MANY Want TO FLY.
Aviators Could Make Fortune Car

Aviation Field. Los Angeles, CAL,
Jan. 14.-Southern California day OF
the aviation meeting was not blessed
with favorable weather and the spe-
cial events on the program carried a
weather proviso.
Paulhan, who went up nearly a mile
toward the sky on Wednesday and
carried eight passengers at different
times yesterday, hints of more thrill
ing things. He may try to break his
friends there is a we'll defined feeling
that this altitude record will remain
unchallenged here.
Curtiss daily is demonstrating the
practicability of his machines. He has
not said so, but his friends feel that
insists on penetrating the upper mys-
terieS.
Curtiss today was scheduled to try
for the passenger carrying prize and
also the speed prize for the lap. He
already holds the record for this
Aviators as they reached their
headquarters were met with a deluge
of requests to take them up. The lit
tie matter of money was no consider
alton. Both Curtiss and Paulhan
could make a good sized fortune if
they gave up trying for more prizes
and devoted the rest of the meet to
taking on passengers for short flights
at SO much a mile. The monoplanes
are preparing to fly today. Long
needed parts arrived for the Bleriot
dragon Fly and Pau1han expects to
try it soon. This is the type eff ma

landed his passengers in front of the
grandstand. disclosed the fact today
that they had come all the way from
Paris to make this thrilling journey
in the air and to gain the distinction
of being the first two people to enjoy
the novel sensation in America
''It was glorious" said the Count De
Ponnendorff 'tbut now that it is ac-
complished I am not at all satisfied. I
must be one of three passengers next
time; perhaps today, perhaps tomor-
row."

an aeroplane.

BIG POSTAL DEFICIT.

Washington. JAM 14.-Arraigning the
express companies for making enor-
now profits on an infringement of the
governments rights to monopoly of
TRANSPORTING mail and criticizing the
postoffice department for surrendering
that right. Representative Murdock of
Kansas today, introduced a long reso-
luton calling on the postmaster general
for information
For many years.. says Mr. Murdock,
the postoff1ce department has been
surrender.ng its monopoly on the trans
portation of packet mail matter under
authority of a regulation foot note ap-
parently based on an unpublished let
ter to Postmaster General James from
Attorney General MacVeagh in 1851
declaring that packets meant packages
of letters.
The resolution says that while the
postoffice department last year had a
deficit of $17, 100000 the Wells Fargo
Express company distributed nearly
$25,0O0.000 in dividends and that the gov
ernment's failure to exercise monopoly
in transporting mail is enriching the
express companies.

FIND LAW 0DI0US.
Manufacturers Object to Publicity
Clause in Corporation Statute.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-two hundred
and fifty delegates, representing sixty
important commercial and industrial
organizations of the country, met here
today to take action towards the re-
peal of the publicity feature of the
new corporation tax law. The meet
ing was held under the auspices of
the Illinois Manufacturers association.
Laverne W. Noyes, president of the
Illinois Manufacturers association,
who opened the conference. said the
publicity clause would in no way stop
the great majority of evils and viola
tions of the law now existing in the
criminal corporations
Had liberal prize been offered by
the arch mischief maker for the best
method of making corporation control
by the government odious,' said Mr..
Noyes, nothing better could have
been devised than the gathering and
posting for public inspection and curl
osfty and misuse of the details of the
business of the smaller corporations.
A cunning hand inserted the publicity
clause in the national corporation tax
law. thereby making the law odious.
Congress can and should remedy this
defect

ONE PRIZE AWARDED.
Willard Starts and Stops AeropIane in
20 Feet Space.

Aviation Camp, Los Angeles, JAN
14.-While Louis PaulhaE of France
did nothing SO wonderful yesterday as
sailing pathway to Paradise, he took
up two sengers-Miscarol and
Maisson, his assistants-circled the
field with them several times, and cut
across lots' in what was considered
an attempt to slow down Glenn H.
Curtiss, who was flying the regular
course at the same time for a ten-lap
speed record. The passengers were
landed safely and 10000 women
breathed signs of relief.
Flights with one passenger became
an ordinary event. No speed or alti-
tude or endurancesrecords were brok-
en-, but the days trials demonstrated
the possibility of the. airship as COM
mercial and at least as a sporting
factor
Curtiss protested against PauIhan's
getting in the way of the Curtiss ma
chine in the ten lap trial and a con-
test may develop. His total time was
4 minutes 54 2-5 seconds. Later Paul
han tried to beat this. but failed by
seconds.
Earlier in the day, with his wife as
a passenger Paulhan made three laps
of the course in Sis 1-5. He flew
over the judges stand, after circling
the field and alighted easily in the
starting square. On another fight of
seven minutes he had Miss Dick Fer
ris as passenger. He cut corners,
flew low over the stands and seemed
to enjoy his pranks.
These were the days chief fea-
lures:
Paulhan set the mark at S:16 1-5 in
the official trial for three laps in the
passenger carrying contest with Nine.
Paulhan as his passenger.
Curtiss failed in his attempt to low
er the three-lap record which he set
the previous day. Hamilton, Paulhan,
Curtiss and Willard qualified in the
| three-lap flights for all events
Willard duplicated his feat of start
ing, flying around the course once and
landing in measured space of twenty
feet winning the prize of $3.50.
Charles K. Hamilton, in a Curtiss
machine, tried for the ten-lap speed
record, but landed on his third lap be-
cause of engine trouble.
Paulhan ascended with two passen-
gers and circled the field several
| times.
Glenn H. Curtiss tried for the ten
| lap record, but failed. His total time
was 24:54 2-5 and his mile averaged
2:29 2-5.
Paulhan tried to break Curtiss
mark for the ten laps but failed, max
ing it in 24:59 2-5.

COHEN MAY GO FREE.
1t Appears That There Is No Case
Against EIOping Waiter.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan 14-There
is a possibility that Frederick Cohen
will go unpunished for the part he
took in the escapade with Miss
Roberta De Janon, the young heiress.
The police today made the en-
phatic statement that Cohen did not
harm the girl and the young runaway
still adheres to her story that she
alone was responsible for the affair.
After an interview with the waiter in
the cell his lawyer told reporters that
Cohen, under the law, committed no
crime.
The girl is in a private apartment
of hospital under the care of nerve
specialist. 1t is quite likely size will
be kept there for some days.
Mrs. Julia Cohen, the deserted wife,
who was taken to a hospital last night,
in a state of nervous collapse, was
better today.
After a brief hearing today Cohen
was committed to the county prison

Prof. F. F. Banes of Philadelphia, who
is delivering a course of lectures here.
1.-The best companion for a child of 5

more intelligent than a kitten or 4
dog; it is good natured and it will fol-

SENTENCE WAS MISTAKE
Judge Pleads for Freedom of Two Life
Convicts.

Chicago. Jan. 14.-In letter to Gov
ernor Deneen, pleading for two life con-
victs in the Joliet penitentiary, Judge
H. v. Freeman says he believes he
sentenced innocent men. and asks that
the pardon board make reparation by
freeing them.
The prisoners, Thomas McNaJly and
Charles Kurh. have been in the peni-
tentiary nearly 16 years. They with a
companion, Edward Warren. were con-
victed of the murder of James Prunty
and his sen Peter. in November, 1893.
Warren died in prison several years ago.
1t is not known what led Judge Free
man to change his mind as to the guilt
of the men.

up the coroner and told him he had
telephoned to his mother after the
girl died. Jackson, it is said, did not
spend any time today at the home OF
his wife, where the body is laid out.
There is considerable feeling in
Easton over the case. The girls
father, who is not very well-to-do,
says he thinks Jackson should say
something. His daughter worked in
a little hotel at Easton when Jack
son met her.
Jackson admits having had some
correspondence with his mother rela-
tive to his wife, and the coroner ad-
mits that there is in existence let
ter which probably will throw some
light on the case if it can be found.
1t is reported that evidences of
strychnine poisoning were found in
the second post-mortem examination
made yesterday afternoon. The in
quest has been adjourned until Tues
day and if any traces of poison are
found testimony will be taken by the
coroner to determine whether it was
administered by another person or
taken with suicidal intent.
There is strong belief at Easton that
Mrs. Jackson committed suicide. 1t de-
VelopS that while she had been married
only six weeks there was lack of harmony
in her domestic affairs and that the rela-
tives knew about it. 1t is known that
self.
Royal Jackson, the husband, avoids
talking about the case as much as possi-
BILE. After he learned yesterday that the
coroner had a copy of the telegram mes
sage sent to him by his mother from To-
peka he acknowledged to Coroner c. G.
Smith that he had a telephone conversa-
ton with his mother in Topeka Tuesday
afternoon.
Royal Jackson worked as a clerk in C.
NJ Knowlton's drug store at $50 Kansas
avenue for a year quitting about two
months ago Mr. Knowlton says he was
a quiet well behaved young man. He
lived with his mother, Mrs. Jno OLSON,

years ago, which provides that no
employer shall discharge any en-
ploye because he belongs to a labor

The decision was rendered in the
suit of Labor Commissioner Brack

who April 23 discharged and evicted
23 men,
Judge Sullivan decided that the
