sRUcKER FAILS TIC START
Gas Escapes and Big Balloon Sudden
" Becomes Debated

Las Palmas, Canary Islands, April
l7-Joseph Brucker, formerly of Mil
waukee, failed to start as scheduled
today on his proposed transatlantic
flight TO the West Indies in the dirig.
ible balloon Suchard II. Just as all
preparations had been completed for
the flight at daybreak this morning,
the gas escaped in some manner
through the chief valves and the en-
yelope suddenly became Debated. Ur-
gent kilograms were sent to Germany
for further supply of gas.
Engineer Kruger, who had been en-
gagged to navigate the dirigible at the
last moment, made some demur about
undertaking the hazardous voyage
and the promoters of the flight took
out $4,000 insurance in his behalf.
Brucker expressed extreme annoy
ance over the accident A large crowd
which had waited for hours, hoping
to see the departure of the airship,
manifested much disgust at the post
ponement of the voyage.

Chicago, April 17.-That former

forth in deposition filed in the cir.

mantha l.. Huntley, former painter
of New York Miss Huntley is suing
Charles A. Houts of st. Louis, chair
man of a committee which raised
$1,000 for portrait of the former chief
executive of Missouri, and employed
her to execute the commission.
Miss Huntley says the $4,000 is due
her despite the refusal of the commit
tee to accept the work. She sets forth
her difficulties in executing her task,
and said that Gov. Hadley was almost
impossible as a subject. She offered
in evidence letters which she had
written to Miss Anita Moore, secre-
tary of the citizens committee. in
which the painter told her that her
subject appeared at one sitting wear
ing a green tie, but insisted that it
appear in the portrait as blue with
white polka dots, so as to conform
with the tie which former President
Roosevelt had worn when one of his
portraits was painted. Miss Huntley
said she compromised by making the
tie blue but leaving out the dots.

Davis, who stopped in Chicago for
a week on his wa.<>.%o the American
Federation of LabGr convention at
Seattle, was in Indianapolis at the
beginning of the street car strike.
'The fight of the men down there
shows the real battle that can be put
up for social justice when men goin-
to it with their whole heart, :" said
Davis, and the settlement of this
strike doesn't in any way reflect
credit on the governor of Indiana.
''All the credit should so to the
fight put up by the men, who became
tired of being made goats and deter
