F0SHAY DEFENSE LOSES FIGHT AT. START OF TRIAL
Half a Million Dollar Bonus Exhibit Ruled as Per-
 tinent to Case
SUPPORTS ALLEGATION AGAINST 7 DEFENDANTS
Government Charges Mails Were Used for Purposes
 of Defrauding

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. B. Efforts of the defense to have re- jected an exhibit regarding half million dollars bonus voted to the officials of the w. B. Foshay enter prises, failed yesterday afternoon in the Federal Court.
 The Government introduced the exhibit to support allegations that the defendants, who are charged with using the mails to defraud in connection with various enterprises, did not abide by sound business principles.
 Judge J. w. Molyneaux ruled the exhibit was pertinent to the case.
 The defendants with Wilbur B. Foshay are H. H. Henley, R. J. An drus, H. E. McGinty, P. V. Mabry, H. F. Welch and c. w. Salisbury. The case started yesterday as the result of the crash two years ago of the Foshay enterprises. One hundred and forty witnesses have been subpoenaed for the trial.

 INSPEEDEvENT
British Schneider Win Might End Races
 New Mystery Plane

SOUTHAMPTON. Eng. Sept. 3. If a British seaplane wins the Schneider. cup in the speed races to be held in the Solent Septem- Der 12 the races may never be held again.
 The rules governing award of the trophy, the worlds premier speed prize, provide that a nation win ming three out of five successive contests may retain the cup per- manently.
 So great is the cost of prepara- ton for the race in construction of new planes, survey of the course, ana the like that if Britain gains the cup permanently it may not be offered again for competition. Races Cost S2,50O,O00
 This years races, which will be fought out by Great Britain, Italy and France, it is estimated, will cost in the neighborhood of $2,- 500, ,0O0-the trophy is worth only about $1,0O0.
 The tremendous cost, and the extreme hazard to human life, are believed to be the principal req sons for decision of the United States against participation in the 1927 and 1929 contests as well as the one this year.
 This years races are expected to develop the greatest speed at which a human being has ever travelled perhaps seven miles a minute, APO miles an hour
 The present record established at the 1929 Schneider cup race by Flying Officer H. R. D. Waghorn is 328.63 miles per hour.
 British Plane Mystery
 Present interest is centered chief ly about the new British mystery plane, the Supermarine S-6B, built especially for the race, which is expected to reach speed between 400 and 40 miles per hour.
 1t probably will be spiloted by Squadron Leader Irlebar, skipper of the British high speed flight. ;
 An SEA plane, one of the type breaking the record in 1929, crack ed up recently in an accident fatal to Lieut.. G. L. Brinton.
 Large British, French and 1tal- ian high speed flying squads will be trimmed prior to the races tc

MARTIN TELLS
 CHAMBER FAIR
 Is BEST EVER
Exhibits Larger and Enter tainment Better than
 Ever Before

"A bigger and better Southeast Alaska Fair than ever, in every re- spect,' is assured this year, declared R. B. Martin, Manager, in brief talk made today at the weekly meeting of the Chamber of Con- merce, which staged it's annual Southeast Alaska Fair Day. He and Secretary w. s. Pullen of the Fair Association made short talks.
 Other speakers at today's meet ing included: Charles Tulka, "Vag- abond Reporter" of Prague. Czecho- slovakia, Maj. Malcolm Elliott. President of the Alaska Road Commission, J. P. Anderson and Rev. Warren R. Fenn, who will have charge of Holy Trinity Cath edral for several months during the absence of Dean c. E. Rice.
 Exhibits Are Larger
 Larger and more extensive ex- hibits' will characterize the South east Alaska Fair this year, Mana ger Martin told the Chamber. We have agricultural exhibits fully twice as large as ever before, and the other departments are also more comprehensive" he declared. Tt is particularly gratifying to us that we are getting many entries from the southern end of the Di- vision.
 "As in former years, we will use all local entertainers. This section will be under the direction of J. L. Gray"
 As many booths for advertising and commercial purposes have been sold this year as in the past. The management has been somewhat disappointed that local merchants were unable to obtain support from wholesalers and manufacturers in advertising booths, MT. Martin add ed However, only three or four booths remain unsold. A complete program of events will be released for publication either Friday or Saturday.
 Tulka Makes Hit
 Charles Tulka, youthful wayfayer from Prague, kept the Chamber in gales of laughter for almost 20 minutes as he recounted few of his adventures on his world tour which started some three years ago from Prague and on which he has jsurnied some 6l 900 miles. The Spirit of Adventure has guided his footsteps, he admitted, but only keen sense of humor could have kept him going, and it was that sense of the value of humor that makes him a delightful talker. He will be heard in lecture at Elks Hall tomorrow evening.
 With only $30 in his pockets he started out to see the world. He has seen large part of 1t. He made the first stages of his trip
