THRILLING BALLOON RUNAWAY.
Went Thousands of Feet in the AIR
Before Stopped.

An officer of the garrison at In
golsladt, Bavaria, had thrilling ride
Wednesday when a military captive
balloon broke loose from its anchor
age. The officer was novice at bal
looming and was unable to manipu-
late the gas valve.
Finally when the balloon had
reached height Of 16.5O0 feet, the
officer clambered to the top of the
gas bag and succeeded in wrenchlng
open the valve. Then the balloon
began headlong descent near Mum
ich. which is so miles from 1ngol-
stadt.
AS the balloon was nearing the
ground the officer jumped into tree
and was only slightly injured. Re-
lieved of the weight the balloon
again ascended and was later found

MARITIME LAYES CAUCUS
IN TILT WITH BAILEY OVER
LORIAER RESOLUTION.
New Jersey Senator Unwilling to
Stand by Caucus Action in Adopt
ING MARITIME Resolution.

In Thursdays Democratic sena-
toriaI caucus over the MARITIME resolu-
ton to refer the reinyestigation of
the Lorimer case to the committee
on privileges and elections, which
was adopted by a vote Of "a to 4,
there was a sharp tilt between Sena-
tor Bailey, of Texas, and Senator
MARITIME, of New Jersey. Mr.. Bailey
told MT. MARITIME that if the latter
was not willing to abide by the de-
cisiop Of the caucus he could leave
it, whereupon the New Jersey senator
put on his hat and left the meeting
in rage.
The verbal encounter between
Messrs. Bailey and MARITIME origin
ated in Mr.. Bailey's demand for gen
eral support Of the MARITIME resolu-
ton. Bailey declared that any sena-
tors who refused to be bound by the
caucus had no rightful place In the
party councils.
This aroused the senators who
favor the La Toilette resolution pro-
viding for an inquiry by special COM
mittee Of new senators. Mr.. Bailey
contended that more than two-thirds
Of the caucus favored the MARITIME
resolution. Mr.. MARITIME said that he
was unwilling to be bound by a party
caucus in some cases. He also stated
that he was willing to compare his
record with that of Mr. Bailey.
Saying he would not handy words
regarding the character of his owl
Democratic standing, Mr. Bailey in
sisted that senators were in duty
bound to abide by a twc-thirds ma
jority of the caucus. Mr. MARITIME
finally withdrew from the caucus.
Almost every other Democratic
senator participated in the debate.
It developed that the Republicans
had agreed to- abandon the Dilling-
ham resolution In favor Of the Mar
tine resolution with the understand
ing that any senator should be free
to offer and support amendments.
It was expected that the Lorimer
uuestin would come up In the open
senate, but this matter was crowded
out by other business. The pros
pect now is that the Martin resolu-
ton will be adopted without amend
ment

RIOT IN MEXICO CITY
SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED IN
CLASH WITH THE SOLDIERS.
Supporters of Madero, Enraged by
Fact That Old Regime Did Not
End Wednesday Parade Streets.

Enraged by the announcement that
Diaz and Vice-President Corall would
not resign before Thursday specta-

Wednesday began rioting, which re-
suited in several deaths. The police
fred on the mob in front of El I'm
perial building after it had been set
on fire. Three persons were killed.
The mob was dispersed and the fire
eXtinguished.
President Diaz has been i'll for
several days. Until 9 o'clock the
mob found practically no opposition
by the authorities. Shouting tVivas'
for Madero, they paraded the streets
of the city, and except for the noise,
conducted themselves in an orderly
fashion. Thousands were in the line
Of parade.
At $50 it appeared that the crowd
was dispensing. The main body had
been broken into smaller groups,
ut at that time some Of these had
grown more demonstrative in the big
plaza in front of the palace, and the
police determined that the time had
come for drastic measure to be TAX
en-. The shouting, gesticulating mass
Of humanity was warned to move on,
but a confidence born of better treat
ment earlier in the evening caused
them to receive with derision the
order Of the police. Quickly their
shouts were turned into cries Of an
guish.
The soldiers were throwing into
their midst a hail Of bullets. The
narrow streets leading from the So
calo were jammed with fleeing men
and many women. For few min
utes the guns Of the Government
were stilled, but a regathering about
the street corners of the now thor
oughly enraged as we'll as frighten-
ed partisans Of Madero was formed.
Again the muskets crashed, and the
crowd was again scattered. Police
and soldiers began an active patrol
of the streets, but the lawless bands
merely moved on toward the other
streets.
In the midst Of it all, President
Diaz lay On a sick bed. 1t was learn
ed on authority that despite reports,
his condition has shown several de-
igrees Of fever for the last few days.
He declines to see all visitors, includ-
ing members of the diplomatic corps,
and takes nothing but liquid nour-
ishment. 1t was said that the Pres
ident's condition was considered SER
ious by members of his family, ow-
ing to his advanced age

white farmer, was assaulted and al
most fatally cut by Smith Boykin, a
burly negro, in Clinton. Mr.. Nc

ger and was ordered by the negro to
get out Of the chair.
After a few words the negro turn

and cut McLamb twice, making two
long wounds. penetrating 20 the ab-
normal cavity. The wounded man
was taken to the Office of Drs. Coop

ton was given. 1t is believed the
wounds will not prove fatal.
The negro was promptly arrested
and lodged in jai! to await the re-
suSs of the injuries inflicted by
him before a hearing is had in the
case. It looked at one time as If
summary measures would be resorted
to by angry friends of the injured
man, but the advice Of cooler heads
prevailed and the law will very hkery
be allowed to take its course.
