This il the weeks work so far as
planned at present. Without doubt
some additions will be made 20 1t. As
il stands. however. it will bring the
total number Of persons sent away up
to July Is to 4,037.
The Tribune Fund is aiming to secure
outings for 200 children during the
summer. The total OF next Saturday
will have reached little more than a
third Of this figure, although only two
weeks and a half of the season will
have gone By. This situation is not
entirely the result OF chance. As July
is almost sure to be the most severe
month Of the summer. it is always
planned TO rush the work at the begin
ming of the Fresh Air season, in order
to give As many children as possible
the benefit of the outing when 1T Is
needed most.
Many towns and villages are already
working hard on plans for Tribune par
ties TO be sent out during the latter
part of July and the early part Of Au-
gust. Binghamton has sent in its IN
vitation for $50 children and will prob
aply raise it to nearly 300 before the
children actually set out for that hos
ptable region. Utica is to find places
for at least one more crowd OF chil-
dren; so also is Auburn.
Up in Vermont a new district has
opened its heart to the Fresh Air idea
and will probably invite large num-
Der of boys and girls TO take possession
Of It's hills and fields. This is the
beautiful region round about Man
chester. Over in Jersey. too, several
Localities which have either never re-
ceived Fresh Air children or have
dropped the work for q number OF
years are to help.

'SALEM RELIEF FUND
PASSES THE HOUSE
Republicans Solid in Support OF
Senate Amendment for
100000.
frrom The Tribune Rureau.l

Washington, July lo.-Ovcrridirg the
objection of Chairman Fitzgerald and
Democratic members OF the Appropris-
tiohs Committee, the House accepted
to-day a Senate amendment to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill appropriate
ing 100000 for the relief of the Salem
fire sufferers. Mr.. Underwood and Mr.
Fitzgerald were among the leaders who
voted against the Senate appropriation
urged By the President in a special
message.
A brief debate preceded the vote,
which was ISL TO sc for the relief fund.
The Republicans were practically solid
Tor the appropriation. and the srgu-
ments OF Democratic economists were
unavailing in the face Of the Prcsi-
dents espousal OF the allowance and
the appeal of the needy
Representative Page, of North Caro-
lima. contended that Massachusetts,
should care for its own sufferers and
not come with hand outstretched to
Congress.
The House disagreed to other Senate
amendments TO the sundry civil bill,
and it was sent to conference after the
Salem appropriation had been accepted
amid the cheers of its supporters.

Tests of tie new blades were made TO-

The final trials of the America to-

decided TO use a composite system Tor

The work Of installing large pom

prize-winning gyroscopic stabilizer. IS
expected to arrive here tomorrow and
will consult with Lieutenant Porte re-
garding the possibility of obtaining
ore Of the instruments for use on the
America when she flies from New
foundland.
On the first day that the America
was tried out her flying qualities were
proved. The problem of getting the
machine into the air has engrossed at
tention of the Curtiss experts ever
since, and the unusual design and size
Of the America have rendered it diff
cult to decide just what means are
best.
The aviators are convinced that a
method Of lifting the machine, fully
loaded. from the water will be found,
and probably within two or three days.
Porte is so sure of IT that he is max
ing arrangements for leaving.
II is simply question Of some time
and more patience. II is asserted with
emphasis that the attempt to fly across
the ocean will be made within the next
few weeks, and that reports of any real
trouble with the America can come
only from those who are not familiar

the introduction OF rifle shooting AS
one of the recognized sports in the

still further stimulated by recent
act of congress authorizing the free
issue of rifles and ammunition to
such clubs and to cadet corps.
This work was begun several years

PUTS
BAN ON OPIUM

Panama, Oct. 16.-Panama has
agreed to cooperate with the canal
authorities in tine suppression of
opium traffic. Notice has been Civ
en- to Low Lam, the Chinaman who
mas for years enjoyed a monopolistic
concession for the sale of opium in
China, that his contract will be ter
minated at the end of 30 days time.
BY this action the republic will lose
$4,000 annual revenue, which was
the price Low Lam paid for his con-
cession.
The abrogation OF this contract
sooner or later had been foreseen.
since Panama was one of the sigma
tories to the International conven-
ton for the suppression of opium
traffic, but Panama would not be
bound to observe the convention I'M
til its general ratification.
The action Is highly gratifying to
the canal authorities who have been
| fighting against a spread of the
opium smoking habit among the
Chinese and others in the canal dis
trict. Several cases involving the
prosecution Of alleged opium snug
glers have been set for trial in the
United States district court for the
zone.
II is said that quantity of the
drug is being smugSled across the
Colombian border. The Panama gov
eminent has sent a special police

To overcome the erroneous impress
sion in the minds of members OF

dangerous. the war department has
offered to several cities sub-target
gun machines for installation in
their high schools. This is an ap-
paratus which teaches rifle shooting
without the use OF powder and ball
and is a mechanical contrivance
which assimilates actual rifle firing
and which has been used with great
success on our war ships and In
army barracks.
