Four Directors to Meet This Week

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, December "A special
meeting of the four directors of the Aero
Club Of America now in this country
the fifth director, J. G. Mccoy. is still In
Europe-will take place in the rooms of
the club in this city early next week to
agree upon the date of their visit in a
body to Washington and Baltimore as
the guests of Thomas F. Walsh, presi-
dent Of the Aero Club of Washington.
Upon this visit the four directors. who,
with Mr. Mccoy. will decide upon the
date and place for the great international
aviation races of 1910 intend to make a
complete inspection OF not only the Col
lege Park SITE in Maryland, but also
of other sites suggested that lie between
Baltimore and Washington
notwithstanding that papers have been
served upon W. H. Page, counsel for
CORTLAND Field Bishop, president of the
Aero Club Of America, by attorneys of
the anti-administration faction, complain
Ing that the bylaws OF the organization
are illegal and that the five directors
alone run everything. the meeting. 1t was
announced tonight, will be held and for
NAL acceptance of Mr.. Walsh's invitation
forwarded to him. The visit will take
place later, upon a date to be fixed at
this meeting.
But court injunction Is now to be
invoked to prevent the five directors
rendering q decision as to the 1nterna-
tional even before the compliments.
members Of the Aero Club, have been
heard In court upon their complaint that
the five directors are holding office il
legally.
Director Mccoy will return in Febru-
airy. The meeting in Paris of the Inter-
national Aeronautic Federation, which
practically fixes the months for interna-
tional aviation races. preventing con-
flict of dates. will have been held.
The five directors would, therefore, be
in a position by March / next to decide
where the big event In America in 1910
shall take place. But the court action
just brought by the anti-Bishop faction
is likely to tie up the directors for
months, even if the courts here decide
that the five directors, all New Workers.
have the legal right to act for the Aero
Club in fixing the place Of holding the
international meet.
Legal complications now impending will
not, however, interfere with the social
visit Of the directors to Washington as
the guests of Mr.. Walsh, about ten days
hence.

Military Promotions by Selection.

According to Secretary Dickinson THE
entire absence of a merit system in the
advancement in their calling OF the offl-
GERS of the army Is not good for the EN-
cheney of the organization. In re-
cent report on the subject he points out
that, except by detail to the ordnance de-
partment, or to the lowest grade OF the
Judge advocate generals department or
the general staff 1t is impossible TO az
vance an officer a single step beyond MS

matter how great his merit may De nor
how mediocre those Immediately ABOVE

the vested right to promotion In turn ana
the difficulty of making just selections.
It Is admitted by Secretary DicKinson
that the elimination of the least emclen.
is a necessary feature Of the adoption OF
a true merit system. He says tnat
system for such elimination as Is in
tended to avoid the evil OF superannua-
tion among officers is provided by sen
ate bill No. 1854, introduced on the rec
ommendation Of Mr.. Taft in the SIXTEEN
session. That bill requires that certain
percentage of each commissioned grace
of the line of the army shall De proHloteu
ca Oh year, and that If enough vacancies
to produce the promotions do not occur
through ordinary casualties the addition-
al number needed shall be created by the
SELECTION for retirement of those who can
hest be spared The number OF promo
tons required has been computed SO that
in the long run and upon the average
officers shall reach the grade OF captain
at thirty-four years. OF major at Iofty-
four and OF colonel at ffty-four years.
An effect of the bill would be to IN
crease the number on the retired list
and the cost also, but offsetting the in
creased cost of the retired list the Sec
retary says, would be a reduction In the
cost Of the active list. He estimates that
the net result in the annual cost OF the
military establishment would be an in
crease of about $1.OOO.OOO or decrease
of about $43O, Goo depending on the man
ner in which the law is administered
Under the plan, he says. there would be
upon che retired list about 900 officers
less than forty-five years of age. who.
drawing small pay, would be subject to
call in case of necessity.
THE BILL" says the Secretary, does
not provide for any rearrangement IN,
the order of merit of officers remaining
in the service. There is no selection In
promotion. In this respect 1t might be
improved upon. l do not believe that
we will have an army as efficient as 1t
ought to be until both of these elements

WILL NOT Be DIRECTOR
QUIETUS TO RUMOR REGARD.
ING FORMER PRESIDENT.
Revision of the Mann Bill, Which
Makes Provision for Panama
Canal Construction.

Theodore Roosevelt will not be "di
rector of the Panama canal. There has
been a stir around town lately over the
report that under the terms of the Mann
bill, introduced at the last session OF
Congress, and to be reintroduced at this
session. Theodore Roosevelt would he first
in charge OF the great work of digging
the isthmian canal. with the chief en-
gineer Col. Goethals. subordinate to him.
This report, or rumor, or whatever 1t be
called, quite circumstantial and detailed,
even went so far as to include state
ment credited to the former President to
the effect that he would see that the canal
was finished within three years from the
time he was put in charge.
Bill to Be Amended.
However this may be. and whatever
truth there may be in the story. it is
certain that Representative Mann Of IL
linois, the author of the bill in question,
has decided to amend it so as to eliminate
the director" leaving, under this plan,
the chief engineer in supreme authority.
AS far as can be judged at this time.
it seems certain that the isthmian canal
commission, seven-headed body, will be
session of Congress and a chief engineer,
in absolute charge of canal work, and
a civil governor to administer the ordi-
nary affairs of the Canal Zone, substitute
ed for the Ehesent cumbersome and
conflicting machinery.
lnasmuch as Mr.. Mann has frequently
consulted with President Taft on this
question of the abolition of the canal
commission. it is presumed his bill has
the sanction of the chief executive. But
it is undoubtedly positive. if the members
of Congress prevent it. that there
will be no Director Roosevelt in charge
of the canal.
Assured Of Success.
It is understood that Mr.. Mann has re-
ceived assurances that his bill, as amend
ed, will pass the House and Senate with
out any trouble.
One member of the House said yester-
day that the decision to amend the Mann
bill in this important particular of ''di-
rector reminded him of a printed rule
that was tackled on the wall of board
ing house where he used to feed back In
the old days. 1t read this way.

 WIN CLASSIC CHARTER OAK
Bob Douglass Gets a Heat-Then
 Geers' Entry Takes Two.

Hartford, Sept. 6.-Over 60.0O0 at- tended the opening of the state fair and the grand circuit races at Charter Oak park today. The classic traci. event of the opening day was the $10.- OOO Charter Oak trot which was won by The Harvester with Bob Douglass second. In capturing the event The Harvester won $6,000. Bob Douglass was the favorite during the first heat when, after leading all the way, he nosed under the wire winner in a whipping finish, with The Harvester but short distance behind him. In the second and third heats. however, The Harvester had things his own way and won with comparative ease. The last heat was veritable process sion in which Geers' mount was never headed. Bob Douglass received $2,000, having finished first and second
 The 2.06 pace was a walkover for Baron Whips. who. won two heats of the race with Major Brino a close sec ond. The feature of this pace was that the horses finished in the same order in both heats and the time be- ing the same to fraction of sec- ond.
 The only three in five event was the 2.13 trot which was easily won by Alice Roosevelt. The mare took three heats, her only opponent being Jennie Constantine, who captured the second heat and made a bid for the third, a close second.
 The track was not fast, and the en- tries, compared with those of other years. were not up to the standard in point of numbers, there being only seven in the Charter Oak.
