SPECIAJ. CORRESPONDENCE OF THT OATj
PARIS, Oct. €.— Several times each
week large crowds start from* here
bound Zor home In California. The
re«t and <;ulet to be obtained on the
ocean is looked forward to with pleas
ure and thoroughly appreciated by
travelers who have been sightseeing
and touring through France and else
where In Europe for many weeks. To
the women, especially, tired out as
they are with the final few days 1 shop
ping, the rest is particularly pleasing.
for there Is always, seemingly, a mil
lion things one wishes to do at al-
rr.est the last moment.
To be able to drop into a steamer I
chair on board ship and doze the hours '
away is like a promise of paradise, !
after the fight and struggle to get j
poTK-r.s and other garments home from j
th» dr»ss makers in time to pack in !
trunks before starting. In some of :
\ht big establishments the experience!
of waiting for hours for fittings and i
t?sea the necessity of sending gowns'
b&ck over and over again for final j
touches is well nigh maddening.
Ac The Call predicted in these col- j
mxuu some time ago would be the case, j

taken up by the fashionables of New j

BAIXOOXnVG A REAL SPORT
Ballooning Is no longer a novelty in \u25a0
France. It has become a real sport, \u25a0
and It is the belief that it has "come i
to stay." The newspapers are full of j
all kinds of aeronautic news. The re- j
cent bad weather was a great disap- j
polntnrent In the enormous crowds who j
gahered In the gardens of the Tulller- i
les and the Place de la Concorde to |
view the etart for the grand prlre of- ]
fered by the Aero Club de France a few
days ago. Out of 20 entries 19 started.
To beat all records the winner had to
remain In the air more than 41 hours
and exceed a sailing distance of 1,525
kilometers, this being the record. One
member of the club published a primer
of questions end answers as to the
pleasure and cessation of being "up in
a balloon." It wae Quite at clever as
Addlson Mizner'B almanac and as hu
morous. Much interest Is being taken
by aeronauts here In the ascensions
which are to be made at St. Louis, Mo.,
In a couple of weeks. Several well
known aeronauts have left France for
the purpose of participating therein.
What next? Now comes Charles
Frohtnan, the well known theatrical
manager of New York, with a plan for
giving theatrical representation* on
Atlantic steamers while crossing. He
it said to be even . now negotiating
with the Cunard steamship company
to equip the giants LusHania and Mau
retania with stages and necessary fit
tings. With the abandonment of the
table d'hote system on some of the
big Atlantic liners (which system was
bo great a trial to many passengers)
the opportunity of seeing a theatrical
performance worth while would be ap
preciated by many travelers, On the i
other hand, there are numerous persons i
\u25a0who tall the chance to get away from j
that very sort of thing — society din
ners, theaters, etc., and "take a run
over to the other side," merely to es
cape what is now proposed shall be In
troduced on board Ehip. You can't es
cape diabolo, however, for nearly all
of the larger ships are equipped with
eeta for those passengers who are
devotees of -the game.

REFUSES TO SIGN BILL
FOR BIGGY'S NEW AUTO
Auditor Horton Says Claim
Is Illegally Drawn on
; . Wrong Fund
ASHER GIVES ADVICE
Attorney Declares Police
Boat Money Can Not Be
Used for Motorcar
Auditor Horton refused yesterday to
sign* a demand drawn in favor of a
locol motor company for $4,500 in pay
ment for the big red automobile now
used by Chief of Follce Blggy; Hor
ton held that the demand was Illegally
drawn on a fund of $10,000 which was
made In the budget of the present fiscal
year; for the purpose of purchasing, a
patrol boat to be used by the police
department on the water front.
Horton bad received an opinion from
his attorney, Maurice "Asher, to the ef
fect that he could not legally audit the
demand, despite the fact that the board
of -supervisors had. by ordinance au
thorized the purchase of the machine.
'"The board of supervisors has done
an illegal act In ordering the purchase
of this automobile with money out of
the fund appropriated for a patrol
boat," said Horton to a representative
of the motor company who made the
demand. ."That fund must be kept In
tact until the purpose for which It was
made Is accomplished. If no patrol
boat Is purchased the money will go
Into the general fund, but not before
the end of this fiscal year."
It looks as though the motor com
pany will have to wait until June SO
for the payment of its bill unless the
board of supervisors rescinds Its for
mer act and pays for the automobile
out of another fund which is more
elastic than the patrol boat fund.
JUDGMENT ALLOWED BY
LOWER COURT REVERSED
Defendant Who Did Not Read Con-
tract Must Suffer, Say Appel-
late Court Judges
In reversing the decision of the lower
court in the suit brought by the De
Laval 'dairy supply company . against
M. B. Steadman, for whom the lower
court decided, the court of appeal yes
terday said in handing down the de
cision: "It is a general principle that
if the cleans of knowledge be at hand
and equally available to both parties
the Injured party must show that he
availed himself of the means at hand
before he will be heard to say that he
was deceived."
The action was one to recover the
cost of certain machinerj which the
plaintiff claimed was sold f. o. b. San
Francisco. The machinery was shipped
aboard the steamer Gipsy, and was
lost In the wreck of that vessel In
the bay of Monterey In September, 1805.
The defendant to the action held that
he had not read the printed contract
of the sale stipulating the purchase to
be f. o. b., and claimed as he had
bought the goods on a month's trial
he was not liable until after .the
trial had been obtained.
WILL LAY CORNERSTONE
The cornerstone of the new custom
house building wlir be laid" next Thurs
day at 11:30 a. m. by Collector Fred
erick S. Stratton, with a $40 silver trowel
made from dimes contributed by cus
tom* house employes. Governor Gillett,
United States Senator Perkins, Myor
Taylor and other notables will make
addresses. Representatives of the al
lied commercial organizations will have
charge of the affair. Contrary to the
general precedent the Masonic order
will not participate in the ceremony.
