and, as one would suppose. are worked
on an intensive plan.

Much may be done to increase the
vitality OF the ears which grow In the
experimental seed plot, whether all OF
the seed planted in one row is from a
single ear or not, by detasseling every
other row in the block before they
mature pollen. This VIII insure cross
fertilization. That Is, the ears in
the detasseled rows will be fortified
by pollen from the tassels in adjoining
rows, with the result that the ears in
such rows will likely be much more
strong and vigorous. 1t is from such
detasseled rows that ears should be
selected for next years seed, the very
best being saved for next years corn

ROYAL WELCOME GIVEN BLERIOT
London Turns Out 5OO,OOO People to Honor the
 French Aviator
WHO CROSSED CHANNEL
Special from United Press.)

London, July 26.-London gave a tremendous welcome to Louis Bleriot the French aeronaut who crossed the English Channel in his monoplane Sun day morning when 500,O00 people met him at the station and another half million cheered him on his way to the Savoy Hotel, where the daring aero naut was the guest of honor at a Hundreds of notable figures in Eng land joined in the vast throng and submitted to all sorts of inconveni- ences just to get glimpse of the aviator who in thirty minutes accom- plished a feat that has immortalized his name: a feat that is history-mak- ing. ..,~:
 Bleriot was completely overcome by the intensity of the enthusiasm and the wild display in his honor. He de- clared that the honors shown him compensated him a hundredfold for the fortune he has spent in mastering the science of aviation. The Daily Mails $5, 900 prize was formally turned over to Bleriot when he reached the Savoy Hotel. The presentation speech was made by Lord Northcliffe. amid scenes which for enthusiasm have seldom been euualled. That only thing that tinctured the enthusiasm with tinge of regret was the fact that the honors were being bestowed upon a French aeronaut as it lad been, hoped that a native son would be the first to claim such distinction.
 Paris, July 26.-According to recent arrangements Parliament will on Thursday make suitable recognition of M. Bleriot's feat in crossing the Eng fish Channel in his aeroplane. Hubert Latham, who last week attempted to fly across the Channel but failed, to- day telegraphed his congratulations to his successful rival. 'I hope soon to follow you" the message concluded.
 Bleriot and his wife, who followed him across the Channel in the torpedo boat. were feted at Dover to-day. There is general regret that Bleriot has announced that he will soon give up his aeronatic experiments. The aerO- naut has promised his wife that after the contests at Rheims he will quit the field of aviation. His wife is of a nervous temperament and despite the fact that his flights have been attend ed with but little danger he says his and he will retire.
 Paris, July 26-France is not so wildly excited over the aerial triumph of one of her native sons, Louis Bier tot, in sailing for the English Channel, in an aeroplane, as to forget the achievements of other ''conquerors of the air. and to-day Wilbur and Or vile Wright and Henri Farman were made chevaliers in the legion of honor. The decoration of the Wright brothers with this signal honor, in recognition of their record-breaxing flights at Lemans and Hau, has been long under contemplation and their appointment to the rank to-day was the occasion o1 much felicitation.
 Hart Berg, manager of the Wright Brothers and Santos Dumont. one of the honored French aviators, were promoted to officers in the legion

Timely Discovery Is Made
 By City Workers
 Official of New Havens Road Is Invited to Meet With Permanent Paving Com

Vice President Calvert Town1ey of the Connecticut Co. has been invited to meet with the permanent paving and sewer commission at it's meeting to be held Friday night, July 30 for the purpose of discussing the paving problem in this city. MT. Townley told Mayor Lee over the telephone this morning that he would endeavor to be present at the meeting but in case Of his inability to come Engineer Sewell or General Manager Punderford would be present.
 beneath the asphalt pavement in Main street on Saturday and to-day. The one> discovered on Saturday was In front of the Meigs building.
 A hole no larger than a mans hand appeared in the pavement and when the work of filling it in was com menced the entire contents of two horse cart filled with dirt were neces- sary to fill the opening beneath the surface.
 The hole was on a line with the excavating done by the Bridgeport Hydraulic company and the hole was a washout caused by the recent rains. A street sweeper discovered a similar hole in front of the public library building this morning. He stuck the handle of his broom into the hole for a distance of four feet. That the pave ment had not collapsed under the weight of some of the teams or auto mobiles that passed over it was miracle.
 The paving commission had a steam road roller on Main street this morning for the third time since the crushed stone was laid over the trench made for the laying of the new mater mains.
 The roller forces the stones into the soft dirt, but after a few teams have passed over them they are as loose and uneven as when first laid.
 When the paving commission meets on Friday night it will decide on the nature of pavement it will lay and rec ommend the kind the railway company shall lay upon East Washington ave- nue bridge to take the place of the wooden block laid there two years ago. The blocks which were little better than green lumber buckled af- ter the recent rain storms. The city has nc money TO pay for the placing of tlocfs upon the bridge unless Aud itor Keating can find some in the per manent paving fund.

REGISTRARS JOB !. SEEMS TO FADE
Military Enroller Likely to Be Office of the Past to
 TomlinsOn'S Dismav.

Mayor Lee and President Wilson of the Board of Aldermen this morning discussed the advisability of postpon- ing the election of a military enroll ment registrar until late in August. It was proposed to hold the election at the meeting of the Aldermen to be scheduled for the month), but the per- sonal tax bill, which has passed one branch of the Legislature, is expected to pass the other branch without many changes. .abolishes the office. The bill does away with the military commit tation and poll taxes and imposes a personal tax upon all male residents of the large cities between the ages of 21 and 60, and all female residents owning property. The bill imposes up- on the General Registrars of Voters the duty of making and keeping a list of the men liable to military duty and the city will settle with the State for it's military tax according to the list compiled by the registrars.
 Mayor Lee this morning stated that he believed it would be best to post pone the election at the next meeting of the council, and if the Legislature failed to pass the bill a special meeting of the Aldermen could be called before the end of the month. It is necessary to hold the election during the month of August.
 If the bill passes it will be the sec ond time that former Alderman Fred erick W. TomlinSon has had the job within his grasp, each time something unforeseen has arisen and deprived him of the place. On the previous Oc- casion several Of the Aldermen bolted the party caucus in order that Robert Vanstone, who had the misfortune to lose arm by accident. might have the n0SifiOn.

FIGHTING TENTH CRACK CAVALRY

Special from United PreSSO
 New York. July 26.-EIeven troops of the Fighting Tenth cavalry, the crack negro regiment of the United States Army, laid siege to New York today, and in a mighty few minutes the 62S negro troopers had captured the town. It's theirs until tomorrow. when they go to Fort Ethan Allen to do garrison duty. The regiment ar rived yesterday on the Fitzpatrick, af- ter two years of garrison duty at Fort William Mckinley, six. miles out of Manila in the Philippines. Last night the soldiers were paid off, $75,O00 in gold being distributed among them. All were given shore leave and every man jack of them reported on time this morning.
 At II o'clock today the entire II com panies paraded from the foot of Wall street through Broadway into City Hall park, where they were reviewed by Mayor Mcclellan, Acting Mayor McGowan and other notables. Then the soldiers made an eight mile march uptown, finishing up through the col ored section of the town.
 It was the Tenth which saved Col onel Roosevelt's Rough Riders from annihilation at San Juan Hill. Tonight the regiment will be turned over to the colored citizens of New York and given a banquet, dance and smoker.

LEATHER MEN AT
 WAR WITH TAFT
Arrayed Against Senators and Congressmen from
 Cattle Producing States.
QUESTION OF FREE HIDES

Washington, July 26.-The war be- tween the President and the leather men on the one hand, and the Senators and Representatives from the cattle producing states of the world on the other, over the question of free hides, is. still in progress. Senator's Warren and Clark of Wyoming; Carter and Dixon of Montana: Borah and Hey burn of Idaho, have announced their determination to continue the fight against free hides until the end unless leather and boots are also placed on the free list. The conference com sessions yesterday, adjourned until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon to enable the Speaker to make a canvass of the House to determine whether a joint resolution could be adopted.
 The next step to be taken by the result of the House and Senate inquir- ieS. This is the one subject that is de- laying the conference report and the adjournment of Congress. All of the other items in the bill have been ad- justed and with the leather schedule agreed upon the Congress can be completed in an hour. There are no signs of il1-feeling remaining today as a result of a little flash of bad tenn committee last night between Chair man Payne and Senator Aldrich. Payne had refused to allow a vote on motion to tax hides 2 1-2 per cent and stood out for putting them on the free list Aldrich is said to have told him that the committee was getting tired of his CPayne'sl unyielding atti- tude, whereupon Payne is reported to have retorted that he would continue to perform his duty as he saw it and that he had the President and the House behind him. Shortly afterwards the conference committee broke up. It showed that the heat and the strain of the constant struggle over the sched- ules had temporarily disturbed the ev- en tempers of the two leaders.
