HALLEY'S SKY TRAMP
SHES At THE EARTH
Astronomers Are Dumbfounded
When Transit Is Not Made on
Schedule Time.
UPsETs THEIR CALCULATIONS.
Scientists at "a Loss for Explanation
and Believe the Tail May Have
Become Curved.


The earth did not pass through the
tail of Halley's comet at the time
scheduled by the astronomers. Instead
the heavenly wanderer SHE'D and turn,
ed its caudal appendage away from
our globe. From observatories all over
the world came dispatches to the effect
that the tail of the comet, which was
scheduled to pass with the comet across
the path of the EARTH and to envelop
us in its gaseous matter, had so curved
as to delay the time of contact
The fact that The earth did not pass
through the tail of the comet at the
time calculated by the scientists is one
of the greatest blows modern astro-
nomical science ever has received. As
tronomers everywhere accepted the
computations of independent calculat.
ors, who estimated that the earth
would be in the center of the comets
tail between S:37 and 9:37 o'clock
Wednesday night, and the failure OF
the phenomenon to occur has complete
ly upset the most of their ideas about
the comet
Prof Edwin B. Frost of the Yerkes
observatory, Prof. E. E. Barnard and
Prof. S. A Mitchell of Columbia Uni
versity, after an all-night vigil 'of the
comets tail in the eastern sky, de.
clared that they could not explain the
reason for the temperance of the
comets tail in the east, although they
offered possible hypothesis. At the
Transvaal observatory, in South AT
RIGA, r. T. A Innes, the director gave
out the statement that he believed
the earth would not pass through the
tail of the comet at all.

Are Sea Record. Faxed,

In an unsigned article for the May
Atlantic, it is asserted that the rec
ords of the Cunard liners have been
deliberately faxed by their command
er, and that they have been rendered
unfit for service by remaining on duty
for from thirty to forty hours on a
stretch. In accounting for faxed speed,
the writer says that by deviating from
the regular steamer lanes 100 miles is
saved, while the record was made to
apply to the longer route. The writer
claims to be an officer of a liner. Cen
eral Agent Sumner of the Cunard Line
has denounced these statements as
false, saying that the rules of the line
required all captains to follow the reg
ular course, and that such change Of
course would be detected by other
steamers.

UTES GET SS.4Os,611 VERDICT.
Court Allows That Sum as Compen-
sation for Indian Lands Seized.

The United States Court of Claims
has handed down its decision in the
Ute Indian case, entering Judgment for
the Indian claimants for S3,40S, 611.40
as just compensation for lands confis-
Gated by the United States government.
The tribes confederated in the suit
were the White River Utes, the Uinta
Utes, the Southern Utes, and the I'm
compahgre Utes.
BY an act of Congress jurisdiction
of the Ute Indian reservation was vest
ed in the Court of Claims in 1909, be-
cause land had been taken by minor
treaties without just compensation, and
large forest preserves were taken out,
until the holdings of the Utes dwindled
to a very small acreage. The judg-
ment is to compensate for this, and
in addition to the money a tract of the
government lands in Colorado, contain
ing nearly 100000 acres, will be set
aside for the Utes as a reservation.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
Chicago trade says:
THE smallest comparative gain of
this year appears in the bank clear
ings, and high trading defaults con-
tinue to affect credits. These features
in part may be attributed to special
causes of a temporary nature, there
being no clear evidence of reaction
in business aside from that due to the
unreasonable weather, which has him
dered operations to some extent re-
Gently.
"A more favorable development is
seen in an increasing distribution OF
necessaries and crude materials, indi-
eating that the purchasing power has
not diminished, although the discount
rate remains discouraging to extended
enterprise.
Railroad plans indicate that inn
provements through the coming tinan-
cial year will be extensive and the
successful fiotation of bonds under
negotiation will provide for much in
vestment in extensions, trackage. pow
er and rolling stock.
The wholesale markets for general
merchandise were strengthened by a
satisfactory attendance of visiting
merchants, and the buying compared
favorably with this time last year in
dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes.
furniture, mems furnishings and food
products.
Bank clearings, s27S, S9S,740, exceed
those of the corresponding week in

with 1921, 4S0,132 in 1908.

VOTE TWO DREADNoUGHTs.
Senators Down Burton Amendment
for One Ship and Pass Naval Bill.

Tor one snip ana EaSS naval Dill.
The Senate has passed new naval
appropriation bill authorizing two
new battleships of the Dreadnought
type by a vote of 26 to SO, defeating
an amendment offered by Mr. Burton
to authorize only one battleship. The
bill carries an appropriation of s134,-
100000.
During the debate, which was con-
fined almost exclusively to the battle
ship question, two important amend
ments were adopted. One of them, OF.
fered by Senator Johnston, appropri'
ates $45O,000 for the purchase of tor
pedo boats whose vitals are below the
normal load line;" the other, by Sen.
ator Jones, eliminates railroad, cossty
and municipal bonds from the securi-
ties which may be deposited by con
tractors. The naval increase for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911, pro
vided by the bill, is as follows:
Two first-class battleships to cost
not exceeding $6,OO0,O0O each, and
when equipped with armor and arma
ment about $12,50O,OOO each.
Two fleet GOLFERS, to cost not exeee1
ing $1,600,000 each.
Five submarine torpedo boats, not
exceeding a total of $2,500,000.
Six torpedo boat destroyers to cost
not exceeding $750.000 each.
The House bill provided only four
submarines and no torpedo boat de
stroyers. The Senate also added pro
vision that not more than one of the
battleships should be built by the sam5
company The provision inserted in
the house requiring that the battle
ships and fleet Golfers should be built
