chine at End of Fifteen
Mile Aerial
Trip

DENVER, Feb. 2.-Louis Paulhan
made 15-mile cross-country flight at
Overland park today in driving snow
storm Plodding through three inches
of snow at the start, Paulhan warmed
up his engine by preliminary flight
of about eight miles. 1t was bitterly
cold. but after donning heavier cloth
ing he again rose in the air and swing
ing wide over the crowds on the hills
above the track disappeared in the
snow aurries over the western foot
hills.
Starting straight for the mountains,
he swung back in a wide circle over
the factories of South Denver, and
after a few moments of fancy maneu-
vering above the course alighted with
in a few feet of his starting place.
The snow settled thlckly on the
planes of the machine, but seemed to
cause the aviator no inconvenience.
Several thousand spectators tore down
the fences about the track and built
fires to keep warm.
Paulhan was so stiff from cold after
the flight that he had to be helped
from the machine.

BABY'S SHOE FIGURES
IN STRANGE ROMANCE
Money Found in Lining of Tramp's
Coat Finds Way to Rghtful
Owner by Means of
Infants Slipper

In February. 1909, a tramp, old and
infirm, his clothing torn and patched,
entered the Pisgah home for treatment.
A few days later he died, without Civ
ing his name or any information con-
cerning his past life. In the search
for something to identify him, Dr.
Yoakum, in charge Of the home, found
$910.7S sewed inside the lining of the
old coat. From the inside pocket of
the same garment he took babys
tiny shoe. Yesterday the little shoe
was brought into the probate court by
Thomas j. Franklin of San Francisco,
whose foot it once covered, but who
has now grown to manhood and has
children of his own.
Franklin's home, written on a slip
of paper, was found in the shoe some
time after the old tramps death. He
was communicated with and came to
Los Angeles, Identifying the shoe as
one taken by his father, Nathan Har-
rison Franklin, 21 years ago. OF the es-
tate of more than 5000, the report to the
court showed that $500 remains, the rest
OF the money having been spent by the
son in placing a monument over his
fathers grave.
Mr.. Franklin said his father left
home 81 years ago and that all trace Of
him had since been lost.

Belasco theater company's perform
ance of George Broadhurst's political
play. THE Man of the Hour" last

cheers and for over three minutes it
was impossible for the Belasco actors
to go on with the play.
The management Of the Belasco thea
ter announced last night that "The
Man of the Hour" would be continued
for a second week, commencing next

STEALS AUTO FROM
UNDER OWNERS EYES
Bold Thief Drives Machine Off, and
Strenuous Efforts to Capture
Him Prove to Be
Futile

An automobile owned by the Wilson
& Burlington company, whose garage
is at 842 South Olive street, was stolen
last night from in front of the house
at 14O1 Winfield street The auto,
which is q Moline, was driven by Mr..
Wilson, who stopped the machine to
converse with a friend.
Although standing within fifty feet
of the car, Wilson was unaware what
happened until he saw the auto start
ing down the street with a man at
the wheel. His efforts to stop the theft
were futile, and although he reported
the matter to police headquarters at
once, the machine was not recovered
at an early hour this morning.
The car, which is a five-passenger
machine of the latest model, is valued
at about $4,000, and carried the Cali
fornia register number 29207.
That it was a deliberate robbery
and not the usual attempt made for a
joy ride is the opinion of Mr.. Wilson,
and the morning police watch was.
given detailed description of the
theft.

NICKLE PLATE ROBBERS
AGAIN EFFECT H0LDUP
Daring Thugs object of Vigorous
Search by Police, but Manage
to Evade Capture

]. c. Morrisey, 91O West Seventh
street, reported at police headquarters
last night that he was held up by two
men at the corner of Montrose and
Alvarado streets and robbed of S1.25
According to the description of the
highwaymen given by Morrissey the
police believe it is the two men known
as the ''nickle plate" robbers, who
committed the crime.
During the past month many reports
of daring holdups have been reported
to the police, and in every case the
description has tailed with that of
the two young men who have operat-
ed successfully and baffled the at
tempts of the police to effect a cap
ture.
Morrissey stated both men were
armed with revolvers, and while one
held a weapon to his head the other
rifled his pockets
Last nights holdup was the fourth
consecutive report of a similar nature
and despite the fact that extra police
precautions have been taken no arrest
has resulted.

LICENSED SHOW
IS PROGRESSING
ELABORATE DECORATION FOR
FIESTA PARK
Committee of Dealers Pleased with
Work and Promise Unqualified
Success When Affair Opens
to the Public

one of the most elaborate decora-
tive sche.n ever .Iut into effect at
any affair in the west has been planned
by the committee for the Licensed
Dealers auto show, which will be held
at Fiesta park February 10 to 26. De-
tails were completed yesterday, when

flooring in place. The framework
which will support the canvas roof has
also been erected and everything Is
progressing nicely toward the perfect
conditions which Will govern When the
show is opened.
outdoor effects will prevail when the
decorators complete their tasks. In
stead of barren poles rising from the
floor as roof supports, the timbers VIII
be covered with redwood bark, con-
Veying an impression of the forest prl-
meval. Greenery will be festooned
from the myriad lights with which the
place will be illuminated, and pre-
vailing color scheme of green and
white will further carry out the idea.
over $4,000 will have been invested be-
fore the work is completed to the sat
isfaction of the committee.

surpass anything of the kind ever at
tempted on the coast, and in addition
to the decorations themselves every
thing about the building will be in
accord. Opening night will be a great
affair." and with full list of entries

ASHLAND, Ore, Feb. 2.-The news
that a mysterious Frenchman giving
the name of Marquis Robert de Gour-
celle had been found in a lonely shoot
ing hut near Alvarado, suffering from
a bullet wound, has given rise to the
supposition here that he may be DR..
Arnold de Falaise, who disappeared
from here rather mysteriously last Oc-
tober.
DR.. de Falaise represented himself as
Of royal birth, formerly surgeon ma
jor in the French army and a bacteri-
oIogist and diagnostician of the Pas
teur institute. He represented himself
as establishing a local branch of the
institute for the treatment of tubercu-
losis cases. He was heard of once or
twice in Northern California.
The description of the wounded man
tallies closely with that of DR.. de Fa-
laise. DR.. de Falaise was a man of
superior education, and upon his dis
appearance local people who had be-
come acquainted with him sent out in
quiries through the local police. Active
search for him was dropped some time
ago,
