GREA AIR

By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH

BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
Tens of millions Of American
dollars win be invested in CONF
mercial aeronautical project !
within the next few years,
Walter Drake, head of the joint
committee on civil aviation Of
the Department Of Commerce and
American Engineering Council,
declared today.
BY 1890, air routes, along
which viii roar hundreds of
freight and passenger planes, will
connect all important cities Of
United States: according to
Drake. He said that within q
comparatively short time there

mercial aviation company.
Capital Is Waiting
We are about to witness a large
development in civil aeronautics, :
he said.
There is an apparent willingness
on the part Of substantial men to
furnish the necessary capital IT
indicates that they believe the art
Is sufficiently advanced that the
pubic viii furnish the required
support.
Drake expressed the opinion that

viii develop more rapidly than
transportation of passengers. He
pointed out that general public
confidence has not yet developed in
travel in an uncharted, insecure
element: that excellent railroad
services connect most Of the ilnpor-
tai1t cities by overnight rides, so
that competitive air routes would
not have sufficient appeal as to
time saving.
Air mapping services. surveying
from aircraft. busting OF corton
plants and fruit trees, and employ.

ton are regarded as the more
profitable early developments. Re

The policy of the department mt

After legislation is adopted by

CATHCART CASE
WORRIES

The status OF Vera, the attrac-
tive Countess Of Cathcart. appeared
extremely uncertain today while
f1arassed officials OF the Depart
ment OF Labor continued to wrestle
with the problem Of whether to- ship
her back to England as an stun-
desirable, or admit her to the
United States.
Whereas yesterday the immigra-
ton authorities seemed inclined to
stick to their original resolve that
the Countess should not pass the
barriers at Ellis Island. today their
resolution seemed less adamant.
BOmbarded with protests against
her exclusion from feminist organ
izations, and threatened with
lengthy litigation to determine
their powers OF exclusion. the
authorities seemed unwilling today
to promulgate the final decision
which they intimated yesterday
was in the nature Of q routine per-
Torrance.
Having postponed his departure
to Florida, Secretary Of Labor Davis
was at his desk early this morning,
with the papers in the case before
him. He said a decision might be
forthcoming any time, or it might
be postponed until Saturday, when
the next Cunard liner is due to
leave for England with the Countess
as a possible passenger.
Attorney General Sargent has
been called upon to render advice
In the premises. but the nature of
this legal opinion was kept deep,
