GILLESPIE IS COMING
Will Look Over Aviation Field
for Aero Club of America.
BISHOP ANSWERS QUERY
Asks How Much Money Will Be Put
Up for Prizes if International
Meet Is Held Here.

Word was received today from Court
land Field Bishop, president Of the Aero
Club of America, replying in part to the
Geographic ultimatum sent the Aero Club
of America on Monday by the joint avia-
ton meet committee Of the Washington
and Baltimore aero clubs.
The telegram sent said that the clubs
wanted an answer within ten days as to
where and when the meet would be held,
and wanted the guarantee of the Aero
Club of America that there would be
enough foreign aviators entered to make
the meet a success. Otherwise, the tele-
gram said, Washington would withdraw
it's application to have the meet located
here.
Asks About Prize Money.
Mr. Bishop replied that the date of the
meet had been fixed by the International
Federation for the latter part of Oc,o-
her. 1t is understood that October Is
the exact date. He said that the Aero
Club of America had so far received ten
entries for the Gordon Bennett cup race.
OF these three were from England. three
from France, one from Italy and three
from America.
He said that while the Aero Club ac-
knowledged the receipt of Washington S
application for the meet that he would
like to know what amount Washington
would be willing to offer in prizes over
and above fixing up the grounds at Col
lege Park for the meet.
Mr.. Bishop said he was sailing immedi-
ateiy for France and was taking with
him the agreement signed by the Wrights
with the Aero Club of America, agree
ire to license machines that were to take
part in the Gordon Bennett cup race. II
was assured by the Wrights that the
license fee exacted would mot be UNI
reasonable and the agreement was to
Continue till the federal courts had de-
..ided against the validity of the Wright
patent.
Gillispie to Look Over Field.
The Aero Club of Washington was in
formed that Saturday of this week Law
renee Gillispie of the Aero Club of Amer
lea would come to Washington to look
over the field at College Park and to
confer with the members of the WASH
ington Club about the amount they were
willing to devote to prize money.
Mr.. Bishop said that he had considered
the plat of the fve-kilometer course at
college Park submitted to him, and was
convinced that 1t would be satisfactory
for the meet. But he wanted the plat
shown to Mr.. Gillispie.
President Bishop last night, in New
York, gave the first intimation that he
has yet given of a preference for any
particular locality for the next interna-
Iional aviation meet. He said that he
Favored Los Angeles. though he realized
that it's distance from the Atlantic coast
was against it,

House." he added. when YOU discuss
on this or>the attempted offenses Of
men high in the councils of the fepue-
liean party. they answer by misrepre-
senting what you say and by charging
you with partisanship I am well aware
that the offense Of lese majestic has been
fully recognized here by insurgents and
regulars alike on the other side of this
chamber. and l have been adtudged
guilty of it, but l propose to again rem
der myself liable to the same charge:
In the early days Of the republic the old
rule prevailed that man in public life
must be above suspicion; the rule now is
that you must not suspect.
The annals Of Congress, he said, would
be searched in vain to find another mes
congressional investigation under similar
facts.
II respectfully contend" concluded Mr.
Rainey, that the republican majority in
this House cannot afford to longer delay
a congressional investigation; and the
millionaire malefactors who control the
sugar trust and who are responsible for
the preparation of these gigantic frauds
ought to be held up to the contempt OF
the country. In Pittsburg they have
learned how to reach the men higher up.
They simply propose immunity to the
men whose conviction Is not important,
but who are only tools in the hands of
the principal malefactors, and as a re-
suit minor city officials were a few days
ago coming by scores in Pittsburg to the
Office of the prosecuting attorney and
telling their stories, duplicating the real
criminals. And the time may not be
far distant when men who pass in Pitts
burg as respectable citizens will pay
the penalty to which their criminal con-
due. has rendered them liable.
The Attorney General of the United
States, however. commences his prose
cutions and ends them with unimportant
officials and Observation-Disclosures check
ers, and the real persons guilty of the
most colossal fraud in the history of our
government are permitted to go about
without punishment, without exposure
still posing as honest men, still willing
and still able to contribute to the cam
paign funds of the republican party"

BURTON is TO FIGHT
Demands Reform in Rivers
and Harhor Legislation.

Disregarding the pleas of many asso-
ciates, Senator Burton of Ohio, chairman
of the national waterways commission,
who was chairman Of the river and har-
Dor committee when he served in the
House, and is now a member of the Sen
ate committee on commerce, today pre-
sented a minority report on the pending
bill which would appropriate about So,
00O. 600 for the Improvement of rivers and
narbers.
The character of his opposition, which
is sweeping arraignment of piecemeal
appropriations as well as a condemnation
of many named projects, makes it GER
tain that the contest to be waged over
the bill will be one of the most heated
in the history of the Senate.
The upper branch has seen many his
toric struggles over such legislation, in
Guiding day and night filibusters in the
closing hours of sessions. The fight this
year, however, will be along different
lines.
Mr.. Burton has indicated that he will
attack specific items. His objections
cover such wide range that the entire
Senate may be involved in the discus
sion.
The report made by Mr.. Burton is de-
signed to attract the attention of the
country as well as Congress. 1t is said
that If his opposition to majority OF
these great projects should be unsuccess-
full there will be launched movement
looking to the veto of the bill by the
President

Reform That Is Needed.

1.-The following are the most important
rules which should govern:
Provision for the completion of an
Improvement, when adopted, save In ex-
ceptional cases.
"a greater degree Of discrimination In
making appropriations for river and har-
Dor improvements by emitting projects
condemned by the experts who make the
surveys and recommendations. by care
full review Of pending projects in the light
of present conditions. q more careful
consideration before the adoption Of prof.
ects with special reference to avoidance
Of lock and dam construction, save IN
streams which are capable of being made
arteries OF commerce.; a. division OF ex-
pense when exceptional advantages ac-
crue to private property of specific locali-
ties, or when the protection of private
property IL the main object and navtEa-
tien subordinate; the exclusion from the
bill of proposed improvements which do
not have to do with navigation.
"A general policy of improving the
main streams before attention IL given
to branch streams, and the adjustment
Of depths and dimension with a view to
a uniform and comprehensive plan for
the development Of waterways.
IAN adjustment OF relations between
the railways and waterways with . view
to securing greater cooperation.

Instances of Waste.

Opposing a system of making partial
appropriations, Mr.. Burton cites the
Sandy bay harbor of refuge. Mass, as
\ glazing instance of this so-called waste
tul plan, and mentions also in this con-
nection Bar Harbor, Me-; the Harlem
river and James river. Va.
Mr.. Burton opposes appropriations for
such projects as the Norfolk to Beaufort
and lakes to gulf inland waterway prot
cots, because they have not been APP
proved by the government engineers and
their ultimate cost remains to be deter
mined.
He also objects to improvements of
rivers which necessitate the maintenance
of costly locks and dams, and cites a
large number Of projects I'm that connec-
ton. He contends also that the United
States has not been niggardly in its APP
preparations for rivers and harbors, but
on the contrary more than any other
country of equal population and equal
area.
In summarizing his report Mr.. Burton
says:
i am prompted to file this minority
report because, in my judgment, substan-
tial reforms should be accomplished in
our rivers and harbors legislation. This
Is impossible without correcting many
abuses which are manifest In the pending
hill

Charge of Partisanship.

He was aware, he said, that he was
again rendering himself liable to- the
charge of partisanship.
II will probably be again excluded by
the republican majority from serving on
the investigating lbmmittees of this

Newspaper Space.

Every line in newspaper costs it,
publishers something. If it is to bene.
fit some individual, he may fairly ex.
pect to pay something. Ye do not gc
into a grocery store and ask the pro.
prietor to hand you out ten pounds OF
sugar for nothing, even though the gro.
Ger may be personal friend and ever
though the gift might not be large
one.
If the beneficiary of advertising does
not pay for it, the proprietor has to
settle the bill. Nevertheless many peo-
pie can not seem to learn that news-
paper pays its expenses by renting its
space, and that it is just as much en-.
titled to collect rent for every day that
space is occupied as you are for the
house you rent to tenant.
Most newspapers expect to treat re-
ligious and philanthropic enterprises
literally, yet in spite of this many of
these enterprises expect the newspaper
to give them space rent free, while they
carry their job printing to some other
shop. The place for them to look for
support IS the place they patronize. -

Stone Sets the Appointment.

James A. Stone, a prominent business
man and citizen of Bristol and we'll
known Democratic politician of Virgin
ia. has been appointed State mineral
land assessor for Virginia, by the State
corporation commission. Mr.. Stone will
accept the position and enter upon his
new duties at an early date.
A bill was offered and passed at the
recent session OF the Legislature Gre
atiog the Office for the reason that all
lands, properties, ETC., of the State are
to be re-assessed during the present
year.
Among the important duties assigned
Mr.. Stone under the province OF the
newly created position will be to confer
and CO operate with the county and city
assessors in so far as their labors touch
the mineral lands, mines and mining
property Of each county and city in the
State, with the view of equalizing all
land assessments as much as is posi-
BILE.
The Office, created by the Legislature,
is for term of five years, giving the
State corporation commission the power
OF making the appointment. In the
event inspector Stone finds the assess
ments, in his opinion, too high or too
low, as compared with other lands and
properties, he will report the same to
the State corporation commission and
they in turn will make investigation and
instruct commonwealth attorneys to pro-
coed to correct all inequalities. The
new position will apply largely to the
to the Southwest, which is the recog-
nized mineral section of the Old Domin-
ion.

Lines on The Joy and Hope Taught by
Springs Return.
By Robertus Love

Behold, the bough- bare trees.
Through winter unbedight,
All naked to the breeze
That bitterly doth bite.
Begin to bud
Despite the chill,
Unfrozen still
Their hearts warm blood.
Alone the mountains cap
Is prisoned now with snow;
From winters icy trap
Released, the rivers flow
Unchecked; the rills
Glide on like song
Through valleys long
Between the hills.
All, soon the buds shall burst
In flower, then to fruit
Shall come again, as erst
From year to year.
Though mute
These teachers be,
That life indwells--
This lesson tells
Each orchard tree.
The reawakened year
Attests the glad rebirth,
So rife with charm and cheer
The rearisen earth!
The stone is rolled
Away, withdrawn
The curtain. Dawn
Cleans in like gold!
Let all mankind acclaim
The Joy Of life, the hope
That flashes like fame
From every peak and slope.
The victory's wonl
Let songs arise
To Paradise,
For life goes on!

Richmond dispatches state it as a set
tied fact that Captain Carlton Nc
Carthy is to be chosen to fill the new
Office of State Accountant, created by
the Legislature just expired. Ever
since the suffragans of Richmond a few
years ago refused to re-elect the gen.
tleman mayor Of the Capital City, Cap
tain Mccarthy and his friends have
seemed TO labor under the impression
that the Democracy Of the State is in
duty bound to provide him with a fat
job. If he has any special claim upon
the Democratic party, we are unable to
perceive in what that claim consists
neither have we been able to discern in
him any transcendent fitness for this
particular position. Still, if the ap-
pointment in question is going to put an
end to candidacy which otherwise bids
fair to be perpetual, let him have it.
This continued and continuous bobbing
up for public Office on the part Of one
and the same man is decidedly wearing
on the public nerves. Norfolk Virgin
ian-Piiot.
Our esteemed Norfolk contemporary
must have forgotten hat the machine
owes Captain Mccarthy debt for that
very gushing report he made last year
after examining the States Depart
ments as an expert accountant. The
report was timely and just what was
wanted.
