Commercial Side of Aviation May be-
Taken up by Training School
and Agency for the
curtiss Machines.
UNIVERSITY OF FLYING
Stock of Aeroplanes to be Put in3
and Buyers Taught to Ride
Them, Just Like Auto
Business.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 31.--Because OF the
central location of St. Louis and the
interest in aviation and aeronautics
which the Aero club of st. Louis
has developed here, this city may be-
come commercial center for the
aeroplane business within a short
time.
The Curtiss Company which makes
aeroplanes on the models OF Glenn n.
Curtiss, has in view the establishment
here Of a demonstration branch and
training school for aviators. 1'his
would require an aviation field
equipped with all facilities for storing
and flying machines on practically the
same scale as The sport is conducted
at the big aviation meets except that
a provision for handling large crowds
Of spectators is not an essential at
a private training ground.
| To look over tthe ground and pick
out feasible sites for an aviation
field, Jerome S. Fanciulli manager OF
the aeroplane department of the
Curtiss company, who represented the
Aero club of Washington and the
Aero club Of Baltimore at the con-
vention held here Saturday, has re-
mained in st. Louis for few days.
/ One of the places which he will in
spect is the tract on the river front
near the Chain Of Rocks, picked out
| by A. B. Lambert and the Aero club
sfeelnmittue as the best field IN or
around st. Louis for holding the In
/ ternational aviation meet this year
/ provided st. Louis can land this big
1 sky show. If the Curtiss company To-
Gates here, it will mean the presence
| here of Glenn H Cursiss part of his
time, and the conducting of constant
experiments with new machines on
the field.
Mr. Fanciulli has been offered in
/ ducements in Salt Lake City, Los
Angeles and other cities to establish
the Curtiss training field there, but he
was inclined to the belief that st.
Louis, on account of its location.
would be better adapted to the pui-
pose The object is to provide a
place where purchasers of Curtiss
| aeroplanes can be taught TO operate
them To make these grounds safe
large area is required. and it Is
thought that, while this city would be
the nominal headquarters, the ground
would be outside the city limits.
Local aeronauts believe the estab-
lishment of such grounds here would
lend great impetus to aerial en-
deavor locally and promote the best
interests Of the city at large. for it
would mean that a large majority OF
the buyers of Curtiss machines would
be taught to operate their planes
here. II is also understood an agency
for Missouri and all territory within
radius of $50 miles of st. Louis may
| be established, which would introduce
the commercial side of the aeroplane
here.

Violated the Sunday Law and Were
Sentenced by the Mayor to
Attend the Services on
Sunday.
IT WAS A GREAT SCHEME
The Law Breakers Sat Quietly In the
Pew and Listened to the Sermon
Instead Of Opening
Their Bars.

INDIANAPOLIS Jan. 31.-The sa-
loonkeepers who We're sentenced by
Mayor Shank on Thursday to attend
church Sunday because they had vio-
lated the law last Sunday by keeping
their saloons open paid the Ell penal
ties of tneir wrong, aud today they
may reopen their bars ard do busi-
ness at the old stands.
Marion Cummins, however, must
first bring letter to the mayor and
it must be written by the minister
whose sermon he heard. and 1t must
state that the guilty saloon-keeper was
at the service. This the saloon man
will be prepared to do, as he made ar
rangements with minister in order.
that he might be identified in the con-
gregation, and thus run no risk of not
getting the letter.
Jerry Stenfel, Joseph Klemene and
Joseph Kreber, who were placed in
charge of Rev. John Smolley of Holy
Trinity church, learned when Sunday
comes and that the day is Cay of
rest. The minister exploined to ther1
very carefully that they must obey
the mayor and that their saloons unlst
not be opened until Monday morning
and that it would be we'll for them TO
keep themselves in touch with some
one who could testify to their good be-
hayior. The three men readily sub.
mitted themselves to the minister's
guidance, and Sunday they were seat
ed in the church when the services
began and remained till they were
concluded. To make sure that they
would avoid even the appearance Of
evil they remained away from the
proximity of their saloons and spent
the afternoon at the home of a church
member designated by the minister.
Marion Cummins, who admitted to
the mayor that ne had not attended
church since he entered the saloon
business, created sensation when he
/ entered the Columbia Avenue Metho.
dist church with his wife by his side.
Mrs. Cummins is a regular attendant,
but the audience smiled as her hus-
band appeared with her.
The pastor, Rev. James Hixon, rails
ed his eyes and then dropped his gaze
| from the chair. He knew Cummins
was coming, and Cummins called at
his house and received the coveted
letter to the mayor. The service was
short. the minister delivering a short
sermon from the text, go and sin no
more" 1t had been selected earlier
in the week, and the minister did not
see any reason to change his text be-
cause the saloon man was present nm
der such peculiar circumstances.

Two Hundred Bodies Which Are Float.
ing in the Water viii be Brought
to the Surface During
the Week.
HEARTsTRINGs ARE TAUT
Plan to Destroy the Bodies Before
Bringing Them up Did Not
Meet With Favor by
the Afflicted.

CHERRY, ILL.,, Jan. S1.--r,,early ev-
cry woman in Cherry is drawing her
heartstrings tight to undergo the or
deal OF eXhumation of bodies that is
expected this week, following the
promised unsealing, today or Tues
day of the St Paul mine. More than
200 coal miners have lain entombed
there since Nov. 13, when FIRE caused
the death of some $50 men.
With snowstorm beating over the
prairie and the helmet men not yet
arrived from the University of Hi.
nois. the prospects are that the lid,
which has kept the mine tightly
closed for two months, will not be
pried of the shaft mouth before
Tuesday. AS 1t is not certain that
the fire in the mine is extinguished.
nothing definite toward the recovery
of the bodies will be planned until ex-
perts proteRted with oxygen helmets
have explored the shaft.
If conditions prove propitious, the
fan will be started to suck in fresh
air. Any smoldering fire will have 10
be extinguished and 100000 gallons
of water pumped from the third level.
1t is thought the. about forty
bodies are floating on this water ip
the bottom of the mine. Upwars Of
200 other corpses are said to be bud
died in the second level
The condition of the bodies is sAus-
ing as much concern as are tire en-
gineering problems attendant on the
uncapping of the mine and the clean
ing of the debris from the subterran-
can passages. 1t has been suggested
that much of the grewsomeness of the
situation could be avoided by Destroy
ing the bodies in the mine galleries
with chemicals.
This proposal, unofficially made, has
met with bitter opposition from the
widows. mothers and children of the
dead miners. They insist that they
be allowed to look once more on the
form of beloved relative, to give that
body christian burial and to recover
some personal token of the decedent.
such as a watch or ring, IL possible.
With grief so long drawn out, the
women of Cherry are stoically await
ing the last ordeal. Tentative ar
rangements are already in progress
for funerals and burials. Men have
been engaged to dig a row OF graves
nearly a quarter of a mile long.
w. w. Taylor, manager Of the ST.
Paul Mine Company, does not offer
much hope that the mine will be en-
ptied of It's dead before the end of the
week, as much preliminary work must
be performed. 1t is even possible that
the fire might break out afresh and
force the resealing of the mine for
another long period. Tests made last
week for fire and gases. however, in

mine could go forward
