Aviation is likely to be one of the prin-
cipal uses that will be made of the lower
end of Potomac Park, if the wishes of

the Smithsonian Institution plans have
been drawn by the advisory committee

cation of the lower end of Potomac Park
FOR its outdoor experimental work The
Smithsonian Institution has appointed an
advisory committee of twenty-three mem
bers, including the foremost scientific
workers in aerial research in this country
1t has appropriated from it's funds $40 900
for starting the work the first year. and
this Will be supplemented by $4,000 year
for five years thereafter. In the mean
time 1t Is expected that Congress will
make appropriations from year to year
to extend the work of the laboratory and
carry on the experimental research that
s demanded by the army and navy.
Since Col. Cosby recommended the use
Of the lower end of Potomac Park for a
great Washington playground, the MEM
bers or the advisory committee have
stated that II Is also an ideal place for

could be carried on without interfering
with It's popular uses. Col Cosby rec

PETITIONS THE PRESIDENT.
Mexican Insurgent Governor Pleads
Against RECOGNITION of Huerta.

TUCSON, Ariz, July live pray you
not to permit the nations of Europe to
make of the United States an agency to
collect moneys that they have advanced
or have agreed to advance for the sup
port of the murierous Huerta govern
ment.''
This petition has been wired to Presi-
dent Wilson by Ignacio Pesquiera, the
constitutionalist governor of Sonora.
The insursent governor of Sonora asserts
that Huerta is back Of the European
powers in urging declaration of the at
titude of the United States toward Mex
lean affairs.
The message to President Wilson con-
tinued: These nations have advanced
their money with full knowledge that 1t
was to usurping government. Now
when Huerta and his followers are being
crushed he appeals to the powers which
have advanced money to him that they
force the United States to grant him
recognition. The people of Mexico who
have been fighting and winning battles to
sustain the regular government protest
against this attempt to take from them
their hard-won laurels. The state troops
have protected and always will protect
American interests in Mexico"
