Will TEST MOTOR
OF NEW MONOPLANE
Inventors Will Attempt Flight
With Their Machine in Rich
* mond This Afternoon \
In order to render, more certain a
successful flight at the public exhibi
tion tomorrow a preliminary test of
the flying quality. .of the Hudsonr
O'Brien monoplane .will, >be made at the
aviation field on .the Cutting boulevard
in Richmond' this afternoon. The air
ship, which is the lightest. of the heav
ier than air craft yet" constructed, will
be piloted by Clifford O'Brien, one of
the buildfrs. " . .
A canvas tent of large dimensions to
house the airship' was erected on the
grounds yesterday, and the machine
with its' -ss-infrs spread was rolled out
under the personal supervision of
O'Brien and I- WJ Coffey, under whose
management the flight will be made.
The preliminary flight will be made
today principally for; the purpose of
testing the motor, which is a striking
feature of the monoplane. Constructed in
liichmond-by J., W. Hudson, one of the.
builders of the airship, the motor is a
prodigy in the development of horse
power in relation to its weight. The
engine, weighing only 50 pounds, de
velops S6 horsepower. The machine
with all attachments weighs 350
pounds. The eschibition flight today
\u25a0will be free of charge.

Dean of Western Hardware
Salesmen Miist Expiate
His Crime '.y ~
: OAKJ-AND, March 4.— George -.M.
: Piper, dean of "western hardware sales
men and one of the most widely known
traveling- men \in America, . has been
\u25a0sentenced to an .indeterminiite^term in
the penitentiary, at Michigan City, Ind.,
the victim of a mad infatuation for a
woman. \u25a0; He. was arrested in Hartford,
Conn.,- a . fortnight ago after- he' had
succeeded in : eluding the police for
months in a chase which extended
.over the entire continent. -The charge
on which ; he was committed was pre
ferred by, his employers, the F. &. N.
lawn mower "company -of Richmond,
Ind., but he is wanted in a dozen
cities on charges of embezzlement and
passing spurious checks.
OAKLAND ! MEX VICTIMIZED
Piper's victims in Oakland included
Mayor Frank K. Mott, who advanced
the salesman $300 on a worthless check,
and George H. ; Smith, , president of
Smith. Brothers hardware company,
who deplores the loss of .several hun
dred- dollars.
Piper took advantage of friendships
formed during his career of more than
a decade on the road,- and the news
6tl his downfall created as much sur
prise and sorrow as . consternation
among his victims. The -woman for
whom he cast aside his reputation and
deserted, his wife and children, is said
to have been the wife \of a: prominent
businessman in the middle 'west. She
forsook . Piper when he was arrested.
MORE CHARGES OF FRAUD '
In Helena, Mont., ~ Piper is credited
with having embezzled $500 from J. W.
Sanders, :.a_. lifelong friend .who for
merly lodged with his sister, and who
borrowed- part of the money lie ad
vanced to Piper. Earl P. Perkins, a
clerk in the National Security bank of
Boston and a boyhood chum of the
convict, also' cashed a worthless check
for $250 at his request.
In addition to charges of forgery and
embezzlement. Piper is accused of bur
glary and grand larceny.
President Lontz of the F. & N. Co.
is extremely bitter against Piper, and
he declares that if he is released after
serving the minimum term of his sen
tence he will cause -him to be rearrest
ed and tried on. other charges that
will keep him within prison walls for
the remainder of his life.

Local Xo, 913 of the brotherhood of
painters, paperhangers and decorators
of San Mateo presented* petition to
the general office asking for permis
sion to withdraw from the San Fran
cisco district council of painters. The
council has been notified 'that It must
file a copy of the petition with the
council so that there may be an answer
to the same.
The district council has directed the
the secretaries of all locals in its Juris
diction to call in all apprentices and
ascertain how long their' applications
have been on file, and that each secre
tary furnish, the council a list of the
eligibles to membership in locals, and
also a complete list of all appren
tices, also the time they have served,
so that a full record may. be kept. It
was deemed that all applicants who
have been in a painters* auxiliary, two
years must join their respective locals.
It was- decided that all members
working in the jurisdiction of Vallejo
who have left the San Francisco dis
trict council, and are' residents of- Val
lejo. must deposit their cards with
Vallejo local No. 876.
Some one wishing to play a joke
on Hugh" F. McMahon, of
the Anti-Japanese- laundry league, tele
phoned to a Japanese laundry to send
a man to get the washing from room
15 at a rooming house in Sixteenth
street, the one which is occupied by
the president. The clothes collector
called there, but did not find the
president in, so he made inquiry of
the .landlady, who informed him that
there | must be some - mistake, . "as Mr.
McMahon -belongs to the laundry driv
ers' association and Is president of
the - Anti-Japanese laundry league,
which Is fighting Japanese laundry
workers. He surely is not going to
give his washing to a Japanese."
After the landlady went back -to her
room the Japanese made a- soliciting
tour of. the house. The following day
he called at the house and carried away
what is known in the trade as "a four
doWar' bundle" to laundry for another
roomer.-.- The Japanese' was sent on a
fool's \u25a0 errand, but managed to pick a
good customer. ' ;_
The ; funeral of the late Emmanuel

that there will be a convention of the

riers' internationals Jn Indianapolis
next May for "the purpose of consolida
ting the three international bodies into

The painters' union. of Sacramento at
its last meeting decided to 'accept' the
offer of the. master painters' association
of $4.50 -a day.- The' union asked foT
50 cents' more a day, but on a. vote
being, taken it appeared there -were 91
in favor, of accepting^the offer of the
master painters and 31 against it.
Some time ago the retail clerks' union
of Vallejo induced the merchants of that
city to close their respective places of
business at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
This was carried out for awhile, but
not kept up, as appears from the fol
lowing from a letter read in the trades
and labor council at its last meeting
and submitted by. Frederick Fisch, a
tailor of Vallejo: / : .~ >
The retail clerks* union of this
city some time ago circulated -a
petition among the merchants and
- tailors of this city- in regard to
closing, their places of business. at --'
6 o'clock, which, for a time they
did, but for some time past it has
been the custom for some of them
to remain open as long as they like. "
' Now the clerks* union does not
seem to think that the tailors are
competitors of the clothing and dry
goods houses and have taken no
action in the matter; but in my
case my tailoring department rep
resents fully half of ray business,
and . I take this method to advise
you that unless some action is
taken in the matter of making the
6 o'clock rule general I shall keep
my tailoring establishment open
evenings from and after April 1.
until such time as" it is decided 'to
give every one a -square deal. I \
simply ask your honorable body to
take a walk around town any even-
Ing; then render your decision.

PROMINENT AUTO
BUILDERS IN CITY
Morris Eckhart of the Auburn
and W. E. Stokes Tell of
Trade Conditions
R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU
Automobile row was visited yester
day by several very prominent men of
the automobile, trade, a number of
them having: arrived in the city in the
last, few days. - Morris. Eckhart o*f the
Auburn automobile company of Au
burn, Ind., was the guest of the TVag
ner-Reniff motor car company, agents
for the Auburn \u25a0 car. Eckhart gave
some very interesting 1 statistics con
cerning trade \u25a0 conditions in the east,
and especially the outlook for the
present season.
'He was most emphatic in his state
ment that there will not be enough
cars built to supply the de*mand. The
shortage, although not evident at this
time, is accounted for from- the fact
that the buying season, outside of the
south and east of the Rockies, will not
begin until next month. And when
that, time is reached, Calif ornians who
have delayed purchasing, will realize
the truth of this statement. At the
present time Californians have prac
tically been abie to get cars at dates
to suit their pleasure, but when the
selling season elsewhere begins, the
agents in those sections will have to
receive consideration. It will mean
that California motorists have passed
up their golden opportunity, and will
then have to wait their turn to be sup
plied.
Another point that Eckhart makes
is that some factories- have oversold,
figuring that some dealers where there
is keen , competition, may not be able
to take their allotment. From the
present indications Eckhart feels that
there is not a single dealer in the
standard makes of cars but' what will
more than be able' to sell his allot
ment." This will mean that he will not
be able to get all the cars expected.
The Auburn company has. sold its
output and is merely now running on
a conservative basis fulfilling contracts
and making deliveries.
Accompanying Eckhart were his wife,
daughter, sister and mother and father,
who came west to enjoy the beauties
of the California winter.
W. E. Stokes, general sales manager
of the Olds motor works, is in San
Francisco, visiting the Howard auto
mobile company, agents for the Olds
mobile."...Stokes sees another difSculty
that faces the . California buyer who
defers buying until next month. It is
a well known fact that the railroads
have not enough rolling stock, or, in
other words, enough of the peculiar
sized freight cars required to move all
the automobiles that will be ready for
shipment during next month. - The
railroads which keep in touch
conditions, are not going to tie up a
lot of this rolling stock by sending it
to California on. at least a 15 day haul
with the same number of days re
quired for return, when it Is possible
to use the same rolling stock for short
hauls in the east- and. thereby keep
the cars earning the large freight
rates demanded for handling automo
biles. It will be found that .factories
will be willing to ship if necessary
cars can be supplied, but eastern rail
roads are .not going to allow their
rolling stock .to travel so far west
ward under these conditions.
. L. E. Ogden of the United manufac
turers of New York was another vis
itor to the city, yesterday. He is mak
ing his headquarters with (Highson
& Metton, coast "agents for,. the United
manufacturers, Ogden is \u25a0\u25a0 . here pre
paring for the demonstrating • crew,
which is working its way northward.
The - United manufacturers is composed
of the Jones -speedometer company,'
Weed chains' company and several
others./ • \
: Ogden's work and that-o£. his^crew
is .educational: They demonstrate
practically to the owners'of motor cars
the superiority of' the'products they
Jiandle, and in that \ way create a.de
mand which otherwise might have been
slow of "growth. In speaking of the
policies of the "United manufacturers
Ogden said:
'The time has arrived when fancy
prices for accessories have passed, and
we are offering the highest standard
line of accessories on the market, and
at prices which only permit of a legiti
mate business profit. Hence the buy
ers of this line are to enjoy reduction
in price only made possible by our
selling organization."
Thirty-five hundred dollars proflt was
realized by the Portland automobile
club of Portland,
Ore., from its sec
ond annual show
and the club is in
. better condition
inancially than it ever has been be
ore. Of this amount $1,500 will pay
ip the indebtedness on the clubhouse
ite and the balance will be expended
n the roads used in the racecourse.
