Missing for n Week

Tonight marked the end of a week since the big balloon faded from the sight of those who cheered at St. Louis the departing contestants in the interna- tional balloon race. Four days ago, at the latest, it is estimated the gas which buoyed the balloon in prevailing north east winds, must have lost its potency From what spot the skytraveers may have been endeavoring to fight their way to civilization since that time, or at what isolated haven, with friendly Indians woodsmen or trappers they be awaiting !. succor, are problems now engaging atten- ton of experts summoned here by MT.
 The s'O,i Op,oissipKity that the missing aero nauts may Have fallen into one of the great lakes or even passed beyond the province of Quebec to the Atlantic and been lost Is realized. But the strong probability tonight was held to be that they have landed in one of two immense tracts of Canadian wilderness
 The balloon carried firearms and four days provisions
 The part of Canada to the south and east of Hudson Bay, where it is thought the America II may have landed, is a wilderness and progress through 1t would be most difficult. But it is a good game country. The streams and lakes are full of fish upon which the aeronauts would be able to live until they reached an Indian camp or met fur trapper's party. If either or both of them were seriously injured in descent their chances of get ting out would be greatly reduced Many trapping parties are now going in and there are many lumber cruisers in the woods There are mining explorers and fair scattering of Algonquin Indians throughout the region

Indians Are Friendly

As there is a spirit of friendship among the travellers in Northern Canada, both Indians and white man, this would as- sure Hawley and Post hearty welcome by any party they might meet and all help which could be rendered Most of the balloons which have reported de- scended within striking distance of con- struction camps along the National Trans-Conential railway, which is be- ing driven across northern Ontario and Quebec. If the America II succeeded in passing this line and landed 200 or 300 miles to the north they might be safe and comfortable and still not be heard from for q month or possibly until next spring It is thought it would be futile to send searching parties out there, be- cause of the extensiveness of the region. It is the size of half dozen ,states as

The BROWNE JURY
COULD NOT AGREE

Chicago, June 29.-After having
been out 115 hours considering the
evidence in the trial of Lee O'Nei
Browne, charged with bribery in con.
nection with the election of William
Lorimer to the United States senate
the jury in tie case reported today
that it could not agree upon YER
dict.
The jury was discharged at 11:06
a. m. They retired to deliberate on
the evidence at o'clock Friday af-
ternoon.
States Attorney Wayman said he
would ask for retrial at once.
"The state is ready and willing
that a new trial start this afternoon" +"
said Wayman. 81 will insist upon an
early trial"
When Judge McSurley called the
jury in today he asked If there was
any chance of an agreement. The
jurors answered in unison that there
was not.
The court again urged them to try
to agree, and the jurors replied that
any further attempt would be use
less. Judge McSurley then dis
charged them.
''That was a most peculiar jury,
said the judge after the dismissal.
"They said that they had agreed not
to reveal how they stood. They re-
fused to tell me anything.
1t is reported that the jury stood
8 to 4 for conviction from the start.
Browne left the court room as soon
as the jury was dismissed. He re-
fused to make a statement.
The report that the jury stood s
to 4 for conviction was confirmed
this afternoon by Charles Spar, a
Juror. He denied that a fist fight
occurred during the deliberation. He
said that the jurors were friendly,
and had an enjoyable time.

RAILROADS
MUST OBEY
THE LAWS
CORVALLIS g. EASTERN FINED
5000 FOR NOT oBEYING ORDER
OF STATE COMMISSION TO
BUILD DEPOT AT LYONS.
[uN1rrp Pnpss nrAsrp wrnn.1

Albany, Or, June 29.-After be-
ing out two hours the jury in the case
of the State OF Oregon VS.. the Cor
wallis C Eastern Railway Company
last night returned a verdict for the
state, deciding that he company did
no comply with the order of the State
Railroad Commission to build and
equip a suitable depot at Lyons.
Judge Burnett fined the company
5000 and costs. 1t is estimated that
the costs will mean an additional
5000.
This is the first case ever brought
to collect a penalty from a railroad
company for violation of an order of
the State Railroad Commission. All
of the members of the commission
were present in court when the YER
dict was returned. 1t is probable the
case will be appealed to the state SUI
preme court.
This case was brought to collect
the $4,000 penalty provided by law
for the failure of company to COM
ply with an order of the State Rail-
road Commission.
1t was proved that the Corvallis &
Eastern Company did not comply
with an order of the Railroad Com
mission to build, equip and maintain
suitable depot at Lyons, a station
on the c. & E., 80 miles east of AL
bany.
The state introduced evidence in
an effort to show that, instead of
erecting the kind of depot ordered,
the company had made a depot by
placing two old box cars together on
platform. The defense maintains
that the depot complies with the re-
quirements of the order as to floor
space and other specifications, and
Furthermore that the order of the
commission was unreasonable, in
view Of the amount of traffic on the
railroad to and from Lyons.

DENS - T III II e e HUNDRED
NEWSPAPER MEN IN RENO
WRITING ABOUT THE FIGHT

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. I

Reno, New, June 29.-Reno' 3
professional gamblers are cleaning
up. In anticipation of the enforce
ment of the anti-gambling laws be-
ginning October 1, the gamblers are
helping each other out and the fight
fans are the sufferers. The percent
age for the house has been showed
up just as many notches as it is pos
sible to move it and the play for the
house is so regular that the dealers
are kept busy and need help when it
comes to raking in the coin.
This is probably the last big clean
up the gamblers can expect. The
shifting of the fight to Nevada had
about the same effect for them that
the discovery of gold in their own
back yards would have had. And
they are not throwing away their op.
portunity. The big crowds are pro-
viding plenty of money. Many visi-
tors go to the gambling houses out
of curiosity and play a few dollars
for the experience. AS a rule it
does't take long to get experience.
There are other, however, bent on
beating the gamblers at their own
game. Men with systems" sit
around the roulette tables and the
gamblers are getting rich.
The newspaper colony here is one
of the biggest ever gathered for any
event in America There are fully
800 newspaper men and special cor
respondents on the ground. The
Reno commercial club and the Ne
vada newspaper association will give
a smoker Saturday night for the Wis
itors and it is intimated the lid will
be lifted so high that the Wright
brothers could sail beneath it and
Reno would have plenty of room to
beat the altitude record.

THE BLACK

JOHNSON To DO STUNTS FOR
MOVING PICTURES IN ORDER
TO ENCOURAGE AMERICAN
CHILDREN TO EMULATE HIS
GREAT CAREER.
(By Tip Wright.)
GUNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.I


Rick's Training Camp, Reno, New,
June 29.-Every effort is being
made to keep champion Jack John
son in pleasant frame of mind, to
prevent him from worrying over his
little affair with JEFF on July fourth,
and to keep him from developing a
case of nerves. All is merriment at
Johnson's camp Today's baseball
game, at which the big black will
act as umpire, is intended to keep
him from getting fretful. Mock
trials at night, where Johnson's po-
lice court speeding experiences make
him feel perfectly at home, fill in
Nthe evenings, and with music and
banter the days are passing in a
way that would make, a casual visi-
tor think that preparation for a
fight was the last thing in the mind
of anybody about Rick's resort.
But there is a lot of earnestness
under it all and the negro and his
trainers are really working hard to
be ready for the battle.
Opinion is divided over Johnson S
condition. His followers say he is
in better shape than ever before.
Others do not fancy his style of
work and complain that he shows
speed only at intervals. There is
considerable truth in this charge.
Johnson cuts loose only when stung
by one of his sparring partners. At
other times he is content TO block
and stop the punches.
Johnson will go through his
stunts today for the moving picture
men, He will spar, skip the rope,
punch the bag, do some shadow box.
ing, run past the picture machine as
though he were hitting it up on the
road, and possibly wrestle bit. The
champion can be depended on to put
up a good show. He is always ac-
comodating when publicity is at
stake, and naturally he wants to ap-
pear at his best in the pictures. In
the fight Johnson can be depended
upon to remember that the picture
machine is stirring in the corner and
as long as he can he will be grace
full and picturesque.
1t is expected big crowd will be
on hand when the show begins to-
day and Johnson will go through all
his PAGES. After today he will do
only shadow boxing and hard work
will be a thing of the past.
With only light stunts ahead OF
him Johnson's trainers say the ne
gro should be able to pick up a few
pounds and that he will probably be
able TO enter the ring at the figure he
has planned to fight-21O pounds.

senting Jeffries, get together with

choice"
Johnson and his followers object
to Gleason because of his known
friendship for Jeff and Berge-. AL

preference known, 1t is believed they
will hold out for Welch or Graney.
Flanagan and Berger had an in
formal talk during the morning but
no agreement was reached. Flana.
gan fatty refused to accept Jack
Gleason.
He proposed the name of Francis
Nelson, of Toronto, one of the most
prominent sporting men of Canada.

Attorneys for DR.. Hyde used

Latshaw overruled a motion FOR a

"The evidence demonstrated q
