o'clock Friday morning.
After breakfasting and resting at the
Jefferson Hotel, Mr. Molsant went out
to the Fair Grounds to Join the other
members of the International A\ iator s
Corporation, and to survey the ground
over which he expected to fly.

A crowd which far surpassed that of

from .Friday, when high w ind prevent
ed-the aviators from flying. In addi

there were several thousand other per

the “show" until the last day. In an
ticipation ot a better exhibition than
was given earlier In the week.
Crowd Out Early.
The grandstand was welt Uiled. and
the race course fence was thronged,
Ilya persons deep, by the crowd which

and the echedtiled race between ''Hat”
Hamilton, rough rider of the sir, and
Joe Seymour, chauffeur of the 120
faorae power automobile.
The wind was high all morning and
the aviators were nettled because they
wanted to fly witnout unneceeearliy
risking their lives. Manager Alfred
Moisant declared that if the wind died
down to fifteen or twenty miles an
hour the hlrdmrn would soar aloft
and cut a large assortment of aortal
caper*
• Although the Lurdmen have not been
given the support they expected in a
city where not more than one a«ro
[« plana was ever seen In flight before.
1 they have been encouraged by the at

abia impression, because the Inter
national Aviators plan giving annual
shows with the latest machines and
the beat men in the business. Kor
that reason Manager Moisant and his

I In the world, aid the struggling r«

“The first sasentlal of a republic!

political activity' is a uuestlon with
whicu many pscpla are concerning
themselves. There has been consider
able speculation on this point, and
on several occasions various leaders
of the opposing Hepublican factions,
which Is lined against the ao-called
otlice-holders' trust,' have been ac
cused of being the compiainanta
Suoh announcements have been made
only to be denied. Hut there seems
to be little doubt but that the charges
did not originate through "political
soreness."
Mr. M. K. Howry, collector of in
ternal revalue for this district, whose
name has been linked with the “office
holders' trust." expressed the opinion
Saturday that the whole matter Is the
outcome of Ill-feeling on the part of
some Republicans.
"Won’t Affect Chief*.
Mr. Howry said further that he did
not think that the heads of any of
the departments would be affected by
the investigation, in view of the fact
that executive heads are not in the
classified service. It would reulre ac

mterfer with the chiefs of depart

Mr. Lowry admitted that it la hi*
ballet that the charges are aimed at
the subordinates who are under th«
civil service commission.
The return of Mr. Fisher to Rich*

excitement in Republican cirolee, and
there is no doubt that many govern

bench, while everyone in tbe Federal
