BALLOON new YORK WON
Was in the Air Thirty-Five Hours and
Covered 25S Miles.

New York, June 1O.-The official
figures compiled here by William
WEIGH, photographer of the United
States signal corps. indicate that the
balloon New York, operated by A.
Holland Forbes, acting president of
the Aero Club of America, and Cliff
ford B. Harmon of this city, won the
national balloon race which started
from Indianapolis last Saturday. The
distance covered by Forbes and Har-
mon in the New York was three hun
dred and fifty-eight miles, they having
landed at Corinth. Miss, after spend
ing 35 hours and 10 minutes in the
air.
1t is possible that Forbes and Har-
mon will also win the endurance cup,
for although Carl Fisher, in the bal
loon Indiana, stayed in the air more
than As hours, he touched land twice
to take on water II is the opinion
of balloonists that this will disqualify
Fisher for the endurance prize.
Mr.. Harmon returned to New York
and announced that he and Mr.
Forbes would make try for the long
distance record of the world as soon
as arrangements can be completed. He
said the start would be made from
either st. Louis or Kansas City, ac-
cording to the quality of gas to be

Prussian Royal Academy of Sciences.
In collaboration with Prof. H. Rubens
in the University of Berlin he published
a research. In 1898 Doctor Nichols was
called to the professorship of physics
in Dartmouth, where his experiments
are admittedly the most delicate meas
urements of heat ever made. After
FIVE years at Dartmouth Doctor Nichols
was called to the chair of experimental
physics in Columbia university, but be-
fore he assumed his new duties Dart
mouth gave him the honorary degree
of doctor of sciences.
His Investigations and discoveries
have brought him many distinctions
among which are the Rumford j. Rum
ford prize of the American Academy or
Arts and Science and membership in
the American Philosophical Society and
the National Academy of Science. He
is on the council of the American
Physics Society and the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement OF
Science. He is a member of the
Astronomical and Astrophysical So
ciety. Doctor Nichols is married and
has one child. daughter.

IN TOPEKA, ZOO.
It Is Reported Procurers Are at Work
for White Slave Market.

Chicago, June 10.-Mysterious dis
appearances of girls from towns and
cities adjacent to Chicago have been
reported in increasing numbers dur
ing the last month to the committee
on legislation against the white slave
traffic" appointed by the ''Woman's
World" magazine. Discovery of pro-
curerS at work in many communities
has given concrete confirmation to
warnings that depraved men and Wo-
men make systematic traffic of girls
and young women, enticing them
from their homes to sell them at $25
to $50 each into disorderly houses.
From Mansfield, o., comes the report
that procurers representing them
selves as employment agents for the
been trying to induce young girls en-
ployed in factories to go to Chicago
where more lucrative employment is
promised.
From Topeka, Too.
Similar reports have come from
Galesburg, ILL.,, Topeka, Kan, Indiana
and Arkansas. Employment is Of
fered in other large factories" ac-
cording to the Mansfield News, land
the most alluring prospects are set
forth to induce the girls to leave
Mansfield and go to the city. The
fact that agents of such a character
are operating in Mansfield has come
to the attention of Joseph J. Haupt,
manager of the Mansfield branch of
the, American Cigar company, and he
has denied most emphatically that the
agents are representatives of his con-
Germ. The underlying motive of these
agents is to secure girls for houses of
ill repute in the larger cities and more
especially Chicago. 1t is nothing
more or less than continuation Of
the white slave traffic.
Many girls of foreign families are
being sought after more at the pres
ent time as American girls have been
q little more shy about listening to
the allurements of the agents. 1t
is more of the foreign class which the
agents are seeking in Mansfield at
the present time" Copies of the Wo~
mans World bills enacted by the IL
linois legislature against white slav
cry have been sent to governors of all
states urging the need of uniform laws
on the same lines.

WOMAN WAS STARVING.
Emaciated Face at Window Attracted
Policeman's Attention.

New York, June 10.-The emaciated
and almost lifeless form of woman
at the window of a tenement leading
in West Forty-seventh street caused a
policeman to enter last night and he
found a pitiful case of restitution and
starvation. The woman was Mrs.
Thomas Corbett and she and her hus-
band and her father, Jacob Kirch-
gessner, had been in the house with
out food since Saturday
The father, almost a skeleton was
unconscious on the floor in one room,
while Corbett, in another room, was
too weak to help himself. The woman
had struggled to the window in the
hope of attracting help. She said that
many months of idleness on the part
of her husband, due to his illness, and
the physical disability of herself and
her father had reduced them to
starvation. The last crust of bread
was divided among them on Saturday
and since then they had remained in
the house growing steadily weaker
The father was sent to a hospital
where it was said that he was likely
to die and physician and nurse were
called in to attend Corbett and his
wife.

Water CASE
TO Be DECIDED
This MORNING

The Tognoni water case will be
decided by Judge Averill this morn
ing. The matter was argued by
counsel yesterday. Tognoni is up
before the court for contempt, it
being alleged that he violated de-
cree made out of the court some
time since in which he was restrict
ed from using more than $50 inches
of water from the Duckwater creek.
1t is further alleged that he disre-
garded the courts ruling by appro-
priating to himself much more wa
ter than he was entitled to.
In the case of the Fairview
Round Mountain Mining company
against the Round Mountain Hydrau-
lie Mining company, Judge Averill
denied tie motion of the defend
ants to set aside ruling made by
Judge O'Brien after the latter had
finished his Office as district Judge
The case it appears came up during
Judge O'Brien occupancy of the
bench. Some few days after his
term had expired he entered a rul-
ing against the defendant 1t was
argued that the ruling would not
and could not hold. Judge Averill
ruled that it could and did hold.

most severely injured. Their
wounds consisted of abrasions and
Commissions of the head and body as
well as decorations of minor ma
ture. They were removed to the
Miners hospital where their injur-
les were treated by DR.. Mapes. The
doctor states that neither one will
be any the worse for the experience
within a few days. Mr.. Hodge was
treated by DR.. Hammond. His
hands were torn by flying rock,
though his injuries were of trivial
nature.
The explosion was undoubtedlj
due to a quick fuse. The fuses
were cut long enough to allow the
men plenty of time to get beyond
harms way. However, there are
times when the fuse does not work
the way it should and yesterday 5
accident was because of that fact.

Will Erect
LARGE PLANT
At M'GILL

1t is learned that William McGill
and Ex-Governor Jewett Adams will
erect one of the largest cold storage
plants in the state at McGill, White
Pine county.
During the recent visit of Mr..
Adams to Tonopah he stated that he
and his partner contemplated the
building of plant capable of hous-
ing 100 beeves, 200 sheep and 100
hogs. 1t is more than probable
that the plant will be enlarged to
handle considerable more.
Mr.. Adams and his partner have
in view the furnishing of Ely AMI
the country contributory thereto
with all the meat to be consumed in
that section Further than that
they contemplate supplying the
Goldfield and Tonopah sections a;
soon as the Ely-Goldfield road will
have been completed At this time
the largest cold storage concern il
the state is located at Reno. 1t viii

AL Garcia evidently labors under
the impression that because a cabin
is vacant its ownership passed to
the public at large. Sunday night
with the aid of a crowbar, he pro-
ceeded to remove windows and
doors from a cabin belonging to
George Wingfield in Central street
He made such fuss about it that
he was heard and the police notified.
After making away with door and
ether lumber, he returned for an
other load. This time Chief of Po-
lice Malley and officer Slavin were
waiting for him. AS he was MAX
ing his getaway Mr.. Slavin arrest
ed him.
The culprit was given hearing
yesterday before Judge Atkinson
with the result that he has been as

searched to learn if he had in his
possession other articles which had
