School. and the aviators who have been
practicing there are being turned out to
find fresh quarters.
Capt. I. S. Baldwin, the former dirigible
expert, who sold the only dirigible bal
loon to the government. has shifted his
quarters to College Park, and there is
report that there will be a general
exodus of New York aviators to WASH
ington. This probably is not altogether
true. in the view Of local flying enthusi-
asts.
Many of the Mineola fliers are New
York business men who are experiment.

reation. These. it is pointed out. would
not come as far as Washington, and it
Is probable they will be allowed to rent
hangers on the Mineola field. 1t is likely
that aviators who are making and flying
machines for profit will be forced to go
elsewhere.

MRS. V|LES NOW HERE
WITH HER LITTLE SON
Latter Loses No Time in Max
ing Friends With His
Step-Brother.

Mrs. Eulah Blair Paden viles has reach
four-year-old son. whom she wrested from
she is domiciled at 32S Maryland avenue,
the home of voler v. viles. chief clerk
Of the census bureau whom she married
shortly after obtaining a decree Of d.
vorce in the courts of Missouri.
Little Ivan Paden has a new friend. His
step-brother, the son of Mr.. Viles, by his
first wife. few years older than the
newcomer into the family, has under
taken the task of making the little chap
at home. He has introduced the younger
boy to all the games he knows and toss
ball seems to be the favorite amusement.
Mrs Viles. tired after her long
travel. reached Washington yesterday
afternoon. some time after $3.50 o'clock.
Not knowing the train on which she
would arrive. Mr.. Viles did not meet
her at the station. She went direct
to the house. Mr.. Viles learned Of her
presence there by telephone and hur-
ried home to her.
No Fear for His Safety.
No fear that the father Of Ivan
Paden will be able to disturb him is
by Mr.. and Mrs. viles. The
circumstances Of the divorce recree
which was granted on the evidence Of
cruel treatment and neglect toward
the mother of the boy. and his extreme
youth. are assurances that the law will
regard him as in the proper custody of
his mother.
Mr.. Paden followed his former wife
from Greenville, Tex. where she Sc
cured possession of their child, to La
mont, Okla. After that he dropped out
of the race. Mrs. Viles heard no more
of pursuit on her journey to Wash
ington.

Miss Rawlings to Testify.

Miss Jane Rawlings. who it Is alleged,
was also assaulted by Allnutt at the
time he attacked his sister and mother.
will be a witness for the prosecution.
She was in the courtroom when the case
was called two weeks ago. ready to take
the stand, and will be in court again
Monday to tell everything that happened
in the Allnutt home the morning Mrs.
Veirs. according to the testimony, was
clubbed to death. Miss Rawlings Is the
states most important witness.
States Attorney Waters has made
every effort to secure the attendance Of
Sallie Bailey, who was housekeeper at
the Allnutt home and who was there at
the time Of the alleged murder. but 1t is
doubtful II she will be present. Soon
after the tragedy she left the state and
is now said to be in Philadelphia. Her
non-attendance. however, will not inter-
fere with the progress of the trial.
AS has been stated. the defense will be
insanity. To establish such a contention
the defense is relying principally on the
testimony Of DR.. Hill. Within two or
three days after Allnutt was brought to
Rockville DR.. Hill visited him in his cell
and spent several hours observing him
and conversing with him. While the re-
suit of his examination Of Allnutt has not
been made public. 1t is believed to have
been entirely satisfactory to Allnutt's
counsel and to have given them confidence
that Ii will be proved to the satisfac ton
of the jury hat Allnutt was mentally ir-
responsible a. E time he killed his sis
ter.

To Bring New Machine.

Capt. Baldwin already has rented part
of one of the new double hangers at
College Park. He announces that he
will take his new machine there next
week. Bud Mars and Tod" Shriver,
both formerly Of the Curtiss team. are
with him as aviators. but they will be
on the road in exhibition work most of
the summer. and it is not likely Wash
ington will see much of them.
Baldwin's new machine is of the gen.
eral Curtiss type. The novelty in its con-
struction is the fact that the main frame
is built of thin steel tubing filled with
hickory. making 1T very light and strong
arly known as the Red Devil Capt
Baldwin has been making tour of the
orient. He has made several long flights
in the new machine since returning =
is reported to be fast and reliable.
Factory is Finished.
The Rex Smith Company, which is
building a factory at College Park, has
finished the building and is installing the
machinery. including fifteen horsepower
gasoline engine. 1t has a second flying
machine ready to assemble and this prob
ably will be finished by the end Of this
week. The old machine that was flown at
Potomac Park, and which has been out
on the road In exhibition flights. will be
returned to College Park this week and
will be used for training aviators, while
the new machine will be sent out on the
road. to be followed by others as soon
as they can be built.
The government hangers for four ma
chimes are being built as rapidly as pos
sible. One is practically finished. 1t will

as it is ready to use. The other army
hangers are taking form. 1t is expected
that some of the army officers detailed to

Governor Stubs Says There Ought to
Be More Ponds.

The first annual meeting of the
Kansas Engineering society closed late
Saturday at the Commercial club. One
hundred members were present and a
strong program of addresses was car
ried out.
ct believe the problem of the dis
position of flood waters in Kansas has
come to be a mighty big question"
said Governor w. r. Stubs, in the
course of an address of welcome.
IT am in favor of damming the
draws with a view to making fish
ponds. 1 believe that water will be
found more valuable than land for
food producing purposes, and water
thus conserved can be used for irri-
cation purposes
Professor w. c. Hoad of the state
university responded to the address.
The report of the committee on
stream pollution and sewerage which
was read by Professor Hoad was con-
sidered of much Importance.
Speakers in the closing session
were: n. T. Veatch of the state uni
ersity, who spoke on 1.-THE Improved

HARD BLOW TO DEFENSE
Court Rules Out Conspiracy Testimony
in the Schenlx Case.

( Wheeling. Jan. 23.-When the trial OF
Mrs. Laura F. Schenk opened today, the
court on motion of the prosecutor
struck from the record the testimony
of Jane Hedges, who declared
on the stand Saturday that Albert
Schenk had told her he would leave
no stone unturned to get Laura Sehenk
out Of the family The prosecutor de-
clared that nothing had been adduced
connecting Albert Schenk with such
plan.
The testimony of DR.. Benjamin Nor
rison, also was eliminated. He said
DR.. Meyers, an important witness
against Mrs. Schenk was an employee
in the hospital conducted by I. NJ. Has
kins, brother-in-law of John O..
Schenk.
Prosecutor Handlan at once submit
ted his instructions. Judge Jordan then
adjourned court until O'Clock.
The exclusion of the alleged eonspir-
acy evidence by Judge Jordan was a
severe blow to the defense as it leaves
their case before the jury with nothing
but the testimony of the experts.

AFTER STEEL TRUST.
Stanley of kentucky Urges Action by
Congress.

washington, Jan. 23.-Declaring
1.-The steel industry has passed from
the hands of those Who developed 1T
into the hands of those who practiced
the dubious acts by which the law is
violated and the public exploited,
Representative Stanley of Kentucky
urged the rules committee of the house
today to approve his resolution calling
for an investigation of the socalled
steel trust.
Mr.. Stanley said the investigation
and prosecution of the steel trust
should not be held back to await the
decision of the supreme court in the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
company cases. The steel merger is
not parallel to either of the other con-
solicitations, he said. but is similar to
that of the Northern Securities COM
pany previously dissolved by the SUI
preme court The Stanley resolution
provides for committee of ltine menu
bers to report bill requiring action
to be taken on any violation of the
Sherman antitrust act that may be
found to have occurred.
