SKY CARNIVAL is ENDED
GERMANS WIN CUP AND BALLOON
RACES CLOSE.
Next Contest to Be Held in Germany
Army Interested in
Result.

st. Louis, Mo, Oct. 25.-The inter
national cup contest, won by the Ger
man balloon Pommern, and the dirigi-
Bile balloon races are ended and the
aeronauts and Aero club officials, who
have made st. Louis their head quar-
tiers for the past 10 days or more,
left for home Thursday. They de-
clared the races have given an i'm
petus to aerial activity. Officers of the
st. Louis Aero club received many tel
egrams Of congratulation over the sue
cess OF aeronautic week, and it is said
that the interest aroused here in bal
looming will result in other contests in
the near future.
There seems little doubt that a de-
termined effort will be made next year
by American aeronauts to regain pos
session 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 America,
which finished fifth, is the only bag
OF American construction, the other
two having been made abroad It's
performance was watched with keen
interest and was satisfactory in every
particular.
Brig Gen. James Allen, chief officer
OF the signal corps of the United
States army, who witnessed the as
cents, was impressed by the perform
ance of some of the airships and de-
clared before leaving for Omaha that
ne would recommend in his next re-
port to the secretary of war that sew
eral balloons of the dirigible type be
bought or constructed for government

British Methodist Reunion.
Three Methodist denominations in
England, known as the Methodist New
Connection. the Bible Christians and
the United Methodist Free church have
now merged their separate lives in one
organism. to be known as the United
Methodist church. The uniting con.
ference took place in John Wcslcy's
chapel in London and was attended 10y
700 delegates. The controversies which
caused this division have long passed
into history. and the only differences
which marked them in recent years
have been those of polity and not of
doctrine. The act of union was at
tanned unanimously, being the outcome
of many years of patient effort on the
part of those favoring the plan.

Down at Vancouver.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 25.-The
Canadian Pacific Railway company's
crack oriental liner, Empress of China,
sank Wednesday evening alongside
her dock in this port. Her seacocks
must have been opened, but how no
one seems able to ascertain.
Her main deck on the port side is
awash with several feet of water. She
sank and keeled over on her port side
so that the main deck is now at an
angle of about as degrees. Her en-
gines and dynamos are under water
She is resting on a mud bottom, but
the problem of saving her will be that
of righting the vessel and preventing
her from completely turning turtle.

CHICAGO, January 4.-The coroner's in
quest into the manner of the deaths of. five
members Of the VZral family, in connection
with which Herman Belek fortune teller,

daughter of Martin Vzral and a sister of

have been poisoned. Mrs. Nieman declared
her father and her sisters all displayed the
same symptoms before they died, and said
that previous to the illness that caused
their deaths none of them had ever been i'll

THEPROBE WITHDRA W N
INQUIRY INTO HEARST'S ELEC-
TON EXPENSES CALLED OFF.

ALBANY, January 4.-Attorney General
W. s. Jackson last night gave out a letter
which he sent to Gherardi Davis of New
York, revoking the designation of that gen.
tleman made by Attorney General Mayer
on December D, just before the close of
Mr.. Mayors term, as the representative of
the attorney generals department in the
proceeding instituted in the supreme court
in New York by the association to prevent
corrupt practices at elections for an order
requiring William r. Hearst to correct GER
tain alleged discrepancies in his statement
of election expenses filed with the secretary
of state under the corrupt practices act.
The letter directs Mr.. Davis to return to
the attorney general any papers he may
have relating to the case, with information
as to the status of the proceeding.
1.-The reason for this action is says the
attorney general in his letter, that all of
the work to be done by the attorney gen.
eral his representative in this proceed
ing will be under my adminstra ton. deem
it proper that the person representing the
attorney general should be of my designa-
ton"
THE designation of Mr. Davis was re-
voked,'' the attorney general said last night
because l decided that the Investigation
into election receipts and expenditures dur
Ing the last campaign should be broader in
in its scope than the Association to Prevent
Corrupt Practices at Elections apparently
contemplated when it singled out Mr.
Hearsts statement of election expenses as
the only matter to be prebed. So long as
an investigation of alleged violations of the
corrupt practices act is to be undertaken at
all by this department 1t should he compre-
hensve and general. and not partisan or
personal.
1.-The campaign last November was the
first conducted since the corrupt practices
act went into effect. 1t strikes me that a
sweeping investigation now into the ques-
ton as to whether it's provisions were OBJ
served might have a wholesome effect. That
is the kind of an investigation shall make
Under these circumstances the attorney
who represents this department in the mat
ter should be of my selection
