BOY CARRIED UP
IN Big BALLOON

Chillieothe Ohio, June 15-Breaking
away from its mornings, the dirigible
balloon belonging to Cromwell Dixon of
Columbus, Ohio, scared to an altitude of
half mile above the city late today, car
rying with it Freddy Myers. 10 years old,
while thousands of Mortified spectators
looked on.
The ballon drifted five miles to the
westward, when the hydrogen gas be-
came partially exhausted and it slowly
came toward the earth. The boy had
crawled out to the end of the frame
work opposite to that on which the en-
CINE was situated, and when within 10
feet of the ground dropped safely.
The balloon arose when relieved of the
weight and scared to a great height. and
was last seen travelling eastward
The accident happened when one of the
guy ropes holding the balloon broke while
the lad was on the rigging. The wind was
high, and in swinging around the other
ropes broke and the balloon assembled be-
fore the boy could jump or any one Of
the handlers of the balloon could catch
the drag rope.
Automobiles starting in pursuit OF the
wild air craft found the boy walking to-
ward the city. They picked him UP and
rushed him to his mother, who was al
most frantic after he airing that the boy
had been carried away.
The boy, in talking Of the experience,
said that his first impulse was to jump
but by the time he had made up his
mind the earth looked so far away that
he thought he had better hold on.

INEXPERIENOE CAUSES
MANY MINE ACCIDENTS

Washington. June Unemployment
of inexperienced immigrants in the coal
mines of this country is suggested as
the probable cause of many serious ac-
cidents, in a report of the immigra-
ton commission whicn was presented
to Congress today by Senator Dilling-
ham, chairman. The report deals with
the economic condition of about one
fourth of all the soft coal miners in
this country.
/ 1t was found that 10 per cent of the
families lived in homes of two rooms.
The average earnings of the heads
of the 1000 sor more families investi-
gated was found to be $3.50 month.
OF the $4,000 men tabulated. $4,000
were foreign born and nearly 40 per
cent had been In this country less than
five years or the foreign born miners
about 80 per cent can read and write
and more than so per cent speak Eng
fish. About 20 per cent of the families
own their own homes.
The highest percentage of naturali-
cation among them is found in the
miners from Sweden, who also lead in
literary and ability to speak English.

FAIR BUSINESS
IN IRON MARKET

Cleveland, June 15.-(Special.)-T Iron
Trade Review tomorrow will say:
The market has not been character
lied by any very positive developments.
There is considerable softness in pig
iron and concessions are being more free
ly made on some finished products. The
attitude of the railroads In regard to
buying is still somewhat uncertain. but a
fair number of orders for structural ma
terial and cars have been placed with
in few days. The Pennsylvania railroad
san tons of foundry iron in the Phil
adelphia district and the Baltimore and
Ohio is inquiring for one thousand tons,
but in most parts of the country the in
quiry Is not heavy. A valley interest has
sold ten thousand tons of Bessemer on
sliding scale basis. In the valleys very
low quotations are being made on No.
foundry and on malleable.
1t is estimated that structural contracts
for the first half of the year will amount
to 10000 tons. Although this tonnage is
large 1t is not enough to satisfy the
capacity of plants and these results of
strong competition are being shown In
the shading of prices, especially In the
western territory where quotation OF
less than lac, Pittsburg has been made,
The American Bridge company has made
large tonnage of bridge material in
Guiding ten thousand tons for the Ca
madam Pacific bridge across the st. Law
renee river; fifteen thousand tons for the
Kentucky and Indiana bridge at Louisville
and twelve hundred tons for Santa Fe
bridges.
Prices on sheets, except blue annealed
are being shaded from 81 to 50 per ton
The steel bar market continues active
and considerable contracting has beer
done not only by agricultural implement
concerns, but by other consumers. The
Gulf Refining company is In the mar
ket for one hundred miles of six-inch
pipe, and negotiations for a much larger
tonnage are pending.

move the heart, lungs liver and other

ders died in a spasm, exhibiting great ag-
ony for some time before his death, and
that he fell from the bed while in the
throes of pain less than % minutes before
