WILL CROSS (?) ATLANTIC.
Airman Will Sail Westward from
Tencriffc Next February.

New York, Oct. 22.-1'he next at
tempt to cross the Atlantic in bal
loon will probably be made on a
westward course--the opposite from
that attempted by Wellman. The
expedition will be that of Joseph
Rrucker formerly of Chicago. who
Has been engaged for year In the
preliminary plans for his airship
trip.
Drucker's dirigible, the Suchard,
Is approaching completion at Munich.
The entire equipment will be shipped
to the Canary Islands at the end OF
the year and the start westward is
scheduled to be made from Teneriffc
next February. Brucker's' first
scheme was to start from Cadiz. The
adoption Of Teneriffe as starting
point will save him seren hundred
miles Of travel over the ocean.
The Suchard Is 200 feet long, and
has $500 cubic meters gas capacity.
Two 200-horse power motors will
drive the airship by means of two
propellers. The balloon will carry
35 foot life-boat, with a gasoline
motor equipment.
Brucker hopes to sail with favor
Ing northeast trade winds to Porto
Rico or Haiti.
If necessary he can make a de-
scent there and then continue his
voyage over Cuba to New Orleans,

ing the effect Of the suns rays on

Wellman expedition sent the Ameri-
ca bounding up to q height OF $500
feet. He proposes to meet this not
by an equilbrator, as planned by
Melvin Vaniman, but by filling tanks
with water to act as ballast during
the warm hours Of the day and emp
tying them again as the cool Of even
ing comes on. TO do this he pro-
poses to ship an automatic pump at
tached to the engine Of the ship,
which will take in and discharge
water through long hose hung from
the lower part Of the balloon.

RESCUED PRISONER SET FREE.
Prisoners Friends Swuop Down ON
Virginia Jail After NIihniuht.

Livingston, Va, Oct. .--Moun-
taineer friends Of John Moore, under
sentence to be elcctrocuted for the
murder Of Frank Howl, descended
upon the Nelson county jail here at
! o'clock this morning, stormed the
building and rescued the prisoner
1t Is supposed he will be taken to
the mountains and liberated.
When the people OF the county
seat were asleep, a crowd OF 70 fully
armed men from the mountain sec
tion, where the crime was committed
proceeded quietly to the county Jail.
Admission was gain ed to the build
ing and the guards awed into com
parative On-reSistance. The cell
where Moore was locked up soon was
found and he was taken out.
It Is feared that bloodshed will re-
sn't from any atte.npt Of the author
tiles to recapture the murderer.
Moore was condemned to pay the
Death penalty by clcctrocution at
Richmond on Move ',cr 25. He had
been convicted OF having murdered
Frank Howl in Nelson county last
May. Many of the mountaineer
friends Of the condemned man be-
lioEed him innocent Of the crime.
The only telephone wire leading to
the section OF the country where the
crime was committed and where
Moore's friends live was cut before
the operation was begun. This leads
to the belief that Moore was carried
there for release

Members of the police force,

Men who hesitated about signing
up with the employment men were
questioned by the police as to their
business in town, why they stayed
here when the jobs were offered on
the boards, and the suggestion let
fall that it might be well to accept
one of the jobs and get out of town.

police activity is to rush more lnen

The local forestry office has ap.

Brigadier General Howe at Camp

Montana forestry officials by wire
that he will send those two com.

been staying for the past few days

clothes awakened him early this
morning and his cries brought help
from other roomers in the hotel,
who broke in the door and turned
