DIRIGJBLES FOR ARMY
GEN. ALLEN WILL RECOMMEND
THEIR PURCHASE.

ST. LOUIS. October 24-The interna-
ft:onal cup contest and the dirigible bal
loon races ended aeronauts and Aero
Club officials were leaving for home to-
day.
1t is expected that the interest aroused
here In ballooning will result in other con-
tests In the near future There seems lit
tie doubt that a determined effort will be
made next year by American aeronauts
to regain possession OF the cup won this
year by the Germans.
The articles covering the international
race allow but three entries from each
country represented in the Aeronautic
Federation. The race next year goes to
Germany, but this will not deter the
Americans. who undoubtedly will enter
the full number Of racing teams The
three American balloons in this years
race. the United States, the America and
the st. Louis. may again be chosen to try
for the cup. as they represent the latest
ideas of balloon construction. The Amer
lea, which finished fifth. is the only bag
of American construction. Its perform
ance was satisfactory in every particular.
May Buy Dirigibles.
Ballooning as sport has received a
great impetus by the races held here
and it is believed there will soon be aero
clubs organized in all the larger cities

the army signal corps. who witnessed all
the ascents this week. declared before

dirigible type be bought or constructed
for government experimental work
Welch to Compute Distances.
The exact air line distances travelled
by the balloons that competed in the In
ternational races from st. Louis will be
determined by William Welch. chief
craftsman Of the Signal oCrps of the
army. Capt Chandler, who accompanied
]. c. Mccoy on the balloon America. was
asked to recommend a man to make the
official measurements and he named Mr..
WEIGH. All of the information rela ting
to the anchorage of the balloons has been
telegraphed to Washington. and Mr..
WEIGH at once began the preparation of
map showing the flight of the various
balloons 1t Is expected that the Aero
Club of America will adopt the figures
made by Mr.. Welch. and that the prizes
will be awarded accordingly. Neither Mr..
Welch nor Capt. Chandler will make their
figures public unless authorized to do so
by the Aero Club.
The official measurement of the flight
of the two leading balloons in the race
a. computed at the geological survey to-
day, follows:
st. Louis (Forest Park to Asbury
Park 1874 miles; ST. Louis (Forest Park
to Herbertsvile, n. j.. 1914. The Pom
mern landed at Asbury Park. the longest
distance travelled by the competitors. and
the Isle de France landed al Herbertsvlle
next in distance.

LABOR MEN FEARED
MINERS FEDERATION
Startling Disclosures Made
at GOIdfieId.

GOLDFIELD, NEW, Dec. H.
(SpeciaD "A delegation from the
American Federation of Labor today
called on Gen Funston, who is con-
tinuing his investigation of conditions
with a view of determining the nee
essity for the presence of Federal
troops in Goldfield.
These gentlemen made the most
remarkable statement l have yet
heard" said Gen Funston tonight.
Their statement is that for months
they have lived in constant fear They
have felt it necessary for their
protec ton to go armed at all times,
and have been compelled to avoid
personal contact with members of the
Western Federation of Miners, in or
der to prevent serious trouble. This
condition of affairs they told me,
obtained until the arrival of the
United States troops, since which
event the conditions have been great
ly changed
Gen. Funston felt that this state
ment of conditions came from men in
better position to know the real sit
uation than any others who have
talked with him since his arrival. In
view of these facts Gen. Funston said
there was little possibility of the
troops leaving within ten days, and
on his recommendation half of the
number here now will be retained by
the Washington authorities.
Gov. Sparks has sent a long COM
munication to Washington stating in
detail his position in relation to the
troops.
