GIVEN LIQUOR PERMIT
Hosiery Management Presents Petit
ton Signed by Citizens of Precinct,
and Supervisors Change from
Previous Decision
Especial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO, July 12,-At a
meeting of the board Of supervisors
this afternoon the Arrowhead hotel
was again granted a table liquor IL
cense.
Manager Seth Marshall of the hotel
presented the petition which he has
circulated among the voters of the
Arrowhead precinct and which was
signed by forty-three residents out of
the sixty-one, and Supervisors Glover
and Pine Immediately switched over
from the opposition and voted with
Reid and West to grant the applica-
ton which they had previously re-
fused to give the hotel people. Super
visor Horton alone voted against the
allowing of the license.
Chairman Reid, who from the start
has been favorable to granting the
application, said, in supporting the
measure, that it would be an unjust
discrimination against the resort to re-
fuse to allow the serving of liquor at
meals when every other tourist hotel
in Southern California had that priVi-
lege.

MADE AT FORT MYER
0RVILLE WRIGHT SAILS FOR
FIVE MINUTES
Short Test Trip of Army Aeropane
Witnessed by Two Thousand
Enthusiastic Spec
tators

WASHINGTON, July II, - Orville
Wright this afternoon made a success
full flight in the aeroplane at Fort Myer,
remaining in the air five minutes, dur
ing which time the airship attained a
speed of forty miles an hour and circle1
the parade ground half a dozen times,
making a total distance of three and
one-half miles.
Mr. Wright concluded not to proloug
the trial because the motor of the ma
chine, which had just been repaired,
was not working perfectly.
He was applauded by 200O spectators,
who had waited for one and a hall
hours for the breeze to die down suffi-
GENTLY to permit a fight.
After passing the crowd the sixth
time the aviator descended easily and
alighted with no apparent jar
The Wrghts intend to make only
short flights until the new bearings
have become worn down and the pro-
pelling motor is working perfectly
Then they will make the official test
to meet conditions prescribed by the
government.

 Fire away replied the, conductor.
 The man made several passes be- fore the conductors face.
 Now you are hypnotized," he said.
 The conductor looked the part as best he could.
 You're a conductor" the hypnotist said
 That's right" replied the victim.
 You're a good conductor" went on the hypnotist.
 Right again said the conductor.
 You don't smoke. drink or swear at passengers. You are honest. You turn in all tickets and money you collect from passengers. In fact. You do not steal a cent"
 That's right asserted the con- ductor
 The hypnotist eyed him a moment and then said:
