HoBSoN STATEMENT DENIED

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July lO-Secre-
tary Loeb this evening called the presi-
dents attention to Congressman Hob
sons speech, in which Mr., Hobson mad
said:
II want TO say to you that not so very

States said in my presence There exists
the greatest probability of a war with
Japan" -.
When Secretary Loeb returned to the
executive offices tonight the following
official statement was issued:
In reference to the speech of Con-
gresham Hobson, the congressman must,
OF course, have been misquoted. The presi-
dent not only never made such a re-
mark, but never made any remark even
remotely resembling 1t. All that the
president has ever said is that If there
was a sufficient navy there would never
be any possibility of this country get
ting into a foreign war
Secretary Loeb also said that the Serb

the rights for the serial and book form
publication of whatever the president
might write Of his experiences on his

THAW HOME GOING TO RUIN

the last few days even the caretakers
have been Withdrawn. Curiosity seekers
are not driven away, as they formerly
ware, but may enter the grounds.
Mrs. William Thaw abandoned the man
sion soon after the killing of Stanford
White by her son Harry, and has not been
in its since. Everywhere about the house
are indications Of the hurried departure Of
its inmates. Chairs are overturned, dishes
still remain on the tables in the kitchen
and the pictures are accommodating a cover
ing of dust. The formerly well-trimmcd
hedges are six feet high, and weeds grow
all over what was once the best kept
lawn in the city Of P%ittsburg.
One of Alice Thaw's chief delights be-
fore she married tho earl Of Yarmouth was
her dogs. The kennels are empty now. and
the doves which belonged to Harry Thaw
have been diven away by the wild birds.
William Thaw never occupied L~yndhurst
When it was completed he preferred to
spend most Of his time in his old home
down town while the family lived in the
newly built place.
When Mrs. Thaw Is In Pittsburg she
lives I'm her new and modest little home,
and has told her friends that she will
never enter Lyndhurst again.

BIG AIRSHIP HAS ARRIVED
II VIII BE Set Up at Krug Park
To-day, Filled Saturday and Sent
UD sunday Evening.

Mr.. James Moore's big airship America"
arrived last evening over the Chicago, NIL
waukee & ST. Paul railroad from Daven-
port, and is contracted to make a number
of ascensions at Krug park, the first of
which, weather and gas filling conditions
being favorable. will occur on Sunday, be-
tween the hours of 8 and s p. M.
This airship is the one that was nearly
destroyed at Nashville. Tenn, on January
2s, last, in a somewhat sensational manner.
While preparing to make an ascension in
Nashville, a man entirely unknown to Mr..
Moore entered the big tent containing the
airship, and he soon showed that he was
in q quarrelsome mood, whereupon Mr..
Moore promptly elected him from the tent.
1t afterward transpired that the man was
one of the most dangerous outlaws in the
state of Tennessee, having previously
killed two men. He returned to the tent
soon afterward with two companions, all
armed with pistols and shotguns, and they
poured a fusillade of shot and bullets into
the mammoth silk bag used In floating the
airship. This was completely destroyed.
One month ago the culprit was killed while
resisting arrest
The airship consists of an enveloper gas
bag, made of 500 yards of Chinese silk,
treated with a preparation to make It air
tight. This bag is fifty-eiGht feet long
and seventeen and one-hs,f feet in diams-
ter. 1t weighs ninety pounds, and con-
tains 1000 cubic feet of gas. The bag is
incased in a netting made of linen Irvine,
with four-inch mesh, which is attached to
the frame that carries the engine and pro-
pelling machinery.
The engine is twenty horsepower, espe-
cially built for airships, and weighs only
lN pounds. The frame is made Of Norway
spruce, triangular, is forty-two feet long
and weighs forty pounds. The propeller
is on the front of the ship, there being
two blades six feet long, one foot and
eight inches broad. The rudder Is 6Xp.
made of bamboo and silk, and weighs
eight pounds.
Mr.. Moore and his associates will set
up the airship today in Krug park. and
wi. fill the gas bag tomorrow and Satur-
day, making all preparations for the as
cension Sunday evening.
