THEN AND NOW
WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

n On September 81, 1909, the fleet Of
excursion boats lined up off Quarantine
In the lower bay, discerned through
the morning mistss the form OF the
liner Oscars II, picking her way along
through the fog n
Sirens shrieked, bands played, and
voices rang out. On the bridge OF the
Oscar Dr.. Frederick Cook doffed his
hat and acknowledged the salntes Of
thousands OF admiring Americans who
had stayed up all night to welcome
home the finder of the North Pole.
Custom officials had written "ex.
pedlte" on his declaration, and he left
the Oscar, at quarantine without even
exhibiting to the prying customs men
the gold medal given him by the King
OF Denmark. A waiting tug With his
wife and the inevitable reception
committee" with streamers two feet
long, went alongside, and the man who
had stood 4on the top of the world,
where there is no north, no east, no
west-whcre all is south-with limit.
less fields Of purple ice, went aboard
for sumptuous breakfast.
The excursion fleet stood by, whls.
ties toooting and bands playing, but
they reverently awaited the great
mans pleasure.
At 0 o'clock the tug went alongside
the big excursion steamer chartered
by the Arctic Club and the Bushwick

AERIAL CORPS PLANNED.
Congress Will Be Urged to Provide
Dirigihle Balloon for Army.

Military experts of the War Department
are considering a plan to add the dirigible
balloon or airship to the equipment Of the
Signal Corps. A strong plea will be made
to Congress in the coming session for an
appropriation sufficient to enable the de-
the Zeppelin type and to build plant
necessary for the maintenance Of these
aerial monsters.
This means that the army is not ready
as yet to adopt the aeroplane as a part
of the military equipment for national
defense. The experts are of the opinion
that the dirigible is nearing perfection,
while the aeroplane is still in the expert
mental stage. Recent accidents to aero
plane operators have accentuated that
point OF view. The dirigible, they say,
has demonstrated its usefulness as a war
machine. not only for scouting purposes,
but for carrying materials and men and
weapons which could be used to great
advantage.
1t is the purpose of the authorities
ultimately to establish an aerial corps as
subsidiary to the Coast Artillery Corps.
Stations will be established for the big
airshipS al forts along the coast. SO that
they may be ready for operation I'm con-
nectfon with naval engagements. In case
of an attack by a foreign navy or In con-
nectton with land maneuvers AS a part
of their practice work the big ships will
sail up and down the coast In order to
train themselves for their work as a sort
OF aerial scouting line. trimming the entire
country.

WARSH|P ON THE ROCKS
BRITISH CRUISER GOES ASHORE
IN A DENSE FOG.
Hoped That the Vessel May Be
Pulled Off at High Tide
This Morning.

PORTSMOUTH. England, August 13.-
The British armored cruiser Duke of
Edinburgh went ashore today in a dense
fog on rocky ledge off Cowes. She
sent out wireless messages for assistance,
which was dispatched from here. The
cruiser is in a dangerous position. The
crew of $50 officers and men remain
aboard. and it is hoped that the cruiser
will be towed off the rocks at the
full of the tide early in the morning. The
sea is smooth.
The armored cruiser Duke of Edinburgh
was one Of the British squadron which
attended the Hudson Fulton celebration
at New York last year. She is of 1860
tons displacement. with length of 4SO
feet and a heavy armament. She was
built at Pembroke in 1904
March Is, 1907. the Duke of Edinburgh
grounded while leaving Dover harbor but
was towed off without having sustained
any damage. At that time the prompt
dropping her anchors alone saved the
warship from crashing into the Pow pier.
The cruiser Is commanded by Capt. the
Hon. Robert F. Boyle.

NO LANDS FOR SETTLERS.
Yakima Indian Reservation Not to
Be Thrown Open.

The reclamation service has issued a
statement denying reports that the gov
eminent contemplates extensive opening
of lands on the Yakima Indian reserva-
ton In Washington.
II has been reported. the statement
says that q million acres OF the reserya-
tion are to be thrown open. and that the
land Is to be irrigated by the reclamation
service.
The facts are" the statement contin-
ues. that the government does not con-
template any opening on the Yakima
reservation at this time. and perhaps not
for some time. There are nothing like a
million acres to be opened. and none of
the land to be opened TO entry is likely
TO be irrigable or suitable for any purpose
whatever except grazing.
1T is not probable that there is quar-
ter section of land on the reservation out
side of what will be included in the In
dian allotments upon which a person
could make living by farming"

GOES TO SCOTCH CONCERN.
Lowest Bidder for Construction of
Panama Canal Dredge.

American shipbuilders have found
themselves unable to compete with the
Scotch yards in building a steel ladder
dredge for the Panama canal, and
President Taft has authorized the 18TH
mian canal commission to buy the big
machine from abroad at a price much
less than the only American bid.
In an open competition. William ST.
mons & Co of Renfrew, Scotland, bid
to build the machine for S399,34O. The
Union iron works of San Francisco
wanted sS74,146. Lebnitz & Co., an
other Renfrew concern, bid $4,000,
The law provides that purchases of
material and equipment for construc-
ton of the canal are restricted to arti-
cles Of domestic production or manufac-
ture unless the President shall deem
the bid extortionate and unreasonable.
The commission referred the bid to
President Taft and he has directed
that the contract be awarded to the
Scotch concern.

Cannon smiled today when asked for
comment on rumors that Speaker Cannon,
Senator Aldrich and Secretary Ballinger
were soon to be placed in less prominent
positions in republican national politics.
Mr.. Cannon said:
Acting in concert with the republican

could toward the enactment Of the
legislation. and the President approved it,
The democratic minority in Congress, re-
inforced by small group of men under
the leadership Of La Toilette. Cummins,

More Men at Columbus Refuse
to Do Duty on Cars.
MAYOR WANTS VOLUNTEERS
Needs 1000 Citizens for Duty Dur
ing Car Strike.
NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE
Return Of Troops Has Not Been
Requested, But Militia Is
Held in Readiness.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. August 13.-Fifty-
three members Of the police department
within twenty-four hours have rebeIled
against Mayor Marshall's orders to ride
on street cars. The mutineerS Of last
night, thirty-three, were increased TO-
night by twenty. All of the twenty
were men employed as specials for
strike duty.
Unlike the regular officers who
mutinied last evening, the twenty spe-
cials were not suspended. but upon their
refusal to board cars they were told
that by that act they had removed
themselves from the service.
Last nights mutineers were suspended
today. They will appeal to Safety Di-
rector McCune who will dismiss all. as
Mayor Marshall says that none of them
shall be connected with the department
while he is executive.
No Call for Troops.
The mayor made no call today for
the return of state troops. Officers Of
the 4th Regiment, four companies Of
which are stationed in Columbus, say
they have been told to hold themselves
ready for service, but at the adjutant
generals Office it is denied that prepa-
ratiOnS have been made for calling out
troops.
Mayor Marshall, as he did last night,
again put police on cars tonight. There
were not enough officers to man all
cars. The mayor. during the day inti-
mated that tonight probably would be
the last on which police would be so
used. There are indications that today
or tomorrow night he will order a re-
turn to the system of patrols by police
in automobiles.
Calls for Volunteers.
Mayor Marshall today called for 1900
volunteers for police duty. He took the
brslnt of all criticism made against the
manner in which the situation has been
handled, but said that If his critics were
sincere they would offer to perform po-
lice duty. Late tonight there had not
been a single response to his appeal.
There are only FIVE men ON the police
eligible or reserve lists. as kept by the
civil service commission.
Sheriff Sartain this evening enrolled
twelve special deputies for strike duty
when the mayor called upon him for aid.
Members of his Office force secured the
town and county, but were able to enlist
only a dozen men.

Rioting tonight was not so serious as
last night. However. two policemen and
a number of carmen were injured. A
motorman on the east side who alighted
to attach a fuse was murderously as
Saulted, and when the police res
cued him was a fit subject for the
hospital. Policeman G. H. Davis and
j. w. Overturf were hit by stones. A
motorman who saw a man throw a
stone at his car jumped off and grappied
with the man. only to be knocked uncon-
sCious by q pair of brass knuckles.
A score of arrests were made including
several stone throWers.
