FOLLOWING
ASCENSION
Parachute Leapsr Lands on Pri-
vata Property and Fails TO
Maintain Assault Complaint

1t Is not often that balloon figures in
. trial before Judge Sweetland. particu-
1arly in an assault case. as did one today.
And by tns IL is not meant that the
reader should infer that one man picked
up a big balloon and swatted another
person with 1t.
Far from IT!
The balloon was used as a means OF
advertising sale of real estate the
probable theory being that the public,
viewing the alt'tudnal height OF the
balloons flight would be induced to take
a correspondingly high view OF the valua-
tion OF the land they were asked to bid
upon.
Be that as II may the balloon went up
from Eden park on Memorial Day and
thereby hangs a tale.
The balloon belonged TO an outfit ope-
rated by Charles Hslman one OF those
young men who served in being hosted
far above the earth by big bags OF hot
air and hanging to the bar OF a para
chute as the latter Is cut loose.
On this occasion the cut-loose part
worked all right, but the balloon drop
ped into David w Taylor's orchard
which Is upon the city side OF the line.
and proceeded 10 do stunts with the trees.
One of Hilsman's assistants put chase
after the dropping balloon and was rolling
tt up when Mr.. Taylor put In his appear
ance and an objection at one and the
same time
The big bag couldn't go off the premises
until the damage to his trees had been
settled for.
Hillsman was sent for. brought
wagon. and. backing II upon the Taylor
premises, prepared 10 remove his balloon.
Mr.. Taylor said him may"
Whereupon there was a heated confer
ence. The hot air was all out OF the
Balloon. but not out OF its owner. He
had his rights, so he thought. and he
proceeded to demonstrate that fact
There was scuffle. Hllsman was
pushed out of the way and fell over. and
regaining his footing said that he would
see Taylor again and departed TO look up
an officer who would assist I'm another
ascension--from the ground TO the body
OF the wagon.
The balloon was recovered. carted away
and a complaint OF assault was lodged
against Taylor by HIllsman.
The case was tried today and IL was
clearly shown that Hillsman was a tres
passer at the time of the alleged assault.
Judge Sweetland in discharglng the ac-
cused, said that people who go soaring
through the air. alighting where they
chose should not be too presumptuous as
20 their right to enter upon other persons
property. Mr.. Taylor had acted within |
his own right

BEAUPRE's ACTS 1NDoRsEp.
Additional Instructions Sent Regard
ing the Canal Treaty.

Additional instructions have been cabled
Mr.. Beaupre. the American minister at b.
gotta. Colombia, reiterating the position of
this government regarding the canal treaty.
The State Department assumes entire re-
sponsibility for every representation made
by Mr.. Beaupre to the Bogota government
concerning the treaty. and his activity in
tnat direction has been indorsed by the
President and Secretary Hay.
Minister Beaupre's latest instructions adj
wise him that President Roosevelt will not
enter into any engagement with the CO.
lombian government which will hamper his
scope of action regarding the canal treaty
This government will not now indicate
what its course of action will be in the
event the treaty Is rejected
Mr.. Calvo. he Costa Rican minister
spent some time at the State Department
today In conversation with Secretary Hay
about the canal situation. The visit was
entirely informal. but 1t was a satisfaction
to the State Department to know that
Nicaragua and Costa Rica appreciate the
decision of the United States government
to suspend action during the period for the
ratification of the Hay-Herran treaty,
which expires by law September q. Until
that time the Nicaraguan and Costa Rican
governments appreciate that 1t would be
improper for the United States to open ne
gotiations looking to the construction OF
the canal by another route unless in the
meantime the colombian congress should
formally reject the treaty. which 1t has not
yet done.

CIGARS FREE OF DUTY
SUPERINTENDENT KEMPNER AC-
cusEp OF SMUGGLING.
Declares Hs Merely Accepted Gifts, as
<hHe Believed Was
Customary.

a New trYQEk paper today publishes
statemenbto the effect that Louis Kemp
ner. superintendent OF the registry system.
Post OfficS Department. has been found by
the post Office inspectors to have carried
on systena tic smuggling of Cuban cigars
through the registered mails. Proof. 1t is
stated. has thus far been obtained of the
importation of between fifty and sixty
boxes of cigars. on which the payment OF
duty was evaded and many Of which were
sold for prices in the neighborhood of 81
a box. .- -
Required to Open Mail.
In all instances where mail from foreign
countries comes addressed to private indi-
viduals the person to whom 1t Is addressed
is required to come to the post office and
open the package in the presence of GUS
toms officials. and It is therefore claimed
that Kempner must have used his official
position to smuggie the goods and have had
the cigars sent to him concealed in pack
ages OF official registered mall.
The last consignment Of cigars sent to
kempner, 1t Is said. was seized by the in
spectors and turned over to the revenue Of
ficials for appraisement. and 1t Is believed
that 1t will be left for representatives of
the treasury to deal with the offense.
" A Star reporter showed the above state
ment to Mr.. Kempner today.
Mr.. Kempner's Reply.
The article he replied. lis cruelty un-
just and untrue. and cannot conceive how
a paper Of standing could publish it. unless
1t has been Imposed upon by some one who
has malicious desire to injure my good
name before the public. and. perhaps. affect
my standing in the Post Office Department.
Il was in the postal service in Cuba from
June. 1888. to January, 1900. During that
period l made many friends all over the
island, and. in accepting pieces Of reg g
tered mail, containing cigars sent to me
by them as gifts 1t never occurred to me
that was guilty of any wrong doing.
The President and the Postmaster Gen
eral have issued number of orders s.nce
July, 1893. permitting the sending OF arti-
cleS of merchandise or other things to
friends and relatives between this country
and It's island possessions free of duty and
l have reason to believe that the privilege
thus given WAS being largely made use of
openly and without, any misgivings as 20
it's propriety by persons in Cuba and in
this country.
Il cannot believe that the fact that
have received cigars occasionally as gifts
from friends in Cuba during a period COW
ering almost four years. and invariably in
small quantities. can be grossly exagger-
ated and distorted into the appearance Of
an act of smuggling.
1T would be improper for me to say more
than this at this time. but l do feel that
l am entitled to say this much in defense
of my good name. -
