DEVASTATED BELGIUM
DEPICTED BY robertson
Traveloguer's Motion Pictures Show
Unhappy Refugees Fleeing From
Smoldering Ruins of Towns.

Another big audience was in Con-
vention Hall last evening to partici-
pate in the picture-tour through dev-
astated Belgium with Traveloguer ROD
erson. The attendance was even larger
than Monday. when the first exhibitions
were given of the four films of motion
pictures. "On Belgian Battlefelds."
A profound sympathy for the Belgian
people was created by the pictures
showing cities and towns leveled
houses demolished and the people fee
Ing in terror from the smoldering ruins
of what had once been their MONIES.
There was no one present who did not
and its horrors.
Every one who has seen the war pic
lures has been hearty in praise.
They are grand pictures" said one
man standing in the lobby after last
evenings exhibition. Il did not sup
pose that it was possible for motion
pictures to show 1t all so clearly"
Example of Destruction.
As an example of destruction, Travel
oguer Robertson cited the case of the
town of Alost which before the war
contained some $4,000 structures of one
sort or another After the shelling by
the enemy and the subsequent fire, only
eighteen remained intact. And the pic
lures bore out the statement. The
whole town was shown almost leveled
to the ground.
The talk by Mr.. Robertson serves to
keep interest in the pictures at high
tension. All scenes shown on the screen
are fully explained and facts and fig
ures regarding the great war are there
in abundance.
The pictures will continue to be
shown in Convention Hall during the
next four days. Those planning to see
them are advised to attend as early as
possible, thus eliminating the poss1-
bility of not being able to get In dur
ing the last few exhibitions.
The admission for the war pictures
remains the same as for the travelogues.
And even at the small price of 10 cents
one-half the proceeds goes to the Bel
gian Red Cross to assist in carrying on
the work which the pictures show Is
needed so much. With the ten-cent
tickets the coupon from the first page
of The Star is necessary. For twenty
fve-cent tickets, however, in the re-
served section, the coupon is not re-
quired. These may be secured In ad-

vealed today when President Wilson

than ten years for the crime a jury de-
cided last September Tom Watson, now
in the Oklahoma penitentisry. committed.
He has been In Leavenworth since Feb
ruary, 1907, when he was convicted, but
was in jail also for nearly four years
previously awaiting trial
The crime was the killing of Cicero
Coltrane, a cousin Of Samuel Coltrane,
who had leased a farm near Hochstown,
Okl., and had Samuel Coltrane and Tom
Watson and the latter's wife with him as
helpers. Cicero Coltrane was killed by
shot from double barreled gun, May
p, 1903, and buried in a nearby field.
Harry Saunders, a witness who could

two quick shots A few minutes before
they had met Samuel Coltrane more than
half mile from the house going in the
opposite direction from them and with a

GYRoSCoPE RIGHTS PLANE
American Invention to Control Air
craft Demonstrated 90
French Army.

Striking demonstrations OF a stabilizing
dovice for aeroplanes were made at
Bezons, near Paris, by an American
named Sperry and his son.
The device. which weighs only forty
pounds and measures about eighteen
inches across by twelve inches high. is
based on a quadruple gyroscope and is
driven by electric power generated by the
engine Of the aeroplane. One pair Of
gyroscopes work the elevatlng planes
and are so balanced that the moment
the planes are at a dangerous angle
the horoscopes throw them back into
correct position. The other pair keep
up an automatic lateral balance.
Mr.. Sperry and his son rose from the
Seine with a mechanic in a Curtiss water
plane. At a height of about coo feet both
the pilot and the passenger rose from
their seats and the. mechanic climbed
out on the lower plane of the machine
to point about six feet from its center
or gravity, Mr.. Sperry, meantime stand
ing with his arms above his head The
gyroscope kept the machine balanced.
The mechanic then clambered to the tail
of the machine. For the fraction OF a
second the waterplane quivered, and the
tail sank downward. Immediately, how
ever, the balance apparatus set to work
and brought the machine back into per-
feet equilibrium
Five times the experiments were re-
peated, then the Sperrys brought the
machine down to the water in splendid
volplane, which also was regulated auto
maticaly.
Commandant Barres and Captain
Chasles of the French army air CORPS
M. Maurin, Lieutenant Colonel Renard
and several other air experts were pres
ent and were greatly interested. Com
mandant Barres went for a trip with
Sperry's son. who demonstrated the auto
matte rise from the water balancing in
the air, and the automatic volplane down
to the water.
Mr. Sperry, who is a scientific instru-
ment maker. claims that his device cor
rects automatically any error made by
pilot. If the pilot tries to bank at too
steep an angle or to descend too rapidly
the gyroscope at once pulls the controls
back to their proper position. II the
speed of the machine drops dangerously
low the gyroscope device starts auto
matically and the aeroplane volplanes
downward.
