Last. Sundays severe lightning which
preceded the heavy rain alarmed many
anglers on the river and made them hurry
ashore. One angler who did not relish
waiting too long was Patrick Riordan,
one Of the lucky ones who7pay. frequent
visits to the upper Potomac.
Col Hurley tells a story or how his
friend tried to get his steel rods out OF
the way when the lightning flashed about
the river: Riordan was fishing near the
Black Ripples, q short distance from
Great Falls. when the heavy clouds ap-
peared and had already landed bass
Weighing three and half pounds.
And when a fisherman has such
fish," his friend added. Its not an easy
thinks there are still as good fish In the
sea as were ever caught"
The clouds had no terror for the angler.
it is related but at the first flash of
lightning the game was declared on.
Steel rods were disjointed and put out
of sight. and it was case of pull for
the shore, and more than score OF an
glers were sheltered at Trammells until
the clouds rolled by.
At this season OF the year fishermen
have the consolation of knowing they can
get saltwater fishing II the water In the
upper river is too muddy for bass fish
ing, and while those who expect to get
the biggest fish are going to Norfolk.
Lynnhaven Inlet, Ocean View and other
places in that section. there are others
who are satisfied with smaller fish at
points along the Potomac river and near
by resorts on the Chesapeake bay.
1t is said that no sea-fishing grounds
south OF the New England banks offer
lovers of the piscatorial sport better OPP
portunity for successful Indulgence in
their favorite pastime than those off
Ocean View, and hundreds of Washing
ton anglers go there every season.
Not only do the waters off Ocean
View abound with a great variety Of
fish," said a local angler. but the fish
also are plentiful. Hogfsh. spots. croak-
ers, sea bass. trout and numerous other
species of the fnny tribe are caught
there
Early this season the fishing grounds
off Ocean View were buoyed in accord

TYPHOID FEVER PREVAILS.
Elgin, ILL.,, Physicians Investigate
Milk and Water Supply.

ELGIN, ILL.,. July 2O.-More than a
dozen children living in the same neigh
borhood here are victims Of typhoid
and the health authorities after an inves-
tigation OF the water and milk supply are
convinced the germs are being carried In
manner similar to the Typhoid Mary
case of New York several years ago.
"Other sources of possible infection
having been eliminated" says Charles l.
X Kohn, commissioner of health, in a bull
letin issued last night, ''the only logical
inference is that a typhoid carrier exists
some one who has or had had the fever
and in whom the germs still exist, and
that this person is spreading the fever
probably by an insignificant means"

COST OF Government
IN Philippine ISLANDS
Taft Regards Territory as More
Nearly Self-Supporting
Than Any Other.

President Taft has sent a message to
the House stating that Congress so far
had appropriated $3.451 ,925 for the Phil
rppine Islands. The House In a resolu
tion had asked to know the total expense
resulting from the occupation of the
islands.
The President stated that aside from
the direct appropriations it is impossible
to estimate accurately any expenses in

whether the army in the Philippines cost
more than 1t did at home. He believes II
should be charged to the United States.
Military Establishment.
The President gave no figures for the
cost Of the military and naval establish
ment, but said that from 1898 to 1900 the
military establishment cost about $1,000
Geo. which was paid from the revenue OF
the Philippines. That amount has been
repaid, SO that the President said the
United States was DEBTOR to the islands
for about 81 100000.
The President made 1t clear that he re-
garded the Philippines as more nearly
self-supporting than any other territory
Of the United States.
Revenues of the Islands.
He wrote:
(. "All expenses attached to the collection
Of revenue. or to the administration OF

courts, to the survey Of the islands, to the

Although a strict party vote in the
House elections committee yesterday

Of his seat In the House of Representa-

clared today that his fight is just begin

Representative Catlin's case is one in
which politics, society and wealth are in
termingled in amazing fashion. The
charge against him is pressed by former
Representative Patrick E. Gill. and it is
alleged that $4,000 or more was spent
by the Catlin family in the young man g

Use Of AEROPLANES
INTHE NAVAL SERVICE
Capt. Chambers Favors the
Equipment, But Objects to
So-CalIed "Hangar Ship"

Although Capt. W. Irving Chambers Of
the naval bureau Of navigation. who is in
charge of aeronautical work in the navy
is an enthusiastic advocate Of the use of
aeroplanes In naval operations, he objects
strongly to published statements that he
favors the adoption Of hangar Ship or
garage vessel Of great speed as q naval
auxiliary.
In a recent statement on the subject,
he made 1t clear that he did not believe
In the so-called hangar ship for the
reason that the only purpose OF such a
vessel could be better provided in other
ways, either by utilizing battleships or
swift scout ships. He admitted that it
would be a great advantage to have an
1t could be launched and on which it
could land at sea.
Garage Ship Proposed.
For such a purpose a garage ship has
been proposed to accompany the feet and
shelter half dozen aerial scouts. In order
to be Of any real value such vessel
must be Of great deck space and of
speed equal to that Of the feet. A vessel
of that description would cost about
$1,000. 600. Capt. Chambers declared that
its probable service would not justify its
cost. HE agreed with Lieut.. Lapointe,
the French naval expert. that large bat
telships easily can provide space for the
and landing of aeroplanes with
out interference with essential features
of design or great expense. In addition
to that, he said. an aeroplane can be
taken apart easily and stored below If
1t be desired to do so during action.
One advocate of the hangar ship for the
navy said that the vessel "shall be Of
size. cruising radius and speed sufficient
to enable 1t to maintain its proper place
with either battleship fleet or fast
scout cruiser squadron" And he added
that 1.-The idea is that the aeroplanes may
ing units, in which case they should. It is
said, be carried on vessel attached to
the scouts rather than the real fighters.
On that account great speed will be nee
essary for the hangar ship

"Picked Me for Slaughter"

THE charge of fraud that was raised
Immediately after the last election by the
democrats of Missouri had no foundation
in truth or fact and the court SO held. but
in order to extricate themselves from
their embarrassing predicament and to

leaders of the democratic party were

Parker Best for Losers.

Lieut.. Parker did the best work for the
losers. He scored three goals and did
the majority of the guarding. Parker's
hitting was sensational, as he seldom
missed the ball. and prevented at least
ten goals by shooting into the Quaker
defense and getting the little white ball.
The City Troop ponies were far superior
to the service mounts. and this, in q
measure, explains the largeness of the
score. Rosengarten's mount, a thirteen
year-old pony. was in the game all the
time. appearing to take as much pleasure
in the battle as his rider, and followed
the ball all the time.

Capt. Chambers Idea.

Discussing these views, Capt Chambers
said that 1t was apparent from them that
the ideal hangar ship is the ideal scout
itself. Certainly" said he. 'the scout
must have no peer in speed, and 1t would
be, out of the question for one such ship
to be of any use in supplying aerial ac-
cessories to q dozen or more scouts scat
tered over an extensive scouting line.
Now 1t has been my idea from the be-
ginning that all scouts should be sup
piled with naval aeroplanes and fitted to
use them, just as soon as We can de-
termine exactly what Is needed for the
fittings. This is the idea that prompted
the use Of the scout Birmingham for the
first demonstration in flying from ship
II go further. however, in believing that
all large ships. battlesfips and armored
cruisers, should be supplied with naval
aeroplanes. for which there are many I'm.
portant uses other than scouting. But
the most urgent reason for placing them
on the larger ships first, as soon as
practicable, Is that 1t Is only by having
the aeroplane right In the midst of the
feet. In the company Of the officers and
mechanics who must be made as familiar
with 1t as they are with guns and boats,

Guilty of providing the officers and men
to man her and the people to receive the
instruction away from the ships to which
they belong.
In view of our difficulties in getting
battleships and essential auxiliarles from
Congress, hope the misguided author OF
this newspaper hoax will endeavor to cor
rect the false impression that he has
created concerning this absolutely impos-
sible special ''hangar-ship."
