WRIGHT STADILZER
GREATLY REFINED
Aviator Believes He Has In
proved Machine Until 1t Is
Now "Fool Proof"

DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 5.-Orvills
Wright, the aviator, has several sur
prises in store for the people inter-
ested In air traffic. according to late
reports from his factory, where he Is
daily working on several new inven-
tions.
By the perfection OF the aero boat, or
hydro-aeroplane. Wright has brought
forward, for both commercial and pleas
ure use, one of the unique mechanical
I'VE have invented an automatic sta
bility device which will revolutionize
flight 1t Is more accurate than any
aviator can be. and will make flying
fool-proof, or as nearly fool-proof as
anything can be. / have flown many
miles with II, and have never touched
the controls. We are now simplifying
II, and expect to be able to bring
1t to the point where it may be put In
to see the day when it will be Just as
safe to board an aeroplane and take a
long trip as 1t Is to make a Journey
behind locomotive. The stability de-
vice will go long way toward making
this dream q reality. Our device In
sures lateral as well as fore and aft
tricity."
Discussing the future OF the aero
plane. Mr.. Wright said:
THE aeroplane will be used for COM
mercial purposes, especially as a means
OF speedy transportation over vast dis
tances. Over waste places and deserts
the aeroplane will be used-in fact
wherever water is not available. Mails
will be SO carried. doubtless over large
stretches of territory. in Texas. Utah,
and New Mexico. Automatic stability Is
all that is needed to make 1t wholly
practical. and / believe We have solved
the problem"
Experiments with the Wright aero
boat, a 5000 product of the Wright
plant, have been made on the Miami
river south of the city, and these have
proved the new Inventions worth in
every respect.
This was Illustrated on the last day
of December. 1913, when Mr.. Wright, be-
fore committee Of the Aero Club Of
America, at Simms Station, near Day.
ton. demonstrated the reliability of the
stabilizer. So complete were the tests
that the committee at once awarded
him the Collier trophy. which goes each
year to the person making the greatest
advance in aeronautics.
In the course OF the demonstration
Wright made several complete circuits
of the aviation grounds with his hands
entirely removed from the controlling
device.

RACE SEGREGATION y
CALLED A DISGRACE
Mrs. La Toilette Cheered at
Meeting of Twelfth Street
Branch of Y. M. C. A.

Race segregation in street cars, Gov
ernment departments, and in other
public places will be a national dis
grace if ever carried into effect, ac-
croding to Mrs. Belle Case La Toilette,
wife of Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin.
Mrs. La Toilette addressed 1000 col
ored people at the Twelfth street
branch of the Y. NJ. C. A. on Sunday
afternoon and her address was re-
peatedly halted by the cheers of her
audience. She was introduced by
Neval Thomas, and at an expression
meeting" afterward Mrs. La Toilette
was thanked by hundreds of people.
II see no reason why we will eat
food prepared by colored cooks, have
them nurse our babies, and live in
intimate relation with them in this
way, and then object to them sitting
beside us in the street cars and work
rooms" she said. IF you own your
own conveyance you can invite whom
you choose to ride with you, but on a
public car and in other public places
all lines of distinction and cast must
be disregarded. and rich and poor,
employer and employe, and white and
black must ride together.
The civil service is q department OF
the Government, and it Is q shame that
a government should put its stamp OF
approval upon such unjust measures
against a struggling people. There are
IL 200 colored civil service employees in
the Government, and they won their
places on their merits. Why should
they be subjected to indignities? This
race, numbering 10000 900, Is without
a representative in Congress"
Albert Shoemaker, in an address on
Saloons in the Districts" said three
fourths of the Police Court cases in
volved colored people and that liquor
was the cause OF most of this trouble.
Mr.. Shoemaker was introduced by Will
liam Knowles Cooper.

Probes Charge of
Disrespect to SoIon

Charges that a desk sergeant at one
of the police stations was disrespect-
full to Senator La Toilette over the
telephone are being investigated by
Major Sylvester. No formal charges
have been preferred against the officer.
and it has not been decided whether he
will be cited to appear before the Trial
Board.
"I have not completed my investiga-
ton" said the major today. 'Of
course, IL an officer were disrespectful
to a Senator or any one else, he would
be properly disciplined.
1t is said the conversation between the
desk sergeant and Senator La Toilette
related to a minor automobile accident,
in which a machine of a make similar
to that used by the Senator colided
with q bicYclist.

Post Gives Address on
Industrial Democracy

Louis F. Post, Assistant Secretary ot
Labor, in an address on Industrial
Democracy" before the Washington Sec.
ular League at Pythian Temple Sunday
afternoon made It clear that his ad-
dress included his personal opinion and
not the opinion, necessarily, of the AS
sistant Secretary of Labor.
Industrial democracy" he said, re
lates to mans physical sustenance and
well being, to his getting a living. and
because of primary and fundamental i'm
portance, the realization of a whole de-
mocracy is dependent upon the proper
attainment of an industrial democracy.
Every man should contribute his la
Dor for the production of the thing he
enjoys, each man should receive in pro-
portion to his contribution and the resi-
dunn of production arising from united,
cooperative effort should be equally di-
vided.''
