the Belasco Theater. was attended by the
largest audience which has vet greeted
ttis splendid organization. These Fill
Pinos seem fairly to have won the hearts
CT mu-ic-loving washingtonians.
The programme last night was made Up
entirely from requested selections. and
was distinctly popular in its nature. It
opened with Souss's "Fairest Of the
Fair" The most ambitious selections
end those whose playing called forth the
most enthusiastic applause. were the over
ture from william Tell" the sextet
from Lucia" LISTS Second Hungarian
Rhapsody. and gems from Faust"
In the William Tell" overture It real
lied many Of the possibilities that are as
a rule only to be expected from the best
balanced orchestrss.
An interesting and unique feature was
the number entitled An Evening with
the Salvation Army q descriptive piece.
in which the whole band joined in the
singing Of a typical Salvation Army
hymn. This sort OF thing must be done
well-nigh perfectly or It fails entirely
The F1lipinos last night were fully I'D to
the requirements Of the piece. their chorus
work being characterized by a richness Of
harmony and esprit that were the evi-
denees Of the most careful training.

He always has his men well in hand. and

CHARGED WITH FORGERY
(American News Service)

Newark, N. j., Oct. 7.-Eugene
Schlande, formerly a wealthy resident
of st. Louis, where he married Miss
Schubert, who subsequently divorced
him, is a prisoner in Jail today charg-
ed with forgery while the police and
Pinkerton detectives have started a
wide investigation, tracing operations
of the prisoner in various sections of
the United States.
Schlande, a graduate Of the Univer-
sity of st. Louis and of Cornell, came
here after squandering an inheritance
of nearly $4,000 and secured work as
a bookkeeper for the manufacturing
firm of F. Mats. The Union National
Bank complained to Mr.. Mats that his
account had been overdrawn and the
subsequent investigation led to the
forgery charge against Schlande. The
technical charge is based on an alleg-
ed $500 forgery,

down Main street caluting the throngs
by the firing of six inch guns. The
exhibit was the work of Elmer McCon-
aha and with out doubt the most uni
que in the parade. The other machines
to attract especial notice were those
of DR.. F. S. Anderson. William H. Kel-
ly, s. E. Swayne, Ed Gates and R. G..
Leeds.
A vast majority of the crowd on
Main street went to the Warner
school, on North Seventh street after
the parade and watched the fire
works display. Everyone present was
pleased with the celebration. Several
hundred dollars had been spent on
this event alone and the pyrotechnics
ended an eventful day. All the forms
and creations of the Chinese world OF
fire works were consumed and the
large crowds witnessed the greatest
exhibit of this kind ever given in this
city.

THOUSANDS GAZED AT
UNIQUE PERFORMANCE
Ascension Made on South +

Time and Without thG

Resembling a large eagle coming
down from the crags to crown the
Panic Proof City," George L. Bum
baugh, in his dirigible balloon, made
beautiful flight over the city yester-
day afternoon. With the airship un-
der perfect control and with excellent
weather conditions, Captain Bumbaugh
flew for fully twenty-five minutes te
the delight of 10000 people.
At exactly twenty minutes Of fiv,
Captain Bumbaugh arose easily an,'
slowly on the field at South H ans
Eighth streets. The balloon WI
started south and then turned to the
north toward Main Street. His as
sistants had left him and were in al
automobile ready to follow. The larg
gas bag propelled by a four cylinder
engine, started down Eighth street Z
a height of about four hundred feet
About two blocks from the startin:
point, the balloon struck an air cur
ChI Sul ACu IL So1uplCCClS al Ouh'
and at the same time carried it out fiv,
blocks west to Whitewater river valley
Hit by Strong Breeze.
Here it again encountered strone
pear as if it was at the mercy Of the
winds. But Bumbaugh worked witt
the engine and the vrudder and tn
balloon headed down Main street.
Captain Bumbaugh said afterwar.
that at such a height he was unable t,
tell where Main street was, and turn
ed south before he had intended to q,
SO.
The word that Bumbaugh had begu,
his flight spread like wild fire." an
the streets and roofs of buildings wer
crowded with people. Nearly ever
resident of the city, both old an,
young, were out to see the wonderf,,
flight. Many of the old inhabitant
of Richmond who remember great dis
coveries and inventions admitted tha,
they had never dreamed of the tim
when it would be possible for a mar
to fly and at the same time have per
feet control of the machine.
The flight by Bumbaugh was a rec
ord breaking event for this city and TO-.
the Fall Festival. It will mark 9
milestone in the history Of Richmond
In this day and age when so much is
being accomplished and such great dis
coveries are being made the Panic
Proof City, can count as one of its
achievements, the flight of a dirigible
balloon. 1t is all the more remarkable
since the man who is doing the work is
an Indianaian.
The machine did not start on the ex-
act time owing to a broken bolt in the
propeller. It was some time before
suitable material could be found to
hold the propeller to the rod from the
engine. Finally, however, some large
nails were secured and the flight be-
gun.

SM|TT|E HAPPY MAN

1t was with an effort that Bandmas-
ter Smittie, Of the celebrated Smittie's
band which is playing in this city dur
ing the Fall Festival, tore himself
away from Cincinnati. for on Tuesday
night the stork lowered over the Smit-
tie homestead in the Queen City and
presented the happy parents with a
twelve pound baby boy. To say Mr.
Smittie is happy would be putting It
mildly indeed. His enthusiasm on the
prospect Of returning home tomorrow
night where he may love and fondle
the new baby to his hearts content, il
unconfined. Perhaps this fact has
added impetus to the efforts Of the
famous leader to please the thousands
who daily congregate to enjoy the
sweet music of his excellent band.
