It is of the utmost importance, however, that the action taken by Wash ington and Baltimore should be supple mented at the earliest possible opportuni- ty by the indorsement of the Congress of the United States.
 The propriety and desirahility of this Endorsement are manifest. Such action would give an official and natural char acter to the aviation meeting It would demonstrate that the importance of this great international event is fully appre- ciated by the national government as well as by the people of Baltimore and Washington and ali other Americans in tereted in aviation Congress ought not only to be asked to pass resolutions in- dorsing the movement to hold the meet

 Our proposition is absolutely on the square. We operate several other stores, have the most sanitary up-to-date work rooms in the country and make hun dred suits where the ordinary tailor only makes one.
 We employ only the very best Union labor that money can hire, try on all gar ments in the bastng, and unless you are satisfied we don't want your money. | The main reason we can make good clothes for so little money is that we buy our woolens in such enormous quantities | (often taking the entire output of mill.)

 That is why we can make you a suit or overcoat for s to SIS less than | any other good tailor can. | We want you to come and see us. | We want to show you a made up Il sample of the kind of work we do, and | we want to demonstrate to you the folly of wasting your earnings on ready mades I Gmitations) when you can get the real article for no more money. | Try and get around tomorrow. | Yours truly, | SAMUELS & co.

PLANNED TO JUMP HIS BAIL
Statement Made Regarding a Lawyer
Awaiting Trial on a Charge
Of Bribery.

New York, Feb 5.--An attempt to
secure the release on writ OF
habeas corpus of Carl Flscher-Han.
sen, the lawyer now awaiting trial In
the Tombs prison on a charge OF
bribery, was frustrated yesterday by
District Attorney Jerome, who de.
clared to Justice Gerard In the su.
preme court that Fischer Hansen had
made every preparation to jump the
bail of $4,000 originally furnished by
his fatherin-law, Isaac V, Brokaw,
when rearrested and Jailed by order
of the district attorney.
In opposing the release of Fischer.
Hansen, MIR. Jerome made the state.
ment that Mr.. Brokaw in his anxiety
to be rid of his son-in.law had not
only consented to forfeit the $4,000
bail put up by him, but had agreed to
give him an annual income IL he
would consent to a legal separation
from his daughter. Fischer.Hansen,
Mr.. Jerome declared, had accepted
the proposition and even signed an
agreement of separation, but later
mad repudiated IT, refusing to carry
out his part of the agreement unless
a larger allowance were made him.
