DID THE COMET
LOSE ITS TAIL?
Scientist Believes Appendage
Has Broken Loose.
IS A HABIT OF HALLEY'S

Says II Is a Matter of Record That
THIS Occurred in 1885 and He
Thinks It Happened Again in March
o, This Year-says Comet Is Now
Generating a New Tail, Which viii
Be Visible Shortly.
Chicago, May 23.-The theory that
Halleys comet has lost it's old tail,
which is still floating In space in the
Eastern sky and is now generating a
new one, was advanced by Rev. Daniel
} McHugh, professor of astronomy at
Depauw university. The old tail was
forced away from the comet by the
forces of unusual electrical repulsion
caused by the sun spots which were
SO prominent Wednesday, he thinks.
'It is my opinion" said Professor
McHugh, that the comet lost its tail
some time Wednesday night. There
are records of its having done the
same thing in 1885 and 1t is also be-
lieved that tail was lost in March of
this year l also believe that there is
not the slightest chance of the earth's
coming in contact with the tail on
this visit.
Combined with the solar repulsion
caused by the sun spots in forcing the
old tail away was the attraction of
the earth. When the old tail broke
away it continued in the same plane.
II was seen in the east Thursday
morning and on Friday morning 1t ap-

did not see it Saturday morning, prob
ably because of the haze AS the old
tail no longer receives fresh gas and
energy from the head of the comet it
will disappear in time.

| 1t had no tail. This strengthens my
theory that it is now generating new
tail, which will become visible in a
| short time"

Washington, May 23.-Denouncing
@the Payne-Aldrich tariff as a trans
parent humbug," attacking the tariff
views of its author. Representative
Serene Payne Rep., N W and Wig
orously assailing President Taft for
his support of that law, Representa-
tive Champ Clark of Missouri, leader
of the Democratic minority, delivered
in the mouse what is regarded as the
Democratic keynote speech of the
coming congressional campaign. Mr..
Clark had prepared his address with
great care and spoke at length, giving
facts and figures in support of his con-
tention that the tariff had not been
honestly revised and that the Repub-
lican majority in congress had en-
deavored to trick the people. Mr..
Clark also paid his respect incidental
ly to the $250000 item in the sundry
civil appropriation bin for the crea-
tion of tariff board. In concluding
Mr.. Clark made this proposal;
II have a fair proposition to make
to the president and to my Republican
friends which will promote harmony
and which will bring untold blessings
to the consumers in the land: That
the president send a message to con-
gress. short and vigorous, which
shows that he means business, pro-
posing substantial reductions In the
woolen goods schedule; let Mr.. Chair
man Payne report that bill from his
committee and put it on it's passage
and without having consulted single
Democrat in the house / will give
bond for the proposition that every
Democrat will line up and vote for it.
Would Pass With Whoop.
"If he would recommend it it will
go through the house and senate with
a whoop and the people would rise up
and call him blessed. 1t is contended
that the reasons that no change in the
tariff in any manner whatsoever, how
ever meritorious, can be offered is the
fear that, If the tariff question be
onened UP at all, we wicked Democrats
will let slip the dogs of war and open
up the whole tariff question-to the
disarrangement of all business in the
land. | am so much interested In see-
ing the American people have cheaper
wooden clothes that, without having
consulted single Democrat, am cer-
tain that every one of them agrees that
If the president will send message
recommending the bill which ! have
indicated and Mr.. Chairman Payne
will report it and put it on its passage.
we will not offer an amendment Of any
sort to it.
'.The whole transaction could be
consummated in less than week and
shout of rejoicing would ascend
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Great Lakes to the seething
waters of the snnlit gulf. 1t matters
not that the president would receive
the lions share of the glory"
