COMING.

All signs indicate that there is some
mediate future in the form of business
expansion. While the people of Omaha
and of this section of the west suf-
fered least from the industrial de-
preston of last year and, therefore,
had less ground to regain to get back
to the high record mark of business
prosperity, the restoration of normal
conditions in the east is already pro-
ducing a reflex stimulus out here.
While not predicting a repetition of
the old boom days with their accom-
paniment of wild speculation, The Bee
voices the sentiment of the shrewdest
and most careful observers in the
community in forecasting a steady and
unprecedented growth of our business
institutions along with the acquisition
of many new Industrial concerns.
Omaha real estate values are sure
to increase in all sections of the city
that have not been overinfiated and
building operations are in sight or in
contemplation hat will go far to com.
plete the transformation of the city
already well begun by the erection Of
substantial warehouses, store build.
ings, Office buildings and residences.
All this activity is bound to beget
for us new population which, as the
army of consumers, furnishes the life
blood to the arteries of retail trade.
Unless all these signs fIil, there is
something coming to Omaha and some
thing to which all interested in the
city's growth and prosperity may looE
forward to with confidence,

"a Gross Miscarriage of Justice"
Springfield Republican.

bGTIIbIINIU INVpUUIIOdH
A good many people who have followed
the case of the government against the
Standard Oil company at Chicago agree
with President Roosevelt in thinking that
the decision of the circuit court of APP
peals against the government and In IA
vor Of the company involves a gross mis-
carriage of justice. The gross impro-
priety of the presidents saying so is to
be conceded, but of the correctness of
such an opinion there is much reason for
making no question. 1t is to be hoped,
therefore,, that the government will sue
coed in an effort to have the whole case
brought for review before the United
states supreme court. 1t should not be
left where 1t is by the refusal of the cir
cult court Of appeals to hear the case
over again. iAI|

VARSITY CONGRESS DEBATE.
Federal Incorporation Subject Of
Discussion Last Night

The second session of the University
Congress Of the George Washington Uni
versity was held last evening in Univer-
sity Hall, 18th and H streets northwest,
at which the question Resolved, that
all corporations engaged in interstate
commerce should be required to incorpor-
ate under federal law was thoroughly
debated
Paca Oberlin in opening the discussion,
said the people of the states were unable
to cope successfully with corporations.
He referred to the fight waged by the gov
eminent officials against the beef trust
several years ago, and advocated the
rigid enforcement of the existing laws.
In the course of his address, Mr.. ODER
lin said:
This measure ought to be passed with
out delay, and any state that discrimi-
mates against foreign corporations is only
hampering the business and development
of our country.
Stanley Kennedy. representing the neg
ative. said the enactment of the law pro-
posed by the subject of the discussion
would only be an injury to small corporal
tions and would aid rich concerns to act
with impunity.
Several other members participated in
the debate. The question decided upon
for discussion next Tuesday even
ing is: Resolved, that the Gompers anti
Injunction plank submitted to the Chi
cago convention be adopted Messrs.
Kennedy and Gates will treat the question
affirmatively. and Messrs. Stull and Run
dell negatively.

EXCELLENT RESULTS ATTAINED
IN LATEST FLIGHTS,
Inventor Delighted With Difficult
Maneuvers Executed Without

FRIEDR1CHSHAFEN June pa sec
ond ascent was made last evening by
Count Zeppelin in his new airship with a
view to testing an improved e-steering
gear which had just been installed. On
the first ascent Count Zeppelin declared
that he was satisfied with everything ex-
cepting the side-steering arrangement,
which had not come up to expectations
This now has been altered and the change
has given excellent results.
The test last night lasted a little over
two hours, during which time the most
difficult maneuvers were carried out
without hitch. The great airship first
circled around the town of Friedrichs-
hafen several times. 1t then departed at
full speed toward Langenargen. where it
crossed to the Swiss side of Lake Con-
stance against light breeze.
Proceeding back across the lake to Lin
dau. the count undertook at a height of
from 300 to 600 feet above the surface
of the water series of maneuvers, in

stopping. thoroughly testing the new ar

direction of the enormous mass in mid

Side-Steering Gear Satisfactory.
After the return to the floating shed
Count Zeppelin said that he was delighted
with his new airship. He added that the
present side-steering gear was entirely
satisfactory, but that he intended to in
stall a larger arrangement and have fur

age.
The count has now returned virtually
to the style of side-steering gear used In
his former balloon. in which a movable
framework covered with canvas is fitted
to each side Of the afrship both fore and
aft. This framework can be extended
and withdrawn according to which direc-
ton 1t is desired to steer. The new
scheme, which proved failure and which
has been abandoned since Saturday &
tests, consisted ,of a framework in the
form Of a gigantic square rudder affixed
at each end of the balloon. its action be-
