AIR KINGS SIGN
FOR LOCAL MEET
Wrights and Curtiss Agree to
Participate in Los An
geles Aviation Events
INTER-CITY FLIGHT PLANNED
Southland Towns Asked to Offer
Prizes for Trips from Do
minguez Field /
Aviation meet developments yesterday
were:
Contracts signed with Roy Knabenshue,
representing; the Wright Brothers' company,
and with It. It. Toting, represent the
Glenn Cutllss company.
Karle Remington, representative of the
Aero club of California and one of the best
authorities on aerial navigation on the Pa
cific coast, ridded to the board of directors
of the meet.
Aero club of California authorized to ar
range with the Aero club of America for
official recognition of the meet.
Work started on constructing a perma
nent aviation field at Domlngnez, half mile
from the scene of the meet last winter.
Chambers of commerce and boards of
trade throughout Southern California asked
to put up p'f»e« for flights from Domlngaez
to their respective towns.
Percy VTeldner, Karle Remington, 11. I.aV.
Twining and Martin Neuner appointed as a
committee to arrange list and order of
events and prizes to be given for each.
The charity aviation committee de
voted all of yesterday to the mass of
details necessary to the successful
launching of the big meet. Represen
tatives of the Wright brothers, Glenn
Gurtiss and Hubert Latham appeared
before the board early in the morning
and contracts were signed with the
first two mentioned, which will bring
Aviators Hoxsey, Brookins, Parmalee,
,Willard, Mars, Baldwin and possibly
Glenn Curtiss himself to the meet for
ten days of flying. The contract with
Latham was laid on the table until
today, when it will be considered again,
Latham himself returning from Cata
lina in the meantime to be present at
the signing. There seems to be little
doubt that his services will be secured.
Almost immediately after the con
tracts were signed, assuring beyond
question that the meet will be held,
telegrams /were sent to J. Armstrong
Drexel and Harry Harkness, the mil
lionaire amateur aviators, requesting
them to come to Los Angeles and take
part in the meet. No answer had been
received up until a late hour last night,
but It Is confidently expected that a
favorable reply will arrive today, as
Boon as they understand the magnitude
of the meet. Drexel has made some
remarkable flights in the east and In
England, where he maintains a school
for titled aviators, and his presence
would be a great drawing card, it is
believed.
NEARBY TOWNS INTERESTED
The telegraph wires were also util
ized by the committee in notifying the
commercial bodies in the different
towns and cities throughout Southern
California of the charitable nature of
the meet and requesting their co-oper
ation. The chamber of commerce of
Santa Barbara wired in return that a
meeting would be held at once to con
sider the matter, while the chamber of
commerce of Long Beach sent a rep
resentative to this city at once to con
sult with the committee.
The committeo will endeavor to per
suade these organizations to put up a
rash prize of considerable amount to
go to the aviator who first flies from
the aviation tield to the city offering
the prize. The attitude of the organi
zations heard from seems favorable to
such a plan, according to members of
the committee, and such flights may
become the big feature of tho meet.
The Wright company lias announced
that the baby racer which attracted
IJAHoniephonell
is the really useful, sure-to-be
appreciated gift that you want
to buy
FOR CHRISTMAS
It's a sensible gift. It's a use
ful gift. It's a gift that will
save time, work and worry all
the year round.

so much attention at Belmont park,
New York, on account of its speed,
will bo brought here to be used during
the meet. This machine is looked to
by local aviators to break the world's
record for speed, now held by James
Radley and his Blerlot monoprane.
The latter probably will be here to de
fend his title, however, and a hard
battle is expected.
WORK STARTED ON FIELD
Work on the construction of the
grandstand and hangars at Dominguez
field was started yesterday and a large
force of men will be kept continually
at work until all is in readiness for
the meet. The Whole arrangement of
the field will be different this year.
Auto parks are being arranged for
and the auto road, a portion of the
county good road construction through
Compton, is being connected with the
field in ardor that machines can be
driven directly to the auto pork.
The boxes will I>p five feet from the
ground in front of the grandstand and
so arranged thai ]>:itnms will be able
to promenade from one end of the
structure to the other. A fence will
be constructed along the back of the
boxes to protect the occupants from
the. wind nnd make them as comfort
able as possible. No price has been
Bet on the. boxes, aa it is the intention
of the committee to auction them off
to the highest bidders.
The aviators "ill begin moving their
machines and materials to the avia
tion field within a few clays. The
Antoinette monoplane, with which
Latham flies, was taken from its car
yesterday and will be taken to the
field today nnd placed in a temporary
canvas hangar until the permanent
on^s are constructed. The Curtisa
company t which has eleven machines
in lV>s Angles, will also take its fly
ers out to the field within a few days.

includes the territory between L,os An
gi lea and Watts and between the Loiik I

WATER BOND SALE
AGAIN CONSIDERED
Another Deal with Aqueduct Se
curities Reported in a
Tentative Stage
MAYOR SAYS OFFER LIBERAL
Proposition Said to Involve $1,
--500,000 and Be Similar
to One Turned Down
With the utmost delicacy a propo
sition for the sale of about $1,500,000
worth of aqueduct bonds from the last
option is coming to a head. Tentative
feelers liave been put out in several
directions and when these tentacles
are finally drawn in it is expected that
there will be plenty of money sticking
to them.
Members of the council admitted,
guardedly, yesterday that there was
something in the air, but that it was a
long way from being ripe and that
It would be several days before any
thing developed at all. Mayor Alex
ander sank Into a sphlnxlike silence
when he was approached on the sub
ject and refused to say whether nego
tiations are pending, but he grew elo
quent on the proposition that it is be
lieved has been presented.
It is the same proposition that was
offered the New York syndicate and
that was so scornfully rejected. That
Is, to sell $2,270,000 of the Owens river
bonds from the lust option at par.
This Is the mayor's Idea and he showed
yesterday that there is considerable
profit in It, although it is believed that
any negotiations pending are for
$1,600,000 only.
"We could sell these bonds subject
to the optlion of the syndicate," said
the mayor, "and the person who bought
them would reap a nice little harvest.
Sold subject to the option of the syn
dicate, the syndicate would have to
say, in February, 1912, If it would take
the bonds, and if It did, the syndicate
would have to pay 1 per cent premium,
according to its contract. The holder
of the bonds would get this premium,
which, with the 4<4 per cent which the
bonds carry, would net him 0% per
cent on his year's investment Or, if
the syndicate did not exercise its
option, the bond holder would get a
straight 4% per cent on the best mu
nicipal securities in the world. If I
had the money I know what I would
do mighty quick."
ROYAL OAK LODGE PLANS
OLD-FASHIONED CHRISTMAS
Royal Oak lodge. Sons of St. George,
is arranging a Christmas tree and the
festivities thereto belonging. Funds to
the extent of nearly a hundred dollars
are in sight, which assures a good
celebration after the manner of the
English on the other side of the water.
A large hall will be engaged for the
occasion, the lodge room having been
found inadequate in times past. The
lodge now has 200 members. Refresh
ments and dancing will gratify the
visiting members and all will enjoy
a grand old English Christmas time
with only mistletoe and the yule log
left out.
