poor weather conditions.
Since tho Bannock burn Golf Club moved
from its home at Chevy Chase circle TO
its magnificent new grounds at Caoln
John Bridge. many Of the members have
taken an interest in the history of the
locality and I'm the talks at the nine
teenth hole have offered many remark
able versions of the legends associated
with the Cabin John Bridge. Becoming
interested in the argument. the writer
look UP sonnet hing of the history of
Cabin John which will set at rest all
conjecture and discussion on the sub
ject.
Cabin John Bridge was built ny the
United States government at a cost OF
tc37 600 to convey the water supply to
the city of Washington. Work was start
cd in 1885, and the bridge and water sys-
tenn was completed in 1861. The bridge
is of national renown and until recently
enjoyed the distinction of being the
largest sinsle-arch span in the world.
The bridge is named after john of the
Cabin" who. according to the legend
made his appearance and pitched his
cabin in the rugged region where the
bridge now stands. To all who knew
him he WAS simply known as John. and
in course OF time he came to be known
as John of the Cabin.
For a number of years he inhabited
his humble quarters alone. his only com
pany being several fierce and fieet-footed
hunting dogs. while his chief occupation
was hunting and fishing
The strangest part OF this melancholy
story of John is the fact that he sudden
" disappeared as mysteriously as he
made his first appearance. and nothing
was even known of his fate. His dogs
deserted their rocky kennel, his cabin
crumbled to dust. and the only thing
laft to recall his memory was the creek
which bore his name.
Little did poor John of the Cabin"
ever dream that wonderful specimen
Of workmanship would some day bear
his humble name, and that thousands
who would seek the comforts OF the
cheerful inn near by would be curious
TO learn something of his history.
In the year ISIS the following lines
were found under a dilapidated grain
bin in an old mill located on the banks

ADVISORY BOARD
BARS PACIFISTS
Societies Asked Not to Nominate
Peace Men-FOrd Not Seri-
OuSly Considered.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Aug. 26.-"No pacifists
need apply" is the sign hung out BY
the Navy Department over the entrance
to the new Advisory Board, headed by
Thomas A. Edison. While the selec
ton of the boards personnel has been
delegated by Secretary Daniels to ten
prominent technical societies. each OF
which is to choose two members, the
department has limited unofficially that
they are not expected to nominate any
opponents of peace at any price
The object of the board, department
officials point out, is TO build up a fight
ing machine. For this reason Secretary
Daniels does not want it encountered
BY theorists who might seek to use the
Office to advance their notions about
the needlessness Of preparation.
Ii was learned to-day that Henry
Ford, who was prominently suggested
as a candidate for the Advisory Board,
has never been seriously considered at
the department. While due honor is
granted him as a business organizer.
he is not believed to be an inventive
genius of the type required.
Secretary Daniels expects that all the
nominations will be in and he person
mel announced next month.

on a blackboard resembling a baseball
scoreboard.
Shots Fall True
All the eighteen shots fired in prac-
tice yesterday morning and afternoon
fell in the eighth and ninth zones, a
distance that tests twelve-inch NOR
tars TO the limit. Under actual war
conditions explosive projectlles weigh
ing 900 pounds each would be fired at
the rate of one every thirty seconds.
When the first salvo OF two guns
was fired in the record shots at | p.
m, few persons had done more than
stuff their ears with cotton. Mortars
2 md 3, in pit 4, spoke in unison,
Hats were lifted from the heads Of
spectators, a fat man rolled down the
terrace under a shower of unignited
powder splinters. and a photographer
withdrew with the insides of his ex-
pensive camera wrecked A green gar
ter (man's style) was picked up on the
terrace.
Target practice with the mortars
last night was relieved Of its most
picturesque feature by the absence of
the tracer" on projectiles fired at
night. With the illuminated tracer"
attached, each shell SCARED through the
air like a comet, its course plain to
observers with glasses.
Trivial damage from. conclusion was
reported in Whitestone and neighbour
ing towns last night. A water tank on
the roof of the Fort Totten headquar-
ters building was shaken until it
leaked. Two stained glass windows in
the chapel were cracked.

ALLEGED SPY HAD
SOUGHT PASSPORT
Officials Investigate Application
Made by German
ReserVist.

Washington, Aug 26.-The record of
Gustav Kopsch, the alleged German
spy, charged with photographing the
Notifications at Fort Monroe and
other defences, is under investigation.
Efforts by him to obtain a passport
were the subject Of close scrutiny by
officials of the Bureau of Investigation
of the Department of Justice to-day.
Kopsch began trying to get passport
after he had been refused t-ansporta-
ton to Norway By 2 steamship Com
pany unless he could get one. Off
GERS of the Department Of Justice have
done a great deal of work on pass
port frauds, and they said to-day that
il looked as though the young man
might have stepped over the bounds in
trying to get sacn a paper from the
State Department, despite the fact
that he was not an American citizen,
having only taken out his first papers.
"Merely an enthusiastic young Ger
man eager to win an Iron Cross" was
the comment of Chief A. Bruce Biel-
ask, of the Bureau of Investigation,
after his thorough search through the
papers of Kopsch.
The closest investigation will be
made, however, of several incidents
which may result in connecting
Kopsch in an official way with the
German secret service. The fact that
he was arrested on this charge, in
volving the defences of the lower Ches-
apeake Bay, SO shortly after an al
legged Austrian spy, Ortolph, was ar
rested on a similar charge with re-
spect to coast defences in Florida, is
regarded by the officials of the bureau
as significant.
The young German reservist is al
legged to have stated that he took so
many photographs because he was do
ing some research work for the Car
negie Institute This idea is ridi-
culed by the Department of Justice Of
ficials, who say that he was employed
mere in the capacity of an instrument
maker by the institute, and was auth
orized by them to take no photographs
whatever.

WOULD MAKE LIQUOR
LUXURY M FRANCE

Paris. Aug. 26-The Minister of
Finance, Alexandra Ribot, intro
duced in the Chamber of Deputies
to-day a bill providing for a COM
prehensiye reform in the liquor
trade. The measure contemplates
suppression of privileges enjoyed
by private individuals who are now
permitted to distill brandy from
their own fruits, and an increase
in the tax on alcohol from twelve
francs (S2.40) to twenty-five francs
Ions on appe;izers and liqueurs.
a gallon. To this is added tax
on consumption of five francs a gal
Memoranda attached to the bill
contain an estimate that if con-
sumption of the articles affected
should decrease by one-half, the
government would receive increased
revenue to the amount of 10,000,00
francs.
1t is also proposed that the state
create a monopoly in the manu-
facture of industrial alcohol and try
to find an additional outlet for the
product among consumers of fuel,
such as owners of automobiles.

THE TRIBUNE IS READ
TO SHREDS AT FRONT

London, Aug. 26.-An officer in a
Canadian regiment here, on a leave
after several months at the front.
dropped into the Office to-day TO
order that a Tribune be sent to
him at the front for three months.
In a voice that could be heard for
half a block, because he was so used
to giving commands during the roar
of guns, he said:
Il must have The Tribune regu-
larly and see its sporting page. A
lot of boys in my regiment read it
at home. Briggs is a dandy. The
fellow who writes the war leaders
knows the game like a veteran.
Asked how many men read one
copy. the officer said IL was passed
