Five thousand Spectators Witness

Perilous PRedicament with
Only . Few Scratches.

High above the heads of 5000 spec
tators at Binghamton, N. Y, a man
crawled from the mouth of cannon
attached to a balloon, mere speck
against the sky. 1t was q task APP
parently beyond human accomplish
ment, and when he slipped on the
smooth sides of the gun there was o
murmur of horror from the myriad of
upturned faces. and several women
tainted, but with one hand he grasped
rope, and for moment swung sus-
pended 1000 feet above the earth. Then,
by tremendous effort, he regained the
tow of the cannon as the balloon and
its burden shot earthward. The man
was Prof. r. j. Burke, of Blossfield,
Mich. and he came to Binghamton to
make a series of ascensions at the
Binghamton exposition. He was to be
loaded into cannon attached to the
balloon. and when at the height Of
5000 feet was to be fired from the gun
at parachute hanging from the bal
looms side, with which he was to de-
scend Shortly after starting he dis
covered that rope had caught around
the trigger which fired the cannon. and
1t would not explode. His only hope
was to crawl from the inside to the
top OF the gun. Before this was &C
complished the balloon had gained a
swift downward impetus. and, though
he endeavored to tighten it, it struck
in tree in forest some miles away.
and he was held prisoner in the tree
top an hour and a half before re-
leased. He ESCAPED with few scratches,
but in those few moments he lived a
lifetime Of agony, and when he slipped
from the gun he gave himself up a.
lost.

This table obviously does not includc
states with only one representative.
Under this bill Colorado has one repre-
sentative for every 269 SOL; Florida, for ev-
cry 264.371: Washington, 251, 7S6; Maine.
for every 23l.4SS Maine has the highest
basis of Representation Of any state after
Colorado. Florida and Washington. Tn
der this bill the smallest basis of repre-
sentation is III $40 for Vermont. and the
highest basis st9,55l. Colorado, varla-
ton of 91,73l. I'll takes that many more
people to make Congressman in Colo
RADIO than in Vermont; 9245l more in
Florida than in Vermont: or S5,966 more
in Washington than in Vermont.
Under the minority bill the lowest basis
of representation is 11l,S20. in Vermont,
and the largest, 2l4,21S. in Rhode Island,
or a variation of Y ASS; and the next high
est is 200 16S in Oregon, or only about ST.
900 variation. and the variation in the
committees bill is more than double that
of the minority bill. The distinction be
tween the two bills on this point is that
the committees bill has discrepancy OF
$1,000 and the minority only 42,0oo Leav-
ing out the state with but two Congress
men. the variation in the committee bill
is: Lowest. 19l. 100; in West Virginia, and
the highest. 25l .4SS. in Maine, or differ
cnce of -. rs. Under the minority bill the
lowest is 1l5, $50. in Arkansas, and the
highest 202.1SS. in Alabama, or difference
of about 10000
How many more men does ii take un
der the committees bill TO send man
from Maine than it does in some of the
other states? Let me read a list. so tina
the committee can see what we are bear-
ing in Maine. If there is any incongruity
or disproporrion in the minority bill it
only relates to four states at least. Maine
is singled out as illuStra ton, but it
can only relate to Maine. Nebraska. Kan
sas and Virginia; so that only four repre-
sentatives would be involved if they have
more than they are entitled to. or there
are four representatives. out of proper

they should have in comparison with tn :
