COACHING TRIPS
PLEASE ENGLISH
View of Scenery on Route
Attracts Travellers.

London, July s-when Alfred Wander
bilt, some seasons ago, began to run his
new famous coaches between London and
Brighton he probably did not imagine
that these trips revealed to a number of
Londoners the wonderful beauty of the
country between this city and the south
coast Of England, and that as a result
coaching would reach a popularity which
former generations, who merely used the
stage coaches because there was no other
way Of travelling, had never dreamed Of
Still, this is really So More coaches
will soon be travelling along English roads
than ever before, for company has been
formed, which is even now building motor
coaches, which within week or two will
be making daily trips between Piccadilly
Circus, Dover, Brighton. and other we'll
known seaside resorts
The coaches are to be a delight to the
eye. They will be built on the lines of
the old stage coaches, but it is intended
that they shall be eminently utiIitarian.
1t will be part of the scheme Of the
company to place its facilities at the dis
posal VI the post-office for parcel-carry-
ing purposes, and also to devote 10 per
cent Of its profits, in return for certain
facilities, TO the towns through which
the coaches pass The usefulness Of the
scheme has been amply proved in the
case Of the motor service linking up the
seaside resorts of Thanet and Weymouth.
1t Is stated, however, that the project
may not end with the stage motor
coaches. The canals, in course Of time,
will be utilized IN a Y11rIch eraatar axtanf
for passenger traffic, and there are signs
that the motor-driven craft may soon be
as familiar a sight on our great water
ways as the motor omnibus is at present
in the streets Of London.

RAILROAD TAKES
AROUSE PEOPLE
Germans Resent Additional
Burden on Travellers.
Special Gable to The Washington Herald.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Berlin, July S.-Germans are undoubt-
edly a tax-ridden people, and as a rule
they submit meekIy to new burdens, but
they have drawn the line on the new tax
on railroad tickets, which puts a curb or
their desires to initiate their Kaiser, who
as everybody knows, is generally known
as der reise Kaiser Cthe travelling
Kaiser).
Every railroad ticket costing less than
Is cents is exempt from taxation, but
every ticket costing more pays a tax
graduated according to the price. The tax
on a ticket costing from SIS to $50, for
instance, is IS cents in the first class, 10
cents second class, and 5 cents third
class. The tax on a ticket costing from
s. to $50 is go cents first class, 80 cents
second class, and p cents third class.
The tax produces about s5,O0OOOO a year,
but its result has been to drive the first
class passengers into the second. the
second-class into the third, and the third
class passengers into the fourth class.
At the present time first-class cars are
run at a loss. The government would
like to abolish the first class altogether,
but influential persons object.
The fourth class has hitherto been tax
free, and in order to induce passengers to
return to the higher classes the govern
ment has suggested the abolition Of the
present system Of taxation in favor Of a
universal tax of about 1-2 per cent on
tickets of all classes.
1t is believed, however. that the Reichs-
tag will not consent to this, and the latest
proposal is that the tax on first-class
tickets shall be reduced, that on second
and third class raised, and a very mod
crate tax imposed on fourth-class tickets
The travelling public is already raising
an outcry against the proposed changes,
which would benefit only first-class pas
sengers, and are universally described as
a check to social progress.

PIGEON SCOUTS SNAP
PHOTOGRAPHS ON WING
German Doctor Uses Birds to Garry Cameras with
Which to Get Information of Air Travels.

Berlin, July S.-The Germans have con-
ceived new idea for obtaining informa-
ton which cannot be supplied by human
agencies. They are training pigeons as
photographers.
The inventor of the pigeon photographer
is DR.. Neubrovner, who, occupying villa
some distance from the sanatorium Of
which he had charge, thought of estab-
fishing pigeon post between the two
places. He found that some Of the birds
played truant. and made up his mind to
know where they went
He had small cameras made, which he
fixed on the birds breast with braces.
These were passed under the wings and
buckled on the back. He invented an
apparatus by which pigeons flying at the
The Washington herald., 1911-07-09

rate Of sixty-three miles an hour car
take eight photographs during this period
without knowing 1t.
The first results were mediocre. These
pigeons, which were badly trained, re-
volted against the cameras. The pictures
obtained were so blurred that they
furnished no Information" DR.. Neu-
brovner renewed his experiments and has
obtained better results.
A humorist suggests that all that IS
now necessary is tn put uniforms on tie
pigeons and enroll them in the German
army. The Germans have great faith in
their pigeon scouts" believing that in
future war they will be able to bring
back photographs of an enemy's posi-
tions.

Washington, Feb. 24.-In less than
an hour the senate late today voted
the Sutherland amendment into res.
olution providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people; fixed next Tuesday as
the time for voting on the resolution
itself; made the case involving Lori

No sooner had Beveridge concluded
his speech in opposition to Lorimer
than the senate took on the semblance
of a race course, with almost dozen
senators "jockeying for position"
Hale was the first to be heard in
the general demand for recognition
and he asked that unfinished bust
ness be laid before the senate. This
was a resolution providing for con.

at 6 o'clock tonight through the new
shaft. The remains of the last four

The fire which began burning Thurs
day morning on the 1,166-foot level
is out and has done little damage to
the mine. Six Americans are among
the daad, the rest being principally
Slavonians. Owing to the absence
of data of the exact number OF men
who entered the mine it is impossible
to say how many remain in the work

Slavonians. State Mine Inspector
Ed Ryan is on the ground conducting

Exoneration for Judge John F. Cow

certain citizens of Devils Lake was CIV
en- by the House of Representatives Of
the state of North Dakota yesterday
afternoon, when the report Of ma
jority of the investigation committee
was adopted, that report being for the
indefinite postponement of further &C.

Chairman Jordal and Messrs. Dosseth,
Cunningham, Andrus, Boerner and

only Representative J. J. O'Connor OF
Pembina, democrat, being in favor Of
the preparation of articles OF impeach-
ment against the defendant jurist.

was Immediately precipitated that kept
the house in turmoil until after the
majority report had been adopted, and
when, with the "clincher" motion pre-
vailing, a motion to recess until Z ~
