There are two theories Of tariff re-

Of p rinciple, but Of method.

separate bills for separate schedules.

The assumption, growing out of ig-

Mr.. Clark, that President Taft or
Senator Cummins or any other repub-
lican has discovered something new in
tariff revision by the separate schedule
scheme, is preposterous. As far back
as the Fifty-second congress, Mr. Chair
man Springer introduced separate bills
for separate schedules and even for
particular items which were derisiyely
denominated springer's popgun bills,
by ribald republican speakers and
writer's, and several years before Judge
Springer was chairman Of the commit

ture locating the capital in Oklahoma
City, is to be recognized by the state
officials Following conference Sat

court, the criminal court Of appeals, the

All official business Of the state will
be transacted from Oklahoma City as
the result Of the action of the legisla-
ture until such time as the supreme

capital.
This means that the supreme court
will sit in Oklahoma City to hear and
render a decision ON the legality of the
capitol bill
The decision Of these high officials
OF the state to remove Immediately to

ters for the supreme court. the board

THE TACOMA CLUB
Homestead. Penn. Organization To Camp
At Bay Ridge Forty Strong

For some weeks past there ha
been frequent cores pondence be
tween the president of the Tacom;
Club, of Homestead, Pa. and Mr.
II. Scott Arnold, General Traffic Mana
ger of the Maryland Electric Rail
ways Company annapolis Short Line
The object of the Correspondence has
been the planning of arrangements
for camp of some thirty to forty
young men, at the one-time popular
resort on the Chesapeake Bay-Bay
Ridge-one of the most picturesque
sites on the Bay.
Phe Tacoma Club has a membership
of seventy, from thirty to forty of
whom will leave Pittsburg, Pa, on
Monday, August Is, for Annapolis.
The party will travel via the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad to Baltimore,
arriving at Camden Station they will
take a special car over the Short
Line for Annapolis, and from here
will be conveyed in carriages to Bay
Ridge, as there is no pier for them
to land by boat.
The Tacoma Club is composed of
prominent citizens of Homestead,
Pa, including the Hon. John F.
Cox, Speaker of the House of Del
egates of the State of Pennsylvania.
Its membership includes several
detectives and officers, so that "good
order" is guaranteed The club is
out for three weeks camp and out
ing, and has chosen Bay Ridge in pref
erence to other sites in its own State,
nearer home.
The prospecting party declared
themselves well pleased with the site
and spoke in the highest terms of the
surrounding country when the COM
mittee made its report. The campers
will bring their own outfit and will
pitch their tents on August Is, not
to break camp until September 5,
Labor Day, giving them full three
weeks outing.
II is understood the Tacoma Club
takes this vacation every year, but
seldom comes so far from base as
on this occasion. The countrymen
and farmers near Bay Ridge are
looking forward to a harvest when
the Tacoma Club arrives, and Anne
Arundel vegetables and fruits will
doutless make a hit with the Penn
sylvanians.

U. S. HOLDS UP THE HORNET
Captain In Estrada's Interest Held On
Charge OF Violating Neutrality Laws

On the complaint of representatives
of the Madriz Government at New Or
leans, La, the captain of the former
United States gunboat Hornet was
arrested there yesterday afternoon on
a charge of violating the neutrality
laws.
The Hornet, it is alleged, has been
purchased for the Estrada faction in
Nicaragua. 1t was planned to send
the vessel to the tropics, there to en-
gage the Madriz gunboat Venus.
The arrested captain, W. o. Moon,
gave bond last night for $4,000.
He will have hearing today.
The Hornet, which is an auxiliary
gunboat and which was formerly at
tached to the United States mosquito
fleet, is the property of Nathan S.
Stern, of New Orleans. No attempt
is made to conceal the fact that the
vessel is loaded with munitions of war
to be taken to the Estrada forces in
Nicaragua.
The Hornet was to have sailed
yesterday for Bluefields. AS she is
ostensibly under contract to carry
ammunitions to Estrada she is held
to be merely common carrier.
However, the Madriz followers there
feared she would be sold to Estrada
as soon as she reached Nicaragua.
The yacht is trim craft and
mounted with six-pounder guns. She
would be big addition to Estra-
days fighting equipment.

AERO-CYCLE TESTS CONTINUE
Interest OF The Public In The Ames
FlNing COntrivanCe To Build Another
Machine

Although the general public sees
but little of its work. and would pos
sibly not understand its workings if
they saw even more, the queer looking
flying machine invented by Congress
man Butler Ames, gets its testings
each day from its platform board the
torpedoboat Bagley, off the Naval
Academy.
Much interest continues to be mani
tested in the aero-cycle as this partic-
ular type of flying machine has been
christened, because of the wheel-like
attachments on which it is to climb
the heights. At the same time the
general public, which had expected to
see some fancy flying of the type
they had read about in connection
with the Wright Brothers and other
more experienced birdmen, is a wee
bit disappointed.
The tests Mr.. Ames is making
here, however, do not seem to be
understood. They are entirely de-
signed to try the lifting power of
the machine and to settle some
mooted questions in connection
Herewith before ano ther and a
larger machine is built with the i'm
provements these tests may show are

CRITICALLY ILL
A Niece OF DR.. George Wells Ia Serious
State OF Health

Miss Carrie Wilcox, niece of DR..
George Wells is critically i'll at the
Doctors residence on Charles street.
Miss Wilcox is said to be suffering
with bronchial pneumonia and com
plication of diseases. Two trained
nurses are in attendance day and
night, and Baltimore specialist was
called in consultation.
Miss Wilcox is a sister of Pay
Clerk George w. Wilcox. of the Ma
val Academy, who resides on South
gate avenue, Murray Hill. She is a
young woman of broad learning and
high culture, and a prominent worker
in the Ladies' Cemetery Association.
1t is said her recent illness was
caused by a cold contracted in the
work of recent improvements at St.
Anne's cemetery, which she and a
number of other Annapolis ladeiS
supervised.
Her serious illness is deplored by a
large circle of friends and her ulti-
mate recovery is hoped for. Her con-
dition. however, is said to be very
serious, if not critical.
