WILL SUE NORTH CAROLINA.
State of Rhode Island to Ask for Pay
ment of Coupons on Bonds.

Providence, r. l., Jan. 12.-PrO-
posing that the State of Rhode Island
should take legal action to recover
from the State of North COrOlina
payment of coupons on bonds issued
by the latter State in 1869. the
bOndhOlders' committee of North
Carolina today sent to Gov. Aram j..
POthier these bonds, amounting to
$511, 900. The original issue amount
cd to$13, 600, 900 distributed among
individuals in various parts of the
country. 1t is understood that the
State paid the coupons for only three
years.
A few years ago the State of North
Dakota secured Judgment against
the State OF North Carolina for the
amount due individuals in North Da-
kota, but the decision in the case was
not broad enough to cover bond
holders in other States. As an indi-
vidual cannot bring suit against a
State, the bOndhOlders now desire
the State of Rhode Island to take
the matter up and endeavOr to have
final payment made in all cases
Governor Pothier referred the prop
Osition to the General Assembly.
New York, Jan. 12-The bonds
upon which Rhode Island will demand
payment OF North Carolina, though
held by individuals. have been given
outright to Rhode Island for the pur-
pose of collecting and if anything is
realized on them the proceeds will be
used for public improvements.
New York City is the headquarters
of the North Caralina Bondholders"
and through Edward l.. Andres, their
secretary, they made public tonight
a letter written to Governor Pothipr
saying among other things: "While
the holders of these bonds have no
intention of restricting in the slight
est manner the use to which they
should be applied, they would be
gratified if their proceeds were util-
lied for the public and enduring Oh

waterway development, conducted
on a grand national scale, will trp-

Louis Paulhan, French Aviator, Takes
Thrilling AeropIane Flight at 10:
Angeles-Reaches Height of Over
1000 Feet, Breaking all Previou:
Records.
Aviation Camp, Los Angeles, Cal
Jan. 12.-Louis Paulham, French
aviator, broke all official and un'
official records for altitude in q Far
nam bi-plane today by flying to a
height OF more than 1000 feet and
descending safely after 30 minutes
and 4G 10 seconds in the air.
The exact height reached il not
known. but it is certain that he ex-
ceeded the record of 5000 feet. The
instrument on Paulhan's machine
registered the greatest height ut
1900 feet.
The Judges record OF Paulhan's al
titude which is vet to be sanctioned
officially, was /, $40 metres, apprOXl-
mately 5, 900 feet. The time OF the de-
scent was seven minutes and thirty
seconds.
Paulhan is the idol OF the crowd
tonight. lie made his record shortly
after losing the speed record Of the
course to Glenn II. Curtiss.
The Frenchman, using an engine
that had Just arrived from Paris,
had been on the course all afternoon.
He had circIed the course again and
again, skidding and dipping and
swinging corners in q daring fashion
that made his wife shiver with fright.
The sun was low toward the sea
and the shadows had begun to gather
when Paulhan decided to go higher
in the air than any manin heavier
than, air machine ever had flown.
The wind barely stirred. Paulhan
made u short circle over the 10000
spectators. Curtiss had previously
tried the higher currents and come
down.
Paulhan pointed north, went up
1000 feet, passed over the centre OF
the field again, then turned north
and up again.
The crowd grew breathlessly intent
as the Fremchman and his air machine
rapidly became q speck i'll the gath
ering twilight.
At height of / 300 feet Paulhan
described a great circle to feel the
currents. When word spread that
he had beat Herbert Latham record
of !, ,SOOfeet, the vast throng became
frantic.
After the aviator was as near out
of sight as he could go without dis
appearing, Paulhan began to de-
scend. He came down easily in front
OF the grand stand after having
risen to the plain Of the mountain
peaks.
The third day of the international
aviation meet was perfect. The spec
tatOrs numbered $4,000.

structor of the south.
Mr.. Corsan comes to Birmingham to-
morrow for one week. giving the morning
hours to boys who are not members, the

Non-members only will be required to
make appointments. Members will come

to have all meet the instructor three
times.
While the boys are in the pool it will
be only about~half full three and one
half feet of water). Water wings will be
furnished by the association and grad

fort on the part of the swimmer.
A good corps of assistants will be used
during the hours the boys are in the pool,
and as the water will be shallow it will
be impossible to have an accident.
Parents of boys planning to spend the
summer at seashores should be glad of
this opportunity open to their boys for
free swimming lessons.

time, as the instructor places himself IN

necessity arises, thus enabling those who
are quicker to grasp the method ito en-
courage others who are not so quick of
comprehension
Mr.. Corsan holds that the present meth
cd which has been taught for years in
the various gymnasiums Is absolutely
wrong, as the beginner is instructed in
the breast stroke. The breast stroke, In
| his opinion, is, or should be. obsolete as
| 1t is the very worst stroke that can be
used, because the body of the swimmer
must be propelled through the water in
such position that 1t meets the great
est resistance; and the art of swimming
has for this very reason lost that grace
which should be its greatest attraction.
The following swimming exhibitions
will be presented
