DIES AT ADVANCED AGE
.' '..
Chicago," Nov. 24.- Octave Chanute,
the "father of the aeroplane.' Is dead
at his home in Chicago after an fllness
of several weeks,- ' . ' v
Widely known as an engineer of many
accomplishments, Mr. Chanute was also
the originator, of the 4ieavier-tlian-alr
craft When, several years ago he be
gan experimenting with horizontal kites,
he was considered at least eccentric His
persistence resulted, however, in .? the
Chanute glider, whlcf was nothing more
nor less than the modern biplane with
out an engine.; Chanuba was able to
glide several yards in a strong wind by
manipulating wings. An engine mount
ed on this and a principle of warping
wings for equilibrium gave the Wrights
their machine and others followed. -
Octave Chanute was born In Paris In
1832, arriving , in America with his par

Before leaving last Sunday for a -
weeks' trip through the south, S. i; -son
the millionaire tlmberman, r
nounced that he had not abandoned 1'
plan i building a hotel on his bio- .
at Seventeenth and Couch streets, i
the contrary, he declared that if t
could find a suitable manager he wouM
build and furnish a magnificent -hotel
covering' tall of the block bounded by
Seventelnth, Eighteenth, Couch and Kin
vis streets.
Several weeks ago Mr. Benson made
proposition to a coterie of .-wealth
men at the Commercial club that he
would build' a 10 Story hotel -on the
block, provided a company-were organ
ized with a paid up capital of 3250,000
for the purpose of furnishing and oper
ating the new hostelry.
An effort was made to comply with
the requirement of Mr. Benson, but it
1 understood - that ; only - about ; $200,
000 iaS subscribed to the stock of -the
hotel company. r The" latest, report is
to the effect that, the promoters of the
company to -operate the proposed hotel
has about decided, to abandon the en
terprise, finding it impracticable to interest-local
capital in the venture to
the extent i required by Mr. Benson.
W, H, Holmes- formerly manager c f
the Green Hoter at Pasadena and lat
er of the 0. 8, Grant Hotel at fan Di
go, is said to be the man that Benson
Is negotiating with to manage the pro
jected new hostelry. At any rate, Mr.
Benson Is In the south accompanied by
Attorney E- E, Coovert. his confidential
adviser, and it Is known that he ex
pects to be In both Pasadena and San
Diego within the next three or four
weeks. , .
W. It Holmes Is one of the bist
known and most successful hotel men
on the Pacific coast and the prospect
of his coming here to assume the man
agement of the proposed Benson hotel
Is regarded with pleasure by the hotel
patrons of this city. . ,. v
