AERO CLUB SPLITS
AS ELECTION NEARS
Roy Conger, Who Wars on
Henry A. Wise Wood, APP
peals to the Courts.

The Aero Club OF America is split into
two factions over the annual election of
officers to be held November IL. Roy
U. Conger, an active member OF the or
ganization. applied yesterday to Justice
Newburger for a writ Of mandamus re-
quiring the present officers to furnish to
him list Of the names and addresses OF
all members OF the club. He said that
unless he got the desired data he would
be unable to get the necessary proxies
to outvote the present regime OF officers
and governors. Argument will be heard
this morning.
The trouble in the Aero Club, accord
ing to Mr.. Conger, started at the last
annual banquet of the club when its
vice-president. Henry A. Wise Wood. in
an introduction of James w. Gerard, is
said to have belittled the guest of
honor's administrative associates. At
tached to Mr.. Conger's affidavit Is a let
ter written after the affair to Allan r.
Hawley. president OF the club. II fol-
lows:
"Mr Wise Woods Introduction was
not merely an evidence Of a complete
lack of tact, but as l see II was insult
ing TO the guest OF honor.
Mr.. Wood stated at this dinner that
Secretary Lansing. Secretary Baker and
Secretary Daniels should all be kicked
out Of the Cabinet Now. this is Mr..
Woods opinion. but his right to ex-
press this opinion at that dinner is
certainly open to question. He had no
right to commit the club to this view"
The regular nominees for president
and vice-presidents are Allan r. Haw-
ley and Henry 4. Wise Wood. Godfrey
A. Cabot. Rear Admiral Bradley A.
Fiske and Charles Jerome Edwards
The opposition ticket is headed by How
ard f. Coffin. The vice-presidential
candidates thereon are CORTLAND Field
Bishop, Laurence La T. Briggs. Chance
NJ. Vought and Harold Talbot.
The opposing tickets both contain the
| names of Allan A. Ryan and Lieut.
Col. James A. Blair for long term gov
ernors and that OF Lieut-Col. Charles
Elliott Warren for treasurer. On both
lists OF candidates are eight OF the
short term governors, including Major
Max c. Fleischman, Major Albert
n. Lambert. Henry r. JOY. Lieut.
Godfrey L. Cabot, John Hays Hammond
! George NJ. Meyers. Albert Sautos-Du-
mont and Brig. Gen. Robert X. Evans.

WHAT'S H usE1

He saved his money years and years-
Laid by a tidy sum;
IT was his boast he had no fears
OF dining on a crumb.
Some future day he'd start to spend
And go a lively gait;
His toilsome thrift would have an end
He was content to walt.
At last, he cried. I'm ready now
To lead a life of ease;
I'll have a fling and keep my VOW
Myself alone to pleased"
But scarcely had he pressed the cup
OF pleasure to his lips
No chance he had to tilt 1t up,
He barely got two sips
When Fate set cut to prove once more
That she can be unkind,
And hung some Grape beside his door
He left his pelf behind.

There is a choice this season in the
line of the silhouette. We may dis
avow curves entirely and wear a coat
or dress that is straight from neck to
hem, or go to the other extreme and
choose a bodice or coat that is fitted
in to the figure closely, oil stop any
where between these. Half way be-
tween seems to be the happy medium
that is most generally becoming. But
the possessor of a very good figure
may go even farther than the semift-
ted coat with fine effect as is attested
by the coat suit which reflects this
place of the style as shown in the pic
ture above.
This braid and button trimmed suit
Of serge sets snugly to the body above
the waist where the lines Of the coat
flow out into ripples at the back and
sides, but are almost straight at the

braid, stitched across the sides and
back of the coat, end in q row of small
bone buttons at each side. This Is a

DEVELOPMENT in Mininq in Malay.

Mining engineers, who have recently
visited the southern Siamese Malay
states, have come to the conclusion
that one of the richest mineral areas
I'm the world is to be found here. In
addition to wolfram, rich deposits of
tin alluvium are found in the valleys
and gullies of all the hills in which
wolfram has been located. In most
of the hills the number of wolfram
iOdes already located exceeds ten, and
In all of them tin has also been found.
Plenty of water with sufficient head
is said to be available for washing
out the tin in the rainy season, and
there are possibilities for storing wa
ter In reservoirs for the dry season.
There is a waterfall close by with
sufficient head TO develop electric pow
er for working a large number of
mines. In northern Siam mining areas
adjoining the new railway extension
have been opened, and here anthony
and lead are the mineral worked for,
the lead being mixed with zinc and
containing some silver.-Commercial
