INVENTS MON0PLANE WITH
NEW BALANCING PRINCIPLE
Airship Also Has Novel Steering Gear
and Its Trial Flight Indicates
Successful Results

HANIMONDsPORT, N. Y, Jan. 13.-
A coal black monoplane. built along
somewhat different lines from any OF
the American or European aeroplanes,
is treceiving daily tryouts over the
snow and ice which cover Lake Keuk
here
The monoplane is the invention of
A. L. Pfitzner. The new monoplane,
which has made several short flights
successfully has a new balance de-
vice, while its steering gear is also
novel in aeroplane architecture In
stead of steering with a rudder Pfitz-
ner has his right and left steering
surfaces placed in front over the ele-
waiting plane. In the rear he carries
rigid plane as a tail.
The inventor will continue his exper-
iments here until he has mastered the
control of the machine.

CLAIMS TO HAVE MADE
AIRSHIP ACCiDENT-PROOF
pany of German Army Patents
Supposedly Safe Appliance
Especial to The Herald ]

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 13.-
Claiming to have made the aeroplane
practically accident-proof, Henry
Jungblut, formerly a member of the
aeronaut company of the German
army, will build in this city machine
that is to participate in the aeroplane
experiments to be made by the United
States government at Fort Sam Hous-
ton early this spring. Mr.. Jungbluts
machine is said to be able to come to
total inertia in the air and then settle
down slowly. An additional spread
of canvas controlled mechanically and
adding largely to the surface of resist
ance offered by the planes is expected
to effect this.
To overcome the interference of high
currents of air striking the machine
in its flank Mr.. Jungblut has provided
automatic wings on each side of his
machine which are said to preserve
it's equilibrium under these conditions.
The inventor has filed patents on his
innovations and has placed a small
but complete working model on exhi-
bition in this city.

DISTANT AERIAL OBJECT
HOLDS ATTENTION OF THRoNG

A general alarm was sounded among
the newspaper men at aviation field at
3:15 yesterday afternoon when far Off
in the direction of Mount Lowe and
apparently nearly a mile above the
earth an object resembling an aero
plane came into sight.
1t was suggested that some unknown
inventor had secretly constructed ma
chine that to all appearances was COM
ing to the aviation meet under its own
power and at such high altitude that
it would eclipse the wonderful record
made by Paulhan.
Powerful glasses were quickly
brought into play, and it was discov-
cred that the mysterious object was
composed of two toy balloons tied to-
gether and bearing flag, the lettering
upon which could not be discerned. 1t
was not announced at the field where
the contrivance originated. A strong
air current carried the little balloons out
to sea among the clouds in a very few
minutes. Frequently toy balloons held
by persons in the big grand stand were
cut loose and floated heavenward
among the dirigibles and aeroplanes.

JUDGE WORKS REGRETS
NO HOLIDAY WAS SET
President of Council Expresses Him
self in Regard to Aviation
Meet

President Works yesterday censured
the city council for it's refusal to
adopt the mayors suggestion submit
ted to the council Wednesday that
half holiday be declared this afternoon
and the CITY employees given a chance
to attend the aviation meet.
The president was out of the city
Wednesday and did not attend the
meeting of the council. He said that
had he been there he would have
strongly urged that the recommended
tion of the mayor be adopted. as he
considered the aviation meet was
matter of considerable Importance for
Los Angeles and that the municipality
should observe 1t in some way
Councilman Gregory explained the
council had taken the action it did be-
cause Saturday afternoon was a half
holiday. and the council believed that
would serve as we'll as closing the city
hall Friday afternoon.

COTTON MARKET ACTIVE

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-While busi-
ness was less active, today's cotton
market showed continued excitement
and there were violent fluctuations in
prices. An early decline of from II to
% points, which carried May to a new
low level for the movement, was fol-
lowed by an advance of from 30 to 80
points The close was weak, WITHOUT
any recovery in prices on the active
months, and at decline of from 10 to
80 points in the general list.

TEN MORE TICKET SELLERS
CARE FOR AVIATION CROWDS

In order to care for the vast increase
in traffic during aviation week, d. A.
Munger, general passenger agent, has
added ten ticket sellers to the regular
force at the Pacific Electric depot.
Three are able to attend to the reg
ular business of the company at the
station, and how great is the rush this
week is indicated by the fact that the
force is now four times as large as US
ual. Several of the additional ticket
sellers are stationed in the lobby of the
building, and this greatly expedites
matters and prevents a crush at any
particular place.
The rush starts these days shortly
after noon, and from then on until after
9 o'clock the large waiting room Is a
throng of humanity.

kissed her out of thankfulness for her
safe return to terra firma.
Two accidents were scored against
the meet yesterday. Hillery Beachy,
more or less of an amateur in plotting
biplanes, but an old hand at the avia-
ton game, broke one of the lower
planes of his beautiful nickel-plated
CHILDISH machine in coming to earth
in rough ground. The accident oc-
Cured in the morning while the Gill
Dosh was making its first real flight of
the meet. Beachy was uninjured His
machine will be in the biplane hospi-
tai for several days
The CHILDISH biplane has been un-
fortunate in it's life on Dominguez
field. 1t was put out of commission
by the explosion of its engine Monday
afternoon. Yesterdays accident may
keep it out of the meet entirely.
Gyroplane Burned Up
Probably the most dangerous event
so far was the fire which destroyed the
Klassen Butterfly" gyroplane. The
fire endangered the Paulhan camp and
had it not been for prompt work on
the part of bystanderS tine Dig Ear
man and Bleriot machines might now
be a heap of ashes and scrap metal,
One of the real frights of the year
was given late last night when it was
reported that the big balloon Amer

as pilot, Mrs. Ida NJ. Gregory of Chi
cago, Miss Bertha Freund of Cincin-
natl, Miss Edna Myers of san Ber-
nardino and K. L. Bernard OF New
York as passengers was reported lost.
1t had ascended from Huntington Park
early in the morning. Pilot Marrs lost
partial control of the big gas. bag
and it drifted about four hours, finally
coming to earth near Burbank. Dozens
of messages were sent all over South
ern California in an endeavor to To-
cate the missing aeronauts. 1t was
not until well into the night that Pilot
Marrs walked into Dick Ferris office
and announced he had had a fine ride
but one he would not care to take
again.
Charles f. Willard has gained the
title of the most expert aviator IN
starting and stopping his Curtiss BIZ
plane.
He has such control over the machine
that he started from 20-foot square
and after flying around through space
as long as he desired comes to a halt
on the same square. He did that yes
terday and he is now $3.50 richer for

Disease Is Contagious

stretches along the pain 10 tne sraiio-
stand.
Disease Is Contagious
If a person goes to Aviation field
with the deliberate intention of not be-
coming affected by the sight of the
aeroplanes soaring through the air ne
is quickly undeceived. Like the
Chagres fever the dread of Panama,
once the aviation fever gets hold or
a person it is extremely difficult to
shake it off, and it doesn't take the
aviation fever long to seize a tight
grip. The sight of one of the biplanes
cutting through the atmosphere far
above ground only serves to Vacclnate,
but this does not prevent the fever
taking firm hold few moments later
when two dirigibles, two aeroplanes
and balloon are seen lodging hither
and thither many feet overhead. The
sight is one that isn't soon forgotten.
Although the main road to Aviation
field is considered good, the ground
inside the inclosure is still somewhat
soft from the recent rains, and an in
teresting sight near the front gate is
a team of big Missouri mules, always
ready to pull the unfortunate among
the autoists out of the mire.
The stirring days of horse racing in
this state caused no more of thrill
on the part of the people in the grand
stand than the impromptu race be-
tween Paulhan and Curtiss yesterday
afternoon several times around the
course. Paulhan at the time had two
passengers In his Farman biplane and
when Curtiss, who ascended several
minutes later rushed past the grand
stand around the course and passed
Paulhan like an express train, the en-
thusiasm of the crowd could not be
restrained and the applause was deaf
ening.

having accomplished the remarkable
feat. Wizards mother, a fine type of
womanhood, stood anXiously watching
her son while he was making his
flight. When he had been announced
winner of the prize, Mrs. Willard led
him off to his camp and there planted
real mother caress upon her idol.
Pasadena Represented
Aristocratic Pasadena cheered itself
hoarse while the many events of yes
terdays program were going on. 1t
was Pasadena Day. and Pasadena
must have been deserted from the
showing of its townsmen in the grand
stand. Fully 5000 made the long trip
to see the sights of aviation. They
were not disappointed one little bit,
either.
If there is a comparison possible be-
tween anything and an aviation meet,
that comparison is a horse race meet.
1t reminds one for all the world of a
race course off the ground to see
heaVier-than-air machines being raced
around through space just to warm
them up" as the aviatorS say. Really
the warming up is a test of the engine.
They warm up horses in a preliminary
canter just before a race. That's what
the aViators do with their machines.
And for the same purpose.
Curtiss, with his eight-cylinder rae
ing machine, was the first on the
course. He warmed up his eight cyl
inder racing machine to such a degree
that he made it impossible for Paul
han to duplicate his record for ten
laps of the course.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-14
Wright Brothers Wrong

Just to show that the Wright broth
ers are wrong, c. K. Hamilton tied the
rudder of his Curtiss biplane and
sailed through the air in a test flight
during the morning. This is the great
point of argument between Curtiss and
the Wrights, who claim a patent on
the rudder used in Curtiss machines.
When Curtiss brought his racer out
onto the field it was announced he
would try to establish a course record
for ten laps. Hamilton had failed in
his flight through the breaking of
small pipe leading from the gasoline
tank of his machine to the carbureter
and it was up to Curtiss to make good
with the same type machine. Up rose
CurtisS just as he crossed the tape in
front of the judges stand. Round and
round he circled the track. Each time
as he passed the stand the people
cheered the greatest speed king of
them all. Curtiss is not afraid to go
fast, for not SO long ago that it has
been forgotten Curtiss made the fast
est mile the world has ever known.
He negotiated it on a motorcycle at
Ormond beach, Florida, in 26 2-5 sec
onds. That record has never been
touched even by a railroad train.
So it was that those who have fol-
lowed Curtiss in his speed career eX-
pected him to cut things loose. He
was travelling at the rate of forty miles
an hour, yet he seemed hardly to be
moving except when he was passing
the grand stand. Once when he was
opposite the stand on the north side of
the track Paulhan suddenly shot up
into the air from his camp.
Looked Like a Race
Paulhan speeded up his engine like
mad and was some 300 yards in advance
of the on-coming Curtiss. 1t looked like
a race for just short distance. Cur
tiss advanced his engine as far as it
would go, and in a burst of speed
passed under Paulhan. The race was
quickly on and quickly off, but it dem
onstrated that Curtiss' machines are the
swiftest winged messengers of the air
