The expenses of these headquarters, ac-
cording to the most conservative esti-
! mates. must be 5000 week. Senator
Jonathan Bourne is not paying the
freight. The management is entirely dis
tinct from Senator Bourne's movement,
known as the National Progressive Re-
publican League, which is housed Al
another building.
Mr. Bourne is too busy financing his
own establishment to be diverted to
the La Toilette committee 1t is UNI
derstood that some time ago the Pro-
gressive League was drawing SO heavily
upon Senator Bourne that he decided, in
the interest of economy, to dispense
with the services of the then secretary,
a political friend of Senator La Fol-
lette's, and to let his private secretary
do the secretarying for the league.
1t is admitted that Medill Mccormick
Clifford Pinchot. Charles R. Crane Of
Chicago and Rudolph Spreckles of San
Francisco have contributed to support
the La Toilette committee in Washing
ton. Mr.. Crane. who fell out with Presi-
dent Taft when his appointment as min
lister to China was recalled, 1t is said,
has undertaken the work of financing

over wealthy and liberal, could long

Senator La Toilette is not wealthy

he pays much of his clerical assistance
from his personal funds. The Senate
allows him three or four clerks, but he
has a much larger staff. He has been

season from the chautauqua platform.

The Wright brothers first device for
balancing an aeroplane was patented IN

were encountered and it has never been

disfavor. 1t is said that none of them had

Aeroplanes on Even Keel.

SAID TO BE LIKE AILERONS

KILL DEVIL HILL, N. c., October %.
To make travel in the air as practically
safe as it is on the earth is known to be
the real purpose of the experiments
which the Wright brothers are conducting
here. They are working upon their new
mechanism designed to keep an aeroplane
on an even keel. This problem Of stabil-
ity has been the study of aviators the
world over The Wrights began their
work upon it before 1907. What they
have accomplished, if anything, both Or
vile and Wilbur are keeping secret.
1t is expected that their newest mech
anism will be sent here from the factory
at Dayton and tried out on the glider.
In some respects the Wright continuance
is said to resemble the aileron device used
on the Curtiss biplane and some of the
foreign machines.
How Ailerons Operate.
Ailerons are small flaps. looking much
like window shutters. They are attached
to the main plane The principle upon
which they operate is that when tricky
gust tits the aeroplane out of balance
one Of the ailerons fiops downward while
another flops upward. That makes a diff
terence in the air resistance on the sides
of the aeropiane and helps it to settle
back to level One of the Curtiss ma
chimes equipped with ailerons has been In
the Wright factory at Dayton several
weeks.
The device which the Wright brothers
may try is said to apply this principle
with the use of a pendulum hanging into
space below the aeroplane. The law of
gravity of course, is expected to keep
the pendulum hanging straight downward
like a plumb-bob.
The upper end of the pendulum rod Will
be connected with the ailerons. and as
the aeroplane dips from side to side grav-
ity will cause the pendulum to swing
The swinging of the pendulum is depend
ed upon to operate the ailerons up and
down and restore, the stability OF the
flying machine.

Judge Clemens made a ruling this
morning on a point raised yesterday
that w. R. Castle had no interest in
the mauKa portion of the land wanted
for the Waikiki forts, containing about
one out of the four acres, therefore
could not testify relative to it's value.
Motions were maze this morning by
District Attorney Breckons for the gov
eminent, and Holmes, Stanley & Oh
son for Nohola, to strike out different
parts of Mr.. Castles testimony The
motions were denied, and then Mr..
Breckons made another motion to
eliminate a different item of the tes-
timony, on which the court reserved
it's ruling until Saturday morning.

rent was paid, was per cent of the
value of the fee.
