FIVE ARE KILLED
WHEN DIR|GIBLE
BALLOON BURSTS
Victims FrightfulIy Torn in Fall
of Several Hundred Yards
to Death.
GERMAN AERONAUT OSCAR
ERBSLOCH WAS PILOT
Gained Fame BY Winning Inter-
national Race from st. Louis
to Asbury Park.

LEICHLINGEN. Rhenish Prussia,
July 1s.-oscar Erbsloeh. the German
who won the international balloon race
at st. Louis in 1907, and four COM
panions were killed today when the
dirigible balloon burst at a height of
several hundred yards and dropped to
the earth crumpled mass. The dead
are:
Oscar Erbsloeh, inventor and bal
loonist.
Herr Toelle. manufacturer. of Bar
men.
Engineer Kranz.
Engineer Hoeppe.
Motorman Spicke
| The Erbsloeh was constructed last
year and had a dubious career. The
first time 1t descended 1t crashed into
clump of trees and its occupants mar
rowly escaped injury A few days ago,
during trial flight, a propeller was
broken. The balloon. which was of
the non-rigid type, had just been made
over preparatory to the establishment
OF passenger service between Elber-
field and nearby points. Today 1t was
inflated for a final test by the crew
The ascent was made near Opladen
and during a fog.
There were few eye-witnesses to the
accident. According to these the start
was well made. The Erbsloeh rose
gracefully, pushing its way through the
fog to height estimated at several
hundred yards. At this altitude a se-
ries OF evoIutions was begun. To the
onlookers the airship appeared to obey
her helm perfectly. Suddenly there was
a loud report and at the moment the
forepart of the vessel crumpled up and
the gondola was twisted about until it
appeared as though standing on one
end. AS the gas escaped from the for
ward compartment the PROV swayed
downward For a flash the airshtp
fiuttered like a wounded bird and then
fell swiftly to earth.
Erbsloeh and his companions were
killed the second that they struck the
ground. Their heads were battered in
and every limb was broken.
An examination of the wreckage
showed that the benzine tank had
burst, tearing to shreds the rubber en-
velope directly above it. The destruc-
ton of this envelope caused the bow to
collapse. The stern compartment was
still filed with gas when it struck the
ground.
Oscar Erbsloeh had made many dar-
ing and successful balloon flights In
the st. Louis aerial race. when he won
the international cup which had been
taken the year before by Lieutenant
Frank p. Lahm at Paris: he covered
distance of 876 miles. Starting at St.
Louis. he landed at Asbury Park, N J.,
two miles further from the point of
ascent than his nearest competitor. M.
Leblanc of France, who came down at
Herbertsville, NJ ]. Erbsloeh on that
occasion piloted the balloon Pommern.
In February. 1909. Erbsloeh made
remarkable balloon trip across the Alps.
His balloon, the Berlin. remained in the
air for thirty hours, reaching a maxi
mum altitude of about $4,000 het. An
average temperature of about IL degrees
below zero was experienced,

THE PRESENT TARIFF.

st. Louis, Mo-, May 3.-"We shall
have some pointed questions to ask
President Taft when he speaks here
Wednesday"
Thus declared w. H. Wrighton Of
Fresno, CAL, president of the Cali.
fornia Fruit Growers association, in
an address today here before the Ma.
tional Farmers Union.
1.-The people in our state are com
Ing to the conclusion" said Mr.
Wrighton, that the tariff is no good
to either the producer or the con-
sumner. We producers don't get the
high prices for food products"
President Charles s. Barrett urged
the farmers not to let their attitude
toward their congressman be colored
by trivial gifts, the bribery of a
petty officer for relative of a cor
dial handshake from the great man
himself"
That the farmer does not get the
benefit OF the high prices. and that
he ought to be ashamed Of himself,
was the declaration of o. F. Dorm
blazer of Cleburn, Texas. He said
the Spectator and middlemen got the
benefit.

From the attendance at the COM
mercial club meeting last night it is
evident that there is no general in
terest in the matter Of the franchise

Wenatchee valley. The meeting for

week past but few members of the
club were present. When the matter
was called for at the general meet

had been in session for few min
utes, a committee was appointed on
motion Of ]. F. Weber, to report on
the franchise at the general meeting,
which is to be held next month. The
committee Is composed Of Engineer
Ward, r. s. Ludington and .. F.
Weber.

a short time but transacted nothing
of special importance other than to

The extensive improvements that
are being made in the city and the
great expenditure of money that the
Great Northern railway is making
here are not being made without
reason. 1t is said that from the sale
of passenger tickets alone the local
station yesterday took in the sum of
$500. From freight bills and all
sources the great railway is doubt
less clearing thousands of dollars
profits every year at this place, and
it is no wonder that President Hill

WAR STARTED ON
TUBERCULOSIS
PREPARATIONS AT COMMERCIAL
CLUB FOR TRAVELLING EXHI-
BIT COMING HERE ON MAY 5.
LOCAL COMMITTEE.

Workmen began today to install
! the travelling tuberculosis and pub
lie health exhibit of the State De-
partment of Health. This work will
be pushed rapidly, and it is expected
everything will be in order for the
first meeting.
The exhibit is the only one of the
kind west of the Rocky mountains
although many eastern states have
similar exhibits.
This exhibit was first collected and
shown at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition.
Confirming the recent statement
of DR.. William Osler, that the anti
tuberculosis is no longer a battle
for the doctors only, the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis has issued a
statement showing that over As per
cent of those enlisted in the white
plague war" are laymen.
twenty-five eyars ago when the
campaign against tuberculosis was
started in this country, by DR.. Ed
ward L. Trudeau, even the medical
profession laughed at the movement,
says the statement. Gradually the
doctors realized the possibility of an
organized fight against tuberculosis.
At the present time, according to
recent figures published by the Ma
tional Association, churches, schools,
labor unions, women's clubs, frater-
nal organizations, and state legisla-
lures, interesting fully 100000
people, are all allied in the campaign
against tuberculosis, and in addition
to these, laymen of all classes of
society. and in every branch of So
cial and Industrial life, are uniting
against the white plague.
Local Committee.
DR.. Kaupp, DR.. Stevenson and
