national Contest

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-Two promi-
nent American aviators, j. Armstrong
Drexel and Henry Weymann, both of
whom are now in Europe, have Civ
en- notice to the committee in charge
of the international flying meet that
they will be on hand to compete in
practically all the programmed events.
The meet is to be held at Belmont
park next month
Weymann, during the last year, has
been making excellent records in var
ious parts of Europe. His most no
table feat so far was his attempt yes
terday to win the $4,000 Michelin prize,
offered for a flight from Paris to Pur-
de-Dome, a distance of 260 miles in
six hours. He failed by a narrow
margin on account of fog and bad
weather.
Weymann expects to come to Ameri-
ca some time during the present
month and will be at Belmont park
with his machine some time before
the opening of the meeting.
Drexel, who was a star performer at
the Lanark meeting, in Scotland, and
who until recently held the world s
altitude record, will also come to this
country some time during the present

other new entrants to the meet are
Wilfred A. Dunn of London, who will
use a Tellar monoplane; Adolph War
chalowski, an Austrian; who recently
made flight over the imperial castle
of Luxemburg, Karl Illner a pupil of
Henri Farman, and Alec Ogilvie, Sc
lected as the third British represen-
tative in England's team, with James
Radley and Claude GrahamWhite.
John B. Moissant, the former Chi
cagoan, who this week completed his
fight from Paris to London, will be a
competitor for the international prizes
if he is able to get suitable aero
plane in time. He expects to secure
a 1O0-horse power Bleriot, in which
lie Blanc recently made So miles an
hour.
In an interview cabled to this side
Moissant explains that he does not
want to fly in his own country until
he is certain he can make a good
showing. The aeroplane on which he
made his Paris-London fight is pret-
ty badly damaged, and 1t will take
some time to repair it, besides which
he does not think it powerful enough.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. S.-Represen-
tative Edwin DENLY of Michigan, one
of the, Republican members of the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigating COM
mittee, arrived today and will attend
the executive session to be held to-
morrow. Mr.. DENLY has been de-
tanned by the Michigan primaries.
Representative Marlin o. Olmstead,
another Republican member, is ex-
pected tomorrow.
The presence of Messrs. DENLY and
Olmstead at the committee meeting
viii give the Republicans five votes
on any action that may be taken.
There are four Democratic members
here and an insurgent Republican, Mr..
Madison, of Kansas. The Democrats
are relying on his support on ques-
tions at issue.
Senator Root of New York has not
advised the committee, so far as
known, as to whether he will attend.
In any event he could not reach Min
neapolis in time for the meeting to-
morrow. Without the aid of Mr.. Root
it is probable that tie vote would be
recorded on certain matters to be
acted upon, providing Representative
Madison assisted the Democrats.
KEEP PLANS SECRET
What action would be taken respect
ing the resolution adopted yesterday
by the four Democratic members and
one insurgent Republican was not
known. Mr.. Madison has stated that
the action could be reversed by ma
jority if it saw fit to do so.
Any plans the Republicans may have
were not divulged.
Mr.. DENLY spent some time today in
conference with Representative Nc
Call and Senator Sutherland.
The findings of the Democrats, which
will make about 21 900 words, were put
into shape for possible presentation to-
morrow. Their report is the joint work
of James. Graham, Fletcher and Pur-
cell and the feature will be the section
devoted to the vindication of Mr.. Pin
chot. Other matters to be exhaustively
treated will be the Cunningham claims
and Alaskan coal lands and Mr.. Bal
linger's connection therewith; the
granting of water power sites and the
secretary's administration of the re-
clamation service, among other things.
Representative Madison devoted a
part of the day to final preparation of
an independent report which he viii

about 10000 words Tt is known to
contain an elaborate defense of the
former chief of the forestry depart
ment, Mr.. Pinchot.
The findings of the Republicans un-
doubtedly will be lengthy. Their ma
ture was not divulged by any of the
members.

COURT RULES 1-16 NEGRO
BLOOD MAKES CHILD BLACK

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Just what
constitutes a negro in the United
States may be a question which the
United States supreme court will be
asked to settle in the near future.
One-sixteenth negro blood in an in
diyidual classifes him as a negro in
the District of Columbia, according to
a decision by Justice Daniel T. Wright
Of the district supreme court in the
case of Isabel l. Wall. an S-year-old
child, who recently was barred from

cipal had information that she was of
negro parentage.

force the board of education to REIN
state the child but failed, Justice
Wright deciding she was a negro.
The case was appealed to the district
court of appeals. If the appellate
court affirms Justice Wright's decision
an effort viii be Immediately made to
have the United States supreme court
pass on the question.

lowing.
Aviator Harrison of the Aero Club
of California, is negotiating with
White, who will take part in the COM
ing aviation meet to be held in San
