GIVEN UP FOR THE YEAR
The Explorer Was Sailing Rapidly Toward the North When a Series of Accidents Set in Result ing in Destruction of the Balloon

Camp Wellman, Spitzbergen, Via Hamerfest. Aug. 21.-Walter We'll mans second attempt to sail over lthe north pole in a balloon has resulted in failure. The giant dirigible balloon America" in which Mir Wellman and his party of three set out, pro- ceeded about thirty-two miles from the starting point. 4r Wellman and his party succeeded 4n making safe landing and returned to this point on board the steamer Tram, which also lowed in the disabled balloon.
 After long preparation and waiting for favorable weather, the oppOrtun- ity came today. It was ten o'clock in the morning when the great air ship was brought out of its shed and the daring explorers took their places in the car. When the anchors were cast loose, the airship ascended beau tifully, the engines were set in mo- ton and everything seemed to work to perfection. Then its head was turned to the nOrthward and it set out at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour. After having covered some thirty-tWo miles and when every thing seemed to be going splendidly. the leather guide rope to which was attached 1000 pounds of provisions and stores, broke away
 The accident occurred just as the airship was nearing a pack of ice north of Spitzbergen. Released from this great weight, the airship shot upward at a terrific pace, until it was at a great height above the clouds. The pilots succeeded, how ever in bringing it down near the earth, turning about and setting their way to fight sOuthward against a strong wind. The airship proceeded slowly southward to the edge of the ice pack where the steamer Tram was anchored.
 After much difficulty a tow rope was given aboard the Tram, which started immediately to tow the air ship to Spitzberen. The strain was so great, however, that it threatened to tear the car to pieces. and MT. Wellman finally decided to bring the airship down to the surface of the water until all the members of the crew, dogs and scientific instru- ments could be transferred aboard the Tram. The America was then lowed back to the landing stage.
 But the ill-luck of the expedition was not yet at an end. Just as the airship had reached the alnding stage. a sudden gust of wind caught the big bag broadside on. and snatched it away from its towing. It was car ried careening over the rough ice hummocks for some distance and then it exploded. All the scattered parts were subsequently, recovered, but the damage was so great as to preclude any further attempt to fly over the pole this year.

CAPTURED BY POLICE
ATTEMPT IN NEW YORK TO
COUNTERFEIT TICKETS
Officers Say Three Men and Woman
Planned to Defraud Subway
Company of Thousands
of Dollars

NEW YORK. March 9.-Secret SER
vice men employed by the 1nterborough
Rapid Transit company have I'M
earthed a gigantic scheme to swindle
the company by means of counterfeit
subway and elevated railway tickets.
Three men and a woman were ar
rested yesterday, and small hand
press, two dies and $4,000 tickets were
confiscated.
1t is alleged that though few bogus
tickets have been sold SO far, those
behind the scheme had made elaborate
arrangements to dispose of them by the
thousands at a so-called club near One
Hundred and Forty ninth street and
Third avenue, at the rate of 21s cents
each.
More than a week past detectives
noticed that a number of counterfeit
tickets were in boxes of the subway
and an investigation was begun.
They were traced to the One Hundred
and Forty-ninth street station and this
led to the arrest-of Henry j. Torrens,
who lived with his young wife in West
Forty-fourth street. The wife was also
taken into custody. Torrens 1t is said,
admitted that he began the alleged
swindle on Washington's birthday.
The counterfeit tickets for the sub
way are a good imitation, but the ele-
They were apparently made in Brook
Ign, where Michael Rubinski and Sam
uel Rubinski, making the total four
prisoners, were arrested after Torrens
and his wife had been arrested.
The material for making the tickets
was found in a building occupied by
one of the Rubinskis.
