FLIGHT
Of AIRSHIPS CALLED
OFF-NO ENTRIES

Although $4,000 was raised as
a prize and the route was laid out
for the Translate aeroplane flight
from St Louis to Kansas City, 70
have been begun Aug. "a, the aer-
lal attraction, which was inspired b
the Board Of Immigration, has been
called Off indefinitely. Failure Of
the committees to secure av%iators Is
given as the reason why the flight
has been abandoned.
To those towns along the pro
posed route, where 1t was planned for
ayiators to land temporarily. and
which had contributed toward the
event, Chief immigration Commits
sioner John II. curran yesterday sent
letters informing the commercial bod
les OF the towns that the flight would
not be held, as advertised.
The towns over which the flight
was to have been made to Kansas
City we're st. Charles. Montgomery
city. Mexico, Sturgeon, Huntsville,
Carrollton and Lexington. thence to
Kansas City.
While not attempting to criticise,
Commissioner Curran holds that no
blame for the postponement Of the
flight can rest on the immigration
Board, because the board, he says,
secured the money according to
agreement and laid out the route,
and the aero clubs Of st. Louis and
Kansas City were to perform their
part Of the program by securing the
aviators.
The only aviator definitely Sc
cured for the proposed flight was
Roy Knabenshue, who was to operate
a Wright machine. Efforts were
made to induce Curtiss and other
well.known ~aviators to compete, but
apparently without effect. Then ii
was sought to get two Wright ma
chimes in line. Knabenshue desired
to enter but one machine, robbing tn
event of the nature of a contest, so
the negotiations stand at present.
Prizes Ready Two Weeks Ago.
II have made efforts for the last
two or three days to see Albert Bond
Lembert, the president Of the st.
Louis Aero Club, who had agreed to
look after securing a~viators, but
understand he is out of the city,
said Mr.. Curran yesterday. 81 take 1t
that efforts to secure ~aviators have
failed, rs that is the only reason
can assign.

TOWN LOT TO BLIND MAN

Gen. n. Fred Bell and Col. ". L.
Townsend. Of Missouri, arrived in
Tulsa last night TO look after local In
~terests. 1t will be remembered that
these gentlemen spent several weeks
here last year in plating and subdi-
yidlng Northumberland. During a drive
a poor blind man halted General
Bell, identified by his good wife
and told the general that he had been
allowed to pitch his tent on a lot
owned by other parties and possibly
would be notified TO move in a few
days witt his wife and 8 children.
The blg-hearted general turned to Col
Townsend and said:
Colonel, let US make these
people a present Of a lot for a per-
manent home. We will, / am sure,
lose nothing thereby and who knows,
Colonel, how soon we may lose our
eyesGht?
"The colonel said:
Nobody can get any edge on me.
This simple liberal conversation
sold to Mr.. Dumpsey, Of Springfield,
Mo-, a travelling man, who was in the
party, four choice lots at $500, pur-
chaser r~emarking: "These boys are
not here to skin the people "
