State Department officials now are con-
cerned over the developments of the
latest revolt led by Felix D!az, centering
at Vera Cruz. Reports that the uprising
was backed by members of the Cientificc
party in the interest of Perfiro Diaz
ousted from the presidency by Madero
were received without comment
The cruiser Des Moines. ordered to Vera
Cruz. should arrive there tomorrow. The
Tacoma has been ordered from Blue
fields to Tampico.
Battle Outside City.
State Department advices say the op-
posing forces at Vera Cruz have agreed
that the battle shall take place outside
the city. This assurance has lessened
somewhat the anxiety which the depart
ment felt for Americans and other for
eigners In the besieged city.
1t is understood that the agreement be-
tween Gen. Huerta Of the federal forces
and Gen. Diaz who heads the rebels, was
not formal, but was rather a coincidence,
In which each recognized the Cams
which humanity imposes. 1t is supposed
here that the understanding was reached
without the interposition of a third
party.

Holt and Mrs. Scott presented a mar
Rage license which Magistrate Lewis is

mony performed. It was Hollis first ven-
ture. When the bridegroom and bride

Miss Scott and Richard Copeland OF Tren-
ton, stepfather of Beatty. Copeland ac-
companied the couple to act as witness
at their marriage. There was surprise
What are you doing here, dear?'
asked the astonished mother
"Why. what are you doing here your
self, mamma?" queried the equally sur
prised daughter.
The mother was the first to regain her
composure. She laughed and replied:
1--WE have just been married by Rev.
Mr. Wolfe"
THAT'S just where we are going for
the same purpose" answered the daugh-
ter.

Lieut.. Geiger Travels Fast in
Little CurtiSS Machine.
FIRST OFFICER TO TRY IT
Compelled to Make His Landing at
Speed of Fifty Miles an Hour.
KAB1TzKE AGAIN IN HARD LUCK
Unable to Finish Two-Hour Test
Flight of Weight-Carrying
Wright Owing to Mishap.

Nv hc-e-W-w-W. remarked Lieut. GeigeI
yesterday as he landed from round OF
the aviation field at College Park. where
he had tried out the little Curtiss racer.
"Whe-e-w-w' was his only remark as lie
famed himself with his helmet. 1t was
the little new machine that Lincoln
Beachy had been doing stunts in Friday
and for which he was barred from flying
any more War Department machines.
Beachy said the little aeroplane would
make seventy-five miles an hour. He
must have been within hailing distance OF
the facts for the aeroplane went like a
scared cat, and Lieut.. Geiger had to make
his landing at something more than fifty
miles an hour.
The new machine is the one assembled
by the enlisted men at the park. and
carries a seventy-five horsepower motor.
The surface and the head resistance are
both very small. and it certainly is fast.
1t has not yet been flown over a measured
course against stop watch, but the re-
suit will be interesting.
Geiger First to Try Racer.
Lieut. Geiger was the first army officer
to try it. He has been jogging around
the water front at the Washington bar
racks in a staid old hydro-aeroplanc that
makes about forty miles an hour. and the
transition to the racer was startling.
William Kabitzke the Wright aviator
who was demonstrating the weisht-carry-
ing Wright. again played in hard luck.
He went on his endurance test Friday
and after he had been aloft an hour and
twenty minutes he had engine trouble and
had to come down. The government en-
durance test calls for a continuous flight
Of two hours.
from 500 to 1000 feet and seemed to be
having no trouble at all.
How much longer?' called one Of the
spectators to an enlisted man who was
passing.
only twenty-seven minutes" was the
reply. just at that moment the big BIZ
plane dipped and came down to a slow
and graceful landing.
What was the matter, Billy" asked
sympathetic Signal Corps man.
Lost His Gasoline Pump.
Don't know" replied the aviator
with a wry smile. Guess 1 lost my
gasoline pump somewhere up there"
Anyhow the gasoline pump stopped
working just at the critical juncture
and the machine had to come down and
will have the whole grind to do over
Monday. The two-hour endurance
digit is considered about the hardest
and most undressing IF all the gov :
eminent tests.

told. He said he intended to use the
acid as mouth wash for his child. The
druggist recommended another solution.
however, and Ward Is said to have pur-
chased it. Shortly before O'Clock last
evening he went to the same druggist and
again said he wanted carboic acid. He
is said to have told the druggist q physi-
clan had told him to use it for a mouth
wash. He was given an ounce of the
acid.
Child Finds Father.
Going to his home Ward spoke to his
wife. Mrs. Maude Ward. and with the re-
mark that he was tired Of working, went
upstairs. He entered the bedroom. on the
rear of the second floor. About ten min
utes later his wife called him. Receiv-
ing no response she sent her five-year-
old child to call him. The child found
the father unconscious. Mrs. Ward went
to the room in response to the child S
cries and then called the police

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md, October 19.-That
one and possibly more cases Of hazing
have broken out among the student body
Of midshipmen became apparent today
when a court-martial convened under Or
ders of Capt. John II. Gibbons superin-
tendent of the Naval Academy. The ses-
sions of the court, as we'll as other details
Of the situation, are surrounded with the
most absolute secrecy. as Is generally
the case. Although the authorities de-
clined to give the name of the midship-
man on trial, 1t was learned from a re-
liable source, however. that the alleged
offender is q member Of the third class.
Offense May Warrant Dismissal.
That the offense Is of sufficient gravity
as to warrant dismissal from the service
Is indicated by the fact that the acad-
envy officials are vested with authority
to punish all mild cases of hazing. The
case now under investigation is the first
of any consequence that has developed
at the naval school for more than a year.
Commander G. II. Burrhage, acting
head of the department of English, is
president of the court. with Commander
A cambridge Hon and Commander H
H. Christy as members. Lieut.. Com
mander Charles p. Snyder Is the Judge
