lands Youthful Aviator Is
Determined to Fly.
NEW MACHINE is LARGER

Week or So Ago.

Harold W. Jensen, the youthful avia-
tor OF this city, who recently made a
short but successful fight in a plane
or his own make, is now seeking more
worlds to conquer and is contemplate
ing the construction of a larger ma

feet in length, while the plane which
he is now considering will be 90 feet
long and two feet wide at the front,
tapering to a point at the back The
two large front planes are to be 612
feet wide and the rising plane 7x3.
The aierons, to be attached before the
large front planes, will measure 4x1,
and the rudder will be 2x3. The wings
will have LAG square feet of surface,
making them only u feet smaller than
those on the Bleriot monoplanes.
which have a surface area Of 1873

the fitting plane and the rudder by
means of two levers. and the ailerOns
by means of strap around the opera
tors shoulders.
SPRUCE USED THROUGHOUT.
Three wheels 90 inches in diameter.
two in the front and one in the rear,
are to be placed on the plane. Clear
grained spruce will be used on the
frame throughout, with the exception
of the ribs, which will be Eastwood.
All parts of the machine will be bolt
ed together, and the planes viii be
covered with a lightweight, close-wov-
en- canvas. Judging by the success
which has attended Jensen's previous
efforts. the new plane will no doubt be
practicable. and friends of the lad pre-
dict that he will some day take his
place in the ranks of accomplished
birdmen.

MEHAFFEY IS HELD
 ON LARCENY CHARGE
Stranger Going to Oklahoma Says His Purse Was Snatched from
 Him at the Station

Claude Mehaffey was lodged in the ccun- ty jail yesterday on a charge of grand
 larceny. He was arrested by Detectives Gray and National and officers Cole and
 Warren. Mehaffey's bond was fixed at
 s6oO.
 The officers claim that Mehaffey swim dled or snatched a purse containing $500
 from M A. Pope, who passed through
 Birmingham en route to Oklahoma. Pope appeared at the police station and reported to the officers that he had got off a train at the Louisville and Nasn- vile depot and was going to the Termi- nal station to get a train to Oklahoma when a stranger accosted him, and after a few minutes conversation casually men,
 tioned the fact that he was going to Okla homa The stranger said that he was
 going to Oklahoma also and proposed
 that they go together. MT. Pope claims
 that he pulled out his pocketbook to pur-
 chase some cigars and the stranger
 grabbed 1t and ran.
 Detectives Nation and Gray and OIL cers Cole and Warren accompanied Pope through the streets to look for the man who had swindled him. They encountered Claude Mehaffey and MT Pope at once pointed him out as the man who got the
 money.
 | Mehaffey was at once placed under sr- rest. The officers state that he did not deny getting the money but claimed that
 he won it from Pope

BOXING CONTEST TO
 BE GIVEN TONIGHT

All arrangements have been completed for the boxing and wrestling entertain ment, which is to be held at the Gelders hall on Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, tonight, under the management of J. E. Miles.
 There will be two three-round boxing exhibitions between local boys, a six round go between a Philadelphia boxer and local man. But the center of the attraction will probably be a four round boxing contest between two well known boys of this city.
 There will be several wrestling con- tests. Several different wrestlers will enter these contests and will no doubt prove very interesting to the lovers of this sport.
 The comical part of the entertainment will be the battle royal between two 'burheads." These contests have been held at the Athletic club and have proven to be quite interesting and amusing.
 The contest will begin at S:15.

PROFESSIONAL MEN
 ARE PAYING TAXES
New Law Aids the State, But the City Loses Considerable Reve-
 nue By the Change

The office of the probate court at the court house has for several days been the scene of unusual activity on account of the large number of professional men coming in to pay the state license levied on them by the law which went into ef- feet last May. Up to that time the state had laid no tax upon any of the profess sions, and many professional men did not even know that they were to be taxed A few days ago notice was sent out by the tax commissioners to all who had not paid. that they were delinquent and the result was rush to the court house to square things. q +,
 The law, 1t is claimed. has its advan- tages, however, notwithstanding if leves a tax. For it Is provided by the statutes that the municipality may levy no great CT taxes than the state. Since the state tax on professional men for license Is only $55O, the city can now levy that amount whereas it had formerly charged much more. In the case of physicians the city license is reduced from $15 to S55O and in the case of architects the reduction is from $35 to $5.50, so that in both cases the amount paid to the state for license is now less than was for merlv paid to the city alone.
