BANKHEAD SERENE
SENATOR HAS UTMOST CONFIDENCE . ~ IN POSITION.
Ysleeves That His Name Alone VIII Be Presented To The Legislature,
 But h Prepared For Fight.

United States Senator John H. Bank head spent yesterday in Montgomery. The successor to Senator John T. Morgan, who was appointed last week by Governor Conner and who Is mak- Ing . fight to serve out the entire term of his distinguished predecessor. was given a hearty greeting to the Capital City, where he is well known and where he has close family con- nections.
 Senator Bankhead reached Montgom- cry about 6 o'clock from Tuscaloosa. His train was late on account of a wreck on the Mobile and Ohio Rail- road and he was consequently much fatigued. He spent most of the day : in resting in the lobby of the Exchange Hotel and in his apartments at that hostelry.
 Yesterday morning he called at the Capitol to see Governor Conner but found that official out of the city |. Senator Bankhead has not changed his attitude in the fight for election to serve out the entire term of Senator Morgan. He is not seeking a fight but is preparing himself for one if one is made. He feels perfectly secure in This position and is extremely doubtful is any opposition of any character be- ing brought forward when the Legis- lature goes into an election.
 Senator Bankhead and his friends have made a careful canvass of the sit- uation. They believe that the people as a whole regard 1t that the Legisln- ture is morally pledged by the Sena- sa torial primary to elect hin~to the full Nkrm. Senator Bankhead said yester- day to number of those who ap- preached him that he had absolutely nothing to fear from any source His entire attitude throughout the day was one of complacent satisfaction. De- spite two positive announcements, he believes his name alone will be pre- scented to the Legislature.
 In reference to Governor Conner. the Senator declared that he had no fight on with Governor Conner. Our ideas differ on number of points" he ex- plained, ''but personally have no war on the administrations"
 Throughout the day. a number of Montgomery political leaders shook hands with Senator Bankhead and as-. sured him of their hearty support, if there is opposition to his election by the Legislature.
 The Senator as he held an informal levee in the Exchange Hotel lobby and on Court Square expressed perfect con- fdence that the Legislature. of Ala bama would not go back on the pledge

HAWLEY BALLOON LANDS
Comes Down at London. Ind. Sixteen
Miles From Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 1s.-The
IIawley balloon which left st. Louis
London, Ind, 16 miles southeast of this
city this morning. All on board are
well and there were no mishaps. The
balloon is in good condition.
St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 1S.-The balloon
Stevens No. 21 with capacity of 49,
900 cubic feet of gas, assembled from
here at $50 yesterday evening, carry
ing up Aeronaut Allen r. Hawley and
Augustus Post Owing to a misunder-
standing the regular supply of light
balloon gas was shut off after the de-
parture of the balloon in which
Aeronauts Mccoy and Chandler had
assembled two hours previously, and
Hawley and Post were forced to use
their balloon. That dampened their
hopes for covering any considerable
distance. but they decided to make the
trial anyway. As they landed at Lon
don, Ind, this morning the distance
covered is $50 miles on straight line.
After Lahm's Record.
St. Louis. No. Oct 1S-The mes
sage dropped from the United States
signal corps balloon No. 10 by
Aeronauts ]. C. Mccoy and Captain
Charles Def. Chandler and tele-
graphed to the Associated Press at
Chicago from Leesburg, O., by the
finder, shows that the balloon in IL
hours and so minutes covered a dis
lance measuring $50 miles on a
straight line.
The international record estab-
lished by Lieutenant Lahm last year
in Europe, was 420 miles on a straight
line, winning for him the James Cor
don Bennett cup. He at once offered
cup himself to the aeronaut beating
his record. The message from
Aeronauts Mccoy and Chandler states
that at the time of dropping the mes
sage they were travelling fast south
east. Therefore it is considered posi-
BILE they may beat the record estab-
lished by Lieutenant Lahm.
The ascension was made here at
O'Clock last evening, merely as a long
distance test, preliminary to the inter-
national aeronautic contests next
week.
The balloon holds rs. 900 cubic feet
of gas and the two aeronauts felt con-
fident of being able TO remain in the
air all night.

TO TRY FORD AGAIN.
Prosecution Refuses to Substitute Any
Other Alleged CRATER.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 1S.-When
the second bribery case against TREY
L. Ford, general counsel for the United
Railroads, was called for trial before
Judge Lawlor in the superiorscourt this
morning, Attorney A. A. Moore of coun-
sci for the defense interposed a request
that Ford's place on the calendar be
given to Patrick Calhoun, as the de-
Tense desires that he be next tried.
Judge Lawlor said that was a matter
that lay solely with the prosecution. As
sistant District Attorney O'Gara refused
the request. He said the prosecution
preferred to retry Ford and that the
plan would not be changed.
He said that the pending trial of Ford
would be on the charge of bribing
Supervisor Jennings J. Phillips in the
sum of $4,000 to vote for the trolley
franchise.
After the several bribery cases pend
ing against Patrick Calhoun, Thornwell
Mullaly, William M. Abbott, Eugene
Schmitz and Abraham Ruef had been
continued for two weeks, considera BILE
time was consumed in Strengthening out
the newly organized panel of 100 odd
names from which Is to be selected the
jury to try Ford. Several panelmen had
failed to respond to the courts SUBJ
poena and Judge Lawlor would not
proceed to the work of jury selection
until the last of them had given an ac-
count of himself.

RACE WITH A TRAIN.
Trial Balloon Was Victorious Over a
Nine Mile Course.

ST. Louis, Oct. 1S.-Two ballooning
teams that are to compete in the In
ternationa1 races for the James Cor
don Bennett cup next Monday ascend
ed yesterday afternoon in smaller bal
looms and with the expectation of
staying up all night to test balloon
ing conditions in the darkness. Aero
nauts J. C. Mccoy and Captain Chas
Def. Chandler, who will man the
America in the races, assembled at
4:10 D. m. in the United States signal
corps balloon No. 10 and drifted off
in a northerly direction. Two hours
later Alan r. Hawley and Augustus
Post, pilot and aide respectively of the
balloon, st. Louis made flight in the
Stevens 81, taking the same general
direction as Mccoy and Chandler
Both the government balloon and the
Stevens 81 are small compared with
the cup contenders, but the aeronauts
figured that the almost ideal weather
conditions would enable them to re-
main in the air until daybreak 1t
was announced there would be no at
tempt at race, the flight being en-
tirely experimental.
Up to midnight but one of the BAL
looming teams had been reported as
sighted and that was when the Nc
Coy-Chandler craft lowered for a
short time over Edwardsville, Ill. 90
miles north of here for a short time.

FOLLOW HEINzE.
Retirement of Other High Bank
Officials Is Expected.
Financial Situation Is Not Yet
Wholly Satisfactory.
1T is UNDER CONTROL.
According to a Representative
of the Clearing House.
Condition Of Several Banks
Discussed at Meeting.

New York, Oct. 18.-A special meet
ing of the clearing house committee
was held this morning to consider the
general banking situation. The solv-
ency of the Mercantile National bank
which was reported by President Nash
of the Corn Exchange bank last night
was reaffirmed.
1t is understood that the condition
or certain other banks in this city was
discussed at the meeting, but so far as
could be learned, no definite action
with regard to these institutions was
taken: To quote representative of
the clearing house, 1.-The situation is
developments are looked for"
In conservative circles the feeling
prevails that certain other interests
will have to be eliminated before COM
plete confidence in the local banking
situation can be restored. 1t is be-
lleVed that the retirement of F.
Augustus .Heinze from the presidency
of the Mercantile National bank will
be followed by the retirement of other
persons from other banks.
Precipitate declines to the lowest
prices of the year in the stock market
followed the meeting of the clearing
house committee today, sentiment on
the stock exchange being disturbed by
rumors as to the proceedings of the
committee Statements were made by
several of those who participated in the
conference To the erect that except for
possible changes in the personnel of
the management of other banks than
the Mercantile National the situation
was satisfactory. All of those present
at the clearing house agreed that the
examination of the affairs of the Mer-
camille National bank had shown that
institution to be absolutely solvent with
its capital stock unimpaired. 1t was
said also that rumors as to other banks
were incorrect and that today's meeting
of the clearing house had shown that
all of the New York institutions were
fully able to meet their obligations.
At first only metal stocks suffered
sharply, but a little later the railways,
especially Union Pacific, Reading and
ST. Paul fell away on heavy selling to
the lowest prices of the year. In some
instances the quotations for stocks were
the lowest since 1893
The weakness on the metal stocks
was exemplified in sale of Guggen-
helm exploration on the curb at 120.
This is $50 a share lower than the last
preceding sale.
There were heavy demands for call
loans today which advanced the rate to
9 per cent shortly before 2 o'clock.
