does not believe much in the ability
OF balloons to drop bombs to any
effect
In speaking of using balloons for
dropping bombs the doctor character
lied it as "poppycock," and said it
was impossible to drop a bomb, with
accuracy, as anything thrown from a
balloon took up the momentum of
the balloon and would travel far
from the mark To drop bombs sue
cessfully, he said, one would have
to be in a balloon that could be made
to stand perfectly still in the air.

In the present development of the
airship it is nothing more than fable
Captain Lovelace said, to believe that
Japan could land forces on the Paci-

with a fleet of airships equipped
with bombs, a transport fleet could be
wiped out. As fast as a vessel loaded
with troops came within radius of one
OF the airships bombs could be drop

Instantly destroyed
But we must have the airships.
Our trip of Saturday showed that
forts are obsolete. Fort Wadsworth
was absolutely at our mercy. There
was nothing to have prevented us
from dropping quantities of dynamite
on the fort and blowing the artillery
and men to pieces"
Capt. Lovelace will lay his plans
before the navy department.

The directors then began a thorough

other things, that Cow, Maxwell, and
Campbell had obtained from the
bank about $450,0
In addition there were some pecu-

DEPOSITORS CHEER
WORD INDICTMENT
Manipulation of Suspended
Brooklyn Bank.

NEW YORK, Nov. (SpeciaD-
Charges against Howell Maxwell, eX-
president of the suspended Borough
Bank of Brooklyn, Arthur D. CAMPBELL,
the cashier, and William Cow, direc-
tor and the largest stakeholder, were
taken up for the first time in the eX-
animation by the Kings County Grand
Jury into the causes leading up to
the closing of the institution
All three of these men have al
ready admitted to directors of the
bank that they used funds and paper
improperly and virtually every cents
worth of property owned by the three
has been taken over to make good
the loans which were not properly
secured when made.
While the Grand Jury was delving
into the matter of criminality in the
acts that had made the bank too
weak to withstand the pressure of the
recent crisis, more than 200 deposit
ors held one of the most remarkable
meetings ever held in Brooklyn, and
cheered enthusiastically when it was
mentioned that the men blamed for
all their present troubles might be
indicted

Tndietment" Pleasing Word

There also was unanimity during
The debate whenever the word indict-
ment" was mentioned. Each time this
word was a signal for loud APP
plause.
The fact that there had been any
wr0ngdoing in the Borough Bank
was discovered by the directors on
October "a, when representatives of
Manhattan Bank laid before the di-
rectors a demand note for $250,000
signed The Borough Bank, per H.
Maxwell, president" They prefaced
this by asking additional security.
This was refused on the ground that
the note never went through the
banks books. Then the investigation
by the directors began, and Maxwell
and his associates were forced out
Aid could not be obtained, and the
bank closed.
The directors met the next after
noon. repudiated the $250,000 note and
demanded that Maxwell and Cow re-
lease the bank from any liability at
once. This was promised for the
next day.

If this ballooning fad keeps on
Increasing every day,
4 The sky will soon be full of cars,
Each in the others way,
And it will be as dangerous
To take an evening sail
AS now it is to walk abroad
Along the autos trail.
When lovers loaf along the sky
And sit and softly spoon
Far from the madding, jeering crowd
Up in their new balloon,
Some rubberneck will come along
And as he nears them say:
"Ah, there! saw you holding hands!
It's time to break away
And when the father bitches up
His family flying cart
And loads in all the little ones
And cuts the rope to start
The pleasures of the lofty ride
Will hardly be cinch,
For scorchers will come swoopine
down
And miss them by an inch.
And all the people up in Mars
And Mister in the moon
Will think they see a rival in
Some large and gay balloon.
If this ballooning fad keeps up.
The fellows who are worth
The price of one inflated bag
Will all get off the earth.
