AT Los ANGELES
INTERNATIONAL MEETING
OPENING.
MANY MACHINES ENTERED
Louis Psulhan Brings Two Farman
and Two Bieriot Bi-pIanes-Cur-
tiss Hopes to Surprise the
Flights Of His Competitor.

Los Angeles.-Louis Paulhan, the
French aviator, and two members of
his syndicate, Miscarol and Maisson,
have arrived here, ready to enter the
first aeroplane contest of the inter
national meet.
They brought with them two Bier
lot monoplanes and two Farman BIZ
planes, in which Maisson and Mis-
carol will soar in competition with
Willard, Hamilton and Curtiss in the
speed and height tests.
There are nine heavier-than-air craft
here, ready to compete.
The Curtiss machines are the small
est successful aeroplanes yet devel-
oped, but the inventor declares that
he fully expected to see the speed
records lowered, while he himself
hoped to surpass the high flights of
his chief French competitor during
the mex 10 days.
Charles Hamilton, who is here, fresh
from his recent flights near Kansas
City, is being groomed by Curtiss to
pSoI Il ulAo = olllSAdt opCCu lCNo1o
of a mile in two minutes and one-fifth
seconds. He will also go after the
record established by the luckless De
la Grange, who flew a mile and $50
yards in one minute and AZ seconds.
Course Not Quite Approved.
Like Curtiss, Paulhan found the
course not quite to his liking, because
the aviators must either breast an in
cline or go down it in starting. He
voted for a ~hexagonal course and at
once a score of road making mahines
and scrapers were set at work,
smoothing out a gateway, which will
permit starts level with a prairie-like
plateau that continues almost up to
the base of the mountain to the
east.
Curtiss has the Hartman biplane all
groomed and ready. 1t had never
been put together before and shone
with varnish and bright metal fittings.
Curtiss Flies Thrice.
Curtiss made three short flights in
the Hartman. The first time he re-
manned up half a minute, the second
time 40 seconds and the third one
minute and ten seconds. On the third
fight he travelled three quarters of a
mile.
All the American biplanes, includ-
ing one built by Captain Mueller, the
baloonist, have four cylinder motors,
except hat in which Curtiss expects
to make records and take a large part
of the prize money. This is the g.
cylinder biplane in which he made
the remarkable flights at Rheims.
At the meeting he said he could not
use the full power of the motor for
fear of wrecking the machine and
killing himself. But he has made
some notifications which will enable
him to use the full power.

DISTINGUISHED PRELATEO OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH JOINS
CHOIR INVISIBLE
AS PONTIFICAL DELEGATE
HE BECAME DEEPLY IMPRESSED
WITH INSTITUTIONS OF
OUR COUNTRY

Rome, Jan. S-Francesco Di- Pa
ola Satolli, bishop of Frascati, arch
priest of the Lateran arch-Basilica
project of the Congregation of Stud
les, and the first apostolic delegate to
the United States died today
Death followed the illness hal be-
gan last June with an attack of
nephritis and the atrophy of the
right lung and was complicated re-
Gently with blood poison.
BIOGRAPHICAL
Cardinal Satolli was born in Pc
rugia in 1893. AS a monsignor he
was sent to this COUNT in 1892 as
papal representative, and four years
prior to that time had attended the
celebration in Washington of the
centenary of the Catholic hierarchy
in the United States.
After three years as papal repre-
sentative to this country he was re-
called to Rome and Monsignor Mar
tincelli appointed.
Directly following his return to
Rome he was created a cardinal and
in the following years DOL an active
part in the affairs of the vatican. He
made another visit to America IN 1904
and since hat time his health had
gradually failed.
WORD FOR TAFT
To a friend from America, the dy-
ing man said: Remember me to
President Taft and tell him l hope
the day will come when the United
States and Italy will be allied, Italy
then being a republic" His will is
dated June % last. and leaves all
his estate to a relative. This wlll
protect the purpose of the will in
with the laws of Italy Nut
private Instructions were left ior
the heir requesting that the proper
ty be divided among several eccles-
teal and benevolent institutions. The
cardinals wish vas that as all he
possessed had come from the church
it should return to the church with
his demise.
LAST MOMENTS
Almost to the hour of death Sa-
TOLL discussed with the few who were
permitted to see him the affairs of the
church in the United States, in which
country he had profound interest fol-
lowing his visits, which included his
mission as first apostle delegate there.
He remembered we'll the details Of
his stay there and recently related
how before his appointment as apOs-
tOlc delegate, ne had Deen instructed
by Pope Lee to ~interrogate Ameri-
cal bishops concerning the advis-
ability of creating an apostolic dele
cation at Washington. All opposed
such move with the exception of
Archbishop Ireland.
POPE GRIEVES
Soon after death the body was
placed in state in a chapel of the
Iatern palace. The pope greatly
grieved when the announcement of
the cardinals death was made to him
and recalled hat it was the %convinc-
ing arguments of Satolli which in
fluenced him to accept the papacy at
the last conclave.
