GERMAN CRUISERS PLANS.
Will Engage in Torpedo Practice in
BuZzards Raw.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, August ga
The German cruiser Bremen arrived in
Buzzards bay today. and it was an
nounced will conduct torpedo practice
In the bay. A tug has been engaged
here to assist in the maneuvers.
Considerable local speculation has
been caused as to the right Of a for
eign warship thus to indulge in mill
tary operations in United States
waters.
At the Navy Department today 1t
was said there is nothing unprece-
dented In a foreign warship's engaging
in target or torpedo practice in Amer
lcan waters. and also that United
States warships frequently engaged in
such practice In foreign waters. Ger
man warships have had such practice
in American waters a number Of times,
once in Chesapeake bay.
1t Is usual. however. for a foreign war
vessel which intends to practice at tar
gets or with torpedoes in American wa
ters to notify the government before be-
ginning. So far no notice has been re-
ceived at the Navy Department OF the
intended practice by the Bremen in Buzz
yards bay. The practice, 1t was said,
will undoubtedly be held outside the
three-mile limit and in way so as not
to injure the people OF the adjoining
country in any way.

TAFT WILL PASS ON
BANK LAW QUESTION
Macveagh's Decision on
Wickersham's Report Held
Up for the Present.

Secretary Macveagh will not make
any decision at this time upon Attor-
ney General Wickersham's report
which holds that the relations Of the
National City Bank Of New York and
the National City Company may be a
transgression Of the national banking
laws.
Because Of what IL believed to be
difference Of opinion between the two
cabinet officers. all the papers In the case
will be sent to President Taft at Beverly
That President Taft would review che
case developed suddenly today. as Sec
retary MacVoagh was ready to make
public the Attorney Generals findings
and his own decision.
For that reason he declined to give any
fntfmation OF his position, but 1t Is known
that nearly all his advisers feel that II
any definite attitude toward the extern
into trust companies and security COM
panies were announced at this time the
whole question Of financial legislation
might be entang1ed when II comes up at
the next session OF Congress with the
monetary commissions report
Sees Concentration az Result.
Mr.. wickersham's finding deal directly
only with the reported holdings by the
through the medium Of the National City
Company. The question Of the interest Of
national banks in trust companies arose
as consequence Of these ind
ings. and attention was directed
to the case Of the holdings Of
the Continental Commercial National
Bank Of Chicago in the Continental and
Commercial Trust Company. Secretary
MacVeagh was chairman Of the board
of that bank before he entered the
cabinet.
Attorney General Wickersham takes
the position that concentration Of bank
ing capital might take place il national
banks were allowed to acquire the
stocks Of other banking institutions.
The Treasury Department for about ten
years, however. has been tacitly approx
ing such relationships with certain limi.
tations, in order that the national insti-
tutions might meet the competition of
state banks, which usually operate under
very liberal provisions.
Aside from the question of public policy
Secretary MacVeagh's advisers. 1t is said.
believe that no provision of the national
bank act has been violated. They take
this position. however, without regard to
whether further legislation is desirable
bearing upon the cases under considera-
ton.

MANY BIRDS ON THE WAY |
TO NATIONAL MUSEUM 4
In Transit From Old Smiths0-
nian Building to New
Quarters.

Flocks OF birds are migrating today
from the old Smithsonian building to the
New National Museum. They are not
winging their way. either. They are go
ing by slow freight. with the assistance
of several colored men and hand barrows.
The work Of preparing for the transfer
OF the bird display to the new building
has been progressing for months under
the direction of William Palmer. one of
the chief bird sharps OF the Smithsonian.
He has had cases of all sorts, shapes and
sizes built and will be busy for weeks
IL not months arranging the new arrivals.
many of which are old friends, In their
new quarters.
Arrangement Of Specimens.
1t has been great work to decide on
the arrangement Of the display speci-
mems. They are to be arranged so as to
be more of q popular object lesson than
they were In the old building.
So far as can be done, a geographical
arrangement will be followed, but birds
insist on not being hampered by
political divisions. and there are many
specimens that range from Maine to
ranged by families. and birds Of re-
lated group will be put as nea. as pos
sible In one place.
There also will be maps by the biolog-
ical survey, showing the ranges OF differ
ent species, so that q man from Okla
homa can find his home birds II he so
desires.
The museum has q great bird collection,
one Of the finest in the world. The col
lection Of individual mounted specimens
is immense and there are, beside, groups
OF many of the birds in cases. showing
them In their favorite pursuits OF rearing
their young. fighting and gathering their
accustomed food.
The museum is fortunate In having an
egg and a mounted specimen Of the great
aux, a bird that Is now extinct, and
whose egg is quoted in the dealers cata-
logues at $1,000 with not many OF them
available at that price. The museum was
lucky also in having a big collection Of
birds from Martinique before the VOL
canic eruption wiped out many OF them
and rendered some species wholly extinct.
Even when the thousands Of specimens
are displayed In the new building 1t will
represent but a small fraction Of the mu-
scum collection, for there are cases upon
cases OF bird skins-hterally cords OF
them, from all parts OF the wprld-that
never have been mounted and never will
be, but are kept entirely for study and
exchange.
