BALuINGER TAKES THE STAND
Brands Claws as a "Willful and Delhi
crate Liar"


MISUNDERSTANDING denying he
had been guilty of any wrongdoing, Rich
ard A. Ballinger, secretary of the inte-
rior, made a bitter attack upon his crit
les while a witness before the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigating committee Friday
and characterized many of the sworn
statements of his principal accuser, L. r.
CLAWS, as "willful and deliberate lies"
Led on by his attorney, Mr.. Vertress,
the cabinet officer answered one by one
the indictments of those who would de-
stroy him. He referred with apparent
pride to Theodore Roosevelt's high esti.
mate of him, particularly referring to a
statement made when Ballinger was com.
missioner of the land office that he
(Roosevelt) has secured a $4,000 man
for s5,00O."
He defended his conduct in connection
with the Cunningham coal cases and
emphatically stated that he would take
the same action today as he did when at
the head of the land office if he had the
same record before him.

Turkey has just ordered some new
warships from English firms, passing
over the advantages held out by Amer
lean concerns. But that country is
no wholly neglectful of the chances
offered on this side of the ocean. Con-
sular reports indicate that such cities
as Bagdad and Bassorad are good
markets for American motor boats,
which are admitted to have no SUI
periors. So it is evident that the
Young Turks know some good things
when they see them.

feel they must demonstrate TO the
world that aviation is not wild dream
in order to preserve their own reputa-
tions. 1 know that Clifford Harmon,
owner of the $4,000 balloon New York,
is anxious to make some aeroplane
flights here. He has been studying
the management and operation of BIZ
planes for some time, and will prob
ably go up in one of our machines.
MI Curtiss no longer makes flights
for exhibition merely. He has en-
ployed Mr. Hamilton for that purpose.
He will make flights in order to for
ward the sport and for scientific pur-
poses, but he will not make flights for
any other purpose.
1T may have been forgotten by the
public, but Mr.. Curtiss made the fast
est mile ever known. AT Ormond
Beach, on his eight-cylinder, forty
horsepower motorcycle, he rode a mile
in 26 and 2-5 seconds. No railroad train
ever went as fast as that.
"Mr. Curtiss will enter as many con-
tests as there are during the Los An
geles meeting. He is now out after
prizes. We had expected to have him
try for the Nichelin trophy here, but
could not get a proper machine built
in time"

Engstrum Company sparing No Labor
In Completing Grand Stand and

An army of men is feverishly. en-

stand on Dominguez field for Aviation
week. The ring of hammers and the
buzz of saws begins early in the morn
ing and does not cease until darkness
stops the work. for the Engstrum
company is under contract to finish
the stand by next Sunday, and 1t Will
take constant work to complete the
task. A force of $50 men went to work
yesterday and another force Of IT'S
will be added today.
The stand will seat $4,000 people.
Every seat will permit an unobstruct-
ed view of the aviation field and sheds
where the various heavier-than-air
machines will be housed. The sale of
tickets is indicative of a large at
tendance every day of the meeting.
Work on the sheds for housing the
machines is going ahead rapidly. The
sheds and the tents for the dirigibles
will be completed tomorrow or Thurs
day, at which time the machines will
be moved to the field.

A glimpse of Halley's comet, slght

a lecture on aviation, a demonstration
of day and night signaling by the ma
tional guard signal corps and special
demonstration by the huge electric
searchlight are some of the features OF
the special aviation excursion up Mt.
Lowe, which will be taken tomorrow
The excursion is under the auspices OF
the Womans Aviation club and is for
the benefit of the Aviation week fund.
A special rate of 50 for the round trip
has been made by the Pacific Electric
company, and a record attendance is
expected. Everything possible will be
done for the comfort and entertain
ment of those making the trip.
The Pacific Electric will run trains
every hour, beginning at o'clock to-
morrow morning and continuing late
in the afternoon. Return will be made
at the pleasure of the eXcursionists.
As soon as a carload is ready to leave
for the city the car will start, regard

of the low rate.
No charge will be made for admis-

features of the mountain trip. Prof,
Larkin will turn the huge telescope on
the path of Halley's comet and it is
expected the winging messenger OF the
air will be visible.
Arrangements have been made to
take care of a large number of people
at Mt. Lowe tavern. Nobody will be
allowed to go hungry, for ample sup

Company A of the signal corps will
give a special program in the afternoon
and evening. The demonstrations will
be directed by First Lieut.. H. T.
Bathey and will include a special test
of the big searchlight on Mt. Lowe.
The light has 100000 candle power,
and Lieut.. Bathey thinks it can be
utilized to great advantage in signal
ing long distances, particularly in COM
municating out to sea- The signal
corps squad will test the light, utiliz-
ing the Meyer code as adapted to HASH
ing signals with a searchlight
A number of private cars will be sent
out on the Aviation day trip tomorrow
and the teachers will take cars at
o'clock in the afternoon. They are
particularly impelled to make the trip
to witness the demonstration of signal
ing. The method of using flags, the
heliograph, rockets and searchlight will
be explained by Lieut. Bathey and
members of his squad.
A large advance sale of tickets for

STREET PAVING GAME
BLOCKED BY MAYOR
city's Chief Executive Says Such a
Law Would Pave the Way
for Real Estate
Chicanery

Mayor Alexander has, through his
veto of the proposed street improve
ment ordinance, blocked what he con-
siderS a bad measure. He withheld
his veto until the last minute of the
ten days allowance by law in order
that the new council might act upon
it. Mayor Alexander considers the pro-
posed measure unbenef1cial to property
holders at large and prepared in the
interest of certain real estate pro-
moterS.
The veto will be handed to the new
council this morning when it meets for
the first transaction of business in its
regime, and it is believed the council
will sustain the mayor in his action.
The contest has been a long drawn out
one. By vetoing the proposed meas
ure it is believed Mayor Alexander has
ended the contest for the present, if
sage is in part as follows:
1.-THE purpose of the street ordinance
is to compel the Improvement of streets
in such a manner as to assure the pub
lie of good street surfaces which are
easily kept in repair and free from
dust. Apparently the purpose of the
proposed section la, here under con-
sideration, is to enable few parties
to construct streets in new tracts and
putting those streets in first-class con-
dition; and the most vicious part of it
is that this section enables them to
treat the surface" In other words,
by putting on an inch of crushed rock,
without the proper or any base save
the natural soil, a street could be made
which, apparently, was a good macad-
am road, but which probably would
not last after the first heavy rain; thus
giving the opportunity to unscrupulous
agents to impose upon the purchasers
of real estate
"If the rules of street construction
are proper rules 1 can see no reason
why they should be abrogated in favor
of few. If they are not proper they
should be changed.
'"The improvement of streets is done
at the expense of the property owners.
The city is not obliged to take care of
or sprinkle unimproved streets. The
greatest source of complaint in the
street department is from people who
live on unimproved streets, complain
ing that the streets are not taken care
Of This trouble should not be in
creased, nor should opportunity be
given for INSCRIPTIONS agents to de-
ceive real estate buyers as to streets
through new tracts"
