Witnesses May Possibly be Brought
Before jury Now in Session.

That the county authorities perhaps
have cause to believe that violations
of the corrupts practices act concern
ing the buying and selling of votes
might be in preparation for the com
ing election, was intimated yesterday
when Judge T. G.. Taylor, in his charge
to the grand jury now in session laid
particular stress upon this cat. 1t
may possibly bring before he grand
jury at this term witnesses who can
perhaps tell something of bribe solic-
iting and money offered for votes.
Nothing definite has yet developed,
according to Prosecuting Attorney
Jean F. Smith, but strong suspicion
of such violation of the law is evil
IDENTITY uppermost in the mind sof the
county officers.
Judge Taylor went into detail in
his remarks on the Corrupt Practices
act explaining that the solicitation of
money fort vote, no matter how
small he amount. constituted grave
offense i nthe eyes of the law, The
penalty for such violation is a fine of
500 and six months in the penitentia-
ry, at the discretion of the court That
the grand jury will find occasion to
apply the principles of this law dur
ing the present term is strong prob
ability.
The grand jury convened early yes
terday morning with John F. Ratcliff,
member of the firm of Hagen, Ratcliff
& Co, and prominent Democratic
leader in the county, as foreman.
Seven indictments were returned, FIVE
of which were for pistol toters. The
two felony warrants were for Alonzo
Knight, arrested some time ago for
turbing religious worship, and James
O. Janey. for stealing.
The grand jury will probably be in
session today and tomorrow. Prose
cutor Smith believes that a large num-
Der of convictions will be secured by

DIRIGIBLE EXPLODES IN AIR.
Vaniman and His Crew Meet Tragic
Death at Atlantic City-BalloOn
Had Been Built for Purpose of
Crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

Atlantic City, N. j., July 2.-Sail-
ing out over the Atlantic Ocean under
perfect control and in view OF several
thousand interested persons, the
great airship, Akron, in command of
Melvin Vaniman, with a crew of four
men, exploded while more than 500
feet in the air early to-day, and shot
down into the water a tangled mass,
carrying to their death the daring
aviator and his companions. Death
is believed to have come instantly to
the five men
In all the tragic history of disasters
to air ships or aeroplanes, probably
none was as sensational as that which
brought to an end the greatest and
mostly costly aircraft ever construct
ed on the Western hemisphere. Built
to withstand the storms of the At
lantic and to carry at least a dozen
men across the ocean to Europe, the
Akron went to her doom in calm
weather. Those who went down with
the big dirigible beside the intrepid
Vaniman, who already had had one
thrilling experience in an airship on
the ocean, were: Calvin Vaniman,
his younger brother; Fred Elmer,
George Bourrillion of Philadelphia,
Walter c. Cost, friend of Vaniman's
finnncial backer.
The Akron, which had been infiat-
ed last February with gas manufac-
tured by Vaniman in the big hangar
at the inlet, ws taken out shortly
flight had already been made about
a month ago, and defects discovered
at that time were remedied and to-
days trial was to have been among
the last prior to the attempt to cross
the Atlantic. Mrs. Vaniman bid her
husband goodbye at their little cot
tage near the hangar at 2 a. m. and
waited for day-break to see her hus-
band sail away.
When half mile off Brigantine
Beach the thousands of spectators
who had been watching the ship, saw
burst of flame outlined against the
morning sky. In a few seconds they
balloon detach itself from the bag
and shoot downward into the water,
followed by the collapsed gas bag.
BY intuition everybody seemed to
have realized what had occurred and
soon a hundred boats were beating
their way out over the rough waters
of the inlet bar After a search
submerged body. that of the younger
Vaniman, was recovered.
Divers went down to the wreck,
but there was little that could be
done until low tide when Costs body
was disentangled from the wreckage
and brought to the shore.
Mrs. Vaniman saw the collapse of
the balloon and it's drop into the
ocean carrying with it her husband
and brother-in-law. She fell in a
faint and was. UNCONSCIOUS for some
time
