SEATTLE, July 2.-Six bar

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
| SEATTLE, July 2.-Six bar
tenders, the manager Of the
Rainier club, to which Judge
Hanford belonged, two Burns de-
tectives als1 former conductor
on the street car line which the
Judge took to his home, testified
this morning before the congress
sional committee investigating the
impeachment charges against G.
III. Hanford.
| They followed the sensational
Testimony given yesterday after
noon by A. A. Norgskog, a
Burns detective, who shadOwed
the Judge for 80 days last fall.
The bartenders, while re-
luctant to testify, corroborat-
ed in some measure Norgskog' Is
testimony that Judge Hanford
would Invariably make a daily
round Of the Rainier club and
three down town saloons after
leaving the federal building in
the afternoon.
| The judge according to Norgs-
kog and other Burns detectives,
would take a different kind of a
drink in each bar.
| In addition to these visits
Norgskog testified the judge
would come down town later In
the evening on many occasions
and visit still other bars.
"As many as dozen times
said Norgskog, Judge Hanford
visited the residence of some
woman at late hours of night and
early In the morning where he
would stay two or three hours,
on some occasions leaving about
2 o'clock in the morning.
Hanford's attorneys laid stress
lin Norgskog's testimony that the
judge took this woman, whose
identity was not disclosed, to
three public places; to theater,
one to a park Sunday afternoon
and on another Sunday for an In
Iterurban car ride. :, A picture OF
the Judge and woman taken late
at night was introduced. Norgs-
kog told of one occasion when
the judge seemed to lose his way
home in drizzling rain. He
said Judge Hanford took an un-
usual route home and twice lean
ed against a building to rest. /

2.-Melyille Naniman, his BROTH
err. Calvin VanAMan, Fred Elmer,
George Boultion'A And Walter Guest
were X lIed at 6:3O today by the
explosion OF the dirigible balloon
Akron, which burst while two
thousand feet in the air.
The men fell into nine feet OF
water, and the bodies had not
been recovered two hours after
ward.
Watched by more than a thou
sand people, the Vapsmans and
their helpers took the balloon
from the hangar for the try-out
preparatory to Melvin Valliman's
proposed transatlantic flight,
and for several minutes the diri-
gible darted about over the thor
oughfare, apparently in excellent
condftxn and perfect control.
Then Vaniman pointed her nose
upward ad rose slowly until the
Akron was nearly half mile
above the earth.
Suddenly the balloon fell to
the earth like a plummet.
Men among the spectators
rushed forward, while women
screamed and some tainted, but
the Akron fell far out on the
waters.
vaniman recently has been
making numerous secret expert
ments with new air bag which
he expected to control the rising

! WINSHIP PRAISES
/ OREGON SCHOOLS

Prneville Ore, oct. 19-Dr. \. f.
Winship of Boston was the principal
lecturer the second day of the Crook
county teachers institute and contin-
ued to inspire his audience. His sub
ject Education for Efficiency" em-
phasized the following points: schools
are inefficient because we are doing
so many things wrong. We do not
discriminate between things that are
worth while and things that are use-
less. There is no state that is doing
so much for educational progres as
Oregon under the leadership of Su-
perintendent Alderman. Wisconsin has
decided to follow Oregon in giving
credit for out of school work. The
school must influence out-of-school
! life Tests show that children who
have a standing Is per cent higher
than others
His lecture, THE Personal Ele-
ment" was based on the principle
that the personal influence of the
teacher is worth more than all that
is taught or the system by which it Is
taught
DR.. Winship took occasion to re-
flute the attack made upon the schools
in the August number of the Ladies
Home Journal: he called these state
ments a Gigantic collection of mon
strosities." and proceeded to show
their alleged absurdity.
