sneclai to the Evening Star.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July f3.-Word
was anxiously awaited today of the
San Francisco 1915, the only balloon
i'm the national elimination not yet
reported down. Seven were down
late last night. Contrary currents
had tossed them back and forth on
their course, and of the seven report
ed the Goodyear, of Akron, Ohio, had
covered the greatest distance. having
landed in Constance, Ky, about 300
miles from st. Louis. The others
landed as follows Pennsylvania.
near Rockville. ILL.,. about $50 miles;
Uncle Sam, Clay county. Ind. about
1876 miles; Aero Club, ST. Louis, near
Terre Haute. about $50 miles; Amer
ica Ill, near Princeton, Ind, about
13S miles: Kansas City H., near En-
field, ILL.,, about 1873 miles; Miss
Sophia, near Foot Rock, Ill, about 1872
miles.
Nearly all the gas bags encountered
severe electrical storms, which forced
them down, although lack of ballast
was a deciding factor. Most pilots, IN
an unsuccessful effort to find a trav-
cling current, threw over most OF
their ballast early Saturday evening.
The best xample of the adverse air
currents was the flights of the Amer
lea III, which crossed st. Louis four
times Saturday night.
Aero officials were today in doubt
which way the San Francisco 1915 had
gone. Although that bag was sighted
at Dahlgren, ILL.,, yesterday. balloon

DEMANDS THAT

Cooperation in SIPS, 900, 900
Case Against Morgan.


BOSTON. July Whippie, sears
& Ogden, attorneys, representing mi
ncrity stockholders of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
have demanded that the directors
join their clients in the suit TO re-
cover about s125. 900 alleged to have
been wasted by the management.
The suit. which. it is said, will be
FLED this week. is to be directed
against the estate of j. P. Morgan,
William Rockefeller. Lewis Cass Led
yard and others, who We're members
of the New Haven directorate at the
time that transactions that have
been the subjects of inquiry by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
we're made. In a letter to the diree-
tors, made public today, the attorneys
refer to the testimony concerning New
Haven investments which proved un-
profitable, brought out by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, and
continues:
1T is our Judgment. therefore, that
directors are liable Tor these losses
which have so plainly resulted from
their neglect of judiciary duty. On
this ground the corporation is entitled
to recover from its directors the diff
ference which was actually paid out
for these investments, and their ac-
tual values. a sum amounting to not
less than $94 .000. 600
"It now seems practically conceded
that all these purchases, trolleys,
steamship lines and Boston and Maine
shares alike, were also in violation of
the federal antitrust act, and on that
ground Illegal.
'tOn this ground, in our opinion, the
railroad is entitled TO recover from
its directors s125. .000.0 600. the aggregate
amount paid for the Boston and Maine
shares and steamship and trolley
lines"
'In conclusion the letter reads.
1--WE, therefore, in behalf of our
clients. who are. and during all the
period Of the transactions hereinto
referred TO, have been stockholders,
respectfully demand that you insti-
tute proper legal proceedings to en-
force the Inability OF directors to the
corporation which we have pointed
out, and such other liability as may
be disclosed as a result of careful
and thorough Investigation of the
company's affairs

rity stockholders to file such suit

MAY GET
MEXICO CITY BY
PEACEFUL MEANS
Hope to Avert Military Con-
quest of capitatgby Con-
stitutionalists.


WASHINGTON. sn}fv 1S.--Mexice
city was looked to today as the place
where the next big scene in the Mex
ican situation would be staged. With
Huerta about 10 quit and turn over
his affairs to his new foreign minis
ter, Francisco Carbajal hope was ex-
pressed that way might be found
peacefully to transfer the government
to the Constitutionalists and avert
military conquest of the capital by
their triumphant forces.
Carranza has announced his un-
willingness to deal with carbajal re-
garding him as the creation of
Huerta. Nevertheless, it has been
suggested that parleys for the quick
transition of power might take place
if Carbajal appeared in the role Of
representative of faction, rather
than as provisional head of a govern
ment which the Constitutionalists re-
fuse to recognize. CarranZa. it was
declared. intended to follow the plan
of Guadalupe, which provides for
military occupation of the capital.
However, several European and
South American nations, it was said.
might frown on such course. They
regard with apprehension the possi-
bility of fighting in Mexico City ana
forceful assumption of power with
out some previous guarantee to the
populace- II has been strongly init
mated that if Carranza, after
Huerta's elimination, should insist
upon his original program. disa
pproval would be manifested by sew
eral nations. They nigh refuse to
recognize the Conustitutionaist lead
er unless he showed disposition TO
give some quarter
Indications were not lacking, how
ever, that a way might be found for
the transfer of power without much
further Fighting. The impression
prevailed widely in Washington that
hostilities in Mexico We're near an
end. 1t is suggested that if arrange
ment of peace were settled upon, Car
rama could enter the capital with
cnly a comparatively small force 10
help preserve order The remainder
of his armies would remain at tn
capitals gates or near their present
headquarters. to be dispersed upon
the restoration of peace
All hope of any parley between rep
resentatives ef Huerta who took part
in the Niagara proceedings and the
Constitutionalists upon the basis pro-
posed by the South American ENJOYS
practically has been abandoned.
