BALLOONISTS HAVE
AN EXCITING TIME
American Airmen Had To Get Out
or Race Because OF A Gale.

Bridlington, England, Oct. la
The American balloon Goodyear, one
of the contestants in the information
al race for the James Gordon Bennett
aeronautic cup, in which representa-
tives of eight nations started from
Paris Sunday, had an adventurous
Journey. The ballon with the pilots,
Ralph A. D. Preston and Ralph H.
Upton, on board, landed at Flam-
borough Head, on the North Sea,
within 200 yards of the end of the
dangerous compton Cliffs, which
fall sheer into the sea.
When the Goodyear left Paris on
Sunday the weather was hazy, and
there was scarcely any wind. The
balloon drifted slowly across Central
Channel. The coast was reached in
the neighborhood Of Cherbourg at
midnight on Monday. The wind then
frashened and the aeronauts sighted
Southampton at o'clock ON Tues
day morning. They began north
ward journey, but the wind latter in
creased to half a gale and Mr.. Upton
decided that it was unwise to con-
tinue.

MISS NANCY LEISHMAN

Paris, Oct 15.-That the coming
wedding of Miss Nancy Toishman,
daughter of the EX-United States Am
bassador to Germany, and the Duke Of
Croy, which will take place here on
October 2S, is the result of simon
pure love match is made very evident
by the determination of the young
couple to get through with the match
in spite of the enormous influence that
has been brought to bear in an effort
TO prevent the wedding. The men,
bers of both the French and German
branches of the House of Croy make
no effort to conceal their opposition
of the High German Nobility Assocla-
ton in Berlin last May the members
unanimously decided that: Miss Nam
cy Leishman can never expect to be
recognized by German court as a
duchess or a 'highness' that no mar
riage with the Duke of Croy could be
regarded as regular unless the bride
were a woman of royal birth" Some
members of the family of Croy have
gone so far as to describe the propos-
ed marriage as "morganatic union"

SUFFERS GUILT
IS FORESHADOWED
Thirty Nine Members of I'M
parchment Court Vote to
Find Him Guilty.
AT A SECRET SESSION
Whole Matter Will BE Ended To-Day.
His Renewal From Office
Is Assured.
AT A SECRET SESSION

Albany, n. Y, Oct 1.-THE final
vote on the fate of William Sulzer
was sharply foreshadowed late today
when thirty-nine members of the i'm
parchment court, speaking informally
in secret session, indicated their be-
lief that he should be convicted on the
first article of impeachment. This
charges violation of the corrupt prac-
tees act in filing his statement OF
campaign contributions. Eighteen
members, including three judges of the
court of appeals, disagreed. The first
article was the only one considered.
No vote was taken and the expression
of opinion was merely preliminary to
the taking of one tomorrow. Thirty
eight votes are enough for conviction.
Adjournment was taken Immediate
ly following its action, about which
the utmost secrecy was thrown.
So determined were the members OF
the court to clear away all the OBJ
stacles to speedy conclusion Of tbs
case that they ignored the usual hour
of adiournment-5:30 -and remained
in session until shortly after seven.
BY this time the informal discussion
of the governors guilt or innocence
which was taken up alphabetically
had been tnded and an adjournment
was taken until 1920 O'clock tomor-
row morning.
1t is the hope and belief of every
member of the court that the whole
matter will be ended tomorrow. This
will make big days work as all the
articles will be first taken up and dis
cussed in secret session, and on the
final vote, which will be held in pub
lie, nearly every member of the court
will state his reasons for his vote.
A conviction on any one article, oil
course, will dispose of the case so far
as Mr.. Sulzer is concerned, but even
after a conviction it will be necessary
for the court to say whether or not ne
shall be removed from his office anC
deprived of the right ever again tc
hold office of honor or profit under
the state government.
It is looked upon as extremely
probable that conviction will NEAR
removal from office. AS to imposing
the other penalty no one has guess
tonight.

harder to maagle in the rough sea
and Captain Barr remained outside
of the circle of ships comprising the
rescue fleet as precautlon against
collision.
Ernest PeiXotte, the we'll known
artist, said: I'VE all felt proud OF
CAPTAIN Barr for the work he did, but
when we learned that he only rescu-
ed one man from the Volturno we
were astonished. He certainly dld
great work in planning the rescue
but for some reason he lett the
actual work of taking Off the Voltur-
nors passengers and crew to the
other vessels. Perhaps he will eX-
plain this fully when he has the OPP
portunity."
John NJ. Adams, of Baltimore, SAID:
Captain Barr did not do any WORK
so far as the actual rescue was con-
cerned., The Carmania tried to, and
| guess, did boss the work, but the
vessel lay outside of the others ana
l did not see any of her boats launch
ed. He did great work with MS
searchlights in keeping the Volturno
lighted up as we'll as covering the
life boats in their passage to ana
from the burning ships
