New York City.-How high must
an aviator fly to be safe from the con-
sequences of illegal trespass? and
a great many other questions, not
burning now but considered as soon
to be hot ones, were treated by Lyt-
tleton Fox, lawyer, in an address to
members of the Aero Club of Amer
lea. The answer was that +he aviator
would have to be out of sight. He
must dodge the police.
The old Roman law which gives to
the owner of land absolute ownership
also of the air above it is responsible
for this. The law must b. changed,
he added, or the courts viii be ruin
ously congested. AS matters stand,
there having been no chances in the
law for several hundred years, a man
in flying machine has no rights that
a man with a plow is bound to re-
spect. The question is how best to
bring the attention of the judicial
system to this unfair discrimination
against the flying portion of the race.
M man can fly as things now stand
without technically breaking the law,
unless he gets special privileges from
the landowners.
1t is a problem that bristles with
novelty, says Mr.. Fox. In the event
of pedestrians being hit by ginger
pop bottles dropped by the passing
aviator or by other objects, includ-
ing he aviator himself, the man be-
low would have redress at law. Mr..
Fox believes the Aero Club should
urge the Wright brothers, for in
stance, to consent to be sued by the
owner of land over which they have
flown (and thereby trespassed), so
as to bring the whole subject before
the courts for settlement. The suit
should be friendly one, he said, the
object being to modify, If possible,
the law of aerial trespass. Another
way might be to condemn the air by
legal procedure, and thus knock over
the historical fossil.
A discussion that followed the ad-
dress of the evening resulted in the
members arriving at the firm belief
that the air should be considered a
highway, and there was preliminary
talk concerning an attempt at legis-
lative Enactment
To avert suits for aerial trespass
Mr.. Fox suggests that the State con-
denim and buy a stratum of air as a
highway for flying machines. The
fact that Count Lambert in his flight
across Paris violated a police regula-
tion forbidding aeroplaning over the
city shows that the French have al
ready applied the law to cover one
phase of the question. BY leaving
the aerodrome for his Paris flight
Lambert incurred a penalty of S4;

WHO OWNS THE AIR?
Pressing Problem That Must Be Settled at Once Whether an
Aviator Has the Right Of Way Over Private Property, the
Ownership Of Which in Every Case, According to the
Old Roman Law, Extends Upward Indefinitely

at the Rheims meet an aviator was
fined for reckless driving.
The military airship will necessi-
tate new provisions in international
law to meet the new problems of in
ternational relations which it will
raise. France has now seven air.
ships, Germany eleven and Italy five
in course of construction. Given
fleet of Zeppelins arriving unan-
nounced above a British port, will
the act constitute a cause of war?
If the aeroplane develops the power
to carry explosives for dropping on
an enemy's fleet, will the practice be
permitted under the rules of war?
The interesting fact in connection
with the suggested regulation of air
travel is that it is already made nec-
essary by an invention only yesterday
in its infancy which threatens a re-
vision of the statute books along with
it's revolution of traffic.
In advocating arrangements for a
test suit, Mr.. Fox seems to believe
that after the existing legal status of
an aerial trespasser has once been
clearly outlined the law may be so
modified that the air will be pro-
nounced public highway. Legisla-
tion of that kind, however, would be
unfortunate if it were not very accur-
ately limited. There is wide differ
ence between navigation of the sea
and navigation of the air. If trans
atlantic steamship is badly handled
those who are on board her may
suffer, and she may iniure an
other craft which is on the same
level. There is practically no chance,
however. that she will harm anybody
or anything directly under her. at the
bottom of the ocean. She can discard
ashes, ballast or any other material
without fear of doing mischief. If such
things are dropped from an airship.
there will always be possibility of
danger-a danger which is enhanced
by the temperamental characteristics
of those who engage in aerial naviga-
tion for sport.
Editorially the New York Times
says:
will the invasion of the air by
aeroplanes be repelled by suits for
trespass?
1--WE think not. The first success
full human fight made the air q high
way-a possibility not contemplated
in the Roman law. Besides, there can
be no effective possession of the upper
air by land owner. Where possess
sion neither is nor has been, there
should be no ownership. At any rate.
this is assumed in Germany and
Switzerland, which have passed stat
utes establishing rules of the aerial
road"

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.

II. G. Dun G. Cos s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Renewed buying of rolling stock
hy the railroads is the conspicuous
development of the week in the iron
and steel trade Reports indicate
that orders are being placed with
some urgency and that considerable
new business is under negotiation.
Activity at steel works is reflected in
continued heavy purchases of pig
iron at many points and further ad-
vances in prices are announced. One
contract for 10000 tons of Bessemer
at $19 is reported. The structural
shops are receiving a moderate
amount of new business.
Trade in dry goods shows steady
gains and the higher prices in the
primary markets, forced by the sus-
tanned high cost of raw material, are
now quite freely paid. Trading in
white cloths continues active and
prices are fully on a level with the
cotton market. Export trade is lin
tied by the higher prices"
Bradstreet's says:
Improvement is the order of the
day in trade, collections and indus
try. Colder weather. freezing tenn
perature, light SHOWS or killing
frosts, coupled with freer crop move
ment, have helped retail trade and
collections at the West and North
west, while lower temperatures and
high prices and free marketing of
cotton have helped distribution at
the South Jobbing trade has been
coincidently benefited by reordering
to fill broken stocks, and the dis
tributive trade side accordingly pre-
sents very favorable appearance. ."

LAWYERS And Doctors.

Most lawyers take a keen delight
trying to confuse medical experts in
the witness box in muder trials, and
often they get paid back in their

A case is recalled where the law
ser, after exercising all his puzzling
tactics without effect, looked quiz
zically at the doctor who was testify
ing and said:
"You will admit that doctors
sometimes make mistakes, won't
you?"
"0h, yes; the same as lawyers"
was the cool reply.

yer's triumphant reply.
