TO GET $4,000 MONTH
That Is What Paulhan Will Receive
for Six Months.

Denver. Feb. 3.-Nearly six times
the salary of the president of the
United States is what Monsieur Louis
Paulhan, aviator par excellence, is to
receive for his aeroplane flights in this
country. .Ts}h 4
The contract between the French
aviator and Edwin C1eary of London
states that M. Paulhan is to receive
$4,000 month for six months work
in America and 20 per cent more dur
ing the four subsequent months, which
shows that the art of flying is one of
the most remunerative occupations in
the world.
From the text of the agreement it
is further evidenced that Paulhan is
not required to fly more than twelve
times month under the most favor
able circumstances.
This means that he will receive
$4,000 for each flight during the first
six months and about $4,000 per
ascension after that
The typewriter agreement between
Edward Cleary of England and Louis
Paulhan of Sartrouville, France, may
be looked upon as a noteworthy docu
ment, not only because it illustrates
the money making facts in aviation,
| but also because it is the first paper
of its kind in the world. The sigma
lures and, indeed, every word contain
ed in the remarkable document, there
fore, will go down into history as
/ golden letters upon the birth certificate
OF aviation.
The monthly salary which Mr.
! Cleary is to pay the daring man-bird
is stated in the contract as 10000
francs. Paulnan agrees to fly twelve
times a month, provided aerial condi-
tions are favorable, and for each
flight, accordingly, is to receive 5000
francs or $4,000 in American money.
In France 10000 francs represents the
! yearly salary of a major general. Paul
! han was but second lieutenant when
| he took to aviation. The change, it
would seem, gives him major gen.
erals salary a dozen times every
month and he is likely to return to
sunny France in year or two with
; a yearly income of half a million
francs.
An additional illustration of the
: profitableness of flying an aeroplane as
t a VOCATION is seen in the price asked
2 by Paulhan for fight from Chicago
5 to New York. He wants a round mil
Il hon dollars to do the trick. When the
: proposition was made to him in a ten
] tative way yesterday, NJ. PaulhaI
t quickly figured that he could fly five
/ hours every day and cover the dis
a lance between Chicago and New Yorl
in about eight days. The cost of equip
e ping relay stations along the course
: he estimated, together with the dan
i: gers of the trip, would make the f1igh
8 worth $1,00O,000, or $125,0OO per DAY

EVIDENCE ALL IN.
Washington Is Much Interested In the
Aud Court Martial.

Boston, Feb. s-There was no morning
session today at the Charleston navy
yard of the court martial which is trying
of assault on DIR. Edward S. Cowles at a
hop last December. The evidence was
concluded yesterday and adjournment was
taken until this afternoon when Major
Leonard, senior counsel for Aud. was to
begin the argument.
That unusual interest in the case is be-
ing shown at Washington was borne out
in degree by~a request that full trans
cript of the proceedings be sent to both
Secretary of the Navy Myer and Senator
Lodge.

Ansey d. B. Robnett on charges similar
to those against Paymaster Aud will it

PAULHAN FLIES IN SNOW
The Aviator Makes Trip of is Miles
at Denver.

Denver, Feb. 3.-Louis Paulhan made
a Is mile cross country flight, starting
from Overland park in driving snow
storm. Flowing through three inches
of the start Paulhan warmed up his
engine by a preliminary flight of eight
miles. It was bitterly cold, but after
DOMINIC heavier clothing he again
arose in the air and, swinging wide
over the crowds on the hills above the
track, disappeared in the snow fiurries
over western foothills.
After a time he swung back in a
wide circle over the factories of South
Denver to the course, and alighted
within a few feet of his starting point
The snow settled thickly in the planes
of the machine but seemed to cause the
aviator no trouble. Paulhan was 50
stiff from cold after the flight that he
had to be helped from the machina-

and more what pie meant to sena-
tor, he cast about to get pie spec
ialist- No ordinary maker of pies
would do. The old pie cook had gone.
But finally real expert in pie was
obtained and paid good salary to
cater to the necessities of the senate
in respect of this form of pastry. So
far the new pie specialist has made
good.
OF course. the real test will come
next summer when the weather is
boiling hot and it devolves on the pie
cook to put up forms of pie for SEN
ate use which will be as digestible as
matted milk

IN STATE OF SIEGE.
Political Situation In Honduras Is
Reported as Critical.

New Orleans, Feb. "a special
from Tegucigalpa, Honduras. says:
The situation here is regarded as
critical. 1t may result in the deposit
ton of President Davala by congress.
A state of siege has been declared for
some time ard no one is allowed on
the streets at night after o'clock.
Food stuffs are selling for three or
four times what they brought before
the state of siege was declared. Con-
gress, in session ever since January 1,
has done nothing but quarrel with
President Davala over certain laws
that he enacted by decree during re-
cess. Congress refuse sto ratify them.

GIRLS SENT TO JAIL.
Shirt Waist Strikers Appear in Court
Without Friends.

Philadelphia, Feb. 3.-There were
no society women on hand to furnish
bail or pay fines for fifteen girl shirt
waist strikers, who were arraigned
before a magistrate on minor charges
and as a result some of the young
women were sent to the county pris-
on. The girls were arrested during
disturbances near factories operated
with non-union workers. Five of the
girls were given ten days in prison,
some of them were fined and others
were held in bail to keep the peace.
