Relief Expeditions to Search
for Pilots and Aides of the
Missing Balloons.

ST. Louis. Oct 21.-Relief expedi-
lions TO search for the pilots and
aides of the four missing balloons,
Azurea, Dusseldorf II, Germania and
America H. which started in the in
ternational race here Monday, will
be started from Toronto Sunday. if
no news is received from the aero
nauts before that time This an
nouneement was made tonight by OFF,
Gals of the Aero club OF St. Louis.
The situation in reference TO the
unrepOrted balloons assumed a most
serious aspect tonight 1t is believed
here that the men have landed some
where in the wilds of Canada, where
they may be the victims of starvation
before succOr can reach them.
The Aero club tonight called upon
| General James Allen. chief of the
United States signal corps at WASH
| ington, ID. c.. to have the revenue
cutters patrOling the great lakes look
for wreckage in Lake Huron. Steam
ship companies which have vessels
plying Lake Huron and Georgian

| its lieutenant governor, j. NJ. Gibson,
tonight notified the club that it would
/ assist in the search for the missing
men. The Hudson Bay company also
| has replied favOrably TO a request for
assistance sent from here today
IL was announced tonight that a
! representative OF the Aero club would
/ be sent TO Toronto 10 organize the re-
/ lief expeditions. The Germania IL
considered among the missing bal
looms despite the fact that it has been
reported from Ville-Marie, Pontiac
/ county. Quebec, and other points. 1t
was so reported Wednesday from PO-
gamassing. Ontario, but it afterwards
developed that Alfred lie Blanc's bal
| loon Isle de France was meant in the
| dispatches.
All the balloons should have been
down and reported by Wednesday
night, according to the Aero club Of
| ficials. and the fact that more than a
/ hundred hours have elapsed since the
start of the race and the fact that
neither Pilots Messner, Gericke, HaW-
ley or Abercron or their aids have
reported, has given rise TO grave APP
/ prehensiOn for their safety.
1t was pointed out that the great
est danger is anticipated in the case
of a balloon having descended in
| Georgian bay. This stretch of water
| contains more than 80. 000 islands of
all sizes. where the aeronauts might
perish before relief could arrive.

the attending physicians. The prison
er's folks, residing in California, re-
quested his release in order that he
might be taken 10 that state, where
IL was thought, on account Of more

recover. II was made TO appear that
il he were kept confined in the peni-
Tertiary he would likely not live TO
serve out his term OF sentence, and the
other prisoners might contract the dis

was taken TO California by his friends.

fun term ana had gone forth and
proven himself worthy of ii, nor one
who had served his term within few

IN six other cases where prisoners
We're pardOned, il was made to appear
by a transcript OF the record or by

doubt existed as 10 the guilt OF the

cases il was made TO appear that the
prisoner was charged with the crime Of
adultery. Upon a preliminary hearing

that there was no evidence whatever
showing the commission OF such an OF
Tense; thereupCn the committing mag
