neighbors saw the entire interior of
the house in flames. The family were
in the second story of the house and
their escape by the stairway was cut

window. Mrs. Sperry and the baby
were rescued by neighbors and while
Sperry was trying to save the other
children the floor collapsed. His body

washington. May ia tariff
speech. snappy with epigram. bristling
with aphorism, preaching the doctrine
Of the simple life as the bulwark of
civilization and protection as the pro-
ducer Of prosperity, was delivered in
the house by Representative Hamilton
of Michigan. 1t pictured nine months
of increasing revenues and encourage
ment of American spoils of trade and
the policies and declarations of for
eign statecraft as the justification of
the protection policy. 1t attributed
the high cost Of living to increased
gold production, to demand crowding
supply, to extravaganza of a feverish
generation and to almost everything
else but the tariff.
Mr.. Hamilton Is chairman of the
territories committee of the house and
his speech is likely to figure conspic-
uously in the next Republican cam
paign propaganda. He favored the
creation of a bureau in the depart
ment of commerce and labor to per-
manently carry on the work now be-
ing done by the tariff board, supple
menting it with a CORPS of foreign
speaking experts, the reports of whose
Investigations of selling prices and
labor costs at home and abroad would
furnish standard of measure of con-
flicting claims in the framing of a
tariff law.
He contended that the tariff plank
in the Republican platform provided
both upward and downward limits and
that by 80 much as you raise duties
above the difference in cost of produc-
tion at home and abroad, after due
allowance for the foreign custom of
selling goods cheaper abroad than at
home. by 60 much you permit domestic
monopolies to overcharge domestic
consumers"
"A few years ago." said Mr.. Ham
ilton, boys wore out their fathers
old clothes made over according to q
neighborhood pattern: now they have
to have store clothes and socks to
match their neckties and college
yell. A man was considered we'll

now he has to have an automobile if
he has to mortgage the place to get
it. The average business man does
business with telephone at one ear,

bile at the door and before many

AMERICAS FIRST
AVIATION MEET
Event for the Championship of
the World on Long
Island

New York. May 13.-America's first
international aviation meet for the
of the world will be held
on Long Island. The last information
al meet, at which Glenn H. Curtiss of
Hammondsport. N. Y, won the James
Gordon Bennett trophy, was held last
year at Rheims, France.
st. Louis, Indianapolis, Los Angeles,
Seattle and Washington and Baltimore
have been interested bidders for the
contest, but the aero club of Ameri-
ca finally selected New York because
it believes the transportation lines
here are better equipped to handle
large crowds and because foreign
aviators have signified dfsinclination
to undertake the expense of a long
land trip after crossing the ocean.
The exact site for the course has not
been definitely chosen, but it will be
somewhere on the Hampstead Plains.
l.. L., just outside the limits of New
York City. Three sites are now under
consideration. and it is probable that
a final decision will be reached at a
meeting of the directors of the aero
club to be held next Tuesday. The
course will be triangular in shape,
three miles long over all, and huge
grand stand will be built for the enor-
nous crowds that are expected unless
the Belmont race track-one Of the
sites on Hampstead plains under con-
sideration-should be chosen In that
event the track grandstand will be
available.
The races will be conducted by the
International Aronautical federation
Of Which the Aero club of America is
a member, and will last for week.
The main contest for the worlds
championship and the Gordon Bennett
trophy. has been scheduled for Octo-
ber %, but the dates for the minor
events have not yet been set. The
rules Of the federation provide that the
races shall be held each year in the
country represented by the victor in
the contest of the year previous. Last
year Curtiss won the championship

ticians. Now he has come into his
own and I am glad Of it. He is one
OF the safest. soundest, cieanest ele-
ments In our civilization. The CITY
would have dried up, rotted or ex-
ploded but for the country that came
into town day before yesterday. Too
much OF the country has been coming
into town though. The farmer is re-
ceivtng only a fair price but middle
men are charging too much for hand
ling and trying to attribute the re-
sponsibiltty to the farmer. The time
mas gone by, however, when thrifty
gentlemen can take toll of the farmer
and out Of the consumer and fool both
at the same time"
Cheap Politicians
Mr.. Hamilton charged the chean
politician with singing one song in
the city and another, of different
tune, in the country. He described
the situation as filled with contradic-
tions, everybody pickering to locate
the blame for high prices. BILLS, res
oiutions. Investigations, anti-egg So
cietfes. antf-food trust and vegetarian
organizations are rampant and in the
midst Of 1t the Democratic gentlemen,
after time-honored custom, are dill
gently trying to convert discomfort
into votes.
I'VE are getting farther away from
the old fundamental human relations
that sustain and console folks. We
are always going somewhere and 60
ing very fast and generally go our
ways separately, although we jostle
one another on the sidewalk. 1t is
an age of steam enginism. We run
the machine and the machine runs us.
The talk on the street today becomes
the law tomorrow. Politics means
parties. parties the people and parties
have to have leaders and chief priests
and scribes and pharisees and camp
followers. This -is the golden age Of
the spot light, opera bouffe, whirling
dervish form of politician who leads
for while but the true leader must
build success on fundamental right. /"
Discussing INSCRIPTIONS dealers and
the segregation of food supplies, Mr..
Hamilton declared the cold storage
system made it possible. If not Gus
tomary, for the frozen remains of an
ancestor to remain In cold suspense
until Its progeny had grown to middle
age and then for them to meet in fri
bcassed reunion on some bill of fare,
both as strictly fresh. The unmater-
nal incubator had become the mother
Of the chicken.
There shall not grow up among
u.s." concluded Mr.. Hamilton, "a priv
fleged class above the law. This gcv-
ernment shall wisely control men and
associations of men. The government
shall not fail Of its mission among
men,"

New York, May 13.-Experiments
made at Columbia university today
indicated that no harm will come to
the population of the earth, at II
o'clock next Wednesday, night when
the world side-swipes Halley's comet.
Following a report from the univer-
sity from Digger, France to the effect
that quantities of deadly cyanogen
gas had been noted in the comets tail
by Prof DesLandres with the aid of a
spectroscope, Prof. 8. A. Mitchell of
the astronomical department at CO.
lumbia, today made experiments with
cyanogen and human subjects to de-
termine how dense the gas in the
comets tail would have to be to efface
life Up in the big chemical labori-
ties of the university. hoods were filled
with the noXious gases. Of different
density and students were placed In
first one hood and then in another and
the amount of Cyanogen was increas-
ed..
1t was found that the gas would
have to be very dense to wipe out
life, the tests merely causing tempo
rary collapse or severe headaches. 1t
was said, however, that if the vapor
was increased to certain density
suddenly, death would be almost in
stantaneOus.
Contrary reports as to the amount
of cyanogen gas in the tail of the
comet, which would rush by the earth
at lust IL O'Clock Wednesday night,
have kept astronomers busy figuring
the possible results. but most of them
agree that there is hardly enough
cyanoeen in the comets tail to cause

Washington. May 13-In conclud-
ing his cross examination of Secretary
Ballinger today Attorney Pepper,
counsel for Clifford Pinchot, lntro-
duced letter written by Don M.
kCarr, Ballinger's private secretary and
eprinted as an advertisement In the
Montgomery Times Of Mount Ida,
Ark, reading as follows:
"It is suggested that as congress
probably will at an early date make
Ian examination of the management of
the forest service, you might with
Epropriety secure such afl1davtts Of
character referred to in your editorial
and submit them both to the COM
mittee having charge Of the investi-
cation, of which Hon. Knute Nelson,
United States senator, will probably
be chairman"
\ Pepper also offered the following
kfrom the. same paper:
I'VE would call homesteaders' at
ktention to the letter from the depart
Gment Of the interior published in tbs
upper right hand corner of our edi-
torial page. This letter is from an

send us your afadavit in reference
to the Irregularities charged against
the forest service in our articles on
the first page. You need not fear
that you will fail to make proof on
account of such affidavit. We will
guard your interests"
The letter and editorial were In
troduced by Pepper In answer to the
statement made yesterday by Chair
man Nelson that he had received q
large number of complaints against
the forest service.
Secretary Ballinger said he. knew
nothing about Carr's letter which
bore the date Of January 3 last, but
on redirect examination he said he
had received letter from the edi-
tor Of that paper late in December
stating that there were many COM
plants in that locality against the
forest service. He offered in evidence
his reply to that editor. When Pep
per asked Ballinger IL he did not think
"the conspiracy" which he had refer
red to might have been a defensive
combination of those who were heart
and soul for the policy to which he
was known to be opposed, Ballinger
replied: "It was a most amazingly
wicked defense"

Coincident with the making public
Of this letter. reply was received
from Oscar .Lawler, assistant to the
sttorney. general for the interior de-
partment, who also was concerned in
the preparation Of the letter Of Sep
tember 13. 1909, exonerating Ballinger
and dismissing CLAWS, stating that he
had kept no copy Of his memorandum.
Mr.. Lawler says he prepared resume
at the request Of the president and de-
livered 1t to the attorney general.
Mr.. Pepper questioned the secretary
about his statement on direct examina-
ton that he ha dhad the Menominee
Indian reservation in Wisconsin inves-
tigated and that the reports were that
there had been a reckless and almost
wanton waste Of money, $731,000. in
connection with logging and milling
operations, during the time it was in
charge Of the forest service. Mr.
Ballinger said the investigation was
made under Special Agent Coulter.
Mr.. Pepper brought out the fact that
the report contained great deal OF
irrelevant matter and also secured an
admission from the witness that he
