By James Gates Percival

feel a newer life In every gale.
The winds that fan the flowers
And with their welcome breathings fill the sail
Tell OF serener hours,
or hours that glide unfelt away
Beneath the sky of May.
The spirit of the gentle south wind calls
From his blue throne of air,
And where his whispering voice in music falls
Beauty is budding there.
The bright ones of the valley break
Their slumbers and awake
The waving verdure rolls along the plain,
And the wide forest weaves
To welcome back its playful mates again
A canopy OF leaves,
And from it's darkening shadow floats
A gush Of trembling notes.
Fairer and brighter spreads the reign of May.
The tresses of the woods ~
with the light daying of the west wind play,
And the full brimmlng foods,
As gladly to their goal they run.
Hail the returning sun.

GENERAL MERRITT
BURIED At NIGHT
Officer Inferred by LampIight
Under West Point Snow
as Guns Flash

WEST POINT, N. Y, Dec. 6-Ma1.
Gen. Wesley Merritt, U. S. A., re-
tired, the twenty-first superintendent
Sf the United States Military academy,
was buried here tonight by lamplight
with the military honors of his rank.
His body was laid beside that of his
wife, In the military reservation cem-
etery. There was no service in the
chapel of the academy, as had been
planned. The special car bringing the
body from Washington was delayed by
the storm, and the hour was so late it
was deemed best to make the cere-
monies as brief as the due dignities
would allow.
OHicers who have attended every mill
,itary funeral within the last thirty
years could recall no other held by
lamplight.
AS the regulations provide, the fife
and drum corps, followed by the cadet
corps, fell in at the front on the APP
pearance of the coffin. The fifers'
breath froze on their instruments as
they shrilled the slow measures of the
dead march. Behind them clanl1ed the
escorting battery. Then came the
coffin, draped in the colors followed
by the pallbearers. mourners and at
tending civilians.
AS the long procession moved
through the darkness, the flash of the
minute gun f1ared for an instant across
the shrouded fields, and the dull jar
of the report sounded solemnly across
the river Thirteen guns were fired.
Lanterns guided the procession to the
grave, and there, while the mourners
stood bareheaded in the snow, the
coffin was lowered into it's resting
place, the words of the burial service
were spoken; the three crashing vol
leys echoed across the river, the bugle
sounded taps" and again the minute
guns took up their count.
Wesley Merritt was born in New
York June 16, 1886, and was appointed
to the military academy from Illinois
in 1856. He was six times brevetted in
the volunteer service and the regular
army for gallantry ana merltorlous
conduct on the field of battle.

GLENN \. CURT|SS
HERE To CONDUCT
AIR EXPERIMENTS
Famous Aviator Brings an Entire
Workshop and Twelve
AeropIaneS on Cars
WILL ATTEMPT SEA FLYING
Man Bird to Pass the Winter in
Southern California.
Wife Is III
WILL ATTEMPT SEA FLYING

Glenn III, Curtiss, the aviator who
entertained thousands of Southern Call
fornia people with his daring In the
air at the aviation meet held here last
January, returned to Los Angeles yes
terday and will make his home mere
during the comins winter. He is ID
Southern California to conduct num-
her of experiments, among others the
difficult feat of starting and alighting
on the water. Mrs. Curtiss accom-
panies him. She became Ill While en-
route, but her illness is not considered
serious.
Mr.. Curtis brought his entire work
shop with him from his home In New
York. There are several cars filled
with machinery, designed especially for
airship construction, carload of aero
plane parts and twelve machines COM
plete. With these to work with Mr..
Curtiss will conduct his experiments
as soon as he is able to get a suitable
place to work.
Mr.. Curtiss has retired from exhibi-
ton flying and now devotes his time
to the construction of airships and
to experimenting with them. He is
endeavoring at the present time to
work out and perfect some method by
which an aeroplane may be used at
sea.
Southern California has the finest
climate and atmospheric conditions
known of for flying" said Mr.. Cur
throughout the year it is the ideal
spot for experimenting, as no time
will be lost in waiting for good weather
to try out new ideas.
TO MAKE SEA FLIGHTS
sAt present the experiment in which
l am most interested Is the use OF the
aeropiane at sea- have experimental
TO q certain extent with my machines
on the water and am going to do a
whole lot more of 1t while here. The
difficult feature to solve is starting
the machine and getting it success
fully In the air while aboard steamer,
for there is little space aboard in
which to- start. On the ground one
has an opportunity to speed up and
run along the ground until the air
lifts the planes of the machine. But
ON the water no such opportunity is Of
fered and before aviation at sea be-
comes a success some other manner
of starting the air craft off must be
found. 1t is to find such method that
/ am here. / shall devote the greater
part of my time to working on this
problem and have hopes of solving it.
There are other experiments which I
wish to make but that Is the most
important one"
For the purpose of making expert
ments q lease on the Motordrome at
Playa del Rey has been secured by
Mr.. Curtiss and he will do much of his
flying there. In all probability he will
open work shop In Los Angeles also
to have the advantage of good machine
shops and machinery near at hand. He
is shipping his automobiles to Los An
geles and will use them in going back
and forth from the Motordrome.
Mrs. Curtiss was taken i'll on the
train coming to Los Angeles. She is
at the Alexandria. Mr.. Curtiss stated
last evening that he was not prepared
to talk about the proposed aviation
meet in Los Angeles this year as he
had not taken that matter up since
his arrival.

FURIOUS STORM IN
EAST CON T|NUES
Five Inches of Snow Fall in New
York; Twelve in Ohio, and
Ten in Kentucky

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Nearly five
inches of snow has fallen in New
York since 1880 Monday afternoon and
it is still showing tonight. The
weather bureau at Washington says
snow tomorrow.
The storm brought about the usual
delay in suburban traffic and street
car transportation, but there was
nothing like a tie-up. The minimum
temperature for the day in Greater
New York was %, the maximum q.
A blizzard swept along the Atlantic
seaboard and over the lower lake re-
gion today. Twelve degrees below
zero at Canton, N. Y, was the lowest
temperature recorded. The storm
centered over the lower Chesapeake
bay this morning, and rain, snow or
sleet fell over the entire country from
Virginia northeast and through the
New England States. A high north
east wind reused the ocean, and four
ocean steamships which crept into
port today had to anchor in the bay
because of the binding snow. Ship
ping was held in port until better
weather.
One of the heaviest SHOWS in many
years fell in Kentucky last night and
today. The fall in the mountains was
two feet, while the lowlands were COW
cred with ten inches of snow. Busi-
ness in the mountain districts is en-
tirely suspended.
Twelve inches of snow fell in south
ern Ohio, the heaviest in ten years.

GAssociated PressI

LONDON, Dec. 6.-At the close Of
today's polling the complexion or the
house of commons stood:
Government coalition: Liberals, 1O6;
Labor, 20; Nationalists, 26; total, 1879
Opposition: Unionists, 17.
A situation has developed almost
phenomenal in the closeness of the race
between the government coalition par
ties and the Unionists. The pendulum
swung slightly toward the government
today. and the result of three days
voting. in which 299 seats have been
filled, gives the coalition one more
member than in the last parliament
from the same seats.
Up to last night the Unionists had a
gain of five.
The returns tonight showed the Un-
ionists had regained st. Helens from
the laborites. This borough, with the
exception of last election, had been
Unionist since 1906.
The Liberals gained Southwark west;
Burnley and Coventry and the labor
ties gained Woolwich and Whitehaven,
all from the Unionists, while this
mornings returns from Sunderland
showed the liberal candidate, Green
wood, and the laborite, Goldstone, had
replaced the two Unionists there.
The turning of the tide toward lib
eralism is a surprise and great dis
appointment for the Unionists, who
counted on capturing half dozen
seats from the enemy. The greatest
surprise was in Coventry, because OF
the fact that 1t is the seat of motor
manufacturing and the protectionists
had put great stress on their plea that
tariff reform would prevent the grow
ing competition from American ma
chimes.
The Liberals hardly expected to win
Burnley. because the Socialist, Hind
man, was in the field and hoped to
take part of the labor vote. The bat
tie in Woolwich was one of the hard
est. Will Crooks, workingman, VINO
was turned out in the last election, re-
captured his seat by 236.
The Unionists concentrated tnear
heavy fire on Battersea. but John
Burns. president of the local govern
ment board, again surprised thenS
bringing up his majority from 555 In
the last election to 1892
The betting on the stock exchange
before election was that the coalition
majority would drop to So.
AS the elections progressed the bet
ting favored 80. then 80. 1t is now
conceded that the government VIII
have 106 majority.

COLD IN EAST DRIVING
CROWDS TO CALIFORNIA
Santa Fe Doubles Limited Ser
vice to Accommodate Tourists

Tourist business is coming up. The
cold spell in the east is beginning to
get in it's good work, driving crowds
to sunny Southern California to live in
comfort until King Winter relents. j.
j. Byrne of the Santa Fe system re-
ceived a notice yesterday from Jerry
Black, passenger traffic manager of
the Santa Fe, that on December 1S the
first limited train to leave Chicago in
two sections would be sent out, the
ticket sale being so fleavy that it was
impossible to carry all the passengers
ON one train.
So far the limited trains from the
east have had no trouble in handling
the traffic. and it was intended by the
Santa F'e not to run limiteds In two
sections until after Christmas. Owing
to the cold weather, however, this
plan had to be departed from and the
first two-section train will arrive here

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Refusal of the
clothiers and tailors' organizations to
negotiate with the garment workers
representatives toward ending the
strike which has been ON for several
weeks and cost millions of dollars In
lost wages and trade, today, buried
the hopes of Mayor Busse and his al

that peace was in sight.
The future OF the strike is uncertain
especially since Chief Of Police Stew
ard has granted a permit to the strik-
ers to parade, $4,000 strong, tomorrow.
Representatives OF employers asso-

the workers was due to the determine
ton that the union should not be
