SELECTING A COURSE

SEVERAL SITES IN VIEW

Favor Potomac Park.
FINE PLACE FOR LONG FLIGHTS

Trouble to Care for Crowds.
FINE PLACE FOR LONG FLIGHTS

The committee OF the Washington Aero
Club that Is preparing to meet Glenn
Curtiss and CORTLAND Field Bishop.
president of the Aero Club in the prelim-
mary discussion of WaShington's adapta-
billy as the site of the next aviation
carnival is going more deeply into the
question of flying courses than into any
thing else. They feel that the merits OF
Washington an International center of
Interest hardly need discussion, also that
the city's ability to take care of any sort
OF crowd has been too often proven at
inauguratfons and other times to need
much argument, and the assurances OF
the Chamber of Commerce and of Balti
more, and Norfolk business men make 1t
quite clear that there will be no trouble
about the money end of the affair. Almost
the only question that has been seriously
discussed by the members of the club
Is what is the best place around Wash
lngton TO hold the contest.
Vance Thompson, who is a pretty good
judge of Europe, says that the field at
Bethany outside of Rheims was an ex-
Ceptionally fine piece of territory, one OF
the finest in France, for the aero races,
but the accommodate tons at Rheims were
OF the scantiest, and the visitors We're
hard put to find cover for their heads at
night, even at exorbitant prices.
Caring for the Crowds.
In view of this trouble and the similar
trouble that the crowds are now ex-
periencing in New York, the members of
the committee have seriously discussed
some scheme of registration whereby
part at least of the hotels and boarding
houses will keep their prices within a
semblance of reason
But this feature is aside from the main
problem of picking the best field where
the meet could be held. The business
men of Baltimore have expressed them
selves frequently in favor Of College Park,
mainly because that point has been Sc
lected by the government for its training
flights with TIL. Wright aeroplane and
because it is on the Baltimore side Of
Washington. The members of the club.
however. who have been over all the
grounds are rather favorable to the PO-
tonac Park. They point out that that is
only about ten miles further from Balti-
more than College Park and is just that
much nearer to Norfolk, hes des having
the advantage of being government ground
and having a water front whence the
water trials of the machines could be
watched. 1t is pointed out that water
flights are likely to form an important
part of the contests of 1910 largely be-
cause the navies Of the world are SO much
interested in getting a good water ma
chine.

The verdict surprises the state de-

for failure to promptly settle the is
sues growing out of this and other
cases involving the maltreatment OF
American seamen. Rand was dubbed
handcuffed and dragged through the

He brands as a rank take all pic

Henson, Peary's eolored lieutenant

reached the pole with Peary said last
night:
I'VE arrived at the pole at noon
April 6, the party consisting of the
commander, myself. four Eskimos and
thirty-six dogs. Having completed
our snow houses, we had dinner, in.
GLIDING tea made over our alcohol
stove, then we retired and slept one
night at the pole. Flags were hoisted
at noon the next day on tent poles
tied with fish lines.
''When we first raised the American
flag its position was behind IgIoos,
which according to the initial obser-
yations was the position of the pole,
but after subsequent observation the
flag was moved to a !, ace $50 yards
west of the first position l proposed
in Eskimo three cheers which were
given in the Eskimos tongue. Peary
shook hands all around, we had a
liberal dinner The Eskimos danced
and showed pleasure that the pole
was reached.
Henson said that conditions were
about the same at the pole as else
where in the arctic circle All solid
ice but two foot lead to open water
two miles from the pole. Henson said
he saw Peary write the records left
in the ice Flags We're placed on

London, Sept. 16.-The report that
Peary and Bartlett have decided on a
south pole expedition has created a
stir here. A siderable portion OF
the funds for Captain SCOTS expedi-
tion has been promised. and there is
little doubt that the report that
Peary is likely to start for the south
pole will hasten the subscription of
the remainder.
