DENOUNCES CONGRESS-.
". Z. Scaritt Wants 5000 for
4erOnGutics.

"A pitiful spectacle is the way Winthrop E.
Scarritt, formerly president of the Automobile
Club Of America, and active in the affairs
of the Aero Club of America, designated the ma
jority OF national House Of Representatives
at the twenty-first anniversary dinner of the 1st
Signal Corps, at the Hotel Astor, last night. He
said:
What pitifu spectacle the majority of the ma
tional House of Representatives is making of itself
in cutting out of the army appropriation bill the
10000 needed for experimentation in aeronautlcs
The utter folly of such snort sighted policy IS
beyond expression.
The men that voted against this measure Gre
ferring the defeat of the $4,000 paragraph in
the army appropriation bilD advertised in them
selves depth of ignorance that is appalling. Some
day they may be called upon to repent In sack
cloth and ashes their wofuI shortsightedness.
Two three days ago the Senate voted to build
two 26 cotton battleships costing of millions
of dollars. The House refuses to appropriate $500
900 for experiments in aeronautics when fraction
of that sum of money would build airship that
could sink both of the DreadnOughts in twenty
minutes Our nation is far behind in this respect
the other great powers of the world France and
Germany have to-day airships that could sink our
navy and devastate Atlantic seaboarG without
let or hindrance from the United States govern
ment. The emblem of national freedom is the
American eagle. The House of Representatives
clips his wings. pulls his tail feathers, feeds
him On pattuGes, and then wonders why he can't
fly.

from box 45, near the railroad shops,

great many Offenses which would not
be tolerated on any other day were
overlooked when the season was taken
into consideration. No serious Of

assault. numerous cases of disOTdeTiy
conduct, fine array of fights, half the
number almost for drunk and other
offenses. One negro woman giving
her name as Melissa Sims said her

signed the affidavit.
The marshal remained at the station
or in close touch with the force
throughout the day. All beats were
doubled until 10 o'clock, and in all
the saloons the prOpTietOTs of the
places secured the service Of one or
more men, the saloon paying the eX-

Many young men were hauled in
limp as a rag for drunkenness, and
one boy arrived in the patrol wagon
as helpless as a babe. He stretched
out on the floor until a cell could be
assigned. BOndsmen were on hand
and signed about half the number OF
arrested paTty's bonds. This was at
the rate of one dollar each.
The chief believes that by Monday
morning the city court will have dock

lieving that it will not fall short OF
one hundred.
