st. Louis, Sept GA re-enforced
aeroplane and an expert aviator, prob
ably Walter Brookins, will be at the
service of President Taft during his
st. Louis visit tomorrow
Albert Bond Lambert, president of
the Aero Club of st. Louis has ad-
mitted his intention to remind Presi-
dent Taft of the successful trip made
In an aeroplane at ST. Louis last De-
tober by former President Roosevelt,
and to try to induce the present chief
executive to take IA little spin into the
air.
1t is possible that Mr.. Lambert, a
young st. Louis millionaire who sew
eral days ago won an aeroplane pilots
license from the Aero Club of Ameri-
ca will offer to accompany the presi-
dent into the air as pilot. But wheth-
er the President will accept the in
vitation to make an air trip is very
uncertain. Such Il trip of course is
not on the official program, any more
than was Colonel Roosevelts trip.
Men OF great responsibilities make
air trips on the impulse Of the mo-
ment, rather than after due delibera
ton. Colonel Roosevelt, notwith-
standing his we'll known courage,
probably had no intention of gong up
until he saw several bi.dmen flying
gracefully aud with apparent safety.
At that same meet l.. D. Dozier,
known as the 'flightless aeronaut,
whom Mr. Lambert succeeded as
president of the Aero Club, was lured
into an aeroplane on the preteXt OF
being wanted there to pose for pie
ture, and then was hurried up before
he could protest. His friends took the
precaution to provide him with an ex.-
perienced aviator. who brought him
safely back Although, after waving
to the crowd as the biplane contain
ing him passed over the grandstand,
Mr.. Dozier alighted unscratched and
Dragging about the superiority of ae
roplaning over automobiling as a
means of recreation, he has not yet
taken his second trip, nor has he at
tempted any more posing in real
aeroplane.
Although the special railroad rates
for the free flying, Yelled Prophet

iieved that many residents OF nearby
cities and towns not on the chief exc

Louis TO hear his speech at p. m. in
the Coliseum, ~.
Admission to the Coliseum meeting
will be free, no ticket Oh invitation be-
ing needed Although the speaking
will not begin until o'clock and the
building holds about $4,000 persons
those who come to st. Louis especially
to hear the presidents speech and
therefore would have reason for con-
siderable disappointment should they
be unable to gain entrance, are advis-
ed to present themselves at the build
ing not later than p. NJ. and earlier

dent Of the Million Population Club,
the organization by whose invitation
President Taft comes to st. Louis,
and chairman of the General Commit
tee Of Arrangements, believes that thu

capacity. will prove unsufficiently
large to accommodate all who would
hear the president speak in justifi-
cation of his policies.
