''The science of navigation of the air

on the ocean they were torn and bat

ROOSEVELT WANTS
RADICAL PROGRAM
But Colonel Desires That Card
Be Carried Out by the
Conservatives
In First Public Address Since
Election, Former President
Defines Policies

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 1S.-Col-
onel Theodore Roosevelt, as the guest
of the chamber of commerce at its an
nual banquet tonight, made his first
public address since the recent cleo
tions. He was cordially greeted by a
gathering of 600 men representative
of the business and commercial inter
ests and the professions of the state.
1T seems to me that nothing could
be a better augury of the future of
this country" he said, than that a
republican president should appoint a
former confederate of opposite political
faith chief justice of the United States
and receive the unanimous applause OF
his countrymen
Bodies like this chamber of com
merce," said the colonel nave been in
dustriously taught to regard me as a
kind of modified anarchist. I am a
radical, but I am a radical who most
earnestly desires to see radical pro-
gram carried out by conservatives. I
wish to see great industrial reforms
carried out, not by the men who viii
profit by them but by men who lose
by them; by just such men as you are
around me. 1 believe most emphat-
ically in the progress which shall be
sane"
In explaining his idea of the square
deaI' Colonel Roosevelt said:
Il do not want the prize in the race
to go to the man who is not fast
enough to win. l want them to start
even"
Equal opportunity he said, repre-
sented the idea on which the republic
was founded
Your grocer must make a profit or
he won't continue to sell groceries, he
explained, but If you pay his bills
without examining them you don't
show that YOU have a soft heart. You
show that you have a soft head
The government, he said should
deal with corporations on the same
basis as man deals with his grocer,
IN giving and exacting justice.
The colonel said there had been a
good deal of loose talk about pro-
posed changes in forms Of government.
The effort to get more complete con-
troll over the agencies of interstate
commerce for the federal government
represents, he said, not an innovat tlon
which was not contemplated by the
constitution, but a realization of the
purposes of the constitution

Willis Grant Murray Is Constructing Air Craft

Hidden from view IN a hollow at the
deserted Ingleside racetrack field a
huge. strange craft is slowly shaping
itself and may some day rise and soar

the result Of more than u years Of eX-
perience in aviation and of four years
OF concentrated effort
From the biggest steel manufacturers

The money has been provided by John
Martin, ". P. Hammond, Eugene de
Saba and other well known men who
have every confidence in the outcome.
The airship which is being built on
a platform or landing station measur-
ing about 70 by 100 feet, is hardly
na mable, because it combines three Of
the chief principles by which most air.
craft are desi gnated. From the dirigible
Il has taken something and from the
biplane great deal. 1t thoroughly en-
ploys the helicopter, which is expected
TO give il the power of rising without
the usual running start.
GAS TO BE BALLAST
The gas is to be used as a ballast
and plays no part in the lifting al

motive power is obtained from three so
horsepower, four cycle gasoline engines
similar to the four cylinder type used
In automobiles. The engines drive pro-
pellers. one at either end which are

One engine will drive the ship and

ALDRICH WILLING
TO Change TARIFF
Cnmmins Asks Senate to Limit
Power to Amend Bills Sent
From House
Modification of Rules of Con-
gress Suggested by Proposed
Joint Resolution

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-The senat te
listened to the first tariff debate Of
the session today, and while the dis
cussion was largely academic It served
to develop the important fact that Al
drich and Lodge are willing to Join IN
the piecemeal revision of the tariff
The subject came up on a motion to
refer to the committee on rules the
Cummins joint resolution providing for
the limitation of the power 20 amend
bills looking to the modification OF
paragraphs and schedules OF the Payne
Aldrich bill
Cummins occupied the floor IN sup
port of the provision, but he was IN
terrupted so frequently that the dis
cussion partook largely of the nature
of running debate.
Aldrich favored amendment, but said
that he would prefer taking up the
question by subjects rather than by
schedules. He was emphatic in his op-
position to the Iowa senator's method
of proceeding. which contemplates al
teration of the rules OF both house and
senate by Joint resolution.
Hale did not participate in the de-
bate. 1t is expected he will oppose
the Cummins' program.
Cummins contended that unless the
rules of the two houses were amended
there would be no possibility OF amend
ing the tariff. with the consequence
that it must remain as IT is until the
people in their Indignation and wrath
rise up and compel a general revision. F."
