THRILLING TRIP
AMONG CLOUDS
Balloonist Mix Tells of His
Wonderful Flight in Inter-
national Race

Paris, Oct. S.-Edgar w. Mix of
Columbus, o., the winner of the inter-
national balloon race for the Gordon
Bennett trophy, which started from
Zurich Sunday, has sent the following
account OF his memorable voyage to
the Associated Press. His dispatch is
dated Warsaw:
Leaving Zurich Sunday at 1851 p.
m, we were able to recognize our
route only as far as Constance. Thence
to the finish the weather was so thick
that direction could be determined
only by compass. During Sunday
night the balloon, in drenching rain,
sometimes seemed to be at complete
standstill. We ascended and descend
ed in search of better currents of air,
without appreciable results. BY
o'clock in the morning, half of our
ballast had been used.
The passage Of the Bavarian Alps
through rain and clouds was thrilling.
Once we swooped down the mountain
side with frightful velocity. plunging
into chasm of fog which seemed
bottomless. 1t was as if the earth
had opened to swallow us up. The
balloon several times crashed through
the tree tops. After two hours we
emerged from the valley and got a
northeasterly slant of wind. When
clear of the mountains we moved at a
lively rate. The guide rope dragged
over farm houses, breaking tiles and
chimneys. The peasants rushed out
with cries and imprecations.
Gradually we continued to descend
after that altitude until 6 o'clock in
the evening. With good equilibrium
we managed to keep afiloat until 8
o'clock Tuesday morning, without ex-
penditure of ballact. of which, as a
matter of fact. there was not an
ounce left.
"The balloon landed and became
wedged between pine trees in the
forest of Gustova. We waited until
$3.50 before debating and then search
ed for help. We found peasants, one
c. whom had been in America and
spoke little English. With their aid
We loaded the balloon on carts. The
peasants conveyed the balloon to Os-
trolenko. There we were stopped by
the police, who took us. together with
the balloon, to the station, where we
remained until instructions were re.
ceived from st. Petersburg for our
release. We were treated excellent.

FOR NATIONAL
INCORPORATION
Bill Being Prepared Which
Will Largely Solve the
Trust Question

Washington. Oct. s.-Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham is working out
plans for number of matters of i'm
portance in legislation coming within
the jurisdiction of his department.
He has not yet committed to paper
the bill which he purposes to draft
as basis for a national incorpora-
tion act but he is giving it a great
deal of consideration and probably
will have it ready for definite action
about the time that congress con-
venes.
This bill. which largely meets his
views, as to solving the trust prob
lem. has been the subject of confer
ence between himself and other adj
ministration officials. The differing
conditions affecting incorporation, the
incorporation in one state and the
transaction of interstate business
hereunder in other states wherein nc
incorporation is made, and the variety
of state laws has encouraged the
formation of holding companies and
the proposed act is to provide for
voluntary incorporation under the ma
tional law.

REFUSED THE

Ind Willingness to Increase
Test 1elyet Chaff One Pound per
Bushel, but Would Not Add Half a
Pound to No. 2 Hard.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 8.-The
Grain Dealers National association
convention here today made a great
stride toward uniform grading of
grains. By conceding some of the de-
mands made by the Chicago grain men
for changes in the grain grades draft
adopted at the st. Louis convention
last year, the grain men have finally
adopted uniform grading for corn,
oats, barley and rye, and finally adopt
ed the Kansas City, Chicago and
southwestern market grades on milo
maize and kaf1ir corn. They also made
some material concessions by grant
ing part of the Chicago mems demands
for changes in wheat tests.
There were, however, five demands
made by the Chicago grain men for
changes in wheat gradings, that were
not granted. Steps were taken to
bring an agreement on those five
points of difference, by the authorize
tion Of strong committee of five
which will call conference with the
Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri and Kan
sas state commissions and prominent
boards of trade. At this mee ling an
effort will be made to get an agree
ment on these five grades of wheat.
The first of the refusals was of the
demand of the Chicago grain men to
raise the test weight of No. 2 white
winter wheat from Sc to 50 pounds.
Another denial was of the demand
that Nos. 2, 3 and hard winter
wheat may contain maximum of
twenty-five per cent red winter wheat.
The national convention refused to
raise the test weight of No. / hard
spring wheat from IS to SO pounds
and No. 2 northern spring wheat from
So to 50 1-2 pounds.
The convention indicated that it
would grant an additional one pound
to the test weights of velvet chaff
wheat grades, but refused to accede
to the demands of the Chicago men to
raise the weight test approximately
three pounds. ~"
The convention conceded the de-
mands of the Chicago men for the use
of the word new" as now used in
the Illinois rules, and also granted
changes demanded in red winter. No.
spring and Nos. 1, 2, 8 and 4 white
spring wheats, and in durum wheat.

GAMBLE ON SEA PERIL
England Finds Actual Crime In Some
Marine Policies.

London, Oct. S.-Gambling on lives
at sea will be made punishable Of
Tense in Great Britain by virtue of the
marine insurance gambling policies)
bill, which on its second reading was
unanimously passed the other day in
the house of lords, and therefore
practically only needs the royal as
sent to become law. The object of
the bill is "the prohibition of gamb-
ling on loss by maritime perils."
If any person effects contract Of
marine insurance without having a
arrival of the ship or the safety of
the cargo 1t will be deemed to be
gambling on loss by sea dangers. Tie
punishment will be Imprisonment,
with hard labor for six months, or a
fine of $500. Further, the gambler
must forfeit to the crown any money
he may receive under this gambling
contract.
Lord Hamilton of Dalzell, the gov
ernment spokesman, told OF the busl-
ness which, according to information
gathered by the board of trade, was
being done in this sort of gambling
recently.
Certain. people" he said, "have
been in the position in which they
could find out something wrong with
the ship, and instead Of going, as
rightly disposed persons would do, to
the owners and telling them, in order
that life and property might be saved
from destruction, they have kept that
information to themselves. On re-
cent occasion q person in this way
profited by $4,000 from the loss of
a ship"
Lord Hamilton instanced the case
of man who paid SO much on his
gambling insurance that 1t amount
ed to bet of to 1 that the ship
would go to the bottom on one single
voyage"
Lord Peterborough told Of an In
stance Of ship worth only $4,000
on which $4,000 worth of insurance
had been piled up. Another instance
was given of ship which with it's
crew and cargo was taken along the
coast of South America and deliber-
ately run on shoal.
The ship got on, but was run on
another shoal. This did not succeed,
but on the third attempt the ship went
to pieces and some of the crew died
sof fever afterward.

Charles Kerr, and is to be tried on
the Mississippi river at Sycamore
Point, near Matches.
This new System of bank protection

tests netnland streams as we'll as on
the seashore, responding gsatisfactor-

especially gratifying as to the test
made on Horn Island, on the shifting
sand beach, where at last report the
gablon built under the supervision
of Captain Kerr was still doing its
work land was intact.
The Sycamore Point test is expected
to demonstrate its thorough adaptable

culiarities and do away eventually

given 80 much trouble and caused
such vast property loss along the great
