Opposes state Alrshlp Fund.

Friedrichshafen.- Zeppelin, 1t
was said, is entirely opposed to plan
suggested to Emperor William by
Walter Rathenau, president of the
German Electric Company, and who is
also director of an airship company.
This plan is for the organization that
everywhere in Germany are being
subscribed for Count Zeppelin's use in
carrying out his experiments in aerial
navigation, and administer them part
ly in Zeppelin's behalf and also to
treat them as national fund for gen
eral airship purposes from which to
make appropriations for further other
airship experiments. 1t is not known
whether Emperor William has ap-
proved this plan or that anything will
come of 1t.
The counts co-workers aver that he
will vigorously resist any such scheme
Of guardianship over the large sums
already sent him as tributes to his
personality and zeal and for use in
continuing building airships along his
own lines.
Besides money, Count Zeppelin has
received gifts of large quantities of
wines, cigars, sweetmeats, groceries,
and neckties, and variety of other
articles.

Gen. Grant Much Pleased.

Burlington, Vt.-With all of the 15
army officers in perfect physical con-
dition, although trife lame and
fatigued, the three days endurance
test was ended at fort Ethan Allen
Wednesday night and the command
was dispersed by Gen. Frederick
Grant, who has had charge of the
affair.
The men have gone on an average
of 30 miles day, making the total
distance covered by the troop 80 miles
in "a hours and A minutes. This is
just 16 minutes within the time al
lotted to them.
Gen. Grant stated after the test was
over that his men had stood 1t well
and that he was very much pleased
with results. He said that there had
been no complaint or sign Of distress
since the march began. He did not
think that the march of the last three
days was quite as severe as was the
test given year ago, when 15 miles
was done in one day by rapid march
ing.

Everything Harmonious.

Hot Springs, Va-"Everything was
as harmonious as possible and no one
was laid across my knee and spanked"
This was Judge Tafts genial remark
the other night in concluding a detail
ed account of his allday conference
with Frank II. Hitchcock, Republican
national chairman, and Arthur l.
Vorys, his chief of staff
Chairman Hitchcock announced af-
ter the first conference which con-
tinued for three hours, that 1t could
be stated in formal and official man.
ner that Mr.. Taft would make no
speeches outside the city of Clncin-
so officially announced that Mr.. Taft
would continue the policy he had al
ready adopted and followed, of not
mixing in local political contentious
in any state or of taking any part
whatever in behalf of any candidate
for nomination for state office.
This announcement is intended as
an answer, first to the demand that
Mr.. Taft decide the merits of the con-
testants in the West Virginia split, and
second that he expresses a preference
for or against Gov. Hughes in the
New York state gubernatorial situa-
tion.
Taking up the narrative of the days
work, Mr.. Taft said:
I'VE went over the situation in
every state where 1t is recognized that
a vigorous campaign must be made
Particular attention was given to
Maine and Vermont not because of any
doubt as to the situation in those
states, but because the election there
is held earlier than in other states.
Gov. Hughes, 1t is stated, undoubtedly
would be one Of the speakers in those
two states, in addition to his accept
ance of an invitation to open the Ohio
campaign at Youngstown. Secretary
James Wilson of the department of
agriculture has consented to speak in
Vermont and Maine, likewise Secretary
Straus of the department of commerce
and labor and Rev. DR.. John Wesley,
pastor of the Metropolitan Temple,
New York"
John Hays Hammond of Massachu-
setts conferred with Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Hitchcock on plan he has prepared
for the participation of the National
league of Republican clubs in the COM
ing campaign.

A NEW YORK OUTLET.
The New Haven Railroad Wants Tun,
mel In the Metrnnolla.

The New Haven Railroad Wants Tun'
mel In the Metropolis.
New Work-The possibility that the
N. Y, N. II. & II. II. r. will become
a bidder for subway franchise in this
, city was indicated, recently, by Pres.
Charles S. Mellen of that road at a
hearing before the public service com.
mission here. Mr.. Mellen appeared
in connection with the New York a
Portchester railroad franchise mat
ter, witnesses being examined in an
swer to complaint that the Portches-
ter company has failed to proceed with
the construction of the line as its fran
chise provides.
After Pres. Mellen had explained
that the delay was caused by the me-
cessity of awaiting the decision of the
New York court of appeals on the val
idity Of the franchise of the New York,
Westchester & Boston road. prac-
tically parallel line, the witness ex-
planned that the New Haven company,
to handle properly its suburban traf.
fic, must secure an entrance into the
heart of New York without change
of cars.
Mr.. Mellen said that he did not be-
lieve that there could ever be a thor
oughly satisfactory development Of
the New Haven's committing business
unless trains could come right straight
through to their destination, whether
ba nft hnl
elsewhere.
An interesting point was brought
out when Commissioner Eustis asked
President Mellen II the public service
commission should lay out subway
for the East Side, say along I'd ave or
Sd avenue, the New Haven road would
be willing to construct it. Pres. Mel
len replied: "Mr. Commissioner, did
not expect you were going to ask me
to touch off dynamite here today But
will say that we must find some way
of getting our passengers into the
heart of New York to their destina-
tions."
Much interest was aroused by Mr..
Mellen's intimation that the New Hav-
en-, under certain conditions, might
become a bidder for the construction
of subway route, further references
to which were made in his later testi-
mony. Mr.. Mellen testified that he
thought that within two years after
the legal difficulties are disposed of
the Portchester-Wes Westchester road
could be completed.
1T is inevitable that the New Haven
road will have to take care of its
present commuter business and a
large increase which it has the right
to expect from the electrification,"
said Mr.. Mellen, land it must have
some other means of bringing that
business down into the heart of the
city. 1t would naturally prefer to use
its existing line, but it must take care
of the business, and IL 1t cannot use
existing lines it must do the next best
thing. l hope to make arrangements
with other companies to have the
trains run through without transfer,
and l might say that IL cannot make
arrangements with other companies
/ may be obliged to come directly to
the commission and ask for such an
arrangement"
Mr.. Mellen later on suggested that
he had an idea that 1t would be well
to form New York corporation which
would take over the whole New Haven
line within New York state.
