AWATORS DISQUALIFIED
FOR POLO FIELD STUNTS
Aero Club of America Bars the
Offending Members from
"MeetS" for a Period.
BOTH PUBLICLY CENSURED
Airmen Violated Clubs Rule
Adopted in November, 1911
Action Taken After Many
Protests Were Filed.

Frederick c. Hid and c. Murvin
Wood. the aviators who aroused the
indignation Of the crowd at the inter-
national polo game last Tuesday by
gliding over the field and doing flying
stunts" only a few feet above their
heads, were publicly censured and dis
qualified at a meeting of the contest
committee Of the Aero Club of America
yesterday.
Hid was disqualified until January
!. 1914. and Wood until August 1, 1918.
During this period they will not be
permitted TO participate in any meet
or exhibition recognized by the Aero
Club Of America or by the international
Aeronautical Federation.
Hid and Wood were at the hearing
yesterday. They were. forbidden, how
ever 10 talk Of the clubs action for
publication. w Knox Martin. another
airman. had also been summoned be-
fore the committee 10 answer for the
same offence. but did not appear. No
disposal Of his case was made yester-
day.
AS early as November 13. 1911, the
practice Of aviators in flying over spec
tators and contestants in athletic
games caused the board Of governors
of the Aero Club to pass special reso-
buttons against such exhibitions.
Of hp n a
tional Aeronautical Federation all avia-
tors licensed by the Aero Club OF
America were forbidden to fly over or
in proximity TO spectators or contest
ants in sports other than licensed AVA
ton meets or exhibitions.
The many letters and protests that
have come TO the Aero Club since last
TUESDAYS performances in the air at
the Meadow Brook polo field have i'm
messed the leaders in aviation in this
country with the fact that the public
does not take kindly to the buzz OF
aeroplanes over their heads when they
are watching an athletic contest.
II is the opinion that most Of these
exhibitions are nothing more than an
ATTEMPT at self-advertisement on the
part Of the airmen.
The Moisant Aviation School. at NO
1890 Broadway, with which c. Murvin
Wood is connected, said, through one OF
its officials Wednesday, that Wood had
not flown over the crowd at the polo
game. but only over the open field.
They believed that this fact would
excuse Wood from any penalty that
might be imposed by the Aero Club
upon the other aviators. But the
clause in the resolutions Of November
10, 1911, which forbids flying over or
In the close vicinity Of spectators or
contestants in games or sports Ell
fectually disposed Of this excuse.
In view Of yesterdays action by the
Aero Club in disqualifying Hid and
Wood. It is probable that no aeroplane
will hover over the field at the second
international polo game to-day.

Members OF the fusion Committee OF

IS NEAR At HAND
Senator Clapp Says it's Com.
ing-Mass Meeting Held
in Washington.

Washington, March 10.-severai
hundred men and women gathered
yesterday in mass meeting in protes,
against the disturbance Of the suffrage
parade on Pennsylvania avenue last
Monday and the conduct of the police
along the line Of march.

tendent OF police and his force were

incompetence" and those who inter-
fered with the procession were called
''brutal loafers." The speakers were
Senators Clapp Of Minnesota. Shat.
roth and Thomas of Colorado and

The greater part Of the days speech
making was devoted to arguments in
favor Of suffrage for women, AMI the
references to last Mondays trouble
were largely incidental. Senator
Clapp assured the audience that WON.
an suffrage throughout the country
was a matter of but few years, Las,
Mondays spectacle" he said, was a
sad one. 1t is a sad thought that pure
womanhood cannot march along the
streets of the capital Of a free nation
without Insult. The fact that drunk
fn. depraved manhood could come to
Insult American women in evidence

tical system in this country has come
In its fight against progress. I be-
beve last Mondays episode will bring
me country to the realization that
you cannot league yourself with WRONG

,ponsibility for the acts of the sub.
tratum Of supporters Of wrong"
Senator Thomas told the audience
hat the disorder Of Monday marked
new point Of progress in the suffrage
lampaign.
THE movement" he said, "ha.
passed through the stages Of ridicule

point 1t is but short step to victory

tl,usiasm and numerous telegrams
from suffrage leaders ali over the

Washington, March 10.-President
Wilson will take a hand himself in
framing legislation with congress.
With the cooperation Of party lead
ers in the house and senate. he pro-
poses to work over tariff, currency and
other important measures even before
they are introduced and to lend the
weight of the administration to the
support Of bills.

The president does not plan to
draft legislation. but expects by sug-
gestion and conference to come to an
agreement upon specific measures
with the party leaders.
Currency Legislation Not Decided.
1t has not been determined whether
currency will be taken up at the spe-
cial session. 1t was learned today
that when the president believes the
time is ripe for such legislation he
will call into conference such men as

Such a process. the president be-

individual bills usually offered when

party leaders towards that kind Of

the effect Of steading the nervous sy,s-

THE PRESIDENT
FOOLS CURIOUS
Hundreds Lined up to See
Him Enter Church-Went
to Another Edifce

Washington, March 10.-President
Wilson made a quick shift in his plans
for church going yesterday, much to
the disappointment Of hundreds OF
Washingtonians. but greatly to his
own satisfaction and that of Mrs. Will
son.
Instead Of being the center Of In
terest for thousand curious eye,
and the focus for q clickenins camera
battery. they worshippsd in q hall
filled church in a. quiet part of the
city. while the crowd which expected
to see themzcome a go I. mile away
wondered how It had all happened.
Announcements in local newspapers
that the president would occupy the
Lincoln pew in the New York avenue
PRESBYTERIAN chulch brought out q
crowd Of curious persons who filled
that broad thoroughfare from curb
to curb for. a block and a half, put
damper on traffic and caused the
prompt dispatch Of ten policemen to
keep a pathway clear for the expected
guests.
Long before IL o'clock, the hour
set for the beginning of the service,
the ushers announced that all seats
had been taken and the more persist
ent who wished to enter had to be
content with standing room on the
sidewalk. Many Of them waited until
noon before they were convinced that
the president was not coming.
The few faithful who remained aft
er the service had an opportunity to
see Vice President and Mrs. Marshall
returning from this New York avenue
church to their hotel.
The president, Mrs. Wilson a..tl Miss
Eleanor worshipped at the Central

and they were out of sight down a

photographers flying far out in the
northwest section to another Presby-
terian church. SO that there were only
a few persons at the door when the
presidential party came out. They
were driven hack Immediately to the
white house through streets nearly de-
serted.
The absence of the familiar aide in
full dress and the chugging. motor
cycles Of the two policemen kho fol-
lowed President Taft everywhe on
his motor rides. left the white house
car unmarked except for the coat of
arms Of the nation on the door panels.
Vice President Marshall and Mrs.
Marshall were recognized by only a
few persons on their way to church,
but after thew were seated aud hoforc
the services began the word began to
spread that they were present and
there was a polite craning of l.ecks to
see them.
