SOON WILL
END HOT CAMPAIGN
Election Tomorrow Marks Close of
One of Most Interesting Fights
in History of the
Hub City

BOSTON, Jan. 9.-When Boston goes
to the polls Tuesday, finis will be writ
ten to the most spectacular municipal
campaign this city has known for
years.
The election marks a departure for
Boston, as it is to be held under
new charter, framed with a view of
making municipal elections non-par-
tisan. The candidates are named by
petition and the tickets will bear no
party designations.
One of the candidates, j. J. Storrow,
who resigned from the presidency of
the chamber of commerce to enter the
campaign, is a man of wealth, the
leader of the so-called "uplift'' forces.
Another, former Mayor John F. Fitz-
gerald, nicknamed Little General"
has been on the defensive practically
all the time. He has pleaded for re-
election to free himself of the stigma
that attached itself to his administra-
ton through exposure of graft among
subordinates in the city hall.
The present mayor, George A. Hib-
bard, has made strong appeal for re-
election on party lines, despite the evil
dent intention of the new charter to
eliminate party politics from municipal
government.
Nathaniel B. Taylor, the fourth can
didate, has been much quieter than
any of the others.
An unusual feature of the campaign
has been the charge that local traction
interests have been supporting one of
the candidates.

NEW BUSINESS BOOSTS
IRON AND STEEL TRADE
Contracts Let for 10000 Tons of Rails
and 1926 Cars and Loco
motives

NEW YORK, Jan. "a fair volume
of new business was developed in iron
and steel products during the first
week in January, interest being mainly
centered in rails, structural and fabri-
Gated steel in the eastern district, and
in billets, sheets and bars in the CEN
tral west.
Contracts for rails were 10000 tons,
including orders for the Chesapeake
and Ohio, the Burlington and the
Grand Trunk. Orders have been placed
for 2300 cars and twenty-five locomo-
tives, and contracts for 5000 cars are
pending.
There is considerable activity and
aggressive competition for Fabricated
steel orders for buildings, and bridges.
Prices have not changed essentially.
The December production of all kinds
of pig iron was 2,675,00 tons, record
breaking output.

ZELAYA TO BE DEALT
WITH LIKE ORDINARY
ALIEN UNDER TREATY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.~Former
President Zelaya of Nicaragua, if his
extradition from Mexico is requested,
will be treated like any other foreign
citizen in the latter republic existing
treaties between Mexico and Nicaragua,
and the Mexican laws on the subject
being taken into careful consideration.
This was the declaration of Senior de
la Barra, ambassador from Mexico to
the United States, who arrived here to-
day on his return from Mexico.
Absolutely no change in the friendly
feeling between Mexico and the United
States has taken place, according to
Senior de la Barra. The two countries
are as one, he asserted, in their desire
to bring about a resumption of peaceful
conditions in Nicaragua.
The ambassador tomorrow will pay
his respects to Secretary Knox and pos
sibly arrange a date to confer on the
future joint action of Mexico and the
United States as regards Nicaragua

AVIATORS FACE
CAMERABATTERY
MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS GO TO
DOMINGUEZ FIELD
Mrs. Glenn Curtiss and Famous Hus-
band Forced to Go Through
Trying Ordeal to Satisfy
Picture Men
Ry \ PHOTOGRAPHERS

Although Glenn H. Curtiss, the fa-
nous American aviator, who estab
lished a new record for aeroplanes at
the international aviation meet at
Rheims, probably has appeared before
larger crowds than that which greeted
him yesterday afternoon, when he
made the first flight of the Los Angeles
aviation meet, it is doubtful if he
ever in his entire career faced a more
formidable battery of cameras. From
the huge instrument mounted like
machine gun to the tiny Brownie ko-
dak, the picture machines hedged in
the daring aviator in a solid phalanX.
and not until he had afforded to all an
opportunity to snapshot him was Cur
tiss permitted to start his machine.
Smiling with good -natured tolerance,
however, the aviator sat patiently in
the seat of his biplane, turning this
way and that in response to the cries
of first one Camera fiend' and then
another. Curtiss first took his place
in the aeroplane, and posed for photo
graphs, in compliance with the re-
quests of press photographers but no
sooner was the redoubtable navigator
of the air seen in the seat of the BIZ
plane than the machine was sur
rounded by a small army of enthusi-
astic amateurs. Never for q moment,
however, did the aviator appear weary
of making himself target for the
Photographic lens, but smilingly COM
piled with each request to 'look this
way, please, Mr.. Curtiss.''
4. Mrs Curtiss, the beautiful wife of
the pioneer aviator, who has accom-
panied him on his visit to this city,
also came in for her share of attention
at the hands of the artists and, like
her husband, went through what must
have been at least a wearisome ordeal
with smiling good nature After pos
ing for at least half a dozen photos,
Mrs. Curtiss, in response to the re-
quests of representatives of the press,
took her place at the steering wheel of
the biplane with which her husband
has broken every record of aerial navi-
cation, and with Mr.. Curtiss by her
side, once more faced the battery of
picture machines
Although neither Curtiss nor his wife
made signs of impatience, it was no
ticed that the latter, at least, gave an
audible sigh OF relief when it was all
over.

Doubtful

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The sharp
teeth and claws of Clayton. trained
leopard, nearly cost the life of Mrs.
Pauline Russell, his trainer, today,
but the length of his tail saved her.
Clayton was ugly and would not
perform. Mrs. Russell prodded him
with an iron bar and called to her as
sistant for aid. AS she turned her
head to call for aid, the leopard leaped.
He bore his mistress to the ground
and stood over her, growing and
lashing his tail The quick-witted as
sistant, rushing into the cage, grabbed
Clayton's tail, took a double hitch
around the bars of the cage with it
and rescued Mrs. Russell in safety.
The woman was badly torn and at
the hospital it was said her recovery
was doubtful. The attack occurred in
private training quarters.

LAYMAN ON HEALTH B0RD
Consulting Engineer Resigns Position
Paying $4,000 Year to Take
One of $500

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Mayor Gaynor
maintained his reputation for political
whimsicalities tonight by appointing a
layman independent in politics to sue
ceed DR.. Thomas A. Darlington as
health commissioner
The appointee is Ernest j. Lederle,
who resigns a position as consulting
sanitary engineer with the state and
local water supply boards, which paid
him $4,000 year. His position as
health commissioner carries a salary
of half that amount.
Mr.. Lederle is an expert chemist and
a graduate of Columbia university, but
he is not a doctor of medicine. He was
head of the health board under Mayor
Low.
The mayor also appointed Charles B.
Stover prominently identified with
settlement work and park Improve
ment, to succeed Henry Smith as park
commissioner This is the position
which Herman Ridder declined.

ACCUSED OFFICIALS
DENY ACCUSATIONS
AND HINT AT PLOT

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Jan. g.
John d. Benedict and other accused
Indian officials made full denial OF
the charges of Secretary BalAngef
when interviewed tonight. They hint
that politics might be held responsible
for the accusations and that Super
visor Oscar H. Lipps' methods were
nothing less than "sneaky."
Il have had an idea that something
of that kind would happen for some
time said superintendent Benedict,
when interviewed at his home IN
Muskogee. ut has been brought TO
nv attention in more ways than one
that other fellows are after my job, SO
I telegraphed washington last week
that should there be any charges
against my administration, l might
have a chance to answer them. i re
ceiyed a reply that / would be given
full opportunity to prepare and present
my answer.
bv 'disgraceful conditions 1t is prob
able that Lipps came to Oklahoma eX-
Meeting to find the schools in the same
condition as government reservation
schools.
Schools in Ruin
Government buildings used for
schools under my direction are in rum
and many of our teachers have left us
to teach in the state schools.
"Mr. Lipps did not come to see me
and ask about matters, but went TO
each one of the schools without meet
ing the supervisors 1t is an easy mat
ter for anyone to go to any school and,
bv ouizzing the pupils about condi-
tions and the treatment accorded them,
render an unfavorable report.
"In regard to my connection with
Indian affairs which renders it wrong
for me to hold official position, 1 think
there must be some mistake. The only
position that l hold that could in any
way have a bearing on the situation
is that to which I was appointed by
Governor Haskell on the state text
book board.
Il would consider this an advantage
and calculated to help in my regular
work. 1 wish to say though, that I
have never had any business dealings
with the Indians, nor have L dealt in

EXPECTED RELAXATION IN
MONEY RATES MISSING
FURRY in Call Funds on First Day of
Business Year Due to Re-
adjustments

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The opening
transactions for the new year in the
stock market last week had not pro-
ceeded far when it became manifest
the resources of the money market had
been misealculated by speculative in
terests.
Their confidence in prompt relaXa-
ton in the money market with the
turn OF the year and in active rein
vestment proved unfounded.
The unexpected furry in call money
on the first business day of the year
was primarily due to readjustments of
the heavy shifting of loan obligations
last fall. The violence of the selling in
Rock Island caused rumors of dissen-
sionS
The stock market showed itself sem
sitive throughout the week to the

CORONER WILL
HOLD INQUEST
MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEATH
OF YOUNG BOY
ASSERTION MADE THAT BEATING
WAS CAUSE
Undertaker's Employees Refuse to AL
low Remains to Be Seen Until
Coroner Gives Permission
This Morning

Mystery is said to surround the
death of Charles T. Miller 9-year-old
son of Mrs. S. A. Parker, who died
yesterday afternoon at Hotel Berkeley,
908 South Main street, and late last
night it was determined that an in
quest would be held this morning at
the undertaking establishment of w.
II. Sutch, where the body was taken.
At the coroner's office it was report
ed that, although there may have been
ill treatment of the child, mo investi-
cation would be conducted until morn
ing" No other information was vol
unteered or obtainable.
For several hours yesterday police
reporters worked on the case, and at
last learned the body Of the child had
been sent from the hotel to the Sutch
undertaking rooms, but efforts to find
the parents were unavailing. Various
reports as to the cause of death are
said to have been made to the cor
oner's office, one of them being cred
tied to a Humane society agent who
notified the police and coroner that a
young boy had been beaten to DEATH
Any attempts by newspaper men to
view the remains at the undertaken
were met with curt refusal, the en-
ployes there stating that not until the
coroner gave permission at the inquest
this morning could outsiders see the
body.
DR.. E. J. Cook, the attending physi-
clan, stated the boy died from pneu-
monia, and that he would sign GER
tificate of death giving that disease
as the cause.
Efforts to locate Mr.. and Mrs. Parker
last night We're futile. They left the
hotel shortly after the death of the
boy, according to the statement of
Proprietor James Mcnamara of the
Berkeley, who also stated the boy re-
sided with his grandmother at Watts
until a week or two ago. Parker is

Liquor Dealers Voluntarily Suspend
Business on Sabbath Day to
Offset Prohibition

DENVER, Jan. 9.-Denver was dry
in the strictest sense of the word to-
day by the voluntary action of hotel
managers and saloonkeepers.
The purchase of a sandwich or q
meal did not serve as an excuse to
secure liquor, and hotel guests in their
rooms were forced to go thirsty or
moisten arid throats with mountain
water.
The complete drought, which the po-
lice have never been able 2 to secure,
marks one of the efforts of the saloon
men to counteract the widespread
movement to vote absolute prohibition
for Denver at the next election. The
hotelmen say the Sunday drought will
be permanent

CURTISS DENIES
WRIGHT CHARGE
DISCLAIMS USE OF RUDDER TO
BALANCE BIPLANE
NOTED AVIATOR CONFIDENT HE
WILL WIN SUIT
Declares Principle in His Machine and
One on Which Alleged lnfrinse=
ment Is Based Are App
piled Differently

After comforting with Louis Paulhan
yesterday afternoon Glenn H. Curtiss,
inventor of the Curtiss biplane which
has several worlds records to it's
credit, discussed at length the litiga-
ton against him and the Curtiss-Her-
ring Manufacturing company brought
by the Wright brothers, inventors of
the Wright biplane. He is firm in the
belief he will win his points when final
Judgment is rendered. because his ma
chine and the Wright machine, al
though based on the same general
principle, apply the principle IN an en-
tirely different manner.
"The main point and practically the
only contention brought against us by
the Wright brothers for alleged in
fringement of their patents is the
method of maintaining lateral bal
ance," said Mr.. Curtiss.
'"The main planes of the Wright ma
chine are curved, and as they warp
these to maintoin equilibrium greater
resistance is exerted on one side of the
machine than is encountered on the
other, resulting in a turning tendency
of the machine. This turning tendency
is overcome on their machines by use
of the vertical rudder in the rear.
IAN entirely different means of
maintaining equilibrium is used on the
machines which 1 fly. To balance the
aeroplane fiat surfaces placed between
the main surfaces of the two sides of
the machine are used. The result is
that at all times the resistance is the
same on each of these balancing planes,
and the rudder is at no time required
to assist the balancing operation.
LAS the contention of the Wright
brothers is that we are required to use
the rear vertical rudder in combina-
ton with the lateral controlling planes,
or aerolons, it is apparent to all those
who f1y our machines and those who
have viewed them in flight the Wright
infringement suit is based on an erro-
neous impression or misleading infor-
