AlRSHIP THAT GOES.
DIR. Greth Starts on Fifty Mile Trip
Under Auspicious Conditions.

San Francisco. Gala, May DIR
August Greth, accompanied by an as
sistant, started today in his airship of
sfstant, started today in his airship on
this city. The ascent was made from
the grounds on Eleventh street near
Market where the aerial craft has been
located for some time. After reaching
an elevation of several hundred feet,
DE- Greth, the inventor. who acted as
helmsman, caused the vessel to circle
about and move in various directions
demonstrating that it was under his
control. He then headed it SOUTH al
most directly against the wind, and
started on a. bee line for San Jose, at
which city he hoped to make a landing.
The airship, Obeying the force of it's
light motor, made good progress and
was soon out of sight.
Fair progress was made by the aero
nauts until the line between San Fran
cisco and San Mateo counties was
reached. The airship obeyed its helm
and though. it's speed was not great, it
responded quickly to the will of its in
Ventor. While passing over the town
of Coloma. one of the valves of the en-
CINE became clogged and refused to
work. This necessitated a descent,
which was made without accident. AL
though he did not reach his destination
DR.. Greth considers his voyage, which
lasted over an hour, has demonstrated

navigation.

The last report of the secretary of
the senate shows that during the pre-
ceding year the United States fur
nished to senators wrist bags. hand
kerchief cases, manicure sets, not to
speak of cologne, complexion restorers,
and smelling salts. and 10000 quinine
pills; with a little further latitude of
construction napery and cut glass can
be drawn out of the contingent fund.
So the senators need not fear their
new quarters viii lack any Of the com
forts of home. Legislating for so great
a nation as the United States is a task
of such difficulty that special care of
those to whom it is confded is neces-

judgments might be clouded. So the
senate's new s3,00O 600 refectory, if it
is to be considered such, is not to be
idly denounced as an expression of the
spirit of luxury. It may be defended
as an aid to legislation, and the money
invested viii, of course, pay handsome
dividends

The result of Doodle trials in the
Missouri courts is summed up by the
Minneapolis Journal as follows: the
10 St Louis aldermen, prosecuted and
convicted by Joseph Folk, are all at
large, although some of them were
convicted more than two years ago.
Ed Butler. the boss boodler of St.
Louis, made famous by Lincoln stef-
fens. was released by the supreme
court, and ten Kansas City. Kan, Off
Gals indicted by the grand jury for
boodling, have been given their liberty
without trial on a mere technicality."

AIDING LEGISLATION.

IFrom the New York GIobe1
When the conference report on the
sundry civil bill was made to the
house, and it appeared that there was
concurrence to the senate amendment
for the erection of the senate's new
office building. there was objection.
Mr.. De Almond declared inasmuch as
each senator now had a large and
spacious room. that to expend So. 900.
600 for new quarters would be waste.
Mr.. Littleheld, who had been doing
some figuring, declared the proposal
was to expend $50. 900 to house each
senator few hours day, while SOS. 900
would provide a house and furnishings
far better than that now occupied by
the average senator in Washington.
Chairman Hemenway Of the commit
tee on appropriations replied that the
house conferrees had urged that the
proposed extension to the capitol would
be sufficient. but that the senate had
been adamantine in insistence upon
the new building, and it has been nee
essary to yield to secure harmony.
So, as soon as the architects and
builders can do their work at an ex-
pense of $4,000 per senator, another
step is to be taken toward making the

senator, paraphrasing the remark of
Nero when he moved into the Golden
House, may exclaim: AT last I am
housed like a senator" The sum set
aside is manifestly ample not only to
provide offices and anterooms, but also
the dining rooms and refrfgerators of
which the worthy senators have so
much felt the need since the senate
canteen was closed. When the new
quarters are complete it will. doubtless,
