PROTEST ARISES OVER
LANDING WINNER MADE
Edgar w. Mix Replies That He
Was ForcibIy Detained

BERLIN, Oct. S.-Edgar w, Mix, the
American aeronaut, winner OF the Cor
don Bennett trophy in the balloon race
which started from Zurich last Sunday,
arrived here today from Ostrolengo
Russian Poland, and left for Paris to-
night.
While in Berlin Mix received a tele-
gram informing him that protest
had been lodged against his being de-
clared the winner of the Bennett tro-
ply ON the ground that he had made a
landing with the America II before
he finally came down in the forest OF
Gutova.
"This protest. said Mix, probably
is founded on an incident that nap
pened at some place the name OF which
is unknown to me, about so miles
northeast of Prague.
Several persons caught hold of the
rope, Notwithstanding my protest and
despite my endeavors to make them
let go, and dragged the balloon TO
earth The basket touched the ground
and rested there probably between hve
and seven minutes until L was able 10
persuade the people to let go and had
also written dispatch. Instead OF
being of advantage to me / lost three
bags of ballast before 1 could resume
the voyage.
Mix said he desired to have the COM
uittee make the fullest investigation
of the incident. He said he was treated
with the greatest courtesy by the po-
lice of Ostrolenko. but was detained by
them for "a hours, when his release
was ordered by telegraph from st.
Petersburg.
