BUILDING AND LOAN
FIRMS ARE SCORED
JUDGE SAYS THEY GIVE POOR
MEN NO CHANCE
Court at San Diego Holds Plaintiff
Had No Business Getting Domi-
ciIe of Investment AS
sociation

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 20.-That a poor
man has little salvation in securing
a home free from debt at the hands of
building and loan associations, is the
opinion of the appellate court in a de-
cision handed down today, granting a
new trial to the Continental Building
and Loan association of San Francisco,
which lost an action brought against
it in the Fresno county superior court
by Simon w. Henry to recover title
to his home, which he had mortgaged
for $1100.
After making a declaration that there
was not evidence in the case to JUS
tify the allegation of fraud, Appellate
Justice Hart states:
"On the face of the transactions con-
cerned in this litigation it may appear
that the plaintiff exercised very poor
judgment in adopting a building and
loan association as the instrumentaIity
through which to secure for himself a
home"
Continuing. the opinion says:
Il do not feel any reluctance in de-
claring that it is my judgment that the
authorized business methods of build
ing and loan associations do not war
rant the belief that such concerns offer
the easiest opportunity to the poor
man, for whose benefit the law govern
ing the conduct of such institutions
was undoubtedly formed and enacted,
to secure home free from the burdens
of debit

Great Future for Air Craft
from United States
IBy Associated Press.l

DAU, France, Feb. 2O.-King
Alfonso of Spain today wit
l.. messed two successful aero
plane flights by the Wright broth
ers, after which he entertained ?
Wilbur and Orville Wright, Hart
o. Berg, their European business
manager, and the mayor of Pau at
luncheon.
1t had been generally supposed
his majesty would take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to be
the first sovereign to make a trip
in an aeroplane, but the king had
promised Queen Victoria not to
go aloft, and he kept his pledge.
The weather was ideal and Will
bur Wright made splendid flight
of twenty-eight minutes.
He circled in figure within
a short radius, then flew high in
the air, only to come down and
skim over the ground.
Finally the machine took the
direction of the race course and
was lost sight of. Fourteen mi
nutes later it reappeared, coming
from the opposite direction.
During the flight the king re-
marked he did not think aeroplane
flying as dangerous as automobil-
ing.
When the machine had come to
earth King Alfonso congratulated
Mr.. Wright heartily, and upon the
invitation of the American he oc-
cupied the passengers seat while
the proud inventor explained his
machine in detail.
The king then suggested a
flight with a passenger, and Will
bur Wright took up Count de
Lambert for thirteen minutes,
leaving the entire direction of the
machine to the passenger.
His majesty predicted great
future for the areoplane.
