Flint, Mich, Aug. 30.-In the pres

y. Belts, OF Flint, was accidentally
caught by the guy ropes OF n BALLOON
to-day and carried about two thousand

tangled and dropped him 10 his death
He crashed against the roof Of a barn
and was still alive when spectators
reached him, but he soon died.
The accident occurred at county
fair. and when the balloon and aero
naut shot upward many people thought
the youth dangling on the end OF
rome was a dummy. The heroic efforts
of the balloonist to rescue the boy soon
disclosed the truth TO the crowd below.
AS the big gas bag crept higher and
higher. the aeronaut, in peril OF his own
safety. could be seen working desper-
ately to pull the dangling form to the
trapeze. Finally the lad dropped down

Suspicious Confirmed.

"In regard 10 my indefinite suspicious
against Azeff there Is an incident which
occurred In ST. Petersburg In 1906. when
the pidicss reaction had succeeded the
so-called days OF liberty. I had left the
Office Of 'Byloe' and was pensively walk

contained Azeff and his wife. The
thought flashed through my mind OF the
great danger II they should be rash
enough to salute mo. Very likely I was
shadowed: at least, I had taken no pre-
cautions I made a secret signal for
them not to give me any greeting. As
they passed there was a furry Of police

sured TO see that the arrest of an ordi-

whose head a price must be set, is OPEN

disguise himself a little?
"A single hypothesis was possible.
Either there was near to Azeff provo
cateur, who protected the unwilling
source OF his Information, or the provo
cateur was Azeff himself.
In my further Investigations I found
that Azeff showed himself everywhere--in
theatres. railroad stations and all other
public places. All this confirmed my in

the police. whether as a provocateur HIM

AzEFF'S CAREER, TOLD
BY VLADIMIR B0URTzEFF
How the Arch Spy Committed
Murder for the Revolutionists
and Gave Facts to Premier.

Eugene Phiipovich Azeff, the arch spy
Of the Russian revolution. was first en-
posed by Vladimir Bourtzeff some four
years ago. Upon his exposure AzeH fled
from the wrath Of the revolutionsts, who
decreed his death.
The Russian government suffered from
the demonstration that II had employed
such tool in combating the revolution
ists and an Interpolation on Azefr came
up In the Douma. An official and de-
tailed admission by the government that
Azeff had served 1t as an agent provo
cateur was contained In the Indictment
by the Russian Senate OF Lopoukhin, for
mer Minister Of Police. on the charge OF
Informing BourtZeff and others that Az n
was employed by the police. Lopoukhin
was convicted and sentenced TO Siber a.
Vladimir Bourtzeh, who has teen called
the Sherlock Holmes OF the Russian revo-
luton, because of the many agents provo
cateur whom he has unmasked. is editor
of an historical review. "Byloe" c'The
Past'O, published In Psris. The review
processes 10 deal with the history OF Rus
stan reform and revolution, but the feats
Of It's editor would indicate that Il IS
concerned mostly with things up to date.
Undoubtedly. his study Of the past has
given Mr.. Bourtzeff light on the presen Il.
and his role OF an historical student has
been advantageous IN his dealings with
police officials and government repre-
sentativcS.
In a letter 10 friends in this city, re-
viewing the recent developments in the
Azeff case. Bourtzer writes.
After his disappearance in lSJS Azeff
kept In hiding for three years. From time
10 time reports came to me OF his being
in Vienna, Hamburg or some other Ger
man city but the news always came too
late to be of service in an attempt TO
locate him. He would mysteriously die
appear. At the end of 1910 Azefr wrote 70
his wife, ordering her to discontinue fur
ther communication with him. which she
did IN order not to betrsy his where
abouts.
Not long ago ] received very ex-
plicit statement about man who stopped
AZ q quiet German watering place on the
Rhine. IN Neuenard. The description Of
the man cOrresponded with that OF Azeff.
further investigation showed that 1t
was undoubtedly Azeff.

lived alone and made a bad impression

his language was incorrect and his Rus

his cure very regularly, for, besides being
a neurasthenic. he had heart trouble.
On July l6 he came to the West End Ho-

was fashionably gowned and wore a
