(Contlnned fr.itn Pirn One)
In 118.3 feet. In four laps* of the course
Paulhan's best timo for a single cir

timo of 2:12.
ftoachy and Knabenshue brought out
their dirigibles late in the day. Tiny
Balled around in the air. but could
make little progress against the Sigh
wind, and finally came to earth. It
was almost impossible fur either of the
aviators to buck the wind. When the
breeze was at their backs they went
sailing along merrily. They were abl»
to turn their dirigibles easily, and the
big bags rocked and swayed in such a
manner that flight was dangerous, bo
they gave up and took the machines
to the dirigible tents.
Hamilton and Pauhan once tried
a wind-bucking contest. The currents
were so strong they both wero driven
out of their course and had to land
back of the grandstand.
Willard made two short flights, but
finding the wind not to his liking put
his machine in the hangar for the day.
.1 ist as the crowd was leaving the
gri md, Paulhan in his Irrepressible
manner shot Into the air carrying
two passengers. He swirled around
the course once and came to the
ground at the northeast end of the
field. It was nearly dark and the wind
was high. The exhibition was one of
daring and frenzied the crowd with de
light.
Hardly had Paulhan discharged his
passengers and leaped to the ground
than Clifford B. Harmon, the New,
York millionaire, strolled up to the
Parman biplane with a party of fr'- -ids,
among whom was Mme. Paulha In
French Paulhan invited Harmon for
;i spin through the air. Harmon re
versed his cap, placed a pair of spec
tacles on his nose and Jumped aboard
[or an aerial joy-ride. Pauhan and
Harmon spun through the tir for a
mile or more and same t% earth right
in front of the hngar, while the
crowd was rapidly wending its way
home. >
Kenneth '. "ayson, son of the general
agent of the traffic; department of the
Santa Fe railroad in San Diego, made
A,viator Paulhan a novel present yes
terday. The gift was a silk handker
chief upon which was ombroderied the
seal of the San Diego Panama-Califor
nia exposition in 1915. Paulhan re
c ivel the gift with thanks and added
he hoped to be in San iDego in five
years with all the improvements in
airships that many years will mean.
Young Payson made the presentation
speech In French of which he is a
fluent speaker.

HUSBAND DECLARES WIFE
WAS "TALKED TO DEATH"
CARLYLE, 111., Jan. 16.—This country
is entitled to a place in the freak tomb
stone hall of fame of the country. A
modest stone slab marks tlio grave in
the Prichett cemetery, in tlic northeast
part of the county, which conveys the
information that the person burled
there was "talked to death by friends."
The wife of Thomas Phillips, who
lived in that community years ago, was,
it is understood, not an expert house
keeper. Neighbor women insisted upon
advising her as to her domestic duties,
adding little pointers on how she should
treat her husband.
This was not appreciated by her hus
band. When she died he declared that
those unsought little lectures had much
to do with her death, hence the Inscrip
tion on the stone that marks her grave.
ROCKEFELLER NURSE DIES
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 16.—Miss
Eleanor Williams, once a nurse in the
home of John D. Rockefeller, and in
that of his brother-in-law, W. ('. Rudd,
died last night. She was 100 years
old. Eighty years ago, when Cleve
land was a malaria-stricken village on
the bank of a stagnant creek, she be
gun to nurse the children of settlers.
A quarter of a century ago she was
sent for by Rockefeller to nursfi one of
his children. The affertion of the peo
ple in the old Euclid avenue home
which she gained then slie never lost.

Six-Year-Old Boy Cries,
'My Mamma Will Worry'
VTTIIKX the human tide was on the
yV ebb at Dominguei Utst night and
' • the waV6 BWept down across the
greensward in an Irresistible swirl, a
bit of tin' flotsam that was eddied Into
a protected corner attracted the atten
tion of a portion of those on the out
going sea.
A little upturned face, tear-stained
and pleading. A little throat choking
back sobs that kept rising despite
bravest efforts at repression.
"I am lost. Mamma was right over
there, and now I can't find her and she
will be afraid." This with an in
definite gesture.
A whirr of beatinS wings back over
the frowning black cliffs and a hoarse
roar from fen thousand throats arose
like the "crash of seas on a storm
beaten sitore.
"She'll worry 'cause I am lost." Tl> ■ •
was the sorrow. Peering into faces
that flowed past in an endless stream)
the wee lad turned away in despair.
"I am Kenneth Whlpple and 1 let go
of mamma's hand and they pushed me
away, anil now she'll feel so bad."
Then thi> tears pushed through.
At the police station near the en
trance to Aviation park the little 6-'
year-old lad stood sturdily before the,
desk where a Herald man had taken:
him.
"Kenneth Clark Whlpple, and I live
at 9. r>l East Forty-third street. And I!
am lost." Seeing the satisfaction caused
by this information the little chap's,
face brightened, and he added:
"And 1 go to the McKtnley Street;
school. My teacher she is Miss Stahl.i
and we like her. She Is a good teacher,
but she fell off her horse one time."
AUTO DAY AT
AVIATION PARK
MANY MACHINES TACKLE ROAD
TO DOMINGUEZ
DEMAND FOR CHAINS IS TAX ON
SUPPLY
Slippery Roads Fail to Inconvenience
Cars and New Location of
Parking Ground Proves
Advantageous
It was automobile day asain.at Avia
tion park yeßterday. Hundreds of ma
chines were on the road when the
shower came up at 12:30 and hundreds
more followed, so during the next
three hours a steady stream of ma
chines flowed over the slippery road
to Dominguez.
"It's a good day for the chain busi
ness," said a dealer in auto supplies, as
he filled the wants of a customer who
had discovered the need of a set of
non-Bkidders. "This is the twenty
fourth pair T have sold within the past
hour and a half, and from the way
they are coming the score will run
over fifty for the day."
The roads were slippery, and a good
pair of chains were .almost indispen
sable. Despite the sloppy condition of
the surface of the highway, compara
tively few machines experienced se
rious troubles. None Of them seemed
to require assistance, even on the field.
One reason for this, however, was that
the drivers parked on the northeast
ern corner of the inclosure. They pre
ferred to walk over to their boxes in
the grandstand than to take chances
on the hills and the plank road. One
result of this was the quick clearing
of the field when the automobilists
started homo In the gloaming. The
drive homeward in the dull moonlight
\\;is for most persons much more
pleasant than the drive back in the
drizzle. The roads were much more
solid on the return. Drivers of ma
chines are beginning to realiza'that
they might have been much woYse off
in the selection of localities for the
aviation tourney.
If there are no more showers the
road today should be in fair shape, but
chains will be necessary for a couple
of days.

The latter sentence was uttered with

added:

CQA/ERT ACT SEEN IN ORDER
FORBIDDING FIGHTING
GREYTOWN ONLY BRITISH IN.
TEREST IN NICARAGUA
Insurgents Puzzled to Know How to
Defeat Government Troops Un.
less They Are Driven Out
of Besieged Town
[Associated Press]
BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, via New
Orleans, Jan. 16.—The official declara
tion of Captain Theisiger Of the British
warship Scylla, stationed in Nicaraguan
waters, that there shall be no fighting
at Greytown, is still regarded by the
resident Americans as a move not as
innocent as it appears on the surface.
Many declare that it looks like'a covert
slap at the United States.
while a similar order with reference
to Blueflelda before the battle of Itecreo
was given by Captain Shiplev of the
Dea Molnes, it is pointed out that the
situations were not parallel. There
were no troops within sixty miles of
Blueflelds, and Shipley's mandate oc
casioned no embarrassment. Govern
ment troops are at Greytown, and just
how Captain Alatuty is to defeat them
unless Captain Thesiger compels them
to im>ve outside the town would put
him in the position of Imposing armed
intervention, is puzzling the Estrada
government.
Greytown is the sole British legacy
remaining from the Mosquito coast.
All the town has fallen into decay.
Such property as' there is is owned by
British subjects, many of them negroes
from Jamaica. Notwithstanding this,
the United States recognized the block
ade which Estrada declared against
Greytown.
British Consul Friendly to Zelaya
British Consul Blngham of Qreytown
generally is reported to have been in
terested in certain enterprises with
Zelaya. It is said that he requested a
warship be sent to that port on the
outbreak of the insurrection. The ap
pearance of the Bcylla followed.
The order, of Captain Thesiger that
there should he no combat in Greytown
stated that there is open ground beyond
the town where the battle may be
waged with justice to both sides and
safety to non-combatants."
("apt. Thesiger requested Capt. Ship
ley to attach his signature to the non
combat order. Capt. Shipley is said
to have forwarded the request to the
navy department for instructions, and
as his name was not signed it is be
lieved the American captain was told
to have nothing to do with the order.
Meanwhile Cunt. Niblick had been
dispatched to Qreytown with the Ta
coma. ostensibly for provisions, but in
reality to care for wounded in the an
ticipated battle.
Americans believe here that Capt.
Theaiger'a order furnishes a further
reason for the presence of the Tacoma.
Capt, Niblick is in position to keep a
watchful eve on the Scylla and to
carry out Immediately orders that
might emanate from Washington as a
result of Thesiirer's attitude.
If ('apt. Thesiger's order stands it
is probable that Matuty, with a force
of 1000 men, will proceed by land to a
point un the river in the rear of the
town and camp there, leaving a ship
off the harbor. By this combination
he believes he can cut off the town's
food supply.
"If they won't come out to fight, let
them starve," is Matuty's succinct ex
planation of plans.

three days of terrible hardship and
suffering, and had despaired of esi ap- ,
ing death in tin' ocean when tin Fair

The first news of them came from
the steamer's signal Hags as Bhe
steered in through the Golden Gate,
First Mate Chria Ericksen of the
San Buenaventura was Beverely in
jured on Wednesday afternoon when
the cargo of lumber shifted. Three of
his ribs were fractured, ami it is
probable that he is Internally injured.
.1. Cosscovey, a seaman, sustained an
injury of the ri^ht hand. These were
the only casualties.
Rescuers Brave Seas
When the Fairhaven sighted tne dis
abled San Buenaventura Captain
Paulsen sent Second Mate Johian
Blvertsen and four men to the rescue
in a lifeboat. After an exciting bat
tle with the heavy Beaa tlie small boat
reached the Hide Of the San Buena
ventura. Mrs. Rappmundt, the baby
and the Rappmundt boy were taken
into the lifeboat. .Then Male Erlck
sen was lifted over the side. One by
.me the members Of the crew, nearly
exhausted after their many hours at
the pumps, deserted the wrecked
coaster.
Bui Captain Rappmundt refused to
leave the ship.
"She'll stay afloat for a week yet,
and I'll stay' with her," he shouted to
his men. -
The.' pleaded with him in vain, and
it- was not until Mrs. Rappmundt
threatened to leap into the sea with
the baby in her arms that the ships
master finally yielded.
The San Buenaventura swung away
in the swash of the sea and-was lost in
tlie darkness, a derelict.
The schooner left Eureka at 10 o cIOCK
Wednesday morning for Altata, Mexico,
with a cargo of redwood and pine lum
ber much Of it stowed on deck. The
har' was breaking high as she passed
out of Humboldt bay and headed for
the sea. Twenty miles off shore she
encountered a gale, and early in the
afternoon was hove-to, and her main
sail double-reefed.
Lose Mainsail
As the afternoon wore on the storm
Increased in fury, and before nightfall
the mainsail had been earrled away.
During the night she sprung a leak,
and by midnight three feet of water
stood In the hold. The men were set
to the pumps. From then Oil until the
rescue they never left them.
Thursday the schooner was buffeted
around like a cork. She was beyond
control, and her seams threatened to
□pen. Capt. Rappmundt ordered the
deckload lashings cut. This was done,
and the cargo above deck was washed
away In the sea. Then the boom went
by the board.
All this time the San Buenaventura
was driving before a southwest hurri
cane. She was constantly awash, and
was rapidly being driven toward the
Oregon coast.
Thursday night the men asked rapt.
Rappmundt to give his attention to the
woman and child, and all night long the
two parents and the little one sat
huddled on the afterdeek. The captain
and his wife were waist deep i.i water.
On Friday Capt. Rappmundt took his
bearings and determined that he was
off thi> coast near Coos Hay. Late that
afternoon while the schooner wallowed
decks under, twenty miles north of the
northwest seal rocks, tlie Fairhaven,
bound from Port Gamble for San Fran
cises, hove in sight.
The crew of the San Buenaventura
are F. W. Beecher, J. Anderson, J.
Cosscovey, Gus Malerdaers and A.

LOS ANGELES DECIDES
TO KEEP HANDS Off
"Los Angeles w ill keep hands off. '
San Francisco and San Diego must
settle their difficulties between them- i
selves. I.os Angeles doesn't even want
to see the papers and documents that
San Francisco has brought down here
in an endeavor to prove that they were
first on the ground as a claimant for
the Panama Canal exposition in 1915." ,
This, in short, was the decision li ind
ed out to the San Francisco delegates
by twelve directors of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce at an emergency
meeting held at the chamber board ,
i room yesterday morning.
The meeting was called by President
Willis 11. Booth at the request of M,
H. De Young, James .Mi .Nab and c. C.
Moore, who are here representing San
Francisco, and was conve l at lo
o'clock yesterday morning behind
closed doors. The directors Of the!
chamber of commerce present were i
Presldent-eleci Joseph Scott, President
Willis 11. Booth, former President
George 11. Stewart. William D. Stevens,
George E. Blttinger, ,J. V. Vickers,
Henry T. Lee, H. Z. Osborne, Louis M.
Cole. Arthur W. Kmney, F. Q. Story, ■
Carl E. McStay and Secretary Frank!
Wiggins. The story of the meeting '
was outlined by President-elect Jo
seph Scott last night as follows:
"The meeting, which was a hurry
call, was addressed by .Messrs. James
McMab C. C. Moo and M. H. De
Young, representing San Francisco.
Bach of them made' speeches in the
endeavor to show that San Francisco
had started the movement for an ex-
position at the time of tile opening of
the Panama canal as long ago aa 1904,
Icing before San Dieso had thought
of it.
They told us that tlie Indorsement or
our chamber .of commerce was being
used to strengthen the San Diego
cause and urged us to reconsider our
action. In addition to tlie argument
as to San Frinclsco being first in the
race, Mr. De Yaung argued that San
Diego was not able to make a financial
success of the proposed exposition,
owing to the limited population it had
to draw from, and that it couldn't get
the government to back it and that,
without the backing of the govern
ment, the, expostion could not be made
an internation affair.
"For Los Angeles, talks were made |
by Messrs. Booth, Stevens, (>sborne, I
McStay and myself. The burden of [
our song was that San Diego and I
San Francis, ii should settle their dif
ferences, if possible, among them
selves. We told the San Francisco men
that Los Angeles didn't want the ex
position. We admitted that we real
ized that there was some force in the
argument that there was not enough
for two expositions at the same time.
We knew that a conference between
the San IDtgO and San Francisco com
mittees was to be held at noon and we
expressed our hope that this confer
ence would result amicably.
"The suggestion made that the docu
ments in relation to which city had
the first plan for such an exposition
he referred to a committee failed of a
second. The meeting adjourned and i
that's all."
ARAB NATIONS SEIZE
CONVENTS IN JERUSALEM
Long Standing Quarrel Over Church
Funds Results in Eviction of
Monks and Nuns
JERUSALEM, Jan. 16.—Having be
come impatient of the delay in the ful
fillment of the promises made by the j
Turkish commission and tin Greek or
thodox synod the Arab natives of Je
rusalem recently raided nine convents.
in the city, evicted the monks and
nuns dwelling therein and occupied
the buildings with their wives and
children. The troops arrived in time
to prevent them from entering the
tenth and largest of the convents.
ThiK .'id ion by the natives Is due to
;i long-standing quarrel with the <ii k
ecclesiastics, who will not recognise
the right of the natives to any share
In the administration of the church
funds, amounting to many thousands
sterling annually. Though the govern
ment threatened to proclaim martial
law in the city in case of any disturb
ance the natives have so far been al
lowed to remain in occupation of the
convents.

DEATHS IN TRANSVAAL
MINES ARE INCREASING
Sum Estimated at $,250,033 Paid Out
as Compensation During last
Ten Years,
JOHXNESBURO, Jan. 16.—Acci
dents in the Transvaal mines appear
to be on the increase. In 11107-8 a total
of 2022 men were killed or injured, and
in 1908-9 as many as 24kh employee
were involved in accidents, 1061 losing
their lives. During the last five years
over 10,000 men have been killed or In
capacitated.
These accidents, it is calculated, have
iost the mine owners something "ke
$1,250,000 in compensation, and they
have placed the Transvaal in the un
enviable position of having the un
safest mines in the world.
Allowance must, of oourse, l« made
tor the fact that the vast mass of
the laborers employed are unskilled
and untutored, I :t nevertheless it is
remarkable that approximately 40 per
cent of the accident! are attributable
to carelessness and Ignorance,
It is officially lUted that nearly a
thousand (if this year's casualties were
due to preventable causes. With the
view of remedying this state of af
fairs, the instruction of the workmen,
black as,' well as white, regarding the
risks and dangers inherent in mining
operations is being strongly urged on
the responsible authorities. •;.;,>■
