Descends Among Cattle.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 27-AIan R. Haw-
ley, the New York aeronaut, who left St
Louis this afternoon at 2:15 o'clock, landed
at pm. on a farm six miles east of Car
rollton. III. He telephoned la ter that he de-
scended in a meadow among herd of cat
tie. He said that he had a pleasant voy-
age, and that he met with no mishap. He
covered distance of about sixty miles. He
said that he was several miles from
railroad. and would be unable to return to
st. Louis tonight to make the night ascen-
sion, as planned.
ascension made by Hawley, who will pilot
the st. Louis balloon in the coming internal
tional races in October. He assembled from
the gas tank yards at I'd and Rutger
streets. Mr.. Hawley will have to- make ten
trips in the air-some by day, some by
night, in company with licensed pilot.
and others by himself-before he becomes
qualified. This one was undertaken by
Hawley alone.
Mr.. Hawley stated just before the ascen-
sion that he intended to stay up only an
hour. and go in whichever way the wind
choose to take him. The start of Mr..
Hawleys trip today was made at 2:20 At
$50 the balloon was over Alton, and high
in the air.
The balloon, the Orient, is a bag with
capacity of about $1,000 cubic feet. The in
flation was commenced at noon. and it was
145 when the bag was fully rounded out.
and another thirty-five minutes elapsed be-
fore everything was ready for the trip
After all was in readiness the bag was
moved across the yard for about LOO yards,
balanced and then let go.
Mr.. Hawley remarked just as he was ten
feet over ground that it was magnificent
start. but in a moment he was hastily
throwing out sand to avoid cOliding with
nearby shed. Then all went smoothly. and
he sailed upwardy and ENTHUSIASTICALLY at
first then the bag shifted to the north, and
finally veered to the northeast.
There will probably be another ascension
the early part Of next week by Mr.. Nc
Coy and Capt. Chandler Of the United
States army. This will be as lengthy
trip as permits, as the men will try to
capture the Lahm cup for distance travel.
Besides. observations for the government

THE BLACK HAND TRIAL.
State Closed It's Side Of Case - Sur
prises in Store.

WILKESBARRE. Pa. April q. - The
commonwealth closed its side Of the case in
the BLACK Hand trial today. E. F.
Roth. a gunsmith of this city, testified that
the empty shells found on the ground in the
vicinity of the house occupied by the Rizza
brothers were of the same size as those
found In the possession Of some of the de-
PENDANTS when they were arrested by the
state police.
In his opinion the guns fired at the house
were capable Of carrying a distance of 500
yards. The purpose of this testimony was
to show that those who made the attack
on the Rizza dwelling did not have to ap-
proach closely, but could stand on their
own premises on a hillside some distance
away and fire into the house. Several of
the bullets went through the house and
lodged in a bedpost.
County Detective Mackin produced a
large number of bullets which he had ex-
tracted from the woodwork in the Rizza
house.
When the prosecution closed the defense
stated that they were not ready with their
witnesses and asked that the case go over
until Monday. The court granted the re-
quest. The lawyers for the prisoners have
given no hint as to what their line of de-
Tense will be, but 1t is said they have some
surprises in store for the prosecution.

ST PAUL Mimi, April 27.-The most
furious snowstorm that has occurred in
the northwest has prevailed for twenty
hours. All over the Dakotas, as far west
as Montana, the ground is covered with
six to ten inches of snow. Railroad traf-
fic is delayed five to fifteen hours. Farm
ers have been delayed in their seeding and
will be forced to replant. In Minneapolis
and st. Paul the street car system has
been blocked all day, cars being pushed
through internationally.
Tonight the temperature dropped 10 de-
grees and the snow drifts are piling high,
blocking many of the lines of the street
car service. Reports from the west show
the storm is widespread and that the snow
fall has been most disastrous to the farm
ers. for they will be delayed in their seed
ing for several days. Reports from the
railroad show that not only are the over
land trains in North Dakota snow bound
and stalled, but many wrecks have been
reported, one on the Great Northern, west
of Minot, in which eleven persons were
seriously injured. The heavy snow has put
the wires out of order, and details cannot
be obtained.

CHICAGO, April 27.-Shallowness. pas

sins Of the American people. President
Kings diagnosis Of the nations case was

on living fast, and We do. But the nation
that lives too fast to think is lost.
"It is curious that in this age Of science,
in which the reign Of law is supreme,
there should be so utter disregard for
law in moral and spiritual affairs. In our
reaction from Puritanism we seem to have
fallen into Ecclesiastical easygoing
point Of view, as If, somehow or other We
expected to escape the law whenever we
so desire"

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, April 27.-With the view of COM
pairing results obtained from two balloons
OF extremely different sizes. the Aero Club
at 7:3O o'clock tonight started the Aigle,
the largest balloon in France, Of 4.15O cubic
metres and the Micromegas Of 400 metres.
The Aigle, whose second ascent this is. had
aboard ten passengers, including Santos
Dumont and Cashier Leblanc. who will go
to America later on to participate in bal
loon races. With such heavy human freight
the Aigie was unable to carry more than
400 kilos of ballast, so it is not expected to
make long trip.
