Shows Need of Observer.

This was the first year that the trophy
has been competed for, and the condi-
tons were not those of actual warfare,
because the competition failed to provide
for an observer in the aeroplanes, leav-
ing the aviator to do his lying ana MS
observing unassisted.
If Lieut.. Milling had been carrying an
observer who could nave relieved MIN

been able to finish the scout instead or
being forced to return. Next year 1t is IN

pany the aviators.
lent Arnold on his return reported
that the air conditions were exceptionally
bad so that he was physically worn out
with the flight.
The problem set the aviators was to
start from College Park and detect the
presence of a body of troops somewhere
in a triangle formed by Alexandria, Fort
Myer and Falls Church. This problem
was stated to the aviators fifteen min
utes before the flight was commenced:
The scouts were to fly at a height of
more than 2.G00 feet as a matter of pre-
caution against terrestrial fire If they
dropped below 500 feet during the scout
they We're to be penalized and if they
came below 1000 feet they were to be-
disqualified.
Board of Officers.
The officers board appointed to judge
the flights consisted of Lieut. Col. Fred
erick Foultz of the general staff, Maj.
Charles Mex. Saltzman Of the Signal
Corps and Capt. Charles De F. Chandler,
also of the Signal Corps and the COM

Worn Out by Flight.
I.ieut Arnold returned to the field after
a lapse of forty-one minutes, decidedly
worn out with his flight. In his official
renort handed to the officers board a

Old Material Contracted For.

The report states that the method of
disposing of small quantities of old
materials from time to time at public
auction has been discontinued and
that last year, for the first time, speci-
fications We're prepared on which are
listed all such old materials as it is
known will accumulate, and these are
now sold under annual contracts.
1T is believed that this manner of
disposing of these materials is the most
advantageous to the District, that bet
ter prices are obtained, and the office is
relieved of arranging and attending
port.
1t is set forth in the report that the
sand and gravel wharf, for which Con-
gress appropriated $4,000, was completed
and put in active operation during the
year. The District is enabled to receive
at this point all sand and gravel used in
its construction work.
Small Purchase Authority.
Reference is made to the act of Con-
gress empowering the Commissioners to
make purchases in the open market to
the extent Of $50 without obtaining COM
petition.
This provision has been an inestimable
aid to this office in the expeditions pro-
curing of many articles of supplies and
little services needed in moments of emer-
gency, and which heretofore had to await
the obtaining of competitive bids" states

NEW YORK October ?.-Reyelation of
q crime-defense trust, in the person of a
New York lawyer, is likely to be the next
amazing outcome of the murder of Gam
bier Herman Rosenthal. for the instiga-
ton of which Police Lieut. Charles Becker
is now trial.
This development may be due to the kill
ing last Saturday night of Big Jack
Zelig who is said to have furnished the
gunner who killed Rosenthal. on Becker
order.
: When Ztig died the bail bond of S1O.-
tno on which he was freed following a
charge of carrying a gun. and which was
furnished by the National Surety Com
bany, was automatically cleared
That company had demanded cash for
the entire amount. according to state
nents made by judicial officials at the
time.
No One Claims It.
Whoever furnished that $4,000 cash
may recover possession of it a any time
now. No one has claimed it, according to
statements made at the National Surety
Company's office.
District Attorney Whitman had applied
for information on the amount of in
demnity the surety company demanded
on the Zelig bond and for the names OF
those who supplied the securities. This
request of Mr.. Whitman has been met
by the company with refusal to give the
information.
Will Expose the Trust.
It was learned that Mr.. Whitman does
not intend to let the matter rest there
His activities seem certain to reveal the
oil 10
hackers. as soon as discharge OF that bond
is made and that security said to be $1O,-
600 cash is returned.
This situation developed yesterday in
tracing the motive of Red Phil David
son for the killing of Zelig. beyond that
of revenge for robbery and assault by
Zelig which Davidson gave.
