BALLOONISTS SAFE;
 WIN BENNETT CUP.
HaWIey and Post Land In WiIds
 of Canada, Near Quebec.

Alan R. Hawley and Augustus Post are alive and well and are the cham pion balloonists of the world. They have also won the international bal loon race, the prize for which was the James Gordon Bennett cup and $5,O00.
 After a seven days journey through the wilds of Chicoutimi county. they reached Chicoutimi and reported that they had landed safely at o'clock on the afternoon of Oct. 19.
 They have broken all worlds rec ords. the distance from St. Louis. whence they started in the information al race on Oct. IT. to the point where they landed being. according to the figures of the Aero club officials of St. Louis, 1,520 miles by the most direct line from the starting place.
 They came down only because of storm, and their only regret is that they could not have gone on to the Labrador coast. MT. Post said on ar irving at Chicoutimi: We had beau tiful trip. We crossed Lake Michigan and Lake Huron and followed what I should judge to be the route of the proposed Georgia bay canal, and, if you ask me, there is water enough in that section of the country not only to suit the canal, but to float all the ships of the world.
 "Then we crossed the Ottawa and f1oated over the forests of northern Quebec, passing over innumerable lakes and rivers. The country below us always was densely wooded Final ly on the morning of Oct. 19 we found that we were north of Lake St John and going we'll, and we had hopes that we would be able to continue the trip until we struck the Labrador coast.
 unfortunately about o'clock the same afternoon a storm came up and it became necessary to make landing. We picked out a mountain and came down upon 1t and made an easy land ing on the mountainside at an eleva- tion of about 1,500 feet" .,..

.BALLlNGER SCORES ONE
Gets One "vindication' in Hearing
Charge of Sinking Duty Expunsed
From Court Record-Decision Rem
dered is Land injunction Suit.

Washington, May s.-Secretary Bal.
linger received what might be called
one vintfication in the supreme court OF
the District of Columbia today, when
the charge that he had sfirked his duty
as secretary of the interior was order
ed expunged from the record.
In the injunction proceedings in con-
nection with the Homestead claims on
the Siietz Indian reservation in Ore
gon. the petition alleged that because
Ballinger as a lawyer had been counsel
for some Of the claimants, he refused
to pass upon the case when he came in
to office. and delegated the work to his
first assistant, Frank Pierce, and had
therefore refused to give the benefit of
his Judgment and had therefore shirk-
ed his duty. Ballinger denied the inn
putation, declaring the cases had been
referred to Pierce in the regular course
of business, as the latter had direct
charge of the general land office affairs,
and the court therefore struck out the
charge.

ers. Open threats were made to agitate
boycott among the farmers against the
meeting at the coliseum. at which the
president is to make a public address.
The trouble arose over the entertain
ment plans for the president made by
the Business Mems League of st. Louis.
The farmers declare the city residents
have been given monopoly of the ex-
ecutive's time. Feeling ran SO high in
the convention that a resolution was
drawn UP calling on the farmers to adj
journ to East ST. Louis, ILL.,, to hold the
remainder of the convention. Action
on the resolution was deferred until to-
morrow afternoon.
President Tafts discussion of the
Payne tariff law, which is expected to
be the feature of his address at the

to questioning OF the speaker by del
egates to the convention, If it Is de-
cided to attend the meeting, according

VAST SUM IN RAIL WAGES.
w. c. Brown Says Increase in Pay
Rolls Will Be $fOO, 900 900 for Year.

Chicago. May 3--The advances al
ready made in the wages of organized
railway labor and those yet to be made
during 1910 VIII. according to w. c.
Brown, president OF the New York Gen.
trail Lines, cost the railroads OF the
country fully s100.o00,o00 annually
The increases In wages Viii bring the
total paid to approximately $l,a27,233.-
900 every twelve months.
The latter figure Is arrived ut by Mr..
Brown by taking the statistics or the
interstate commerce commission as "a
basis and estimating the operating ex-
penses of the railroads for the present
year from the monthly reportsS now
available. Applying the percentage OF
labor cost TO the total operating cx-
penses and adding the Increased wages
gives this enormous total The advance
in the wages paid railroad employees
during the last three years is shown by
the fact that during 1907 the railroads
paid n total of s1.072.3S6.00o for labor.
which was an increase OF 10 per cent
over 1906. Wages were not reduced
during 1907 when business fell Off. SO
that year this years advances will no
on top OF the advances made IN 1906,
which added fully 500. 600 90 10 the an

AWAITS REPORT FROM SIMS.
Department. Of Justice at Washington
May Act in Butter Quiz.

Department OF justice at washington
May Act in Butter Quiz.
Washington, May 3.-It was learned
at the department. of justice that Dis
trict Attorney Sims Of Chicago has not
completed his investigation Of methods
used by exchanges in his district in
fixing prices of food products. 1t is ex-
pected he soon will have his report
ready. While awaiting the information
the department of justice is making q
thorough study Of antitrust decisions
for the purpose of determining how far
the Sherman law goes in the direction
Of prohibiting such conditions as have
been found to obtain upon the Elgin
board Of trade.
1t has been discovered that the de-
partrent of agriculture in an investi-
cation under the pure food law collect
ed considerable data concerning the
Elgin board Of trade of value to the
department Of justice, and call has
been made for it. The department of
agriculture found that all butter pro-
duced in the territory covered by the
operations of the Elgin board of trade
is marked "Elgn'' butter, and it was
for the purpose of determining wheth-
er this labelling was permissible under
the pure food act that the agricultural
department. conducted it's inquiry.
From information obtainable at the
department of justice it appears that
there is grave doubt whether any Of
the transactions so far disclosed in the
Investigation Indicate an offense under
the antitrust laws.

dispatch from Washington dealing with
the critical situation in which the adj
ministration railroad bill has been
placed. The president would make no
comment for publication regarding the
attitude of the insurgents toward the
measure. That he holds the insurgents
responsible for legislative delay is now
fully recognized. Taft is far from hav-
ing lost all hope, but it is believed that
he is plainly discoura ged by the lack on
support from the men who nominally
belong to the party of which he is the
titular head. AS there seems to be a
lack Of working majority in either
branch of congress, the chances for the
various administration measures seem
anything but bright.
