The convention has been a success
say the delegates and the members of
the local committee. eight thousand
is a conservative estimate of the at
tendance" said Rev. Charles A. Finch
pastor of the First Christian church
of Topeka this noon.
Last year at Pittsburg it was es-
timated that $4,000 were in attendance
at the convention, and still, the reg
istration was only six thousand. Our
registration up to this time has been
four thousand. and if we estimate the
crowd at 5000 this would mean that
a higher percentage of the delegates
have registered than at any previous
convention. A great many persons es-
innate the attendance at 10000.
'I fully believe that there were at
least six thousand persons at the COM
munion service on the state house
grounds Sunday. The convention has
been q pronounced success. This is
what the delegates are saying"
Just at that moment an enthusiastic
Southern woman interrupted the con-
versation by saying, "Oh Brother
Finch, you folks have entertained us
just royalty"
Everyone says the arrangements -
continued Mr.. Finch, ''were superior
those at Pittsburg last year, and
everybody is happy The only criti-
cism I could pass would be that the
committee prepared for a larger crowd
than came-prepared for 15,000-but
that was no fault of theirs. Great
praise is due r. Keith Wilson. and T.

Walter Wellman in His Dirigible
Balloon America
Passes Out OF Touch With the
Wireless Stations.
ALL RECORDS BEATEN.
For Duration of Flight in the
Airship Class.
His Last Message Was Sent at
l2:45 Sunday.

New York, Oct. 17.-If Walter Well
man is still in the air he has already
won for himself a worlds record by
outdoing all previous feats with dirig-
ibles so far as time in the air is con-
cerned. At 9:13 o'clock last night he
equaled the mark of 81 hours of con-
tinuous flight in a dirigible which was
set by Count Zeppelin and has not
heretofore been approached by any of
the others.
At sunrise today Wellman had al
ready covered about fourth of the
distance to- Ireland, according to COM
putationS of probabilities as figured
by balloon experts here. They figure
that the balloon had made about 400
miles at p. m. yesterday and that
the continuing strong west wind would
drive them for the next sixteen hours
at the rate of from 15 to 90 miles an
hour By o'clock this morning then
she must have been nearly 700 miles
from Atlantic City, or approximately
one-fourth of the way across the At
lantic. From Atlantic City to the near
est point on the coast of Ireland is
$500 miles.
Headed for Sable Island.
Boston, Oct 17.-Walter WelIman's
airship America had not communicated
with ships so far as known up to
O'Clock this morning since sending his
last reassuring message at 12:45 D.

ible balloon passed the night and morn
ing hours about three, or four hundred
miles from the New England shore
heading for Sable Island, N. S.
1t was expected the wireless station
there would be able to communicate
with the America before noon.

! port as to the progress of Walter Well

No Word From WeIIman.

munication this morning with the

none of the steamers has seen or

The Finland reports that a heavy

EoU1L1BRAToR MAKES TROUBLE
Significant Message Received From
WeIIman on Sunday.

New York Oct. T.-Somewhere be-
tween Siasconsett and Sandy Hook the
liner Arabic, which arrived here early
this morning must have passed Walter
Wellman'S airShip America. sailing rap
idly eastward through the fog. But
though a sharp lookout was kept for the
big balloon and though the liners wire
less operator was listening alersly for
the ''W' code signal of the airship, not
a sign of her was seen or heard. From
the SiasconSett wireless station, details
of the start and copies of messages sent
landward by the aerial voyagers, had
informed the officers and passengers of
the Arabic early on Sunday that the
new ocean-going airship was likely to
| cross their path during the day and
everybody was on deck eager to catch
a view of her through a lucky rift in
! the fog cloud, or if no rift came, to
hear the throb of her engines as she
passed.
The Arabic is the first of about
dozen incoming ships whose course must
| have crossed that of the America dur
| ing the past "a hours. 1t is regarded as
unlikely that any of them saw the bal
loon or heard the engines, for the fog
which hung persistently all day must
have prevented any sighting of the
Wellman craft, while dispatches from
Siasconsett indicate that the engines
were silent for much of the time. while
| the balloon drifted before a 25-knot
breeze toward her destination.
| R6rhapS the most OIL lne
messages from Wellman before he got
beyond reach of the wireless apparatus
at Siasconsett was the following receiv-
ed shortly before noon yesterday:
1.-The equiibrator is jerking on the
airship as it leaps from wave to wave,
but no damage has been done.

we are south of Nantucket.

the sea, where its rising and falling

within a narrow range of altitude and
to avoid the necessity of letting gas
out of the bag when the heat Of the

In the first game of the series for the
worlds championship between the
Chicago Cubs and the local American
league team, the latter were easy win
ners by the score of 4 to l. Bender,
who did the twirling for the home
team, was never in better form and.
up to the ninth inning, when the Wis
itors scored one run on two hits, they
had made only one single, and that in
the first inning by Schultz. The chief
also struck out eight of the Chicago
batsmen. Overall, who started in to
pitch for the Cubs, was taken out of
the game at the end of the third in
ming, after the Athletics had made six
hits and scored three of their four
runs. Mcintyre, who succeeded him,
held the locals safe until the eighth
inning, when a base on balls, wild
throw by Mcintyre and Bakers double
against the right field fence scored an
other run. The Athletics fielding was
without a flaw until the final inning,
when Thomas dropped Tinker's little
foul pop and Strunk later fumbled
the same players grounder to center.
The Chicago team also fieIded well,
but were powerless before Bender's
superb pitching.
Philadelphia, Oct. IA double line

early in the morning, completely sur
