VALLEJO GRANTS NEW
DRAM SHOP LICENSES
Raises Legal Number of Saloons
From so to 55

VALLEJO, Sept S.-The board of
city trustees last night passed an ordi-
nance increasing the number Of saloons
here from so to 55, the number speci-
fed by the navy department four years
ago, when Vallejo was forced to reduce
the number OF saloons and raise the
license, under q threat that if this was
not done warships would be kept away
from Mare island as much as possible.
The ordinance providing for an in
creased number was passed, it is under
stood, so that a license might be given
to a place catering to the colored popu-
lation and to four dance halls recently
closed by the police for selling liquor
without license.
The affiliated temperance committee,
which was instrumental in securing the
former action by the navy department,
it is believed, will take the matter up
with the Washington authorities.

Hamilton made three remarkable
flights with his new Hamiltonian ma

for speed today. In a flight early in
the evening Hamilton first broke Glenn

fort it was he broke his own record by
making the lap in 1903. Governor Gill
lett was an interested spectator.
THRILLS CROWD
The daring birdman earlier in the
afternoon thrilled the big crowd with
aerial tactics. He circled four times
around the track at high speed. On
one Of the detours he went outside the
fence before he could descend. He
skinned over a nearby vineyard at
great risk TO his machine before he
could get up in the air again and head
for the inclosure. Approaching at a
height sufficient to clear the fence he
discovered telephone and power lines
directly in his path. Without chang
ing his speed he brought the big bird
down toward the ground in beauti-
ful swoop and ducking under the wires

Finding his machine in excellent or

the track TO get his bearings and as he
reached the starting point he gave the
cue that he was TO go against time.

Satisfied with the records which he
HAD established, Hamilton gave the
crowd another sort of excitement He
would soar TO several hundred feet,
then, speeding through the air, would
descend with a big swoop and skim
along the ground. He kept this up for
some time and finally brought the ma
chine to a stop in a cloud of dust in
the runway.
