NECESSITY POINTED OUT General Wood Has Law Drafted In Which War Department Is to Have Charge of Supplying Experienced Airship Crevrs. WASHINGTOX. Not. 7. Plans for an aerial squadron will be presented to Congress, the number of the air ma chines to be provided being left by the War Department to the lawmakers. This was announced by Major-General- Wood, chief of staff of the Army. The necessity for more heavler-than-alr machines Is held by Army authori ties to be Imperative If the United States Is to keep abreast of other pow ers In the science of military aviation. The training of officers In the hand ling of air craft takes time and with the Army's present facilities for prepa ration, practically nothing ran be done toward Increasing the efficiency of the men of the corps. The Army now owns only one machine. The matter of providing; funds for an aerial fleet will he put squarely up to Congress. It is said, and tha necessity for such an addition to the Army will be emphasised. It is the hope of the signal corps that a sufficient number of machines will be authorized' so that every Array post in the country will be provided with one or more, that the military may be trained In the use of the aerial craft. LATHAM TAKES 9S000 PRIZE Aviator Flies Over Baltimore Sky scrapers for Full Hour. BALTIMORE. Nov. 7. Hubert La tham today accomplished a flight of nearly 25 miles, about half of It over this city, establishing a new record for over-city flights. v The Incentive was a prize of $5000 offered by the Sun and the Evening Ban. for a trip over a prescribed route. Latham was to follow the course of tha Pa taos co River to Fort Henry, thence up the Inner harbor to and around the Sun building, east to the city limits, a mile northwest to Druid Hill Park, down Charles street to Baltimore, and then southwest to the aviation field. There waa to be a short detour for the benefit of Ross Wlnans. a wealthy Invalid, who, unable to leave his home, offered SS00 if Latham would fly within his range of vision. All this Latham accomplished. He varied his altitude from 400 to 2000 feet, and had to con tend with wind blowinfr from aeven to IS miles an hour. He used his 50 horsepower Antoinette and was In the air 62 minutes, making no stop after leaving the field. All the tall buildings In the down town section were crowded by thou sands to witness the flight. By noon, every roof-top waa black with people. At 12 o'clock, the whole city aeemed to stop work. Some minutes later word came that Latham had started. Latham sailed straight for Fort Mc Henry and when almost directly over It turned, and, heading in a north western' direction, steered for the crowded skyscrapers of the down-town district. After circling the Eun building, he continued on tha route designated. At Calvert street he rose to 2000 feet and performed a" series of evolutions for the benefit of Mr. Wlnans. Then he headed for the skyscraper district again and, passing the high buildings, wheeled westward and bore away from the aviation field. There were real competitiona at the aviation field today. Here, again, Lath am came to the front by winning first In both the duration and distance con tests. Count Jacques de Lesseps, In his Blerlot. took second prize In the alti tude and duration trials, and J. Arm strong Drexel, In a Blerlot, won the first prise for altitude. His record was 1S86 feet. Latham took first duration prize with a total of 7 minutes 31 seconds. De Lesseps remaining aloft 30 minutes 42-4-6 seconds. After flying In the "baby" Wright bi plane from the railroad to the course. Arch Hoxsey made a bad landing and damaged the machine. Hoxsey waa un hurt.

FAVORED People Between Grays Crossing and Lenta Junction Anxious. Declaring for annexation 'to Portland in the most earnest terms a mass meet ing of residents living between Gray's i EVERY TEST PROVES IT THE o o o G Crossing and Lents Junction, on the Cazadero carline. was held last night in the Grange Hall at Lents. That the votes of the majority of the taxpayers present will be cast today for annexation waa evidenced by the enthusiasm for the proposal. A large crowd listened to addresses by Ben Riesling, J. J. Johnson, C. B. Livingston, I. F. Coffman and J. C. Mc Grew, all of whom were emphatic in their declarations for annexation to Portland. One or two talks were made against annexation. Bowerman and the Railroads. PORTLAND. Nov. 7. (To the Edl- oooooooooooooooooo o o o o o o o o o o o G G G G G G G Q G G G G G G G G G G G G G G tor.) I do not know and never have spcten either to Jay Bowerman or Oswald West, present candidates for Governor; but this I do know, that while I was vigorously fighting at Salem In 1905 for the passage of- the "Klllingsworth law," which entitles all branch railroads in Oregon to have compulsory traffic connections with trunk or main lines. Jay Bowerman, then a State Senator from Eastern Oregon, voted and worked for that Klllingsworth law. As Burns says, "facts are cliiels that wlnna ding." and surely this fact entitles Jay Bowerman to some credit for the benefits which have since accrued to Oregon from the Killingsworth law. and conclusively show Bowerman was opposed .to rail road monopolies.

G G i HUNTER i i WHISKEY G O G G G old all Qr)mm oJM and br Jobber W1L LAS A&JJt BOH, BmSUnum, MV C300000QQGGGOGGGGGQ To Friends of the Broadway Bridge v There appeared in The Oregonian yesterday, un der the caption, "To Friends of the Broadway Bridge," a paid advertisement over the signature of J. L. Day, Chairman for the Republican Congres sional Committee, stating, "That I am furnishing the financial support of John Manning's Congressional campaign." 4 Replying thereto I have to -say that I have not spent a dollar for Mr. Manning's campaign in any way, shape, manner or form; nojr have. I writ ten a letter, made a speech or even attended -a political meeting during this campaign. IS THIS NOT CONTEMPTIBLE, TO TRY TO STAB MR. MANNING OVER MY SHOULDER IN THE "LAST MOMENTS OP THE CAMPAIGN? Who is this J. L. Day? Is he the same J. L. Day who was promoting fake prize fights here until John Manning, when District Attorney, got after him? Is this the same J. L. Day that the papers report, while attending a Laffdrty meeting on the East Side, ex pectorated in the eye of a Minister of the Gospel? Is this J. L. Day, formerly known as Jack OT)ay, following his master, Lafferty's, method of changing his name? Are not Lafferty and the Broadway bridge cause sinking to a pretty low level when they depend on such a champion who has written himself down as fit for the head of the class of Roosevelt's Ananias Club? . , CHARLES K.
