.BEACHEY AND RADLEY FLY
IN TRYOUTS FOR MEET
Newcomer to the Curtiss Forces
Passes Most of After
noon in the Air

Visitors to the aviation field yester-
day saw three aviators make tryouts of
their machines so as to have them in
readiness for the big meet which opens
tomorrow.
Lincoln Beachey, who recently Joined
the Curtiss forces, made flights all al
ternoon to learn the intricacies Of the
Curtiss machine. Beachey and ROD
inson will take the place of Mars in the
meet.
Radley made a flight in his Bleriot
yesterday, but an accident prevented
him rising from the field until after 6
o'clock. The English aviator borrowed
what he thought was can of gaso-
line. The liquid was poured into the
machine, but proved to be water. Two
hours were lost In getting the engine
in working order again.
Curtiss made a few short flights over
the field in his new fast 1911 model and
ST Perkins took up two of his kites, but
did not attempt any man-liftlng stunts.
w. NJ. Garland, chairman; Fred L.
Baker, Isaac Milbank, j. b. Miller ana
Perry Weidner. of the aviation commit
tee. visited the grounds yesterday ana

.PARMELEE COMES HERE
WITH HIS BABY WRIGHT
Ohio Mans Little Craft, Said to
Be Speed Marvel Is En-
tered in Meet

Bringing a Baby Wright aeroplane
which the Wright brothers designed as
o speed marvel for it's first genuine try
out here, Philip Parmelee, q well
known Wright aviator, arrived IN Los
Angeles direct from the factory III
Dayton, O., yesterday AFTERNOON anu
will be on hand to participate in the
first day Of racing at Aviation park,
when the ten-day meet for the beneht
Of the children's fresh air fund Is IN
augurated tomorrow morning.
But two Baby Wrights have been
manufactured. The first of these was
smashed at Belmont Park in it's initial
tryout, and BroOkins, who operated 1t.
was severely shaken up. The Baby
brought to Los Angeles by Parmelee
is the second craft, hence the machine
will be given its first real test here.
The Baby has about half the plane
surface of the stock Wright the spread
OF its wings being only twenty-five
feet. 1t is equipped with an improved
1911 40-horse power Wright motor.
Just how fast the Baby can travel
we do not know" said Parrnelee last
night, "but we are convinced that 1t
can make great speed and that it will
be a factor in all speed contests Of the
meet"
ParmeIee has made some record
flights himself, the most notable one
being that between Dayton ana COluIl-
bus, O., when he carried the first ship
ment of merchandise ever hauled in
an aeroplane. The distance, siXty-five
miles, was made in flfty-seven minutes
with a 100-pound cargo. This was
made in a stock 1911 Wright model, one
of which Parmelee brought with him.
The latter machine, along with the
Baby, were sent out to Aviation park
last night and will be unpacked and
probably tried out today.
Parmelee joined Roy Knabenshue
and Brookins and Hoxsey of the Wright
camp at the Van Nuys.

LOS ANGELES BELIEVED
TO HAVE WON RATE CASE

1t is believed in San Francisco that
Los Angeles has won its contention In
the san Joaquin valley rate case, which
has been before the state railroad COM
mission, which has been preparing its
decision in that city.
The report is current that Commits
sioners Irwin and Summerland have
filed a majority decision in the case,
but H. D. Loveland, the San Francisco
member, has under preparation a dis
senting opinion. 1t is believed that
both will be made public Saturday.
Loveland's dissension is taken to
mean that the case is favorable to Los
Angeles.
Confidence in the situation is ex-
pressed by F. p. Gregson, traffic man
ager of the Associated Jobbers of Los
Angeles, who has just returned from
San Francisco. The association
brought the case.
The Southern Pacific at first opposed
the reduction asked by Los Angeles,
but finally withdrew opposition when
the commission asked the railroad to
submit tentative schedule of rates.

coin. No one plan has been definitely adopted
but the sentiment is all one way, and it is virtu
ally assured that before another year has passed
there will be under way the work necessary to
commemorate worhy the life and the deeds OF
she Rail Splitter President"
One of the plans is for great highway to be
inov'n as the Lincoln Road, or the Lincoln High
way, to connect the capital with the battlefield of
Gettysburg It is held by many students of Eng
tish that the short address which Abraham Lin
coin delivered the battlefield of Gettysburg is
one of the finest examples Of expression in the
mother tongue known to the world of letters.
Lincoln Is inseparably connected with Gettysburg,
and the fact is due almost wholly to the speech
which he delivered the anniversary OF the bat
tie Il speech which, it Is said, was prepared only
at the last moment before delivery, the only pre-
paration except that OF thought, consisting in
few notes jotted down upon the back Of an old

The senate committee on library, which has in
charge memorial work, reported favorably bill
authorizing the expenditure Of 100000 for the
erection of a memorial arch upon the camping
ground OF the American army at Valley Forge, in
Tho state of Pennsylvania. The library committee
some tine ago, recommended and secured the
passage OF bill appropriating money for the cree
zion in Washington Of n statue to John Barry,
commodore in the United States navy during the
Revolutionary war monument also is TO be
erected TO Christopher Columbus and part of the
cost VIII be paid by the people of the United
States. Statues to Kosciusko and Pulaski have
boen erected within the year. and other statues
and monuments, either have been put in place, or
we'll on the road to completion. 1t is
said that the patriotic societies, by their excellent
educational work throughout the country, have so
aroused the sentiment of the people that the
pressure which has been brought to bear con.
gress properly to recognize the services Of the
dead and gone has been irresistible.
good deal of interest attaches to the pro-
posed memorial arch at Valley Forge. 1t
there that Gen. George Washington and his army
passed the awful winter OF Hts. time of suffer
Ing, starvation and danger from the enemy. AS
has been said bill authorizing the expenditure
OF 100000 has been reported favoraby from the
library committee. There seems to be opposi-
ton I'm congress TO the appropriation, and bill
sanctloning 1t probably will be passed at the next
sossIon.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard. who Is sup
posed to be something Of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently called
upon IN ono CT her marvellous crea-
lions to enact the role Of sculptor.
and to model a certain bust in view OF
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics. but when going into rhap-

exhibited they showed that they knew
little Of the artistic tricks of actors

does nothing Of the kind The bust
Is modelled and baked, and over It Is
placed damp clay of the same color.
