NEW EPOCH IN
 BALLOON SAILING U. s. Signal Corps Wins Lahm Cup by Floating
 Over Some Five
 Hundred Miles.
AERONAUTS ARE IN
 THE AIR ALL NIGHT
Speed Made Estimated at Twenty-two Miles an Hour-Ascent Made
 to Test Gas.

St. Louis, Oct. 1S-Swinging through the atmosphere at speed of about 22 miles an hour, the United States signal corps balloon No. 10, in which aeron- auts J. c. Mccoy and Captain Charles Der. Chandler of the United States signal corps, ascended at St Louis, last evening, passed over Illinois and h. diana last night and across Ohio to-day and tonight probably landed in the vii cinity of Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
 The distance covered, on a straight line measurement, is approximately 800 miles, and the length of the voyage won for the aeronauts the Lahm cup.
 Lieut.. Lahm won the James Gordon Bennett cup offered in the internation- al balloon contest last year by trav- cling 402 miles from Paris into England. He himself offered a cup to any aeron- aut who would beat the record.
 The worlds balloon record, which has stood for seven years, was established in 1900 by Count Henri Dalavaux, who covered 1900 miles in a balloon from Paris into Russia. He broke the rec ord established July. 1859, by Prof. John Wise, who covered distance of 1,150 miles from St. Louis to Hender- son, N. r.
 When the ascension, was made last evening 1t was the intention of the areronauts to remain in the air all night as a test of the gas to be used by the balloons In the international aeronautic contests which begin on Monday. However. considering the likelihood that they might be carried a long distance, they went all prepared | for long flight. Provisions in tin cans, self-heating by lime-stacking device, were stored in the basket. A number of different instruments to test att
 nosphere were carried.
 The balloon with capacity of 7S,- 900 cubic feet of gas, was filled yester- day afternoon from the gas plant at Second and Rudger streets. A number of members of the Aero club of St. Louis and visiting aeronauts were present when the ascent was made at l4 4.1e D. m The ballon rose gracefully and suddenly veered as sharp wind i (Continued on Seventh Page

 Delegate to Any
 Convention. ATTITUDE AS TO
 THE PRESIDENCY Governors Declarations Are Greeted with Applause at Dinner of New York
 Republicans.

New York, Oct. 1S--Gov Hughes to- night made a declaration of his atti- tude toward the presidential nomina- ton, when in the course of an address at a dinner given N honor by the Republican club he saids
 T do not seek any public office I have not sought, nor shall seek, d. rectly or indirectly, to influenece the selection of the vote of any delegates to any convention, and with reference to the action of any delegate to any convention there will be no suggestion or thought of influence, protest or re- prisal in the execution chamber" z It was at this same club that MT. Hughes announced his acceptance of the gubernatorial nomination, and his speech tonight was review of his administration, particularly with refer ence to the legislation which had been accomplished for the state control of public service corporations and other important measures with whose crea- ton and support he has been identi- fled. Additional significance was given his speech tonight by reason of the fact that he took occasion to refer to his position In regard to the fusion of the republicans and the Independence league on the New York country tic- ket.
 Governor Hughes declarations were greeted with loud applause by the two who attended the dinner and listened to the speech with much political ex- pectancy The governors pronounce ment that he would not bend to the influence of any one in the selection of delegates to the republican national convention found particular favor with his audience, which signified it's approval by prolonged cheering. This was only one of series of demon- stratlons which began from the mo- ment he entered the banquet hall and continued throughout the evening When the executive was introduced by President Young, Postmaster, at a late hour tonight, the diners rose to their feet and cheered for several min utes. There was another loud out burst of applause at the conclusion of the governors speech

 Guests.

This years exposition will eclipse both of the former shows in the number and excellence of exhibits and in the special attractions offered for the entertainment and education of the patrons.
 Manager F. J. Linsley reports that the entire floor space is practically sold out and but one or two spaces remain available for exhibition purposes. Tie variety of the exhibits of this years show will class the exposition as one of the most complete affairs of the kind ever seen In any city in New England.
 Arrangements have been completed by Chairman Atwater with the local leading bands and orchestra for a most comprehensive and entertaining musl- cal program to be rendered afternoon and evening. Much attention has been paid this year to the preparation of the musical program for each day of the exposition and the result will be two concerts daily which will alone be well worth the price of admission.
 The entertainment committee has also signed one of the most marvellous aerial acts ever seen in this country. It Is an act that has amazed and as- tonished audiences throuehout the United States and has been brought here at large expense. This act will be shown every afternoon and evenL ing.
 Another great feature will be a Jap anese juggling act which has been proclaimed by vaudeville managers one of the greatest attractions ever seen on a vaudeville stage. Tn this act there are man and woman. both of whom have no peers in the art of juggling and other feats of dexter'ty and skill
 < Special arrangements have been made to handle the large number of exposition patrons expected from the Naugatuck Valley, Waterbury Meri- den and other nearby ciIfes. There is remarkable amount of Interest in the exposition in these cities, for 1t will be the biggest and best show of this kind ever held in the state. These eXpositions take in New Haven the in- terest which in other cities is given to country fairs and seem to have be- come fixture in this city.
 Next week the management will make a special announcement which will be of the greatest to all women in this city Watch for it.

 The case of McGee will be taken to the highest possible court and there will be no lack of funds to defend him. Beside the money voted by the Trades Council the local Moulders' union will support McGee as he got into his pres ent trouble while working for them. Then the national union of the mould ere, under whose orders McGee worked will support him up to the highest court.
 McGee was arrested at the complaint of ex-Mayor Frederick B. Farnsworth, head of the McLagon Foundry com pany, which assisted in the prosecution. An official of the local union who was arrested with him on the same charge was released and McGee was fined s1OO and given six months in Jail on each of four counts Notice of an appeal was at once given and bonds were furnish ed for the temporary release of Me- Gee. Since then associated labor un- ions have been preparing to fight the case up to the highest courts, both as a test case and to bring about the re- lease of the national officer.

FIRST FOR NON RESIDENTS

 Pay SfO.25.

City Clerk Street yesterday after noon issued his first licenses for non resident hunters. They went in pair to two students who, after considering the price of S10,25, which they were called upon to pay as on-residents, decided that they would make enough use of their guns to make it worth the price. Although the city clerk has is- sued since the licenses have been re- quired a total of 730 for residents, these are the only ones he has yet given out for non-residents. There has only been one issued here thus far for an alien.

BOMB FOR TAFT
Manila Priest Says Secretary Was
 Near Death.

Manila, P l., Oct. 1S.-lA report has reached the local police from a priest that an attempt was made to throw a bomb at Secretary Taft while he was attending the reception in his honor given at the Jesuit college. A careful investigation of the rumor has failed to disclose any foundation for the statement, however.
 Every precaution was taken by the authorities to prevent any such out rage, the secretary being closely guard- ed by insular as well as by United States secret service men. Besides, it is believed that there are no anarch- ists or men of the class in the islands.

CHURCH APPEALS
FROM BAY ST. LOUIS
ASKS CATHOLICS AND FRIENDS
OF CHURCH TO CONTRIBUTE
TOWARD FUND FOR A
NEW BUILDING,

The Catholics Of Bay st. Louis
Miss. are without place OF wOr
ship large enough for their needs
and an appeal for aid has been sen
out by the Rev. Father Pendergast
pastor of the beautiful it'll,
Lady of the Gulf" church. which
| was destroyed In the recent big FIRE
to the Catholics OF the country. and
the friends Of the church.
A number of Catholics in this sec
ion are in receipt of the following
circular letter. from which 1t Is
hoped to secure funds enough to re-
build the church. The appeal Is
sanctioned by Bishop r. Heslin, Of
Natchez. and is a worthy appeal:
I'VE have just suffered crush
ing loss in our poor parish. The
large church. built in more prosper
GUS times. has been totally destroyed
by fire. Our priests home also has
been burned to the ground. The
amount of insurance on these build
ings Is less than one-fOurth Of their
value. and very far from sufficient
to rebuild them.
This is. indeed, a poor parish,
poor in the goods Of this world and
without help from their friends, It's
people can not have a church large
enough for their needs.
II am constrained. therefore, IN
the pressing necessity caused by this
leplorable disaster to appeal to your
goodness, zeal and generosity to lend
us helping hand. Aid your now
'addened and most unfortunate :
brethren Of Bay st. Louis to rebuild
heir church and priests house. Give
what you can, and be assured that
'ou can we'll spare any sum that you
hus lend to the Lord" Accept,
llso. the assurance in advance Of
'ur profound gratitude and our fer
ent prayers.

i most cordially approve Of this
