Signal Corps Officers
Watch Wellman's Effort
Washington Bureau of
The Ottumwa Courier,
WASHINGTON. 10. C.. Aug. q

washington, d. c., Aug. 26.
Signal corps officers who have been
reading all of the dispatches relating
to Walter Wellman's failure to get
fairly started on his journey toward
the north pole are making the predic-
ton that if the pole is discovered by
means of dirigible it will be be-
cause of srare good luck.
The prevalence of high winds at
Spitzbergen, and from that point
northward, is looked upon by the avi-
ators of the war department as an OBJ
stacle difficult to overcome with a dir
igible balloon. These officers have
done considerable experimenting with
the dirigible which was purchased
from Captain Thomas Baldwin last
summer. They have flown here in
calm weather an on days when half a
gale was blowing. Their experience in
rough weather has taught them that
the dirigible will be useful only so
long as the atmospheric conditions re-
main favorable. These army officers
do not believe that Count Zeppelin,
with all of his experience, would
the pole than Wellman
Lieutenant Benjamin F. Fulois of
the signal corps, who has had expert
ence in free balloons, dirigibles and
aeroplanes, today expressed the opin-
ion that the high winds in the vicin-
ity of the north pole make it practi-
cally impossible for dirigible to
maintain its Roadway there. He be-
lieved that an aeroplane would stand
a much better chance of reaching the
long sought for goal.
"It has been my experience" said
Lieutenant Fulois, that dirigible
becomes less efficient as the wind
increases. l have no intimate knowl-
edge of the atmospheric conditions
prevailing at Spitzbergen, but from
what | have read l gather that there
is always high wind and that,
therefore, the conditions are seldom
or never favorable for dash for the
pole in dirigible. 1t is my theory
that If the resistance of the wind
could be overcome the problem would
be solved, for l do not agree that
there would be motor trouble or con-
densation of the gas any more than
would be expected elsewhere, provid-
ed, of course, that the proper precau-
tions regarding temperature were
taken when the bag was filed"

The outcome Of the trial must be

Should the death penalty be given
it would be shooting, hanging or any

CUMMINS Tells
OF new RATE PLAN
IOWA SENATOR WOULD GIVE u
s. POWER TO APPROVE OR
MODIFY TARIFFS.

Des Moines, Aug. Ex-senator AL
bert 3. Cummings outlined his plan
for adequate regulation Of railroad
rates, which he has embodied in a bin
to be offered in the Senate when Con-
Eress reconveres.
4 express no opinion with regard to
the soundness of the decision Of the
Circuit Court of Appeals rendered a
day or two ago in Chicago" said SEN
ator Cummings. "The advocates of
defective regulation Of railway rates
have feared this result from the begin
hing.
It is only another instance OF folly
of using indefinite and uncertain lam
guage in order to placate and please
those who were opposed to giving the
Interstate Commerce Commission any
additional authority, and it Is enough
TO say that. assuming Judge Cross
cups construction to be correct, it robs
&he Roosevelt campaign for better reg
alation of railroad rates of its substan-
tial victory and makes another fight
absolutely necessary.
"CowardIy Surrender" Cited.
II have been contending from the
day the amendment was adopted ir
1905 until now that there was a cow
ardly surrender to the opponents OF
regulation in the Senate. But hither-
TO 1t has not been a popular position
I think 1t will become more so from
this time on.
Il have prepared and intend to in
eroduce at the next session of Con-
gress a bill in which I shall attempt tc
clothe the Interstate Commerce Com
mission with the authority it ought tc
have.
1.-THE bill provides that on or before
October /, 1910, all interstate common
carriers shall file with the committee
complete tariffs showing their inter-
state rates in such form that they viii
be understandable. The committee will
then take them up and after notice
and hearing will approve or modify
any part of them.
In order that we may see clearly
what has been done and what is YET
to be done / venture statement of he

p1ished in an effectual plan of rate reg.

First, the net earnings Of common

Shows Obstacle to Inquiry.
I'VE have done nothing in this di.
rection, for, although the committee
has power to deal with a single rate Il
Is obvious that 1t cannot in this wa,
reach the main question inasmuch q!
