driven from his seat by the heat.
Nevertheless he clung to the outside of
the cab until he had grasped the lever
and stopped the train, when he fell un
conscious from his perilous position.

Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Capt. B. S.
Osbon of this city, secretary of the
Arctic club, has written Capt. Joseph
E. BerniCr and others that Capt. Aug
ust w. Loose's story of his dealings
with Dr. Cook, as published in New
York paper, was concocted for sale
without regard to the truth.
In the presence of Witnesses said
Captain Osbon tonight, Il heard Loose
say: L was out for the money, and l
did not care how / got it,
Captain Osbon does not believe that
Loose narrative, as supported ny ills
afnuaVit was part of any plot 10 as
credit DIR. Cook.
",rhe idea originated with Loose and
Dunkle," said captain Osbon. They
had for sale matter in the controversy
so explosive that nobody dared hanuie
it, Dunk!e was the promoter, Loose.
the workman.
ALSO, Dunkle got most of the money
SO Loose says, and now he is casting
around to see where he stands. His
conscience smarts.
Il wrote these facts in private let
ter to Captain Bernier and others, and
their premature publication may spoil
what would nave been complete docu-
mentary proof of my assertions, sworn
to before a notary.
Fails to Appear
Loose had an appointment today to
sign confession. He did not appear,
and now he has just twenty-four hours
grace.
IF he does not sign tomorrow the
substance of the confession, then 1t will
be printed from notes and conversations
ON which it is based"
Captain Osbon said the person who
had obtained and drafted the confess
sion was a shipowner. former en-
ployer of Loose and "a man who had
personal influence with him.
How did this man prevail on Loose
to confess?" was asked.
"He told Loose straight out" said
the captain, that Loose was playing
checkers with his own nose
Captain Osbon does not deny that
DR.. Cook and Loose had business deal
ings and that money passed between
them, but he said:
II know enough shipmates of the doc
tor who went into the Antarctic with
him to be sure the doctor needed mo-
body to fabricate observations with
him. No doubt he set problems fer
Loose by which to check his own call
culations."
Neither Loose nor Dunllle could be
found tonight.

A Jackson street resort presented a
typical instance. Entrance was gained
through an apparently respectable

ground floor to the basement was
winding stairway which ended in a
small ante-room. The investigators
were confronted by a heavily barred
door, equipped with a peek hole
through which a lookout could scru-
tinize any visitor.
Through this door they gained ac-
cess to a larger room, where the
watchman could make further inquiry
before permitting prospective patrons
to pass. Once past the first outpost,
visitors were conducted along an un-

stairs to another ante-room, where
final examination was made. From
this ante-room a stairway led down
to the main resort, which was
equipped as a gambling house, saloon

means of egress in case of a raid and
a method of communication between

the throne. was born at Brussels AprlI
o, 1897. His father was the prince OF
Sake Coburg- Gotha and his mother
Princess Louise, daughter of king
Louis Philippe of France.
On August -, 1858, he married Arch-
duchess Marie Henrietta, daughter OF
Archduke Joseph of Austria. She died
September 10, 1902. Three daughters
were born of this union-Louise, Steph-
anie and Clementine. The two elder
princesses have been estranged from
their father, but Clementine remained
in his affections.
In lieu of a direct hereditary heir, the
crown passes to Prince Albert. the only
son of Leopold's brother, the late Phil
ippe, count of Flanders. The new mon
arch was bornSon April 8, 1875, and on
October 2. 1900 married Princess Eliza
beth of Bavaria They have three chill
dren-Prnce Leopold, s years old;
Prince Charles, years of age, ana
Princess Marie Jose, years old
Prince Albert is one of the most
popular members of the reigning house
of Belgium. His wife is equally popu-
lar. their home life being such as to
attract the love of the people. Prince
Albert has travelled extensively and is
a man of affairs. In appearance he is
strikingly like the late king, but their
dispositions and temperaments have al
ways been in marked contrast.
Student of Politics
Prince Albert has been a great stu
dent of politics and economics, and has
frequently lectured on these subjects
He has visited the United States and
other countries, always studying and
always adding to his store of knewl-
edge and philosophy.
Another side. of the new king appeals
to popular fancy. He dearly loves clean
and healthy sport. He is an accom-
plished horseman, enjoys motoring, ana
has taken a flight or two in dirigible
balloon.
In his intercourse with others he is
most gracious. His frank good ma
tured face bespeaks intelligence and
invites confidence Democratic i'm his
tastes and manners. he is nevertheless
a man of firm decision and kingly dig
nifty.
While always conspicuous before the
public on account of the nature of his
private life, particularly in recent
years, King Leopold has latterly had
much of the world against him on
account of his attitude towards the
Congo independent state, of which he
was practically the founder and its
ruling sovereign.
The Congo free state in Western
Africa was the successor of the Inter-
national African association estab-
Iished by Leopold and organized by
stanley In 1888 Leopold was consti-
tuted it's sovereign.

II RUSSELS, Dec. liking Leopold
X died at 2:35 O'Clock this morning
- his aged and wasted body being
unable longer to stand the strain.
The collapse occurred suddenly at a
moment when the doctors seemingly
had the greatest hope for his recovery.
Throughout yesterday bulletins issued
from the sick room indicated progress
sive Improvement The bulletin post
ed at $50 o'clock gave the kings tenn
perature, pulse and respiration as prac-
tically normal.
Apparently the drainage of the
wound was perfect, as no fever was
present all day The king had been
able to take nourishment,
The public at large was satisfied that
the king was ON the road to recovery
but within the pavilion where the king
lay there was a feeling of anxiety,
chiefly because of Leopold's great age.
After a restful day the patient was
able to sleep for a brief period early
i'm the evening and the night passed
quietly.
But toward 2 o'clock alarming symp-
tomstoms appeared. Suddenly the
king turned and called to Doctor Thir-
lar:
Calls for Help
"J'etouffe, docteur, Jetouffe!' "Q am
suffocating.D
Doctor De Page was summoned ana
the two physicians did everything pos
sible to prolong life, but without avail.
The end came quickly and after aspen
of weakness, peacefully.
Prince Albert arrived at the deathbed
about twenty-five minutes later. He
was accompanied by Princess Clemen
tine. Albert kissed the dead king and
left the chamber weeping.
Baron Coffinet, the kings secretary,
started Immediately for Brussels to no
tify the royal family. AS he was en- =
tering his motor car he exclaimed:
ITO think that only yesterday we
were still full of confidence, and now
the ing is dead
1t appears the doctors were totally
unprepared for fatal termination. 1t
was a nun acting as nurse VINO nrst
noticed the heavy breathing of the king.
She called Doctor Thiriar to the bed
side Doctors Thiriar and De Page
resorted to injections of morphine, but
these had no effect
Soon after the end had come the min
listers were notified The first official
to arrive at the death chamber was the
oval chaplain. The ministers remained
in the chamber for considerable time,
discussing in subdued tones the sudden
death and matters of state.
