Birmingham, Ala. Oct 15.-Just as
Parmelee, in Wright aeroplane was
making an ascent today at the fair

MORNING, OCTOBER 1910

Finally the girl said. '"You really do
care a great deal for Miss Wayland.

His only answer was a deep breath
and a slow turning Of the head. but
once she had seen the look In his
eyes she needed no other. She could
only say: II hope she is worthy Of
all she is causing you to suffer, Boyd.
SO few of US are"
She did not speak again. but in her
heart was a great heaviness. They
reached the dock and lost sight of the
spy, only to have him reappear soon
after the boat cleared. and. while
neither spoke of it. they felt his pres
ence during the whole trip.
At Tacoma Boyd left her to 60 about
his business. but joined her later at
lunch. with the joyful announcement:
1--WE had better luck this time. They
said there would be no difficulty what
ever in handling the matter. and they
are to let me know definitely tomor-
row."
Ibid Hawkshaw hound you to the
bank?" she inquired.
II rather think So"
'Then tomorrow will tell the tale"
you mean the bank will turn me
DOWN.
Eyes, If I've sized up the situation
correctly. I dare say these banks are
as cautious as those in Seattle, and a
few words over the telephone would
do the trick"
I'm inclined to give that shadow a
little personal attention" the young
man unused, but when she questioned
him he only smiled and assured her Of
his caution.
Again on the return trip they discov-
cred the fellow among the passengers.
Cherry noticed as they reached the
dock that while Emerson maintained
q flow Of conversation his eyes were
constantly upon the fellows back and
that he kept a position close to his
shoulder, regardless of jostling from
the others. She could not tell what
this foreboded. nor did she gain hint
of Boyd's purpose until the gangplank
was in place and they were out upon
It. A narrow space separated the boat
from the dock. As they crossed this
Boyd slipped and half fell on the
slanting planks. He lunged violently
against the man in gray, who was next
him. 1t occurred with the suddenness
of pure accident. and the next she
saw was the stranger plunging down
ward along the piling. clutching wildly
at the vessels side, while Boyd chung

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
Committee VIII Report Measure Garry
ing About S30,0OO,00O.
ing AUUuL SoU, UUU, UUU.
from The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Dec. 5.-The Committee on
Rivers and Harbors viii be ready to report
a bill to the House before the end of this
week. Strong pressure is being brought on
the committee to authorize appropriations
for new projects. but this will not be done
except in a few cases where the recon-
nendations of the engineers show excep-
tionaI merit and that delay is inadvisable.
The tentative draft of the bill provides ap-
propriations agGregating $4,000 600. OF
which a little more tan SOS, 0400G0 is cash
and something more than S7O00 900 merely
authorizations.
Representative Alexander will make an
effort TO have the bill taken VI at the
earliest possible date and is hopeful that
1t may pass the House before the hoIi-
days All floor amendments will be re-
sisted and an effort made TO hold the ap-
preparation within the amount recon-
mended by the committee. 1t is probable
that many amendments to the bill will be
made in the Senate and that il will take
many sessions of the conference committee
to work out a measure which carries appro-
priations within the limit set by the Rivers
and Harbors Committee as the maximum
which shall be authorized at this session

CUSTOMS COURTS WORK
Fifty Cases To Be Considered at
Session in BROOKLYN.
From The Tribune Bureau !

Washington, Dec. 5.-About fifty cases
Will be considered by the Customs Court
OF Appeals at its sessions which will begin
tomorrow in the government building in
Brooklyn. This will be the first session of
the court outside of Washington, and will
last ten days or two weeks. Formerly in
controversies arising out of the tariff the
United States Supreme Court was the court
of last resort, which. with several inter-
mediate appellate tribunals, often put a
prohibittve cost on appeals The fact that
few tariff cases reached the Supreme Court
led some members of Congress 10 believe
that special customs court was unneces-
sary. After hard fight the Senate re-
spOnded to the Presidents recommendation
TO include the provision in the Payne tariff
law, and the House conferrees accepted it.
The new court has been busy since its
organization. 1t started with q docket con-
tanning 40 cases, and It is now estina ted
that the yearly docket will comprise at
least go cases. The law provides for an
appeal from the Collector OF Customs to the
Board Of General Appraisers, and from this
board direct to the Customs Court of Ap-
peals, which is the tribunal of last resort
This brings appeals within the reach of
many persons who have hitherto been
forced TO content themselves with the rul-
ings of the appraisers.
On the whole, the work of the court
has been highly satisfactory, both to the
officials Of the government and the GUS
IONS brokers. d. Frank Lloyd, a special
Assistant Attorney General, has been des-
ignated to look after the interests Of the
government in all cases before the court
His first assistant is William Payne, 4
son of Representative Serene E Payne.
who was clerk of the Ways and Means
Committee when the present tariff law
was being framed The prediction that
the establishment of the new court would
involve the government in an annual ex-
pense of $3.50, 900 has been disproved. The
estimated cost OF the court for next year
is s76,85I The expense for the first year
was less than 100000.
All OF the judges Of the new court are
lawyers and two of them were holding
high judicial posts at the time of their
selection by President Taft Judge De
