TRAVELS BY AIRSHlP
FARMAN FLIES BETWEEN TWO
CITIES IN FRANCE.
Goes Twenty Miles, Over Houses and
Trees, Making Trip in About
Twenty Minutes.

MOURMELON, France, Oct. 81
Henry Farman yesterday, for the first
time gave n practical demonstration of
the possibilities of the areoplane by fly
ing direct from this place to Rheims, a
distance of twenty miles, without mis-
hap.
The aeroplanist assembled at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon and after circing the
field once, turned his machine in the di-
rection of Rheims. Soaring over the tops
of the trees the aeroplane rapidly disap-
peared from the view of the spectators.
An hour later a telegram was received
from Farman announcing his safe arrival
at Rheims. He said that he would stop
there for the night and intended to re-
turn TO Mourmelon tomorrow by areo-
plane.
The time of flight was twenty minutes
and the greatest height reached was be-
tween l2O and $50 feer. The course was
literally as the crow flies, over trees,
fields and streams.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 81
Something new in aeronautics was at
tempted here yesterday, when a monster
balloon with a capacity of 10000 cubic
feet Of gas, shot up into the air with an
automobile in the place where basket
usually is suspended. The ascension was
made at p. m. in the north part Of the
city. the balloon carrying Carl G. Fisher
of Indianapolis and G.. l.. Bumbaugh of
Springfield. Ill.
The idea of the aeronauts in using an
automobile instead of The basket was
to be able Immediately TO roll up the bal
LOOM load it in the automobile and re-
turn to the place of starting or other des-
tination.
The automobile used was a new "a
horsepower, four cylinder touring ear,
and when stripped of all unnecessary
equipment, weighed 1900 pounds.
The balloon descended near Southport,
Ind, seven miles from Indianapolis, ut
G:10 p. m, after being in the air two
hours and ten minutes The automobile
was freed from the balloon and Bum
baugh and Fisher came to indianapolis
in it.

to save their own lives
Mrs. Hams. in her statement pub

they are to be tried is To be drawn

MORSE GAINS A POINT,
Against New York Bankers Is
Thrown Out of Court

NEW YORK, Nov, One Of the
most important allegations in connection
with charge of misrepresentation con.
tanned in the indictment against Charles
w Morse and 4. II. Curtis, was thrown
Dut of court soon after the trial WAS re-
sumed i'll the United States court today.
The incorporation allegation was
made in connection with u 100000 note
given by Calvin Austin Austin claimed
Morse had the note discounted and used
the proceeds without his consent. 1t is
understood that the charge was thrown
out on the ground that the National
Bank of North America was not in any
way damaged by the transaction.
The defense commended that the Ma
tional Bank OF North America had sur
fered no damage as result of tn" trans
action, and this view apparently was
taken by Judge Hough This charge
was regarded as the most important in
the governments allegation Of misappro-
priaton against the prisoners.

the expedition against the Barbray pi-
rates the war of 1872, and other facts
that the grandfathers of the present
generation have not remembered since
their school days. Capt. Diamond en-
braced the vegetarian diet in the spring

WOMEN CAUSE OF
ARMY SCANDALS.
"Fool Wife, Makes Trouble-Cannot
Be Controlled by Officers.

CINCINNATI. O.. Oct. 31.--"One
fool woman can make more trouble in
an army post than all the officers and
men," said Gen. II. c. Corbin, former
adjutant general, L. S. A., discussing
the Hams murder case.
Gen. Corbin had been asked at the
Scinton hotel his opinion of the sensa-
tional tales of the orgies at Fort Hamil-
ton as told in the alleged letters of Mrs
Hams to her husband.
But Mrs Hams says the letters are
forgeries, was the quick reply.
such things as described as occur
ring in Fort Hamilton never were in my
time in the army and | left it only Il
year and Il half ago said the general.
1T seems incredible that such things
could have happened, particularly at
Fort Hamilton. right under the eye of
the inspector general; right under the
shade of department headquarters, right
under the nose of the municipal police.
But one fool woman can make more
trouble in the army post than all the
officers and men. We can control the
latter, but we cannot control the women.
There We're several such cases in my
time and we had to get rid of the otii-
GERS i'll order to get rid of the women.
Il had one such case out in the Phil
ippines, and | had to pursue the only
course open to me. 1t is my wife's
fault said the officer when before me.
"'No doubt | replied. but we can't
control her and YOU can't control her,
but we can control YOU
He resigned.
This Hams ease IS distressing. | I'M
derstand the marriage was unhappy all
the way through. But those letters,
they don't seem as letters natural for a
wife to write to her husband They look
more like letters manufactured for the
purpose of creating sympathy and per-
haps furnishing a possible incentive for
