Britaah Government Trying Co Get Pos.. session of the Man.
 New York. Feb. 19.-The commitment of Robert Caldwell to State insane asylum, while he was under ball to appear before United States Commits sioner Alexander to answer charge of perjury, brought against him ky the British Government. was the subject of some sharp questions by the Commits sioner when the case came up before him today.
 Caldwell was the witness in tho fa- nous Druce-Duke of Portland case. who testified that he knew Druce as the Duke of Portland. His counsel, ". c. CobeIl. informed Commissioner Alexander today that his client was committed to an asylum by order of q justice of the New York Supreme Court. The Commissioner and counsel for the British Government said that they were not informed that Caldwell was to be placed in an asylum and that Caldwelps previous failure to appear before the Commissioner to answer the charge of perjury was attributed to physical dis. ability only. Mir. Cobell said he con- suited Judge Hough of the United States District Court before committing Caldwell. and that he was not at first aware that Caldwell was insane.
 Did you not come to me and ask about the Federal procedure for com mitting an insane person before Cald- we'll landed in this countryT' asked the Commissioner,
 "You must have had this matter lD view before he landed. Never again VII a man arraigned before me for extradition be admitted to ball"
 Counsel for the British Government was askeed what action his client would take to get possession of Cald. well, but replied that he would need an adjournment of two weeks to ascer- tain the wishes of Great Britain.
 The hearing was postponed until March {.

That held them for a little while,
! and then they asked me who l was,

I was the only original "Peck's Bad
Boy" they said that from their recol.
lection OF my tricks on my father they
could readily see how a fatality might
be a blessing. and they seemed re-
lieved Of any responsibility, and we
went to work to get things in the
basket, and they instructed me what
l was to do.
The basket was about nine feet
square. and it had more things In 1t
than delicatessen store.
At about ten o'clock in the morning,
with thousands Of people watching the
balloons. they began to cut loose and
go shooting into the air. and 1t was
race.
The man told me that the balloon
that went farthest from st. Louis be-
fore being compelled to land would
get the prize. and began to feel anx
ious to have our balloon win.
| l watched those that started FIRST.
and they went up 30 far I could only
see little specks in the sky, and
thought of balloons had seen go up
on fair grounds. where girl sat on
trapeze bar. and jumped of. and q
parachute opened and took her safely
to the ground. and looked around our
balloon for parachute. but there was
none, and | wondered what would hap
pen II the balloon came down, with
its gas all escaped like the fair ground
balloon, and there Is where came the
nearest to weakening and climbing
out, but thought II did | would be
a coward like my chum. and then l
thought II those two grown men. with
families depending on them for sup.
port, were going up. they were not
doing 1t for any suicidal purpose, and
could go II they could. and when the
boss man said Now. Bub. II you
want to stay ashore. this Is your last
chance" l said: Your little Hennery
is ready to go where you go. and you
|
suit me-" and he patted me on the
head and said: 'Hennery. you sure
are game" and then all was ready and
he said to them to let 30. My heart
went up and rubbed against my palate,
and the balloon made n jump like a
horse going over n Ave foot fence, ad.
vcrtising a brand Of whisky, and we
shot up into the air. the people yell
ing. and ! saw my chum sitting on q
dray, driving mule. and I thought
OF the difference between a brave boy
and mucker like my chum, the
houses began to look smaller. until
st. Louis looked like play houses. with
n ribbon of gray on the side OF II,
which was the river.
The boss looked at machine and
said We were five miles high. md l
thought how ] had always enjoyed
high life. and was trying to get my
heart swallowed down where II be-
longed.
The balloon basket was az steady
as n house. and ! got up and looked
over the side OF the basket, and Il
seemed awful. cause had never been
