WILL TRYTOcROSS.
OCEAN|N BALLOON
Vaniman Believes He Will Sue
coed Where Walter Well
man Failed.

London. June 10.-Melvin ivaniman
sailed on the Lusitania from Liverpool
to-day for New York. from where he
will go to Akron. Ohio, to supervise
the completion of the dirigible balloon
to cross the Atlantic this fall. He
stated that Frank A. Siberling, presi-
dent of tho Akron Chamber OF Com
merce. would bear the entire cost of
the venture. which is estimated at
from sl25.0oo to $4,000.
Naniman was tho engineer and
builder of Walter IWellman's dirigi-
BILE America. which attempted trans
Atlantic flight last fall. Discussing
his new airship he said:
The dirigible which arm building
will he 26S feet long and have ca
pacity for $4,000 cubic feet OF gas
with lifting power of $4,000 pounds.
The diriGible will have two 105-horso-
power motors. The crew will include a
wireless operator. q navigator, two
mechanics, a cook and the Same cat.
Trent" which was the mascot for
the America. The airship will be com
plcted on August /. Several trial trips
Will be made from Atlantic City. The
real start across the Atlantic will be
made in October. Crossing the At
lantic in n dirigible is no longer a
question of winds or navigation. The
present perfection OF rubber-coated
fabrics for dirigible enables balloon
to stay In the air for thirty days. No
special type of balloon is necessary,
but It must be non-rigid. Tho DIM
Guilty is not to keep tho balloon in air,
but to prevent its rising to an en-
trema height when tho rays OF tho
sun expand tho gas. This problem
think have solved" #iEl

Washington, D. c., June 10-A gen

which have been In progress for two
weeks.
Just before noon to-day the media

Questions OF some delicacy were in

The employment OF negroes as fre-
men figured largely in the controversy
quite as largely. In fact. as the
question of wages. Apprehension that

about the agreement that no details OF

were arrested yesterday on complaint OF
the immigration officials. They were
charged with attempting TO smuggle INTO
this country an allen whose name did not
appear on the ships manifest. The arrest
was not a surprise TO the immigration Of
Gcials. for they have been watching all
steamships of the Greek Line for nearly a
y ear in an effort 10 get evidence to show
that these steamships were bringing in
unmanifested and undesirable aliens.
Several days ago young Greek visited
Ellis Island and declared that his brother,
a passenger on the Patras was being de-
tanned on board by the captain. Commis-
sioncr Williams sent two inspectors TO the
Patras and demanded that the alien be sent
TO Ellis Island. The captain explained that
tho detained man was a member of his
crew who was trying to desert, and that
he locked him mp for safe keeping. Not
satisfied with this explanation, the allen

just double.
Within stones throw Of the San
Juan district the mortality among white

a large percentage. tuberculosis in this
section is responsible for great part OF
the deaths after maturity.

THE CORONER SEIZES AUTOS

Under Ancient Statute.

Most people believe the coroners limit
their activities to the physical examination
of tho dead and the oral examination of
the near dead, and few persons know that
,he coroners, under an ancient statute, are
the only officials who can seize any goods
that come into their possession. The busy
citizen was reminded OF this function yes
terdav in the Supreme Court, where an
effort was made 10 vacate an order author
izine the coroner to seize several automo-
h,les shipped here from Detroit which the
Sheriff attached on claim against the
shipper.
1t developed that two Detroit banks had
sent drafts along with the bills OF ladings
for the automobiles, and therefore insisted
that the cars could not be attached for
money owed by the automobile company,
which already had collected their money at
the other end. Then the extraordinary
function OF the coroner was invoked, and
that Office took the cars away from the
Sheriff.
Justice Page refused 10 vacate the order
granted authorizing the coroner n take the
cars, which gave that Office a heretofore
unexperenced relation with automobiles.

cause of them.
