AFTER FRENCH BALLOON RECORD
KANSAS CITY, July 3l.--ln an az
tempt to smpass the record of l,2Oj
miles in a balloon, now held by France,
Lieutenant James E. Ware of the sig
nal corps of the United States army,
Charles J. Glidden and Professor II. H..
Clayton will undertake to fly from
Fort Omaha, Neb., to Boston early IN
October. Lieutenant Ware was in
Kansas City Friday night 10 meet
Glidden and to talk over preparations.
We will make this flight from Fort
Omaha because the only hydrogen gas
factory in the United States is located
there Lieutenant Ware said. THE
reason that France now holds the
record is because the French aeronauts
use hydrogen gas exclusively. The
balloon which we will have will hold
so 900 cubic feet of gas. We will carry
more Ghan one ton Of sand for bal
last"
L. S. HAS AIRSHIP DESTROYER
LONDON, July 3l.--It has been
learned that the reason the United
States government remains apparently
so little concerned about the advances
in aerial navigation by foreign eXpel-
imenters is that an officer in the United
States army stationed at Fort Omaha
has worked out an electric invention
which is likely to paralyze all other
existing or proposed engines of war.
The machine is said TO project through
the air column of electric energy
or almost any desired strength at any
given object for a distance of many
hundred yards.

FOR
MYSTERIOUS
Mr.. ANDREW
Stranger Claims Bank Book
Found in the Clothes of an
Unknown Dead Man.
Coroner Gordon Will Hold
Inquest Tomorrow.

In the discovery of the mysterious
Mr.. Andrews. who claimed that he was
the owner OF the handbook found on
the body of the man killed on the Penn
sylvania tracks Monday night. the Gary
police believe that much of the mys-
terry surrounding the case can be clear
ed up. It may be possible, according
to the authorities, that the book was
stolen from Andrews. and although this
story is not given much credence. the
police think that it is well to investi-
gate.
The mama written on the handbook
found in the dead mans possession was
Andrew Michalchuck, and the book was
one issued by the First National bank
of Gary. Twice since the body of the
man has been found the foreigner who
called himself Andrew has called for
the book which was found in the pos
session Of the dead man. The first time
the employees of the bank did not know
that it had been found, and the sec
ond time they forgot to have the man
detained.
The inquest ove- the body of the de-
ceased has been postponed by Coroner
E r. Gordon of Hobart until tomorrow
morning, pending the search by the
Gary police for the mysterious Andrew
The circumstances surrounding the
case help somewhat to support the muir
der theory. because of the fact that a
pool of blood was found some distance
from where the body lay on the track
which might have been the scene of a
struggle between two men. He then
might have been laid on the track tc

shows that the building activity in
East Chicago was greater in proper

In North Township at large there
were s90,160 in personals in 1908. while
the personals in 1909 were $95.ss5. This
shows a substantial increase in the
township outside of the cities.
In Munster the personals were $22,
825 with $500 improvements and AZ
polls and this is something below the
figure of last year. Taken all together
the showing in North Township is very
satisfactory and the progress of the
