Drexe i and Grahame-White May Aid Performances English and French aviators who have never 'been seen In this country but whoso performances abroad have won ■ them International renown will come to Los Angeles this winter to participate in the big aviation meet to be held in January under the auspices of the Aero Club of California. Yes terday- the aviation committee re ceived favorable replies to invitations sent to three prominent English air men, and negotiations with several of the French aviators have reached _ stage where their appearance here Is practically assured. Tim meeting probably will be held on the dates already announced, Jan uary 12 to 22. The date has not yet been fixed by the Aero Club%jf Amer ica, but there seems little doubt that the request of the local organization will be granted. The Englishmen who will come here are Cody," Harding ■ and Gibbs. Cody will bring a big British army aeroplane, a fast biplane just built and his war kites. Harding has two J. A. P. monoplanes, one of ninety-, five-horse power, which is crfHlted with a speed of eighty miles an hour, while Gibbs has two machines for entry In the open events. . The Frnch aviators who are ex . pected to come here are Leon Bathiat, who uses a Hanriot monoplane; G. P. Weiss, with a Koechlln monoplane, and Champel, who has a Paulhan biplane. With' the Frenchmen will come Madame Marthe Nlel, one of the three I Frenchwomen holding aviators' licenses, and whose exploits in the air have made tier the rage in Paris. The local committee has found that foreign aviators can be brought here for about the same amount asked by the American bird men, including their transportation both ways. EUROPEANS ADD INTEREST Members of the committee believe, too, that the contests will prove more interesting If European, aviators are entered, since there seems to be a dis position on the part of the Americans to - demand guarantees rather - - than compete for liberal cash prizes. This does not mean, however, that no Americans will participate in the meet. On the contrary, native flyers doubtless will outnumber the French and English entrants combined. La tham and * Radley are now in San Francisco and their manager will be ln Los Angeles today to discuss terms with the committee. ■ Grahame-Whlte, who, though he Is an Englishman, is quite as well known on this side of the Atlantic as at home, and A. J. Drexel are in Phila delphia and may be induced to come to Los Angeles.

SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 26, 1910. BOY IN TEENS IS MATCH FOR SHARPS IN RATE HEARING Railroad Lawyers Fear to Cross Examine Youthful Econo mist Who Testifies COST FALLS ON CONSUMER Chicago Expert Shows How the Manufacturer and Retailer Put Increase on Buyer (Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.— Balti more economist, still in his teens, took the stand at today's session of the rate increase hearing before the interstate commerce commission. Henry C. Bar lrw of Chicago, director of the Chicago Association of Commerce, and former president of the Evansville & Terre Haute railroad, and traffic manager of •the Wisconsin Central; Ezra E. Wil liamson of Cincinnati, commissioner of the Receivers' and Shippers' associa tion of that city, for sixteen years as sociated with the Queen & Crescent uute,.and B. B. Burgunder of Balti more, 19 ysß.rs old, whose command of railroad stock statistics headed off moss examination, were the day's wit- esses. Burgunder was put on the stand to testify as to his own statistical com putations concerning the "rights of stockholders.". Within a minute he had the members of the commission poring over copies cf his tables and all the counsel listening to his analytical Interpretations of the figures. Mr. Barlow believed in horizontal in crease in rates, If' any* were necessary, which he was not willing to concede, He thought Iron and steel and coffee and sugar should help bear the burden that the carriers purposed to place on the public. ALLEGES DISCRIMINATION Mr. Barlow's position was that the increases were discriminatory and that the shippers of those articles which were affected by the increases had al ready paid their pound of flesh. He said the railroads seemed to have selected such commodities as . 1 they wished, had left other tariffs un changed and had made some reduc tions. He said the railroad plan put the entire increase on only 10 per cent of the freight, tonnage, while the pre text of meeting wage Increase applied to 100 per cent of all tonnage. He declared the proposed advance put 44 per cent of the burden on the first-class freight and that substan tially 75 per cent of the burden rested on shippers of first, second and third classes of freight. '_'-"■' '.' Mr. Barlow's declaration that any Increased freight • rate always fell on the consumer was questioned by Chair man Knapp, who asked the witness how he figured that an increase of less than five mills on a pair of shoes "when the increase of freight rates promised general p-osperity" would be reflected on the price of shoes a man wore. • •» HOW CONSUMER*. PAY Mr. Barlow said that when a manu facturer shipped ion.ooo cases of shoes, probably on 3 or 4 per cent profit, and a 15 per cent rate increase was im posed on him he probably would raise his price 10 cents a pair. Then the retailer would Increase the price to the consumer. . ■ . While discussing the packing house products rates Mr. Barlow again brought the name of George W. Per kins of the J. P. Morgan company of New York into tha argument. Mr. Barlow said he understood Mr. Perkins agreed with the packers on an advance of only one-half of what had been proposed. "Did he purport to represent . the railroads, the beef shippers or anyone else?" demanded Frank Lyon, attorney for the commission. | "I don't know," replied the witness. "I, am told Mr. Perkins came as a representative of Mr. Morgan' as a peacemaker between the packers and the railroads." GOAT EATS BRANDY-LADEN PUDDING-WOW! WHOOPEE! Animal Wrecks Motorcycle and a Wagon, Hurts Man and Kiddies SAN ANSELMO, Cal., Nov. 25.— kind of a goat John is costs $6. Yes terday John ate a Thanksgiving plum pudding, the Ingredients of which cost $1,89, became intoxicated and wrecked a motorcycle which cost $200, and a red, wagon costing $4, battered a man into unconsciousness and frightened two little girls into hysterics. John's owner, L. Moore of San Anselmo, says he will sell him for $2. . If Mrs. Moore hadn't put brandy in this pudding it wouldn't have hap pened. She left the pudding in the back yard to cool and John ate It. Soon after, when hitched to the red wagon for a drive by the little Moore girls, Ethel and Gladys, he felt so strongly the innation of the pudding and the afflatus of the brandy that he violently and without provocation, attacked a motorcycle, ridden by Irv ing James, a real estate dealer. • The motorcycle crawled gallantly up John's ppine, but it was an unequal combat. The macnine was shoveled out of the roadway a half-hour later and James and the two little girls were cared for by a physician. Mr. Moore is looking for a man who has $2 who wants a goat.

WOOD Chief of Staff Wants Better Equipment and Reserve Force of 300,000 WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Major General Wood,' chief of staff, paints a gloomy picture of the lack of prepared ness of the American army in case of war, in his annual report, made public today. There were weak spots in many directions, he said, but most serious was the shortage of the field artillery and ammunition, a fault that should be corrected immediately. General Wood said there was a great lack of reserve seacoast ammunition, and that, at the present rate of ap propriation by congress, it would take more than fifty years .to obtain a reasonable supply for the coast defense and a still longer time to obtain the necessary. field artillery and ammuni tion." If the regular army and organized militia, at war ■ strength, were called to arms today, said General Wood, there would be a shortage of more than 50 per cent in the field artillery neces sary to equip them. This force would represent only a portion of the men called to arms in case of war with a first class power. , General Wood strongly urged the passage by congress of the pending bill -for raising a volunteer army in time of war. .He said this would cost noth ing In time of peace, and would save the government millions of dollars in time of war. ( ../.. Other needs of the military service were set out in the report, including the addition of 1610 officers to replace those detailed from line duties for staff and militia work; the creation of a re serve of not less than 300,000 men who have served In the regular army or" militia; the concentration of the army in large nosts; the re-establishment of the canteen; the increase of the signal corps, and the acquisition of the aero plane.

Felipe Mendoza, a prominent merchant and a loyalist of - Aqua l'rleta, was stabbed while on his way home by Man uel Aguemeda. The mayor of Fronteras arrived at Aqua Prieta tonight with 200 volunteers to guard the frontier. DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. Madero, the leader of the Mexican revolution ists,, is not wounded, as reported, but is marching on the city ot Monciova, in the state of Ooahuila, at the head of p well equipped army, said to num ber as high as 6000 men. This was the report brought by revo lutionary sympathizers^ across the bor der int" Douglas today. Much other information concerning the movements of the revolutionists and the extent of the fighting also reached Douglas IA the same way. A local business man, who Is a revolutionary sympathizer, re ceiv . tl.e data from friends in Mexi co, and it was given out for publica tion her" tonight. A small printed document, published in Chihuahua, shows the local situa tion there and the purported move ments of Madero. This document ac companied the others smuggled in to day. • Madero Is purported to have 1000 well armed, mounted men, recruited from contrabandla and vaqueros, or Mexi can o,y.'"._oys, trom the rich section of country between Monterey and Chi huahua. ' Since October 7, it is said, these men have been engaged in smug gling arms across the border, whence they arrived from San Antonio. All the funds were supplied by the Mex ican Junta and by Madero personaly. REBELS WELL ARMED The cowboys are said also to have smuggled arms for the foot soldiers, and that both the mounted troops and infantry of iiauero carry repeating rifles of 30-30 caliber. Madero's mounted soldiers are considered ' par ticularly efficient. . The foot soldiers were recruited from the cotton belt, where It was known for a long time that the peons were reaujr to take up arms. According to the reports reaching Douglas, Madero's first movement was a bold stroke. With his men he marched to the great ranch owned by Terrazas, newly appointed governor of Chihuahua, at Sans Ostenes, where he captured 400 horses. Madero and his soldijrs then moved into the moun tains. Here with his troops he will be able to stand off the government army for an indefinite period, is the claim of the revolutionary sympathizers. I The only big force of government troops in'the vicinity where Madero Is operating, is • under command of Gen. Travino, who Is reported moving by rail from Monterey toward Monciova to give battle to Madero if possible. Travino's forces are said to be in ferior in numbers to Madero's. Gen. Travino is reported to have left Mon terey November 21, but supporters of Madero believe that the revolutionary leader has destroyed the bridges, com pelling the government forces to march overland. Wg'M Dispatches received by the revolu tionists on this side of the line to day, state unqualifiedly that several towns in the stato of Chihuahua are in the hands of tl. ■ rebels. The more im portant of these places mentioned are Guerrero, San Andreas, San Isidro, cjinfada and Guerachic. BBIDGSS ARE BURNED It .J believed here that there can be little drubt that the revolutionists have th^ upper hand in Chihuahua. There was available in that state only 170 foot soldiers of the Mexican twelfth infantry, which with four officers left Chihuahua November 21 to retake from the revolutionists the cities named above. The government troops start ed by train but found the bridges burned and are now marching over land. After two days of forced marches they are said to have met tho revolu tionists but in the midst of the re ports of the first engagement commun ication was cut and since then no more has come through. • In the towers of the old cathedral at Chihuahua two gatling guns have been mounted, and' five machine guns have been placed on the heights command ing the city. According to the information re ceived, Parral, in the extreme south ern part of the state of Chihuahua, is in the hands of the revolutionist.. An engagement was expected there at any time, it was said. Revolutionists are reported, gather ing in Cohulllo, Parado, Coyamo and outside of OJlnada. Madero owns many cotton planta tions between Monterey and Chihua hua, and he waited until his followers were armed, when he crossed into Mex ico to lead the organized forces. Ma edro was educated at St. Louis, wherj he graduated as a civil engineer. MILITARY IN t'ONTUOI. Gen.
