ington. Aug-. 4. Portland will have the
privilege. August 13 of entertaining al
lied aviators who have won glory and
renown over the battlefields of Eu
rope, and will be treated to motion pic
tures showing the modern war plane
In action The distinguished party of
allied aviators came to this country
with the r-'rench, British and Italian
missions, and are coming: to the Pacific
Coast to tell of the i.nportant part the
airplane plays in modern war. Inci
dentally, they are to confer with men
who .ire to produco the spruce that
hereafter is to go in large quantities
rot only into American airplanes, but
ins aircraft of the three alii 1 powers.
The pa-ty is in charge of K. T. Allen,
f Portland, who represents the lumber
committeo of council representing the
aircraft board. Other members? Lieutenant-Colonel
L. W. B. Rees. of the
Royal Flying Corps (British): Major
Kaffaele Perfettl. of the Italian mis
sion; Captain Henry Dourif, of the
French aviation service; V. C. Cha
tieayne, manager of the Curtiss Air
facturers. to make plain their technical
requirements: Howard E. Jayne and K.
A. Douty. representii.gr the Pacific
Coast spruce men.
Captain Doorlf Partly American.
Captain Henry Dourif. representative
of the French aviation service, was en
gaged in the manufacture of chemicals
at Huntington. W. Va.. when the wax
broke out. He had been in this coun
try several years, livir.T at 1 if fin, O..
and at Huntington. He returned to
France immediately, arriving early In
September, and joined his regiment
an artillery regiment of the famous
French 7as. At thia time he had never
flow-n.
As a technical man he was set at
work developing and perfecting the
existing methods of locating the enemy
artillery from the ground work which
was perrormed at that time chiefly by
placing several observer- at various
points along the front line of trenches
to watch the flashes of the enemy
guns, the distance and location of the
battery in question being then calcu
lated by the angles from which the
various spotters took their observa
tions. Airplane spotting was then prac
tically unknown, as the French had
very few machines and had not learned
to use them to their full capacity.
Colonel Rees la Hero.
Colonel Rees, of the Royal Flying
Corps, one of the comparatively few
men in the British army who wears
both the Victoria Crosif and the Dis
tinguished Service Order, came to the
United States with the British mission
almost directly from the front, after
being severely wounded in action.
Colonel Rees got the Victoria Cross
for his exploit in driving back single
handed across the German lines a
squadron of ten German planes.
He attacked the squadron, sometimes
one and sometimes two or three at a
time, with the result that all were
either brought down or driven back.
Three of them are known to have
fallen and several others descended be
hind their own lines in a cripplied con
dition. When the fight was over he
returned to his own lines, remarked
only that he had been In a slight mix
up and went to the hospital without
telling anything about his grea ex
ploit. It waH only when observers froni
the front-line trenches came, in a few
hours later and asked who the man
was who had defeated ten German ma
chines that the other officers in Rees"
squadron knew of his accomplishment.
Major Raffaele Perfettl, of the Ital
ian mission, is probably as familiar
with the whole development of Euro
pean aviation, both technical and gen
eral, as any man alive. He has been
connected with the Italian aviation
service for seven years, first In the
dirigible and then in the airplane
branch of the service.
Major Perfettl was In the United
States from February, 1915, to Septem
ber, 1916, as agent for the Italian gov
ernment to purchase raw materials for
aircraft and dirigibles.- He was for
many months at London as tha technical
representative of hia government, and
while there was known as a strong and
capable man. He has visited all of the
war fronts, has made many observation
trips over the enemy lines and has
been thoroughly familiar through per
sonal visits with conditions at the
front. "

Outbreak Chauffeur Comes to
Rescue in Time.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Aug. 4. (Spe
cial.) Mary and Lottie Pickford, the
famous sisters of the motion-picture
world, and their mother unwittingly
starred in a melodramatic episode
staged in the Pickford home at 1619
Korth Western avenue yesterday.
Katherine Ripklne, a maid in the
Pickford house, piayed the part of tha
"heavy" by attacking Miss Lottie Pick
ford with a hatpin as the climax to a
scene in which she was discharged, the
police were told.
Mrs. Pickford and her two talented
daughters were lunching when the at
tack was precipitated by a remark
made by Miss Lottie Pickford concern
ing an incorrigible girl. The maid, who
has been in the United States but a
ahort time and has but little knowl
edge of Emgrish. It is said, believed
that the remark was aimed at her.
Betsing a .stpln as a weapon, the maid
made a lunge at Miss Pickford.
The startled cries of the women
brought a chauffeur running to the
house, who succeeded in getting tha
weapon away from the assailant. Pa
trolman Peter Bradley took the maid
into custody. In court this afternoon
she was placed under ball of $50. While
the policeman was taking the woman
away from the Pickford home Miss
Mary Pickford made her a present of
$6, in addition to her wages.

Bianca De Saulles.
TRAGEDY STILL MYSTERY
Sister of Victim Says Woman En
tered Llvlng-Kooin, Demanding
Son, and Shot Was Fired
in Presence of Boy.
NEW TOItK, Aug. 4. Plans for the
defense of Mrs. Bianca Errazurjz De
Saulles. the beautiful Chilean heiress,
who. ladt night, ehot and killed her
former husband. John Longer De
Saulles. in a, dispute over the custody
of their child, were today being made
by attorneys summoned to confer with
the young woman, now a prisoner in
the Mineola Jail on a charge of first
degree murder.
Mrs. De Saulles. according to the
prison officials, remained remarkably
cool and self-possessed today and
showed no indications of remorse.
From the jail last night she called
up-somebody In New York on the tele
phone, according to Sheriff Seaman,
held a conversation, which he said,
on her part, was in a light vein. After
she had said -that .she had shot De
Saulles "because ha would not give
me back by baby," tha voice at the
other end of the wire exclaimed: "My
God! My God!"
"Oh. people make me tired saying
My God"" the Sheriff quoted her as
saying.
Boy Witness of Tragedy.
The 44-year old boy, John Longer
De Saulles, Jr., possession of whom
led to the tragedy, saw his mother
fire the bullets into his father's body,
according to Mrs. Carolina Degener,
sister of De Saulles. who was present
at the shooting and today told of the
circumstances of the event.
Mrs. Degener said that the killing
took place In the living-room and not
on tha piazza of tha De Saulles home,
and that when the child's mother en
tered his father was reading to him.
Mrs. De Saulles demanded her- boy,
and when the husband denied her re
quest she brought her right hand from
behind her back, holding a revolver.
De Saulles was shot down as he turned
to flee.
Mystery still shrouds today the rea
son for the killing.
The police believe that quarrels over
the custody of their young son was
the only cause for the act.
No RcmorM Shown.
Tha shooting came as a climax to
a romance of two continents which
led to the wedding of De Saulles. a
former Yale football star, and. Bianca
Krrazuriz, heiress to one of the great
est estates in Chile and known as one
of the "most beautiful girls in the
'world."
Mrs. De Saulles obtained a divorce
last year, naming a popular Broadway
dancer.
A deposition filed by Deputy Sheriff
Leonard Thorn states that he found
and arrested Mrs. De Saulles with her
maid near the De Saulles house on
Long Island and that Mrs. De Saulles
said:
"Yes. I did the shooting, and I hope
ha will die."
At the Mineola. (Long Island) Jail It
was said that Mrs. De Saulles passed
a restfur night and seemed cool and
unshaken this morning. She was
charged with first-degree murder.
