BALTIMORE, Md. May 3.-Senator
Germans confidential political friends
in Maryland declare that he will have
the power to name the man who will be
the Democratic nominee for President
and that he will exert the dominating
influence in the national convention.
The leaders here have received in
structions to refrain from booming any
one. They speak kindly of Parker and
make light Of Hearst, but fight shy Of
German. The Senator himself changes
the subject whenever informed that his
nomination would help the party in the
State.
1t can be stated positively, upon au-
thority Of Germans friends. that he is
quietly directing the fight against
Hearst, the idea being TO minimize his
and Bryan's influence as much as pos
sible. Should Hearst or Bryan become
troublesome in the convention then the
German forces will be in a position to
swing in line for Parker and end the
agony. Only In the event of danger,
however, will such a stampede be pre-
cipitated.
Loyal SUPPORT to German.
Senator German undoubtedly has an
understanding with all the State lead
ers. as developments indicate, but not
until the eve of the national conven-
ton will his hands be shown. The dele
cation from Maryland will be composed
Of men who can be depended upon to
stand by him first, last, and all the
time.

man. oratorically and otherwise, as

.GRETHS A|RSHIP
FLIES SIX MILES
Test Regarded as Satisfactory-Fans
and Rudder Inventor Thinks Are
Too Small.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 3.-Dr.
Greth has made another partly success
full trip in his airship. He was accom-
panied by his engineer, Mr. Belcher
Little difficulty was experienced in
making the ascent. After rising 50C
feet from the ground the airship Veered
and circled about for five minutes while
the engine and steering gear were be-
ing tested. The, machine was then
headed south at a brisk gait against
the wind in the direction of San Jose,
which is about fifty miles away
Everything went well until the air
ship arrived over Blanken's Six Mile
House. in the San Jose road. The ma
chine was then going rapidly, but some
thing wert wrong with the machinery,
which caused the airship TO stop. The
inventor and the engineer were seen
trying to adjust the break. After a
pause the fans were started going again
and the ship began TO descend
Fans Too Small.
To all appearances the fans were able
to control the airship, though it was
conceded they were not quite large and
powerful enough to meet resistance OF
strong winds.
Eye witnesses OF the ueSCtHI SAID Inat
the airship came down gradually and
touched the ground gently, allowing the
men in the cage TO step out. Nothing
was injured either in the car or about
the great gas bag.
Mr.. Belcher said of his trip: 1T was
highly successful Everything went
well and all parts of the machinery
were In good working order, except the
giving way of a small valve, which
caused us to descend. l am thoroughly
satisfied with the test. We could d.
rect the machine at will and mace sew
eral complete turns before descending. "
Satisfied With Results.
DR. Greth also expressed himself as
being satisfied with the results OF the
experimental flight because he accom-
plished much more than on former
trials. From this test he concludes he
Is working in the right direction.
II was demonstrated that while the
fans will raise and lower the airship
and also have considerable bearing on
the steering they are not large enough
The rudder will also be enlarged that
the ship may be more dirigible.
This was the first time the engines
were stopped and started again while
the airship was afiight. The test was
made for the reason that in the event
OF necessity TO let gas out Of the bal
loon the engine could be stopped, thus
preventing the gaSolene spark from
exploding the reservoir.
