Dimes WHILE JUDGE AND
JURY WAIT TO TRY HIM
BaiIiff of the Federal Court Finds
Defendant Eating Twelve
Course Dinner

Chico Espinoza, one of the fast dis
appearing types of the early Call
fornians, forgot in the fragrance of a
Spanish dinner yesterday that he was
defending his liberty against an action
in the United States district court
charging him with violating a law by
giving a drink of liquor to an Indian,
During the noon recess of the court
he strolled into a restaurant near the
Plaza, where for two hours and half
he partook leisurely of twelve courses
of an elaborate dinner while the court
impatiently waited for his return.
Not until Bailiff Dominguez, who
knows the ways of his people, was
sent in search of him did Espinoza be-
come aware that duty called him away
from his dinner. Rising dolefully from
his seat as Dominguez entered the din
ing room, Espinoza greeted him cor
daily In Spanish and invited the
baillff to take dinner with him. Do
minguez, however, forced the Cali
fornian from his repast and hurried
him in true American style back to the
court room, where judge and jury
stared at him in astonishment when
he excused himself with a shrug of
the shoulders and the remark:
"My dinner, it was long and re time
no see."

AGED MAN IS KILLED
BY CAPITALISTS AUTO

Amos Gates, 68, I'LL Ell Molino street,
while crossing Pico street at the in
tersection of Ell Molino. was struck
yesterday at $3.50 p. IN. by hve-pas-
senger automobile driven by I. B.
Murphy, a retired capitalist, of 1927
ST. Andrews street, and SO seriously
injured that he died at his home short
ly after the accident.
Murphy, with his daughter-in-law,
Mrs. L. r. Hull, 2640 Monmouth street,
and Mrs. L. F. Lathrop of Berkeley,
Cal, was returning home. According
to his statement and others made by
witnesses, the machine was travelling
In the neighborhood of twelve miles an
hour when Gates was struck, stopping
within a cars length from the point
where the accident occurred.
Gates was crossing the street when
the warning from the automobile horn
made him stop, seemingly undecided
whether to proceed or retreat. Finally
he turned to retrace his steps. This
was unexpected by Murphy and Gates
was struck down by the fender Of the
machine.
But for the fact that Gates had been
suffering from some mental ailment,
for which he had been under a doctors
care for a year, the injuries received
would not have resulted fatally, 1t Is
said. Death was due as much to the
shock and his condition as to the in
juries received, no bones being bro
ken.
Mrs. Arthur A. Gates, iii Ell Molnio
street, daughter-in-law of the deceased,
exonerated Mr.. Murphy from any
blame for the accident last night. The
latter called personally, with witnesses
at the police station and explained the
accident to the detectives. The dead
man was car builder by trade.

Machines for Next Inter-

PARIS, September 29.-The French
aviation cracks are tuning up for the
American meet, and the thoroughness
of their preparations betrays deter

Leblanc tried out today his new
Bleriot model equipped with two 90
horse power revolving Gnome motors.
1t Is understood the racer developed
extraordinary speed.
Hubert Latham has been practicing
with his new 100-horse power flyer,
and is said to have attained a speed
of about seventy miles an hour.

U. S. IN AVIATION
Boston Kite King Confers with
Men Arranging for the
January Meet
RETURNS FROM MEXICAN TRIP
Claims Man-CarrierS Would Be
Valuable for ReConnoit-
ering in Wartime

Samuel r. Perkins. the Boston kite
king, was in Los Angeles yesterday TO
confer with the men who are arranging
for the January aviation meet. After
participating in the Boston meet he
went to Mexico for the centennial cele-
bration, and returned by way of Los
Angeles on his way to fill an engage
ment at Brockton, Mass.
"There is very wide interest in what
Los Angeles is going to do" said Mr..
Perkins, who has attended every meet
on this continent since the Los Ange-
les success. ut has been referred to as
the standard everywhere, and naturally
aviators and others interested in flying
are wondering what you will do next
year. You have no idea how much your
aviation meet did to advertise Califor-
MIA, not only in this country but abroad
as well.
"I have been endeavoring to develop
kites, and especially those which will
carry men aloft, and these have come
to be quite a feature of the eastern
aviation meets. At the Boston meet
we were very successful with man
carriers, and 1 sent representatives of
all the newspapers up as high as they
would let me. The man-carrying kites
should prove valuable in war and in
other ways of accommodating"
At the big celebration in the east and
events such as the Vanderbilt cup race
Mr.. Perkins furnishes hundreds of kites
which carry flags and banners. During
the celebration at the City of Mexico
he had banners giving the names of the
Mexican patriots and with testimonials
to President Diaz flying over the city
through the exercises. At the aviation
meets, when the winds are unruly and
the crowd is waiting for the aeroplanes,
he scatters punches of kites all over
the field, with the flags of various ma
tions and bulletins which serve to keep
the crowd in good humor until the avi-
ators feel that 1t is safe to fly their
machines.
Although young man, Mr.. Perkins
is acknowledged as the leading kite
expert of the United States. He uses
every conceivable variety of kite, from
the tailless kind up to big eighteen and
twenty-footers. While in Los Angeles
yesterday he called on President Twin
ing and Secretary Green of the Aero
club of California, and others interested
in aviation.
A conference of business men inter
ested in promoting the aviation meet In
Los Angeles next January will be held
today, and it is expected that definite
plans will be announced next week.

The registry division of the new Of
