craft is forced upward. The greater
the speed the higher the craft rises.
When it has reached a speed which
forces the topmost vanes out of the

the sharpest curves at high speed, and
when this Is done there is no loss of
equilibrium, but the stern skids as do
the rear wheels of an automobile.
Mr.. Hewitt hit upon this principle
for water craft while working on a ma
chine for the navigation Of the air. He
believes that the problems Of both
aerial and water navigation may be
worked out along the same lines. The
highest speed he has attained with his
rough working model is thirty-eight
miles an hour, but he says he is willing
to guarantee that he can build a boat
100 or 200 feet long that will go fifty
five miles an hour, while possibilities
of much higher speed than this are
claimed by experts who have given

Kites Fly For Science.
Word comes from Hyde Park, Mass,
that Blue Hill observatory at that
place will soon be the scene of the
most extensive kite flying experiments
ever conducted In America. The ex
periments will be made simultaneously
and in con- junction with similar fights,
either by kites or balloons, to be made
at more than twenty other stations
throughout the world. The phenom-
ena of the upper air will be studied
and especial attention given to cloud
movements, the object being to make
meteOrology an exact science and to
formulate rules, if possible, that will
permit the forecasting of the weather
with as much certainty and accuracy
as the forecasting of astronomical
events. Some of the observations will
be made upon the ocean in different
parts of the world. The kites are i'm
mense affairs of the box pattern and
exert such tremendous pulling force
that in high wind they will easily
lift 100 pounds.

provision of law that food products
shall not contain substances which
lessen their wholesomeness orders were
issued that no drug. chemical or harm

Against War For Debts.

The American plan for resorting to
arbitration before going to war to col
lect the debts claimed by citizen
against foreign power has been dis
cussed by the arbitration subcom-
mittee Of the peace conference at The
Hague. General Porter explained that
it applied solely to contractual debts
and not to cases Of damages for in
jury to resident aliens. Thus he said
the taxpayers would have to pay the
costs Of war to enrich an individual.
He called attention to the fact that for
the first time the creditor and debtor
nations of the world had been brought
together in friendly conference.
Venezuela presented an amendment
providing against the use Of force even
after the failure of arbitration.
The committee on maritime warfare
reached the first definite conclusion of
the conference when the adaptation of
Red Cross regulations to the conditions
Of naval warfare was approved. The
use Of wireless telegraphy on hospital
ships is to be permitted.
Another decisive victory for the
American delegation was scored when
vote was taken in the committee on
the Geneva convention On the PROPOSE
ton to make private property at sea
inviolable in times of war. The vote
stood twenty-one nations in favor to
eleven against the American proposal,
those favorable being America, Ger
many, Austria-Hungary. Italy, Switzer-
land, Turkey, Sweden, Norway, Den
mark. Holland Belgium, Luxembourg.
Cuba, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador,
Haiti, Dominica, China, Siam and Per-
STA, and those against, Great Britain,
France, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Mon
tenegro, Japan, Mexico. Colombia, Sal
vador and Panama.
The population Of the countries IA
voring aggregates SO4,OOO.OOO and that

100000. although Professor De
Martens of Russia took occasion to re-
mark that the majority of population
would stand vastly against the PROPOSE

largely to the aggressive attitude TAX

A Radical Tammany Programme.
Two resolutions proposed and advo-
Gated by W. Bourke Cochran and
adopted by the governing body of
Tammany Hall, the controlling Demo
cratic organization of New York city,
make a radical political departure.
Both are based on the assumption that
there are three parties to all public
service corporations, those of the COM
munity, of capital and of labor. One
proposes that all corporations engaged
in interstate commerce should include
the president of the United States In
it's board of directors and that all state
corpora tons should include the gov
ernor of the state, while all those OPP
Grating in a single city or town should
include the chief officer of the munich
pality. 1t should be the duty Of these
elective officials to keep constantly in
formed of everything concerning the
operate of these public service cor
porations just as they do now keep
Informed about the mail service or the
cleaning and lighting of streets in the
cities.
1t is proposed also that each corpora
ton holding public franchises should
require its employees to appoint one or
more of their number to sit On the
board of trustees so as to keep the labor
element Informed. Mr.. Cochran thinks
that peace would be promoted if Gi!es-
tons affecting hours or wages wa-a
discussed amicably among equals by a
board with identical interests in COM

LOCALSTOCK MARKET
SLOW BUT STRONG

While THERE was the usual attendance
OF brokers on today's session of the
local stock exchange, there was far
from the usual amount OF business. The
general feeling toward Washington Sc
curities is encouraging, and the fact
that the high prices current as compared
with the figures of ten days ago. has
not materially increased the offerings of
stock, is taken as an indication OK the
confidence investors have in the future
of local investments.
There were moderately large offer
ings or Washington Gas, after the call
OF IS, while sales on call were made
at 747sd75, but had any rs limit orders
been on market It would not have taken
long 10 have absorbed the supply offer
ed at that price The Street Is firm in
the belief that the Georgetown Gas case
now being heard will be decided as
the company would have it. and that
the washington Gas Company viii OBJ
tain a like decision on the question Of
increasing its stocS. This feeling has
been responsible for the upturn and Il
will not down unless the court rules
differently. The highest price on the
present rise is 20 and buyers and sell
erB were not moro than a fraction apart
when the exchange closed.
Mitchell Mining showed positive
strength, with small sales at 1ikr1M as
compared with lss the best bid yester-
day. There was no local reason for any
advance. but the stock simply Eympa-
THU ID with the movement in New York,
where quotations were advanced to 1Ssd
Ia. The plans OF the new management
are yet in embryo, but the street feels
that the elimination Of the Mitchell ele-
ment from control means That hence
forth there will be some future 10 the
