They are off at the speedway
The great aviation meet of The At
lanta Journal is on.
Despite the fact that Thursday morning
broke leaden and gray, with threat
of rain in the air. the famous aviators
declared early that unless the weather
changed materially conditions for flying
were ideal.
With this assurance, and burning with
the intense desire to witness the sensa-
tional performances of the giant man
birds, thousands of spectators took adj
vantage of the early street car service
provided to the speedway. and from II
o'clock on every car was crowded to its
full capcity.
The gates at the speedway were thrown
open to the early arrivals at 1880, and
from that time on the people poured
into the grounds through the gates in q
steady and unceasing stream.
Beginning at noon, cars left the
intersection of Broad and Alabama
streets every three minutes. running di-
rect to the speedway, and continuing as
long as there is demand for the serv-
ice.
BRISK WIND BLOWING.
A brisk ground wind was blowing
across the aviation field at 1870 o'clock,

to rise II was a steady breeze. from
the west, and the aviators studied it with
serious faces. Ely was with his mocha
nician in the hangar just then. putting the
finishing touches on the big flyer to which
he was to trust his life. The announce

last bolt was in place and the last wire
was taut ne would get up and explore

were to face later in the afternoon.

The two flyers of McCurdy and Post
were in the lane between the automobile

SHORTAGE DUE
TO SPECULATION
August Ropke, Louisville Banker,
Placed in JaiI-Experts Working
on His Accounts.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Louisville, KY, July 12.-Speculation
in stocks is alleged to have been the
direct cause of the arrest late yester-
day afternoon of August Ropke, book
keeper and assistant secretary of the
Fidelity Trust and Banking Company
on the charge of embezzlement. Presi-
dent Barr, of the Fidelity Company,
stated this evening that the experts
were still at work on Ropke's books
and the full amount of the shortage
would be made known later Ropke
was presented in police court and in
default of $4,000 bail was sent to
jail. Ropke was regarded as the
boldest speculator Louisville has
known in many years. 1t was cur
rently reported among brokers that
he won 100000 last year, but that he
lost heavily this year. He worked a
SYSTEM" it is said, and for a time
made money rapidly. Later, however,
the brokers declined to take his or
ders, his operations became restrict
ed and the slump in securities during
the past six months is said to have
been his undoing.
Ropke is an expert accountant and
one of the best bankers in Louisville.
He has been in the employ of the FL
deity Trust Company for IS years.
He is a director in the Toledo rail-
ways and light company and is said
to be the owner of several thousand
shares of that company's stock.

ganization has been recognized as one
of the most progressive retail estab-

A SEVERE nl0E
FROM JUS AVIS
Evidence Tended to Show Thai ~
fendant Had Been Hobnobbins with
Disreputable Character, and He Was
Given the Limit.

Roy Davis, a white man, was tried
in police court this morning on a
charge of unlawful retailing, was con-
victed, fined 500 and costs and sent
enced to Jail for thirty days.
In imposing the maximum penalty
on the defendant, Judge Davis took
occasion to express in no doubtful
terms his intolerance for such prac-
tees as had been charged against the
man, and stated that while he regret
ted to be placed under the necessity
of imposing a Jail sentence upon a
white man, the testimony adduced at
the trial was of such a nature that
the extreme penalty was none too
heavy.
Davis is the man who was arrested
as the result of information furnished
the police department by negro. who
voluntarily called at police headquar-
ters and told Officers Moore and
Williams that he had just purchased
bottle of whiskey from a white man
at the corner of Memphis and Sew
enth streets and offered to accompany
the officers to the place and purchase
another bottle.
At the trial Davis entered a plea
of not guilty, but no witnesses were
introduced by his counsel in his
defense. Officers w. w. Moore and
Tom Williams testified that they had
gone with the negro man to a certain
house at the corner of Memphis and
Seventh streets, which was occupied
as a residence by a negress, and that
the man had been sent into the house
to purchase the whiskey while the Of
f1eers remained outside and watched
through the window. The negro and
Davis were seen inside the house, the
former returning presently with a
half pint of whiskey which he deliver
ed to Officer Williams, and which he
claimed to have purchased from Da-
Wis.
Officer Moore testified that he had
seen Davis in the negro woman's
house almost daily during the past
three weeks, both during the day and
at night, and the negro man who
claimed to have purchased the whis-
key testified that the booze had been
delivered to him by Davis, in ex-
change for 80 cents. He stated that
he had purchased whiskey from the
defendant on several different occa-
sions.
After hearing all the testimony
Judge Davis imposed the maximum
penalty, at the same time remarking
that in his opinion 500 and thirty
days was none too severe punishment
for a white man who would SO de-
grade himself as to intimately asso-
ciate with negro women of unquestion-
able reputation, as the testimony in
this case indicated.
