murrer of Northwestern
Pacific on All Points

The demurrer of the Northwestern
Pacific railroad in the case now before
the railroad commission, in which Will
liam Paff and other citizens of Tiburon
seek to have the passenger fares be-
tween this city and Tiburon reduced
and to compel the Northwestern Pacific
to give a better service between the
two points, was sustained yesterday

PORTER PLAYS The
ROLE OF SOLOMON
Lieutenant Governor Decides to
Divide Family Despite Ok
IatOma Requisition

Il want my baby, your honor, that's
my reason for coming away out to
California. There isn't any other rea-
son at ali, but 1 just want my girl
This is the way that Mrs. Rosa Mar
tin presented her case before Lieuten-
ant Governor Warren R. Porter yester-
day afternoon in asking that her hus-
band, who has married again and is in
San Diego with the child, be taken
back to Oklahoma on a writ Of extra
dition. Porter denied the writ on the
ground that the mother already had
one of her two children and had agreed
with the husband that he could have
the custody of the 8 year old girl. The
broken hearted woman left for her
home at Adair, Okla, last night. Sher-
iff /. S. Dallas of Mayes county, who
came to serve the writ and take Mar
tin away, also left for his Oklahoma
home at Prior. The two had been here
10 days awaiting their hearing and
they were disheartened by the decision.
Mrs. Martin told in simple language
the story of her marriage, the divorce
two years ago and the trouble she had
with her husband regarding the Gus
tody of the two children, a boy and a
Slll- llc SOuI - gave ~ llGT Tie GUS
tody of both children, but, being poor,
she allowed Martin to take the boy,
Claude She said yesterday that the
lad was soon in rags and running the
streets, so she agreed to let her hus-
band take the girl, feeling that he
would care well for her. and she
took the boy. Porter decided the case
on this fact, stating that the writ was
denied because Mrs. Martin had one
child, Martin the other, and that it was
a fair division.
Judge f. A. Cutler and a San Diego
attorney appeared for Martin, and Cut
Ter made an effective argument upon
the sufficiency of the application for
the writ, declaring that the application
did not present sufficient grounds J.
Charles Jones, deputy state attorney
general, who appeared for Mrs Martin
and Sheriff Dallas, stated that the ap-
plication was specific enough for the
purpose. Then Porter decided that as
the husband had one child and the wife
the other the matter was evenly bal
anced and there was no need to grant
the writ.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.--The execu-

committee of San Francisco has re-
quested the navy department to desig-
nate warship to serve as a landing
place for an aeroplane.
The board is to conduct experiments
with aeroplanes during the flights from

that Eugene Ely. having successfully
risen in an aeroplane from the deck OF
the Birmingham, opportunity should be
afforded for demonstrating the converse
proposition.

Grant Will Fly

Douglas Grant, son of Joseph d.
Grant, one of the wealthiest young
bachelors in the Burlingame set. is the
latest of the prominent local men to de-
eide TO enter the coming meet at Tan
foran. Grant signifed his intention
yesterday afternoon, but went his com
petitors one better by deciding that he
would purchase biplane and run it in
opposition to Colonel Frank Johnson,
DR.. w. A. McEnery and the other So
ciety men who intend to compete.
Bud" Mars. who is staying at the
Palace, will instruct young Grant in
the art of learning to fly his new toy.
In his opinion the art of aviation de-
pends on a mans self possession and
skill in landing his machine. Grants
lessons in the art will begin at once.
Bud Mars was also authority for the
statement yesterday that the airship
is practically useless as a weapon to
drop bombs on battleships AS a. scout.
he believes, its region Of usefulness is
practically unlimited, but the efforts of
the government to establish aeroplanes
as efficient fighting weapons are futile
1T is all very we'll, he said, "to drop
oranges and lozenges on a target with
a startling degree of accuracy, but in
order to dynamite battIeship one
would have to carry a bomb of no small
weight. In the future we may be able
to carry three bombs, but we can not
be absolutely sure of our marksn1an-
ship. The experiments Of hitting an
airship with a rife are also doomed to
failure, as an airshfp one mile in the
sky is a mere speck. 1t could be made
with celluloid planes so that a marks
man could not see, much less hit it.
Consequently a fight between one and a
man of war would be absurd. However,
an airship can easily fly over city and
start a conf1agration.
MY opinion is that the function of
an airship will be that of a scouting
auxiliary. It will not be a fighting
weapon"
