AMERICAN WINS CUP
IN BALLOON RACE
Edgar W. Mix, Of Columbus, Ohio,
Beats All Rivals.
FLIGHT or MORE THAN 871 MILES
Successful Competitor in Great Inter-
national Contest Lands in Tree
in Poland--Cup Awarded by
James Gordon Bennett Returns.

Zurich, Systematically interna-
tional balloon race for the Gordon
Bennett cup has been won by &c gar
w. Mix, American, of Columbus, Ohio,
who will take the cup back to the
United States.
Mr.. Mix landed to the north of
Warsaw, in Russian Poland, at 3 a.
m. He won, with plenty of time to
spare, from Alfred LIE Blanc, the
French pilot. his companion in the
st. Louis race Of 1907, who came
down at Rubin, Hungary, the pre-
vious afternoon.
The first news of Mr.. Mixs landing
was conveyed in a dispatch dated Os-
trolenka, saying:
Il landed in a large pine tree in
the forest of Gutova, west of Ostro-
lenka and north of Warsaw, at 8
o'clock a. m.
II encountered heavy rain. My
ballast was exhausted when CAME
down. At present am in the hands
of the police, hut all is going we'll
II had bad weather. It was cloudy
and rain fell, and I used half my bal
last before morning.
I
was impossible to locate my position,
except for one hour south ofsPrague
and star observation took at sati-
tude 51.45. 4 and longitude 10.O.38."
1t Is evident from Mr. Mix's mes
sage that despite the disbursement
of drifting without knowing his To-
cation he husbanded his ballast and
kept his balloon afioat until the last
ounce of sand was gone.
He made his journey through fog
and binding transforms which COM
PEELED all the other pilots to descend.
After crossing the Swiss and the
Austrian Alps Captain Messner, Swiss.
reported that his clothes were COW
cred with ice half an inch thick. He
reached an altitude of $4,000 feet.
OF the division of balloons carried
more to the southwark, LIE Blanc,
French, reached the farthermost
point. He descended in the foothills
of the Carpathian mountains, being
forced to abandon. his balloon by an
accident on landing.
LIE Blanc covered distance esti-
mated at 1915 kilometers (630.31
miles). Messner's distance was
about the same, and Colonel Schaeck,
Swiss, covered 795 kilometers (493.-
50 miles,.
Mix probably exceeded Erbsloh's
record of 1403 kilometers (87126
miles) made from st. Louis in 1907,
which is the longest fight made in
an international race, although be-
hind Count de la Vaulx's record trip
to southern Russia.
He is the only contestant to cross
the Russian frontier
Mix was the only American con-
testant in the race in which seven
teen balloons started from Zurich.
z...4Mr. Mix used in this contest the
balloon American H., built in Paris
last year for J. G. Mccoy and used by
him in the Berlin race. 1t has gas
capacity of $4,000 cubic feet, the
maximum allowed.

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-06-26
SENATOR LODGE ON THE
PLATFORM.

Senator Lodge interprets his party
and says Nobody ever pledged me to
revise the tariff downward or to re-
to is revision, and l suppose we are
here to revise in view of the interests
to reduce rates, then reduce them; if
il is wiser to give greater protection
we should do that, and if it is wise to
keep them as they are then that should
&c; done"
This has fine, frank, manly sound,
but we are forced by it to the conclu-
sion that the statesman and scholar
from Massachusetts, is disingenuous.
Not only was the tariff splank in the
republican platform adopted because of
the pressure for a revision downward,
but the agitation for a downward
change in certain schedules was par
ticularly loud in the senator's own
state. Not a person in the entire coun-
try could have believed last June that
the plank was the result of a demand
for increased protection. The stand
ratters were willing to stand right
where they were, to let we'll enough
alone as some of them expressed it.
That was the state ofaffairs when the
convention said: The republican par
ty declares unequivOcally for a revi-
sion of the tariff by a special session
o. congress Immediately following the
Inauguration of the next president, and
to this end in the work assigned to
the appropriate committees of con-
gress" There was to be a special
session not to re-enact, the Dingley
law, but to make notifications in that
law owing to public dissatisfaction
over its schedules, and the complaints
were practically all of one kind and
were directed against excessive rates.
1t is true that a principle of revis-
ion was announced and that under it
increases might be made, but the tar
iff plank itself speaks. of preserving
without excessive duties a security
against foreign competition, and it
has been interpreted as the people I'M
Gerstand It by the man who was the
party's candidate for president and
who won the election.-Chicago Rec
ord Herald.
