BUFFALO, Aug. 3l.-After a 500
mile flight, We landed, without instru-
ments. food, water and ballast at IL
a. m. Sunday, in Lake Erie, 20 miles
from land Everything had been
thrown away for ballast We were
forced up in the battoUn net. The
steamer Mohegan, Capt James EN-.
mingham rescued us.
In making the rescue, boatman Ed
Donnelly, while lowering the yawl,
was hurled into the water and mar
rowly missed being ground to pieces
by the propeller He caught a tow
rope and was dragged half nile be-
fore he was rescued.
Efforts OF the boatmen were cen
tered on us. Heavy waters made the
rescue dangerous.
We struck Lake Erie Saturday night.
at IL o'clock and were forced u travel
over it, Our course from Columbus
land and Detroit. We were unable
TO pull the valve TO avoid crossing the
lake. The stuhbornness OF the valve
caused us to attain height of 10000
feet for more than two hours, Sunday
morning We could scarcely breathe
and were nearly frozen. Both the
lieutenant and became drowsy. The
gas expanding with the rising sun
caused the rise. Cool air currents
contracted 1t SO quickly that we drop
ped 10000 feet in four minutes. The
balloon struck the water and We were
forced into the netting. We were
just getting ready to throw our clothes
overheard, when we sighted the steam
er. We spent nine hours circling like
hen and chicken island" in the
lake before the balloon began 20 fall.
Balloon rescued and all arrived az
Buffalo safe at IL noon, Monday.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3l.-The big
gambling element in the membership
OF the stock exchange is making fran
tic efforts to prevent further probing
into the abuses that led to the failure
of A. o. Brown & Co. Members Of
the exchange are trembling lest the
revelations OF open manipulation,
whereby firm of brokers tried to
break prices and close out small in
vestors, shall result In an investiga-
ton by the Legislature as drastic as
that which caused the revelations OF
crookedness in the management OF
the life insurance companies.
They fear that the general public
will become too well acquainted with
the fact that the institution is pri.
vate managed concern: that It Is not
incorporated and that. although T.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Aug. ST.
Chas. b. Roberts. Jr., the Baltimore
clubman, who was shot last Wednes-
day night, while riding In roller
chair with Mrs. w. S. G. Williams.
also Of Baltimore. whose husband was
formerly one Of Roberts closest
friends, is dying today, in the Atlantic
City hospital.
Efforts were made late last night
to get an ante-mortem statement, but
his condition Is such that the physi-
clans Will not allow him TO be ques-
toned, and II is more than likely that
Roberts will die without making a
statement
Efforts of the police and coroner
and influential persons to keep all
facts leading up to the shooting OF
Roberts a secret and TO make 1t APP
pear he was a victim OF a highway
man. have failed miserably In fact,
only yesterday, the police and other
state authorities we're inclined to let
the matter drop. In this II was said
they had the approval and moral"
backing of the police OF Baltimore,
who are inclined to keep covered any
scandals In the exclusive circles of
Maryland metropolis that may be dug
up in getting at the truth OF the shoot
ing of Roberts.
Authorities Misrepresent Facts.
The physicians here have contend
ed all along that Roberts injury was
not necessarily mortal and, with the
attendants at the hospital, have de-
clared that Roberts liver was only
slightly punctured by the bullet. II
now develops that the liver was rip
ped almost In half. the bullet penetrat.
ing Roberts body and lodging In the
muscles Of the back.
That there is almost no chance for
Roberts TO survive WAS admitted to-
day. by DR.. Darnell who is In charge of
the case. 1t Is declared that Roberts
has been kept alive this long by his
wonderful vitality alone. Roberts rel
atives were informed last night that
his death was only a matter of few
hours-a day or two at most. AT an
early hour this morning, he was grow
ing weaker. Mr.. Roberts Is not at
the Hotel Brighton, where Mrs. Will
Jams has been stopping as has been
reported. but Is in the hospital where
her husband is lying. Her hospital
suite adjoins that Of her husband, and
she has conversed with him on sew
eral occasions.
Whatever the reasons behind the
shooting of Roberts. Mrs. Roberts
love for him has not been cooled In
the least The excitement OF the trip
from New Hampshire, where she was
when she learned of the shooting and
the anxiety that has followed has uu'
nerved her completely and she ts un-
der the care of hospital physicians.
