Comments Not All Favorable.

Comments upon the federal incor
poration bill have not been altogeth-
or favorable Many lawyers have TAX
en- the position that it interferes with
the rights of states to tax property
of corporations, while there are others
who believe that, if the decision in the
standard Oil case is affirmed by the
supreme court. that company would DC
the first to take advantage of vol
untary federal Incorporation act OPP
position to the Standard Oil company
as a monopoly impels these members
of congress to be aginst any measure
designed to give relief to any trust.
The administration bills on the con-
servation of natural resources are still
before the house committee on public
lands. awaiting the announcement of
some volunteer that he is willing to
undertake their defense in the house.
The offer Of Chairman Mondell of
Wyoming to introduce the bill "by
request" having been declined bv Presi-
dent Taft and by Secretary Ballinger,
attention will be given to the measure
by individual members of the commit
tee and they may be parceled out
among several western representatives.
MondeIps Attitude
Many people believe that the admin
istration forces made a mistake in
declining the proffer of MIR. Mondell.
His opposition to the Ballinger bills is
said to be in harmony with lukewarm
support given by him in the past to
the Roosevelt program on conserva-
G f
ed out that few bills withdrawing for
governmental reserve any part of the
public domain, have had Mr.. Mon
delTs support The measures in
question were drafted by Secretary
Ballinger, and the endorsement in
troduced by request would have
brought them prominently to the at
tention of the country as adminlstra-
ton measures.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Bal
fingers conservation tendencies have
been questionedfi it might prove adj
vantageous to him to have his per
sonaq label upon them.
An interesting situation will be rails
ed in the house committee on expend-
fures in the interior department by
Representative Hitchcock of Nebraska,
who will endeavor to SubStantiate
his charges of extravaganza in the
conduct of land offices.
The bill giving separate statehood
to New Mexico and Arizona, is OH
the house calendar. Hamilton, of Mich
igan, author of the measure, says
that. if it's passage is delayed, it will
be in the senate.

Little opposition has been heard to

TRIO Of BIRD

CURTISS EXECUTES DIFFICULT
AERIAL FEATS BEATING
PAULHAN'S EFFORT.

AVIATION CAMP, Los ANGELES,
Jan. 16.-The wind and the rain con-
spired today to test the mettle of the
airships flying on Aviation field. The
tiss and Louis Paulhan.
In half gale OF wind, Curtiss rose
to height of more than 100 feet, and
there performed as pretty a piece of
aeroplane jockeying as the world has
ever seen. He described circles in
daring fashion, lifting and dipping and
beating against the wind, and winding
up by cutting the letter IS"
Pauihan strove 20 Guido this, going
up 512 feet and circling about like a
hawk over a barnyard. But his ex-
hibition of fancy air skating lacked
something of the brillancy shown by
the Yankee
Another wonder picture, was paint
ed. Curtiss, Paulhan and Charles h.
Hamilton. each in his own machine,
swung around in an aerial marathon
At times they raced together, head
long against the wind. Again they
played tag with each other They
flew under. over and around each
other, guiding their trembling steeds
with sure touch.
Accidents Averted
That there were no accidents today
was marvel The aviators did not
want to fly in the wind They know
that this wind strains the delicate
silk planes and pulls at the fasten-
ings with cruel fingers. A sudden
blast and the planes might crumble
and dash the driver to earth.
But the crowd was there and some
thing had to be done to amuse it.
A new word has been coined at the
aviation field. 1t is "aeronutty" The
population of Los Angeles gave an ex-
hibition Of this peculiar form of in
sanity. Through the rain of the morn
ing they went in droves to the field,
standing in the mud along the fence
line or holding dripping seats in the
grandstand. They started out in
wagonloads from nearby towns and
farms and in automobiles from the
city. The mud stopped many of them
and the road to the grounds was
strewn with unhappy bands of strand
ed pilgrims.
By the time the events were sched-
MED to begin, the biggest crowd of the
meet had gathered and was stamp
ing and whistling and sending up toy
balloons to pass the time. Even the
nearby hills were black with spec
tators.

NO ATTEMPT TOCONCEAL
DEATH, SAYS CORONER

Editor Herald: In your editorial COL
umns of Saturdays issue, under the
caption "Was More Concealed?" re-
ferr1ng to the death of Morris j. Coch-
ran at the Hollenbeck hotel, l believe
you nave done me and my office a Sc
rlous injustice and l ask an oppor-
tunity to explain.
The facts relative to the case are
these: L was at the scene of the acci-
dent at Merrill and Long Beach ave-
nues, where Mr. Gilmore and Mrs. Gar
retson were filled by the Pacific Elec-
trio car, with a jury viewing the scene
of the accident. On my return to the
office 1 found that Mr.. Macdonald of
this office had been detailed to case
at the Hollenbeck hotel which had been
reported during my absence. On re-
ceipt of telephone call from the po-
lice reporters for news, 1 informed
them that we had a recent case at the
Hollenbeck hotel which was being in
vestigated by Mr.. Macdonald, the de-
tails of which 1 knew nothing and
which had not been at that time re-
ported.
Now, the insinuation that there was
an effort to conceal is unjust and en-
tirely unfounded, for the reason that
there was no object either on the part
of the hotel management or myself for
so doing, that there was nothing about
the case out of the ordinary in any
way, shape or manner, simply being
an ordinary case of natural causes
such as we have time and time again.
Now, 1 want you and all other papers
in the city to. understand, as you have
been told verbally time and time again,
that this office Is not going to conceal
