PREVENTION OF FRAUD.
Test Made Of Postal Savings Certifi-
cate in Chicago.

The protection provided against fraud
by the certificate of deposit introduced
by Postmaster General Hitchcock in es-
tablishing the postal savings system was
again tested and proved in a recent GRIM
inai case in Chicago.
An eighteen-year-old boy. William Kle-
fsch, was arrested on attempting to cash
postal savings certificates that had been
stolen from Joseph Jaeger, the fact that
he was not the real owner becoming APP
parent from a comparison Of signatures.
At the trial it was shown that klefisch
was. associated with a gang of profess
sional sneak thieves who had stolen q
suit case containing the certificates.
Kiefisch was sentenced to a term in the
state refOrmatory, and his accomplices,
who were taken into custody later at ST.
Louis, are being held for indictment.

Albanian Soldiers' Duel.

From the London Chronicle.
The Albanians used to practice q form
Of dueling well nigh as fatal as that ad-
vocated by Sir Charles Napier. Sir Rich
ard Burton. who once commanded a
corps Of Bashi- Baxouks. writes that 1.-The
Albanian contingent, who generally fight
when they are drunk, had peculiar
style OF monomachy. The principals. at
friends. stood close opposite, each holding
4 cooked pistol In the right hand and q
glass OF raki. or spirits Of wine, in the
left. The first to drain his draught had
the right to fire, and generally blazed
away with fatal effect. 1t would have
been useless to discourage this practice,
but I insisted on fair play"

for Vice President IL Wilson were nomi'

Wilson gained sts in Iowa and Louisi-
ana gave him one more.
The Mississippi delegation was in eau

In tennessee Wilson gained one. Utah

twenty-six solid votes. and a cheer from
Abe Wilson adherents greeted the gain
of four votes.
Wilson Nearing the Nomination.
The forty-fourth ballot put Wilson only
p611 votes away from nomination. His
vote was GO. a gain of twenty-seven, as
compared with the forty-third ballot.
Clark dropped from 80 to 900. Under
wood had 90 Harmon q and Foss q.
The situation led to the belief that Will
son would be nominated on the forty
fifth ballot.
An effort was made at the end of the
forty-fourth roll call by the Washington
delegation to vote proxies on poll OF
that delegation. Chairman James insist
ed upon maintaining his position, former
~ taken. that no proxies should be voted
in the convention.
An appeal was taken from the conven-
ton, but the chair was sustained by q
roaring vote. which seemed almost
unanimous.
The poll of the Washington delega-
ton showed five of the twenty-eight
delegates. with half vote each, al
sent cutting Washington's vote In the
convention to liz. On the poll eight
of. these were cast for Clark and 31k
for Wilson, but Washington being un-
der the unit rule, fourteen votes were
recorded for Clark.
Expecting Break From Underwood.
An expected break in the solid Alabama
vote of twenty-four for Underwood failed
10 occur on the forty-flfth ballot. The
Wilson people are anxiously awaiting a
change in the Alabama vote in the hope
that it would start the final landslide for
their candidate.
There was less disorder in the conven-
ton today than at any other session dur
ing the week The tired delegates We're
anxious only to conclude their work and
they balloted without delay. Demonstra-
lions which marked other sessions OF the
convention were missing in the early
balloting today, and the gains OF Wilson
failed to start anything unusual.
Although Wilson made slight gains
early in the forty-f1ftl1 ballot, there We're
no serious breaks in the dwindling Clark
ranks.
Seeking the Underwood Vote.
During this ballot the Wilson leaders
worked like beavers to secure the Under
wood strength for the New Jersey man.
A. Mitchell Palmer, leader Of the Wilson
forces, visited the Alabama delegates and
earnestly urged them to throw their
strength to Wilson, but he could secure
no agreement.
The forty-fifth ballot resulted: Clark,
3O6; Wilson, 633; Underwood, 81; Harmon.
-: Foss. %.
A poll of the New Mexico delegation
on this ballot showed an inclination to
break the solid eight Clark votes. but
they were held by the unit rule.
New York's ninety again went to Clark
and hope Of nomination On this ballot
was lost.
In Ohio Wilson gained, the vote being

WAS SURE OF SUCCESS:
Different THEORIES TO
ACCOUNT FOR EXPLOSION

Vaniman. because OF his genial DISPOSE
ton. had endeared himself to the citizens
OF Atlantic City, and his untimely end
caused universal sorrow here. To a re-
porter who recently interviewed him he
expressed the greatest confidence in the
ability Of the Akron to make good on
all that was claimed for it. He was keenly
aware OF the dangerous nature of the gas
used for initiating the bag. and he felt
that it was safe from explosion, as no
fame could reach it.
One theory of the cause Of the explosion
is that gasoline used for operating the
engines, exploded, and in turn communi-
Gated to the gas in the balloon.
Vaniman had recently been testing an
entirely new material for the gas bag Of
his balloon. 1t is reinforced with wire,
and Vaniman claimed that with it he
could construct q balloon that would
neither expand nor contract, thus pro-
ducing a dirigible that would be abso-
lutely under the control of engines and
steering aDparatuS

Three Widows of Victims Meet.

Three Of the widows Of men killed
Bourtillion and Mrs. Elmer. They had
gathered at the Vaniman cottage,
across from the hangar, within an hour
after the accident. Outside the little
cottage was a crowd OF probably ten
thousand persons, women, children and
men, all saddened. downcast and some
in tears over the oppressive sorrow OF
it all
Policemen were on guard around the
Vaniman house to keep back the NOR
bid. Every one seemed to feel deeply
the solemnity of the moment.
Mrs. Vaniman, although she tainted on
the porch of her little dwelling when
she saw her husband dropping to his
death. stood the strain better than the
others after she finally became conscious
and was upon her feet. Mrs Bourtillion
and Mrs Elmer wept on Mrs. Vaniman's

Had Removed Wireless.

On his last two trips Vaniman dispensed
with the services Of his wireless tele-
graph operator, and had removed the
apparatus. thus giving his crew additional
room In the working quarters.
That somebody had let too much free
gas into the engines and backed up the
exhaust was the theory of Chief Black
of the fire department, who was on hand
with his men to help in launching the bal
loon. II had no idea there was anything
wrong until I suddenly saw the smoke
change to fame and saw the entire rear
end of the big gas bag go up as though
by explosion" he said.
I'VE heard the screams Of the doomed
men across the water. The sight was
awful. The big balloon dipped down by
the stern and started toward the earth
at terrific rate. / turned my head
away, but the screams OF the crowd
forced me to turn back and saw the big
balloon collapse like q burst lite and
dived down toward the water
Another theory for the cause of the
disaster is that dangling rope OF
the rigging dragged into the big pro-
pellers, whipped up against the stern
end OF the balloon and snapped of
enough of the cone to free the gas,
allowing the vapor to sweep into the
engines and explode.
