The Dusseldorf Wins Race.

st. Louis, Oct. 24.-The German
balloon Dusseldorf won the inter-
national balloon race for the Gordon
Bennett Cup, according to the revised
figures OF the st. Louis Aero Club to-
day. The Dusseldorf reported Satur-
day night, the landing place being
measured as l, $40 miles from st. Louis.
This beats the Germanla, first reported
the winner, by about 40 miles, and
Gericke and Perkins, crew OF the Dus-
seldorf, will be awarded the cup unless
the America II is found at point still
further away than the Dusseldorf.
Toronto, Ont, 24.-Up to noon to-
day none of the provincial government
departments had received any definite
word about the missing racing balloon
America II, from st. Louis. 1t is be-
Iieved, however, that the America
came down in the wilds Of Algoma and
not in the Lake st. John region, Que
bee.
st. Louis, Oct. ga telegram from
Thompsonville, Mich, received this
morning by Albert Bond Lambert,
president OF the Aero Club OF st. Louis.
contains information regarding Alan r.
Hawley and Augustus Post in the miss
ing balloon America III. 1t eliminates
to some extent the growing fear that
the aeronauts had fallen into Lake
Huron or persisted in Eastern Quebec,
unable to return to civilization.
The telegram says: America III
passed over here Tuesday, course due
north. A farmer asked us to report
these facts. Balloon passed west OF st.
Ignance, Mich, and was inst over
Suttons Bay at dark. Talked with
people eight miles north of our town,
who saw lettering on balloon.

Call for Aid a Hoax.

Newport, r. J., Oct. 24.-Every
wireless equipped steamer within range
today is searching for the tank steamer
Oklahoma, which last night supposed
ly signalled for aid, but neglected to
give her position. Failure to find hel
caused some TO think the call false. and
gave Others serious anxiety. From
here to the Nantucket Shoals lghtship
the revenue cutter Acushnet has made
a search without avail, and all this coast
has been cross-crossed from wireless
station to station in the hope of locat-
ing the snip, but without success.
The call for help was first heard by
the Acushnet when she was near
Woods Hole, but communication was
broken in minute and the revenue
cutter repeated the word all up and
down the coast, putting to sea herself
in the search.
The Oklahoma, Captain Gunter, is q
steel screw steamship Of 1896 tons,
built at Camden, n. j., in 1908, and
owned by the j. NJ Guffey Petroleum
Company. Its sailing port is Port Ar
thur. 1t is 419 feet long and So fee
in breadth.
In the absence of any further work
up to noon, direct or indirect from the
Oklahoma, the authorities OF the nava
wireless station here who were in com
munication with stations all up anC
down the coast, declared their belize
that the call for aid was hoax. o.
the ships communicated with, mont
had seen or heard OF the Oklahoma
being in trouble.
Newport, R. l., Oct. 24.-The Iwire'
less dispatch picked up last night re-
porting the oil tanker Oklahoma sink
ing off the coast was fake. The
revenue cutter Acushnet picked up the
Oklahoma this afternoon and received
a report that she was all right, south
ward bound to Port Arthur, Tex, and
had sent no wireless for help.

Roosevelt on His Tour.

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct. 24.-Theodore
Roosevelt today returned to the attack
on John A. Dix, democratic candidate
for governor, in a speech from the
Itaca Hotel balcony. A handful OF
people heard the speech i'll which
Roosevelt denounced Dix as member
of the wall paper trust.
indianapolis, Oct. 24.-When Theo-
dore Roosevelt said in his Indiana
polls speech that he bad no fear as to
the outcome of the fight Of Senator Al
bert j. Beverage for reelection to the
United States Senate, he made a
broader observation than careful OBJ
servers of Indiana politics are willing to
make today. With the campaign with
in two weeks OF an end, conservative
politicians are a unit in declaring that
conditions are so confusing that they
do not care publicly to make a pre-
diction.
A feature Of this campaign is the re-
ticence of the voters. The thirty-day
poll shows that there are thousands of
voters who will not state their inten-
tons.
Efforts of members OF both parties
to poll their own precincte have failed.
At Anderson and Columbus, where the
latest precinct polls have been attempt
ed, one-third OF the democrats and re-
publicans declined to say how they
would vote. This phase Of the situa-
ton worries the leaders.
County option and the liquor ques-
ton are paramount issues. Senator
Beveridge and the republican leaders
have been careful to avoid the subject.
The democratic candidates have gone
at the temperance issue strong. and 1t
will not be surprising, according to
party leaders Of both sides, il it plays a
prominent part in legislative districts
where the contests are close. Both
sides are drawing big crowds at the
political meetings and both are pre-
diciing victory. Senator Beverldge's
managers claim they will have at least
% majority on joint ballot. The demo-
Gratis claim that John Kern will have a
majority of at least 20 on joint ballot,
and maybe forty.
New York, Oct. 24.-Because Miss
Field and Abraham Zaks refuse to
postpone their wedding, scheduled
for Oct. %, Col. Theodore Roosevelt
if he keeps his engagement to speak in
the Brownsville section of Brooklyn
on that night will have to speak in a
brewery. The only public hall in that
section has been engaged for the
wedding and reception and the bride
and groom to be positively refuse to
give way to the Roosevelt meeting.
So Reuben l.. Haskell, republican
leader in the district, has secured an
option on the ball in Trommer's brew
cry, next door to Evergreen Cemetery
and will hold the Roosevelt meeting
there.

THE Crippen trial, which closed in

THE Crippen trial, which closed in
London on Saturday with the prisoner S
conviction. after half an hours delib-
Grafton by the jury, was in many re-
spects a model exhibition OF the proc
esses of criminal law. The jury was
obtained expeditiously and the time
was not wasted by irrelevant discussion.
The lord chief justice assisted the jury
by incisive questions, especially when
expert witnesses we're likely to bewilder
them with technicalities. He also pro-
tected witnesses Exposed to cross ex-
animation, and was helpful to Crlppen
himself at critical stages OF the test
mony. Counsel on both sides were
kept under restraint and were not al
lowed to abuse their privileges by In
PRODUCING unfair comment when they
we're examining witnesses or dealing
with the experts. The manners OF
counsel we're perfect and the lord chief
Justice both in the general conduct OF
the case and in his lucid charge to the
Jury. was the embodiment of impair
tiality.

FROM WASHINGTON

President Taft will make no announc-
ment regarding the man be will choose
to fill the places Of the new Commerce
Court, nor the vacancies on the supreme
bench, until the day on which Con-
gress meets. This semi-ollicial an
nouncement came from the White
House today to meet the pressure
which has been brought on the presi-
dent by the friends of couple of hun
dred candidates for the jobs. The
president now has the following offer
ings: One chief justiceship and one
associate justiceship Of the Supreme
Court OF the United States; five places
ON the Commerce Court, the appointees
10 which must be circuit judges, five
circuit Judges TO take the place Of those
elevated to the Commerce Court, and
probably a successor to Interstate Com
merce Commissioner f. NJ. Cockrell,
whose term expires in December and
who will probably retire. 4 lawyer
will also be selected by the president to
succeed the late Lloyd W. Bowers as
solicitor general.
A Insurance that is now making
over rhe North Pacific Ocean will, ac-
cording to Chief Moore, of the United
States Weather Bureau, cause unsettled
and rainy weather for the first part Of
this week in the North Pacific States
and in the latter part of the week will
cause like conditions in the middle and
northern states from the Missouri Val
ley to the Atlantic coast. Following
this wave, Professor Moore declares,
a moderate cool wave will advance
eastwardly across the country. 1t is
expectee that this iwave will reach the
Atlantic States by the last OF the week.

CLASS BLOWERS, DAY.

Written for the Alexandria Gazette.
With healthy northwest wind and
a beautiful clear sky to welcome them
and the high Virginia hills contiguous
TO the resting place OF a handsome
houseboat shielding the guests from
cold or other obstacles, with mighty
oak paying its tribute to old boreas as
it whisted through its limbs scattering
its leaves in all directions, the glass
blowers OF Alexandria entertained and
we're highly entertained at beautiful
Belmont yesterday. As soon as the sun
shone its face yesterday morning bid
ding adieu to the fearful storm OF the
two days previous happy hearts, free
from the thoughts Of the work shops

enough to carry the enormous crowd,
sailed forth, leaving the other guests to
journey in the electric train. Belmont
yesterday was the Atlantic City of this
vicinity. The glassblowers, who do
not do things by halves a whole souled
jovial set, were masters Of the sltua-
ton. What they overlooked the
thoughtful Martin Quinn prepared and
with host like him mistake seems
impossible. Oysters in abundance were
there; lunch of every description was
in evidence. and pleasure was ruled
the hour. About a hundred were in
the party, but like a street car, there
was room for one more. The merri-
ment was so great that the massive oak
took notice in its waving branches, the
birds sang more sweetly, and every one
seemed as happy as lift was his wedding
day. II was truly feast OF reason and
flow of soul. Among the officials
who participated in the pleasure OF the
day were Messrs. VIM. Wells, presi-
dent of the Alexandria Glass Works;
James Barrett, secretary OF the same
company, Isaac Griever. Charles Baker,
directors. From the Old Dominion
we're Messrs. Schwarzman, Hale, Luns-
worth and Harry Edwards. From the
Belle Pre- we're Messrs. Norton, Crump,
G. Kidner. From the Old Virginia

Der s-Miss Leneve Faints when
Told of the Doctors Fate.
London, Oct. 24.-FoIlowing a con-
ference with the prison authorities,
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone today
definitely fixed the date for the hang
Jag OF DIR. II. H. Crippen, convicted on
Saturday of the murder of his wife,
Belle Elmore, for Tuesday November,
8. Crippeu's attorneys are already
preparing for their appeal to the Court
Of Criminal Appeals, although it is adj
mitted that there is only the slightest
chance that this body will interfere
with the decision of the lower court.
Crippen had recovered his composure
today and continued to protest his in
nocence. When offered religious con-
ISOLATION he became indignant and said
that he was more interested in getting
his rights than in listening to priest.
Crippeh will be hanged in Penton-
vile prison should his appeal fail, as is
expected, unless the home secretary
intervenes and recommends to the
crown that he be reprieved.
Miss Leneve is Frustrated today. She
had fully expected that DIR. Crippen
would be acquitted, thus necessitating
her own release. When she received
the word that Crippen had been con-
victed and sentenced to death she
tainted and it was some time before the
prison doctor could restore her to con-
seriousness. She is now apprehensive
OF the outcome OF her own trial on a
charge OF accessory after the fact, which
will begin tomorrow.
So far as the scope OF the appeal is
concerned Attorney Newton said today
that it was uncertain. He cannot de-
eide until he has had a conference with
his client and he today asked the au-
thorities TO authorize the interview.

BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.

In Chicago on Saturday evening the
Cubs defeated the Athletics in the
fourth game OF the worlds champion
ship baseball series, TO 3, in sensa-
tional finish.

pions OF the world. They won that

defeating the Cubs, champions OF the
National League, by the score OF 7 to 2.
The largest crowd that has ever at

profitable ever played, it helps to SIM
plify the high cost of living problem
confronting even such heroes as the
Philadelphia Athletics, to say nothing
OF the Chicago Cubs with winter conf
ing on. The players share OF the
money amounts to $40, 071.93. OF this
60 per cent, or SAT ,44S. 10, goes to the
winners and $31, 62S.77 to the losers.
As there are % players on each team
eligible to participate, each Of the Phil
adelphians is entitled in round num-
bers to $1,000 and each Chicagoan to

send off when they took their special
train for home last night.
