AN AERO PROTEST
Swiss Club Makes Charges About
International Balloon Race.
Management of Affairs in st.
Louis Is Questioned.

New York, Dec. 2S.-America's repre-
sentatives at the meeting of the Inter
national Aeronautic Federation in
Paris, January 10. are to face new
and unexpected protest.
The Swiss Aero club, according to a
communication received from the head
quarters of the federation, has filed Il
formal protest charging that the in
ternational balloon race held from st.
Louis in October was not organized
properly. The race was won by Messrs.
Hawley and Post in the America II. 1t
is understood that the Swiss club has
no fault to find with the race itself or
with it's results. but only with the
MANAGEMENT of affairs in st. Louis up
to the time the balloons left.
A statement by Cortlandt F. Bishop
regarding the matters under protest IS
as follows
Conditions at ST. Louis were not as
good as might have been desired, but
I have no reason to believe they were
not as good as possible. In spite OF
the fact that two features were not
satisfactory and served to handicap
The starting of the balloons, they were
started lust as promptly as when the
race was held in Zurich, Switzerland.
"Both the handicaps at st. Louis
were due to conditions over which the
Aero club of ST. Louis, which was in
charge. had no control. One was the
supply of gas, which was sufficient bus
slow. This was due to the fact that
the gas works were at the time under
roine a general overhauling and were
Unable to meet the demand in the de-
sired time. It took IL hours to fill the
balloons. whereas. if the works had

hours would have been ample for the
purpose.

STORM WAS GENERAL.
1t Extended From Milwaukee Down
Into Tennessee.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-A wet heavy snow
melting in the territory to the south
into a heavy downpour of rain swept
over the north central states early to-
day. Telegraph and telephone wires
were broken and message service was
almost closed down in the northern part
of the district. Steam and electric rail-
roads where service was constant found
little difficulty in maintaining schedules,
but on less frequently used lines trains
were much delayed.
Milwaukee and Lansing, Mich, were
at the north end of the storm belt and
heavy snow to a depth of to 10 inches
were reported. In Kentucky the snow
had changed torain and in Tennessee it
had become a dense fog.
Weather Forecaster Cuthbertson to-
day announced that outside of slight
showers or light snowfall this after
noon or evening the storm had passed
to the east.

TO BEGIN MARCH |.
A 800 Miles Extension to the Copper
River Railway.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 2S.-Work on
the extension of the Copper River &
Northwestern railroad toward Fair
banks, in the Tanana gold district,
will be begun about March l. when
the line to Kennecott is to be COM
pleted, according to information re-
cefved here. The northern extension
will begin at Chitina, and will be
pushed toward Fairbanks as rapidly as
possible. The distance from Chitina
t. Fairbanks is about 800 miles.
1t is estimated that the extension
will involve the expenditure of $780,
600, 900 and will be the largest project
yet undertaken in Alaska. Chitina is
$50 miles from Cordova, the ocean
terminus of the railroad.
Ever since the Inorganic uggenheim
interests began the construction of the
Copper River road, it has been known
that they were considering plans for
extending the line into the Tanana dis

G0NGS FOR AUTOS.
Compulsory Ordinance Before n. Y
Board of Aldermen.

New York. Dec. 2S.-All automobile
owners in New York city will be com
PEELED to equip their machines with
gongs, if an ordinance now before the
board of aldermen becomes a law. The
gongs are to be in addition to such
horns as may be in use already, the
intention of the ordinance being to
permit of a warning signal by drivers
in the event of their horns getting out
of order. Violation makes the often
der liable to a fine of from $25 to $50.
The National Highway association
will oppose the ordinance, declarin g
that Sin the first place such.a bill is
entirely unnecessary. Horns don't get
out of order. and if they do, a mans
voice is all that is necessary tenn
porarily. In the second place, to add
a lot of changing bells to the noises we
have already would be to turn the city
into a bedlam- 1t would make life
still more uncertain"

WORK OF THE RED CROSS
The Society Expended $262,5OO for
Relief This Year.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-Six disasters
will occur in the United States in 1911.
This is not the prediction of an astrol-
oyer, but of the American Red Cross
society taught by experience. 1t does
not undertake to say when or where
they will occur or whether they will
be caused by storm, fire, flood, earth
quake or explosion, but it is sure they
will come.
Statistics prove not only that an
average of five or six disasters, severe
enough to call aid from the Red Cross,
may be expected every year in the
United States, but the demands from
foreign countries are much more nu-
merous. Some idea of the character
and variety of the disasters with which
the Red Cross deals is given in the
review of the last twelve months. In
the United States one hurricane, one
mine fire, two mine explosions and
forest fires in Idaho, Montana, Oregon,
Washington and Minnesota called fof
HELP. Foreign calamities demanding
aid from the Red Cross included
foods in Mexico, France. Servia and
Japan; the Armenian massacres: tbs

HURT IN AUTO CRASH.
Wesley Cunningham Injured and
Hotchkiss Car Smashed.

Wesley Cunningham, deliveryman,
was injured, his team was badly cut
and bruised. and the front end of the
automobile belonging to E. L. Hotch-
kiss was wrecked when the machine
crashed into a delivery wagon of the
Shawnee grocery at the corner of
Eighth avenue and Harrison street last
night.
An unknown automobile, driven at a
high rate of speed. caused the acct
dent. 1t was about 1880 o'clock and
this car with headlights glaring
swung off Eighth from the east into
Harrison going north. The grocery
wagon was turning the same way from
the west. The machine driven by Hal
Hotchkiss was going south on Har-
rison. Cunningham says the speeding
car which turned into Harrison swung
far to the west side of Harrison street,
forcing him to pull into the left curb.
HotchkiSS jerked his car to the same
curb to avoid a collision with the out
coming car and says he was blinded
by the headlights and did not see the
grocery wagon until he had a horses
head in his lap.
The tongue of the wagon struck the
automobile radiator. twisting it off its
base, one horse was thrown up on top
of the hood, its head crashing through
the glass front, the other horse was
chucked under the engine between the
wheels, Cunningham was thrown from
his seat onto the pavement and Hotch-
kiss was crimped around his steering
wheel. The automobile which caused
the accident did not stop to investigate
and no one saw it's number.
Cunningham suffered the most seri-
| Gus injury in strain of his back He
| is not able to work today. The horse
| which went on top of the machine was
cut about the chest and neck but will

A peculiar feature of the accident
| is that the engine of the disabled car
| did not stop in the collision and
without water from the smashed radi-
ator, was able to pull the machine to
a garage. Besides the radiator, the
| tenders. lamps, fan and glass front
were broken.

Commander Sims has been ordered
to forward a. verbatim report of his
speech. According to the published
accounts, he said:
eff the time ever comes when the
British empire is seriously menaced
by an external enemy, it is my opin-
ion you may count upon every man,
every dollar, and every drop of blood
of your kindred across the seas
According to the cabled reports
from London, exception has been TAX
en- to the utterances from many quar-
tiers, and especially from Germany.
That Germany should take excep-
lions to the prophecy that America
would give its last dollar and last drop
lof blood to the defense of the Brit
ish empire is not regarded as surpris-
ling. American officers have been
warned repeatedly to abstain from in
vidious utterances that might mar in
lternational amenities The administra-

pie of the offenders, but a reprimand
lis considered sufficient punishment I'M

one.
