Thinks Flight Possible.

London, Feb. 9.-Views of four ia
nous aviators are published by the
Daily Mail in regard to the proposed
transatlantic flight. Tom Sopwith
says:
at is a tremendous undertaking,
but with the rapid advance in the
science of constructing water planes,
it is now we'll within the regions of
possibility"
Gustav Hamel says: Lieutenant
Porte is magnificent pilot and fur
thermore an experienced navigator,
which will be important in such a
fight"
James Valentine declares: "Lieu-
tenant Porte is one Of the best men
for the undertaking. Given fair
weather and good following wind
for the best part of the journey, a
very fast machine and good luck, it
should not be an impossible feat"
"When the transatlantic fight was
first proposed" said B. c. Hucks, II
thought the day of its accomplish
ment very remote. l have altered
this opinion now. THE magnificent
long distance flights of pilots in the
last six months have proved the task
perfectly feasible"

the nation has been saved from the
dominion of a few money mad finan-
ciers.
at will not be long before the Mex
lean situation will be solved in ac-
cordance with the policy of the presi

umphs of diplomacy in the history OF

tunes ever seen upon the London
stage were worn in Granville Bark

summer Nights Dream" as the Sa-
voy theatre. One critic calls it a
Shakespeare nightmare. Oberon, Ii
tania and their attendant fairies were
dressed from head to foot in gold
bronze with faces of gilt and Grim
son eyebrows. The other immortals
wore grotesque masks with metallics
whiskers and ringlets. The costumes
of the mortals were more rational,
but were strange mixture of peri
ods and countries. Beautiful llllah

former governor general of the Phil
ippines, for the first time since his re-
moval from office, openly criticised
the administration for the methods
used in replacing officials of the ISL

He told the delegates the only way
to get the best government for the
Philippines or such places was to al
low officials to hold their places on
their merits only and that if man
made good he should be allowed to
remain, regardless Of political affili-
ations.
-Four thousand schools have been
opened in the islands," Mr. Forbes
said. "These schools furnish instruc-
ton to more than 100000 persons at
the present time. Games and sports
are being taught also"

to urge the passage of the bill max
ing it legal to appoint women police
officers in the state; to urge the mem
bers of Congress to enact a law
against polygamy; to oppose any
measure that might be aimed to re-
peal the child labor law, and to make
united effort against the bill for
Spanish war veterans preference in
civil examinations.

IN THE RING.

ker will take his departure from San
Francisco Sunday afternoon. The Aus
tralian might have fingered few
days longer, but his wife is not in
the best of health and they are anx-
ious to spend few days at Paso
Robles. Baker intends arriving in Los
Angeles barely in time to witness the
Clabby- Petroskey match. Then he will
20 to Southern California for few
days, after which he will strike for
Chicago and Milwaukee, New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and other large
cities. From this country he goes to
London.
When Ad Wolgast hears what Willie
Richie has to say on the subject of
contract jumpers, the ex-champion of
the world will doubtless feel even less
friendly toward the man who wrested
from him his title than he was be-
fore. Ritchie isn't mincing words
this time. He comes out in the open,
no doubt stung at the loss of the Mil
waukee engagement. 1t isn't the first
time that the same pair have angled
in a clash of words either.
The other occasion came in Los An
geles some time last August. Richie
was in the southland on a motor trip
while Wolgast was hanging around
loafing. The arrival of Ritchie raised
envious thoughts in the mind of VOL
CAST, and he started to talk matches.
He not only limited, but he declared
that Richie was afraid to give him
return match.
Richie called Wolgast and Jones,
but when it came to cases the Jones'
Wolgast combination soft pedaled and
offered side bet and allowed it to be
inferred that they expected wagers
to be made at the prevailing odds.
Months later when Wolgast had par
TALLY rehabilitated himself by VIM
ming over Joe Rivers, Jones revived
the subject of match and made great
promises. Tom Andrews offered to
provide the wherewithal and the match
might have been a certainty save that
Wolgast suddenly evinced desire to
be paid higher proportion Of the re-
ceipts and later said he wanted 20
round fight or none at all.
"Wolgast will never have chance
at me unless he agrees to this match"
said Ritchie. "Indeed, doubt very
much if he wants the chance. He
likes the advertising but does not want
to take any chances. Let him go along
with his Tommy Careys and Rudy
Unholzes and the balance of that kind.
That's just where he lives and l do
not believe that he intends to venture
out into deep water. Wolgast or Jones
agreed to terms Of the Milwaukee
match and Ad should be forced to live
up to his agreement"
Doubtless there will be an answer
from Wolgast as soon as he learns
what has been said about him.
Philadelphia, Feb. 9.-Johnny Kill
bane, feather weight champion of the
world, demonstrated that he is le-
gitimate feather weight notwithstand-
ing all the printed comments to the
