SMITHWICK HAS
UNCLE PAY UP
(ey GEORGE H. JMANNING3

Washington, D. c., Dec. Gloon
gresham j. H. Smithwick succeeded
in securing unanimous consent of the
house last Friday to pass two claims
bills for his district that have been
pending in congress for many years.
One was to pay to the Southern
Lumber Company s603.79, which was
| unjustly collected by the government
in 1911 for timber cut and removed
by George A. Lynch, of Muscogee,
Florida. The Southern Lumber Com
pany paid Lynch for the lumber cut
from his entry. The court ruled later
| that Lynch had no proper claim to
| the land and the. lumber company was
fined $603.79 by the court. Later again
it was discovered that Lynch did have
a right to the land and that the trans
action with the Southern Lumber
Company had been legal The bill
pays back to the Southern Lumber
Company the amount paid by it to
| the court.
The other bill which Mr. Smithwicix
had passed was to relieve the estate
of Thomas II. Hall, of Panacea
/ Springs, Florida, from payment OF
! s544.13 to the government to reim-
burse for money alleged to have been
StoiSL 1iohl Tie 1dIlacea poSCUtlce
about eleven years ago. Thomas H.
Hall was postmaster, at Panacea. Be-
coming ill, he resigned and went to a
| hospital in Baltimore under the i'm
preston his successor would be ap-
pointed and would qualify in few
days.
He left the office in charge of an
assistant whom. the postoffice deuart-
ment alleged, embezzled about $1,000.
The assistant was arrested and con-
victed of the theft. Arrangement was
made for him to repay the money
stolen. He paid up the amount stolen
| except S544.73, when he died By that
time Postmaster Hall had died The
government is now suing the Hall
| estate to recover the loss
/! Both these bills have passed the
| senate. where they were introduced by
Senator Fletcher. They have been
pending in the house several years.
MIR. Smithwick secured favorable
! action on them by the committees
then called them up in the house and
secured unanimous consent for their
passage without delay.

per hour. Its angle of glide, that is,
the forward travel of the machine as
compared to drop to earth is lis. In
other words, when the motor is cut
out, the biplane glides about II IL
feet for each foot of altitude.
The spars are built of ash; the
struts between planes are of stream
line section of constant depth for two
thirds of their length; ends taper TO
the strut fittings. Lateral and longi-
tudinal balance is operated by stick
control; the rudder is balanced-op-
Grated by the feet. Lateral control is
obtained by ailerous, their effect being
so instantaneous as to require but
slight movement of the stick.
