But Hnrrlman talked crops when the reporters wanted him to tell them what changes he proposed to make In the ulled States Government and what particular railroad system he was minded to gobble up next.

The airship Gettysburg. May 31 The memory of the regularly enlisted men In the I'nited States Army who gave up their lives or fought In the Gettysburg campaign of 1SC3 w.is perpetuated in granite on the famous battlefield, to-day, when the monument, erected by act of Congress was unveiled in the presence of the Pi dent of the I'nited States. The great shaft, one of the most conspicuous on the Geld, stands close to the "Bloody Angle," where the hottest action in that bloody struggle occurred. The old town of d'eitysbiirg Is gaily decorated for the event, and the streets are crowded with people. President Arrived There at 10 A.M.

President Taft arrived here shortly after 10 o'clock, after an all-night rifle from Pittsburg. A great crowd surrounded the station. Arrangements for the President's reception were perfect, the I'nited States Regulars who arrived here yesterday assisting the local authorities in keeping bark the crowd. Tim Presidential party was met by Colonel John P. Nicholson, Major Charles A.

Richardson and General L. L. Lomax, the members of the Gettysburg National Park Commission. After a slight delay, President Taft, his party, and the local reception committee entered automobiles for a trip over the battlefield. Following the visit to ail historic points, the President returned to his car for luncheon, and at 2 P.M.

he took his place a' the head of the military parade, which formed In the town and proceeded to the "Bloody Angle" on Cemetery Ridge. The ceremonies at the monument were opened by the playing of "America" by the Thirteenth Coast Artillery Band, followed by prayer by Chaplain H. H. Chouinard, Fifth I'nited States Infantry.

Senator Root made an impassioned appeal againat any increase Id the duty on lemons over the Dingley law rate of 1 cent, Reading from reports made, by a representative, of the Department of Agriculture, as the basis of his assertion, Mr. Root declared: "In this Industry during the last year the lemon growera of California have made ou an average a profit of $530 per acre, with expenditures amounting to $370. That was under the present tariff. I would not eliminate the POLICEMAN NABS DESERTER. President John B.

Mr.

recent illness from angina pectoris, which resulted from an attack of the grip, Mr. Tebbetts' place has been taken by Fen-wick Y. Hedley, who has acted as chairman of the Memorial Day committee and is presiding at the exercises this afternoon. The late Mr. Tebbetts was 6 feet 3 inches tall, and he towered above his comrades in Graut Post, always conspicuous because of his height and distinguished appearance.

He had a forceful personality and was very highly thought of by hiB friends and comrades In every walk of life. His death, coming ou Memorial Day, will add an even deeper significance to the services fhiei; his fellows have made an annual custom at the tonao of General Grant. The veterans are greatly grieved at his passing. Noah Tebbetts was well known In Brooklyn as a lawyer of high attainments and ability. His practice was confined of late years almost entirely to tho legal direction of large estates which had been entrusted to htm because of his reputation for devotion and conscientiousness.

He came from good old New England stock, and was born in Rochester, N. in 1S41. He was therefore in his 66th year at the time of his death, and looked much younger up to the time of his last illness. In September, 1862. he enlisted in the Fifteenth New Hampshire Volunteers and served in the Department of the Gulf under General Hanks.

He participated in the fighting around New Orleans and took part iu tho siege and battles of Port Hudson. In 1 SCI! he was mustered out of the service, but re-enlisted In the Fifth New Hampshlpo Volunteers and fought Willi his regiment through the bloody scenes preceding and accompanying the fall of Petersburg. Ho was present at the surrender of Appomattox. When the war ended Mr. Tebbetts took up the study of law.

In 1S67 ho was admitted to tho New Hampshire bar and soon became an active participant in the political affairs of New Hampshire. He was always a Republican. For three years he was a member of the Republican State Committee, and in 1S70 the governor appointed him a oank commissioner. During his residence in his native state he was elected master of Humane Lodge No. 21, F.

and A. and commander of Post No. 22, G. A. R.

In 1872 he moved to Brooklyn and opened law-offices here. As soon as Grant Post was organized in this city Mr. Tebbetts joined it, and in 1SS8 he was unanimously elected its commander. He frequently represented the post at department and national encampments. Tebbetts took a prominent part New lork Industry.

"We only ask." he said, "the difference In wages between this country and abroad." After speeches by Senator Smith (Michigan) supporting, and Senator Btirkett, opposing the finance committee's increase of the rate on lemons to ilt cents per pound, the vote was taken. It resulted in sustaining the committee. 43 to 23. Senators Foster (La.) and Fletcher (Fla Democrats, voted In the affirmative with the Republicans, and Senators Root, Bev-erldge. Bristow.

"Business- is on a very substantial basis," ho said.

"All It needs is a realization on the part, of tho farmers of tho crops they have prepared for. The farmers have spent a great deal of money preparing for this year's crops.

Count Zeppelin, the inventor of the great Zeppelin dirigible war balloons, has written an article on "The Conquest of the Air," which Is printed In tho current Issue of Putnam's Magazine.

The Count, for the most part, confines himself to facts and figures tending to prove that his rigid balloons are the only kind of airships that are thoroughly practicable for long distance flights, but occasionally be gives a glimpse of what the future has in store for the coming; race of aerial navigators. The Count does not entirely disregard the field of usefulness of the small airship, which he says may be of great use within narrow-limits, but he takes up the questions of Jong cross-continental flights, and reaches some astonishing conclusions. After giving some preliminary figures which the Count considers necessary for the proper presentation of his subject, leading to the conclusions, he says that in his newest type of airship he has a vessel which can rise from Lake Constance with twelve persons on board and remain four days in the air, covering-in this period some 2,500 miles. If necessary, the Count says, the ship could carry twenty men, providing it did not have to travel very high in the air. The airship will carry a completely closed-in room for sleep and work.

The radius of movement of his alrBhip, which carries an engine In reserve, 1b only limited by the supply of benzine, which could eaaily be replenished at towns along the route. Traffic regulations concerning the height of paths through the air will have to be made as soon as airships become common, says the Count. During the worst time of the year for high and contrary winds, the Count says that he could travel from Berlin to St. Petersburg, to Moscow, to Constantinople, in approximately four days. With average conditions the journey could be made in forty hours and under favorable conditions in from twenty-two to thirty hours, much less than the best railroad time.

Unknown countries may be explored in safety and with dispatch by companies of men making long journeys, or comparatively short flights of 200 miles at a time. "By such means," says -the Count, calmly, "the airship will enable men to open up and annex remote portions of tho globe, and to consolidate colonies where there are no railroads." The Count says that airships will prove perfectly practical as commercial propositions. "I assume, for instance," savs lie. "the foundation of airship communication between Berlin and Copenhagen. The capital needed for one airship, a main station at Berlin and a landing station at Copenhagen, would be about SVjO.OOO.

The revenue, allowing for one hundred nights to Copenhagen and back to Berlin each year (the time of that trip one-half tho present system), with an average of twenty-Hve travelers each paying $12.50. would amount to 162,500 a ear." The expenses, according to Count Zeppelin, would be $37,500, leaving a profit of J25.000, or ten per cent, on the capital. The Zeppelin airships are, then, not too expensive for frequent use. Thn Count says that only a few very rich men could use them for pleasure, but the number of these men will be greater than those who can purchase ocean-going steam yachts. In war time no expense would be thought too great for the information which the flying scouts couid obtain.
