CLOUDBURST CAUSES WRECK
Rock Island Passenger Train Runs
Into Raging Torrent.

Clayton, Kas.-Twelve or thirteen
passengers lost their lives and eleven
others suffered injuries in the wreck,
two miles west of this town, on the
w~estbound Rock island passenger

The wreck was the result of a cloud
burst which carried out a steel bridge

and washing out nearly 1000 feet OF
track.
The train, running at full speed,
plunged into the gap, and the engine
and mail car went down into % feet
of water and the chair car almost tele-

Atlanta, Ga.-Seaborn Wright, who
was reported in dispatches from Ev-
ansyille, Ind, as Offering $50 for every
glass Of blind tiger whisky Or beer
which DR.. W. T. Helt could purchase
in Atlanta, corrected this report Fri

loon counters. Mr.. Wright said:
"While perhaps a higher grade of
beer than was authorized by the laws
of Georgia is being sold in the near

that other liquors were dispensed over
the counters is false

PROF. LOWE EXPLAINS
HIS BALLOON PLANS
Pioneer Aeronaut Expects to Carry
Passengers Across Valley in
a DirigibIe-Will
Cost $4,000
Especial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA, Jan. 20.-One last de-
narting look was taken at aviation,
first hand, this evening when Prof. L,
C. s. Lowe, after whom Mount Lowe is
named and who built the Mount Lowe
railway, made formal announcement
in his own opera house of his dirlglpIe
balloon plans. Prof. Lowe made Whal
many believe to be the longest flight
ever made in a balloon. That was dur
ing the Civil War, when he was with
the Union army. For this reason his
talk was both interesting and had i'm
portant scientific bearing.
A speciaI car brought out many from
Los Angeles and a large number ol
local people also attended. Courtlandl
Bishop was among the guests and
speakers of the evening, while Prof
George Wharton James also spoke and
also showed lantern Slides
Interest really centered about the new
balloon for which Prof Lowe has al
ready drawn plans and for which he Is
even now having a specially treated
silk made. Prof Lowe claims to have
invented weather proofing process foi
balloon silk which will enable the pal
loonist to keep his balloon inflated for
weeks or even months at time. He
claims that this material will hold IN
gas for an indefinite period and that
with it he can go up and down in a
great dirigible balloon with a small
launch for passengers attached in place
of the big carrier compartments of the
German machine.
Prof. Lowe plans to build this bal
loon in Pasadena and make a trial
flight first across this valley. The com
plete apparatus he estimates will cost
$4,000, and he proposes to have il
shaped like the ordinary balloon and
propelled by propellers both fore and
aft of the shiplike passenger section
He estimates the lifting power of his
balloon at twenty tons.

HERALD FIRST TO
BOOST AVIATION
IN DEC, 1908, MOVEMENT FOR
CONTESTS WAS BEGUN
DICK FERRIS IDEA PUBLISHED
MANY MONTHS AGO
Franklin X. Lanes Boast of Southern
California as Good Location
Also Is Recalled
to Mind

Los Angeles Herald possesses the
distinction of being the first newspa-
per in Los Angeles to urge an inter-
national aeroplane meet When Dick
Ferris first advanced the suggestion
in December, 1908, he made 1t to the
aeronautical editor of The Herald and
Roy Knabenshue, and since that time
The Herald has boosted" the Ferris
idea.
After the Rheims meet and its sue
cess Franklin k. Lane, interstate
commerce commissioner, wrote to the
editor of The &IIerald suggesting that
Southern California is the ideal place
for great aeroplane contests. This
tribute to Los Angeles, which has been
so materially reinforced in the last two
weeks was the first from an outside
source fayoring an aviation week in
Los Angeles.
In this connection the following
prophecy, made to The Herald by Dick
Ferris on the night of his return from
Minneapolis, published in The Herald,
September p is of interest.
"Mr. Ferris had been dreaming about
aeroplaning in Los Angeles this winter
for some time, and already had put a
winter trip to Los Angeles before Cur
tiss through Roy Knabenshue before
Curtiss left New York for the contests
in France.
"It would be the finest advertising
in the world to have that contest here
and to bring it in midwinter,' said Mr..
Ferris, after he had brushed off the
dust of travel last night. 1T would
bring more people and more money
here than even Elks' week did. Peo
pie are wild all over the country about
aeronautics, and they would come from
everywhere to see flying and spend the
winter here
"Mr. Ferris was so enthusiastic over
winter aeronautics in Los Angeles that
he had a conference with Roy Knab-
enshue in July, and the latter talked
with a number of eastern aeronauts
and aviators about spending the win
ter in Los Angeles. Several, among
them being Glenn H. Curtiss, who won
the Gordon Bennett cup at Rheims,
expressed great interest in the propo-
sition, and Mr.. Ferris has agreed to
send them further details now that he
is home again"
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-21

an aviation meet would be held in
Fresno next week, commencing Thurs
day, January 27, and lasting through
Sunday, January 80.
The report of the Frank H. john
son Mercantile company promised that
he would have Willard with his Cur
tiss aeroplane and Knabenshue and
Beachey in the two dirigibles here for
the meet and that Fresno could rely
on seeing remarkable flights.
He stated that viii rd was anxious
to establish records and, with this in
view, the chamber of commerce has
offered a reward of $4,000 to the aviator
that breaks the height record and of
$4,000 to the aviator that breaks the
speed record This is expected to
bring other aviators to this meet to
compete for this prize.
The Frank H. Johnson representa-
tive states that, if the climatic condi-
tions during the meet were the same
as today, he felt confident Willard
would succeed in breaking the record,

FINANCIAL SIDE
OF MEET SUCCESS
CONTRIBUTORS TO RECEIVE
THE PROFIT
William M. Garland in Statement Re-
views Results of First AVias
tion Meet Held in
America

"Those persons who came forward in
our hours of need with subscriptions
amounting to more than $4,000 in sup
port of the Aviation week program we
can pay back dollor for dollar together
with an interest of 25 per cent on their
money" said William NJ. Garland, one
of the members of the Aviation COM
mittee in a discussion yesterday on
the success of the great meet. Il feel
confident continued Mr. Garland,
that Aviation week has done more for
Los Angeles in spreading her name
over the globe than anything we could
possibly have done. Too much credit
for it's success cannot be given to H. E.
huntington, who, with the public
spirit that has always characterized
the man, threw $4,000 into the breach
dence in our project, nor can too much
credit be given to others who helped,
although in smaller amounts
II believe" continued Mr.. Garland,
that out of this great event that has
! just closed will spring an international
and annual aviation program that
every year will send the name of Los
! Angeles resounding over the globe as
the aviation center of the world. Our
climate and our public spiritedness to-
gether with the way the city has re-
sponded to it makes this more than
possible"
"I admit" said Mr.. Garland, that
as a committee we have made some
mistakes, but we are the wiser for
them and will profit in future event
/ by our mistakes In the past. In the
| first place, we were too small in num-
| ber and were overburdened with work.
The committee instead of comprising
merely seven men should have had a
membership of fully twice that number,
divided into separate committees de-
tailed to separate work. This would
have equalized things for US to a de-
gree, whereas we could have done fuller
justice to the things we did do. An
other thing we were not entirely ia
miliar with was the amusement game,
and in this respect we were at decid-
ed disadvantage"
According to report turned in last
night to Treasurer Perry w. Weidner
by the auditing committee, composed
of John s. Mitchell and John Lucken-
bach, the total amount of money re-
ceived from ticket sales amounted to
| $137, 5000; general admissions amount
ed to 1886; grand stand seat sales
totaled 1912; auto park receipts, $685.
