AUTO TIRES STOLEN.
Three Taken from Private Garage In
Burlington.


Burlington, Oct. 20 Sheriff Allen is
closely scrutinizing big automobiles
these days. The sheriff is looking for
three new tires that were stolen Mon
day night from the private garage owned
by George H. Allen on the Allen estate,
south of the city.
The tires were in portion of the
garage which was not locked. There
were two Az by 36 inch tires and one
5 by 36 inch tire. One Of the tires was
of foreign make, while the other two
were of American design.
Where the tires are is mystery. Be-
sides taking the new tires, the burglars
broke open the lockers and took about
ten new inner tubes. 1t is thought that
the robbery must have occurred about
ten o'clock Monday night. The tires
were not missed until Tuesday morning,
when the sheriff was notified
According to the story Of the robbery,
some one on the estate heard dog bark
late Monday night and thought they
heard wagon driving through the
woods near the garage. As the roads
through the estate are open to the pub
lie, no suspicion was aroused by this
occurrence.
The garage, which was erected this
summer, stands some distance from the
house and it would have been an easy
matter to drive to the building with
a light wagon after dark without at
tracing unusual attention
1t is not thought that the tires could
be disposed of here as the sheriff has
the numbers and the tires can be de-
tected if used on an automobile Sher-
iG Allen visited the Allen estate yes
terday and looked the ground over about
the garage. No trace of the burglars
could be obtained.

WELLMAN TELLS
CAUSE OF FAILURE
Direct Cause Was Exhaustion of the
Supply of Gasoline-He Has a
Bruised Hand.

New York, Oct 90 Walter Wellman
and his five companions We're landed here
yesterday 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 At
lantic through the air. A bruised right
hand whien Wellman carried in sling,
was the only physical injury that re-
suited from their long voyage of approx
imately 900 miles, and rescue the
like OF which is unknown to all his-
tory.
None Of the aeronauts expressed re-
g1et for the loss of the America They
agreed that it had served its purpose
and taught its lesson All stand ready
to renew the attempt as soon as Well
man and his engineers find a way to
conquer the difficulties that brought
their first trip to its thrilling end Tues
day morning, 400 miles southeast of
Sandy Hook.
Standing on the deck Of the Trent,
clad in the same suit Of khaki he wore
when he and his crew launched the
america" last Saturday at Atlantic
City. Wellman made the statement:
I'VE thought we could not get along
without the equilibrator Now we find
we couldn't get along with it. Our
plans for the future are indefinite until
we find something that will do what
we thought the equilibrator would do
The "equilibrator' to which Wellman
attributes the failure Of his voyage was
the series OF tanks containing gasoline
which floats in the water attached to
the airship by a long rope. Its purpose
in addition to storing gasoline and sery-
ing as a wireless ground" was to keep
the balloon steady, compensating for the
expansion and contraction of the gas due
TO changes in temperature which
would nave made the America rise
or sink erraticalIy. The "America'ss ex-
perience proved that this floating tail.
jerking at the delieately poised airship,
made it impossible to steer or make
headway in the desired direction and Sc
verely weakened the structure. To find
another means of compensating for this
unavoidable change in the volume of gas
is the problem to which Wellman and
his engineer Melvin Vaniman, viii now
devote their attention.
The direct cause for abandoning the
"America" was the exhaustion Of the
supply Of gasoline, which had to be
thrown out 10 save the snip until, when
the crew abandoned the balloon, only
enough was left to last about twenty
four hours.
