CLARENDON GUEST
MAKES AIR FLIGHT

Seldom a day passes that one or
more of the numerous guests at Hotel
Clarendon doesn't occupy seat with
Miss Ruth Law in her aeroplane.
Aviation has proven very popular this
season with Clarendon folk, and the
confidence all passengers seem to
have in the little aviator is indeed re-
markable. And it is no more than
right that they should. for in over four
years of actual flying in various cities
throughout the United States, she has
never met with the slightest kind of
an accident. Such a record adds
greatly to the sport and serves to in
crease interest in the game by people
who like to do little something out
of the ordinary.
Yesterday A. McA. Davis, who is a
guest at the Clarendon, made long
flight as passenger of Miss Law. He
was highly pleased with the expert
ence and was loath to leave has seat
after reaching the ground.
Truman Beckwith, Jr., stopping at
the Ridgewood hotel, was also pass
enger of Miss Laws yesterday. The
great height which the aero
plane was made to go when he accom-
panied the aviator was far above the
average, but not any too high for Mr.
Beckwith. Like Mr. Davis, he en-
joyed the flight immensely and was
not backward in showing his extreme
delight.
Several others went up yesterday
afternoon, owing to the fine day, and
all in all, it was quite profitable day
at aviation headquarters

STOP ROCK ISLAND.
Lawrence Commercial Organizations
Would Have Trains Hesitate.

Lawrence commercial organizations
will go before the public utilities com
mission with a request for the stopping
of Rock Island trains a t the state
university town. The application for
an order to compel the stopping Of
Rock Island trains will be filed With
the commission at an early date.
During the recent session of the
legislature, a bill was introduced by
Senator 1. n. Mahin of Smith county
which in effect meant the stopping
of all Rock Island trains at Lawrence.
The bill passed one branch of the
legislature and was later Strangled IN
a committee room. Now the CONNER
cial organizations Of Lawrence Will
take up the fight and Will ask the
utilities commission for an order
which will compel the Rock Island to
stop its ira ms
Under d lease agreement with the
Union Pacific, the Rock Island is not
permitted to stop its trains at any of
the intermediate points between Kan
sas City and Topeka. Recently the
road built a station in Kansas City,
Kan. and has since been receiving
and discharging passengers at this
station. Litigation to prevent the use
of the Kansas City, Kan, station Is
now in the state courts. As a conse-
quence of this situation, it is probable
that the Union Pacific will make Il
fight before the utilities commission
to prevent the issuance of any order
which means the stopping of Rock
Island trains at Lawrence.
