If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and

In Series Of Accidents
Which Befs| Balloon.
Pommern Breaks Away IN Huf-
TIcane Before BaIIasted.


Stettin. Germany, April 3.-The Ger
man balloon Pommern. which made an
ascension here this afternoon. met with
series of accidents which ended in
a disaster under most tragic circum-
stances in the air. Three men lost their
lives, including the radical member OF
the Reichstag, Werner Hugo Del Bru-
eek Herr Del Brueck and another
member OF the party were drowned
third occupant was picked up un-
conscious and died from his injuries
while the fourth was rescued in a SER
ious condition.
The Pommern, carrying Del Brueck
who was acting as pilot, a banker,
Herr Semmelhardt. an architect, Herr
Benduhn and a man named Helm, as
cended early in the afternoon at the
gas works. The wind at the time was
blowing hurricane, and the Pommern
broke away before she had been COM
pletely ballasted.
A chapter of accidents began imme-
diateiy. The balloon collided with tel
overturning the basket. 1t then dashed
into a roof Of a neighboring factory,
destroying the smokestack. With the
backet swaying wildly. and half Of its
ropes cut, the balloon scared to a
great altitude and disappeared in the
clouds at terrific speed.
Thousands of on-lookers, including
IL detachment of military, which had
assisted in the ascent, ran along the
roads, expecting the basket to break
away The balloon, however, was not
seen again until it reached Swine
munde, SO miles northwest of Stettin,
over which it passed at a height of
5000 feet in the direction of the sea.
Tugs followed in it's track and one of
them which had Outdistanced the 9TH
ers, was almost directly under it when
suddenly the balloon fell into the sea.
The tug steamed to the spot quickly
but the rescue work was difficult. AL
ready Del Brueck and Benduhn had
disappeared, but Semmelhardt and
Helm were clinging to the ropes. and
they were dragged aboard the vessel
Helm died soon after being taken on
the tug and Del Brueck's body was
washed ashore this evening.
