HITS WAR AIR CRAFT.
Glenn Curtiss Is Not Satisfied After
Experiments.

Harmon dsport, N. Y, July THAT
the aeroDlane in its present state of
development is far from being q salts
factory engine of war is the conclusion
Of Glenn H. Cu-tiss as result Of the
experiments in mimic bomb throwing
which he has been conducting over
Lake Keuka- The tests thus far, he
says, have demonstrated two important
POINTS:
First-That no aeroplane can be made
into an efficient war machine unless it
is fitted for carrying two persons-one
to act as pilot and attend to the mo-
tor, the other to act as gunner.
Second-That the dropping of projec
tiles is waste of ammunition without
a gun which can be aimed right from
overhead and can carry it's missile to
the target.
Rear Admiral KimbalPs comment on
the test, is as follows:
These are the aeroplanes present de-
fectS for war purposes:
Lack of ability to operate in aver
age weather at sea; signalling approach
by noise made by motor and propeller;
imposssbility of controlling heights and
speeds so as to predict approximate
range; difficulty of hitting when work
ing at a height great enough to give
the aeroplane a fighting chance Of
reaching effective range"

GOOD FOR CHICAGO.
And New Rates Ase Not Bad for the
Railroads..

Chicago, July 1.-Copies of the inter-
state commerce commissions decisions
in the Pacific coast rate cases pre-
scribing sweeping reductions in rates
to western states have been received
here and furnished the principal topics
of interest during the day throughout
the railroad offices and among the
shippers.
An examination of the detail rate
figures showed that Chicago shippers
will profit to a marked extent by the
reductions in the rates which apply
from here. Railroad officers declared
that the effect on their revenues, while
great, would probably be less drastic
than anticipated from the first reports.
1.-THE rates are not SO bad as I had
expected" said J. C. Stubs, traffic di-
rector of the Hartman lines. Il
thought from the first reports that they
had stuck in the knife and turned it
around, but 1 believe we shall be able
to survive all right. It is impossible to
make any estimate as to the effect on
the revenues. Many of the orders are
not positive, especially as to the COM
modify rates which carry the bulk of
the traffic, and the commission has di-
rected that the roads keep an account
during the summer to show the effect
of their rates before putting them INFO

The above proclamation and plea for
sane Fourth of July was issued by
Mayor Billiard from his office in the
city hall this morning. Accompanying
the proclamation of the mayor, Chief
Wilmarth of the fire department with
his usual excellent precautionary meas
ures, issued an additional statement,
which covers the entire sane movement
in Topeka this year.
This is the first time in the history
of the city that the MAYOR and the
fire marshal have combined their in
usual measures which are practiced
by the people of the city on this ma
tional holiday.
And the fire marshal and mayor are
not the only ones-the club women of
the city, the church organizations So
cieties, etc, have all received the sane
germ and have pleaded that Topeka
change her Fourth of July habits 1t

around, the small boy will be limited
to the pleasure of dressing up in
starch and watching the fishes in the

Mayor Billiard promises that the DO

for all violators of the firecracker or

down rules to the police department, it
is a sign that the law is serious
The city commissioners will pass an
ordinance just after the Fourth of
July prohibiting the city merchants
from dealing in certain kinds of fire
works. This ordinance would have
been passed this year but was withheld
on account of the plea from the mer-
chants that they had laid in their
stocks.
The caution issued by Chief Will
marth reads as follows:

General Educational Board VIII Give
Washburn College $4,000.

Following a ten-day campaign for

the authorities at Washburn college.
the balance of a $4,000 fund has been

Three years ago this board agreed to

additional $4,000.
Owing to the canvass for the

been in progress up to ten days ago,

being completed. Notwithstanding that
