AEROPLANES WILL RACE
SMIDLEY AND SOUTHARD Ma
CHIMES CONTEST.
One Will Be Started in Baltimore
and Other in This City-Event
Some Time Within a Month.

In the course Of month. it is expected.
an intercity race of aeroplanes between
Baltimore and Washington will be held.
The two machines that it is planned to
race are a monoplane built by J. H.
Smidley of this city and biplane built
by William Southland and DR.. Elvers of
Baltimore. Both of the machines were on
exhibition at the recent automobile show
in Baltimore
Each Of these machines Is the second
full-sized machine that the inventor has
built Mr.. Smidley was engaged here
last year on a monoplane OF peculiar de-
sign. This was tried out several times
at Benning, but never got off the ground,
owing primarily to a defective starting
device. Since then he has built a new
machine that is more on the lines of a
Bleriot monoplane. This was on exhibit
ton in Washington at the auto-aero show
and was then taken to Baltimore.
The Southard machine is more like the
Wright in general appearance. One of
the same type of machines has made
some short flights, and 1t is thought that
the new machine can do the distance
from Baltimore to Washington.
Arrangements for the Race.
The arrangements now are to start the
machines simultaneously from opposite
ends of the course. 1t has not been defin-
itely decided where the start and finish
of the race will be, but it is thought that
one machine will start from the Washing
ton monument grounds and that the other
will start from the Pimllco race track.
The Smiley machine is very light.
Weighing only DDS pounds. 1t has one pro-
peller and is driven by an eighteen horse
power motor. The Southland machine Is
heavier, weighing $50 pounds, and has a
horsepower motor. If the machines
will fly it is thought that the trip from
Washington to Baltimore can be made In
about an hour.
1t has not been finally decided when
the flight shall be made, but 1T is hoped
that it can be tried in about a month.

POTOMAC FREE OF ICE.
Masters of Sailing Craft Getting
Their Vessels in Readiness.

The Potomac is again free of ice, and
navigation by sailing vessels, as we'll
as those propelled by steam. is I'M
obstructed. From this city to the mouth
of the river the shores are covered
with fast softening cakes of ice, but
on the river hardly enough can be
found to make a good, cool drink on an
August day.
There is little or no danger of another
freeze this winter. and vessel masters and
owners whose craft have been out of
service since long before the first of the
year are having their vessels overhauled
and made ready to return to duty. With
in the next week or ten days the Potomac
will be full of vessels bringing wood.
lumber and other cargoes to this city and
the busy spring season will be on.

Secretary Wilson and DR.. Wiley De-
clared to Be Insincere.

their offer to make a test case of the
constitutionality of the pure food regula-
lions relative to the shipment of bleached
flour, is made in a letter from repre-
sentatives of the milless' national de-
tense committee. They claim that the
federal officials have had ample oppor-
tunity to make test case and that the
millers of the northwest invite inspection
of the plants in which bleached flour is
made, contrary to the pure food law. it
Is claimed. The millers say there has
been unfairness on the part of the gov
eminent in conducting the suit now pend
ing in the New Orleans courts.
Secretary Wilson denies that the mill
ers did not have time to prepare for the
New Orleans case, saying they knew of
it days in advance.
DR.. Wiley, whom the millers accuse
of having conducted "a newspaper cam
paign of SANDER and calumny," declares
that the only campaign he had ever con-
Quoted was that against the manufacture
ers of impure and adulterated food.

CINDERS PROTECT BANK.
Steel Company's Plan to Stop Riv-
er's Inroads at Giesboro Point.

For many years past the wash of ths
seas against the high bank along the
river a short distance below Giesboro
point has been gradually undermining
the bank. causing large sections to fall
into the water. The Firth-Sterling steel
plant was located on this shore several
years ago, and to stop the inroads of the
Potomac the managers OF the plant hit
upon the expedient of protecting the bank
with cinders. and the plan has proven
effective. Cinders from the big furnaces
of the steel plant are hauled TO the edge
of the bluff and dumped over. forming
a covering over the soft clay foot or
two thick. Against this the waves and
tides. aided by the winds. dash. but the
cinders prove good protectors, and so far
this season there has been no Gazing in
of the bank.
II is stated that the entire water front
of the steel plant property will be pro-
tected in this manner.

Express Cars Laden to Roof Cause
DELAY in Trains,

MACON, Ga, February 2S.-Passenger
trains In Georgia are unable to make their
schedule because of the express cars load
ed with whisky, which they carry, accord
ing to commercial travellers who have
been investigating the problem of late
trains, which have caused much irrita-
ton.
Drummers who travel out of Chatta-
nooga and Jacksonville into Georgia say
that every passenger train that leaves
those places carries three express cars
packed to the roof with whisky. At
every stop time is lost delivering the wet
packages to the thirsty Georgians. At
every transfer point where other roads
intersect there is a long wait for the
expressmen to deliver the whisky mark
ed for those points.
'On recent trip from Jacksonville
to Macon said a commercial traveller,
my train arrived over an hour late
because of the time lost in waiting on ex-
pressmen to unload packages of whisky
along the line. The same thing is oc-
curing on every road in Georgia. and
explains why no passenger trains are
arriving on time

FOR STUDY OF SPANISH.
American Consul Thinks It Would
Helm Our Trade Relations.

That the Spanish language should be
more generally taught I'm high schools
and academies of the United States. and
that the young men who are now finishing
their educations and fitting themselves
for a business career should have a
knowledge Of this language, is recon-
mended in a report received by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor from
Consul G. d. McGoogan OF Progreso,
Mexico.
He states that among the many factors
that would tend to draw and hold trade
between the United States and the Latin
American republics is more general
knowledge of the Spanish language, Gus
toms regulations. tariff laws and com
mercial usage Of the Spanish-American
republics on the part of the people OF
the United States.

purpose OF municipal water supply, ac-
cording to reports to the Interior De-

as, he said. he had completely lost touch
with the outside world. He added that
he would require an opportunity fully to

any opinion.
