owner of the New York Nationals.

O'BRIEN MONOPLANE
LATEST AIR CRAFT

(By United Press Leased WIre)
SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.-An
attempt at flight in a monoplane
weighing only $50 pounds, one of
the lightest in the world, will be
made Sunday night at Richmond,
Contra Costa county, by Clifford
OBrien, a California inventor.
The machine was built by OBrien
and ]. w. Hudson, a mechanical
engineer, who constructed the en-
gines.
Though the machine is one-third
the weight of the Farman biplane
in which Paulhan. the French bird
man, gave exhibitions here, the en-
gines develop two-thirds the power
of the big Farman motors.
The engine weighs but 80 pounds
and supplies SO horsepower. 1t is a
five cylinder rotary motor.
The general scheme of the Rich
mond monoplane resembles the
plane employed by Bleriot in his
successful flight of the English
channel.

NATIONAL CAPITAL GOSSIP
(By Frank Fuller

Washington, d. c., Sept. IA.
The recent swing around the
circle of Mr.. Roosevelt is looked
upon here by the politicians as
bringing him into full fellowship
with the insurgent element of his
party. They do not think he is
out seeking the Presidential nomi-
nation again but if matters so
shape themselves he may feel that
he is practically drafted by his
friends, and he has placed him
self in position where he could
not consistently refuse. In fact
national matters are likely to
shape themselves much after
those of the state of New York,
and he may be forced into action
and make a fight for his policies
and the political life of some of
his friends.
The President has notified his

The Merchants Association First
Smoker

The members of the Henderson
vile Retail Merchants Association,
some thirty of them, enjoyed a
thoroughly good time at their first
smoker, held last night.
The smokes were excellent, the
ice cream was good, and likewise
the cake. The short, snappy talks
were profitable and interesting,
and before the evening was very
old the members were swapping
experiences at the rate of about
two a minute.
In addition to the usual routine
business transacted there was
some discussion as to the advisa-
bility of urging the proper author
tiles to place a suitable tax upon
all auction schemes which comes
to Hendersonville for a month or
so during the height of the season.
The matter was discussed quite in
formally and no action was taken.
The smoker was certainly a
success, from every point of view.
Mr.. j. G. Morrow was somewhat
impatient at times because there
was a slight delay In serving the
cream and cake, but when he saw
the generous portions of both
given him, he seemed quite con-
tent. as were all the others. 1t is
hoped the smoker may be repeat
ed and that soon.
