AFTER HIGH RECORD.
PauIhan Expects to Establish New
Mark for Altitude.

Aviation Camp, Los Angeles, Cal,
Jan. 11.-Rain fell last night, fol-
lowed by a dense fog that settled over
Aviation Camp but failed to dampen
the ardor of the aviators. who were
at work on their machines bv day
break today When the sun arose, the
low hanging clouds were soon driven
away. Louis Paulhan was among the
first to arrive at the tent, where his
two Farman and two Bleriot ma
chimes are housed and he directed the
work of assembling the Bleriot mono
planes. Before noon the machines
were ready for today's contests.
Cortland Field Bishop, president OF
the Aero Club of America and chair
man of the committee of judges for
the contests. appeared at Aviation
Camp almost as soon as the aviators
and mechanicians and made a survey
of the field.
Before noon the weather was per-
feet from every standpoint. The at
mosphere was so clear that the snowy
mountain peaks, thirty miles away
seemed so near that an airship flight
to any one of them looked possible,
The Farman biplane used by Paul
han in his Sensational ten-minute flight
yesterday was brought out of its tent
at 10 O'Clock and tuned up" prepar-
atory to the expected attempt to break
the worlds altitude record for heavier
than air machines.
The two Bleriot 'scross channel
machines also were assembled during
the morning.
Glenn H. Curtiss, Charles K. Ham
ilton and Charles F. Willard worked
throughout the forenoon with q score
of mechanicianS on the four CurtiSs
machines in the mammoth tent along
side of that occupied by the French
man.
The racing machine with which he
won the worlds speed record at
Rheims last year received the per-
sonal attention of Curtiss
One New Record.
During the night repairs were COM
pleted on the Gill-Dosch machine OF
the Curtiss type, the nickle plated
aristocrat of the aviation world, which
was damaged when its engine "hared
back" yesterday. just as it was about
to be brought out for its initial flight
The new Farman biplane, which has
never been off of the ground, but
which Paulhan says is the best aero
plane ever built, attracted a great deal
of attention when it was brought from
the tent. This machine is larger than
the Farman which Paulhan uses in
his high fights and it's capacitv for
of carrying forty gallons. This makes
the aviator confident that with it he
will break the worlds endurance
record
At least one record was broken on
the opening day of the meet 1t was
that of the distance at which an
aeroplane leaves the ground after il
has been put in motion. Glenn Cur
tiss declares that he never left the
earth so quicklv as he did in his Sec
ond flight yesterday, when he was try
ing out machine just received from
the maker. Before the aeroplane had
travelled so feet-40 feet was the esti-
mate of the judges-it left the earth

dience. In speaking of the matter
yesterday. Manager Crawford said:
There is no reason in the world
why we should not have the best
attractions in this city, but no man
ager is going to bring a company of
sixty or seventy people, headed by the
biggest stars, unless he can make
money. Neither does it pay me to
go to the expense which I must in
cur in order to get such attractions,
unless the people of this city give me
adequate support If 1 find that the
theatergoing public of this city want
these fine shows, and show that they
want them by paying their money to
see them, 1 will get them. I realize
that 1 owe a certain duty to the pub
lie of this city; primarily that duty
is to give them what they want
that's what I'm here for; and it
seemed to me that the easiest and
most direct way of meeting the situa-
ton was to give the theatergoing pub
lie of this city the best and funniest
musical play now on the market. If
I find that Mr.. Hopper and his com
pany are given adequate financial
support here, it will give me great
pleasure to induce other important
stars to come here.

city that Mr.. Hopper and "A Matinee

De Wolf Hopper in "A Matinee IDOL

Theatrical people who stop over in
Topeka on their tour of one-night
stands complain that the audiences
accorded their productions have been
stinted, not only that, but while the
audience may be appreciative enough
there is mo evidence to let this fact
be known. Ostensibly this is not true
for Hopper is considered in the west
as one of the really great stellar
lights in the theatrical armament.
Anyway the seat sale is going along
at a vigorous pace, and already those
who are used to certain reservations
at all shows, unless they have already
arranged for such reservation, have
little chance for securing their regu-
lar seats.
Eddie Foy, in his whimsical Mr..
Hamlet of Broadway" nearest to ap-
preached a capacity house for the
season, but at that there were sew
eral rows in the orchestra circle in
which no one was seated, so that with
the tremendous number of Hopper
reservations, it is not hard matter
to guess who is the popular, among
the theater going public in Topeka.
Manager Crawford of the Grand
has made up his mind to put the is
sue of the theatrical season fairly
and squarely up to the tneatergoers
of this city. He has felt and has
frankly admitted that the many COM
plants, as to the paucity of highclass
attractions. were to a certain extent
justified, and he has taken the first
opportunity to give the public what is
probably the best musical play now
on the market. In order to do this.
he has been compelled to guarantee

This opinion will be given to the
council by Mayor Green at their meet
ing Monday night and it is thought
that at this time it will be up to the
council to take whatever action they
desire on the matter Of making rates
for the rent of the sub-sfdewalk space,
etc.
The action is an important one and
a good one for the city at large. There
are very few business houses that would
object to paying a rental of this kind if
they knew that the money was going
toward the maintaining of the public
play grounds.

A RIGHT 10 CHARGE RENT.
City Attorney Says Areaway Space Be-

According to the legal opinion just
handed down to the mayor and city
council the city of Topeka has a right
to charge rent for the privileges Of
maintaining and using excavations un-
der the sidewalks in this city
Mayor Green suggested this matter
some time ago and thought that the
rent received by the city for the space
under the sidewalks could be turned
into the park fund for the purpose of
giving to Topeka a number of children's
playground and the equipment for the
same.

Opens This Morning With Scramble
for Seats.

When De Wolf Hopper appears in
his song comedy "A Matinee IDOL at
the Grand theater Friday evening, he
will probably be greeted by the first
capacity house that has adorned the
inside of the theater during the en-
tire season. Without doubt, the
theater management says, the S. R.

and already the seats are selling to
the extent that prompt action must be
taken by those who would attend,
else they will be disappointed in Sc
curing the choice of location.
