AVIATION Meeting
PLANS ABANDONED
Committee of Bankers and Pros
mOters Will Be Dissolved
After Paying Expenses

The attempt to bring the world S
birdmen to San Francisco has been
abandoned for the time being by the
committee Of bankers and promoters
who. since September, have been per-
fecting arrangements to that end.
Within the last two days the wires
between this city and New York have
been burning with lengthy messages
with the result that halt has been
called. After paying a few bills today
the executive managers will disorgan-
ize and the committee will go out of
existence.
During the negotiations for the meet
here arrangements were begun to bring
the Wrights. Bleriot, Curtiss and other
flyers to this city. Had the plans sue
ceeded the coast would have witnessed
the first great midwinter aviation meet
ever held in this state. There is some
talk of bringing the birdmen here in
spite of the collapse OF present plans.
In such an event other businessmen
would interest themselves in the affair.
and assume the responsibility of com
pensating the participants.

mittee at the Palace hotel closed yes-
terday When the committee meets
today motion will be put to paw all
outstanding bills, which amount to but
$50, and then a resolution dissolyine

DANGERS TO stage
THE DEATH OF EVE
Margaret Barry and George
Walcker Cast for Principal
Roles in Play

The Death of Eve" William Vaughn
Moody's conception of Ewes return with
Cain to the Garden OF Eden and her
death at the foot of the tree of knowl-
edge, will be enacted at the California
club this evening and Tuesday after
noon, with Nine. Margaret Barry in the
title role and George Walcker as the
banished son, whom she goes into the
desert to seek.
The affair will be given on an elab-
crate scale, the jewels which Nine.
Barry will wear being 1000 years old.
These are at present on exhibition at
Shenasi's in Post street. They will be
worn with a greenish blue diaphanous
drapery shot with gold and with it
will be carried a flame colored chiffon
scarf.
DANCERS SONGS UNUSUAL
Nine Barry's art is that of the SYM
bolic dancer, and her poetic readings
add touch that the emotional dancers
fail to give. She will be heard to great
advantage in her song of praise and of
pleading her lament and her song OF
death.
Walcker, as Cain, is also well fitted
to the role. He will be garbed in the
browns of the desert, a deep scarlet
drape giving the one needed CLEAN of
color. His songs of rage and grief
and praise are strong and unusually
different from anything we have heard
in this city in a long time.
This practically will be the final
public appearance OF the two dancers
prior to their departure for Europe.
CLUBwOaIEN ARRANGE PARTIES
Tickets are on sale at the California
club in Clay street at 81 a seat, and
the proceeds of the two performances
will swell the building fund of the
California club hall.
A number of large parties have been
planned for the affair. Mrs. Lowell
White will entertain a party of so
friends, Mrs. Reuben Wood Mastick
will have 90 guests, Nine Barry will
entertain the Duncan troupe as her
guests. and Miss Mary Gordon, Mrs.
]. d. McMasters and Mrs. James Craw-
ford Will also be hostesses for the
occasion.
Among those on the committee Of
arrangements are: Mrs. Lowell White,
Mrs. f. M. Sponogle. Miss Margaret
Curry, Miss Mary Fafrbrother, Mrs.
Henry Dickhoff, Miss Josephine Crow
ley, Miss Mary Gorham. Mrs. James

terials. Aubury said that government

California material on buildings when
the same material could be secured
elsewhere.
Henry A. Schultz. an architect, said

Judge Seawell Enjoys Well Earned
Confidence of Bench, Bar and Public

The members OF the
San Francisco bar are
working virtually as one
man for the reelection
of Judge James M. Sea-
well, who for 30 years
has occupied a command
ing place in the very
front rank of California's
jurists.
Probably no man on
the bench in California
enjoys in a larger de-
gree the respect, conf
dence and affection of the
members OF the legal
profession than Judge
Seawell. His profound
legal learning has i'm
pressed itself not alone
on the bench and bar of
California, but upon the
bench and bar OF other
states. His integrity has
never been questioned
and his fostering regard
for the ideals and ethics
of his profession are the
boasted pride OF the law
yers OF California.
For eighteen years
Judge Seawe1l has given
San Francisco and the
state extraordinary serv-
ice upon the superior
bench. He was first
elected in 1892 and in
1898 and 1904 he was

have been respected as

The undersigned campaign committee of the

Classic Outlines.

Chicago may have the greatest
catcher In John King; st. Louis may
have another in Roger Bresnahan, but
Cleveland has the honor OF possessing
the most perfect physical catcher In
the major leagues today. Harry Be-
mis-. the stocky veteran, is the indi.
vidual Of whom local baseballists can
boast.
Bemis Is the most perfect physical
specimen that DIR. II. NJ. Castle, Nap
club physician, in his years OF service,
has even examined. Broad shoulder
ed, tapering waist narrow hips and
legs to set of the rest OF his person.
These are the constitutional attributes
OF Bemis. His body is symmetry per-

Injuries are the only causes that
ever kept Bemis out OF a game. Dur.
ing the playing seasons he has been

In addition to his perfect physique,
