TlL AFTER INVESTIGATION
Is MADE.
STATEHOOD FIGHT ON
PRESIDENT WILL NOT INTER
FERE WITH ARIZONA AND
NEW MEXICO.

Washington--Several Western sena-
tors recently have made It known that
President Taft Is positively opposed to

wool tariff during the special session
Of Congress and before the tariff
board renders a report covering its
Investigation OF the wool-growing
business OF the country and its COM
pArison with the wool-growing bust
meas OF other countries coming into d.
rect competition with the United
States.
II Is intimated in fact that the Presi-
dent has said he would not approve
any radical reduction in wool tariff
rates II such a measure should be
passed prior to the report OF the tariff
board.
II is confidently believed. therefore.
that regardless OF the action the House
may take upon the Underwood bill
there will be no legislation at this
special session or before the tariff
board reports upon wool, which will
make any material change In schedule
X. the wool tariff schedule.
President Taft will not interfere In
the statehood fight in the Senate.
New Mexico and Arizona people who
are anxious to secure statehood by the

In the bill passed by the House have
been seeking to sound the President
as to whether he will veto the bill.
The belief now prevails. based upon
remarks made by the President. that
he will not veto the bill, but he will
not interfere for or against 1t in The
Senate. The President is not SO high
~ pleased with the bill as 1t passed
the House. owing to the opportunity 1t
gives to the people of Arizona to ratify
their proposed recall of the Judiciary.
but he Is not disposed to stop the adj
mission OF the two territories by
veto OF the bill now before Congress.
Governor Curry and others who
wish to work for the passage of the
bill did not care to waste time doing
80 II the President was hostile to the
measure.

ton committee, who came here in the

sired.
The War Department cannot state

to the Mexican maneuvers, but troops

cured a proposition from the Wright
brothers for a two-day flight of two or
more airships. but will go to Dayton.

If the sea were to break on the
shores of Coney Island in time of calm
weather with the same force as 1t
does on the shores of st. Helena Sec
tons of South Brooklyn would be un-
inhabitable in all likelihood. They
have at st. Helena what are known as
calemmas. or heavy rollers. These
rollers are particularly bad in time of
calm weather. They strike the island
with such tremendous force that the
spray is sent over Goat Pound ridge,
which is several feet above sea level.
Scientists are of opinion the calemmas
are caused by seismic disturbances be-
