NEW STEAMBOAT LINE.
Renewal OF River Travel Between st.
Lous and New Orleans in
Prospect.

The Inauguration of the St. Louis
New Orleans Steamboat Service,
which is to be opened September
18th, between St Louis and New Or
leans, by the Streckfus Steamboat
Line. will revive the one famous riv-
er trip which was SO famous some
fifteen or twenty years ago, when
the Anchor Line were operating the
most palatial steamers that were ev-
er on western rivers. Al that time
they had some ten or fifteen large
steamers in service
With the support of the merchants
in st, Louis and New Orleans, there
is no question but what the business
could be influenced to the river, so
that there could be several more
large steamers operated in connec-
tion with the steamer. Quincy.
The importance of this movement
is equal to trunk line railroad,
when one has taken into considera-
'tion that the distance is some 1 200
miles between the two metropolis.
The trip from passenger stand
point Is the most historical in the
country. AS for rest and recreation,
there Is nothing to compare with 1t,
as when travelling by the river you
are away from the noise and have all
the comforts of 6rst-class ohtel,
and in addition the beautiful scenery.
Receptions at all important cities
are being arranged when the steamer
arrives Business Mems Association
will cordially welcome the new en-
terprise.

Meets With First Accident Of His
Cross Country Aerial Journey
When Machine Refuses to Work
Near Alta, Calf
IS INJURED SLIGHTLY
Damage to Bi-Plane When it Dashes !
Against Two Trees Are Such That |
Trip Will Be Delayed Two Days
For Necessary Repairs.

Alta, Calf, Sep. 12--Aviator Ben
Fowler, en- route from San Francisco
to New York, met with his first mis-
hap OF his pioneer cross-country ae-
rial voyage here at 10:30 O'Clock
this morning. when in trying to
make landing, his bi-plane collided
with two trees, hurling 1t to the
ground and slightly injuring the
bird man.
Both planes and two propellers
were broken and Fowler will be de-
layed for at least two days before he
can resume his eastern journey.
Before leaving Auburn this morn
ing, Fowler had his first trouble wit,f
his engine. The engine was quickly
repaired but it is believed this de-
feet caused the later trouble,
Follows Railroad.
Leaving Auburn at 9:37 O'Clock
Fowler rose to a height Of 400 feet
and followed the route Of Southeri,
Pacific track.
For almost 40 miles he sailed
without mishap easily distancing
the special train and automobiles
that had started at Auburn at the
same time.
AS he came into view of this sec
ton, however, it was apparent that
something was wrong. About half
mile from here his course suddenly
deviated sharply He did not slack
en-, though and his machine dashed
full into the two trees, ~
At the height of forty feet the
right plane struck the right hana
tree, the force of the blow sending
the craft careening against the 9TH
er. The second blow caused the left
plane to be crushed and the great
bird of human creation hovered for
fraction of second and then turn
en- turtle as it started on its fall to
earth. In falling the tail piece was
doubled beneath the craft by the
force of wind and the bi-plane hit
the ground with the tail piece and
with propellers pointing upward,
thus splintering both propellers and
the rudder. Fowler remained in his
seat until the machine struck and
was hurled against the motor.
Spectators Aid Him.
Spectators rushed to his aid and
his injuries were quickly given at
tention. His mechanicians were
soon on the scene. Some of his brok-
en- pieces We're replaced but others
had to be sent TO Reno for repairs,
In explaining his mishap Fowler
said that his steering gear had sud
denly become blocked and he was
helpless to direct his course. Ae the
same time the level of the plane re-
fused to work and his efforts to con-
troll the bi-plane resulted in the dis
connecting of the detected magnetic
wire that had given trouble early in
the morning,

Chicago, Sept, 12,--F. A. Potter,
who is said to have garnered more
than $1,500,000 from the unwary of
two continents during the last few
years by means of confidence games,

arrested today by c. F. DeWoody,
division superintendent of the De-
partment of Justice after he had
been sought for three years by the
police of every city In the country.
English detectives and Scotland
Yards also are said to have sought
Potter who is credited with having
extracted numerous dollars from
credulous Londoners.
Potter, who also was known as
George w. Pope was wanted here on
an indictment for swindle. He and
Edward Starkloss also are wanted in
Philadelphia where they forfeited
their $4,000 bond in the United
States court year ago.
Protection Money"
In view of this forfeiture and the
report that the confidence men OF
whom Potter Is said to be the leader
continually keep large amount of
protection money within reach, Chief
DeWoody will make every effort to
keep his prisoner under loc and key
until he is brought to trial.
A cash bond of $4,000 offered by
Potter was refused by federal officers
who declared that nothing less than
s150,O0O cash would gain him tenn
porary freedom,

daring at the better known swird-
ling game, gold brick game, the "sicl;
engineer" and the "salted mine
plant" Potter and his men are said
to have appealed to the victimes and
according to victims, his latest and
ventures made his victims equally

After jumping his s2S 5000 bond in
Philadelphia, Potter and Starkloss
are said to have opened an office
here and flooded the middle west
with advertisements of spurious
money for sale at high prices.
The counterfeit bills, it was ad
vertised. were made from plates
stolen from the United States mint at
Philadelphia. Safety was guaranteed

The investors usually received a
package of blank paper for his
money. Being in the position of
having sought to defraud the gov
ernment, the investor would not
complain and the swindle was con-
Quoted with little risk to the per-
petrators.
DeWoody tonight said it was likely
the prisoner would be taken to Phila-
