Postmaster General M yer. who has Just returned from the w st. where he ad dressed gatherings of representaf ve bus - nrss m-n at Chicago and MUwauke ,1s cr atly encouraged over the outlook fo^ establish ng a postal savings bank and a I . ap ?' \ o- v'CiS post. After voting at Hamilton. Mass.. . Tuesday, Mr. Meyer left there for Chi cago Wednesday, arriving the next day I ;s, in tim to hurry, lunch1 ss to ta 1 Hamilton Club. wh?re he spok - befo.e a ; gathering of about 1<X> business men. In I the afternoon he inspected the pus > ' with Postmaster Campbell, and repoi . that he found everything in ad.n rabl j condition, an enormous amount of husl , ness be.ng done most syst1' ..j ? In the evening, said Mr. M.J . ! ?, t nd d a dinr. r g:v ti ;,y th inJ *tmi Club in the new banquet ha 1 of th Audi i to um Annex, and I may say that I i found it the most beautiful room of the I sort which I hav ? ever sen in Am rica. ; The guests ncluded banker*. I railway men and p rsons closely id-nt.fled I with the great industries. After my ad on t 1 D ir ?a l>ost and po-ta. s.. ! ings bank, many of the diners took occa | sion to come and toil m' that tht*y h^-J. hi-herto b en opposed to one or jotn or | the schemes, but that now. after the mat i ters had been explained to them, tliey ; agreed that th y would benefit the ~oun trv. The bankers. especial y, favored th. ; pc'sta savings bank, r jllz "5 that by money which otherwise would be hoaided would be brought into circu.at on by the simplest means, the post oilice acting as an interm diary between the people and 1 the circulation of currency. "\ diff rent recept-on awaited me the next day when I lunched with the Asso ciation of Commerce. At the luncheon an official of a large mail-order house presided, and many of the guests w re associated w th the same business. ' Thes; m. n said frankly that they were opposed ! .0 th ru a: pa.c Is post, as it would o injurious to their bUBin< ss. This was not I .. . pe t (1 l;y me.

It sterns to me that the country ' merchant has a right to live, and that what wi 1 benefit him is advantageous to j the country at large, even b yond the 1 question of convenience to his customers. "At Milwaukee I was guest at a d nner wh re about 1<X) business men were gath i ered, and I had an exp rience similar to that at the Auditorium dinner in Cnicago. j many of the guests telling me that they ' had been won over to belief in the ad j van,.ag s ot i.n parcels post and tile pos .ai savings ban*. "I found the Milwaukee post office a ! miniatuie of that in this city, w th suf I ficunt capacity to accommodate the prob ? able growth of the next ten years. Both in Chicago and Milwaukee I found tha postmasters enthusiastic and alert, with a thorough grasp of th ir duties. "I am greatly encouraged over the out I lo i* iur 1 part is pos. ar.u postal sav ! ings bank, especially now that the busi ness men are becoming convinced that the propos -d measures are s mple and ! eminently fair." BOX KITE IN AIR. People Gazed in Wonder Upon a Mys terious Object. The appearance of a mysterious object ? iese:nbiing a liy.ng machine in rn da r this ! afternoon over the lousiness section of the ; city caused many Washlr.gtonians to gaze , skyward or several hours. Some of the gazers concluded It was some sort of nt w tangled a rsldp bei: g put through its > paces in cloudland by a inv'entor. Others i oelieved it was a ort of box k te be.ng used experim ntally by the weather bu eau ar.d stil others declared it was so ne sort of war mach-n'\ which lad Veen adopted by the Signal Corps of the army. A.l ti e gueos s ; roved to be wrong, es investigation developed that the aerial visitor was a novel aeroplane, the inven 1 tion of an Austrian scientist, which was ! sent up by M ssrs Pettit & Co. ir >m their stabllshment at 7th and I stre ts.

The latest turn In the controversy be tween the board of education and the Dis trict bui d'.ng Inspector on the question of sanitation in the public schools is regard d as of twofold interest. It was loam ;d today that Supervising Principals S. M. Ely and C. S. Clark have reported the < ompletlon last week of c rta'n work In two of the schools Involved, and it wis also learned that Building Inspector Ash ford h is invited a number of citizens of tlie District to pro or, a tour of inspection of the schools this afternoon to ascertain tiiel ? cond-tion. A letter to Capt. J,.m~s F. Oyster, pres ident of ihe board of education, from Mr. ?iy, dated today, says: "In r< spon.ve to 11: tjucry on your ca-d of Novera! er 8. let me reply that th? p umbing at the Emery has been r?pa'red so that the tanks flush - roperiy. Sr-veral leaks have also been rt. aired. These re pairs were completed last week." Repairs to Plumbing. Mr. Clark says in a letter to Assistant Superintendent Hughes that the defective plumbing in the Berrett school was re paired Tuesday, and a part of the rubbish was removed from the yard. Cap:. Oyster re^arcs these two reports as an indication that the building inspec tor could iiav ? compiet d tiii work long ago. He points out that it was done quickly enough after the matter was brtught to a head. Mr Ashf.rd was not In his office when a Star reporter called today, and it was learned that he had been out since 11 o'clock this morning. No information with regard to Mr. Ashford's tour of the school system was forthcoming, but the fact that invitations were xi nd j for such a trip was definitely established in another quarter.

Blackfriars bridge, now being Incased with the preliminary staglrg for its wid ening. is not the original bridge erected there in 17<19. That was christened Pitt bridge, and a halfpenny toll was charged for pedestrians on week days and a p:;nny on Sundays. It was the third bridge across the Thames, and It would probably be standing now hut for the undermining of Its foundations by the rebuilding of London bridge in 1S31. Old London bridge, with its twenty narrow arches, acted almost a dam across the Thames, and Rennle's new bridge, with only five arches, so increased the Rcour of tne t.des that Blacktriars bridge was rendered un safe, pulled down, rebuilt and o.iened In lWiii. " In tne same way Westminster biidge had to he demolished in 18-lii. after a vain endeavor to strengthen it against the a.tered river flow caus "d by the new l.ondon bridge. Though Westminster bridge was the "point d'appui" of Words worth's matchiesa son: et, Blackfriars is the more practically Interesting, for it was the riots against Its halfpenny and penny tolls In 17S0 that led the govern ment to pur hase the river bridges and throw them open to the pubi c, toll free.

Is o:.e of th^ ploi.eera of th- third-term propos t on. having ad ivocaied th renomination of the Presi dent In an Interview In The Star many [months ago. The President has Intsr posed no Impediments to the Sanie s pro gram. and. on the other hand. h l,ed it j j:loi'g Saturday by putting In a man rec omm nried by the triumvirate and work ng with it President to Stand Pat. Statements that the President will shortly repeat his declaration of three years ago that under no circumstances will he agiin be a candidate for or ac cept another nomination for the presi dency are not in acco-d with the tacts as they come out of the White Houa-v The posit ve statement can be made on unimpeachable authority that the Preal dent will not ->galn repeat his utterance on the memorable election night of 1WM, when he called the newspaper traternlty of Washington to his office and dictated the statement that has now become his toric. The President Is absolutely flxed In his determination that he will stand upon tint declaration and not renew It. He sees no occasion to do so. As he looks upon it, a renewal of his assertion would furnish the greatest comfort to his politi cal enemies, while as matters now atand, his opponents in his own party are con founded and up In the air. The President's closest friends?those who want to see him nominated for a third term?ar# the ones who nave se cured from him a promise that he will remain silent on the aubjeot and let events take their course without Inter ruption. These friends are afraid that the President wjll again make some pledge os statement that will inhibit the republican convention from naming him As to the statement of three years ago, they do not believe the peo ple will take J.his seriously, und are of the opinion that they can place the President In such a position that he will have no difficulty In explaining the necessity of again seeking the suffrage of the country. The third-term boom Is growing, and has become so bold as to challenge the Hughes sentiment in New York. The prediction is now ventured that as soon as Secretary Taft comes back from the far east and graspH sentiment through out the country he will announce his retirement from the race and advise the renomlnatlon of the President. The only thing that will prevent his doing this will be the President himself. Roosevelt and Taft. If lie Is confirmed In his intention to stand by his statement .of three years ago he will Inform Secretary Taft that the latter must not get out of the race, and he can depend upon the support of the Wh te House to the end. Any announce ment from Secretary Taft that he Is out of the race means lhat Roosevelt la In It. If Taft stays in the race there could be only two conclusions: One that the Presi dent is not to be a candidate, even if nominated by the convention. The other is that Mr Taft might remain In the race so as to th.ow Ohio's support to Roose velt. rather than take chances on It go.ng to Foraker. Suits for Damages Filed. Bettl" B.
