Dr. Bode, who was responsible for
the purchase of the Leonardo da
Vinci wax bust" that has aroused SO
much controversy, is the director Of
the Kaiser Friedrich museum, Berlin,
and 1t was for that institution that the
work was bought for $4,000. DR..
Bode is as firmly convinced that the
bust is. In very truth, the work OF
Leonardo as are certain others that 1t
is the work of r. G. Lucas, the British
sculptor, who flourished in the middle
of the nineteenth century. Indeed,
the more the doctor examines the
bust the more certain he is that 1t is
a genuine early sixteenth century
work.

NO BAR TO REGULAR
 AVIATION MEETINGS

New York, June 20.-Form announce- ment was made today by the Aero club of America that the vacation of the pre- liminary injunction obtained by the Wright brothers against Glenn H. Cur tiss and Louis Paulhan had vitiated the agreement between the club and the Wright company governing the sanction ing of aviation meets. The clubs readi- ness to sanction meets whenever the cir cumstances justified was made plain.
 The former agreement provided that the club would only sanction meets licensed by the Wrights upon satisfactory financial arrangements with the pro- moters. Although this pact has been set aside the Aero club warns aviators and promoters that the recent court ruling is not final and that the Wrights are free to bring actions against all participants in meets for alleged infringement of their patents.
 The suggestion was made also that 1t may become necessary to make some pro- vision to protect participants, especially in the matter of foreign aviators not in formed on the situation, from financial loss. It was due in great measure to the unwillingness of aviators throughout the United States to pay tribute to the Wrights that the American Aeronautical association was founded few weeks ago. The association announced its intention of holding meets independently of the Aero club or the Wrights, but the change of front of the parent association may make such action unnecessary.

AVIATOR HAMILTON
 FLIES AT NASHVILLE

Nashville, June 20.-Aviator Charles K. Hamilton made two short flights in his biplane this afternoon at the state fair grounds before large crowds that had braved a downpour of rain on chance that the later hours might prove more propitious
 ~The rain spoiled the large portion of the programme of the first day of Nash ville's military tournament, the street parade being the only number carried out in the forenoon without interruption.
 Almost up to the vary moment for the aviator to appear the water continued to fall, but at length there was a let up and the heavy, moist atmosphere was just to Hamiltons Hiking.
 He scared away on his flight at 4:30 and was in the air Il minutes. Taking a northeasterly direction at the start he soon disappeared behind a hill. Quickly reappearing, he came on, against the wind, up to the grandstand, flying low so that all had full view, then he rose again and circled the mile track couple of times. settling gracefully down at the starting point.
 Within few minutes he was again in the air, the second start being particu- larly quick one. Around the track he flew for lap and a half at fast clip and was once more settling back to earth almost before his intention was realized. The time of this flight was six minutes. About 800 feet was the greatest altitude attained.

TWO EMPHASIZES
 ARE TO BE BUILT

Washington, June 20.-Conferees on the naval appropriation bill completed their work today and the report was submitted to the House by Chairman Floss of the House naval affairs committed. The bill makes provision for the construction of two battleships to cost exclusive of armo- the armament not exceeding $6,000,000 each This item was not in dispute be- tween the two houses, however, but the Senate adopted amendments to provide for the construction of torpedo boat destroyers, torpedo boats and other na- val vessels of smaller type.
 It was proposed by the Senate to con- struct five submarine torpedo boats, but this number was reduced to four as provided originally by the House. They will cost on an average of s500,000 each
 Provision made by the Senate for ths construction of six torpedo boat destroy CTS of the highest practicable speed and rot to cost over s75ooOo was retained by the conferees. Another Senate provision to appropriate $445,000 for the purchase of torpedo boats with their vitals located below the normal load water-line- was retained by the conferees. The Secretary of the Navy is given discretion to use the latter appropriation for the purchase or construction of small vessels Of this type having a speed exceeding 19 knots and costing not to exceed $3o,0oo each.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
 BILL AGAIN HELD UP

Washington. June 2o.-Instead of reach ing vote on the acceptance of the House postal savings bank bill, as had been confidently expected, the Senate appar- ently was farther from that consumma- tion when 1t adjourned today than when it convened.
 Late in the day and following speeches in opposition to the House measure, Sem ator Bacon offered an amendment strik- ing out the provision regulating the in- vestment of deposits in government bonds and the motion was pending when the Senate adjourned.
 The principal speech in opposition to the House bill was made by Senator Cummins, who contended that the meas ure was a radical reversal of the Senate bill. He urged MT. Carter to recon sder his motion to concur and pursue the usual course of asking for con ference.
 To do otherwise would be to confess failure, he said. and he would not nave the Senate surrender without struggle. He voiced especial objection to the pro vision of the House bill governing the control of the savings bank system by trustees and the withdrawal of deposits.
 MT. Hepburn declared the reserve pro- vision of the bill to be a Through tick ct for the money of the country to the banks of New York without any re- turn"
 He said also that under the terms of the bill depositors might demand gov ernment bonds, which might render the measure impossible of enforcement.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS
 BILL IS PASSED

Washington, June 2O.-The public build ings bill was passed tonight When its reading was begun at 11:55 D. m. there was wild applause among the members. The public buildings bill, the second so- called pork barrel measure of the session, was railroaded through the House in less than an hour.
 MT. Sims of Tennessee, declaring that the House was running wild on omnibus bills, protested that the measure carried millions for the District of Columbia against other sections. His speech, block ing legislation, was frequently interrupted with ironic cries of louder" and vote.
 T appeal for order,'' demanded the Ten nessee man.
 'The chair will be f order stentori- ously called out the speaker, who then corrected himself by insisting that the House be in order.
 Don't you think it's worth $20.00o, 600 to us to listen to a speech on this bill at this hour of the night?" demanded MT. Burke of Pennsylvania.
 MT. Sims, proceeding declared that the billion-dollar Congress would soon be a two- bilion-dollar Congress if appropria- tions were continued at the present rate
 MT. Sulzer protested in the name of the taxpayers of America against tanning a s20 100000 bill through under suspension of the rules. "I'd like to see roll call. said he shouting q want to vote against it."
 On a demand by MT. Sulzer that roll call be had, only five members arose to indicate they favored such a course.

BELLIGERENT FORCES
 URGED TO WITHDRAW

Washington, June 20.-The govern ments of the United States. Argentina and Brazil, by joint action of their rep resentatives, are urging the govern ments of Peru and Ecuador to take prompt measures to have their forces withdrawn to places at equal distance from the frontier.
 Following the decision of the two countries to withdraw their troops pending the settlement of their boun- dary disputes excitement arose in Quito over the report that Peru had with drawn her troops only 12 miles from the frontier. while Ecuador had sta tioned her troops 30 miles from the border.
 The United States, Argentina and Brazil now suggest that the Ecua- dorean troops should not be nearer the frontier than Guayaquil and the line of the Guayaquil- Quito railroad, and that the Peruvian troops be kept an equal distance from the frontier
