CANNON AND CLARK
PRAISE LINCOLN
Unite in ExtOlling His Vir-
tues Before G. A. r.

Speaker Cannon and Speaker-to-be
Champ Clark paid tribute to the memory
of Lincoln at the anniversary exercises
of the Department OF the Potomac, G.
A R., last night at the First Congrega-
tional Church.
An audience that placed seats at a pre-
MUM heard the virtues of Lincoln the
man and Lincoln the statesman recount
ed by speakers who included Representa-
rive w. A Calderhead, of Kansas; Col
John Tweedale. y. S. A; Department
Commander Henry A johnson, and John
McElroy, of the Washington G. A R.
Speaker Cannon showed all the vim and
Ere for which he is noted when called
upon by Chairman McElroy to make his
address. His remarks were extempo-
raneous and dealt with the commercial
and industrial awakening Of the South
following the war. for which he held
Lincoln responsible, rather than of
the traits and deeds of the man him
self.
Mr.. Clark characterized Lincoln as one
of the few truly great men of history,
and furnished some sidelights on his early
life, showing that contrary to the general
impression, Lincoln was an ambitious
man, and shaped. his life with a view of
attaining the Presidency.
-HThe greatest power Lincoln welded
IN the preservation of the Union" he
contended, was due to the fact that he
was born Kentuckian, married a Ken
tucly woman, associated with Kentuck-
ians, even after he had established him.

pie Of the border States, and preventing
Kentucky and Missouri from seeding.

Music by the Marine Band and vocal
selections by Mrs B. II. Smart were part
OF the exercises.

Washington, D. c., March 4.-Sena-

his reasons for his action. In con.
versation with fellow senators, he
! based his resignation on the vote cast
by the Democratic senators in favor

trary to his ideas of government that

party, would take the position they
did in their vote on that proposition

BI-PLANE is MORE
RELIABLE THAN MONOPLANE.
Latter Develops Greater Speed, But
Former Is More Steady in Vary
ing Air Currents.

San Antonio, Texas, March 4.--Re-
cent experiments made in this city
and other points in the south, par
ticularly those at San Diego, Califor
mia, by military authorities have
proven that the biplanes are the best
suited for aerial navigation. While
the monoplane develops greater
speed, it is said by those in a posi-
tiOn to know, it is not altogether
trustworthy in varying air currents.
I In addition to using the machines for
observations and carrying messages
+ the War Department proposes to con.
duct number of experiments in
wireless telegraphy, telegraphic
machine in the air craft enabling the
operator to transmit the result of OBJ
servations directly to military head
quarters. For this work it is main
! tanned that the biplane has many ad-
vantages over that Of the monoplane.
Flights made in this city during
the past week with a Wright machine
! demonstrated that it can ride with
perfect safety in high winds and
varying currents. Many flights were
made in this biplane in a 80 mile
wind-a choppy, variable wind, too.
Through al this the machine behaved
admirably and demonstrated to the
minds of military men that for safe
ty and utility the biplane has many
advantages over the monoplane. 1t
is the opinion, however, of army men
! that the government may decide to
use the monoplane of the Curtiss type
as we'll as the biplane of the Wright
make. But while this may be the
result of recent experiments, there is
no question about army officers being
a unit in the opinion that the biplane
is the best general purpose machine.
It. is understood that since the flights
here under war department direction
that the Wrights will be directed to
construct machine large enough
to carry ton or more and that in the
near future experiments will be made
with flying machine in delivering
supplies. Those who have given care
full investigation assert unhesitatingly
that the uses of the flying machine
of the biplane type for transportation
purposes are in their infancy and the
next twelve months will see
most startling developments.
