The pigeons have become so tame

The popcorn man across the street
counts the pigeons his biggest asset

Latham, Soaring, Drops Pass to Auto
Owner Who Peeps at Fliers---
Charity Checks Cheek

| w NJ Garland. head of the commit
| tee in charge of the charity aviation
! meet, received the surprise of his life
yesterday, when he was called on to
diagram the meaning of a sarcastic
note dropped to an automobile owner
Sunday by Hubert Latham from his
monoplane with the consent of the
committee.
The motorist was merely one of
many who had taken possession of one
of the public highways near the course
from which, sitting in their cars, they
were able to watch the aerial maneu-
vers free of charge. The attention of
Mr.. Garland and others of the COM
mittee was called to their presence
nearby Quickly they decided to send
a note, and Latham volunteered to de-
liver it. The note was written on his
card and read something like the fol-
lowing:
This aviation meet Is for the benefit
and interest of orphans and sick chill
dren. However, this will serve to pass
you into the grounds
Latham sailed out over the collection
of automobiles. and directing his course
so as to pass above one of the best
cars. dropped the note. The man in
the car got out quickly and picked up
the note. Within a short time he left
the field and the members of the COM
mittee believed that he had hurried
away because the sarcasm in the note
had struck home.
BUSINESS MEN WAIT on TABLE
Mr.. Garland was surprised when the
man walked into his office yesterday
but only for a moment.
Here comes a contribution to the
conscience fund" he thought
ut was a little late when l got this
note" said the man. Il want to know
if | can't get two passes today on it?''
Mr.. Garland gazed at the visitor in
amazement. 1t seemed impossible, he
said later, that there could be a per
son so obtuse as not to see that the
note was bit of sarcasm and nothing
more. But the man had not seen IT.

STEALS AUTO TO
GAIN NOTOR|ETY
Carriage Painter Admits He Pur-
Ioined Machine and Then
Reported Theft

Longing for notoriety, combined with
a burning desire to become a great de-
tective of the Sherlock Holmes type
led George y. White, Il carriage painter
living at III West Seventh street, to
steal an automobile and fake a story
about an attempted robbery which he
said he thwarted. Regarded by the
police three weeks ago somewhat in
the light of a hero, he is in the city
iail now. a thief by his own admissions,
the police assert.
one night three weeks ago White
reported to the detectives that a man
had tried to enter the store of the
Bailey & SCnmitH company in South
Spring street, and that he had fright
ened him away An automobile was
found i'm an alley back of the store
which White said the burglars had left
in their flight The machine was
identified as one stolen from George
r. Wilton last July.
Yesterday afternoon White was ar
rested by Detectives Mcnamara and
Roberds and patrol box keys were
found in his pockets. He confessed to
stealing the automobile and taking"
the story of the attempted theft from
the Spring street store.
Il have long wanted to become
great detective said White. and
last summer ! stole the automobile in
order to DO as many big detectives do.
I have read that they so from place
to place in automobiles and since
didn't have one of my own l stole one.
I simply wanted to get my name in
the newspapers when l reported the
attempted burglary three weeks ago.
1t was all put-up game"
Clippings We're found in Whites poe
kets, telling of his saving the Bailey
and Schmitz store from being burglar
lied
Il never enjoyed anything in my life
like I did those clippings" said White,
Il have always wanted to become a
public figure and the story about my
own bravery in frightening away the
burglars tickled me hugely. But after
all, I guess I must have been a fool"
White will be arraigned in police
court this morning on a charge of
grand larcenN.

However, he saw it before the con-
Versation ended.
Members of the committee do not
hesitate to express themselves forcibly
regarding people well enough off to
own the latest models in automobiles
but so penurious that they watch the
birdmen from vacant field rather
than pay the small sum asked for ad-
mission-especially since every cent In
excess of the actual expenses of the

Yesterday the number of automobile
owners gathered in the adjacent roads
to get a free show was still larger
Others stopped their cars in Compton
avenue and watched the flights from
that point, blockading the road to such
an extent that many persons who
wanted to get through into the space
reserved ON the field for automobiles
could not do so.
