Atlanta, July 19.-(Special)- )-Roy Gallo way, IS years old, of 5S Lindsay street, in Western Heights, was drowned late this evening in the Chattahoochee river near Bolton, while in swimming with a number of companions.
 It seems that Galloway could swim only little bit, and was crossing the river or the back of one of his companions.
 He lost his balance in some way and twice dragged his companion under the water The third time he went down he lost his grip and failed to come to the surface.
 His body had not been recovered late tonight. He worked with his father, Tom Galloway, who is engaged in the con- tracting business.

''CH|CAGO" WINS
 IN BALLOON RACE Colonel Coey's Aerial Vessel
 Goes 73 Miles
KING EDWARD COMES LAST
American Second, United States Third. Winner Was Largest Balloon in the Race, and Landed at
 Blooming Prairie.

St. Paul, Minn.. July 19-The five bal looms which started from St. Paul yes terday in an effort to surpass the world 8 distance and endurance record, have land ed, the Chicago, owned by 0. A. Coey. of Chicago, winning the contest by trav- cling a distance of 73 miles in an air line. The Pommern which was the last to report, landed today at 1O:3O o'clock near Warsaw, Minn.. about 52 miles from St. Paul.
 The Chicago, the largest balloon in the race. owned by c. A. Coey of Chicago, came down at noon today near Bloom ing Prairie, Minn., about s5 miles south of St. Paul. No details of the landing were received here
 Lieut.. J. G. Bennett, pilot of the King Edward, which landed at 7:45 o'clock last night at Hampton, Minn., denied the story telephoned here yesterday that his balloon had caught in telephone wires. A. Leo Stevens, director of the race, in ex- plaining the fault of the aeronauts to sail a greater distance than they accom- plished, said that the lifting power of the gas was not as great as they had counted on and that consequently, the balloons were unable to carry near the amount of ballast necessary for a long flight.
 Capt P. S. Hudson, pilot of the bal loon American, which landed at :15 last evening" six miles south of Owatonna, Minn, 30 miles south of here, returned to St Paul today with his assistant, Horace B. Wild of Chicago.
 Distance in balloon races are measured in a line from starting point to the land ing place and not by the total number of miles travelled.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The Chicago Tribune anticipates trouble. It says
 Rumors of baseball war are beginning to be heard unusually early this year as a result of the American association 8 plans for expansion. There seems little doubt but that the association plans to go on with the scheme to locate club In Chicago during the coming fall and win ter with a view to precipitating base ball war and breaking up the present na- tional agreement, which. it claims, has worked against it's personal interests.
 That such a war will be welcomed by a majority of baseball magnates and will be of great ultimate value to the sport is unquestioned The leaders among the ag- itators are men of comparatively small backing and resources. They have little to lose and everything to gain by base ball upheavals, and, on the other hand, the real powers by sticking together, can make 1t a short and decisive war which will rid the game for all time of these elements of disturbance.
 The reported intention of the St. Louis National league club owners to cast their 
 lot with the American association and be- come "outlaws' means one of two things. Either the Robinsons have reached the end of their rope in St. Louis and hope by desperate means to retrieve their for tunes. on the principle that it is worth risking one dollar to win thousand, or they are standing for the rumor merely for the possible effect 1t may cause them to loosen up and hand the Cardinals 8 few ball players. The latter seems the more likely supposition, as it is not supposed men of any sense would throw away the difference between the value of Ma tional league franchise and one in miner league. which would be what the Robin sons would do if they jumped the big league.
 Jake Stahl, the first-sacker the Bos- ton Americans beat Cleveland to by just 30 minutes, has made quite few changes since he broke into the major league.
 Stahl started at Boston as a catcher, but his success was not very great in that department. After he played part of a season at the Hub he was shifted to Washington by Mat Killiea, then owner of the Boston club. It was a peculiar ar engagement under which Jake went over to the Nationals.
 "Play him at first in 60 games" said Killilea, land if he makes good you can have him for -, naming a certain price.
 The next season Stahl became manager of the Nationals and made worldwide sensation by putting his team at the front and keeping 1t there for weeks, although the club was rated for eighth place..
 In one of the peculiar shuffles that baseball magnates sometimes give their players, Stahl found himself on the White Sox pay roll last winter, and a few weeks later discovered that he belonged to the Yankees.
 There was no chance for Stahl to play first with Hal Chase on the team, and Jake was quite anxious to get away from the Highlander club. Probably more anxious than the Tanks were to get rid of him.-Cleveland Leader.

AUSTRALIANS BABY MELBA.
A Little Girl Of Three Whose Tones
Are Those Of True Soprano.

Winnifred Willes is the name of
diminutive vocalist in Melbourne,
who can fairly be described as a
child wonder. She looks about IN
or 3 years old; probably she is
something more than 3; but she
would pass for that age. without the
authorization of a birth certificate.
Her height is FL inches, weight %
pounds, and her build is that of q
perfectly formed child of small
measurements.
But 1t Is as a singer this little
child Is conspicuous. Her voice is
strong and clear, with phenomenal
notes that carry to the furthermost
sitter of fairly large open air au-
dience at the picture show place in
st. Kilda, known as Paradise -
The tones are those Of a true 80
prano with certain baby sweet
ness that Is enhanced by the lisping
articulation and the mispronuncia-
ton of some Of the words. as can be
easily understood when one remem
bers her years. In her singing OF
Scenes That Are Brightest" "Let
Me Like Soldier Fall" "Geod-by,
My Lady Love" and other numbers
Of similar class she does not pro-
duce weak or false note, nor does
she fall in tempo or expression, ev-
cry sentiment being given its pro-
per value.
It is almost weird to hear sc
much voice from SO small body
and certainly wonderful to see such

from the time the mincing little
footsteps come forward until the
| phenomenal child bows itself back
| to It's mother arms at the head OF

The Roosevelt dam will eclipse

II will contain 100000 cubic yards

times as much as the Shoshone dam.
It's height will be $50 feet from

built in the form of an arch. this

sufficient to secure stability.
