BERRY DECLARES HE
WON BALLOON RACE
PILOT OF UNIVERSITY CITY
LAST TO LAND
Air Craft from st. Louis Drops on
Peak of Lookout Mountain After
Over Twenty-six Hours
Voyage

ST. LOUIS, June S.-Conf1dent that
race which began at Indianapolis on
Saturday, John Berry, pilot of the bal
loon University City, arrived home to-
night. accompanied by his aide, P. j.
Mccullough.
The balloon landed on Freestone
peak of Lookout mountain at o'clock
Sunday evening.
Mr.. Berry was in the air 26 hours
and So minutes and he figured that he
had covered 375 miles.
The University City passed over
Chattanooga. Tenn, at $3.50 Sunday
afternoon at an altitude of 10000 feet.
Sunday evening the balloonists could
not find favorable currents to the
south and after they discovered they
were beginning to go northward they
made quick descent.
Mr.. Berry said they could have re-
manned in the air for at least thirty
six hours longer If the wind had been
favorable.
Although many conflicting reports
have been received concerning the
landing of the balloon Indiana, which
entered the race here Saturday, it is
believed the balloon University City
has won.
This balloon originally was reported
to have touched the earth at Blanche,
Tenn, 1926 miles from Indianapolis.
Pilot Berry wired tonight that he had
landed six miles southeast of Fort
Payne, Ala. This is $40 miles from In
dianapolis and if proven to be correct
probably will give the long distance
prize to Berry and Mccullough.
A. Holland Forbes has been credited
with this honor with his New York,
having landed at Corinth, Miss, about
1853 miles from Indianapolis.

IMPERIAL PRESS COUNCIL
DISCUSSES NAVAL PLANS
REGINALD McKenna and Sir Edwin
Gray Agree on Foreign Office
Policies

LONDON, June S.-The second meet
ing of the Imperial Press conference
was held today under the presidency OF
Reginald McKenna, first lord of the ad-
miralty. Foreign Secretary Sir Edwin
Gray also was present, and both minis
tiers spoke on the navy.
IF the navy fails" declared the for
eign secretary, lit will be useless to dis
cuss any other subject"
He called attention to the serious
tone taken by Lord Rosbery in his re-
cent speech to the press men and said
he Endorsed every word of this address.
Continuing, Sir Edward summed up the
policy of the foreign office as follows:
ITO keep what we have got; to con-
solidate and develop; to quarrel as little
as possible with peoples and to uphold
in the councils of the world the ideals
of Great Britain. With so much at
stake the maintenance of the navy
must be the first view, not only for the
home government but for all the self
governing dominions of the empire"
In conclusion, the foreign secretary
said the present excessive expenditures
for ornaments made the political
weather sultry.

Gerry store and market.

which they will open later in Los An
geles and vicinity 1t was also an
