an Australian ~aeronaut, who against
the orders of Morrell climbed onto
the rigging just as the ship lifted

All of these persons were injured
and their sea from death was al
most miraculous.
Rising slowly under the power from
five gasoline engines, the great air
ship lifted TO a height of probably 300
feet. Suddenly there was a ripping.
roaring sound and the forward end OF
the airship tilted downward.
Crowd Is Panic-stricken.
The great aerial craft began to set
tie slowly to the ground. The Occu-
pants of the airship hung desperately
to the rigging, while the crowd Of TO-
600 persons were panic-stricken be-
fore what appeared to be impending
disaster to the sixteen men. As the
airship settled toward the ground sew
eral of the men leaped and were seri-
ously injured. Others stayed with
the craft until it reached the ground,
and they. too, were injured by tbs
heavy engines and the superstructuTe
of the airship.

Boston, May "a. - A bill in equity
to restrain the New York, New Ha-
e & Hartford Railroad company
from exercising any control over the
Boston & Maine railroad and to sepa-
rate the New Haven road from the
various trolley lines it has acquired,
was filed in the United States circuit
court here yesterday by United
States District Attorney Asa P.
French. acting for the federal gov
eminent.
The bin in equity was brought I'M
der the Sherman act of 1890, and
charges that the New Haven road &C
quired numerous trolley lines and is
attempting to control the Boston &
Maine railroad in restraint of trade.
Would Become Monopoly.
The petition claims that if the New
Haven road is not restrained from
holding the trolley lines and voting
stock of the Boston & Maine road
a situation will be created with re-
spect to the transportation instru-
mentalities and facilities of New Eng
land which will eventually enable the
New Haven company to control for all
time the interstate transportation not
only among the New England states,
but between such states and the sew
eral other states Of the Union.
The defendants in the bill are the
New Haven company, She Boston &
Maine Railroad company, the Consol-
idated Railway company and the
Providence Securities company.
