BALLOONS OVER
LAKE MICHIGAN
Great International Race Of
the AerOnautS Now on
in the West

CHICAGO. Oct. 22-Balloon No. g..
the United States. piloted by Major
Hershey and at least one other. and
possibly two of the entries in the in
ternational race in the air are now
out over Lake Michigan-the one great
peril the aeronauts dreaded. The
other one or two air crafts are sup
posed also to be manned by Americans.
The cause for the confusion on wheth-
er there are two or thre over the lake
is the fact that two were seen at
Grays Lake. fifteen miles from wauke-
gan at $50 this morning, and Major
Hersey's craft at Zion City at $50. But
when the United States was seen it
had no companion. This would indi-
cate three balloons.
The balloons were travelling in a
northeasterly direction with a rather
stiff southwest wind at their backs
and We're about $50 feet from the
ground. Neither Of the balloons seen
at Gray's Lake bore a number that
could be discerned in the early morn
ing. but the men in the basket called
to thee rowd assembled in the street
to find where they We're Major
Hershey used a megaphone to COM
municate with Chief of Police Walker
at Zion City.
where are we7' he called out. and
being told. asked Walker to send word
to st. Louis that everything on the
balloon was working in fineo rder.
One of the balloons seen here is sup
posed to be the same that passed
Bloomington. H.. at $50 a. m. This
craft was headed for Chicago. The
Niagara had been sighted at midnight
at Mount Vernon. Ind. but no further
definite reports had been received from
II. When the america was reported
at Mount Vernon it was followed
closely by another balloon. but the two
may have become separated.
Reports received up to 2 o'clock this
morning indicated that the balloons
were sailing in two general directions.
One division was across Illinois, hav-
ing been reported at Pana, Mattoon,
Charleston. Efhngham and Paris, the
last named town being near the Indi-
ana line Another division. including
at least two balloons. was travelling
northerly. IL was reported from
Jacksonville. Bloomington and SPRING
field. These, probably the American
crafts. were sailing so close TO the
ground that the occupants of the
baskets could be heard talking to each
other.

PROBING into

The Trouble Regarded as a
Case Of UndieeSted
Securities
PUBLIC IS NOT AFFECTED
BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.

NEW YORK. oct. 22.-The house clean
ing now going on ia New York banks IS
regarded in the financial district as being
considerably overdue. At the time Of the
insurance exposures. IL was predicted the
banks would be next but they escaped TO
make way for the Standard Oil and Trac-
ton revelations. The bank examiners have
proceeded with a sensational rapidity.
1t took months 20 get Mccall and Nc
Curdy out of the Insurance companies, but
In four days the presidents Of four ma
tional banks and the president Of one
trust company have been summary
bounced, with a long list Of directors.
The trouble originated from the same
cause. Wall street system Of legal loot
ing that was effective Ia the case Of the
Insurance companies.
In the insurance exposures the oper-
ators Involved included r. H. Hartman
Senator Chauncey M. Depew. George w
Perkins. Of J. T.. Morgan & Co., and q
host Of lesser fry. including heads OF the
corporations themselves.
Now In the revelations the big men
so far uncovered are h. Augustus Helnze,
Charles W. Morse, Y. r. Thomas and
others less well-known nnanciers.
Last summer when Heinze bught control
Of the Mercantile National Bank he paid
for his stock az a figure that assured on.y
two per cent. interest on the investment
IL was not then cleared up whether h,
was seeking conservative investment
for his own savings or whether he needle
bank In his stock business
Charles W. Morse bought a string Of
seven banks by working the same scheme
that Hartman worked.
Along with their banking interest,
Heinze organized the United Copper Com.
pany. with S90OOO.0OO in securities. Will,
Morse combined the various steamship
lines along the Atlantic coast and trlbu.
tary rivers and noated S50.0OO.OO0 in bonds
1t is the custom of Wall street backs L,
4 loan money on marketable securities IN
I to 50 per cent Of the value II the market
! value OF securities fall the bank demands
more security. But stocks rarely fan NOR,
than five points at time so the nankl
are able to keep their leans safe. In on
day, however, the Heluze and Morse Sc
oWities fell from a market value Of nft,
cents on The dollar or more TO n poin
where It was practically Impossible 4
sell them at any price. There was no timl
for the banks involved TO get sccurite
and they We're left stranded high on tn,
beach.
This gave the clearing house. nov
known In Wall street as the cleaninr
house, its opportunity. 1t had these oper
ators absolutely at its mercy and refuse,
to put up a cent until they got out OF tn,
banking business entirely.
In general the entire trouble Is regards,
as an acute case Of undigested securit'os
but this time It is the inside banks tina
have the Indigestion and not the othe

GOVERNMENT
WAR ON TRUSTS
Products Of Other Combines
May be Seized by Federal
Officers
HIGH HANDED, SAY
CORPORATION LAWYERS
By THE JoURNAL's Special wire.

By THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. oct. 22.-Is the Fed
eral government able to enter upon a
general policy of seizing the products
of trusts.
High officials of the Department of
Justice regard the invoking Of an hith-
erto unused section of the Trust
law in the legal warfare against the
tobacco trust. detailed exclusively in
the United Press dispatches yesterday
of the deepest significance.
They intimate that il may fore
shadow similar action against the
Standard Oil Fertilizer, Powder, and
Anthracite coal trusts. suits for the
dissolution of which are now pend
ing
They point out that If the law per-
mits the seizure and condemnation of
the one trusts goods in Interstate
and foreign commerce there is obvious
~ nothing to prevent the seizure of
the goods of the other trusts.
Drastic Action.
'"rhe action taken at Norfolk yes
terday, in the seizure of tobacco con-
signed to the British American To-
baoco Company, of London is unques-
tionably drastic" explained a legal Of
fcer today. "As we see it, however
the law provides the weapon and we
would be derelict in our duty if we
failed TO enforce It, If the cOndem-
nation section Of the law is objection
able, it should be repealed This is for
Congress 10 determine"
Corporation lawyers. on the other
hand, characterize the government
action as high handed. They say the
section Of the law just invoked for the
first time. is only aimed to give the
Federal authorities final power TO stor
an illegal corporation doing business
after II has been so declared by the
courts IN caG Of a refusal to obey the
courts orders.
These lawyers declare that the law
makers never intended to give the Fed
eral authorities the off-hand right e
stamp a corporation as illegal and fur
nlsh them the weapon Of drastic en-
forcement. without due process Of law
1t Is probable that the case will get into
the Supreme Court of the United States
on this constitutional question
Other Seizures May Follow.
It is from a high source that the Nor
folk seizure was made for the particu-
lar purpose Of notifying certain trusts
that the government was losing patience
over legal delays, and that If this pol
icy were persisted I'm, wholesale seiz-
ures by the government would follow
1--WE are sincerely desirious of know
ing just what the antitrust and inter
state commerce law means" said anoth-
er lawyer of the government today.
"The subterfuges, evasions, and lega
auibbles of the trusts are becoming very
annoying It is likely that when some
of these gigantic combinations see what
we can, and may do, they may finC
it to their own selfish interests to ex-
pedite a ruling from the highest tri-
bunal on all controverted questions"
