DEFY BLUE LAWS
Baltimore Aviation Meet Resumes
Contest Sunday Despite
Arrest of Officials
LATHAM GIVES EXHIBITION
Drexel Pierces Clouds—Police In
terference Reduces the
Attendance
(Associated Press)
BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.—The Balti
more aviation meet, interrupted by the
storm of Thursday, which wrecked
hangars and damaged several aero
planes, was resumed this afternoon.
But the troubles of the promoters were
not at an end.
Many excursionists came from dif
ferent points, and, knowing they would
be here, the officials determined to re
sume the program today, notwith
standing that the commissioners of
Baltimore county had declared last
night that they would not permit it.
The possibility of police interference
reduced tho attendance. However, the
county police contented themselves
•with arresting several ticket sellers and
other officials, who were taken before
a Justice of the peace and released
under bail.
The county commissioners are said
to have acted under a very old "blue
law."
The aviators had not made as good
progress as was anticipated in repair
ing their aeroplanes, and there were no
formal contests this afternoon. Hu
bert Latham made three exhibition
flights, one for altitude, in which he
scored 2100 feet.
J. Armstrong Drexel reached the field
late, but shortly after arriving made
a try for altitude and reached 3500 feet.
Both flyers reported very low tempera
tures.
The contests will be resumed tomor
row. Announcement of Saturday next
as an added day was made tonight.

American Women's League
Tho Los Angeles chapter has the
coveted honor of giving the first re
sent for tho state of California, as
Claudia Haicn White, president of the
LOS Angeles chapter, led the entire
United States in point of numerical
strength In votes cast for the im
portant oillce which means state or
i ganigatlon. Mrs. White is, peculiarly
I qualified in training and temperament
for this high office. She has probably
organized more clubs and societies,
ami assisted in procuring funds for
the building of a greater number of
churches, orphan asylums, hospitals
and colleges than any other woman in
thi.s country, and her versatility has
won for her the highest recognition.
She has a keen, analytical mind, and
Los Angeles is proud to give to Cali
fornia so brilliant a woman to dis
charge the exacting requirements of
the state regency.
The first winter meeting of the Los
Angeles chapter house was held in
Symphony hall, Blanchard building,
j Wednesday evening, November 2, at
8 o'clock, with Dr. Henriette E. Sweet
in the chair. Dr. Sweet was recently
appointed president of tho Los An
geles chapter by the executive board
to fill tho unexpired term of Pearl
Adams Spaulding, resigned. Dr. Sweet
is well loved in the Los Angeles chap
ter as well as in the northern part of
the state, where she has organized a
I number of chapters. Her most con
j spicuous work for tho Los Angeles
chapter was the organization of a ten
weeks' class in body building, and she
has generously offered to repeat the
course this winter as soon as seventy
five members register at the chapter
house. Dr. Sweet's class in body
building will be conducted at the
Sweet-Lowe Rest home, 3311 Temple
street, one of the most charming
homes in the country.
STAR-GAZER GIVES IMITATION'
Professor Edgar F. Larkin of Mount
Lowe observatory delivered the prin
cipal address of the evening, which
was a rare combination of wit and
the garnered wisdom of his fifty years'
study of the stars. Professor Larkin
is a distinguished member of the
American Woman's league, and his !
humorous account of his experience in
joining the league at the first national
convention held last June at Univer
sity City was keenly enjoyed.
Professor Larkin invited the Los
Angeles chapter to spend the day and
evening at the observatory at Mount
Lowe in January, the date to be an
nounced In the Los Angeles Herald.
It will be a rare opportunity for mem
bers to be the guests of this distin
guished astronomer.
Mrs. Ella K. Sprinkel, vice president
of the Los Angeles chapter, gave an
able talk on debentures and the con
solidation of the Lewis publications
centering in the Woman's National
Daily. The change is so radical that
the explanation was deemed essential,
but it is meeting with the gratified
approval of the members of the Los
Angeles chapter.

The last evening meeting of the Los
Angeles chapter was held In Symphony !
hall, Blanchard building, June 3, 1910,
when a formal vote for the selection

chapter house was taken.
The Los Angeles chapter having ful
filled its part the plans of these prop
erties, together with the votes, wore
expressed to Mr. Arthur, head of the j
chapter house department at Unlver- i
sity City and will receive due consider- '
atlon when the Los Angeles chapter
qualifies for a $r>o,ooo chapter house by
enrolling 2500 full paid members.
The year 1910 will be memorable in j
the history of the Los Angeles chapter, j
After the appointment of Pearl Adams
Spaulding as coast manager of the ]
American Woman's league the growth
of the league movement was phenom- ;
enal, and under her brilliant adminis
tration more work was accomplished i
In five states than in the entire United
States. It was felt to an extraordinary I
degree in this city, through the medium ,
of monthly federated meetings Inaugu- i
rated by Mrs. Spaulding, which re- I
suited in the consolidation of two j
powerful chapters, the Los Angeles ]
chapter and the E. G. Lewis chapter,
Mrs. Ella K. Sprinkel. president of the ;
former and Dr. Henriette E. Sweet
president of the latter, on March 4. Mr.
Lewis' birthday, under the name of the
Los Angeles chapter, with a member
ship of 500 and now numbering over
1800, having over 1000 more members
than any other chapter in the United
States.
Mr. Lewis suggested the election of j
Mrs. Pearl Adams Spaulding as presi- I
dent and Mrs. Ella K. Sprinkel and !
To Watchjhe Count
All believers in clean politics and an honest count of the ballots who are willing to volun
teer their services to watch the count on the night of election day, beginning at 6 o'clock p. m.
and ending with the close of the count, are urged to report today at Good Government head
quarters, 318 Fay building, corner of Third and "Hill streets, giving their names, addresses and
telephone numbers.
An honest count of the ballots is a vital necessity. Such service as is now asked of good
citizens is one of the most important they can render to the cause of political decency. It is a
high type of work, and no citizen should feel himself above it.
Some of the best known men of Los Angeles already have volunteered their services in this
direction and have been assigned to precincts where it is anticipated they may be needed. THE
GOOD GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION GUARANTEES FULL PROTECTION TO
EVERY MAN WHO COMES TO THE FRONT.
Volunteers are requested to call for Mr. Zahn, Mr. Reynolds or Mr. Warren. Telephones,

Dr. Henriette E. Sweet as first vice
president*, with equal power In tho
conduct of the chapter; also Claudia
Hazen White, Mrs. Loland Norton, Mrs.
Amelia A. Gunten as vice presidents,
and Miss Jennie Van Allen, secretary
and treasurer.
Mrs. Spaulding recently resigned her
! position as president of the Los An
i geles chapter, and at a meeting of the
board October 17 Dr. Sweet was unan
imously appointed president to fill Mrs.
Spaulding's unexpired term.
An event of national importance to
the American Woman's league was the
| winning of tho beautiful bungalow in
the Los Angeles Herald's voting con
test. It is now known as tho Los An
geles chapter house, and the title is
I vested in the name of the Los Angeles
chapter, to be held In perpetual trust
; for the chapter. This was done by
the expressed wish of E. O. Lewis,
founder of the league, who personally
gave $1100 at a critical period in the
contest, and to Mr. Lewis' generosity
and the splendid co-operation of the
Los Angeles members this chapter is
indebted for a chapter house worth
$5300, a piano worth $600 (Mrs. Spauld
ing having advanced $100 at the time
this was won), a $250 lot at Brawley
and a $100 diamond ring, making the
gratifying total of $6250, thus making
the Los Angeles chapter the largest
and richest in the United States.
The money advanced by Mr. Lewis
and Mrs. Spaulding is regarded as a
loan, and will be naid as soon as the
lot at Brawley and the diamond ring
are sold.
The new chapter house has been the
scene of many delightful affairs dur
ing the summer, the most notable be
ing the house warming on August 3,
and the flag raising day on September
17. The charming Saturday evenings
with music and other attractions are
now merged in the organization of a
remarkable array of classes under the
direction of a coterie of brilliant wom
en who gratuitously give their ser
vices to supplement the correspondence
courses of tho league. Tho following
classes have been organized:
LUw—Mrs. tiara Shortbridge Foltz,
at her offices in the Merchants' Trust
building, at 3 o'clock Saturday after
noons; Dr. Susan lialfe, parliamentary
law, at her offices, 505 Mason building,

Constance Lister, music, at the home
of Mrs. M. M. Howarter, 922 Maple

pervision of Mrs. Elizabeth Fowler,
with Mrs. Leslie Marlon Carlisle as
teacher of the chemistry of foods, and
Miss Virginia Sprinkel, cooking, at
Mrs. A. M. Vance's, 1058 S. Main street.
The Los Angeles chapter has had a
number of beautiful gifts presented in
tho way of china and silver by Mrs.
Dora Sturges; tapestry and water col
ors by Mrs. E. L. Hubbert; a hundred
year-old heirloom by Miss Margaret
Fette; a beautiful silk flag by three
members; a splendid bunting flag from
twelve of the members of Uncle Sam's
post, who aro also members of the
chapter.
The Los Angeles chapter house is
the only one on the long list under the
name of "special," and we ai-e under
great obligation to the Los Angeles
Herald for this distinction—The Herald
having made possible this beautiful
temporary chapter house. It is due The
Herald that subscriptions be universal,
as it is the only way the chapter has
of chronicling the past and future
events. We can only recognize what
it means to the Los Angeles chapter
to have a great newspaper back of it,
when we realize it is the only chapter
in the United States to have the sup
port of a great metropolitan news-
paper. Taken as a whole the Los An
gelos chapter has made a splendid rec
ord—back of it lies the magnificent
planning of Pearl Adams Spauldlng,
who has risen from the humble post
of coast manager to the head of the
organization department of the entire
United States. She is the only woman
at the head of a department who is a
member of the board of trustees and
one of the vloe presidents.
The Los Angeles chapter was the
first to present a trowel for the lay
ing of the first chapter house corner
stone in California, In fact the first
chapter In the United States to present
a trowel. The Los Angeles chapter is
also the first to organize a woman's
exchange; the first to have a proposi
tion made them by a large real estate
firm to sell property on a commission
basis, it has also organized a home
finding department, and inquiries are
coming from all over the United States
from people who are looking for a home
or business location in California; and
the first to have a house wanning. It
was also the first to establish an Arbor
day, the date for the first ceremony to
be announced later. Many members
have promised fruit trees, ornamental
shrubbery and rose bushes for beauti
fying the chapter house grounds.
The Los Angeles chapter Is the first
to Rive a. series of outdoor meetings
In the parks, which have been delight
ful In this semi-tropical land, the first
being held at Echo park and the sec
ond at Eastlake park.
The chapter house will be closed
Saturday nights during the winter,
but will be open every day from 9 to
5 with the exception of Monday, when
it will be closed until 1 o'clock p. m.
This was done by order of Herbert
Lane, business manager of the Ameri
can Woman's league. Los Angeles
chapter has given California a regent
who has led the entire United States
in point of the number of votes cast
for her —Claudia Hazen White, a wom
an who Is loved most by those who
know her best.
FOOTPADS MENACE
MAN WITH DEATH
Knife Flashed in Face of Victim
of Highwaymen in South
Prichard Street
POLICE HOPE FOR CAPTURE
Three Desperadoes Believed to
Be Same Ones Who Commit
ted Series of Crimes
While tvfo men pinioned his arms
and a third flourished a knife in his
face, John Dunlap, 112 South Prlchard
street, was robbed in the glare of an
arc light near his home early yester
day morning. A three-quarter-karat
diamond was cut from his necktie, a
watch and chain torn from his vest,
and a large wallet filled with cards
and papers, which the robbers evi
dently believed contained money,
taken from him by the man who held
the knife. Houghly throwing Dunlap
from them, the men curtly command
ed him to "move on" under penalty of
having his "windpipe slit," and as he
walked away they disappeared.
Dunlap, his clothes torn and disor
dered, made his way to police head
quarters, where he reported the hold
up and gave an accurate description
of the robbers. Dunlap's descriptioin
has furnished tho police with a clew
which they believe will enable them
to arrest the men. The tactics which
t*ie men used in holding up Dunlap
cause the police to believe they are
guilty of similar robberies, although
not operating together.
Dunlap was returning to his homo
after a visit with friends and had
reached the arc light when he heard
three men behind I.lm. Halting for a
moment to allow the men to pass,
he tbs seized on each side and his
arms and head were bent backward,
while the knee of one of the men who
held his arms was pressed against his
back. Bent almost double, with tho
pout sleeve of one of the men pressed
against his mouth, Dunlap was help
less in their grip. Deftly the robber
wielding the knife went through his
clothes with the skill of, a profes
sional.
As the man finished Dunlap was
Jerked upward and flung: head fore
most from them, almost falling to the
pavement. Steadying himself, he was
about to look around when one of the
men commanded him to walk ahead.
Dunlap lost no time in getting away
from the robbers.
