NO TROUBLE ANTICIPATED Number of Experiments Will Be Made by Wrights' Competitor to Try California Atmosphere. Situation Tangled. LOS AKGEI-ES. Jan. 6. (Special.) reclaring ho knows nothing of an injunc tion issued against him at the instiga tion of the Wright Brothers, except what ho has seen in the newspapers, and that he will enter as many of the events as possible at the l-ios Angeles aviation meet, Glenn H. Cnrtlss. aviator, now in IjOS Angeles, Is prepared to establish new world's records in air navigation. "There has been no Injunction granted." declared the aviator this morn ing. "There is no reason for an injunc tion, no infringement upon the Wright patents, and I cannot see why there should be any. Curtiss Out With T)enial. "It is evident the judge in Buffalo has Issued some order." continued Mr. Cur tiss, "but as to an injunction, there has been none granted. I have just received a telegram from my attorneys in New York and they assure me of that fact. "If the Judge informs himself of the responsibility of our corporation, he will find that it will be unnecessary to take such measures. "There is 'no reason why the Ixjs An geles meet should be interfered with on this score. No Trouble Anticipated. "It Is generally known throughout the entire world by those at all familiar with aviation that our machine does not in fringe on the Wright patent, and we do not anticipate any trouble in that con nection. "I came to Ijos Angeles to make a num ber of experiments in the Pacific Coast atmosphere and there is no reason why they should not be made." WRIGHTS BLOCK FLIGHTS Paulbam and Curtiss Served With Papers and Injunction. NETvf YORK, Jan. 5. The headquar ters here of the Aero Club of America is today the storm center of discussion as to the probable effect which the Wright injunctions against Curtiss and Paulhan will have on the big aviation meeting at Los Angeles next week. The announcement that a second set of pa pers -was served on Paulhan Just as he was leaving New Tork Tuesday, has given rise to a fear that he and other aviators may be restrained from making flights in Los Angeles. The serving of this second set of pa pers on the Krench aviator followed the receipt of news from Buffalo, that the Circuit Court there had granted an In junction restraining Glenn H. Curtiss from flying on the Coast. The order of the United States Court, which was handed to Paulhan yesterday, commanded him to appear in New York on Friday. January 14. "to show cause why an injunction restraining him from flying in this country shall not be is sued." As Paulhan expects to be flying in T.fts Angeles on the date set for the in junction hearing, legal complications are likely to result. An officer of the Aero Club of America Is quoted here today as follows: "While it is not at all certain that an injunction can be secured soon enough after January 14 to prevent Paulhan from making flights at Los Angeles, it is cer tiiln that the action taken by the Wrights will have a depressing effect on the meeting. Long telegrams of inquiry and protest have poured in on the Aero Club. .Mr. Bishop, president of the club, will leave tomorrow or Friday for the West, and do what he can to Clear up the sit uation. "The legal tangle In which Paulhan has found himself will have another bad effect. It is likely to prevent other Eu ropean aviators from visiting America, and will make it very difficult to induce any of the star performers on the other side to come here for the big internation al contest next October." The attorneys for the Wrights an nounce frankly that they expect to stop both Paulhan and Curtiss from flying at Ixis Angeles. Curtiss, they declare, will place himself in contempt of court If he attempts to carry out his Log Angeles plan. CntTlSS INSISTS OX FI1IXG Aviator Declares He Knows Nothing of Injunction. LOS ANOKLKS. Jan. 5. Declaring that he knows nothing of any injunction Is sued against him on behalf of the Wright brothers, Olenn H. Curtiss, who arrived here from the Bast today, said he would enter as many of the aviation events next week as possible. Clifford B.

SALEM, Or.. Jan. 6. (Special.) Deliberating on the Meyers murder case from 4 o'clock this afternoon un til late tonight, the jury has not yet reached a verdict and in all proba bility the Investigation of evidence will continue throughout tomorrow. There is t feeling- here, due to the prolonged deliberation over the clear-cut evi dence, that the jury may disagree. So rapidly did the case progress to day that at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon attorneys for the defense announced that their case was complete. Attor ney P. H. D'Arcy pleaded that the youthful slayer of Eckhart be given a chance to redeem himself. District Attorney John H. McNary scouted the plea of self-defense and the assertion that Meyers had a right to shoot Pa trolman Kekhart because tlie latter was not armed with a warrant. Judge Burnett delivered an extended charge to the jury and at 4:40 o'clock the case was given to the talesmen. ileyers was the first witness sum moned by the defense this morning. ,He testified that he had some difficulty with Patrolman Eckhart on the way to the jail and that Kckhart was trying to draw his revolver when he Oleyers) shot him in self-defense. Dr. Cusick, James I-inn, A. L. Frazer and other witnesses were called to testify as " to Meyers' standing in the commu nity and the alleged Quarrelsome and ar bitrary disposition of the policeman slain. Both yesterday and today the court room was crowded. Meyers, until today, appeared totally indifferent ' to his surroundings. Today he was in tears throughout the argu ments of the attorneys for and against him. LONE MAIM CAUSES DROP (Continued from First P.-vr p Steel Corporation said, concerning an other report in Wall street that Mr. Reld would retire from the board of di rectors of the company: "I cannot credit It. None of the direc tors has spoken to me about Mr. field's retirement and no meeting has been called to consider any such matter."' Mr. Reid was not at his office this af ternoon. Tn the light of the recent capers of Rock Tsland on the stock exchange, there was a disposition to blame all the trou ble of today on that stock, but the fact Is there has been heavy general liquida tion of late and the large Interests have not seen fit to accord the market any real support since the opening of the year. Break Caused by Hitch. That the break in Rock Tsland issues was due to the parting of the ways of "William II. Moore and Daniel G. fteid was told everywhere in Wall street. Both men denied It. "There is absolutely no truth in the report of a break or friction," said Mr. Moore. "I am at a loss to understand the birth of euch a story." Mr. Reid, who spoke through his sec retary, was equally ;gositive. The financial district heard of the deal about Rock Island since the sensational movement in the stock a fortnight ago, when it jumped from 50 to SI and back agsln almost in a flash. Tater opera tions in that and allied securities have not allayed the alarm then created. The enormous -volume of Rock Inland stock traded in 230.000 shares, at steadily decreasing values caused many misgiv ings, the more so since mneh of the sell ing seemed to emanate from a Rock Inland broker.

Rarely does the deep snow between here and Tahoe get in condition for safe sleighing. Mail and sightseers are being carried through by four-horse sleighs that make fast time. The temperature in Truckee . has dropped to more than 20 degrees below zero several times this week. At Boca and Prosser Creek, it was more than 30 below. This is the coldest known here in years. Icemen are greatly benefited and are cutting a great quantity of ice, 12 inches and more in thickness. Truckee business men are taking steps to hold another snow and ice carnival, and expect to give visitors sleighing! skating, tobogganning and skiing. Ex cursions, probably, will be run from east and west to afford people from warmer climes to enjoy Truckee's Winter sports. It was five degrees below zero in the Yosemite Valley this morning, the cold est in many years. Tourists from a milder climate experienced some dis comfort at first, but soon rallied and are passing their time enjoying good skating and sleighing and viewing the mountains in midwinter. STATUS QUO IS BIG STICK (Oontinued from First Pasre. ) President to carry out platform pledges on which both were elected. The Pres ident says he has not turned down recommendations of insurgent Con gressmen, but is simply- preserving the status quo to impress them with their obligations." Many "insurgents." however, have frankly told the President that they would support him in his legislative programme, which already has been pretty definitely outlined. They de clare themselves to be Republicans, first and last, and say they will sup port measures framed to carry out the party platform. Democratic Alliance Sought. There are still a few "Insurgents," however, who are said to be disposed to carry on an absolutely Independent attitude. To make tueir position stronger, they are said to be willing to ally themselves with - the Democrats. It is against these so-called recalcitrants that the "no patronage" order has been Issued, and so far as President Taft Is concerned, this will be the stand, un til the members see fit to subscribe to the party's legislative programme. Some or the insurgents" read with amazement bordering on anger today the reports of the President's stand. One of them. Representative Madison, of Kansas, expressed a view indorsed by several of his associa'es, when he said: "We insurgents, as we are called, are not against Taft or his policies. We are unanimously, 1 believe, in favor of every leading reform to which the President and the Republican party are committed. For instance. I am in fa vor of postal savings banks, conserva tion of natural resources, regulation ot injunction, reform of Federal court pro cedure, Oovernment regulation and control of industrial and carrying cor porations, the publication of campaign funds and other reforms. Main Policies Indorsed. "It is slanderous to say that we can be swerved from the course of sup porting these reforms by the with holding of any official patronage by anybody, or be induced to support this or that proposition by the offering of official sop of any kind. We are com mitted to the principles which I have enumerated, because we believe they are right and not because either the President or anybody else is for or against them. "It is not the insurgents of the House, but men like Aldrich and Cannon whom the President will have to induce to support his 'policies.' The insurgents are for them already, and have been all the time." Representative. Norris. of Nebraska, added his approval of this declaration, as did Representative Hayes, of Cali fornia, who said his fight was solely against the rules of the House and its present organization.

Senator Cummins said he had experienced no difficulty with the Postofflce Department or any other Government department in regard to his patronage. Most of the radical insurgent leaders on the House side feel that with the elections but a few months distant, it Is a life and death straggle with them and conse quently, when forced Into the fray, have no hesitation about carrying the war to anv extent. Mr. Hayes said when he read the pub lished accounts today of what purported to be the Administration's attitude toward the insurgents he did not believe it. He considered the proposition suicidal to the Administration. Mr. Hayes denied the statement published today, in which, he was quoted as saydng that he could "see President Taft's finish if he persisted In upholding Cannon." Hitchcock Is Noncommittal. Postmaster-General Hitchcock, gen erally regarded as the closest political adviser of the President, declined to make any statement for publication re garding the question. He did not deny having had a conversation with Rep resentative Miller, of Minnesota, one of the insurgents, in the course of which he Intimated to him what the Adminis tration's position was likely to be. He was quite sure that, whenever a deter mination might be reached by the President respecting Federal patronage, it would affect not merely the Post- Scrofula Few are entirely free from it.
