DIRECTOR GENERAL
HINES TO CONFER
ON RIVER RATES
Meeting Today in Washing
ton to Be Attended by Nc,
Wane, Wood and Con-
gressional Delegation

James r. Mcwane, chairman of the
Warrior river development committee.
and Charles r Wood, special engineer
of the committee, will attend confer
ence between walker d. Hines, direc-
tor general of the railroads, and the
Alabama delegation in congress this
morning at 10 o'clock regarding the
through rail and water rate, according
to advices received from The Age-Her-
aid correspondent In Washington last
night.
The Alabama delegation is making
every effort to secure the through rail
and water rate, which is 20 per cent
less than the regular rail rate, while
the government has control of both
rail and water transportation, for after
the railroads are returned to private
ownership, 1t is pointed out that it will
be a long hard fight to get this rate
through the various railroads.
According to reports coming from
Washington the railroad administra-
ton will probably turn the railroads
back to private interests by January J.
1920, and the local committee as well
as a number ofsprominent business men
and shippers are making every effort
to secure the issuance of authority for
these joint rates between a wide out
side territory and northern Alabama,
northwestern Georgia and southern
Tennessee points via the Warrior river
through the port of Birmingham.

LIEUT.. LOCKLEAR WORLDS
PREMIER AIR THRILLER
HAS REMARKABLE RECORD

The advent of a quartet of European
fliers in Fort Worth, Tex, on a CONT
mental tour in 1910. gave Omer Locklear
worlds premier air thriller. who will
change from one plane to another and do
all sorts of aerial caiisthenics at the
Alabama State Fair, starting Monday,
October 6. his first real insight into the
science of aviation.
First he built himself a glider-an air
plane with wings and no motor. By at
taching this to the rear of an automobile
and looming across the Texas prairies.
LockIear scared the glider as high as l5O
feet and achieved new thrills. Then ne
Juilt an airplane of his own, but was
outta luck 1t wouldn't leave the
ground.
The thrill seekers next step was to
purchase a real honest-to- goodness Be-
host airplane, and through this source
got some of the thrills he sought With
out receiving Instructions from any pilot.
Locklear mastered the science of AVA
lion by his own sheer grit and determi-
10 ton and soon was an accomplished
flier.
The world war brought forth new
achievements in aviation and Locklear
vas right in the swim. He offered his
services and his airpiane to the United
states government. The government es-
.ablished flying field at Fort Worth,
called Barron field, and Lockiear was
made an instructor in flying. He re-
rained at this dangerous task through
out the war and moulded many of the
thousands of fliers in the United States
air service.
While nstructing a cadet in flying at
Barron field Locklear left the pilot 8

IN balancing the ship while Locklea,

Then one day Locklear bet one OF his
fellow filters that he could get out and
ride on the axle of the landing gear.
They laughed at him: he did it. Then
he bet he could stand up on the upper
