HIGH TARIFF WRONG.

French Ambassador Attacks
Tendency of United States
Toward Large Duties.

NEW YORK, July 20 Speaking with
amazing frankncss I'm view Of his dip
lomatic post, Ambassador Jusserand Of
France, before he sailed today for Paris
on La Lorraine, attacked the tendency
toward high tariff on the part Of the
United States
"A worzingman's daughter has as
much right as a rich mans daughter
to put a ribbon I'm her hair. but If this

INQUIRY MAY MOVE
CONGRESS TO ACT

The Sutton ;nve stigation at Annar. ds
is going to command the attention of
Congress.
1t isn't often that Congress gets
through the appointed period Of its ex-
istense without having lis attantior
called to the hREing and related dis
turbaRces at the Military and Gaval
Academies; and indications are that the
sutton affair Will get a thorough airing
befoID the session of next winter is
ended. This, too, no matter what may
De the outcome of the present inquiry.
Representative Good of Iowa, who has
been GLOWING with much care the in
vestigation, declares that when the
naval appropriation bill is before Con
gress next winter, he will offer an
amendment providing ahat no part %
the appropriation shall be used 10 pay
whose fight with Sutton has been under
inquiry.
Ans I think it viii pass, too" ADDED
MIR. L00d. Il have found ii exceedingly
difficult TO believe that { man fat on
the ground with three men on top of
him, would reach into his pocket, pro-
duce a pistol, and shoot himself I
don't believe i man would feel that
shooting himself was the important
business In hand under such circum-
stances. If he was able 10 get out a
gun he would be likely to make a diff
ferent use Of it. The whole thing strikes
me as strange. and. not matter what
may &c the conclusions about the death
of Sutton and the responsibility for it,
there is certainly good ground for tax
ing some action against the men who
went out to fight, and piled themselves
on him"

Following the statement Of the Super

Mayor Pfan, OF Alexandria, made a
brief but Embarrassing flight from the
top OF the hill at George Washington
Park yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence of 1900 people who were waiting
for the Wright aeroplane.
The mayor proved that ne is something
Of an aviator. lie also proved he
doesn't need biplanes, mOnOplanes. or
monorails In his business. All he needs
is a gentle little shove-arH he Is of.
The mayor carried with him as a pas
senger, Fred Schneider, a prominent Al
exandrian.
1t all happened about s O'Clock, when
the 5000 people, who had been waiting
two hours to see the aeroplane circle
the Government balloon anchored to the
top Of the hill, began to show decided
signs Of 'restlessness. Fred Schneider
was one Of these.
Schneider Raises Question.
Schneider attempted to cross a line the
mayor had established TO keep the
crowd back from the automobile holding
the Government official tlmekeepers.
When he was informed he would have
10 get back with the rest OF the 5000,
he very promptly raised the constitu-
tional question OF whether the mayor
had the right TO exercise authority out
side Of the city limits.
The mayor said he had. Schneider
said he hadn't And, then, the mayor
began cranking the propellers on his
aerial machine.
Schneider, as cool as Lieutenant Lahm,
when thai official rode for the first
time with Wright, stepped over the line
and indicated that ne was ready for the
flight. Pfaff. with a final glance about
him to see that nothing was out of or
der, nodded 10 his assistants, and turned
on the current. There was a rum ,5ling
noise, and the crowd fell back.
For a moment, supreme intensity
reigned, as Mayor Pfaff machine veer-
ed from right to left and seemed to ex-
perience difficulty In gaining impetus.
But the weight OF the mayor. which is
something over 200. and that of Schnei-
der which is not much over 100. was. nv
degrees overcome: and, then. the crowd
was treated TO a flying exhibit which
