Everything in the way of aeronautical
experiments by the War Department
j awaits the arrival of the aeronauts in
Washington for the tests that will begin
j at Fort Myer not later than July 27. It
had been thought that the first of the
aeronauts, (.'apt. Baldwin, with his dirigible
balloon, would be on the ground this
week, but he has not appeared and the
officers at the War Department say that
they have heard nothing from him. The
big ba loon house of the Signal Corps at
Fort Myer Is swept and garnished more
or less #nd is ready for the assembling
of Capt. Baldwin's dirigible as soon as
lie arrives.
Water has been run to the big cavalry
drill ground, where gas will be made for
the balloon and a big tent, something like
a circus tent, but with the poles on the
outside, will be used to house the balloon
after she is taken to the drill ground, to
save the trouble of taking the craft over
the bad road to the balloon house.

EIGHT COMPLAINTS FILED
%
Unclean Conditions Under Which
Food Is Prepared Beported.
There Is little doubt in the minds of otncers
who have followed the subject that
Baldwin will be able to do all that is required
with his steerafde balloon. The
limitations of a dirigible are rather narrow.
but they have been tried out enough
to be qnlte certain what they can do.
From Fort Myer to Alexandria.
The course that has been laid out for
the air craft is from Fort Myer to Alexandria
and return, or to Falls Church
and return, according to the direction of
the wind. There is rough country over
the course, but this will not matter so
long as the airships keep in the air, where
they belong.
If they come down and get into difficulties
on the ground, that is their own
fault, and in that case the War Department
will not want them anyhow. There
will be no trouble, of course, in the balloon
keeping over the hills and tree
tops, but If the aeroplanes can negotiate
the ero6S-country run, they will have
established a new record In aeronautics.
All of the flights of Henry Farman and
Delagrange have been made over clear,
level ground, usually at a height of not '
more than fifteen or twenty feet from the
earth. But Gen. Allen of the Signal
Corps explained that an aeroplane 'hat
could be stopped by trees grid buildings
was no good to tl?? Wpfcrttnent, and '
the course has been laid out with a view
to testing the utility of the machines to
the utmost.
The. Wright brothers, who are looked
upon as the most sk.llful of the heavier- .
than-air fliers, say that they will be able to
do all and more than is asked of them.
But few people have actually seen the
Wright machine fly, and the most exten- i
sive of its flights that have been reported
have been over the 1-vei sand beaches of
the South Carolina coast.
President Roosevelt is much interested
in the development of aeronautics in the
War Department. It is stated that when
Congress reassembles he will try to get a
much larger appropriation for the work |
than has hitherto be^n granted. It is

Three lunchrooms indicted by the
health office are located In the heart of
the city and are regulariy patronized by
business men, clerks anil others. Five
lunchrooms complained of are in Georgetown.
Immediately after the receipt this mornlug
of the formal requests for warrants
from the health office the necessary
papers were made out on the regular
Mid turned over to the
warfinrWent of the Police Court ready
for the attestation of the two inspectors
who have been making the Investigation,
Dr. John I*. Norris and Elmer E. Stone.
Arrests May Be Made Tomorrow.
The inspectors are expected to formally
swear to the papers this afternoon or tomorrow
morning. The warrants will not

police headquarters, where they will. In
turn, be forwaroed to the respective precincts
in wnlch the several accused persons
have their places of business. The
arrests will te made either by precinct
detectives or uniformed men.
According to statements made today by
Health Officer Woodward and his two assistants,
Inspectors Stov and Norris, the
crusade to secure cleanliness and observance
of the rule which requires all eating
housed in the District of Columbia to be
registered In the health department is
bearing excellent fruit.
T..e two inspectors said this morning
that every place they visited yesterday
was evidently in the midst cf a genera,
overhauling, the proprietors and managers
having taken warning from the fate of
tnose wnose places or business were first
to be examined.
Brooms, mops, and paint and whitewash
brushes, the inspectors said, are
being wielded in almost frantic haste by
corps of cleaners in the kitchens of most
of the establishments included in their
tour of the business section of the city
yesterday morning and afternoou. In
others there are marked evidences of the
recently completed labors of tHe anti-dirty
brigade.
Thirty-one lunchrooms were inspected
yesterday, and the examiners marked the
word ' excellent" after tiie names of several
of the proprietors.
Eight Places Declared Unclean.
All informations upon which the present
* iiargea have been brought, excepting in
one case, were filed by Inspectors Norris
and Stov. The charges against the Maryland
quick lunchroom, located on Pennsylvania
avenue, were tiled by Inspector
Gallagher.
This latter complaint is against William
H. Plummer. as proprietor of the establishment
at 100N Pennsylvania avenue
known as thi Maryland Quick Lunchroom.
The information in this car*.1 tiled
by Inspector Gallagher wis more extensive
than in any of the others.
It alleges that the kitchen was lound in
a filthy condtt'on on the day of inspection,
.July 15. The walls are said to have been
covered with tilth and grease and the
cooking utensils were unclean and caked
with hard grease.
Th'' place is alleged to be improperly
screened so far as relates to the protection
of food. Cuiting tabled, knives and
other kitchen apparatus were in an unclean
and filthy condition, it is declared.
Tiie lunchroom conducted by Mrs. Krtima
Uurrcll. at l>*r? K street, was inspected
by Norris and Stoy July 14. The defendant
is accused of not properly pro

the Inspection took place no screens
worthy of the name were found In the
establishment.
William A. Joyce, who conducts a lunchroom
at 407 13% street, and whose establishment
was inspected July 13. is accused
of k eping unclean cooking ut nulls
In the kitchen, and not properly screening
his place o" business. The information
alleges thai a filthy condition was found
to exist.

Board to Pass Upon Tests.
The board that will probably be appointed
to pass upon the tests?to time
the flights, determine the speed and see
that all the conditions are lived up to?
will consist of Lieut. Frank P. Lahm,
who won the James Gordon Bennett International
aeronautical cup at Paris.
France, in lfiOd; Lieut. Thomas E. Selfrldge,
who is a member of the Aerial
Experiment Association at Hammondsport,
N. Y.; Capt. Cnarles Wallace of
the Signal Corps; Lieut. Benjamin D.
FYmlnis. who reeentlv erraduated from th?
signal school at Fort Leavenworth, and
either Maj. George A. Squier or Maj.
Edgar Russell of the Signal Corps. The
board will report to Gen. Allen, who will
pass finally on the results of the flights.
Lieuts. Selfrldge, Lahni and Foulols will
probably be selected to become familiar
with the operation of the successful air;
ships.
i Army and navy officers here are greatly
i interested In the coming of Henri Kar;
man with his aeroplane lo this country,
i If the dates fixed for the Frenchman
1 do not conflict with the tests to be held
at . Fort Mver several army and navy
officers may be present to witness Farman's
flight. Brig. Gen. Allen will probably

charge of the aeronautical work at Fort
Myer, to attend the flights to be made
by Farman.

HOT SPRINGS. Va.. July 17.?Willian
H. Taft. the republican nominee foi
President, has finished the first draft 01
his speech of acceptance. It contains 10,
000 words, and he is engaged today ii
cutting it down. When completed h<
does not want it to contain more thai
4,000. It is the plan of the notlflcatloi
committee to make the exercises at Cin
cinnati brief and Judge Taft's speed
will be in keeping with the rest of th<
program. It is understood that the speed
contains no new suggestion in regard t<
trust regulations. The whole tone o
the speech, it is said, is that the trus
and railroad problem can be adequately
handled under the standards set by th<
present administration.
Senator Jonathan Bourne, jr., of Ore
gon, the original second-elective-torn
man, will be here late this afternooi
with his suggestion that Judge Taft in
elude in his speech a pledge that he wil
not attempt to dictate the selection of hi:
successor in the White House, that is
if he is elected.
Residuary legateeshlp" is Senato
Bourne's hobby now. but lie will be dis
appointed in his attempt to gef anytliiiq
into Judge Taft's' speech that would re
fleet on the Roosevelt methods.
Judge Taft's appearance in the ball
room here last night as a waltzer lias woi
him a lot of new admirers. It is doubt
ful if he adds dancing to his dally pro
gram for exercise, but he could do it al
right and enjoy it. too. He is a goot
dancer.
Judge Tal't has arranged a golf matel
for this afternon with Melville E. In
galls of Cincinnati, former president o
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.
Mr. Ingalls has a record as a gol
olayer and has scored very low on th<
links here. His prominence in the finan
cial world suggested his visit might hav<
special political significance, but it ha:
been his practice to occupy his cottag<
near the Homestead at this time of tin
year.
Democrats Promise Support.
Democrats of many southern states art
writing to Judge Taft declaring their purpose
to vote for him and to do whatevei
may be in their power to secure his election.
Letters of this kind form one ol
the most interesting features of Judgt
Taft's daily increasing mail. From dem
ocrats in Maryland. Kentucky. Tennessee
North Carolina and Georgia he lias letters
assuring him that. In the belief ol
tho writers, those states will give tlieii
electoral votes to the republican tick?)
in the coming election Although Judg<
Taft reads the letters with interest, Ik
receives Information that there is hop<
of carrying Georgia, with a feeiing that

From Maryland, especially, Judge Yaf

democrats that they expect to see th<
3tate go republican and that there wll
be many democrtitic votes to help carrj
It. Many of th se democratic corre
ipondents have declared that the nomi
nation of Mr. Bryan is doubly repugnan
to them, because they believed his defea

a candidate of the democratic party, am

\\ TOKIO, July 17.?'Marquis Katsura, the *
of new premier and minister of finance of
le Japan, today granted an exclusive lnter^
view to the Associated Press outlining the (
policies to be carried out during the gov3
ernment's administration. The entire ten- j
, or of the Interview showed a determinao
1
er tion to improve the poiitical and comnier1C
cial relations between Japan and all foreign
countries; to remodel the finances of !
the country and build ill) the industries nf
S Japan. 1
Marquis Katsura said:
"The recent change in the cabinet was J
caused simply on account of the contin- 1
D ued ill health of former Premier Saionji, s
although there may have been other unessential
reasons, necessitating a change r
of policy toward foreign countries. I 1
?g need hardly say that my policy will be '
peaceful, the prime object of it being to .
maintain peace throughout the world. '
With this end in view, I shall do my best r
to cultivate and increase the present good r
relations existing between Japan and the g
powers. ^
Japan for Peace. r
lg "Japan must not be misunderstood in her ^
ie sincere desire to maintain peace. Any- t
lt. thing calculated in even the slightest de.- v
gree to disturb the peace of the world j
shall he most scrupulously avoided by t
r me. The national finances also will com- t
ts mand my utmost attention. The disturbance
of Japanese finances on account of
the recent war between Japan and Russia
must be allayed within the shortest pos- *
16 sible time. Redemption bonds, more es[>
pecially those that are unproductive, will
tt receive my first attention. I hope to J>e
s- able to readjust Japan's finances and thus
r- dispel the abnormal condition now exist- ?

of Development of Japan. d
z- "The upbuilding of Japan's economical
and commercial development will be one ^
ul of my most serious endeavors, but in carrd
rying out this policy I shall be most care- ^
>s ful to avoid anything calculated to disn
turb the peaceful relations of the powers. t
These are the principal objects to be pursued.
The adjustment of the national /
finances and the development of the nat- u
!n ural resources arc two inseparable tneas*h
ures and therefore shall command my ut- *
>n most attention and the utmost attention f
cs i of my government."
= ,! The entire tenor of Marquis Katsura's *

by Court.
Henry P. Gilbert, a business man of
feorgetown and a director and former
ice president of the First Co-operative
tuilding Association, was indicted today
y the grand jury on a charge of ombezlement.
The charge grew out -of the ul?gcd
failure of Mr. Gilbert to settle with
tie heirs of the late George Hill, jr., of
:hose will Mr. Gilbert was surviving excutor.
The amount 'nvolved Is $(>.987.19.
The indictment charges that March 23
sst the money came into the hands of
Ir. Gilbert as the result of the sale of
ertain property belonging to the estate,
ni it is alleged that while acting as e
ue'.t executor he ."unlawfully and fraud- tr
ilently converted and appropriated the oi
und to his own use and err.oezzied it." ^
The rponey aliened to have been ap- w
ropriated is said to have belonged to

Proceedings in Equity. n<

Under proceedings in equity nied by the
eirs of the estate in 1901 the court was ^
sked to remove Mr. Gilbert as executor
Si
,nd to appoint a trustee in liia place or
o require Mr. Gilbert to give bond.
The heirs were unsuccessful in obtainng
the removal or in securing an order
cquiring him to give bond. The case ai
iragged along until ly07, when the court tt
iroeieu a sale of the property belonging e,
o the estate. Mr. Giloert advertised tne
iroperty in April, TJ07, and soid about
Co.tMl worth. After deducting all ex- .
lenses there remained more than JH.0IW, ?
vhich, on order of the court. Mr. Giioert

A'inters and George C. Hill. Gilbert J'
ailed to make payment and a rule was ::

LONDON, July 1".?The American uth
tea are thoroughly disgust en with the
eatment accorded them by the officials
" the Olympic games. The secrecy with
which the drawings for the track events
ere made and the distance of this sysun
whereby the best American runners
ere put in the same heats, was had
lough, they say, but now the unfair?ss
in- the tug of war today between
i American and a United Kingdom team.
, whicii the officials allowed the United
lngdom team to compete with prepared
toes, contrary to rules, has dlsheartted
the American contestants. James
. Sullivan, American commissioner to the
imcs, has entered a vigorous protest,
ad it Is hoped that in the interest of
le success of future Olympiads the high*
officials will do something to stop the
afalrness with which the Americans alge
the officials of the Amateur Athletic
ssociation, who are conducting the
ames, are treating their visitors. Tha
mateur Athletic Association has reused,
also, to allow the pole vaulters
> dig a hole for their poles, although
le Americans claim this has been tha
racuce at all previous revivals of the
lympie games.
The great event of the early afternoon
ras the final in the ten-mile walk. In
lis event Q. E. Lamer, United Kingoin,
broke the record by doing ten mile*
i 1 hour 15 minutes 57 1-5 seconds. This
ecord is nearly two minutes Inside the
revlous amateur record for this disance.
E. J. Webb, United Kingdom, who
7as second, cut off seven seconds from
his ssuwe- w^eord. The rest of the field was
utclassed. Spencer, United Kingdom, flushed
a bad third.
England thus adds another win to her
core for all the Olympic games, and
Ine points to her score in the contest
1th America for supremacy in field
ports.
No Championship Trophy.
The British Olympic Association has
included not to decide the championship
! the nations competing In the Olympic
imes held in London this year, and the
line decision applies to the sports nowr
ilng on at the Stadium at Shepherds
ush. The original idea was to offer a
ophy for the country securing the greatit
number of points in all games, those
ild in the Stadium and those played at
irious clubs, such as tne tennis at
ueens Club, which was won by Jay
ould. and the rifle matches at Bislev, but
le difficulty of arriving at an equitable
lethod of allotting the polms was so
reat that the Idea has been dropped. The
immlttec worked out several schemes,
lit each was open to so many objections
i account of unfairness to ono nation or
nother, and the attempt to reach a fair
isis having been found quite impossible,
le British Olympic Association had to
?clde reluctantly not to offer trepines Of
ty kind excepting the gold. s? ver and
onze medals iti each competition.
uapt. v\. jones, assistant secro.ary 01
le association, gave out this informa ion,
hicli has not yet been announced here,
e concluded his statement as follows:
"The newspapers of the different eounies
have to decide the matter to their
vn Satisfaction. America probably more
tan any other nation would have cause
>r complaint if we attempted to award a
lampionship. The distance to tiic t'n.ted
:ates is great and we did not expect the
mericans would have as many entries
5 the United Kingdom. In some events,
ich as pigeon shooting and lawn tennis,
merica is not represented. Therefore, if
tints were awarded for every event the
nited Kingdom would have a walkover."
rhe Amer.cans competing in the stadium
?mes are simply going in for the chumonships
in the field events, and they are
Hinting their points by tlie American
etho<i five for firsts, three for seconds
id one for thirds.
The Morning Events.
There were only three events on this
orning's program, the Individual saber
wipetition and two archery contests,
he first of the archery contests was the
ork round for gentlemen and the second
ie national round for ladies. The had
eather again .^polled the sport, the plays
being repeatedly driven off the grounds
r the heavy ruins.
The attendance today was even smaller
an yesterday. There probably will be a
duction in the price of admission next
eek to induce the I?ond<fiei-s to till the
ands.
in the first round of the individual saber
mpetition the best performance was
