CITIES OF THE, WEST
WANT AERIAL EVENTS
Hope to Capture International Meet
and Gordon Bennett Dirigible
Balloon Race.

While Washington is busy. i'll its effort
to secure the next aviation meet the cities
of the west are after that event well
as the Gordon Bennett balloon race. II
is understood. however. that these meets
will not occur together and that the bal
loon race will go to the west. either to
Denver or ST Louis, and that the avia-
ton meet will be held on the Atlantic
coast. This is largely for the benefit of
the foreign aviators and is to save them
the long trip with their machines into
the interior.
The balloon race will be held some time
in October of 1910. Denver is making a
strong bid for it and is geogra phically
well situated, but may be barred because
of the high altitude and the unreliable air
currents. An investigation as to the
specific gravity Of its gas and the amount
available is now being made

Kansas City Wants Both.

Kansas City is also making an effort
to secure both the balloon race and the
aviation meet. but it is declared to bs
wrongly situated geographically for the
latter and its gas is of low quality for
balloon use.

der to get the aviation meet, and stock
company is suggested with a capital of
this amount, of which one-haf is TO con-
stitute a prize fund. Reimbursement

ONE CENTRAL AMERICA
REVIVAL OF SENTIMENT FOR
CONSOLIDATED GOVERNMENT.
John Barrett Believes That Five
Republics Will Ultimately Form
Strong Organic Union.

TOLEDO. Ohio, December 1s-John
Barrett. director of the international bu-
reau of American republics. made a sig
nual meeting of the chamber of com.
merce.
He suggested the consolidation of the
five Central American republics into ono
strong federation as n possible solution
for the present difficulties in Central
America.
AS the director of the bureau or Amer
lean republics, Mr.. Barrett IS an in
ternational officer. and represents all OF
the Latin-American republics that are
members of the bureau. For this reason
his remarks are regarded as especially sig
niticant
Mr.. Barrett said, in part:
There is one important phase Of the
Central American situation that appea Is
TO all those who are interested in the
genesis and evolution OF nations The
present difficulties in Nicaragua have
started afresl the discussion in favor OF
the eventual organization of the five Cen
trail American republics of Guatemala,
Salvador. Honduras. Nicaragua and Costa
Rlca into one government.
First Step Taken.
When the Central American peace con-
ference convened at Washington in De-
cember 1907. Elihu Root, the Secretary
of State, spoke hopefully Of such a real
ization. He held that the formation OF
the Central American court of justice, to
which go all questions between these
countries, was a long step in that diree-
ton. His words were appla uded all over
Latin America.
Enrique Creel. former ambassador OF
Mexico to the United States and now at
Washington on a special mission for his
government in connection with the Mic
araguan crisis, has announced that he
looks forward TO the ultimate consolida-
ton of the five republics. When two
such men as Root and Creel representing
the best craftsmanship of the United
States and Mexico, and at the same time
men who are thoroughly in touch witt,
the Latin-Amercan viewpoint Of Pan
American policies. express these opn-
ions. it must be admitted that such a
movement is worthy of serious and SYM
pathetic consideration by all nations
concerned.

Leading bulls gave the May delivery mod

principal demand came from those who had
