sand feet high, and then Vaniman
began to put>it through its PAGES.

der perfect control. 1t was just
after six o'clock.
Suddenly there was little
whirl of smoke at the stern.
Flames burst from the, silken bag.
The dirigible pitched, and then
began hurting downwards.
A man climbed over the frame
work of the balloon; hung for a
moment; then dropped. That
was Calvin Vanirnan. His body
was picked up in an inlet of the
sea, so burned and mangled as.
scarcely to be recognizable.
Another man climbed out on
the framework and hung by his
arms. But he was afraid to drop,
and hung there, silhouetted
against the sky, to the end.
The flaming balloon fell into
nine feet of water, 1t crushed the
bodies of the four men still cling
ing to it deep into the mud of the
bottom.
Mrs. Vaniman; Mrs. Elmer,
Mrs. Boultion and. Mrs. Guest

out a new invention by which he
hoped to perfect control over diri-

1t is supposed that Vaniman
tried this out, and that the inner
bag burst under the tremendous
pressure. But no one will ever
know.
Vaniman believed the dirigible
and not the aeroplane was to
solve the conquest of the air. He
believed he had succeeded in per-
fecting the dirigib1e. He believed
he was going to carry out his
greatest ambition-the crossing,

man would fly across the Atlantic.

NOTE FOR HIS FATHER
Dead Man Prominent in Insur-

in Georgia City. e

CHICAGO, Sept, 3.-Horace H.
H. Adams, of Macon, Ga, killed him
self today in his room IN the Planters
hotel here. He shot himself through
the the. temple. A note found in the
room asked the police to notify his
father to take charge of the body.
From papers in Adams possession it
was found that the young man was
member Of the firm Of c. NJ Adams &
Son, Insurance. brokers of Macon.
Adams had been at the hotel since
August 26. The reason Of his suicide
is not known. Since his bill at the hotel
was left unpaid, and he apparently had
no money, police are inclined to the
theory that financial difficulties might
have been the cause.
Attaches Of the hotel. however. think
that the extreme heat of the past few
days may have resulted in temporary
mental unbalance. Adams had com.
planned of the heat and had acted in
a peculiar manner for some days.

Material ROSenthal
Witness in Europe

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 3.-Thoma s
Coupe, who is wanted in New York
by District Attorney Whitman as a
material witness in the Rosenthal case,
arrived today on the Cunard liner Lusi
tania from New York and Immediately
was placed under surveillance by the
police. Coupe was night clerk in the
Ellls club in New York and saw the
actual killing of Rosenthal by gang
sters who subsequently escaped in an
automobile. Recently he disappeared,
but Whitman's detectives traced him
on board the ship and Scotland Yard
and other police bureaus throughout
England we're notified to be on the
watch.
When Coupe was taken to the police
station me was told that District At
torney Whitman wanted him to return
to New York Coupe evaded direct
answer. saying that he must consult
with his friends before he could say
whether he would go back.
BY this action Coupe aroused the
suspicion that influence of the most
powerful kind had been brought to
bear upon him to have him stay away
from New York until after the trial
of the men indicted for Rosenthars
murder.
Coupe refused to discuss this phase
Of the case, but denied that his sudden
departure from New York had been
forced or otherwise brought about by
outside agencies.
