supposed that the bids would be pub

before being made public
FOrty-One proposals were received a
much greater number than for the dirig-
ible balloons. II IS understood that the
Wright Brothers, Prof. Alexander
Graham Bell, and practically every
other inventor of note in aer0nautics
submitted plans. Most Of those con
tanned letters requesting secrecy. II is,
Therefore. believed that the proposals
and plans submitted will never be made
public, but that the War Depart ue0t

told him the reason she must say NO 20
It was a wonderful story, wonderfully

against $4,000 on the first one. the
cost TO the Thaw family was about

VAGRANCY LAW DEFECTIVE,
SAYS MAJOR SYLVESTER

In commenting today upon the letter
forwarded by Senator Stewart to TIE
Commissioners regarding the necessity
for a more stringent vagrancy law in
the District. Major Sylvester said that
the communication corresponded in a
measure TO the recommendation made by
him in his annual reports.
The vagranCy law in the District ap-
plies generally to persons OF I'll repute
and those who are known by the pO-
lice to be habitual druukaTdS. IN many
instances, II is said, IL is difficult to
obtain sufficient evidence to secure con-
viCtiOn. The Corporation Counsel, IL is
understood, will be asked 10 suggest
an amendment to the present law by
which its defects may be remedied.
