.Av|ATORS NOW
AFTER LAHM CUP
FORBES AND FLEISHMANN SAIL
FROM ST. LOUIS-EXPECT
TO REACH CANADA.

st. Louis, Oct. 13.-In an effort to
exceed all American balloon records
for distance and win the Lahm cup
A. Holland Forbes of New York, and
Max Fleishmann of Cincinnati, sailed
in the balloon, New York, at 5:35 yes
terday afternoon. The balloon went
directly east.
Two thousand pounds of ballast
was in the basket Five sacks OF
sand were lost when the basket
struck and tore away a part of the
gas house roof. The aerOnauts for a
minute were in great danger. Forbes,
the pilot, who is acting president OF
the Aero club of America, expects to
land in Canada in the vicinity of the
st. Lawrence valley.
The balloon, according to the
weather observer, will cross one of
the great lakes, and to keep the bas-
ket afloat if it descends in the water,
the aeronauts have placed around it
20-foot inflated rubber tube. Life
preservers, water anchors and rifles
are among the paraphenalia taken.

JUDGE ANDERSON
FREES EDITORS
SMITH AND WILL
JAMS, CHARGED WITH
LIBEL.
JURIST SAYS HE WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW TRUTH REGARD
ING PANAMA.

indianapolis, Oct. 13.-Federal
Judge Anderson yesterday dismissed
he proceedings against Delevan
Smith and Charles r. Williams, pro-
prietors of the Indianapolis News,
who were resisting removal to Wash
ington for trial on charges Of crimt-
nal libel in publishing articles alleg-
ing that there was a corrupt profit OF
$28,0OO,000 in the sale Of the Panama
canal to the United States.
THAT man has read the history OF
our institutions to little purpose,
said Judge Anderson, at the concIus-
ion, "who does not view with appre-
hension a proceeding which would
permit citizens to be dragged from
their homes to the seat of government
for trial under the circumstances OF
this case. The defendants are dis
charged"
81 am of the opinion" said Judge
Anderson, that the fact that certain
persons are called thieves and
'swindlers' does not constitute libel
per Sc. AS a former president said
1t is the duty of the newspaper to
print the news and tell the truth
about it. 1t is the duty of the news,
paper to draw differences for the peo-
pie"
The court reviewed what are
called "many of the peculiar circum-
stances about the whole Panama ca
nal business" and added: "A mum,
Der of people thought there was
something not exactly right about
that transaction, and I say for my
self l feel a natural curiosity to know
what the real truth was. A commit
tee of the senate appointed to fnvestt-
gate, asked William Nelson Cromwell
certain questions, but he stood upon
his privilege as an attorney and re
fused to answer. Cromwell stood
upon his privilege whenever questions
were asked the answer to which
might reflect upon him or his associ-
ates; but whenever a question was
asked giving him an opportunity to
say something in their behalf, he an
swered. To my mind that is just
grounds for suspicion.

New York, Oct. ia fresh chap
ter in Governor Hughes antl-race
track gambling crusade resulted yes
terday in twelve arrests at the Jamai-
ca track. A squad of mocnted po-
lice and a small army of detectives,
between the second and third races,
when the laying of odds was in full
blast, sWooped down Unexpectedly on
the betting ring, gathering in a doz-
en-, several of whom are bookmakers
widely known, all charged with the
making or recording of bets.
Just after the second race mount
ed officers galloped to the entrances
of the ring and blocked all exits The
detectives threw themselves into the
ring and began to search for EVIL
dence. Probably 1000 people were
in the ring and the rapidity with
which the police picked their men and
made searches, evidenced a thorough
preparation.
The men arrested are William Cal

FRAUD ORDER
AGAINST BRAUhS

Washington, Oct. 13.-The postoffice
department, upon allegations in the
report of it's inspectors, has issued a
fraud order" against John F. Braun
and Kate A. Braun, conducting the
Braun institute of Mentiopathy and
the Braun Health Institute at Bloom

Persons suffering any conceivable
disease were advised by circulars
sent through the mails that they GER

through the use of mentiopathy and

The receipts of the various institutes
conducted by the Brauns were dis

Introduction by Peary.

Some of my reasons for saying that
DR.. Cook did not go to the north pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements of the two
EsquimauX boys who went with him,
and who told me and others of my
party where he did go. Several Eski..
mos who started with DR.. Cook from
Anoratok in February, 1908, were at
Etah when | arrived there in August,
1908. They told me that DR.. Cook had
with him, after they left, two Eskimo
boys or young men, two sledges and
some twenty dogs. The boys were
I-tOoka-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. / had
known them from their childhood.
One was about eighteen and the other
about nineteen years of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement l
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in
August, 1909. and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me
in a general way, where DR.. Cook
had been; that he had wintered III
Jones Sound and that he. had told the
white men at Etah that he had been
long way north, but that the boys
who were with him, I-took-a-shoo and
Ah-pe-lah, said that this was not So
The Eskimos laughed at DR.. Cooks
story. On reaching Etah, | talked
with the two boys and asked them to
describe Dr. Cooks journey to mem
bers of my party and myself. This
they did in the manner stated below.
(Signed) R E. Peary.
Siqned statement of Peary. Bartlett,
Mcmillan, Borup and Henson, in
regard to testimony of Cooks two
Eskimo boys:
The two Eskimo boys, I-took-a-shoo
and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied DR..
Cook while he was away from Anora-
tok in 1908 and 1909, were questioned
separately and independently. and
were corroborated by Panikpah, the
father of one of them I-took-a-shoo),
who was personally familiar with the
first third and last third of their jour
nev. and who said that the route for
the remaining third, as shown by
them. was as described TO him by his
son after his return with Dr.. Cook.
Notes of their statements were
taken hy several of US, and no one OF
us has any doubt that they told the
truth
Their testimony was mistaken by
| cross-examination, was corroborated
by other men in the tribe, and was
elected neither by threats nor prom
.ses, the two boys and their father
talking of their journey and their ex-
penenees in the same way that they
