Not an hospital or sanitarium but
rather private retreat where any
who are sick can have all the com
forts and conveniences of their own
home, plus the necessary medical and
nursing attendance and at reasonable
cost A large, spacious building
the most suitable and available In
this city--is being rushed to compile
ton so as to be ready for the pop
ular health official, who already has
some reservations made.
The domestic arrangements and
comforts OF the inmates will be under
the direct supervision of Mrs. Mahr
while competent corps of house
physicians will be on the directorate
In speaking of his new venture, Dr
Mahr said today: There is great
demand for a medical hotel in OK
lahoma. There are plenty of men
and women who would prefer TO &c
to some comfortable place where they
would be free and easy and where
they could recuperate in their OWL
way and without the necessary re
straint of the general hospital or in
stitution where only the most Sc
we're if not critical cases are han
died. expect to cater 10 all o
the harmless whims of the sick anC
the near sick and at the same TINT
provide cheerful environment
which psychologically will contribute
to their expeditions return TO thei
several avocations."

REAR ADMIRAL WINSLOW
HASN'T ASKED TO RETIRE
No Official Representations on Sub
ject Made to Navy Department,
It Is Said.

If Rear Admiral Cameron MGR. Wins
low has grievance and desires to be
transferred to the retired list, as has
been reported, he has made no official
representations on the subject to the
Navy Department. 1t is represented that
Admiral Winslow and his friends are
keenly disappointed over the selection by
Secretary Daniels of Rear Admiral
Frank F. Fletcher as the successor of
Rear Admiral, Charles ]. Badger in COM
mand of the Atlantic fleet. especially as
such action practically prevents Admiral
Winslow from attaining that high COM
mand.
In the ordinary course of events, Ad-
miral Winsow will retire for age in
July, 1916 and the proba bilties are that
Admiral Fletcher's detail will extend
nearly to that time. Although Admiral
years to come, he already is eligible for
retirement, at the discretion of the Presi-
dent, under the forty-years' service
clause of the retirement law.
1t has been rumored that Admiral
Winslow would apply for retirement I'M
der that provision of the law, but 1t is
said at the Navy Department that no
official notification to that effect has been
received. Admiral Winslow Is now in
command of a special service squadron
in Mexican waters. Whether he shall re-
main there or return to his former sta
ton at the Naval War College it is said,
will depend on developments in the Next
can situation.

AERO CAPERS OVER GOTHAM
MAY BRING Filler TROUBLE
Charles F. Niles by Daring
"Stunts'' Arouses Aviation
Organization.

NEW YORK, June 4.-As the result of
spectacular aeroplane flight over lower
Manhattan Island and the waters of the
upper harbor late yesterday, Charles F.
Niles is likely to have to answer to the
officials of the Areo Club of America
Niles had announced he would loop
the loop and perform other aerial tricks
over the harbor and rivers and kept his
promise before the eyes Of thousands of
persons who stared upward from down
town streets or craned their necks out
of skyscraper windows. In one circling
sweep during his gyrations, however, he
crossed over the lower end Of Manhattan
Island. shooting past the towering build
ings near City Hall Park and down over
the Wall street section. 1t was while
he was directly over lower Broadway
that Niles dived and circled up again into
loop and further down performed what
he calls the back flop" apparently COM
ing near losing control of his monoplane
in doing this. but successfully righting
himself and shooting out over the bay
again.
bids flights over the city, and Alan R.
Hawley. president of the club, said last
night that Niles flight probably would
be called to the attention of the or
ganization's contest committee within two
or three days.
"We have got to take measures that
will preclude the possibility OF accident"
said Hawley.

MANY LEGISLATIVE BILL
ITEMS ARE IN DISPUTE
House Disagreement Expected to Re-
open Row Over Congressional
Mileage Rates.

The House conference committee on the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill filed its report in the
House late yesterday, showing a dis
agreement on some Of the most i'm
portant items of the bill, which will
probably produce a long discussion when
the conference report is taken UP for
a vote. The old row as to the milea se
Of senators and representatives will be
reopened by the refusal Of the House
conferees to accept the Senate amend
ment to the House bill, placing the
mileage at % cents a mile, where It has
always been. The House had voted to
pay actual expenses only.
The House refuses to accept the Sem
ate amendments to purchase automobiles
for the use of the Speaker and the Vice
President; to appropriate half a million
dollars more for the use of the Treasury
In collecting the income tax: the amend.
ment providing for an additional assist

The House conferees also report q dis
agreement over the amendment for
$1,000 for the use of proposed COM

FLIGHT ACROSS OCEAN
STARTS ABOUT JULY IS
Big Machine Is to Be Subjected to
Further Severe
Tests.

HAMMoNDsPoRT, n. r. June a.
The nrst successful trials Of the Amer
lea, tho aircraft in which Lieut.. John
c. Porte and George e. A. Hallet plan
to fly across the Atlantic ocean from
Newfoundland to England. are to be
followed by a series Of severe tests be-
ginning today. The aeroplane will be
shipped to St. Johns early next month
After being reassembled at St. Johns
another series Of tests Is to be made
and the two pilots plan to start on their
perilous air voyage on or about July Is.
Lieut. Porte today planned to make
weight-carrying tests Of the America,
and he will probably attempt an alti-
tude fight. A distance fight also may
be tried.
That the America fulfilled his every
hope and made him more certain than
ever that transatlantic flight was to
be realized was the opinion expressed
by Lieut. Porte after the trials yester-
day. He said that the craft was as
easily controlled as the ordinary flying
boat.
Several trial flights showed the ma
chine ftes fast, is well balanced and is
handled almost as easily as flying
boa. of less than half Of it's size and
weight.
Flights were made by Glenn H. Cur
tiss. Lieut.. John c. Porte and George
Hallett. all Of whom expressed them
selves as well pleased with the craft
behavior. The pilots were even more
enthusiastic over the performance of
the machine than was the designer, Mr..
Curtiss.
so far as the trials went, the boat
did what he expected 1t to do" said
Mr.. Curtiss. Our big problem. how
ever. lies in raising another fifteen hun
dred pounds from the water When we
have done that I shall be glad to en-
thuse. Today's trials give me reason
to hope that We have made no mistake
in our calculations"
Experts who witnessed the flights
expressed surprise at the ease with
which Lieut.. Porte handled the big fly-
ing boat. They had expected the ma
chine would prove cumbersome.
