WELLMAN MAY TRY TO
CROSS OCEAN AGAIN
IN The near future

New York, Oct. 19.-Walter Well
man and his five companions were
landed here this afternoon by the
steamship Trent, which picked them
up at sea after they had abandoned
their dirigible balloon America. and
failed in the first attempt ever made
to cross the Atlantic through the air.
A bruised right hand which Wellman
carried in sling was the only physi-
cal injury that resulted from their
long voyage of approximately 900
miles, and rescue the like of which
is unknown to all history.
None O. the aeronauts expressed
regret for the loss Of the America.
They agreed that it had served it's
purpose and taught it's lesson. All
stand ready to renew the attempt as
soon as Wellman and his engineers
find a way to conquer the difficulties
that brought their first trip to it's
brilliant end last Tuesday morning
four hundred miles southeast of Sandy
Hook.
Standing on the deck Of the Trent,
clad in the same suit of Kaki he wore
when he and his crew launched the
America last Saturday at Atlantic
City, Wellman made this statement:
I'VE thought we could not get along
without the equilibrator. Now we find
we could not get along with it. Our
plans for the future arc indefinite un.
til we find something that will do
what We thought the equilibrator
would do"
The "equilibrator" to which Well
man attributes the failure of his voy-
age, was the series of tanks contain
ing gasoline, which flOated in the wat
er attached to the airship by long
rope. Its purpose, in addition to stor-
ing gasoline and serving as wireless
ground" was to keep the balloon
steady, compensating for the expan-
sion and contraction of gas due to
changes in the temperature, which
would have made the America rise or
sink erratically.
The Americas experience proved
that this floating tail, jerking at the
delicately posed airship, made it i'm
possible to steer or make headway in
the desired direction and severely
weakened the structure. To find an
other means Of compensating for this
change in the volume of
gas is the problem to which Wellmna
and his engineer, Melvin Vaniman,
will devote their attention.
The direct cause of abandoning the
At, nf hn
supply of gasoline, which had to be
thrown out to save the ship for when
the crew abandoned the balloon only
enough was left to last about twenty
four hours.

s BALLOONS STILL

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct 19.-Five of the
ten balloons which started in the in
ternational contest here Monday after
noon, are tonight believed to he rae

Ontario, though no official news had
been received from them at a late
hour.
Isle DeFrance, Alfred Leblanc, pilot
and Walter DeMum, aid, descended
near Pogamasing, Ontario, in for.
est at o'clock. The French aeronaut
had travelled 725 miles northwest of
st. Louis, and had remained in the
air thirty-four hours and thirty-six
minutes. Isle DeFrance was the
fourth balloon to alight.
Foll' other racers were reported to.
night to be flying over Lake Huron
and Georgian Bay, from six hundred
to seven hundred miles northeast Of
St. Louis.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Fears that a rain
storm threatened by the United
States weather bureau would preevnt
the first western game between the
Philadelphia American league baseball
team and the Chicago Nationals to-
morrow were partly allayed tonight.
The weather bureau revised it's esti-
mate made during the day and tonight
asserted that if any rain falls it will
be in the morning and will not be suf.
ficient to interfere with the game.
In spite of this no hopes are held
out for a continuation of the warm
weather of the first two games. A
drop in the temperature that may
mean discomfort and overcoats for
the spectators is assured.
With the return of the twice defeat
ed Chicago Nationals, and the arrival
of the victorious American team to.
day, supporters of the western men
took on new hopes.
The team reached Chicago early in
the afternoon In two sections Of .

special train, travelling about ten min
utes apart. They made the trip from
Philadelphia in a little more than sew
enteen hours and cheers from the
crowds gathered at nearly every sta
ton indicated an interest in the base:
ball players scarcely second to that
shown presidential train.
Manager Mack asserted tonight
that he did not know what pitcher
he would use.
"I can't tell who will be used in
either of the Chicago games," he de-
clared, "and I won't know until
reach the field"
Despite this there is a well defined
feeling that either Plank or Coombs
will pitch the first game for the east
erners and that Bender, the Indian,
who puzzled the Chicago batters last
Monday, will pitch Friday.
Either Pfeister or Reulbach is ex-
pected to be in the pitchers box for
the Nationals tomorrow with the likh.
hood of Cole for Friday.

Eight months BABY
BURNED TO Death

Egeland, (Towner County, Oct. 19-
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Sand, about two miles east of Crocus
was the scene of very sad occurrence
Their little eight months old baby was
playing in the house in room where
an oil heater was being used and in
some way the child pulled the stove
over onto itself setting it's clothing
afire and before Mrs. Sands or any
of the children were aware of what
had happened the little one was in the
midst of mass of flames.
The mother rescued the child and
put out the flames and DR.. Lindner
was at once summoned and arrived
there short time after the accident,
but the burn was so serious that the
child died an hour later.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL
LAW WILL BE
STRICTLY ENFORCED.

By Associated Press.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 19.-ln a
formal order issued late today, the in
nounced it's intention to administer
strictly the long and short hau. pro-
vision of the recently amended inter-
state commerce act. The order was
the outgrowth of a hearing held by
the commission 'wo weeks ago on the
matter of the application of interstate
carriers generally for relief under that
haul provision. BY the terms of the
order there will be no change in the
existing status or in the present rights
Of carriers until Feb. II, 1911.
They may file with the commission
such changes in rates and tariffs as
ordinarily would be filed in the course
Of their business under the present
rate basis or adjustment. This &C.
cords to the transportation companies
fares to intermediate points and thru
rates or fares higher than the COM
binations of the intermediate rates or
fares. provided that in so doing the
discrimination against intermediate
points is not made greater than that
in existence on August II, 1910.
The commission announced that
through this permission it does not
necessarily approve any rates or
fares that may be filed, all of them
being held subject to complaint, in
vestigation and correction if they be
found in conflict with the law.
-,
reaffrm it's previously expressed view
that through rate or fare that is
higher than the combination of the
intermediate rates or fares is prima
facie unreasonable and will insist up
on the application of that principle at
the earliest possible date in every in
stance except possibly extreme and
very unusual cases."
