If the Washington baltimore Aviation
Committee meets this morning, accord
ing to schedule, there promises to be a
bitter fight as to what action will be
taken in regard to the erroneous state
ment of Cortlandt Field Bishop that the
death OF Thomas r. Walsh puts College
Park out OF the running as the site Of
tie international aeronautic event
That the withdrawal Of Mr.. Walsh's
pledge of $2,O00 would in any way infiu-
ence the advantages Of having the big
concourse here was denied In half
dozen sources in both cities yesterday.
There was almost universal condemna-
ton OF Mr.. Bishops attitude.
Faction for Bishop.
There is said to be a faction OF the
Washington Aero Club. OF the class
termed pink tea aviators" by orville
Wright, who ,hink President Bishop has
not tried to ruin Washingtons chances
for the event
The other faction, including almost the
entire Baltimore delegation in the conn
mittee will fight for instant action to-
ward convincing the rank and file Of the
Aero Club of America that Mr.. Bishops
remarks should be taken no more seri-
ously than the testimony of a prejudiced
witness.
THAT irregularities throughout the long
investigation OF the claims Of the various
cities who have sites TO offer are the
death kneH of Cortlandt Field Bishop as
a factor in American aviation is conceded
by every practical aviator in the East.
said a local enthusiast last night
offered a Bonus.
'Wined and dined in every city he Wis
tied, Mr.. Bishop inspected the various
sites. including College Park, in much
the same spirit that a prosecuting attor-
ney shows in cross-examining a witness
for the defense.
why, il has never been denied that
Bishop offered a bonus out OF his own
pocket in case the Long Island Offering
Of New York was chosen" said the same
citizen. And it has been charged, with
out even a semblance Of a denial. that
this offer was made before he accepted
the hospitality of Washington and Baltl- |

It may be said for the insurgents that
they strongly desire TO see the admins

not permit themselves to be mixed up
with any attempt TO delay or block the

Tariff Delay Recalled.
THE insurgents in all their fights on

block or delay legislation. and the claim
is justly made that tariff legislation
would not have been delayed if we
could have settled the night on Cannon

No Meeting of Insurgents.
THE insurgents have held no meeting
recently. and do not intend TO hold any

yiduais, rather than the result OF any
concert of opinion The wish 10 carry

seems to realize that he has a response

In closing his interview. Mr.. Murdoch
remarked that the injunction bill can be
reported out Of committee at almost any
time now. and that, on the whole. good
progress has been made with necessary

Senators Not worried.


Senator Bristow, another Of the radical
/ insurgents. had this to say;
The progressive Senators are not wor-
ried about anything, and do not feel Il
/ necessary to make speeches defending
themselves. They are standing by the
principles they believe to be right. They
are standing on the Republican national
platform. and have confidence that their
constituents will approve their course.
Il think Mr.. Wickershsm's speech is
very able and adroit, and In many things
fully approve Of it, said Senator Borah,
of Idaho, who is counted among the near
insurgents in the Senate This great
constitutional lawyer, however, seems 70
have forgotten that there are three
branches of the government. He seems
to be somewhat familiar with the fact
that there are the executive and judicial,
but has entirely overlooked the legislative
branch
THAT Members of Congress may not
discuss with earnestness and zeal the de-
tails of measures. ana differ with other
members of their party as to what the
terms of a bill should be. without being
charged with giving aid and comfort to
the enemy, narrowly escapes the ridicu-
lous. In fact if it is not ridiculous. it is
something that it Is not polite to mention.
Test Not TO BE Accepted.
'"The test they are applying to party
loyalty is one which this country will
never accept again. A party must be
broad enough to give range and latitude
TO full and free discussion or it will go
to pieces"
The Senate Republicans did not care
to comment for publication upon the
Presidents words but insurgents of the
House freely approved them.
The President showed very liberal
spirit said Representative Davidson, of
Wisconsin. There was nothing to take
exception to in his speech. He said, in
effect, that every man should be judged
by his actions We are willing 10 stand
by our record. Congress ought to real
lie that the President has done all he
can do and settle down and pass the
legislation he has asked for"
i like President Tafts speech" said
Representative Hayes of California, an
other insurgent leader 1T will make
for peace. and that is what we want"
The Presidents speech was in a
proper vein." said Representative Davis
another insurgent. He holds that hon
est differences of opinion on the tariff

Wickersham's speech, especially with ref
erenee to Republicans who do not agree
with the organization ia all things"
