OFFERS MADE FOR MEET
AERO CLUB TO CONSIDER MAT.
TER IN FEW DAYS.
Wright Company and Glenn Curtiss
Send Proposals for Home-Com-
ing Week Event.

\ meeting of the Aero Club of Wash
ington may be called in the next few
days to consider proposals that have been
made to the club for holding Il local
aviation meet during homecoming week
in Octobr. The Chamber of Commerce is
interested i'm the exhibition in connection
with the general celebration and Isaac
Cans of the chamber has been designated
to keep in touch with the local aero club
Two proposals have been received from
Glenn Curtiss through his manager. the
first offering to furnish one aviator for
a three-day exhibition for $500 OF two
aviators for the same time for 5000.
This is on the basis of Washington,
either through the Aero Club or the
Chamber of Commerce. paying a fiat price
for the exhibition and taking all of the
gate receipts. The other alternative Is
to divided the gate receipts, half and half.
with a guarantee to Curtiss that his half
shall not be less than $1,000
For Guarantee of $4,000.
Another offer was from the Wright
Company and was for a guarantee of
$4,000. OF this $4,000 were to be put up
as prizes and $4,000 spent in advertising.
1t was not stipulated how the remainder
of the money was to be spent, but there
would be certain amount for stands and
the preparation of the grounds and tue
remainder presumably was to be divided
between the Wright Company and the
Aero Club of America.
The letter. which was addressed to
Charles J. Bell, was written on the as
sumption that the club could secure the
use of Potomac Park and charge adj
mission. 1t is pointed out by the officers
of the local area club that this is entirely
out of the question. as it would require
special legislation from Congress. whose
consent probably would not be given.
The letter was turned over to DR..
Zahm the secretary of the club, to be
considered, it at all, along with the other
proposals.
The officers of the club say they are
not inclined to treat any Of the offers
seriously. as aviatOrs at present hold
themselves at high price. The officials
think that before the meet is held here
aviators will command about the same
prices as automobile race drivers.

WANT THEIR MONEY BACK |
AUTOMOBILES SEEK REFUND
OF VIRGINIA FINES.
Held Up Near Rosslyn and Penalized
as Not Registered-Have Ger
tifcates Good Until June Is.

Trouble seems to be looming over the
horizon out Rosslyn way.
Some two score automoblistS arrested
and fined in the Alexandria county juris-
diction yesterday and Tuesday have
united in a common cause. They expect
that Justice of the Peace Thompson Will
be required to refund these penalties.
Sheriff Palmer and five deputies sta
toned themselves Tuesday along the two
square lengths of Rosslyn's only street,
and Justice Thompson set up his court
in the store of the Rosslyn Feed and
Supply Company.
Automobiles. as they drove near, were
held up and separated from 1923 each.
on the allegation that they either were
not registered, as required by the Viz
ginia law. or that they were not able to
produce their certificates of registration
Among others caught were several
chaffeurs of the Auto Livery Company
and OF the Terminal Taxicab Company.
Attorney Samuel V. Hayden, who repre-
sents both companies, started into mo-
ton the legal machinery which, it is
thought. will compel repayment of all
fines collected.
Mr.. Hayden was in communication by
long distance telephone with Secretary
of State James Of Virginia. From him
Mr.. Hayden received today copies OF both
the Old and the new automobile laws of
the Old Dominion.
Under the law of March L. 1905, all
Automobiles operating their cars on Vir-
ginia roads we're required to register.
Once registered always registered" was
the liberal Interpretation put upon this
statute.
A new law was passed by the last leg
islature of Virginia. It specified that ali
old registrations should expire June 15.
1910, and that g. sliding scale of registra-
ton fees should be paid after that date
the cost depending upon the horsepower OF
the auto. All new registrations in 1910
must be under the new law, and they will
not expire as Of June Is.
been fined during the last two days, At
torney Hayden has noted an appeal from
the decisions of Justice Thompson. 1t Is
claimed there is excellent ground for the
action to recover fines, since no time
was allowed the Automobiles who
claimed to have registered to produce
their certificates, and nearly all of them
hold certificates which do not expire un-
til June IL. SO that, until after that date
they cannot be accused of having no IL
censes under the Virginia law.

No reason for the young lady to have
taken her life was suggested. She was
apparently happy when she left the
apartment house about / o'clock to go
home. having made an engagement for
last night with her fiance The latter Is
a musician.
The police say that Mrs. Bailey told
them she had scolded her daughter
Tuesday night for having remained out
later than usual, but that was over and
it was not a serious enough affair to
cause her to consider the question of
self-destruction. 1t was said by neigh
bors that Miss Bailey chatted with them
when she returned home yesterday after
noon and seemed happy.
Coroner Neyitts conclusion was that
she had left the gas turned on for the
purpose of ending her life. The body
was fully dressed only the shoes having
been removed. and the head had not
been beneath the water. An undertaken
prepared the body for burial.
