SEEKS DISTANCE RECORD
In A FREE BALLOON.

KANSAS CITY, July 51.-in an ct
tempt to surpass the record flight OF
1,205 miles in a free balloon now held
by France, Lieutenant James E. Ware,
of the signal corps of the United States
army Charles J. Glidden and Professor
H. H. Clayton will undertake to fly
from Fort Omaha, Neb.. to Boston
early in October.
1--WE will make this fight from Fort
Omaha because the only hydrogen gas
factory in the United States is located
there" Lieutenant Ware said today.
'|The reason that France now holds the
record is because the French aeronauts
use hydrogen gas exclusively, while the
Americans have been using ordinary
coal gas. Hydrogen gas will lift sew
enty pounds for each 1000 cubic feet.
while the same amount of coal gas
will only lift from thirty to forty
pounds The balloon which we will use
will hold $4,000 cubic feet of gas and
we will carry more than one ton Of
sand to be used as ballast"

THINK HUNDREDS
DIED IN QUAKE
The Americans, Fearing Other
Shocks, Fled Hotels and Spent
Night in the Parks.

Ell PAso, Tex, July 31-It is
known that hundreds of lives were lost
in the earthquake which shook the en-
tire southern part of the Mexican re-
public yesterday. In Acapulco alone
the death list will total several hun
dred If all reports from there are true.
The excitement is so great that it is
impossible to get details of the number
dead, bu. tidal wave also swept in
on part of the city at the same time
as the earthquake. This wave did more
damage than the quake. for it swept
the bamboo houses that line the shore
from their foundations and carried
many of the inhabitants, mostly women
and children, to their death IN the
water.
The city is right on the bay. The
more substantial houses are built back
on cliff, and the smaller houses run
down to the waterfront. There is a
prison IN the bay on an island, and this
is reported inundated.
The city of Acapulco is off the rail-
road and has only one telegraph wire,
a Federal line. which is now down.
Fire started. it is learned, in a part
OF the town following the earthquake.
Whether it was checked is unknown.
This is the second catastrophe in

PORT OF NEWARK
HAS BEST YEAR
IN ITS HISTORY
Surpasses All Records Since
1894 in Value of Mer-
chandise.
REPORT OF COLLECTOR
SHOWS BIG ADVANCE
This City Now Ranks Twenty
fourth Among Ports of
Country.

No better proof that Newark is reap-
ing its share of prosperity and increase
of business is needed than that fur
nished i'll reports of Collector of Gus
toms George l.. Smith. 1t shows that
the government year ending July 1,
1909 surpassed any since Newark be-
came port of entry in 1884. The re-
ceipts were about s2500oo, which makes
this city rank about twenty fourth
among the ports In this country. When
the meadows are improved through the
dock plan and the Passaic river i'm
provements are finished, Newark will
be up near the top.
These receipts are from Immediate
transportation. Although much of the
merchandise comes through the big
ports of New York. Boston, Philadel-
phia, Niagara Falls and those of Can
ada, they are passed through and the
duty is collected here. Much is COL
lected on the schooners of lumber and
lath which come direct from the Cana
dian provinces, as well as the plaster
rock, which is brought from HilIsbor-
ough, N. B. Two vessels ply between
this city and Hillsborough continually,
and one lands each week.
Asphalt is received here from vene-
Ty-f, doI H.
largest importatons Is that of hides
from France and Belgium. With hides
placed on the free list there should be
an increase of from $4,000 to $50, 900 in
the receipts at the local revenue office.
Every hide is weighed in the basement
of the Federal building.
The work Is handled by a force of six
men. A large bonded smelling and
refining company which refines lead
bullion and recovers the gold, silver and
copper, keeps two of the force continu-
ally at work. In this way, according to
law, when the lead is refined and the
other metals recovered, 1t escapes duty
when shipped abroad. Under the Will
son tariff law, however, it brought in a
large sum, and if the law was still in
vogue it would mean an income of $780,
900 at the rate it Is refined here.
Platinum is also on the free list, but
in order to keep the records its value
must be known and it is sworn to by the
American consul abroad. Often several
thin sheets in small box Is worth
$4,000. In order to ascertain values the
goods are inspected and If they have
been undervalued the value is advanced.
and this means a penalty to the ship
per-.
Great quantities of wine are received
in bulk and every barrel is gagged and
duty OF 35 cents per gallon is placed on
it. Other articles which bring up the
revenue are lead pencils, cotton, lace,
linens and wire.

LAPP RECALLED; TIGERS
HAVE ONLY ONE CATCHER.
[From a STAR correspondent. ]

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 31.-Jack
Lapp, the hard-hitting catcher of the
Tigers, who was loaned to Newark by
the Philadelphia Athletics, was recalled
by Connie Mack at a late hour last
night. Manager Wolverton received a
telegram from Mack asking that Lapp
be returned, as both of his other
catchers had broken fingers. Connie
has his team well up in the race, and
as Lapp has had experience in the big
league he asked for his temporary re-
turn. AS soon as the Athletics catch
ers are well again Lapp will come back
to Newark. In the meantime Manager
Wolverton will try and get some one to
help Crisp. Lap took an early morn
ing train for Philadelphia. where the
Athletics are now playing.

SURROGATE'S JOB
TEMPTS MANY IN
REGULARS RANKS
George E. Russell's Place, Which
Lasts Five Years, Sought
Vigorously.

Much interest, politically now cen
tres in the Regular Republican candi-
date for surrogate for nomination at the
primaries. Walter F. Simpson will
represent the New Idea people in the
contest for the job and those who fol-
low the political game now want to
know who the Regulars will put up,
as there are a whole lot of men who
are after the place.
George E.. Russell. the present in
cumbent, wants the place over again,
as he thinks he is now better qualified
to fill it than he was when elected five
years ago. He expects to win the
nomination, if the assurance of his
friends count for anything, he says.
Scott German, a well-lznown lawyer.
who is at the head of the Regulars in
the Eleventh ward and is president of
the Lincoln Club, is also out for the
place. He wants it, providing Mr.. Rus
sell finds that he cannot win. Mr.. Ger
man says he does not care to stand in
the present surrogates way, but, just
the same, he thinks that he ought to
have first chance, providing Mr.. Rus
sell cannot land the sanction of the
powers that be.
There are several others beside Mr..
German who would like to OCCUPY the
position of being in line for Mr.. Rus
sells official shoes, providing the voters
these are DR.. Joseph S. Vinson, for
mer Board of Works commissioner, and
Assemblyman William Roberts, both
of the Sixteenth ward, where Mr.. Rus
sell lives; former Assemblyman Ralph
E. Schmidt. former Supervisor David
H. Johnson and Thomas Alworth. of
Montclair. All of these claim that their
friends have assured them that there
is a prospect of success. The job is
one of the best in the county.
On the Democratic side it became
known today that Alderman John F.
Sinnott, of the Seventh ward, will again
seek higher honors at the coming pri-
maries by. trying for the nomination
for surrogate. The senior representa-
tive of the Seventh was once candi-
date for Mayor, Board of Works and
other offices. He is member of the
Harrigan Club.

OPEN SHOP MAY. BE
DECLARED MONDAY
Trouble at Prudential Annex
Likely to Grow-Men
Threaten Other Jobs.

Local building operations are
threatened from two sides today.
The strikers on the Prudential job
are said to have declared that unless
the trouble is patched up soon they
will call out the men who are at work
on the new Telephone building in
rumor afloat today to the effect that
the bosses might retaliate and declare
open shop on Monday. According to
the president of the Essex County
Building Trades Council, the men
would never submit to this. and build
ing operations might be paralyzed.
Some of the union carpenters are
back at work on the Prudential. These
men went out on Thursday at p. m,
but went back to work yesterday morn
ing on account of not being directly at
filiated with the Building Trades AL
lance.
1t is understood that the Hedden Con-
struction Company has sent to New
York to fill the places of the local men
In order not to delay building opera
tions and if these men come here
further trouble will be expected.
According to a statement made by
one of the men who are out, IL the
trouble is not settled in a very short
time the men employed on the new
Telephone building. in Washington
street, will be called out and tie up
operations. on that place, as the same
contractors, Post & McCord, are doing
the ironwork there also.
There was a meeting held last night
at 4S William street, at which the dele
gates from the local unions met, but
nothing definite was done, further
than that if the trouble was not ad-
justed in a short time it would be put
up to the directors of the Prudential
to see what they could do. There are
several loads of iron gir6ers lying on
trucks in the streets around the job,
but no one to take them off. Still the
engineers. over whom the trouble
started, are at their posts of duty.

MANY LIVES LOST
IN FIRE IN OSAKA
And Report of Flood in Nam
churia Says 1000 Per-
sons Were Drowned.

OSAKA, Japan, July 31.-At $3.50 to-
night the fire that has been raging in
this city since an early hour today had
consumed one-fifth of the city. The
flames apparently at that hour were
uncomfortable in the bowling gale that
prevailed.
The firemen, who have been fighting
all day, are completely exhausted and
troops have been called out to assist
in fighting the flames and to preserve
order in the city.
Everything is dry on account of the
drought, and the water supply is fail
ing. The fire is being famed by a
strong breeze and thousands of build
ings. including the world famous
Buddhist Temple, have already been
destroyed
The total loss will be large. A num-
Der have been killed and seriously in
jured by the fire.
TOXIC, July 31.-News has reached
ince of Chang Chun, Manchuria. In
the city of Kirin, situated at the head
of steam navigation on the River Sun
gari. 225 miles from Mukden, 1000 peo-
pie have been drowned and 1000 houses
submerged. The water is still rising.

Business men and man
ufacturers ho coun t
themselves shrewd are
known to get a lon e"
without advertising in
newspapers.
They assume that, hav-
ing been long established,
everybody knows them,
and, having dealt fairly
with the public and sold
worthy goods, they need
not present any argu-
ment to prove quality or
induce purchases.
So they tell us they can
get along without the
STAR and it's $4,000 daily
circulation.
Yet here is the Ameri-
can Telephone and Tele-
graph Co., controlling the
Bell system oftelephones,
having practically a mo-
nopoly, going into an ex-
tensive national cam
paign of advertising the
telephone, and educating
the people up to it's uses.
Not that the company
is not we'll known, not
that the telephone is not
used in large and ever in
creasing numbers, but be-
cause the Bell folks real
ize that not one-quarter
of the people are using
their system in t h g ir|
homes, and they believe
that, once t h g people
appreciate the telephone
at its full value, practi-
cally every home will
have it's telephone.
Until that time-until
everybody has a phone
there will be missionary
work to do - and then
advertising it will be done.
If you have a good
thing, tell the people

ZEPPELIN SHIP
/. BATTLES STORM IN
22O-MILE FLIGHT
Big Dirigible Steered by Count
Sails from Friedrichshafen
to Frankfort.
MADE NO F1EADWAY
FOR NEARLY HALF HOUR
Swept by Wind and Storm,
Says Note Dropped Into
Parade Ground.

FRANKFORT. July 31.-The derig-
bic balloon Zeppelin H.. steered by
Count Zeppelin himself, descended here
safely between and o'clock this
afternoon, after having sailed from
Friedrichshafen, distance of about
220 miles, at an average speed OF
twenty-one miles an hour. Half of ths
time the flight was made against
strong head winds.
Almost the whole population of the
city was in the streets or on the air
navigation exposition grounds to re-
eeive Count Zeppelin. and loud cheer
ing, band playing and factory whistling
began when the airship was sighted at
a height of 900 yards, coming at .
forty-mile rate.
The balloon circled above the city,
displaying the ease with which she an
swered her rudders and then descended
lightly into a wire enclosure guarded
by two regiments of infantry, while
100000 people or more outside the BAR,
riers yelled like mad and two batteries
of artillery saluted.
The performance today, while not SO
far as the trip from Friedrichshafen TO
Bitterfeld and return, which the count
made a couple months ago, was the
most successful fight yet made as no
accident happened and the craft over-
came the strong wind which prevented
progress at one time for twenty-five
minutes. although the propelIers were
going at a rate which otherwise would
have driven the vessel forty miles an
hour.
The count Is delighted with the recep-
ton given him by the public and the
exposition managers.
