One Of the anticipated pleasures of
ing club is the study of South America,
under the leadership of Mrs e. J. Ser
gel. The club is particularly fortunate
in securing this arrangement, as Mrs.
Sergel has passed five years in Argen-
tina and is well versed in the language
and customs of the country.
Professional demands made on Mr..
Sergel in his capacity Of electrical en-
gineer took him to various parts of
Argentina, and in going about with him
Mrs. Sergel had unusual advantages
denied to the casual traveller. They
passed one year in the ancient city of
Salto, in the Andes mountains. This
city is one OF the oldest of this hemi-
sphere, considerably outranking in that
respect our own St. Augustine, and
Mrs. Sergel had the distinction of being
the first North American woman to
visit it.
Mrs. Sergel has contributed many ar
ticles concerning life in South America
to the current magazines of this coun-
try.
In opening this new department the

priately selected October 12 Columbus

the installation Of the new president,
Senior Saenz Pena, Buenos Ayres was in
gala array at that time.
Mrs. Sergel opened the course Of talks
with brief description of life In the
southern hemisphere saying:
"As the southern people do not do
things by halves, we can imagine the
splendor of the inaugural ceremony. 1t
is also the centennial of their independ-
ence from Spain. One hundred years
ago San Martin, the George Washing
ton of the Southern America, freed
Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.
This year has marked also the compile
ton of the transandine railway, which
will unite the two great Spanish repub-
lies. The Pan-American congress was
held in Buenos Ayres last summer.
Altogether 1t has been an eventful year
to Argentina.
ia Prensa building, on Avenida de
Mayo, in Buenos Ayres, is conceded to
be the finest newspaper building in the
world. 1t cost $2.O00,000. 1t is five sto-
ries high, with a handsome facade. 1t
contains free dispensary OF medicines
for the poor, with doctors and assist
ants: a lawyer is there also to advise
those unable to pay for legal services.

is a library and a large hall for public
meetings, and there are many other

JAILED; THREATENS SUIT

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-'I'll sue Chi
cago for thousands of dollars and sum

my case. The police had no right to
put me in Jail. It's an outrage"
So declared L. r. Stogdill. said to be

JUDGE WHO GAVE ABE RUFF
14-YEAR TERM COMMENDED

A typical editorial support OF Judge
William p. Lawlor for associate JUS
tice of the supreme court is the follow
ing received by Press Agent Lou
Guernsey of the Democratic committee
from the Los Palos Star:
"Judge William P. Lawlor, the hon
est judge that sentenced Ruef to four
teen years in the penitentiary, should
have the support of every decent gov
ernment lover in the state.
"He has stood for Justice to the rich

years on the bench and is at present
seeking the office of associate justice
OF the supreme court on the non-par-
tisan Judiciary plank advocated by
both parties.

Five or Six Los Angeles Aero
planes to Enter Contest
October %
COMPETITION WILL BE KEEN

San Diego members of the Aero club
of California are confident that their
representatives in the Aero clubs meet
at the motordrome next Saturday and
Sunday will carry off all the leading
prizes. The Knabenshue cup, the
most coveted trophy of the Aero club,
has already been secured by San
Diego aviator, b. F. Roehrig, who
proved himself the first man in South
ern California to fly a considerable
distance with his own aeroplane.
In Roehrig and Charles +. Walsh lie
the hopes of the San Diegans, although
there will be other flying entries from
the Silver Gate city. The former, who
has a machine of the Henry Farman
type, but constructed according to his
own ideas, has made a fight of four
and one-half miles, returning to his
starting point, and has achieved a
large number of shorter flights On
more than one occasion he has car
ried a passenger.
Charles + Walsh made his initial
trial about a year ago, and has been
advancing in aviation ever since. His
aeroplane follows more closely the lines
of the Curtiss machine.
Five or six Los Angeles aeroplanes
will be entered to uphold local honors,
ability to get into the air at the flying
field of the Aero club of California at
the motordrome. None has been so
successful, however, as the San Diego
men, and the latter hope to best Los
Angeles in all the events. The inter-
city competition at the meet will be
keen.
