lCuRTISS HUNTS
WITH EN0S FOR
FACTORY SITE
Noted Aviator and President of
Board of Trade Tour the
City Today

Under the pilotage of President
F'red Enos of the Bridgeport Board
lof Trade, Glenn II. Curtiss made an
lextensive tour of Bridgeport today,
hunting fer a good site for his aero
plane factory, which he is planning
ito move from Hammonsport, n. Y,
in the near future.
Mr. Enos has high hopes that
bridgeport will be selected by Mr.
lCurtieS as the ideal city in which to
s1ocate his factory.
In an automobile the party toured
the outskirts of the city. and a num-
ber of desirable factory lots with rail-
road connection were pointed out by
Mr.. Eros Mr. Curtiss gave his ap-
proval to several of these, but was
1on-committaI as to moving here
From remarks dropped by him in
the course of his stay in this city,
however, it appears that he has been
very favorably impressed by Bridge
ports many advantages as a manu-
Featuring city and his coming here
lis considered pretty certain.
Mr.. Enos is enthusiastic over the
prospect of adding the aeroplane in
.dustry to Bridgeport's varied list. He
has been in correspondence with Mr..
.Curtiss upon this subject for many
months and the tour of inspection
today is the elimination of his work
in endeavoring to get Mr.. Curtiss to
locate in Bridgeport.

CHAS. HAMILTON.
NOTED AVIATOR,
MAY STAY HERE
Is Negotiating For Permanent
Hangar at the Bridgeport
AerOdrOme
Weighed Only 81 Pounds After
Coming From Hospital as
Result of Fall at Sac
ramentO

Charles K Hamilton, one of the
most noted air men in the world to-
day, watched the exhibition at the
Bridgeport Aerodrome yesterday with
more than usual interest, for he him
self is negotiating for a permanent
place at the aerodrome and may do
his spectacular flying experiment in
this city in the future
Hamilton is reduced to the human
limit Of gauntness, as the result of
the 100 foot fall sustained by him at
Sacramento, Cal. some months ago.
He was badly broken up at that time,
upsettfng out of a Wright flyer When
he left the hospital he weighed 81
pounds. Today he weighs about 1OO
but doesn't look any heavier than 81.
The coming to Bridgeport of such a
man as Hamilton, together with the
location here Of the Curtiss aeroplane
factory, together with the possession
of a splendid permanent aerodrome,
seems to assure Bridgeport a central
place on the aviation may Of the fu-
ture.
Hamilton came to Bridgeport yester-
day in an 80 horsepower American
roadster, with himself at the wheel
True to his traditions he only hit the
high places on the way down from
New Britain.
He paid a high compliment to Lin
coin Beachey when the latter returned
from his phenomenal flight sover
Bridgeport, yesterday, and declared
that more capable daring and cool
headed bird man doesn't exist.
Hamilton has just purchased a
Wright flyer of the latest model and
will have it ready for action within
couple of weeks
He has incorporated an aviation
company and is backed by a number
of prominent Connecticut men. He
will give exhibition flights and may
also undertake the manufacture of
aeroplanes. 1t is quite possible that
Bridgeport will be the scene of his
experiments and the site Of his fac
tory. He is enthusiastic about the
Bridgeport Aerodrome and declares
that it is much better than the aver
age flying field throughout the coun-
try.

PEACE TERMS OFF.
Rebel Leaders About Decided to
End Revolution By Capture of
Mexico City.

FL Paso, May 12-Although Fran
cisco I. Madero and his newly orga-
nized cabinet held conference, to-
day, during which the next step to-
wards bringing peace was discussed
no announcement was volunteered by
the provisional president of Mexico.
Several members of his cabinet de-
clared this attitude had been adopted
because while the insurgents leaders
sincerely desire peace they do not
want the impression to get abroad d
that they will accept humiliating
terms to secure it.
They point out that the capture of
Juarez has put the rebels in a posi-
ton to demand from President Dia2
and his government much more than
could have been demanded a week
ago. Few of the leaders believe now
that Diaz will discuss peace terms.
They think he will elect to fight the
battle out to the end and that it will
be necessary for the rebels to capture
Mexico City before the rebellion will
be ended.
The insurgent leaders expect to have
upwards of 10000 troops by the time
the Mexico City march is we'll under
way.
Meanwhile, General Oroczco has
completed his plans for meeting the
relief forces of Colonel Rabago and
General Looue.

MUNICIPAL WATER
SUPPLIES ENlARGING
IN CONN. CITIES
Hartford, Waterbury, Norwich
and Other municipalities
Create Additional Storage

i New Haven, May7t2+There is a suf-
ficient scarcity of rain to make the
water commissioners of Connecticut
cities wonder whether their supplies
will be affected before the extensive
new works inaugurated in Hartford
Waterbury and other places can be
completed. Taking warning from the
draught of last year, the municipal
water supplies were looked over with
a view to enlarging them and the
work is already well underway
At Hartford a total capacity of g.
135.O00,000 gallons is down to 500, 600, 900
gallons today. The water commits
gradually going down, but steps to
increase the supply have already been
taken
Meriden reported one-half of the to-
tai capacity in the reservoirs, today.
The town is in better shape to with
stand a dry spell than a year ago.
Waterbury, reported a fair supply
for this time of the year, but the
water commissioners stated that care
would have to be taken to escape a
serious drought. The Waterbury
system, today, it was stated, was
handicapped by the absence of a
single big reservoir. A huge one is
building but will not be ready for
some time.
New Haven officials say that the
local company was ready and the
situation was unusually favorable
here.
Clerk ]. S. Raymond of the Nor
wich Water Commissioners, said, to-
day, that conditions were just below
normal there. AS the result of the
city's terrible experience with a
droughte last November the commits
sioners are building a huge reservoir
at Stony Creek that will double the
capacity of the water system. The
will be in use early
next year.
Water supplies of both Norwalk
and South Norwalk are mostly stor-
age and over overflowing at present
so there is no immediate danger of
a famine.
Superintendent Senior of the
Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. stated, to-
day, that despite the general drouth
of the state which has made the mat
ter of water supply serious consid-
Grafton for several of the larger cities
Bridgeport has nothing to fear of a
shortage.
"Our total capacity" said he, "is
4,500,000,000 gallons. There has been
very little perceptible drain on it so
far. Only a long period of drouth
from now on will hamper us. We es-
innate that our capacity has been
reduced during the dry spell only to
about 4,300, 100000 gallons"
