MADE NEW YORK SMILE.
Historic German "Goose Step" of Much
Interest In Big Parade.


In parading past the grand stand in
the big Hudson-Fulton military parade
in New York the sailors from the Ger
man ships used the historic goose
STEP" bringing smiles to the faces of
those who had never seen German ma
val and military men march.
The step, which is used only on the
most special of occasions and which Is
considered as the greatest honor that
can be paid by the Germans to any
one, is very fatigung. 1t is impossible
for the men to keep 1t up for more
than a hundred steps or so. Much has
been written about the goose step,
vet few know what it is. 1t consists
of a Strengthening of the body. Keeping
the knees rigid and striking down with
all the weight of the body on the toe'
which is drawn rapidly back In jerky
fashion. Eyes are kept to the front
and the arms are held stif1y at the
sides.
The result of this is striking effect
The noise of thousand men thus
stepping is like that OF troop OF
elephants. Owing to the strain on the
men, 1t is never started until they are
within fifty PAGES of the one to be hon
ored and is dropped when they are
fifty PAGES past the spot. 1t looks
| queer to the uninitiated.
The "goose step" is known TO tn'
| Germans as the "Paradeschritt"
| was introduced in the German arm!
during the reign of Emperor Frederici
| William. father of Frederick the Grea'
| and has been used only as a salut
to the emperor and to the most impor
| tant of foreign dignitaries.

TAFT'S NEXT TRIPS,
Figuring Already on Visits to
Panama and Alaska.
TO GO TO ISTHMUS ANNUALLY

Has Announced His Purpose of Seeing
For Himself Each TweIvemonth
Progress on CanaI-His Ideas on
Alaska combated.
Although President Taft's present
tour of the United States is far from
completion. plans are already being
made for his next two trips, which
will take him from Washington to
Panama and Alaska. 1t is reported
that the president is figuring on run
down to the Sthmus of Panama and
back during the three weeks of the
Christmas recess of congress. The
president is making plans, too, for
trip to Alaska next summer.
The trip to Panama will depend al
together on Mrs. Tafts health. Re
ports from Beverly of her steady i'm
provement have delighted the presi-
dent, and he is looking forward to the
sea voyage to the isthmus with her.
The president intended to have Mrs.
Taft accompany him on his present
western trip. but her health would not
permit.
When the president visited Panama
last spring he announced that 1t would
be his policy to make trip to the 18th
mus once a year. He added that he
wanted first hand information on the
th nd thnt he
believed a visit by the president to
have most wholesome effect upon
the canals working force.
Included Alaska In Present Tour.
The president had originally included
Alaska in his present jaunt. but tn,
late Adjournment of congress forcet
him to cut it out. The president wish
es to see the territory with his owl
eyes before recommending the legisla
ton that he has proposed in regard t.
its government.
Next to the presidents tariff speecl
his Alaska program has probabl,
aroused the most antagonism of any
thing said on his trip. A lot Of peopl
in the Pacific coast states have bust
ness interests in Alaska, and man.
more have relatives who have settles
in that country.
The latter are ruffled at the presi
dents characterization of Alaska's pop
ulation as nomadic and unfit for sci
government They argue that the min
ing town populations in Alaska are n
more lacking IN the qualifications nee
essary for self government than wer

mineral sections of he west that hav

Opposed to the President.
The Pacific coast people who are or
posed to the presidents proposed goN
ernment by commission in Alaska sa
that is the form which the wealth
men of the territory want They war
the commission because it will mean

they will have To deal in getting sa

The Pacific coast people add that n
of the common people of Alaska, 0

Believing firmly that the field of fu

partly in the air. the heads of the
United States army are looking into
the matter of trying out the nrroplane
as an offensive weapon. According to-
Major George o. Squier, president OF
the army aerumutiral beard. the aero
plane at the present rate Of conStruc-
ton and art of manipulation will be
capable of flying mt the rate of 100
miles an hour within two years. Lieu

really dangerous weapon of the aero
plane. 1t will use what we term in
cendiary mixtures s'-compositions con-
tanning PHOSPHORUS and other chemlc-
ais which ignite readily on contact
with the air. Destruction by fire rath-
er than by explosion will be the real
war work of the flying machines.
really believe that in two years or per-
haps a little longer we will have aero
planes that can fly at the rate of l0t

probably be making seventy or seven

OUT or 100000
Struggled SIO,OOO,OOO Worth
Of Goods.

New York. April 21.-Further inyes-
tisation OF The systematic smuggling
OF Paris gowns into this port led the
custom house officials TO declare that
the syndicate has probably smuggled
il S1OOO0O0 worth of goods each year
for the last ten years. thus defrauding
the government ont of 100000 an
nually in customs duty.
Efforts to avoid criminal prosecution
and to shield from publicity the promi-
nent women for whom the $4,000
worth OF receHtly seized gowns were
intended resulted in the offer by rep
utable attorneys representing anony-
nous clients of S26O.OOO to the gov
eminent to drop the investigation
The federal grand jury has the case,
and it is intimated that the identity Of
the smugglers will be revealed.

Robbers al Suffolk, Va, Secure
$500 and Escape.
VAULT RESISTED ATTACK

Burglars TUnneled Under Four Build
ings to Reach the Bank-lt Took
About Ten Days, and Bits Of Food
and Empty Bottles Were Found In
Underground Passage.
Suffolk. Va. April p. - Tunneling
their way under four other buildings
10 reach the vaults of a bank, robbers
gained admission to the Bank Of SUI
folk. carried away with them a large
amount of loose currency, gold and
silver. and succeeded in maki..g their
escape.
Although the loss was discovered by
the officials of the bank on Monday
morning. no notification thereof was
given to the police until late Tuesday.
II is thought that the thieves must
have spent at least ten days before
they succeeded in reaching the bank
by their underground course. II is be-
leved that they finished their job and
made their entrance TO the bank either
on Sunday or Sunday night. They at
tempted to break open the vault but
did not succeed in this. They secured
about $500. The police have no clue.
Inside the tunnel were found empty
bottles. cigar stumps and bits Of food,
which make it evident thai they must
have spent most of their time in the
tunnel Employees in one of the stores
under which the robbers tunneled say
that they have observed some peculiar
noises beneath them during the past
week
This is the first bank robbery that
has occurred in Suffolk since 1876,
when Big Frank" Mccoy, Tom Nc
Cormick and another were chased and
run down in the Dismal Swamp. AS
they were wanted in Delaware, how
