For the benefit of those interested
in aviation it may be stated that Rob
ert G. Fowler of Los Angeles, whose
name appears daily in the cable re.
ports, is attempting to fly from San
Francisco to New York for the $4,000
prize offered by William Rudolph
Hearst.
The conditions of the flight were as
follows:
The flight, approximately 5000 miles,
must be made in 100 continuous hours,
or thirty days.
The aeroplane may be repaired as
often as the contestant elects; any
broken damaged or defective part or
parts of the aeroplane or motor may
be repaired or replaced at the option

JOHNSON, JEANETTE AND LANGFORO

ly discovered that a good left hand
when used in the right way will offset
a world of cleverness, when used by
the taller man, regardless of weight.
THE old adage that good little
man rarely beats a good big man is
just as true today as it ever was and
1 believe that the fight between Jack
Johnson and Sam Langfold, if it ever
comes off, will end in victory for
the good big man, provided both men
are in good condition physically.
"Sam Langford is without doubt one
of the greatest fighters for his size and
weight that we have ever had. Still
height and reach will offset cleverness
and that is where Johnson stands TO
win and l look to see him beat Lang
ford as easily as he did Tommy Burns.

THE EFFORT TO FLY 5000 MILES

Of the contestant at any stage Of the
flight as the judgment of the contest
ant may dictate.
To all intents and purposes the con
testant may rebuild the aeroplane on
the way by substituting for damaged
or broken parts good parts Of other
machines but the prizewinner
must use the same machine through
out.
The rules of the contest, which clos
ed on October 10, called for any type
of self-propelled aeroplane or heavier
flying machine capable Of car
rying the contestant.
ANY person, regardless of sex, nX-
tionality, race or residence was eli
gible to compete

Tennis CHAMPIONSHIP OF Hawaii

For the singles championship it
looks like a contest in the finals be-
tween Dr. Fred Irwin and Eugene
Horner, provided they are not drawn
against each other in the earlier
rounds. Stephen Desha is playing
a strong game and may interfere with
the chances of these two, while G. H..
Wears, if in good practise, will make
any of these three work hard to take
away a match. Fred Henderson, of
Hakalau, who gave George Willfong,
the present champion, the hardest
match which he had last year, should
also be figured on for honors in the
finals. At the present time, however,
it looks a good deal like Horner for
the last man in.
The Hilo ladies have not been COM
ing out as much as usual of late. Mrs
Patten is the strongest player in sight
Miss Amy Williams has been playing
a good deal and her game has improv
ed wonderfully. Mrs. Sexton has not
been seen on the local courts for some
time and Mrs. Castendyk and Mrs Ell
lott, the latter being one Of the strong
est players on the island, are not
much in evidence. The next two weeks
however, should make a considerable
difference in the play and new teams
may be developed with this practise

The two-mile race for local men will
be a good one and as a number of

About ~
That "a
Dandruff! -

There is just this much about Il:
Dandruff is a germ disease, is
most untidy, annoying, and leads
to badness. When chronic, it
is very stubborn, but surely
yields to thorough and energetic
treatment. All germs must be
destroyed, the scalp must be
restored to health. Here is the
remedy: Ayers Hair VigOr.
Ask your doctor about using it.

PRICELESS FEDERAL
DOCUMENTS KEPT
IN WOODEN CASES
State Department Expected
to Ask Congress for
Appropriation.

Pointing out that the havoc wrought
4 by the fire in the New York capitol at
Albany was of only Statewide import
ance while a similar catastrophe In the
State, War, and Navy Building mere
would be of national and international
Importance, the officials who are en-
trusted with the care of the priceless
documents of this country are taxing
steps which they hope will result In
Congressional appropriation for the pur-
chase of steel cases. They will make
theIr appeal through Secretary OF STATE
Knox.
At present all Of the original copies
of the United States laws from the time
Of George Washington down to the pres
ent day are kept in wooden cases In
rooms S05 and S07 Of the State, War and
Navy building. The wooden cases
which contain these records of so price
less a value that all the money In the
world could not replace them line the
four sides OF the room and extend from
ceiling to the floor.
Emancipation Proclamation.
Besides containing all the original
copies Of the laws, bearing the sigma
lures of the President, the Vice Presi-
dent and the Speaker of the House.
these combustible receptacles contain
the original journal and all the original
papers relating to the Constitution
They contain the original treaties proc
iamations, executive orders and other
original papers of international import
ance. for instance Lincoln's emancipa-
ton proclamation, written in longhand
and bearing the martyred Presidents s
signature.
As matter of fact about the only
combustible material in the rooms
where these documents are stored are
the records which no amount OF money
can replace The State. War. and
Navy building is a fireproof struc-
ture, so that the wooden cases and
the parchment which bear the Original
statutes proclamations,. etc, are the
only infiammable material.
THE wooden cases were installed
shortly after the big building had
been constructed. and although re
peated attempts to secure steel cases
impossible to secure an appropriation
for them. It is claimed that fire.
proof steel vaults are not necessary
II freproof cases can be secured.
Albany Fire Warning.
Under the present arrangement the
original bills. Executive orders, and
other official documents are sent over
from the White House and placed in
an unpretentious wooden case in room
3O5. The case is divided into pigeon
holes. but even these divisional walls
are OF wood. Finally the documents
are bound with leather into volumes
and stored in the wooden cases.
Since the Albany fire the need of thu
protection is being emphasized bv the
men who have the handling of the
documents. 1t is expected that they
will take the matter up with the Sec.
retary of State and he in turn viii
Gndeavor to secure a Congressional
appropriation. Many of the people who
are unfamiliar with the present ia
rilities for preserving the records
have not realized what a danger there
really is.

COMMITS SUICIDE
WITH GAS IN FEED
AND GRAIN OFFICE
Told Son He Would Stay
There All Night-Discon-
nected Chandelier.

ct think I'll sleep here tonight" said
William L. Wellborn, feed and grain
dealer, when his son called at his office
at dinner time last evening, and as the
son left the building the father turned
on the gas which flowed all night and
with which he ended his life. Ill
health had driven him to despair.
The body was found this morning by
Police Sergeant Sanford, who passed
Wellborn's office, at 4SS o street north
west, about o'clock. Gas was flowing
from a half-inch pipe in the ceiling,
where he had disconnected the chande-
lier.
Made Out Monthly Bills.
Yesterday ,WeIlborn went about his
duties just as though he intended to
live. He made out his monthly bills,
and last night when his son, Sidney,
called for him, he was just completing
the lot. II have a little more work to
do" he said, pleading an excuse not to
go home.
When Sergeant Sanford came this
morning he saw Wellborn lying on the
floor, fully dressed, with his arms fold
ed across his chest. Sanford procured
and ak and broke open the door. I'm
able to shut off the flow of gas, San
ford carried Wellborn to the street. A
physician who was summoned said the
man had been dead several hours.
Lived Here Ten Years.
Wellborn, who was forty-five years
old, was a native of Atlanta, Ga, but
had been living in Washington for the
last ten years. For a number of years
he was in business with Thomas Mich
ael at North Capitol and G streets, and
later was associated in the feed bust
ness with Layton McGhie at s35 Fifth
street northwest. He had been in bust
ness for himself at 4SS o street since
January ]. 1911.
Yesterday WellbOrn called to see his
former partner, McGhie, and told HIN
his health had been such during the
last few months that he was unable Il
properly look after his business. Ht
seemed discouraged and talked as If ht
never expected TO be we'll again.
Wellborn is survived by his wife Mrs
Julia Wellboln, a clerk in the Geological
Survey; son, Sidney, and two daugh
ters. The family live at 14S7 Monroe
street northwest.
