8 'AVIATION WEEK' EVENTS OUTLINED REGULAR PROGRAM CANNOT BE MADE ACCURATELY PAULHAN WILL TRY TO BREAK WORLDS RECORD Each Day in Week Will Be Devoted to Some Particular City, State or Other Conspicu ous Thing Although it Is absolutely Impossible to arrange a program for Aviation week, as it might be laid out for a horse or automobile race meeting, the aviation committee of the Merchants and Manufacturers' association hjs, In a general way, laid out a schedule of f>vonts for the various contests of the air kings. As soon as Louis Paulhan and his manager. Edward deary, ar rive in Los Angeles, tomorrow, the exact details of the program will be laid out. As now outlined, Monday next will be Aviation day, and Tuesday Los Angeles day. Every balloon, aeroplane and dirigible will have to make some sort of a flight or ascent on these two days, in order to qualify for the meet. Those who fail to go up in the air Mon day and Tuesday will be burred from the contest for all time. If conditions are proper. Louis Paul han. the world-famous French aviator, the greatest daredevil man-bird of | them all. will attempt to break his own high flight record, made last month at Chalons, France, of 1900 feet. The marvelous flight at Chalons was made by Paulhan in a Farman bi plane, and the Identical machine in I ■which It was made will be used by | him In Los Angeles. This machine ■will be in Los Angeles Saturday. First Racing Tuesday Tuesday will be Los Angeles day. The first actual racing In America be tween heavier-than-air machines prob ably will be seen on that day. A speed contest between Glenn H. Cur tiss, the American aviator, and Paul han, the Frenchman, will be held if conditions are right. Paulhan. in his speed contests, will use a Bleriot ma chine having a fifty-horsepower motor. Curtiss will use a machine of his own construction, equipped with an engine of about fifty-horsepower. More than fifty miles an hour is expected out 01 both of these machines, and it is more than probable that the mile a-minute mark will be beaten. Wednesday is named as San Diego day. Two San Diego men have en tered machines of their own construc tion in the events, and these will be gi-"en their first tests on the Held on this day. There also will be a con tinuation of the flights of Paulhan and Curtiss, and flights by Willard, Mas son, Miscarol and others. ..^asson and Miscarol, who are mem-, bers of the French aviation syndicate which received $50,000 outright for the appearance of its members at the Los Angeles meet, will use machines of , the barman and Bleriot types. Mas se i brought with him from France a Bleriot machine of the cross-channel type, and Miscarol has two Farman machines and pne Bleriot. The syn dicate brouglyt' also one of the Santos- Dumont mafcihlnes, a tiny affair, but !-fIS) to bAve wonderful possibilities, frian "Otego will send a delegation of 5000 persons to watch the nignts. Thursday Is Pasadena Day Thursday will be "Pasadena day," and one at the distance races will then be held. Friday is designated as "Southern California day" and Saturday as "San ; Francisco day." From San Frnc.sco ' several machines, both of the dhigible and tha heavier-than-air. types, are en tered, and these will have full oppor tunity to demonstrate their possibil ities. "Free Harbor day" is to be' Mondaj'. . and it ahs been planned to atti-mpt atjj San Pedro a spectacular "stunt," I something that has never before bean! attempted anywhere, the nearest ap-i proach to it being the flight of Beriotj' across the English channel. United i States warships in the harbor will be! maneuvered close to the government ' breakwater at night, and airships will ' be sent fran the bluffs at Point Firmiti, out over the water in an attempt to demonstrate what, might be accom plished in time of war. The United States government dirig ible balloon, piloted by Captain Bald-j win. Its builder, will be in Los Angeles- 1 at this time. Captain Baldwin will make the flight In this machine. Roy Knabenshue will pilot one of his rac ing dirigibles in this unique test, anj Lincoln Beaehey also will attempt the flight.

HOTEL RESERVATIONS INDICATE LARGE CROWD Requests for Rooms Show That Vis. itors for Aviation Week Expect Others to Be Here From the way in which reservations for rooms during Aviation week have been received by tlie hotels of Los Angeles it is evident that the city will lie tilled to overflowing with people who will journey from all points of the country to witness the first aerial meet ever held in America. Weeks ago tlie hotels started to re ceive reservation! for rooms, and from that time they have been coming In until nearly all the hotels are already filled for the week. The requests instead of reading, "Will you reserve me a room?" or "Reserve me a room." read, "Can you reserve me a room?" This indicates that everybody expects everybody else to be here for the week. Tourists who are stopping here on their way to other points have made arrangements to stop over here ex pressly for next week to witnes* the big aerial events.

' AERO CONVENTION CALLED BY BISHOP Activity in Los Angeles Stirs Na. tional President Up to Call a Special Meeting NEW YORK, Jan. fi.-The first na tional convention of the American Aero club is to be held in St. Louis late 111 January according to an announce meTmacle here today. The meeting will be in charge of C°rtlandt *. Bishop, who will present to the deie gate. a new constitution and by-laws, and will outline the general plan _ for a new federation. The Aero Club Ot America will remain tlie head of tin. American clubs, and the VTOPOWI federation will be similar to the na tional groups of aero clubs now exist ing in Kuropean countries. "There lias been remarkable growth among aero clubs in the west recent ly" said Mr. Bishop, who leaves toe .iy to'attend the Los Ang.Ks aviation meeting. .. "The interest in aeronautics on the. Pacific coast and in the middle west is now quite, as keen us in the east. The proposed federation has a large and growing field for its activities, and should be a grout assistance to the cause of aviation." CITIZENS CALLED ON TO DONATE AVIATION FUNDS Mayor Alexander Makes Statement That Money Is Needed to Make Big Affair a Success In a statement made yesterday Mayor George Alexander called upon all citizens of Los Angeles to contrib ute to the Aviation week fund In order to assure the success of the meeting and to prevent the entire world mak ing Los Angeles the laughing stock of thf day The committee still needs a arge amount of money and must have quick responses in order to cdrry the Aviation week to a successful con cern Following is the statement made by Mayor Alexander: "The big aviation meeting is one of everyone ■hOUld take " ur""1, m'.n £rfU^ourse nit"takL Prn^mu?h monevto finance such a great under- Swng! and there are several reasons why the citizens of Los Angeles should contribute liberally to the cause, one of the most important, I might say. is that the aviation project has been launched and it is the duty of every citizen to make it a '••'* Angeles suc cess, lust as every undertaking in tne past has been a success. "I hope there will be a liberal re sponse by all persons in the city to the reauest of the committee which lias been striving so faithfully to bring the greatest aviators of the world here. They deserve popular support in a financial way to bring the meet to a successful termination. "The event will advertise the city to the extent of thousands of dollars and those mho contribute a .sum will assist in a very worthy cause. I understand the money is not to be given, but merely pledged; that the receipts froth the meet are expected to pay the ex pensets that the committee fools confident they will be able to pay back that which is subscribed. Let us then combine our strength and make the meet such a success that the whole world will resound with the name of Los Angeles and the part it played in the conquering of the air." NO INJUNCTION t BARS CURTISS (Continue.) from •■«*<■ O«»> ' eiiy. Tho Los Angeles Gas and Electric corporation has BgT( cd to furnish pressure enough s'> that 200,000 cubic feet of gas may be taken from the main every hour. The gas will bo of the best kind, and will do much to I make the aviation events, so far as the balloons and dirigibles are concerned, a success. New subscriptions were received from the following hotels yesterday: Alex andria, $500; Lankershim, $200; Van Nuys, $^00, and Hollenbeck, $200. Oth er subscriptions totaling $I^so wore aiso received.
