GREAT FA[[SPROECT
BEFORE THE US. SENATE
Chamber of Commerce to Ask
for an Appropriation
of $4,000.

The first step in the effort to have Con-
gress appropriate $4,000 preliminary to
the government purchase of the land
about Great Falls, in order to light Wash.
ington by means of the water power, was
taken by the committee on municipal leg
islation Of the Chamber Of Commerce at a
meeting yesterday afternoon. A subcom-
mittee Of three was appointed to take the
matter directly to the Senate committee
on appropriations in an effort to have the
item inserted in the District appropriation
bill which is now pending before the Sen
ate. The subcommittee consists Of J. I.
Peyser. chairman; Appleton p. Clark and
L. J. Mather.
Report Submitted.
Chaplin Brown, chairman of the munich
pal legislation committee, told the COM
mittee that he considered the matter Of
great importance and that the board OF
directors at a recent meeting had referred
1t to his committee with instructions to
take whatever action was considered nec-
essary. He reminded the committee that
the District Commissioners had included
an item of $4,000 for the investigation Of
the feasibility of the project and that the
item had been left out of the DISCREET APP
preparation OIL Wnen IL was reported to
the House.
Mr.. Peyser said that his subcommittee
would look into the legal. practical and
scientific sides of the project and would
make a request to be heard by the SUBJ
committee Of the Senate appropriations
committee in charge of the District bill
early next week.
Referred to subcommittee.
A subcommittee was appointed also to
urge upon Congress to allow the employees
Of the District government thirty days
sick leave each year. A recent ruling by
the controller OF the Treasury has de-
MED District employees sick leave. The
subcommittee consists Of George c.. Cert
man. Byron Graham and A. D. Burr.
Joseph I. Weller called the attention of
the committee to a bill In the. Senat"
which proposes to enable the j.
States government to establish its lite
70 lands and waters along the Aanacostia
river, Eastern branch, the Potomac
river and Rock creek by equity suit in
stead Of trial by jury or other mode Of
procedure.

WILL SET HIGH MARK
Requirement for Governments
New Aeroplanes.
ADVANCE IN AVIATION
Test-of- Endurance Flight Increased
Twenty-Fold in Little Over
Four Years.

Although the requirements for the aero
planes to be built for the United States
government this year have not yet been
| issued, there is little doubt that they
will be severe enough to make the aero
nautic world take notice. The first gov
eminent aeroplane ever advertised for in
the world vas the one bought by this
government from the Wrights in 1908. 1t
will be recollected that the specifications
for this were drawn in 1908, and that many
people We're surprised at that time by the
amount of detail and the severe require
ments i'm the specifications. It was said
that the papers were drawn as though
the chief signal officer We're ordering an
ambulance OF a set of telegraph instru
ments that were a regular commodity.
At that time most people did not even
know that such a thing man-carry-
ing flying machine existed.
The developments justified the strict
ness Of the specifications. A year inter-
vened between the delivery of the ma
chine and its acceptance, owing to the
accident to Orville Wright, and in that
time aviation had made such progress as
to make the requirements Of the War
Department seem quite lenient.
1TOOd DIE requirements.
The chances are that the requirements
this year will call for an aeroplane that
will carry at least two passengers in adj
dition to the operator, that there will be
requirement of wide variation between
the maximum and minimum speeds, and
that the endurance flight will be required
to be at least 200 miles instead of ten,
as in the case of the first ma chine
The speed of aeroplanes for a short
miles an hour, by official figures, while
the unofficial figures for Charles HAM
ilton's flight were eighty-two miles an
hour over a four-mile course 1t Is not
likely that the War Departm will in
sist on more than sixty or seventy five
but there is quite a possibility that the
machine will be required to fly between
the extremes of thirty and sixty miles an
hour as speed variant.
French Requirements.
Some line on the modern government
requirements for an aeroplane are shown
in the advertisements just issued by the
French government These require fuel
weight Of $50 pounds and additional
weight OF $50 pounds, either in pas
sengers or equipment The machine must
fly with a minimum Of three passengers
averaging $50 pounds in weight, and the
staying qualities must be shown by three
successive flights of 200 miles each
In the original advertisements issued
by the War Department it was required
that the American machine carry fuel
for a flight of 1875 miles. At that time
this was considerably over the distance
record.

cables that all China Is threatened. A
number Of different countries have been
asked to send experts to the center of the
plague district to study conditions and
see what can be done to prevent it's fur
Their ravages. The Red Cross, at the sug-
gestion Of the State Department, is in
communication with Manila to secure If
science there whose experience in plague
conditions will make him an invaluable
agent in such work. The Red Cross will
pay his expenses to and from Manchuria;
while he Is there.
while the officers of the Red Cross
were In consultation in regard to obtain
ing this expert with Mr.. Dean Worcester,
whose department is the bureau Of
science, and with Col. Mcintyre OF the
bureau OF insular affairs, cablegram
was received by this bureau from Gov.
Forbes telling Of the serious loss Of life
the eruption Of the volcano of Mount Taal.
Gov Forbes, who is president of the
Philippine Red Cross board, a branch Of
the American Red Cross, stated that the
society there was organized and taking
active measures for relief. Mr.. QueZOn,
one OF the Philippine commissioners to
Congress, came into the Red Cross office
just as this dispatch was received to ask
for assistance for the sufferers from this
catastrophe. Through the insuiar bureau
Gov. Forbes was Immediately cabled from
the American Red Cross thousand dol
lars and was asked to keep us Informed
II further aid was needed. This Is what
any day may bring to the Red Cross, and
1t is for this reason that it is SO neces-
sary to have some available funds always
on hand. Every one who contributes, no
matter how small an amount, to the en-
dowment fund will have the satisfaction
of knowing that he or she is lending a-d
to the unfortunate sufferers from great
disasters wherever these may occur
throughout the world, and that by their
contributions the aid can be given imme-
diately without any delay and when 1t is
most needed.

not punch with his left and it was
