WANTS WAR BALLOONS.
Major Hersey Thinks This Country
Should Follow Example Set
by Europe.

NEW YORK. Oct. That the gov
eminent and the people of the United
States are tagging far behind the Eu-
opean countries in the matter of aerial
navigation is the opinion of Major
Henry B. Hersey, chief Inspector of the
Government Meteorological Service, or
Weather Bureau, as it is more COM
monty known. who returned to New
York yesterday after a year in Spitz-
bergen, where he has been assisting
Walter Wellman in his effort to reach
the North Pole with an airship.
Major Hersey left for Washington to
obtain consent from the government
to take part in the international aero
nautic cup race from st. Louis Octo-
Der 81.
ITO those who are familiar with what
is being done in Europe he said, sit
is surprising that the United States
does not organize an aeronautic de-
partment for its military service. All
the European powers either have strong
fleets of war balloons or are preparing
to build them, and we certainly cannot
afford to neglect the matter much
longer"

Head Off Masked Thieves.

SEDDEN, Ala, Oct. 7.-One man
dead. one badly wounded and the First
National Bank looted of 5000 0 sum up
the results of a raid made on this place
by four masked men shortly after mid
might.
The lead man is Sheriff John Will
Jams. who was killed by the robbers
while trying to prevent their escape.
and Edward Adams. a deputy, was
wounded while aiding the Sheriff.
The robbers were discovered at work
in the bank about 11:30 by a citizen.
who gave the alarm and notified Sheriff
Williams As the officer and Adams
reached the bank the robbers. who had
evidently learned of the alarm, at
tempted to- leave when they were met
by Sheriff Williams, who called on
them to halt. 2
Before he discovered the whereabouts
of the robbers in the dark they opened
fire on him with a volley, and he was
instantly killed. Adams was wounded
by the volley that killed the Sheriff.
BY this time the town was aroused
and citizens were on the scene, but
most of them, who were unarmed.
dared not face the volley continually
fired by the robbers who ran through
the streets carrying the money to the
yard of the Southern Railway. where
they secured a lever car. They imme-
diately threw their plumber on the car
and ran it down a heavy grade.
Posses have been in pursuit all day.
but have failed to capture the robbers.
1t is believed the work was done by
professionals.

N ROADTHAT
Resulted THE
STANDARD
Louisville & Nashville Would
Not Pay Rebates in
Roundabout Way.

NEW YORK, Oct. THE difficulties OF
the New York Lubricating Oil Company
in its fight with the Standard Oil Com
pany for the business of railroad lubri-
cation throughout the United States,
were related today by Philip Harrison.
of the New York Lubricating Oil Com
pany, in the hearing of the govern
ment's suit against the Standard.
Mr.. Harrison said that the Vacuum
Oil Company, previous to 1894, manu-
featured lubricating oil, but that 1t
made an agreement with the Standard
whereby it turned all its lubricating
business over to the Galena, Signal.
Oil Company, a subsidiary of the
Standard. The witness said hat his
company made a contract with the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad in
1903 to supply the road with lubricating
oil. On the expiration of the contract
President Milton Smith, of the Louis
Vile and Nashville, refused to renew
it, but would give no reason.
Mr.. Kellogg then placed in evidence
the statement, of the Galena Signal Oil
Company. showing that the Louisville
and Nashville at the expiration of the
contract With the NEW IOIh Lupi a
ing Oil Company, made a contract with
the Galena at a higher rate than that
paid the New York Company. MI.
Harrison said President Smith had
stated in a letter that the oils of the
New York Lubricating Oil Company
were entirely satisfactory.
Mr.. Harrison said that the Galena
agents went to President Smith and
told him that the Standard was ship
ping a large amount of oil on the Louis
vile and Nashville, and that the road
should give the contract to the Ga
lena.
President Smith told the Galena
agents that he was not paying rebates
in that way said Mr.. Harrison.
Mr.. Harrison testified hat the New
York Lubricating Oil Company had
contracts with the Central of Georgia
Railroad and the Georgia Railroad, and
that the Galena obtained contracts with
the two railroads at prices which, he
said, he understood were higher than
the prices of the New York Lubricating
Oil Company.

D ELAY FIGH T
BY INSURANCE
MEN
Jerome Opposes Motions
and Wins His Point.
Pleas in Cases.

NEW YORK. Oct. efforts of coun-
sci ior five insurance officials indicted as
the result of the legislative insurance III
~vestigation. to secure further delay OF
their cases. met with opposition on the
part of District Attorney Jerome before
Justice Bowling in the criminal branch OF
the supreme Court today. The ofnclais
under indictment are John R. Hegeman'
president of the Metropolitan Life lnsur-
ance Company; George w. Perkins ana
Charles s.. Fairchild, formerly of the New
York Life and Walter r. Gillette ana
Robert A. Grannis, ex-vice-presidents CT
the Mutual Life.
Motions were made by attorneys for the
defendants asking that the indictments
against their clients be dismissed. Ihey
stated. however, that they were not pre-
pared to argue such motions, and asked
that a further delay of two or three weeks
be granted in which to prepare the cases.
Mr., Jerome insisted that the motions
should be argued by Monday next. The
attorneys. he said, had had from four to
eight months in which to prepare their
arguments, and every consideration had
been extended them. The motions, he said,
practically call for the dismissal OF the in
dictinents on the ground hat they have
not been found in accordance with proceed
dure or that they were found on illegal
evidence.
The court granted Mr.. Jerome's request
that he be permitted to answer oral argu-
ments in brief form, attorneys making
such arguments to furnish him with a
printed transcript.
Mr.. Gillette was the only one of the de-
PENDANTS to appear in court in person.
Counsel for John r. Hegeman, presi-
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, asked for a delay of two or
three weeks. The District Attorney OPP
posed granting the request and the case
was set down>for next Monday.
When the case of George w. Perkins
former vice-president of the New York
Life. was called a plea of not guilty,
which had been entered, was Withdrawn
and a motion was made that the pending
Indictments be dismissed. Arguments on
the motion will be heard on October l6,
a. also will arguments on a similar motion
made in behalf of Charles S. Fairehild,
a former official of the New York Life.
Walter R.. Gillette, former vlce-presi-
dent of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, pleaded not guilty to a charge of
perjury and a hearing in his case was set
for October II. 1t was agreed that argu-
ments be made In the case of Robert A.
Grannis. also former vice-president of the
Mutilal, on October II and q.
