ROPE WRECKS BALLOON
COUNT DE LA VAULX HAS PERIL
Gus FLIGHT IN AIRSHL.

PARIS, December 29.-Comte Henri de Ia
Vaulx made his first free trial with his new
airship at Sartrouville, near Paris. yester-
day and met with an accident that was
exciting. though not disastrous. The new
craft Is of the Siderable pattern The bal
loon part has a capacity of 100 cubic
meters. The length is thirty-two meters.
The motor Is Of acknowledgements.
AS it was the first free ascent, Comte de
la Vaulx decided to employ a guide rope.
He allowed this rope to trail upon the
ground. 1t was a mistake. as circumstances
very quickly demonstrated. AS the balloon
swung around In the wind II was seen that
the guide rope was acting as a drag on
the balloon. which was, however, begin
ming to rush forward at considerable speed.
The balloon headed straight for one of
the embellishments surrounding the field.
Comte de la Vaulx. recognising the danger.
began to throw out ballast as quickly as
he could with one hand, while with the
other he endeavored to alter the course
taken. Unfortunately, the guide rope
proved too heavy drag and kept the head
OF the balloon down toward the ground at q
slight angle.
Comte de Ia vaulx remained cool, his
eye fixed on the top Of the embankment
even as he cast out bag after bag of bal
last He thought he would just clear the
bank. and he would certainly have done SO
had the trail rope been out OF the way.
The drag, however, proved too great, and
in spite Of the ballast which had been
thrown out the cage struck with a shock
against the soil. The front supports were
buckled and many metal stays snapped
beneath the sudden strain. A rush was
made by those present to secure the ma
chine and prevent 1t being carried away
by the wind. Comte de Ia Vaulx remained
calmly in the cage until the balloon had
been carefully housed in the shed. He said:
1T will mean a day or two OF delay. but
learned something worth knowing, II Is
not good starting of with trail rope
hanging down. Moreover. I think, 1t would
be wiser to ascend to a considerable height
before setting the propeller in motion. In
this way 1 should be clear OF all possible
obstacles before l got the balloon in mo-
tion."

SWINDLERS' NEW GAME
"NoTE PARTNERSHIP" SCHEME
CATCHES MANY MERCHANTS.

NEW YORK, December 29.-Quick and
decisive action by well-known 9Th avenue
merchant has just saved him from losing
SIS, 600 by one of the cieverest swindles OF
recent times. He was one of the lucky VIC
tins, other business men throughout the
country are said to have lost several hum
dred thousand dollars by similar scheme
within the year.
This new scheme Is known as the mote
partnership game" and 1t is worked by a
band. one of whom is a reputable member
OF society, owning some property. The pro-
cedure has been the same in all cases.
Several months ago a man called on the
merchant and said he represented clique
that had exceptional facilities for obtaining
discounts at various banks This, he said,
was because of the high standing of one
or more Of the members. He told the mer-
chant that IL the merchant cared to deal
with him they would be able to discount his
notes or have them discounted at less
rate than he had been able to obtain. The
visitor gave references, which all referred
to one man, who upon investigation proved
to be responsible.
Wanted Five Notes.
When the merchant entered into the
transaction he was told that as they were
themselves on the point Of raising a certain
sum he should draw up his paper for SO. 600.
five notes Of 5000 each. and that they
would give him collateral security for one
half of It, taking the proceeds. and at the
expiration of the time repay their share OF
the transaction. At the same time they pre-
scented to him paper which they said was
a contract setting forth the terms of the
joint agreement as had been spoken.
The merchant accepted this. executed his
notes. and they were discounted by bank.
The collateral security failed to materialize,
md tn DAFT fi,n nl,o, ont
to the guarantor of the paper. The guaran-
tor sadly confessed to him that owing to
other financial troubles he had been obliged
to dispose of all his property only a few
days before. He regretted this, but such
was the case.
Consulted a Lawyer.
Greatly alarmed the merchant went to
his lawyer with the agreement. The law
yer studied the document and turned to his
client:
'"This is not a contract" he said ut Is
one of the cleverest copartnership agree
ments 1 have ever read AS it stands now
you have no criminal action whatsoever
agains. the man who disposed of his prop
erty because he is your partner in law, and
your remedy will be in the civil courts.
Then the merchant went to the police.
There was an investigation, and it was an
nounced that there would be contests in the
courts that there would be arrests at all
events. and the honest man" weakened.
The notes were taken up at the bank and
were restored to the merchant without his
having lost dollar.
Who the other business men are that have
been swindled in the same way has not been
revealed. One of the best cards in the
hands of the swindlers has been heretofore
that the victims, fearing that publicity
might injure their credit, have preferred to
pocket the loss and keep silent.
