Rockville, Conn, Nov. 1.-THE bal
loon Plttsfield i'll the Heart of the
Berkshires." which made an ascension
from Pittsfeld at 2.55 today, landed
here at 3.55. William Van Sleet of the
Plttsfield Aero Club was the pilot and
was accompanied by a Mr. Mitchell of
minneapolis. Much difficulty was cx-
perienced in making a landing, the
balloon finally settling down in the
yard of Christian Numaker, after a
flight of 20 miles
Mr.. Van Sleet said that the ascan-
sion was made in a heavy wind and
they arose to a height of II 900 feet
which they kept until shortly before
they reached here. This is believed to
be the highest altitude reached by a
balloon The balloon then for some
reason began to fall rapidly and an
attempt was made to land in an OMEN
lot, but the anchor rope broke and the
balloon drifted into the heart of the
city, tearing down the electric and fire
alarm wires and shrubbery in the sub
urbs, where the landing was finally
made.
The balloon was taken in charge by
the chief OF police, who locked it UP.
1t, will be held pending the settlement
Of the damage done to the city's prop
erty. Mr.. Van Sleet was allowed to
go to his home in Pittsfield. The 20
miles an hour achieved by the balloon
rivals the records made by the highest

Detective Wants $4,000 for Services

New York, Nov 1.-THE Dodse-Morse

in the supreme court when Justice Nc
~all directed Edward M. Bracken, pri-
yate detective, to furnish bill OF partic-

Bracken says he acted as private de-

March, 1908, and that the services he
rendered were. both peculiar" and per
Sonal"
Morse admits that he did owe BracHen
10000, which he paid, and he says that

insists that the original contract called

In its various steps, the main cues
tlon at issue has been somewhat lost
to sight. Briefly. the history of the
case, up to the present time is as
follows '
On May % last, the United States
district attorney, Asa P. French, filed
! a bill in equity in behalf Of the gov
ernment. against the New York, New
Haven & Hartford and the Boston &
Maine Railroads, and several street
railway companies subsidiary to the
New Haven road. This bill in equity
SOUGHT to dispossess the New York.
New Haven & Hartford Of the stock
i then held in the Boston & Maine.
and also of its street railway hold
ings, on the ground that such holdings
We're violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law. The bill alleged that such
acquisitions of stock of the subsidiary
companies placed them in the position
ol combining for the purpose of COM
peting against themselves in system
OF tranSportationS. The bill also held
that the ACQUISITION of the Boston &.
Maine stock was unlawful for a SINH
lar reason.
Since the bill in equity was first
brought. the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad has sold it's hold
lngS of Boston & Maine stock, about
10000 shares in all, to John L. Billiard
OF Meriden. Conn.
Later the several defendants filed a
demurrer to the bill in equity, the de.
murror claiming that what had done
was not a violation of the Sherman
law. The demurrer also pointed out
that as result of the acquisitions
OF street railway holdings. to which
the government objected, better trans
portation facilities had been afforded
the public. that fares had been re-
duced, and that the public at large
mad been benefited by such policy
The next step came a little later.
when the attorney general of the Unit
ed States, under special provision of
Congress. asked that the case be set
down for hearing before three judges
of the United States circuit court.
Following this. counsel for the defend
ants filed on an objection to the case
beng heard by three judges of the
circuit court on the ground of uncon-
stitutlonality. and it is on this last
phase of the case that the arguments
at today's hearing were to be devot-
