Be Taken Up, Organ
ization Leaders Declare
Today

cials Do Not Make De-
cision Shortly.

the commissioner of a $500 bond
against future violations.

attitude that they want to be square
with the truckmen, but are at loss
to know what TO do. State Secretary
A. p Marsh, Of New Britain, showed
where the issue is one which VitallS
affects all the people of the state.
The executive committee of the as
sociation is meeting this afternoon

days a brief of the law and court de
cisions on the subject, and unless tht

MAYOR NOT SATISFIED
Feels That Municipal Ice Contract
Was Not Handled in a BusincsslilSc
Manner, He Says.

Mayor O. f. Curtis expressed him
self this morning as dissatisfied with
the manner in which the municipal

in the minds Of George Korach's

satisfied them beyond need OF further
proof that he has no 'yellow streak"
A month ago one Of them tauntingly

he has saved another Of his friends
from drowning In the East river.
Korach, who IL twenty-five years old,

They set out from North Fifth street,

it to children as it contains no opium

San Franclsco.-The day OF all
limousines is here.
II you suddenly make up your mind
you want to hop OF for anywhere
within gasolene range, merely call up
your air chauffeur and tell him to have
the Of boat ready.
That is what Mrs. W. A. Keddie,
owner Of a string Of ranches In
Nevada, did the other day when she
decided to fly to Reno.
Mrs. Keddie, who purchased the
plane some time ago, merely called
up her pilot and said. Lets go at two
O'clock" Then she called up her friend,
Mrs. Maize Faux of San Francisco
and asked her to 60 along. Mrs. Faux
accepted pronto.
Great Convenience.
w. w. Williams, formerly Of the
Royal Flying Corps of Canada, who
acts as pilot, had the motor turning
over when the two women, dressed in
flying togs reached the Marina. As
soon as the women had taken their
seats he stepped on the throttle and
the big Standard il plane, with
Curtiss ks motor, was on its way.
Mrs. Keddie, who acts as manager
for her various ranches and calls
Fallon, New, her home, purchased the
machine some time ago to fly between
her various ranches. She found it so
successful that when she found 1t nee
in h1r
she teIegraphed to Fallon for the ma
chine and stayed another day in San
Francisco, finishing up business affairs.
Landing fields have been built at
each ranch and a system of lighting
has been installed so that night land
ings can be made. She has attempted
only few night flights, but she says
she enjoys them quite as much as day
flying.
Mrs. Keddie expects to leave Reno
soon TO make a quick tour Of her prop
critics. Later this summer she expects
TO take vacation-an aerial vacation
in which she expects to fly by easy
stages from San Francisco to New
York.
First on Record.
The trip just made Is the first on
record In which two women flew over
the summit Of the high range between
California and Nevada. Only one
other woman is known to have taken

you know, l could not go by airplane."
