workshop of the institution, these men
cut hole "a by 10 inches through more

Miss DiGsnr Found Difficulty in Be
coming Prisoner.


coming a Prisoner.
Freehold, n. j.. Nov. miss Laura
Biggar, for whom a warrant was is
sued fer attempted fraud in connection
with the will of the late Millionaire
Henry NJ. Bennett, experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in gaining admission
to the county Jail here when she APP
peared at the sheriffs Office to-day and
announced that she desired to surren-
der herself. The difficulty arose over
the fact that the warrant was in the
hands of a constable at Asbury Park,
and the sheriff declined to take the
esponsibility of locking the would-be
prisoner up until the document had
been formally served on her.
Miss Biggar finding the sheriff obdu-
rate, insisted on waiting in the witness
room of the Jail until the constable ar
rived with the warrant when the sher-
ifs scruples having been removed. he
consented to receive Miss Biggar as a
prisoner.
Counsel for Miss Biggar said that
since the accusation was laid against
her she had been living in New York.
She would not, he said. accept bail so
long as it was not forthcoming for
Hendricks and Stantox 1t is under
stood that no indictment has yet been
found against Miss Biggar.

ANOTHER BALLOON.
Siderable Airship Said to Have Been
Constructed in France.

Siderable Airship Said to Have Been
Constructed in France.
Paris, Nov. SIT has been known
for some time past that the brothers
LeBaudy and an engineer named Jul
lot have been constructing a Siderable
served that little or nothing has been
published about the new flying ma
chine. A newspaper reporter now
claims to have witnessed the first ex-
pertinent with the new balloon, which
he says occurred yesterday at Robert
LeBaudy's country house, near Bon
niers, where the airship was construct
ed. The balloon ascended to a height
of about 20 yards, with two persons
in the car. 1t was held down by ropes,
and the motor drove the airship against
a stiff breeze. After maneuvering for
half an hour, during which several
circuits of the park where the expert
ments were conducted were made, the
airship was replaced in it's shed. En-
gineer Julliot, who had charge of the
motor, said he was completely salts
fled with the test, but declined to be
interviewed.
The reporter describes the LeBaudy
balloon as similar in appearance to,
but twice the size of those of M. San
tos-Dumont. 1t is 6412 yards long and II
yards in diameter. The car is 5b yards
long and can hold three persons. The
propeller is driven by a motor of 40
horse power.
The owners of the new airship are
anxious to avoid publicity concerning
it until it has made trip to Paris and
return.

ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE
THAT Is WHAT NINE COMMISSION
ERS ARE AFTER.
THE DAY IN LEHIGH VALLEY.
VISITED ONE MINE AND SEVERAL
MINING VILLAGES.

recorder Wright Kept Busy on the
Train Attending to COmmissiOn's
Correspondence-Ar visit
the Homes of the Miners-John
HarI<Ie. the Independent Operator,
Escorts the E.missiOners over
His Property, Which He Says He
VIII Control.
Hazelton, Pa, Nov. 3.-The anthra-
cite strike commission spent the entire
day in the Lehigh Valley region, visit
ing one mine and several of the min
ing villages. While most of the COM
missioners We're looking over the ter
ritory, Recorder Wright was kept busy
on the train in attending to the cores
pondence of the commission. Among
the matters he disposed of was the
sending of a copy of President Mitch
ellis statement of the miners case,
which was filed with the commission
on Sunday night before its departure
from Scranton for this region, to all
the coal companies involved in the
present controversy.
Under the agreement made before
the commission at Washington the
operators will make a reply in three
or four days.
The trip of the commission through
this region was an interesting one, the
conditions of mining being somewhat
different from those existing in the
Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys.
At nearly every station a small crowd
was gathered to get glimpse of the
members of the commission.
The commissions first stop of the
day was at Upper Lehigh. where A.
c. Leisinring, superintendent of the
Upper Lehigh Coal Company, took the
commissioners for a drive through the
town. While in this place the arbi-
traitors visited one of the homes of
the miners, the first they have been
in since they have been touring the
region. Drifton was the next place
visited and there a crowd gathered
about the commission.
superintendent Smith of Coke Broth
ers Company, whose mines are located
there, explained the trouble between
the company and it's men.
At Jeddo, John Markle, the indie
pendent operator Joined the party and
escorted the commission to the mining
village of Oakdale, near Jeddo. Mr..
he maintains there for the benefit of
the men.
On the road into Hazleton, where
the breaker of No. 40 shaft was in
speeted, Messrs. Markle, Duffy and
Gallagher had a spirited discussion
over the differences existing at the
Markle mines. Mr.. MarkIe told them
he was running the Markle company
and would maintain discipline.
The entire afternoon was spent in
the Audenried mine near here. The
commissioners were lowered into the
workings $50 feet below through a
1,100 foot slope. One of the new "phy-
steal features" they saw wars a vein of
coal with a very steep pitch, which
was difficult to mine. While they
were inspecting this a blast was fired
in a nearby chamber and the lights
carried by those who remained in the
gangwayS below We're extinguished by
the rush of air. Some of the party
were timid for a moment wondering
what had happened but they were
quickly assured that there was no
danger by men familiar with the mine.

all alike now, and we can all glory
alike in the valor of each side and the
devotion to duty as each side saw its
duty" (Applause).

natives of Herschel Island and along
the Arctic coast are dying from
measles.
The news was brought by the whal-
ing steamer Jeanette. which arrived
yesterday from a whaling cruise. Capt.
Newt of the jeanette to-day said:
''At least rs per cent of the natives
along the Arctic coast have died from
measles. They are dying off like rab-
bits and there seems to be nothing to
check the death rate. The
march of civilization has in
creased the death rate from
Nome north. Two years ago the de-
vastation began, and it has continued
since. When the natives began to
wear civilized mans clothing and drank
whisky then began their decline. Dis
eases unheard of attacked them, and,
not knowing how to care for them
selves, grip and every conceivable mall
ady made their appearance among
them, and spread along the coast with
appalling results"
