TAFT WILL VISIT
PACIFIC COAST
wingAround the Circle Will
Take Six Weeks.

Practically all doubt az TO President
Taft's visiting the Pacific Coast during
his September tour has been removed.
When the adjournment of Congress early
this week became a certainty President
Taft told Pacific Coast Senators that
they could count on his visiting their
bailiwicks il he got away from here this
week.
The present programme arranged for
the trip will take about six weeks. The
President will probably begin his journey
with a day in Syracuse, n. Y, at the
State fair. probably on September 1G.
From there he will go south to visit the
exposition at Knoxville, Tenn, and then
will go north again through Michigan and
Illinois, heading from Chicago, south
west across Missouri toward Kansas,
where he has accepted an invitation for
September % at the State fair at Hutch
inson, Kans.
From Kansas the President will go to
Colorado. visiting among other places
Denver and Colorado Springs.
At Salt Lake City, Utah, there is to be
a celebration of Old Folks Week during
the Presidents visit.
In San Francisco, Mr.. Taft will break
ground for the Panama-Pacifc Exposi-
tion. A four-day programme has been
arranged for him in that city. After a
trip around California the President will
go northwest into Washington and
Oregon and return through the North
western States winding up his trip with
visits to Minnesota, the Dakotas, an6
Wisconsin.

ing out and Won Kiderlen entered the
role of a diligent IL comparatively OBJ
scure official of the foreign office. The
obscurity was only nominal, for though
for many years he was relegated to
Bucharest as a minister, it fell to him
to pull the threads of German foreign
policy. both in the Balkans and at Con-
stantinople. 1t was these employments
chiefly which supplied Won Kiderlen with
the two great opportunities of his diplo-
matte career.
Suddenly Baron Won Kiderlen was re-
called to- Berlin to conduct the negotia-

superiority of Germany, forced Russia

ARMY AVIATORS TO FLY
TOMILITfA ENCAMPMENT
Hundred-Mile Journey Planned by the Signal Corps
Officers Stationed at College Park School,

there would be no obstacles in the way
of the much-talked-of flight. For the
first time since the Inauguration Of the
United States Army Aviation School the
aviators will make a long aerial journey.
Starting from the aviation field at $50
o'clock, the scouts will fly by way of
the northern section Of Washington to
Chevy Chase. They then will follow the
track of the Metropolitan branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, passing
over the towns along that route. No def
mite line of flight has been mapped out,
but a record-breaking trip is promised,
for the aeroplanes will cover by the
shortest route fifty miles each way.
While at Camp Ordway. the aviators
will make fights for the guardsmen,
and may demonstrate, in addition to the
scouting practice, the danger Of aerial
bombs. In theory, at any rate they will
make a conquest Of the camp. as they
will arrive there just as the guardsmen
are arising, in this way following out
the principle of sunrise attacks, the early
| morning thus far having been selected
by aviators as the ideal time for inva-
| sion.
Deing the first body of militiamen tc
| have army aeroplanes at their camp
They will have chance to make theo
retical captures OF the aeroplanes A
/ sham battle between the troops and the
aeroplanes has been discussed by officers
| of the camp. and should the army officers
consent. they may have chance tC
show their ability at bomb throwing.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-21

The first invasion of a militia camp by
aeroplanes will be made this morning
when the army aviators from College
Park, in the Wright and Wright
aeroplanes. will fly over Camp Ordway,
near Frederick, Md, to show the Ma
tional Guardsmen some aerial scout ma
neuvers, and then descend in time to eat
breakfast with the District soldiers.
Lieuts. Milling and Kirkland. in the
Burgess-Wright, and Lieut.. Arnold and
Capt. Chandlef, in the Wright machines
will make the trip, starting from the
aviation field at College Park at $50
o'clock. landing at Camp Ordway, after
fifty-mile trip. at 6:45 o'clock, and re-
turning to their hangers at go o'clock
in the afternoon.
With the promise of perfect weather
conditions. the aviators expect to cover
the distance between College Park and
Frederick in one hour and fifteen min
utes. After eating breakfast with the
Iuardsmen, they will inspect Camp Ord
way. probably show some of their
stunts for the benefit OF the embryo
soldiers, and then return after a rest and
overhauling of their machines. The aero
planesin which they will take the trip
are in perfect condition.
Capt. Chandler, commanding officer at
the aviation school, went to Frederick
Yesterday afternoon to make arrange
ments for the trip, and a survey of the
weather bulletins made him confident

TAFT HAS READY
COTTON BILL VETO
Congress Need Not Delay Ad.
journment Over That"

Settling himself comfortably after din
ner last evening, President Taft began
to read over a copy of the cotton bill
and to frame in his mind the terms of a
veto message, which he will send to Con-
gress on this bill as soon as it has been
placed before him with Speaker Clark 5
signature attached.
This is about the last task which con-
fronts the President for this session.
Though Mr.. Underwood insisted that an
extra day should be added to the ses-
sion to give the President reasonable
time TO act upon the cotton bill. II he
desired, there is little probability that he
will need to avail himself of this cour-
tesy. There is little that he can say in
vetoing the cotton bill beyond what he
has already said in his vetoes to the wool
and free list bills, and the message will
probably be ready to return to Congress
an hour or two after the bill has been
received.
If Congress adjourns, as is now gen
orally supposed IL will. at 5 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, Mr.. Taft will re-
main in town only four hours. He plans
to leave at o'clock in the evening for
Rochester. y. Y, where. on Wednes-
day, he will attend the grand encamp-
ment of the G. A. r., ina day having
been set aside as Presidents day by the
veterans. From Rochester Mr.. Taft will
go directly 10 Beverly to take his long
postponed and much-needed rest.
He will remain in Beverly only three
weeks. About the middle OF September
he will depart on a tour across the coun-
try, visiting States in the South, the
Middle West, Northwest. and on the Pa
cific Coast. His trip will take some six
weeks. This will leave him only month
before the beginning of the regular ses-
sion of Congress in December. OF this
month. two weeks will be devoted to rest
and two weeks to writing his message
to CONGRESS for neXI session.

efforts to rise, saying: Madam, will you
kindly permit me To-
No, no.

prose and verse. Mr.. Sellar was the
youngest son of the late Prof. Sellar,
and he had some reputation as an author.
The sudden upset of their wedding was
a fruitful source of speculation at in
Vulnerable oclocks for months after.
Tragedy followed romance in painful
sequence in a later case of an earrs
daughter breaking her engagement OF
marriage. She was Lady Marjorie Frs
kline daughter of the Earl of Buchan,
and just before Yuletide three years ago
she became engaged to the Hon. Arthur
BrodriCk. the brother Of Viscount Midle-
ton. once so well known as Mr.. st. John
Brodrick, minister of war during the
maficking days of decade ago. Lady
Marjorie. though very charming, with
dark eyes and soft, wavy brown hair,
was serious-minded, and is well-remem-
bered at the Children's Hospital, in
Great Ormonde street, as Nurse Erskine-
On the other hand. Mr. Brodrick was a
typical man-about-town. first-rate
waltzer. and very much in request with
London hostesses. The engagement
lasted only few days. and was then
suddenly terminated. and not long after
Lady Marjorie's body was found dead
upon a bleak upland moor.
Such an occurrence as the desertion of
a lover upon the very steps of the altar,
as that OF Lady Constance Foliambe,
has no precise parallel. but about seven
years ago London was Startled by the
news that the marriage of the daughter
of the lord mayor had been tragically
prevented. The lady was Miss Constance

JILTED AT THE ALTAR.

Hundreds OF girls have done the same
thing as did Lady Constance Foljambe,
and so have earls sisters. then why
should her jilting of her fiance at the
steps of the altar be cried out as nine
days wonder, Perhaps, after all, it Is
something to know that young ladies Of
the haute noblesse, who fall in love. even
with parsons, may repent of their bar
gain and create -ublic talk just like any
of her sisters of the commoner clay. HUI
man emotions, after all, are pretty much
the same in the breast Of Kate or Jane
as in that of Lady Clare We're de We're.
The generation that busted itself not
for nine days, but ninety, with the beau
tiful Lady Florence Paget-who, by the
way, was a marques sister-and the
artful way she Tilted that grand old Eng
lish squire, Henry Chaplin, has all but
passed away. Henry Chaplin still lives
very much so. in fact-but Lady Florence
is dead. She died only a year or two ago.
though, so she lived to see the tables
turned with a vengeance, and no mis-
take Lady Florence came of a very
sporty family-the Anglesea Pagets, and
as Henry Chaplin was a great racing
man also, the engagement created q sem
sation~in in society. One day Henry Chap
lin drove up to Swan e Edgar's with
his la6ylove: he alighted, passed
through the shop, met the Marques of
Hastings in a back street. eloped with
him, and got married. 1t was shabby
trick Lord Hastings soon began to
plunge" on the turf; and how he laid
against Henry Chaplin's Hermit in the
Snowsform Derby lost over e10c,000 and
the historic estates of Loudoun, and died
the following year, is a story which is
too familiar to need relating.
Mr.. Henry Chaplin was the chief win
ner of Lord Hastings lost fortune, and
as eventually he married dukes daugh-
ter, became a cabinet minister and the
friend of his king, the sensational way in
which Lady Florence Paget had Tilted
him has been among the pleasantest
recollections of his life.
1t would not be expected that the hy-
meneal arrangements OF British aristo-
Gratis and American heiresses would
gang aft agley," but they do sometimes.
For instance, there is the Countess of
Essex Years ago. when she was merely
Miss Adele Grant, she was courted by
the late Earl Cairns and the marriage

it was mutually arranged to let 1t be In

course, became Countess of Essex, and
has lived-more or less-happiiy ever
after.
A notable society wedding which didn't
come on was that Of Lady Margaret
sackville and Mr.. Edward Sellar. Every
thing was in readiness for the event, and
the wedding was to take place at Edin-
burgh. Wedding presents by the score
had arrived, both bride and bridegroom
being popular. Lady Margaret was the
youngest Of Earl De La Wars three
sisters. She was noted for her INTEL

Commodore Vanderbilt used often to
arbitrate his tenants disputes, and one
day two farmers called on him in hts
function of arbitrator.
The commodore, before consenting to
act, put to the first tenant the necessary
question:
