crowd in the concourse- After proceed
ing one-half to three-quarters OF a mile
westward Knabenshue turned the air
ship about and again passed over the
concourse, at the same time increasing
his altitude until he was about $500
feet above the earth.
Sailing first to the northwest and
then to the southeast, occasionally
making complete turns, Knabenshue
continued in a generally easterly direc-
tion until over the Cascades. the cen

from the point OF starting
At about that time the barely per-
ceptible breeze that had been blowing
from the northwest Increased 10 about

north In order to return to the start

shue to breast this breeze.

power. came toward the concourse at
a speed that caused the spectators t
cheer and to throw their hats into the
air. The demonstration was observed
by Knabenshue, who leaned far out
and waved an empty ballast bag.
Without deviation the California
Arrow continued on IN the teeth OF the
breeze gaining speed and rushing
toward the concourss IN an imposing
F. manner
When within a few hundred wards
OF the concourse Knabenshue moved
forward; the Arrow responded imme-
diately to the downward shift and
sailed toward the ground without
diminishment Of speed.
Knabenshue entered the concourse
from the east from height OF about
two hundred feet. and. slowing the
speed Of his motor directed the airship
directly over the wooden trestIes that
had supported the Arrow before the
fight started. His momentum was too
great to admit Of stopping exactly in
the place from which he had made the
ascent, but the airship settled to the
ground within one hundred feet
WILL TRY FOR THE PRIZE
Captain Baldwin was extremely op-
timistic regarding the future OF his
airship. He said:
Nov 1 viii not be content to leave
before I have had several trials for
that 100000 prize. The conditions are
rather severe. but 1 think that the
Arrow can make the required distance
within the time limit.
''As a result of to-day's flight I~havs
unquestionably qualified for a trial.
Knabenshue went up with instructions
not to go far from the aeronautic con-
course and then bring the ship to the
ground after a trial OF a half hour.
He came within two minutes OF obey
ing my instructions TO the letter"

SUCCESS FOLLOWS FAILURE.
The successful flight came as a cli-

Baldwin and Knabenshue had worked

Makes Big Clean Up
in Steel and
Coffee.
He Buys at Low Figure
and Then Profits by
Bull Campaign.
Joins With Herman Sielken When
Market Is Disrupted and Takes
Advantage of the Rise.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-In the midst
of the severest break in the present
bull market, Wall street was flooded
to-day with gossip of how certain men
had made fortunes on the rise. Chief
among these was Charles NJ. Schwab,
formerly president of the Steel Trust.
His winnings for last year were report
ed to be at least sS.OOO.OOO and circum-
stances corroborate the statement.
Schwab's campaign began in coffee.
in which he cleaned up more than s3.-
900, 900. It is ending in Steel preferred.
According to report, Herman Sielken.
the big coffee merchant. had Schwab
as market partner in his celebrated
bull campaign last winter. Sielken as
a bear had drowned the bulls, uEder
the leadership of the late Leonard
Lewisohn, in an ocean of coffee and
had broken the price from II cents to
5 cents pound.
When the market wavered at the bot
tom Sielken turned, and, with Schwab
as a market companion, bought mil
lions of pounds. The sensational rise
that wiped out a paper loss of more
than $12,000,000 against the Lewisohn
estate is history. out of the uproar
Schwab cashed his s3.00O.0oo or more
profits.
He took part in other speculations un-
til he was certain the tide had turned
in stocks, and especially in Steel. When
Steel preferred was at so he was almost
the only insider to buy openly, and
there is apparent proof that he turned
his profits made in coffee into Steel pre-
ferred at bottom prices.
