Petitions are being prepared, it is said,
by members of the American Federation

ARMY OFFICERS NEEDED.
Gen. Funston Says Increased Pay Is
Bringing in More Enlisted Men.

Gen. Funston. in his annual report to
the War Department as commander of
the Department of California, expresses
the hope that the department will succeed
in it's efforts to obtain an additional num-
Der of officers to fill the places of those
on detached duty from their organiza-
tions. He adds that this is vital ques-
ton greatly affecting the efficiency of the
army.
The beneficial results anticipated from
recent legislation increasing the pay of
the army" says Gen. Funston, "are al
ready becoming apparent Company
commanders report that a much larger
proportion of desirable men are re-enlist-
ing than was formerly the case and that
many former soldiers are returning to the
service. The feeling akin to hopelessness
that has hung over the army since the
close of active operations in the Philip
pine Islands have given way to a better
spirit. and as a result of greater con-
tentment, there is an increased interest
in the performance of duty, and conse-
quently in efficiency. Our officers no
longer feel that they have been set to
making bricks without straw"

speed was announced as 80. ID miles per
hour.
To those who have witnessed Wrights
fights from the beginning, the results.
marvellous as they are. are now regarded
as matter of course. But the majority
of those who witnessed yesterdays long
flight were reused to great enthusiasm
when the aviator. for the third successive
day, broke his best previous record.
Couple of Figure "S's!"
Fifty-seven times the machine passed
over the starting point during the sew
enty minutes and twentyfour seconds
that 1t was up. Twice the aeroplanist
described the figure 'S," showing for
the first time during his Fort Myer
flights that he could control his machine
in any direction.
A feature of the landing was that he
did not stop the motor until the ma
chine touched the ground.
Octave Chanute. one of the foremost
aeronauts in the country, arrived at Fort
Myer yesterday.

in aeronautics in an unusual way" said

Problems Of Warfare.
The chance remark of a sergeant of
artillery at Fort Myer during the aero
plane flights was the basis for a dis
cussion of oneaof the most important
features of the governments interest in
aerial craft for purposes of war. The
discussion took place at dinner ten
dered to Wright by naval officers.
'Airships aren't any good to launch
a she'll from because you can't get the
centrifugal force that is necessary to
hit an object" was the proposition pro-
pounded by the sergeant.
The idea which the non-commissioned
officer intended to convey was that the
whirling motion given a shell by the
modern steel -bore guns could not be ac-
complished in dropping an explosive
shell from an airship.
The main facts brought out in the
discussion of the aeroplane as an instru-
ment of war We're that a machine such
as that of the Wright brothers would
be practically invulnerable as a target
for the enemy's guns; that with a little

target practice an explosive could be
dropped on a war vessel with damaging
results and that the aerial war craft
could be launched from the deck Of a
battleship.
Wright said he had made experiments
with swinging weight to see how close
ly he could hit objects over which he
was flying.
II found that after a little practice
it became comparatively easy to put
the weight just where I wanted to-"
said Wright "One allowance which
must be made is the effect Of a wind
striking the course Of the airship at
right angles
"On your present machine, how much
weight could be added in the shape Of
a gum" Wright was asked by Lieut..
Sweet, the naval officer detailed to OBJ
serve the Fort Myer aeronautical tests.
"One hundred and fifty pounds,
Wright replied.
The merits of launching an explosive
from a gun were then discussed. Wright
said there would not be a sufficient
kick to cause the aeroplane to diverge
from its course. A shell could be dropped
into the funnel of a warship, causing ter
rible damage to the machinery and COM
pleting it's work of destruction by burst
ing the boilers.
present that attacks could be made by a
number of aeroplanes as is now done by
the torpedo boats. 1t was pointed out
that the greater cheapness of the aero
plane, and the fact that but one life for
each ship would be sacrificed, would make
these attacks much more economical from
both humanitarian and a monetary
viewpoint.
That aeroplanes would be of great
value to the life-saving stations along
the coast has been suggested by the
flights of Orville Wright at Fort Myer.
After the storm has subsidized and the
wind has gone down it would be quite
simple for an aeroplane to reach strand
ed ship with life line before it would be
possible for a boat to leave the shore in
the heavy surf pounding the ship to
pieces.
The operator would also be perfectly
safe. as he would be provided with life
preservers, and should an accident hap
pen to his motor he could be easily pulled
ashore by means of the line he would
carry to the stranded ship.

sired additional time to make improve
mentS
Herring said he was not surprised at
the record-breaking flights of Orvlle
Wright at Fort Myer, and spoke con-
fidently of the possibility of taking a
trip to Chicago in his aeroplane.
With my engines working as fully ex-
pect them to-" he said, II could fly to Chi
cago without STOP
Herring believes the question of
equilibrium has been solved by him in
his machine, which, he said, is stronger
than the Wright acceptance, and weighs
much less.
More Time for Herring.
Secretary of War Wright today granted
the further extension of thirty days asked
by A. NJ. Herring for the delivery of his
aeroplane at Fort Myer.
Herring has been already granted one
thirty-day extension. The present extern
sion will carry the date for the delivery of
his machine up to October 49,
There has been considerable irritation
over these repeated delays. But the sig
nal office thought that as the government
had nothing to lose in granting the ex-
tension it was better to be as lenient as
possible, SO as not to subject the War
Department to criticism for being unduly
harsh with aerial inventors.

MAY GO HARD WITH CUDDY
EVANGELIST LIKELY TO FACE
CHARGE OF LIBEL.
Attacks Religious Views of Republi-

ter Submitted to Authorities.

Evangelist w. A. Cuddy may have to
face charge of criminal libel in connec-
ton with the distribution of a quarterly
publication known as the Prophetic Alarm
and said to have been issued by him. In
which he attacks the religious views of
the republican nominee for President
The matter has been called to the at
tention of the police and a copy Of the
publication forwarded to United States
Attorney Baker. Mr.. Baker is now con-
sidering the question as to whether or
not the language used by the evangelist
constitutes criminal libel. Should he de-
eide affirmatively the matter may go to
the grand jury.
The front page of the publication COM
planned Of declares in bold type that the
election Of Mr.. Taft would be an insult
to God. Under the heading THE Para
mount Issue Mr.. Cuddy's publication
warns the American people that the re-
ligion of Jesus Christ is at stake in the
approaching election. The article attacks
the Unitarian faith, to which Mr. Taft
subscribes, and calls on the priests and
preachers of Christianity to do all in their
power to defeat his election.

HOWARD ON THE SINEpUXEN1
HEAD OF OYSTER NAVY BOARDS
SIX OFFENDING BOATS.
No Arrests Made Despite Issuance of
Thirty-One Warrants Against
Oystermen.

OCEAN CITY, Md. September 12.-De-
spite the fact that six oyster boats were
overhauled and boarded in Sinepuxent
bay yesterday afternoon by Commander
Howard of the state oyster navy and his
five men, who arrived on the scene of the
oyster piracy that morning, not one ar
rest was made and not one warrant serv-
ed against the pirates by the county au-
thorities.
Yesterdays operations in the warfare
against the previously defiant oystermen
were a disappointment here to those who
expected quick and decisive work just
as soon as the state police took charge
Of the situation.
Thirty-one warrants were held by the
sheriff for the arrest of pirates against
whom the states attorney has evidence.
Not one of these was served, and Sheriff
Townsend could not say when any would
be.
The sheriff declined yesterday afternoon
to remain with the police boat for a raid
on the tongers last night, even though he
was urged by Commander Howard to
do so.
Council of War Held.
At 3 o'clock Commander Howard,
States Attorney w. E. Johnson and
Sheriff Townsend met at Public Landing,
twenty miles below Ocean City, where
council of war was held, and this con-
sumed two hours. While the consul
tation was in progress the police, dep
uty sheriff, spectators and newspapermen
fished from the pier. The outcome of
the elaboration was a milder plan of
campaign than was expected.
Six sloops and skipjacks. which were
lying a few miles off, were inspected.
their crews and oysters examined. and
then they were left in peace. The whole
proceeding was tame. No resistance was
made and no aggression shown. When
the inspection was finished the power
boats containing the oyster police and the
sheriff's party quietly returned to the
landing.
Only After Future Offenders.
Efforts were made to learn why imme
date arrests were not made. Commander
Howard said that he was not here TO
serve warrants for past violations, but to
detect present offenders and prevent fu-
ture depredations.
States Attorney Johnson, who brought
the Sinepuxent situation to head by his
appeal to the governor for state aid, said
that the arrests would be attempted Mon
day. and Sheriff Townsend. who is
charged with the duty. declared that
Monday was soon enough to take the Vio-
lators of the law into custody.
Last night Commander Howard and his
men were in the northern section Of the
bay, looking for any venturesome tong
ers who may have the boldness to work
on the rocks under the cover OF dark
ness.
The commander will leave here today
for Baltimore, to stay until Monday,
when he expects to return here for fur
Their action.
