NOW THE DEBUT OF THE
AVIATION CIRCUS.

Thus early. decided change has
come over the aviation business. The
new epoch is marked by the ineorpor-
alton Of the international Aviators
made up of John B. Noissant, Charles
K Hamilton, Roland G. Garros, Rene
Simon, Edmond Audemars, Rene Bar
rier, and John J. Frisbee and the
troupe is to go around the country
possibly around the world-giving ex-
hibitions.
Heretofore the aviators have been
drawn from here and there, but this
new organization, which is the first of
its kind in history, stands prepared,
Ike the venerable circus and the equal
" welcome Wild West show, to give
an exhibition, weather permitting
wherever 4the inducements are 5Uff-
cient to cover the expenses"
This Is radiea departure from the
custom Of demanding large guarantees
and extra -a1rt prizes But Mr.
AIoissant exPiai-s this seeming modesty
by saying that -r..s the troupe VIII
be in the nature u a twentieth cen
tury circus, nevertheless due attention
viii be paid TO the educational side
Of the enterprise. Thus school chill
dren and inmates of charitable orgsni-
cations IN all cities VIII be admitted
to the exhibition free Of charge
The aviation circus looks as II 1t
would be a boon to the communities
which, up to the present time, have
not been able to meet the demands
OF the airmen who, wherever they
have gone, have left behind a we'll
developed deficit

STREET CAR COMPANY IN
CREASES DIVIDENDS.

Just at this time, when We are dis
cussing the question of street railway
service IN Washington, It is well to
note that the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, which is usually
ready with a poverty plea when called
upon TO make improvements, viii, or
December 7. put its common stock on
q ? per cent basis.
Until last year. no dividend had
been paid on the common stock, issued
at the time of the eompany's reor-
ganization in 1902 Last year a divi-
dend Of 1 per cent was paid On June
I, this year, a dividend of I per cent
was paid, and now it Is announced
another dividend Of ! per cent viii be
paid December I, indicating that the
net earnings Of the company are expe-
Tieneing a healthy growth.
In connection with the fact that this
company Is at present opposing the
demands of the public for certain i'm
PrOvements in ears, its prosperity, as
revealed in its dividends, is especially
significant For the first three years
after 1902 it paid 10 dividends. Then
It began paying 5 per cent, OF s425,O 900,
on its preferred stock Of $500. 1000.
and has done so ever since Last year
it paid I per cent, or s65yOOO, on its
common stock Of s6,5OO,OOO, and this
year it win have paid 2 per cent, or
$4,000, on this security.
In other words, the dividends of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company were nothing from 1902 TO
1908; $4,000 annually from 1905 to
1909; $4,000 in 1909, and VIII be
s555,0OO in 1910.
Nobody would deny the stockholders
a fair return on their investment. but
in the face of the steadily increasing
profits, the public, which furnishes these
profits, is certainly justified in expect
ing Improvement IN service proportion
ate to the increase in dividends.

BATTLE ON BALLINGER
BEGINS ALL OVER AGAIN
Hot Fight Expected When Investigation Committee Meets
in Washington Ten Days From Now to Probe
the Famous Controversy

One Of the warmest committee fights
Of years is looked for ten days from
today. when Senator Knute Nelson. Of
Minnesota, chairman, and the eleven
other members Of the joint committee
OF investigation convene in Washing
ton and begin anew their efforts TO
solve the problems which have grown
out Of the BslIInger-PinchOt-GI
controversy, which is now passing into
its second year
The last sessions OF the committee, in
September, broke up in a goOd-sized
fight, and the members have bCen
scored by both friends and foes Of the
Administration
The adjourned meeting. TO be held

six Republican members early last Sep

after having walked out Of the commit

before, refusing TO complete a quorum

OF the members which existed at the
September meetings Of the committee
win continue, but there IS chance OF q
switch at the last moment which viii
upset present calculations entirely.
While none OF the committeeman has
shown by sign or word that he IS shazy,
yet a number Of Senator BaIIingcr's
friends are known TO be displeased with
the action Of several members OF the
committee during the fan meetings
Senator Flint Of California, whose
votes during the Investigation made II
appear he intended 10 uphold the Sec
refary Of the Interior, took himself 10

left the gtandpat members without their

sions. DENLY was the one member who

otherwise he IS popular. Senator Root

the time the first meeting was called.
and he did not put IN an appearance
until the meeting OF the six Republican
members IN Chicago.
At the time Of he early faI meetings
there was some talk in Administration
circles that the Secretary had been for
saken just when he had expected vim
oication by the seven Republican mem
bers who had voted for him while the
investigation was on. and that he had
been made to suffer the embarrassment
Of having the conduct Of his department
made an issue during the campaign.
Many friends CT the Administration,
however, were glad that the quorum

has been shown that the Withholding Of

the party
As matters now stand, there viii be
three reports made oy the committee

houses. Two Of the reports were made
public at the Minneapolis meeting, that

the largest majority he ever received
showing that the voters Of Tennessee
know a real progressive when they see
one, and that the idea that Southern
voters are concerned only over purely
local questions and not ever national
questions is incorrect Judge Sims
thinks Champ Clark is the choice OF
the Democrats for the Speakership
but he adds:
In the great fight last session TO lib
eralize the rules OF the House. Mr.. Clark
took a very advanced position IN favor
OF taking from the Speaker all power
to appoint the standing committees o
the House. he made 1t plain that IA
case ne should ever become Speaker he
would not want such power he said
We were all human. and that It was
human 10 use great power more or less
arbitrarily
The Democrats cannot afford 10 take
any backward step in reforming the
rules in such a way as to take from the
Speaker the power 10 appoint the stand
ing committees So far as I am con-
cerned. viii not support any man for
Speaker who is not clear in stating his
position No evasion OF equivOcal dec
laratiOn goes with me
Judge Sims declares all right to
name standing committees must be
taken from the Speaker, and that the
people viii not longer tolerate one man
power in the House. He is opposed to
the secret caucus, too He regards as
nonsense the idea that the House has
not the time TO elect its committees,
and gives substantial reasons for his
position
Considering that numerous other
Democrats and powerful body OF
progressive Republicans take the same
position as Judge Sims, It IS perfectly
plain that the Democratic leaders can
not dodge genuine rules revision. They
may defeat such revision and thus
stamp themselves as reactionary in
the eyes OF the country, but the issue
has TO be met.

AMATEUR AVIATOR, DIR.

HEMPSTEAD, n. Y.-Special.-
While trying out new monoplane
upon which he had been at work FOR
months, DR.. II. Walden, an amateur
aviator of New York city, was severely
injured early today by "A fan of about
NIFTY feet when something suddenly
went wrong with the machinery. He
was plunged to the ground with his
machine, and when picked up was un-
conscious.
The monOplane matted in its progress
against the air the motor stopped
and fell almost directly to the earth
because of the mOnoplane construction
which does not let the machine glide
as the biplanes do when an accident
happens 10 the machinery. Or Walden
had been experimenting with a new
STABILITY device for several months, and
mad been making his practice nights
early in the morning, not caring to
have his experiments with his new de-
vice witnessed by the large crowds
that usually gathered at the aviation
grounds during the day when flights
are being made. When the witnesses
