EVIDENCE DISAPPEARS.
Battered Ink Tank of Los Angeles
Times Is Missing.

t'stsN@ - '--"~~.f
Los Angeles-The ink tank of the
Los Angeles Times building, which is
to be one of the chief exhibits of the
defense TO prove that an explosion of
gas and not of dynamite wrecked the
plant the morning of October l, 1910,
is missing. The 500 pounds of iron
has disappeared from the mountain of
junk on the bank of the Los Angeles
river.
District Attorney Fredericks does
not know what has happened to the
tank and the attorneys for the de-
tense, who relied upon it to make the
chief point in their case, do not seem
to be much worried about the disap-
pearance-
District Attorney Fredericks takes
a philosophical view of the disappear
ance of the tank
At the junk yard where the wreck
age of the Times building was dumped
when the ruins were cleared away, il
was learned that the tank had beer
sold. A stranger, a big man, well
dressed, and who arrived at the yart
in an automobile, purchased the tank.
He said he wanted it for use in stor
ing oil. His name was not learned by
the junk dealer and he carted away
the important piece of evidence
1t is known that the defense hal
kept a watch over the tank and it il
declared that it is improbable that j
was taken away without the making
of report as to where it went to th'
Office of Clarence barrow.

|AIR TRAVEL SAFER
Automatic Balancing Device Per-
fected by Wright Brothers.
Claim Glider Can Be Held Stationary
Over Given Point for Five
Minutes.

Kill Devil Hill, N. C. - Announce
ment that the problem of the auto
matte control of the aeroplane has
been solved by the Wright brothers
has created tremendous interest in the
aviation world. This was made evil
dent by the number Of kilograms and
cable messages received by Oryille
Wright.
While Mr.. Wright refuses to go
into details as TO the new mechanical
device, he said that an automatic sta
bilizer had been experimental with
on power-driven machines and had
proved satisfactory. 1t is his desire
to test the device in strong wind that
brought him to the bleak sand hills
on the coast of North Carolina
There are other things, however,
which Mr.. Wright hopes to demon
strate with his new biplane- He said
that he believed it possible to make a
flight of one mile over the ground in a
glider without the aid of motor.
Asked If it would be possible for the
new biplane to hover over a given
point in the face of heavy gale for
considerable time, Mr.. Wright said
Before we leave here we hope to
demonstrate that the glider can be
held in fixed position in the air for
five minutes or more"
This automatic stabilizer consists
of pair of ailerons- The ailerons
are in effect small supplementary
wings at the outer extremities of the
planes and usually are operated
through a yoke attached TO the shout
der of the aviator.
If the machine tips to the left, the
aviator leans to the right and vice
versa When be leans, the aileron OF
the down side of the aeroplane bends
down and the opposite one bends up
This movement tends to right the
aeroplane and brings it back to the
horizontal.
While no details have been made
public, it is understood that pendu-
lum hanging under the machine will
work the ailerons independent of thu
warping wings and thus, if the aero
plane is thrown off its sidewise bal
ance, the automatic stabilizer vii
tend to restore it TO even keel

CANE IS AGES OLD.


10 fHf<t~tf@ - fI1't"F
President Taft has among the SOU
venirs Of his Western trip cane cut
from stump which scientists declare
was tree before the glacial period
The wood was found in the valley Of
the south fork Of the Old Man river in
the southern part of the province Of
Alberta by Professor W. s. Foster, a
geoIogist and explorer, living in Spo-
kane. The cane, which is valued at
IS. 600. was presented by Edwin T.
Conan, president of the chamber Of
commerce, on behalf of the people of
Spokane.
The stump, which stood in a peat
bed, was found beneath 60 feet of
glacial wash, said Professor Foster,
giving a history of the discovery,
"and preserved to the present day by
one Of the wonderful freaks of nature
The peat, from which the stump was
taken, is on a sandstone formation and
is about three feet in thickness. Sea
weeds and flag stocks found nearby
are also well preserved
'sThis peat bed was uncovered BY
the wearing away of the glacial wash
by foods and the flow Of the Old Mar
river. There IL not the least ques
ton in my mind that the tree grew
before lhe glacial period, more thar
ESQ, 900 years ago, but so far | have
not been able to ASCERTAIN the kind o.
wood it Is.
The discovery was made not lous
ago in the Frank district, which is 25l
miles north OF Spokane and fully 40'
miles east of the Pacific ocean Tn
presence Of well-preserved seawee'
and flagstock in abundance, buried un-
der so feet of glacial deposit, appear
to be sufficient proof Of its antiquity

scientific character to bear out all o
my assertions
More than that, l am prepared Il
