BEDS IN STATION
CAUSE OF A ROW
Inspector and DR.. Woodward
Say They Are Bad"
Sylvester Objects.

Because G. H. Welsh. Health Depart
ment inspector, found IN police sub
station A, Anacostia, sleeping quarters
which his professional instincts did not
approve, DR.. W. c. Woodward, District
Health officer, and Major Richard Syl-
vester, superintendent of Police, are in
volved in controversy.
According to the report which In
speCtor Welsh submitted to Dr. Wood
ward, he found that substation A
sleeping quarters consisted of three
rooms. two Of which are Il by u feet,
and the other 6 by II. In one of the
larger rooms were two cots, in the
other three cots and in the small room
one cut he was dumbfounded when he
saw how frequently these six cots must
be used by officers without their being
any opportunity for airing the sheets
and bedding. Frequently 1t is necessary
for men who come of duty to go to bed
in cots from which the reserves have
just -isen.
DR.. Woodward thinks such a condition
bad. Major Sylvester says more room
is needed at Sub A, but won't acknowl-
edge that sleeping on the same sheet
will hurt two brawny policemen as
much as DR.. Woodward thinks it viii
The report of DR.. Woodward has been
marked noted by the Commissioners,
and 1t is fled away.

our balloon commenced to spin around
and ascend very rapidly. We shot up
to 1900 feet and we almost frozen
stiff. Bumbaugh was unable to figure
it out and it was certain death to use
the valve TO stop our upward flight.
White vapor gas poured out of the bal

to prevent the bag from bursting, but
up il went and then we opened the
valve again which seemed to help some.
Then we began to descend very slowly.
We expected TO use all our ballast to
break the fall, but it was not necessary

whirlpool without dumping any At

I'VE had made the circuit of about
twenty-four miles three times. The

pulled US out and we were certainly
thankful. We had during the day two
other ascents of the same kind but less
spectacular, only taking US UP eight and

CLEVELAND, June 9-Carl Fisher.
owner and pilot of the big balloon
Indiana, arrived here today, telling his
own story of the thrilling trip through
the clouds made by his balloon in the
trip that started on Saturday. He
says:
'sThe Indiana landed at Ruskin, Tenn,
after forty-nine hours and twenty-five
minutes of continuous flight. Two pre-
vious stops for water were made, how
ever, and we learn that these stops
disqualified us, but the cold water,
when we were burning up, was worth
the disqualification. Shooting at the
balloon was frequent, commencing in
Brown county, Ind, and continuing as
we swept across Kentucky and Ten
nessee. The man with whom we are
now stopping told US that he and his
son both went after their rifles to see
which one could bust it, thinking it
was a circus balloon without passen-
gers.
'"Tha winds generally were very poor
and we only made way at 1900 feet.
The heat at 10000 and 1900 feet was in
tense, as a result of reflection from the
snow white clouds.
Near Nashville, we had the most
thrilling experience of the trip and Bum
baugh SAYS that in over 100 trips he
never had such an experience and has
only read of one.
There seems to be a general current
of air over the river which in some pc
culiar manner is affected by the cur
rents from over the mountains. At

RAILROAD BUILDING,

From best information obtainable
~ appears that it is a very much
acknowledged fact that the Milwau-
kee road has decided upon building
an extension of its line from Rapid
City to q point almost directly north
to tap the new through line to the
coast This information comes from
9 very excellent authority and can
be relied upon with as much as
surance as 1t is possible for a cor
pcratton Of the kind to give which
Is not given to making definite state
ments Of intention. 1t is also known
that there is a surveying party work
ing towards Rapid City from a north
easterly direction with the intention
II found feasible to construct a line
here. Either one Of these lines
would be a benefit to the city, open
Ing up q large section OF country
not now traversed and which will
become q feeder for Rapid City. Be-
tween the two lines under contem-
plation 1t occurs to those who have
given attention to benefits derived
that the n contemplated northward
to tap the coast line will be Of the
greatest benefit. Then there is an
other project in the line Of railroad
building which will also have influ-
ences upon the commercial suprem-
ecy OF Rapid City, which may have
q very decided benefit. 1t is under
stood through excellent advices that
the Northwestern has designs ON a
coast to coast line. and that this ex-
tension will be made practically
from this city. IT therefore appears
very much as though Rapid City was
destined to become one of the prin-
cipal railway centers Of this section
OF the west, and IL this proves true,
with the accession Of exceptional
railway facilities will come untold
benefits to the city as the gateway
not only Of the Black Hills country
but OF the country tributary to the
west OF the hills. Rapid City oc.
cupying such a position would be
the envy of every city west of the
Missouri and would Immediately at
tract the attention of the investors

The Porto Rico Rill.


The house of representatives has
passed the Porto Rican bill asked
for by President Taft. 1t is a bill
to enable the %insular government to
go on when the lower or popular
branch of the legislature refuses to
Epass the appropriation bills. 1t has
done that this year because the ex-
ecutive council would not consent
to legislation-some of it admittedly
bad legislation-favored by the house
of delegates. The executive councll
is an appointive body. Six of the
members are Americans and five are
Porto Ricans.
The bill provides that if appropri-
ations for the support of government
are not made the treasury may, with
the advice of the governor, make the
necessary payments. Opposition to
it was based almost exclusively on
the fact that it would curtail 'the
power over the purse of "the rep
resentatives of the people," That
would have been q weightier objec-

dollars a year. go into the insular
treasury instead Of the United States.
| Whatever internal revenue taxes on
tobacco and spirits are collected in
the island go into its treasury. II
Illinois were as we'll treated by the
national government there would be
no lack of money for any state in
stitution.
In all Porto Rico gets from the
United States SO, 100000 a year.
There is a small property tax, but
most of the proceeds go to the mu-
inequalities. Substantially all the
money which supports the insular
government is provided by the Uni
ted States. The national government
should have something to say about
the expenditure of that money. If
the Representatives Of the people,
say. that the wheels of government
shall be blocked unless the execu-
tive council assents to the improper
expenditure Of some Of it, 1t be-
comes time for the United States
to intervene.
Whenever the executive council
refuses It's assent to Just laws there
is n appeal to the president. He
can remove incapable members and
substitute sensible ones. But the at
tempt to force through bad legisla-
ton by holding up the appropria-
lions should be rebuked. The sem
ate should pass the house bill at this
session. It can find the time to do
1t while the tariff bill Is in con-
ference.

Professor Holden of Iowa told the
farmer not to o to town unless
he wanted to die, and statistics show
that that Is just what a great many
farmers who move to town do. Quit
ting their hard working, early ris-
ing, early-to-bed system Of living on
the farm for one possibly less siren
uous but certainly more enervating
in town, has proven the death of
many a man who appeared to be
strong and rugged while residing in
the country. But Professor Holden's
advice will not prevent the farmer
from looking with longing eyes to
the time when he can retire and
move to town, nor will it prevent the
town man from looking forward to
the time when he car take life easily
in the country.

The agitation for a lower duty on
wool will not meet with a favorable
reception from the wool growers of
the west. Before the Dingley law
was enacted, the wool growers had
a precarious time of it. Sheepmen
who were wealthy and prosperous
under the Mckinley law became lit
tie better than paupers under the
Wilson4Gorman monstrosihy, when
wool was on the free list. The Ding
ley law changed things, and added
millions Of dollars to the wealth Of
the western states. The attempt of
republican senators like Dolliver to
reduce the tariff on wool to a point
lower than that which it enjoys un-
der present laws seriously menaces
a now prosperous western industry.
Complaint has been made that the
Pacific coast states and' the east
were getting the cream of the pick
ings under the pending tariff law.
But the wool schedule affects west
ern South Dakota, Wyoming and
Montana very largely. The sched-
ule should stay exactly where it is
at present.
