AIRSHIP COLLAPSES IN FLIGHT.

Parachute Operator Escapes.

SPRINoFIELD. Ohio, July 1s.-Gail Robin
son Of Buffalo had a swift drop Of abou
1000 feet with Knabenshue's airship at 7:16
o'clock this evening. The balloon part col
lapsed in an accident. Robinson escaped
injury with the exception OF a slight scar
on his forehead.
Thousands of people who we're watching
Robinson's fight saw the balloon sway and
then fatten. The machine began to drop
rapidly. and the spectators expected to
find Robinson's mangled body when IL came
down. Instead Robinson was surveying
his dilapidated machine when the people
rushed toward him. With the exception OF
being very white and a few drops OF blood
on his forehead he was all right.
Robinson says that when he started on his
second trial to reach the centre OF the city
he went higher than usual % as to get free
OF the wind. As he was about 1000 feet
high he was struok by counter currents.
The propeller was thrown against the end OF
the balloon. and the rapidly revolving
wheel cut the gas bag open 1t began to
settle rapidly.
Robinson kept his mead and climbed
quickly to the top Of the propeller. which
upendsd the balloon. forming a parachute.
As soon as this was done the air entered
the bag and the machine came down more
gradually. When within a few feet Of the
ground Robinson jumped out. The engine
and airship were smashed. but the gas bag
can be mended.

old son Henry Field Gibson.
The hearing took place in Judge Honor6's

WHAT WAS IN KONDO'S BOXY
Mystery About YamamotO's GIT 20 the
President Ethel ROoseyelt's Party.

OYSTER BAY. n. Y, July 13.-The gift that
Admiral Baron Yamamoto carried TO the
President when he visited Sycamore Hill
yesterday bids fair TO join h How old
is Annr- class. Secretary Loeb was besieged
with questions abou the gift last night. and
to-day HI made a special memorandum
to ask about it on his daily visit to the Hill.
On his return the Secretary said to his
~qGestioners:
81 learned that there was nothing to he
said about it (the gift and ]" asked no
further questions"
This sounded final. but was not satisfying.
Even the quiet village folk have had their
curiosity stirred and If there was any hope
OF learning just what was in that paste
board box that the Admiral's aide carried
80 carefully there would he a guessing
contest on at the church fair. One dis
gruntled man, who had pestered Noah
Sarman. the Presidents hired man. n
Joe Washington. the coachman, without
getting any satisfaction remarked:
I'm bet IL was one OF them dwarf Japa-
nese trees-probably a lemon tree"
The supposed gift has gained interest
through the fact that tonight Miss Ethel
day. 1t has been suggested that the Japa-
nese had learned Of the approaching ami
versary and that the mysterious gift was
for the Presidents daughter.
In honor OF Miss Ethel's birthday a mas
ouerade was held al Sycamore Hill tonight.
The Secret Service automobiles we're busy
during the early part Of the evening carry
ing Miss Ethel's Young friends to the Presi-
dent = home. A large number OF guests were
invited.
The President to-day appointed Chester
W. Hill to he Collector OF Customs at Phila-
delphia.
John f. Wilkie, the chief Of the Secret
Service, was the only official visitor to-day.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 13.-Mayor Schmitz
suffered another defeat to-day when his
application to the Court Of Appeals for a
writ Of mandate was not granted. Attorney
c. W. Cobb, representing the prosecution.
said the request was founded on deception.
The petition charged that Judge Dunno
was biassed. that he refused 10 act on a
bill Of exceptions and that he is ~purposely
hindering the perfection Of the appeal in
order to keep Schmitz in Jail.
In his answer MIR. Cobb denied these
accusations, narrated the circumstances
causing the delay and declared that Judge
Dunno has been willing to expedite the
settlement as the statute directs.
After hearing this answer Presiding Judge
Cooper said that as a question OF fact was
presented the Court would not attempt to
issue a peremptory writ until the issue had
been settled. The hearing was thereupon
continued indefinitely, the Court expressing
its belief that Judge Dunno will do his duty.

MUSTN'T ENFORCE RATE Law.
Fcderal ~nnlunetion Issned In North Caro-
lina In the Southern Railroad Case.

RALEroH, N. c.. July ia restraining
order was issued to-day by Judge Pritchard
OF the United States Circuit Court at Ashe-
vile DIRECTED to j. A. Spence, a lawyer of
randolph county, and emit persons
named " clients Of Spence forbiddins
the prosecution OF suits which have been
brought in III Superior Court Of Randolph
county for penalties under the railroad
rate laws passed by the Legislature at Its
recent session.
The order includes B. c. Beokwith. an
attorney Of this city. who had advised that
suits may be brought for penalties not
w~ithstanding the former restraining order
Issued by Judge Pritchard In the rate cases.
Tho order forbids the persons named and
all other persons individuals and corpora
lions instituting or prosecuting any suit
or other proceeding. either civil or criminal,
against the Southern Railway or It's agents
the State laws prescribing reduced
rates.
The prohibition Of prosecuting criminal
causes raises the question Of Jurisdiction
between the State and Federal courts and
may lead to further complications, in view
Of the fact that the Grand Jury OF Wake
county to-day in this city found four bills
OF indictment against the ticket agent
Of the Southern Railway for charging a
higher rate than TX cents for passenger
farcs.
The restraining order does not expressly
include officers Of State courts. but lawyers
have expressed the opinion that the pro-
hibition extends to them by implication.
Judge b. F. Long, who is presiding in the
Superior Court here. will not give an ex-
preston OF opinion on tho subject, but
something vigorous from the bench 10 ex-
pected when tho court convenes on Monday
morning. In view Of his strong charge to
the Grand Jury on this subject early this
week II is believed that he will make his
position stronger instead Of receding from
IL, an he has already declared. in the charge
referred to. that a Federal court could not
restrain q State o from proceeding In
the limo OF its Jurisdiction.
Four bills Of indictment against Thomas r.
Green, ticket agent Of the Southern Railway
In this city, were returned In the Superior
Court to-day. The bills, which are similar,
alioge that Green charged a higher rate than
TX cents for passenger tickets sold since
July I, when the new rate law went into
elect. Green has not been arrested, but
he is in h city and will make no effort to
evade the process Of the court.
