HALLEY's COMET HIDES IT'S TAIL.
It's Disappearance For Two Months Was Noted Previous WNo
Likely to Be Visible to the Naked Eye For Some Time.

"The theory Of it's being foresnort-
ened or the head being between us
and the tail is altogether untenable.
A comets tail always points away
from the sun, and if there have been
any pictures printed in which this was
not the case they are incorrect. Some
times a second tail appears, and this
freak tail may point toward the sun,
but the main tail always points
away.
"If the tail is there and is merely
invisible to our eyes the spectroscope
might show it. There was, of course,
no such instrument when the comet
was here in 1886. We hope to be
able to use the spectroscope on it in a
short time, and may prove that the
tail is present by this means. The
fact that the spectroscope did not re-
veal its presence would not necessa-
rily mean that the tail is not there,
however, for it might be too dim for
that instrument -

BIG FLEET TO CIRCLE GLOBE
Taft and Secretary Meyer Am
bilious to Excel Roosevelt.
Admiral or Vice-Admiral in Command
Congress Must Provide Addi-
tionaI PersonneI--25 Ships.

Washington, d. C.--To close his
administration by sending around the
world the greatest battleship fleet
ever assembled under any flag is the
ambition of President Taft and his
naval secretary, Secretary Meyer.
The program becomes operative
July 1, this year. BY 1912 the plans
will have eliminated and the feet
will begin a trip around the world
which will overshadow that which the
sixteen battleships made at the close
of Roosevelt's administration.
Protection of the Pacific coast and
of our Far East possessions is provid-
ed for in the program. If Congress
allows the Administrator free hand
and acts upon the recommendations
of the President and Secretary OF War
by 1913 there will be feet on the
Pacific larger than the entire Ameri-
can fleet at the time of the Spanish
American War.
On July 1, 1912, the feet will be
made up for the closing year OF the
Taft Administration. with twenty-one
battleships, including the Wyoming
and Arkansas, the 20,000-ton dread
naughts just laid down.
The feet which will assemble in
Hampton Roads for its special trip
will consist of the battleships Wyom-
ing, Arkansas, Florida, Utah, Della
ware, North Dakota, Michigan, Con-
necticut, Louisiana, South Carolina,
Kansas, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Georgia, Nebraska, New Jersey, Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Minnesota, Mississippi and
Idaho, and the armored cruisers Ten
nessee, Washington, North Carolina
and Montana-twenty-o battleships
and four armored cruisers. The COM
mander-in-chief, it is hoped by Mr..
taft and Mr.. Meyer, will be vice-ad-
miral or full admiral
This, the most stupendous fleet
scheme ever adopted, will depend, in
a measure for its successful operation
upon the passage of the bill now be-
fore Congress for gradual increase
in the naval personnel.
If Congress fails to allow the per-
sonnet increase, the Secretary of the
Navy plans to shelve all of the older
gunboats and cruisers in order to pro-
vide a sufficient number of men for
the new fleet This, naval officers
pOlnL out, WOulQ pe Gripping JIG a
cific's fleet.
If the present program goes
through there will not be single bat
tleship, cruiser or .gunboat in service
which took part in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. 1t is planned. however, to
hold the older ships in reserve, so
that with fleet of twenty-five power
full vessels plying the Atlantic seas
there will be a second feet of eleven
battleships-a feet which will be as
powerful as the entire navy was
twelve years ago.

editor KILLS THE mayor
Result Of Three Years Feud IN
MOrehOuse, Mo.
Four Bullets Fired in Rapid Succes-
sion at DR.. Hart in Front
OF Store.

Morehouse, Mo.-Claude B. Hay,
editor Of the Hustler, local news
paper, shot and killed in the main
highway DR.. L. w. Hart, the Mayor
of Morehouse. The tragedy marks
an epoch in a feud that has lasted
three years and has involved all Of
the public men in this part of Mis-
souri, in one phase or another Of the
bitter controversy.
Hay and Hart both come from old
and prominent families of this State,
and each has been influential in town
and county politics. The trouble
began in 1907, when Hay made an
editorial attack on DR.. Hart at the
time the latter was candidate for
local Office. The physician met the
editor the next day in the street and
uuarreled and fought. A pistol was
drawn. it was said, but friends rushed
in. and the antagonists were separ-
ated before harm resulted to either.
From that time the two men did not
speak to each other, no matter what
occasion brought them together
After the town election recently, at
which the Aldermen were chosen, and
dlLGTT In. fI1dtt lllCA0o IL tA1O ~AsA7
zens' party were elected, a Socialist,
member of the opposing faction,
wrote an article severely condemning
Harris activity in the campaign. The
article was printed in Hays paper.
This caused a renewal of open ex-
preston of hatred between the Mayor
and the editor, and threats were
made.
Hay was in the main street when
Mayor Hart came out of store.
Without a word the editor drew his
pistol and opened fire. He shot four
times as fast as he could pull the
trigger of his weapon. Three Of the
bullets entered Dr. Harris body. The
Mayor staggered into the store adj
joining that from which he had come,
and an instant later fell dead.
Hay walked unmolested, pistol in
hand, to his newspaper Office and
there awaited the arrival of the po-
lice. The town marshal was the first
to get there and to him Hay surren-
dered. He was taken to the county
jail in New Madrid.
Harris friends took possession OF
the body, to be buried at Charleston,
Mo-, his former home.

Halley's comet was sighted by Pro-

val Observatory through a powerful
telescope. At 450 o'clock in the
morning Professor Hall saw the dim
outlines of the approaching comet.
It's position was one hour and forty
minutes west of the sun The comet
should have been visible during the
past week, but its approach was OBJ
scured by cloudy weather. This was
the first time the comet has been
sighted in this city. On May 19 next
the earth will pass through its tail,
and after that date the comet will be
visible only in the evening. 1t will
then be leaving the earth, not to re-
appear again for about seventy-five
years.

TO MARK Line OF LINCOLNs MARCH in INDIAN
illinois Representative Takes Up Prosecution Of Interesting
Historical Proect-Ony Oldest Inhabitants Have Memory.

Burlington, Iowa.--Representative
Frank o. Lowden, of Illinois, for
mer Burlington resident, has taken
up the prosecution of a historical pro-
ject of interest to Western Illinois
and to this part of Iowa. BY the do
nation of a sum of money he has fur
thered the project of setting up per-
manent markers to outline the march
which Abraham Lincoln took up in
the Black Hawk war. Only the oldest
inhabitants in those regions now have
any memory of the course of that
campaign, which is not adequately
outlined in history.
The object of the markers will be
to fix permanently the line OF march
and the camping grounds planned by
the martyr President. The way led
across the prairies of Illinois to the
Mississippi River at point near Bur
lington, then known as Flint Hills.
The march was made from Boards
town, Ill, to Oquawka, then known
as the Yellow Banks on account of
the peculiar coloring of the river shore
line. From Oquawka the route was
laid to the mouth of the Rock River.
There were two expeditions in the
Black Hawk war, one in 1881, when
Black Hawk escaped from the pursu-
ers and crossed the Mississippi, and
the second in the following year, when
Black Hawk returned to the Illinois
shore with the determination to re-
main.
Lincoln was made captain of one OF
the companies which took up the cam
paign against the Indians. The expe-
dition gave several names to the To-
calities along the route which are
still borne. 1t is interesting to note

the apparently lost tail of Halley's
comet is the belief held by Professor
Frost.
1T is worth noting that when it
was here before in 1885 the tail dis
appeared two days before the perihe-
lion, and was not seen again for two
months he said. 'Halley's is the
only comet ever known to behave like
this. 1t is probable that the tail is
there, but is so dispersed that it is
not bright enough to be seen.

HISTORIC ELM SAVED.
Washington Tree on Cambridge Com
mon Given New Lease Of Life.

Cambridge, Mass. After consider
able hard work on the part Of the
Cambridge Park Department officials
the Washington Elm on the Cam,
bridge Common has been put in ex-
eellent condition and probably will
live for many years to come.
According to the report. Just is
sued, strenuous measures-the same
as were used on the historic tree are
being used to save the trees bordering
Decatur street, many of which have
been badly eaten by the elm leaf bee
tie.
On the Washington Elm much of
the dead wood was removed, the tree
was sprayed twice with arsenate of
lead and watered twice week frcen

Washington D. G. - Willis L..
Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau,
issued statement that will bring
peace of mind to folks who are worry
ing about a possible collision with
Halley's comet Here is what Chief
Moore has to say;
Popular apprehension regarding
harm to the earth and its inhabitants
during the impending visit of Halley's
comet to this portion of the universe
is unfounded. The result of COLI
sion between the earth and a comet
would depend upon the mass of the
comet, the velocity of the bodies and
the angle of impact. A collision in
the present case will be impossible
owing to safety margin between the
tracks of the earth and the comet of
some 13,000,000 miles. The tail of
the comet through which the earth
will probably pass will be noticeable
only as an absolutely harmless lumin-
Gus gas or dust, and may produce
electrical and magnetic effects that
can be detected only by self-recording
instruments. A source of possible

CHARGES AGAINST THE

Hotchkiss Exposes Settlement

MORE PAID THAN RECEIVED
Committees Statement Called De-

Evasion of Law--Money Used in
Lobby at Albany.


Albany, N. -Superintenden
Hotchkiss Of the State Insurance De-
partment severely criticises several
matters in the affairs Of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company in the re-
port to be filed of his first extensive
examination of any life insurance
company since taking office, and the
first examination accorded the Mu-
tual since the Armstrong code went
into effect.
The examination was on the COM
pany's statement of December 81,
1908, and it deals with the Mutuaps
affairs for the years 1906, 1907 and
1908.
Close to quarter of million

out by the Mutual over and above
the amount received in the final set.

in this echo Of the life insurance
investigation the present Superin-
tendent finds his chief criticism.
These suits, instituted for the
purpose of getting back some portion
of the vast sums of money which the
Hughes investigation disclosed had
been used for lobbying at Albany.
were put in the hands OF a distin-
guished committee of trustees.
The committee reported that the
aggregate amount of money claimed
to have been expended improperly,
restitution of which was asked,
somewhat exceeded $4,000, 0O0," but
because of demurrers and various
'dilatory tactics interposed by the de-
PENDANTS, and also because of numer-
Gus Implications and complications in
the details of the claims, the COM
mittee, on the advice and with the
APPROVAL Of its counsel, recommend
ed that all the claims be settled upon
a payment by the Mutual of $3.50, 900.
This payment was divided equally
among Charles H. Raymond & Co.,
Robert McCurdy and r. A. McCurdy.
The Raymond & Co account was set
tied when the company paid that firm
the difference between $656,527.97,
the amount of their claims against
the company, and the $3.50, 900
agreed upon as their share of the
restitution fund, which subtracted
from the companys treasury the
sum of $406,59797.
The company settled the Robert
McCurdy account by paying him the
difference between $330,821.53, the
amount of his counter claims, and
$3.50, 900, or $80,82153, which was a
total disbursement of $4S7,349.5O.
which. with the additional restitution
, of $250,000 on the r. A. McCurdy
account, made the net subtraction
from the company's assets on the mat.
ter of the claims $237, 349.50.
Superintendent Hotchkiss brings
the fat charge of deception
The companys expenditures under
the head of supervision of old
business which amounted to 1884,
144.09 in 1908, the report says,
really were paid out not for super
vising old business, but substantially
in the form of bonuses to those agents
who were most successful in getting
new business. thus defeating the pur-
! pose of one section of the Armstrong
law, which limits the amounts to be
paid to agents for new business.
