ARMY TO ASK FOR
BALLOON MONEY
Want Million Dollars To Study
Esronautics.
TO ERECT TWO BALLOON STATIONS.
II Cash Is Secured General Allen Will
Erect Two Airship Stations on At
lantic Coast--lnterest in the Experi-
ments at Fort Myer Lend Impetus
to Dirigible Study.

Washington, ID. c. Especially .--En-
couragcd by the general interest
manifested in the coming Fort Myer
balloon tests and prompted by the
advancement of other nations in
aeronautics. Brigadier General James
Allen, chief signal officer, and the
board of ordinance and fertilization
of the War Department will recon-
mend the appropriation by Congress
next winter of $1,000,000 for aero
nautics.
With this money General Allen
proposes TO erect two balloon sta
tions on the Atlantic Coast, at New
York and Fort Monroe, Va, and to
purchase two balloons of the type
of the Republique. the immense diri-
gible built by the French government
to replace to La Patrie, which was
lost at Verdun, France last winter
A balloon of this size would cost
about 100000. General Allen is of
the opinion that two of these ships at
each balloon station would be of
great service in warding off an at
tack by warships.
For the past year or more Gen
eral Allen has been engrossed with
the study of aerial navigation and
its possibilities in the army.
The Generals desk is covered with
extracts for foreign and American
publications bearing on the progress
in aeronautics. The assistant chief
signal officer is Lieut.. Il. p Lahm
winner of the Gordon Bennett in
ternational balloon race of 1906.
A large steel balloon-house is
nearing completion at Fort Omaha,
Neb., under the direction of Capt
c. Def. Chandler, of the Signal
Corps. A gas generating plant is
being built in connection with the
balloon-house, and the electricity for
supplying power for the plant will
be purchased from the electric light
ing plant at Omaha. This will be
the first modern hydrogen gas plant
to be built for the Army, the pres
ent plant at Fort Myer Va, being
temporary and inadequate.
When the plant at Omaha is COM
pleted officers studying at the serv-
ice schools at Fort Leayenworth,
Kan, will be instructed in practical
aeronautics.
Last winter the Signal Corps ask
ed for an appropriation from Con-
gress of 100000 for balloons, and
bill was introduced by Senator
Burkett to place the Signal Corps
on an equal footing with the artil-
lery and cavalry branches of the
Army. Both these measures had the
support of President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft.

THE GOVERNESS WAS
LURED TO HER DEATH
Mystery Over Pretty Girl Found
Dead in Pond.

Troy, n. Y. Especially Develop
ments in the tragedy of Teal Pond,
into whose swampy shadows the
body Of pretty 19-year-old Hazel
Drew was flung after she had been
mysteriously murdered, showed con
clusively that she was lured to her
death.
The authorities, investigating the
crime, have unearthed certain facts
which they declare lead to no other
possibility than that the girl was
persuaded to start for the home of
her uncle, who lives not far from
where she was found dead, on a pre-
text to get her in that lonely part of
Rensselaer, County.
1t is now declared that the assas-
sin or assassins Of the pretty young
woman are known and according to
District Attorney Jarvis p. O'Brien,
arrests will be made soon.
Died Defending Her Honor.
Developments in this, the most
tragic and most pitiful murder in the
history of Rensselaer, County, have
come so swiftly as almost 10 surprise
the men who "a hours ago were with
ont clue to the slayer. The the
ory that murder will out finds in this
tragedy a vindication. Clever selec-
ton of a lonely spot for the CON
cealment of the body and efforts to
convey the impression that the girl
jumped into the lonely pond TO end
her life proved battling only for a
time. But the murderer's subsequent
demeanor-the guilty conscience Off
setting the precautions against de-
tection-have resulted in the weav-
ing of a web so closely about the
suspected man that but few strands
are needed until the net is drawn.
Marks about Hazel Drew's body
indicate clearly that she died while
making a brave struggle to defend
her honor. A string tied about her
neck indicates that the murderer and
his accomplice fearing the blow on
the back of the head had not been
sufficient to end her life and forever
seal her lips, made sure, doubly sure,
by strangling her The casting of
the body into the water was as
much an added further precaution
against her living to disclose the
identity of the fiends who attacked
her as it was to hide the evidences
of crime.

MOSQUITOES KILL CATTLE.
Clouds OF Insects Drain Animals In
Texas OF Their Blood.

High Island, Tex. Especially. -
Mosquitoes are killing cattle by the
score up in the ranches around High
Island, The pest is the worst ever
known in this part of the Gulf Coast
region. Great clouds of the insects
cover the pastures where the cattle
are feeding. They literally drain the
animals of all their blood, causing
them to die from weakness.
One ranchman in Chambers Coun-
ty has lost 200 head of cattle from
mosquito bites during the last 10
days. Some of the pastures are
strewn with the carcasses of the dead
cattle. Smudge fires are kept burn
ing day and night to keep the pests
out of the homes of the people.
