THE man who announces to con-

his greatest delight to occupy, and
complacently looks to have the Amer
lean people and the senate give their
approval to his verdict. / await that
verdict calmly and without fear and
will abide by it.

LOON BURSTS
after A FLIGHT
WHEN NEAR GROUND ELECTRIC
SPARK ExPLoDEs CRAFTS
GAS BAG.

Omaha, Neb., May II. = Army bal
loon No. IL, which assembled from Fort
Omaha shortly after II o'clock yester-
day. landed at Jackson, Neb., at 5:45
o'clock last evening. In making land
ing the gas bag exploded few feet
above the ground and was destroyed,
but neither Captain Chandler nor
Lieutenant Ware, who made the flight,
were seriously injured. The town of
Jackson is about 80 miles west of
Sioux City.
Lieut. Ware last night declared that
aside from the destruction of the gas
bag the flight was an entire success.
Capt. Chandler believes that while at
a high altitude the gas bag became
charged with static electricity and
that on reaching the ground contact
with the earth caused an arc to form,
thus producing an electric spark which
set fire to the big bag.
The highest altitude reached was
4,400 feet, shortly after the balloon
left the earth.
Running out of ballast in the vicin-
ity of Jackson, Captain Chandler de-
cided to make a landing. The balloon
came down IN an open held IN an easy
manner, but just as it reached the
earth the explosion occurred.
Both Captain Chandler and Lieut.
Ware were knocked down by the force
of the explosion, but were not SER
iously injured. Captain Chandler said
that despite the destruction of the
balloon much was accomplished in an
experimental way by the flight The
bag was a new one and had never be-
fore been inflated.
The distance Travelled was about 100
miles. and deducting the hour and a
half the balloon was becalmed, the
flight was made in about six hours.
Much of the time, however, up to 8
o'clock, the wind was so low that the
balloon moved only five to eight miles
an hour The maximum speed reached
was about fifty miles.
