In "The Faun" which William Fav-

disappointed who had expected that the
machine would be high enough in the
heavens, SO that they could view 1t as
well from a few block d%istanct. as
those who gathered directly under its
course. For the latter however the ex-
hibition could not have been better. II
was a splendid success.
The result was that when the Lake
front crowd returned there was still
lined up in Michigan avenue and on
some of the other STREETS abutting, a
large number who were not yet aware
that the wonderful flying machine"
had already passed through Indiana
Harbor and was then weir on its way

East Chicago. Ind, Aug. t16.-At q
special meeting of the East Cicago city
council last evening the rules were
suspended for the purpose of putting
through an ordinance providing for the
repair of the bridge which spans the
Calumet river at Kennedy avenue. This
action was taken in order TO prevent
unnecessary delay which would have
been unavoidable had the ordinance
taken the usual curse and been acted
upon without a suspension of the rules.
Some time & 1t was agreed by
the county commissioners that the
county would stand one-half the ex-
pense if and East Chicago
would share the balance. Hammond had
already agreed to the proposition. and
it remained for East Chicago to cinch
the agreement by taking the neces-
sary action. For this purpose a meet
ing of the council was called Monday
for some reason as yet unexplained.

been suspended, 1t required but one
contrary vote to hold up the measure.
A second special meeting was call
ed for last~nights and on this occa-
sion Alderman Ketcik failed to respond
when his name was called, his silence
being equivalent to assent. The or
dinance was accordingly adopted, and
the commissioners will begin to ad-
vertise the work at once for a term of
three weeks, after which work on hte
bridge will be begun at once.

Atwood's flight from Grant park was

the afternoon. and thousands cheered
the daring birdman as his Burgess
Wright biplane. with American flags
luttering to the wind. rose gracefully
in the air.
Atwood appeared on the field at 3:13,
and ten minutes later his macnine was
hauled out to the white line marking
the starting point. The aviator stood
on the beak of his machine while an
automobile towed the big bird to the
starting place. At the report of the
gun his assistants hurried to the pro-
pellers and with a twist the motors
whizzed his farewell. Atwood jump
ed into the seat and gave the signal 10

Amid tremendous applause from the
spectators. the gigantic bird darted
down the field and scared into the air.
He circled the field once in two min
utes. AS he passed the judges stand
he took his hand off the wheel and
! waved a farewell to his enthusiastic
admirers.
He took a southeasterly course along
the lake shore. Although seven other

MT. Geist couldn't see it that way.
The negotiations were then carried on
between c. II. Geist and the Cleveland
Trust Co. These gentlemen were un-
able to come to an agreement and Mr.
Geist was informed in that event that
the South Shore line would enter the
field as a competitor of the Northern
indian Gas & Electric Co. ana would
undersell that mpa in the power
field.
The threat was carried out with a
vengeance. The power agent of the
South Shore line was able to secure q
number of good contracts for power
from local manufacturers. The Cudahy
Packing Co. was one OF the South Shore
lines first customers.
But the lighting spirit of c. H. Geist
was equal to the occasion. He deter
mined to retaliate by entering the in
terurban field and paral1eling the
tracks of the South more limo.
Gets Gary Franchise.
Geist was able to secure a franchise
in Gary. Following the signing of this
franchise by Mayor Knots the officials
of the Cleveland Trust Co. began to
limit in protecting his power business
in the Calumet region.
Come to Agreement.
Negotiations were reopened and a
representative of the United Gas & I'M
provement Co. went from Philadelphia
to Cleveland to talk the matter over
with Mr.. Morgan of the Cleveland
Trust
In a little while q verbal agreement
was reached by which the United Gas
& Improvement Company decided to
purchase the surplus power of the
South Shore line for liz cents per
killowat hour.
Both sides claim the victory. The Z.
G. L. claims to have forced the South
Shore line to sell its power to Its only
competitor and the South Shore line
claims to have sold its power at its
own price instead of at cost.
