POSSIBLY AN EXCEPTION.
Commissioners May Permit Political
Banners to Swing Across Streets.

The democratic central committee has
finally presented its formal request to the
Commissioners for permission to suspend
banner across Pennsylvania avenue, at
point midway between 9th and 10th streets
northwest Mr.. ]. Fred Kelley of the cen
trail committee this morning called on Com
missioner West and asked permission to
stretch the banner. which is to bear the
pictures Of Candidates Parker and Davis.
Mr.. Kelley In making his request Of Com
missioner West stated that he and all citi-
gems of Washington agree that the avenue
and other streets OF the national capital
should not be used for advertising pur-
poses. He argued. however, that the BAN
ner the central committee proposed to
stretch across the avenue should not be
elassed In the same category with adver-
Using banners. as political banner was
devoid of commercialism.
Mr.. Kelley said that the people take a
pride in their candidates for the presidency,
and that the displaying of banners bearing
pictures of the candidates was sort of ex-
preston of national political pride. In all
other cities political banners are hung. A
presidential election he pointed out occurs
only once every four years, and the parti-
sans ought to be permitted to fiaunt their
banners once in four years He assured
Commissioner West that the committee
would not make a similar request for an
other four years at least.
Mr.. West replied that he would consider
the request. He agreed that there should
be distinction between political banners
and banners for advertising purposes. He
said he realized that the two were not the
same in character or purpose. Mr.. West
also stated that In the event he granted
the request of the democratic central COM
mittee, he would also have to grant the re-
quest Of the republican central committee
to suspend banners, in case the latter pre-
sented a request. It seems probable that
the Commissioners will make an exception
in the case of the political banners during
presidential campaigns.
Chairman Norris of the democratic CEN
trail committee, when asked as to how long
the banner would remain. in the event per-
mission was given to suspend 1t, replied:
THE banner will remain over Pennsyl-
vania avenue until President Parker and
Vice President Davis ride along the ave-
nue. on their way to the White House and
to the Inaugural ceremonies at the Capt.
toll"
"Col." Perry Carson, who is considered
locally as somewhat of q prognosticator
himself. from the political standpoint, when
told of this statement remarked:
1.-The democratic banner will probably re-
main over the avenue for long, long time.

cent from the Worlds Fair aero
nautic concourse in L. S. Baldwin 5
airship, the California Arrow. >
When released, the airship rose
rapidly and evenly to a height of
about 1000 feet and was navigated
in every direction, showing that
the ship was entirely under con-
troll. A crowd of several thousand
people in the concourse and about
the Worlds Fair grounds watched
the ascent. While at a great
height the wheels of the air
ship, which are in the Prov OF the
craft. could be plainly seen revolv-
ing at great speed as the operator
steered into the wind. All parts
of the machine seemed to be under
complete control. Il was not the

PUBLIC DEBT
SHOWS INCREASE
Increase Accounted for By Decrease of
Over $4,000. 900 in Cash on Hand
in the Treasury and Banks.

| Washington, November 1.-The
monthly statement of the public
debt shows that, at the close Of
business Oct. l the public debt less
cash in the Treasury amounted tc
1886, 7S7, 652, which is all increase
for the month of 81, 404, us.
This increase is principally &C
counted for by decrease of S.,
061, sos in the amount of cash on
hand.
The debt is recapitulated as fol-
lows:
Understanding debt, SS95, 49,
$50; debt on which interest is ceas-
ed since maturity, 81, 627, 700; debt
bearing no interest, S5S6,354,G79;
total, 81, 2SS, 140, 449.
This amount, however, does not
include 81 ,021, $50, 969 certificates
of Treasury notes outstanding,
which are Offset by an equal amount
of cash on hand held for their re-
demption.
The cash in the Treasury is clas-
sihed as follows:
Gold reserve fund, $3.50, 900, 900;
trust funds, 1,O21, $50, 800; gen
eral fund, Sis, OPS, 429; in Nation
al repositories, S114, 558, 4S1; in
Philippine Treasury, S., 794,5o9.
Total, 81, 400, 1899, against
which there are demand liabilities
outstanding amounting to s., 113,
$50, 593, which leaves a cash bal
ance on hard of 1926, 352,797.

ty in the State and nation is re-
sponsible for our wrongs, and our

velt's supposed friendship for labor
blind you to those facts in the
story of our wrongs.

tons, labor of Colorado calls to the
labor of the nations for help. Strike

Firm and Able Rule of Diaz

There is no sentiment involved
in the placing of a government loan
in a foreign country. 1t is mat
ter of bargain aud sale; but the &C
ceptance of a Mexican loan by
American investors is a mark OF
their confidence in the Diaz gov
eminent and the ability of Mexico
to meet its obligations. which is
likely to cement the friendship OF
the two nations.
1t is gratifying to know that the
proceeds of the loan will contribute
to the upbuilding of a neighboring
country in whose welfare the Unit
ed States is deeply interested on
the commercial side.
Twenty-Five years ago Mexico
had only 40 piles of railroads. In

to the assembled thousands the
dirigibility of the airship. After a
flight of twenty-six minutes, dur
ing which time Knabenschue
steered the ship in every direc-
ton, he returned to the concourse
breasting an eight mile wind, and
landed in the same spot from which
the start was made. Thousands of
shouting spectators gathered about
the airship and. taking it on their
shoulders, attempted to carry it
about the concourse, cheering for
Knabenschtle and calling for Bald
win.
The successful flight came as a
climax to day full of discourage
ments. Baldwin and Knabenschue
had worked for twenty-six hours
without sleep in order to prepare
for the flight, and the first essay at
an ascent with Baldwin himself in
command of the airship had ended
disastrously, the Arrow falling sud-
denly to the ground and breaking
one of the blades of the propeller.
After a hasty examination Bald
win announced that the damage
could be repaired at once and said
that Knabenschue would attempt
another flight in half an hour.
The crowd cheered the announce
ment and patiently awaited while
the repairs were being made.
At the time Baldwin had stated
the airship was again brought on
the aerodrome. Captain Baldwin,
after the flight, was extremely OPP
tinistic regarding the future Of the
airship.
I had about determined to,leave
St. Louis, said he. In fact, we
have taken the Arrow apart and
had it packed ready for shipment
when arrangements were made with
the Worlds Fair company for adj
ditional flights. Now 1 will not
be content to leave before I have
had several trials for that $780, 600
prize. The conditions are very
severe, but I think the Arrow can
make the required distance within
the time limit.
