 FOR COMMISSION Permanent Organization To Ad-
 just Tariff Questions CONGRESS IS DEMANDED
Plan Would Take Matter Out of Pol itics and Insure Industrial Peace Throughout All the Country.
 Purposes Clearly Defined.

Indianapolis, February 17.-Demand for the immediate creation by Congress of permanent tariff commission was voiced today in resolutions adopted by the tariff commission conference convention. To dspel any idea that delay in tariff re- vision is sought, and that the purpose of the gathering was to delay action on the pending tariff by Congress, a provision was added urging that Congress during it's special session shall prepare and adopt revised tariff to the best of it's ability under present conditions.
 The resolutions as adopted are:
 I've demand from Congress for the equal benefit of all classes of the people, and in the name of all American industry, of farm, factory, labor and commerce, represented in the national tariff commis sion convention held in Indianapolis, con- sisting of delegates from 42 states and rep resenting 223 agricultural civic, commer- cial and industrial bodies, the immediate creation of a permanent tariff commission for the following purposes and ends, through congressional action:

Honest endeavor will always be crowned with success No doubt this is the reason why Richard & Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrel have been so long before the public.

 a lawyer to "whip-saw" the court n a matter of such grave importance to the jurist and the client, as well as the members of the bar interested.
 If Prosecutor Campbell knew of At
 torney Faces move he was certainly conducting himself in a manner not in accord with the ethics of his pro fession.
 Developments in the rather unus- ual proceeding give evidences of the workings of that fine Italian hand of United States Senator Jeff Davis, who has been employed by wealthy rela- tives of Willis to prosecute Ellis, but who is not on such favorable terms with the prosecuting attorney to ad init of their conferring relative to the merits or demerits of the case.

WAS HE IN GOOD FAITH?

Was Prosecuting Attorney Roy Campbell acting in good faith with Chancellor John M Elliott and his brother lawyers yesterday when he asked for continuance of the ha- beas corpus hearing instituted to se- cure the release of w. Y. Ellis, who shot and killed Nathaniel P. Willis in a Little Rock court room several weeks ago? Developments last night when it became known that a writ ol prohibition had been issued by Judge Carroll D. Wood, of the state supreme court, do not tend to prove that ne was. It does look rather suspicio Us when we take into consideration the fact that at the same time a continu- ance was being asked for in the Jef- ferson chancery court, that another attorney, associated With Prosecuting Attorney Campbell in the prosecution of Ellis, should be in another part of the state asking for stay of the pro- ceedings, when, as a matter of fact, the representations of the prosecutor were that a continuance was desired in order to give the state an oppor- tunity to prepare it's case.

Aerial Warfare Assumes NerV Phases

I'm destroying troops on the ground
the airship will take no serious risk
Its position makes it practically ON
niseient, SO far as the movements or
it's enemy on the ground are con-
cerned. Only prepared artillery can
possibly hit it: therefore It will attack
only when the artillery is not ready.
Airship a Logical Advance
considered in a larger way, the
aerial warship is simply an advance in
the development of war that started
with the modern battleship. Up to the
present time war has been a conflict
of armed populations. 1t is now to be
a duel between fighting machines oper-
ated by trained experts"
The idea is advanced by the writer's
of the article that this coming change
will affect the United States most ia
vorably because of it's comparatively
small standing army, for by an in
strument which does away with ar
mics and substitutes as a basis for
military strength mechanical skill and
national wealth, we cannot but be
greatly benefited"
The information newly published in
the article in McClures Magazine lends
defniteness to what has been conjec-
tured for some time: that Count Yep
pelin has lifted aerial warfare out of
the realm Of conjecture into the first
steps toward actual achievement. From
now on a great deal that has been
taken as speculation may be used as
fact,

TWO CALIFORNIANS WORK
ON HUGE AERIAL GRAF
Los Angeles and San Francisco Men
VIII Build Arships of Large Size
on Widely Varying Lines

In California two men are working
on airships of great size, James A. Nor
rell in San Francisco and Charlemagne
w SirCh in Los Angeles. The former
plans a gas holding vessel with rigid
frame. but radically different from any
thing SO far built, for it will utilize
heated air instead of gas.
Mr.. Morrell built big dirigible more
than a year ago. and tried 1t out IN
San Francisco and Oakland. On the
latter trial, May, 1908, it collapsed, ow-
ing to failure of assistants to release
anchor ropes at the proper time, and
several men were hurt. Not daunted
by this mishap, Morrell has assembled
the material for another big airship,
which will be somewhat wedge-Shaped
and will utilize ordinary oil gas. He
hopes to establish eventually regular
pa ssenger service between San Fran
cisco and San Jose, with landing docks
at each city.
The Sirch transport will be 240 feet
long with compartments which Will
make ii a ship instead of a dirigible,
and the lifting power will be from air
heated by radiation. His theory has
been demonstrated by working models
and has been admitted as feasible by
eminent aerial experts to whom Mr..
Sirch has submitted. The important
feature of the Sirch airship will be its
use when developed practically as a
freighter and litter of heavy loads. Mr..
Sirch homes to have a ship completed
before winter. and he is now looking
for a good site to start construction.

of Latham and a destroyer at the dis
posal of Bleriot should the men decide
to start.
At 8 o'clock Bleriot, who was deter
mined not to allow the slightest chance
to escape, proceeded to the shed at
Sangatte and his monoplane was
pushed out. To the handful of people
who had gathered there the spectacle
of this man, hobbling on erutches,
dreaming of a flight to England, had
something awe-inspiring, even terrify-
ing, in 1t.
Bleriot cast aside his crutches and
took his place in the monoplane, on
which he already had hoisted a red
flag TO guide the rescuers in case he
should fall.
The monoplane rose easily and MADE
two circles above the land. Shortly
Bleriot descended. His motor was run
ming perfectly and he had confirmed the
fact that he had a favoring southwest
breeze.
The critical moment was at hand.
Anzania, the constructor, set the mo-
tor in motion. Bleriot settled himself
calmly In his seat, waving farewell,
and at 436 the aeroplane rose and sped
seward Fourteen minutes later, fly
ing high above the water, it was lost
in the mists hanging over the channel.
The destroyer, which had been
warned to prepare. steamed swiftly in
pursuit, but the flying man was fas-
ter, and soon left it far behind.
NJ. Bleriot Is one of the oldest and
most popular of aviators in France,
and is the winner of the Oseris prize
of $4,000, in conjunction with Gabriel
Voisin. the aeroplane manufacturer
for their contributions to the progress
of aviation.
Yesterday he was decorated with the
7 &c c
of a searchlight for automobiles, and
became interested in aviation in 1900.
Throughout his career Bleriot has
displayed such reckless daring that his
friends predicted he would be killed.
He has had numerous accidents and
has broken a dozen machines, but has
never been dismayed by misfortune.
He made his first cross-country flight
from Toury to Arthenay; made a flight
of an hour at Doue, and on July lS
made a new record for cross-country
from Etampes to Orleans.
After Latham failed in his attempt
to cross the channel. Bleriot hurried
to Calais to try his luck. announcing
subsequently he intended to make
cross-country flight of sixty-two miles
from Evereux to Orleans without
stop.
M Bleriot is exceedingly cool and
always has maintained If a man kept
his head he could not be seriously IN
jured. Az
I'm case of accident" he has said. u
throw myself on one of the wings.
That breaks the wing, but 1t saves me-
M. Bleriot returned this evening from
Dover aboard the destroyer. He was
met by a cheering crowd and was &C
claimed enthusiastically when he said:
"I am radlantly happy at my success.
I am happy also because l have re-
ceived the decoration of the Legion or
Honor"

ing wind and faulty motor prevented

BLERIOT is ACCORDED
GREAT OVATION FROM
PLEASED COUNTRYMEN

CALAIS. July 25.-Louis Bleriot flew
from the shores of France, leaving be
hind a group of spectators, who while
they were filled with admiration at the
mans daring feared lest he might be
overcome.
There was applause when the mono
plane arose in the air, then there was
keen suspense, but when the word
came that M. Bleriot had reached Eng
land a mighty cheer was sent up.
News of his triumph spread quick
~ and celebrations were held every
where.
In spite of his injured leg, Bleriot
stole a march on his rivals, Latham
and Count de Lambert. The former,
deceived by the high winds of the day
before, thought a start would be i'm
possible, while Count de Lambert had
gone to England to pick out likely
place to land. It was decided tor

AMERICAN ARMY OFFICERS
CHAMPION WRIGHT BROTHERS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Army
officers read with interest the account
of NJ. Bleriot's flight across the English
channel, and while some asserted the
Wright brothers had done nothing so
remarkable, others championed the
Americans.
Col. John A. Lundeen. commander OF
the Preside, is in the latter class, and
while admitting that NJ. Bleriot had
displayed great daring, he said he con-
sidered the flight to have been more In
the nature of an experiment than TO
have demonstrated the true value of
the aeroplane as a machine OF war
Colonel Lundeen said:
1.-THE machine used by nj. Bleriot, as
I understand It. was a little one, capa-
bile of carrying only the aviator. This
is a start, it is true but can be con-
sidered only an experiment of doubtful
value. The United States army signal
corps is conducting tests at Fort Myer
of the Wright brothers machine that
go further than an isolated expert
mental fight.
"Of course. we do not know what they
can do until they do it, and we must
gather experience from all over the
world If the Wright brothers fail we
must look to the foreign machines, and.
in the language of the Scriptures, try
all things and keep that which is good

AERON AUTO NOTES

Eight entries have already been made
for the balloon races from st. Louis
in October Five are from st. Louis,
including John Berry, the country
champion halloonist.
Frank Hedges Butler, the English
aerialist. has offered prizes for motor
boat races in England in which compe-
tition is limited to men who have made
at least one aerial flight. Mr.. Hedges
believes that a knowledge of boating
will greatly aid in aerial travel
Lieutenant Calderara, the Italian
army officer who was badly injured in
a Wright aeroplane flight at Rome last
May, has been compelled to submit to
another operation, made necessary
through injury to his leg in the aero
plane fall.
Hubert Latham has made wagers
amounting to nearly $500 that he will
fly across the English channel before
August 1 next.
Ballooning by women has been popu-
lar at st. Louis this month, and sew
eral women have made ascensions from
that city.
Total comments by the Wright broth
ers on the aeroplanc flights of Glenn
Fl. Curtiss on Long Island were con
fined to, at was very nice flight
Three balloonists who ascended from
Pittsfield, Mass, July 20, dropped S9OO
feet in a few minutes. Ihey were rem
dered deaf for several hours by the
suddenness of the descent.
The Williams helicopter, on which the
inventor is working at Washington,
and which has lifted it's weight and
one passenger ten inches off the
ground, is popularity dubbed Fly
chaser from its peculiar appearance
A Bleriot monoplane is promised for
flights at the Hudson Fulton celebra-
ton i'm New York this fall, and the
Portola festival committee will make
an effort to have it brought to San
Francisco for the October celebration.
