Fifty years ago today Washington was
intensely interested in the ascension OF
military balloon at Falls Church, Va,
on the lines of the union army, then oc-
cupying the south bank of the Potomac
opposite the capital.
This was the first military balloon as
cension in America and the beginning of
long struggle on the part of the aero
naut Prof T. S. c. Lowe, for the recog-
milton of aeronauties as an arm of mill
tary science.
Professor Lowe, who was a native of
Jefferson N. H. had made a study of
aeronautics since his school days and
had perfected several inventions con-
nected with ballooning. In the spring
of 1861 he built a large balloon, in
which he made, on April 20, journey
of 800 miles in nine hours, from Gin
cinnati to a point near the coast OF
South Caronna. Encouraged by this
he had decided to offer his services to
the government, and to that end had
gone to Washington early in June.
There he had received encouragement
from Prof. Joseph Henry, secretary of
the Smithsonian institution, and had
made several exhibition ascensions
from the grounds of the institution,
and of the Washington arsenal. On one
of these, June II, taking up two pas
sengers he succeeded in sending the
first Geographic message ever trans
mitted from a balloon, over wire
connecting the balloon with the war
department.
The altitude of he balloon at the
time was about 1000 feet. The mes
sage was as follows:
Balloon Enterprise,
Washington, June IT,
To the president of the United States:
Sir: This point of observation COM
mands an area nearly so miles in dame
ter. The city, with its girdle of encamp-
ments, presents a superb scene. take
great pleasure in sending you this first
dispatch ever telegraphed from an aerial
station, and in acknowledging my in
debtedness to your encouragement for the
opportunity of demonstrating the availa-
bility of the science of aeronautics in the
military branch of the country.
Yours respectfully
T. S. c. LOWE.

TORTURED AND MURDERED.
Chinese Maltreated by the Mexican
Rebels at Torreon.

Laredo. Texas. May 21.-Dr. J. w.
Lin, a Chinese banker, was dragged
around the plaza at Torreon, Mex. by
rope attached to his neck, until his
body was mass of broken bones, ac-
cording to reports reaching here today.
This was done by the rebels. it is said.
From the source of information. de-
tails of three days battle at Torreon
between the revolutionists and FEEDER

to have occurred May 10. ID and 10. re-
sulting in a rebel victory
Dr. Linn was one of the wealthiest
Chinese in north Mexico and was at
the head of banking institution con-
trolled by Chinese capitalists. After
dragging Linn around the plaza until
life was almost extinct. it is reported
the refels shot him a number of times:
He died in few minutes.
Another report is that one of the
Sternau brothers, hotel proprietors at
Torreon, was hanged by rebels after
number of Spaniards had fired at the
reyoluticnists from doors and windows
in the hotel. This cannot be verified
The reports of the Torreon incidents
were brought from the town by an
American locomotive engineer, who es-

weeks.
The railroad men leaving Torreon
said that at least 200 Federal soldiers
were killed during the battle, but they
did not attempt to estimate the rebel

ings were burned. are made. So far as
known no American was injured

DOUBLE DROWNING. '
A Canoe Capsizes-Two Drowned and
Two Others Saved.

Springfield, Mass May 21.-The capsiz-
ing of a canoe in which four young peo-
pie were spending the afternoon on the
Connecticut river today cost the lives of
two of the party. Elwyn Mecum, g. and
Annie Rooney, %, both of this city. Earl
Warner and Ruth Meeum, the other
members of the party. We're rescued by
three young men who witnessed the acct
dent from a power boat.
The party started out from Springfield
early in the afternoon and had reached
point six miles below Springfield when
in some unexplained manner the frail
craft tipped over and all four were
thrown into the water. Harold and Har-
ris Gordon of Springfield and Arthur
Robinson of st. Johnsbury. Vt. were in
power boat short distance away and
hurried to the scene but We're able to
save only two.
The couple who were drowned were to
have been married soon.

People will demonstrate
With Sheriff Lowe
For His Alleged Non-ent0Tce-
ment Of Liquor Law.
Even the Democrats Are DispIeased
With Androscoggin's Laxness.

Lewiston. Me-, May 21.-Dissatisfied
with the nom enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law. decent and law abiding
people, irrespective of party. are
planning soon to call upon Sheriff
Lowe and demonstrate with him.
A petition which is in circulation in
Auburn. decrying the present condi-
lions and asking for strict enforce
'ment. is being signed largely by
Democrats, for the members of that
party consider it is an affair for them
TO settle.
One of those behind the movement
said, Saturday: Such condition of
enforcement as we are now getting
does not meet with the approval of
the majority of the Democratic party.
We believe Sheriff Lowe will change
his policy If it can be shown to him
that he is not carrying out the wishes
of his constituents.
The petition has not yet been pre-
sented to the sheriff and it was the
purpose of it's originators to go about
it quietly pass it to the sheriff and
wait to see what came of it before
proceeding any further in the matter.
They would have preferred no pub
LEFTY but as the facts transpired quite
generally in Auburn Saturday. this
plan could not be carried out.
Suffice to say the petitioners have no
desire to make any stir about il be-
yond a fair representation to the sher-
iff of their attitude under present con-
Iditions.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Shows That the Recent
Standard Oil Decision
Has During The Week Checked
The Speculation In Stocks.
The Lumber Trust Suit Also Helped
To Check Activities.

New York. May 21-The action of the
stock market last week hinged almost
entirely on the Standard Oil decision
rendition of which on Monday was fol-
lowed by the most active speculation of
the year After a period of marked
strength and activity some hesitation de-
veloped, and toward the end of the week
mild reaction set In. Technical condi-
tons were to some extent responsible for
the change. The extent and rapidity of
the rise invited extensive profit taking,
and at the same time diminished the de-
mand for investment purposes once a
definitely higher level of prices was
reached. The weeks movement was due
primarily, however, to satisfaction with
the supreme courts decision as a first
impression, which was later modified by
ripper consideration of all it's bearings.
This Interpretation of financial senti-
ment is borne out by the drift of public
discussion accompanying the price move
ment. First came a chorus of universal
relief that the suspension of weekly
watching for the decision was ended
There seemed to be also a general con-
viction that a process of readjustment to
new conditions would begin at once. and
That an early revival in business and in
industry might be expected
The widest CONGRATULATIONS were drawn
from that feature of the decision which
imported 1.-THE light of reason" into the
construction of the first and second sec
lions of the antitrust law. The first
conclusions drawn by stock operators
from this feature ran all the way to
probable total exemption from future
prosecution for capital combination by
this Interpretation. This too sweeping
assumption was soon modified. Later

that they were guilty of unreasonable"
restraint of trade also helped to check
