TO CONDUCT HEALTH
BUREAU FOR INSURED
Holders of Policies Requested to Keep
Companies Informed as to Thei.
Physical Condition and They
Will Be Examined

NEW YORK, July 31.-Declaring
there are 100000 persons seriously Ill
in the United States at all times, an
insurance company has announced its
intention of establishing a health bu-
reau for the benefit of its policy hold
ers.
The idea originated with e. e. Rit-
tenhouse of Pueblo, Colo, former state
insurance superintendent of Colorado,
who came here six months ago to take
charge of one of the companies.
Policy holders will be invited to keep
the health bureau of the company fully
informed at all times as to their physi-
cal condition. They will be asked to
describe all of their symptoms and
then at stated periods those afflicted
may attend clinics conducted by the
company's physicians in various parts
of the country. They will be person
ally and thoroughly examined and fully
advised as to what treatment to pur-
sue.
Mr.. Ritenhouse said; "The deter
mined fight which has been made
against consumption has reduced NOR
tality from that source about 3S per
cent in New York in the last thirty
years, There is no reason why we
should not be as successful in the
treatment of diseases of the heart,
kidneys and brain.
I'm the last thirty years the com
bined death rates for apoplexy and all
diseases of the heart and kidneys has
increased from 1872 per 10000 in popu-
lation to $685. or about 80 per cent in
crease.
president Roosevelt's conservation
commission estimated that more than
a third of the deaths in this country
are premature. BY reducing our death
rate we can reduce the premium the
insnred must paY.'

AMERICANS TO TRY
TO EXCEED RECORD
FLIGHT IN BALLOON
WILL ATTEMPT TO GO FROM
NEBRASKA TO BOSTON
Three Men viii Leave Fort Omaha
Early in October for Long
Trip to Massachusetts,
Bay

KANSAS CITY, July S1.-In an at
tempt to surpass the record fight of
1905 miles in a free balloon, now held
by France, Lieut.. James E. Ware of
the signal corps, u. S. S.; Charles j.
Glidden and Prof. H. H. Clayton will
undertake to fly from Fort Omaha,
Neb. to Boston early in October.
Lieutenant Ware was in Kansas City
last night to meet Mr. Glidden and to
talk over the preparations for the
fight.
I'VE will make this fight from Fort
Omaha because the only hydrogen gas
factory in the United states is located
there Lieutenant Ware said. 1.-THE
reason that France now holds the rec
ord is because the French aeronauts
use hydrogen gas exclusively. while
the Americans have been using ordi-
nary coal gas. Hydrogen gas will lift
seventy pounds for each 1000 cubic
feet, while the same amount of coal
gas will lift only thirty to forty
pounds.
1.-The balloon which we will use viii
hold $4,000 cubic feet of gas, and we
will carry more than ton of sand to
be used as ballast. When we make the
fight we will rise two miles in the air
at the start. When we cross the bor-
ders of New England we will be up
three miles in the air. This difference
in heights is necessary to keep the
equilibrium of the balloon"

STRIKE LEADER
SENT TO JAIL
CIGARMAKER SENTENCED TO
THIRTY DAYS
ADMITS STRIKING AGED WORKER
WHO oBEYEo UNION
Leonardo Barros Unable to Pay Fine
Levied on Him for Kicking
E. Flores In the Face
When Down

Refusing to abide by the decision of
officers of the Cigarmakers union, who
would not permit strike of 200 work.
men employed at the st. Elmo cigar
factory, Leonardo Barrios, Il cigar
maker attempted to inaugurate a
strike of his own and because E.
Flores, an aged man, would not join
Barrios and the latter's band of fifteen
workmen, attacked the latter and beat
him brutally. Barrios was arrested
and pleaded guilty in Police Justice
Roses court to a charge of battery,
and was fined $50. He was unable to
pay the fine and was sent to Jail for
thirty days.
According to Deputy District Attor-
ney Veitch, who heard the story of
Flores and who issued the complaint
against Barrios, the trouble arose over
some misunderstanding between Bar
rios and the management Barrios
brought the matter up before the
union and the officers of that body re-
fused to take any action in the matter
because of the trivial nature of the
dispute.
This angered Barrios and he decided
to call a strike in spite of the union.
Gathering his friends. he soon persuad-
ed others and finally mustered fifteen
workmen who decided to follow Barrios
and strike.
Under the leadership of Barrios. the
disgruntled cigarmakers 'picketed" the
factory and attempted to dissuade 9TH
ers from going to work. Their words
fell on unheeding ears and none would
consent to quit work and join the fif-
teen.
Finally BalTios, when he saw his
chances for closing the shop becoming
smaller and smaller, approached r..
Flores, a Cuban, and a leader among
the Cuban employees, and attempted
to induce Flores to join the strikers
and persuade the others to do likewise.
Flores refused to do so and replied that
the union refused to sanction such a
move and he would continue to work
and see that the others also remained
at work.
This angered Barrios and he struck
the aged man a stinging blow in the
face, knocking him to the pavement.
Flores arose and ran. Barrios followed
him and again struck the old man oi,
the head, knocking him down. Then,
while the aged workman was pros
trate on the pavement, Barrios kicked
him in the face. But for the prompt
arrival of a policeman 1t is probable
that Barrios would have been rough
ly handled by the irate friends of
Flores.
The officers and members of the un-
ion, II Is understood, are incensed at
the action of Barrios. They condemn
his attempt to cause strike after
such action was voted down by tho
union, and it is probable that he will
be expelled from the organization.

FRANKFORT, July S1.-The dirigible
balloon Zeppelin II, steered by Count
Zeppelin himself, descended here safe
| ly between 2 and 3 o'clock this after
noon after having sailed from Friede-
dichshafen, a distance Of about 220
miles, at an average speed of twenty
one miles an hour. Half the time the
fight 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-
ceive Count Zeppelin, and loud cheers,
band playing and factory whistles be-
gan when the airship was sighted at
a height of 900 yards, coming at a
forty-mile rate.

swered her rudders, and then descend
ed lightly into a wire inclosure guard
ed by two regiments of infantry,
while 100000 or more persons outside
the barriers yelled like mad and two
batteries of artillery saluted
The performance today, while not so
far as the trip from Friederichshafen
to Bitterfeld and return, which the
count made a couple of months ago,
was the most successful fight yet
made, as no accident happened and the
craft overcame the strong wind which
prevented progress at one time for
twenty-five minutes, although the pro-
pellers were going at a rate which
otherwise would have driven the YES
sci forty miles an hour.
