BALLOON LIKE BIG TADPOLE
Latest French Aircraft for Observation
Purposes Requires Fifty Men
to Maneuver IL.

Among the latest triumphs OF the
French aerial service is an observation
balloon, named lie Caquot," writes a
Paris correspondent. In shape II re-
sembles a great tadpole. Whereas 9TH
er types are Inconvenience by a wind
Of from 90 to So feet a second. lie
Caquot can remain in the air unless
the wind exceeds Go to rs feet per Sec
ond.s
IL takes so experienced men to ma
neuver it, for as soon as IL leaves the
shed great attention must be paid to
the wind currents, so as TO save the
envelope from being torn. Attached to
the balloon is a wicker car, In which
the observer is installed with his maps,
charts, arms. ~barometers, and tele-
as TO leave his hands free. He is also
provided with glass and a white silk
parachute for an emergency.
When the balloon attains an alti-
tude Of from 1000 feet to 5000 feet
the windlass to which the cable is fixed
Is drawn by horses or motor car at a
moderate pace to a point near the en-
envy lines, where a refuge ~excavated
In the soil has been prepared. This
accomplished, the observer transmits
his instruction by telephone.
Two anti-aircraft posts are estab-
lished nearby to keep off enemy air
planes. If the balloon is menaced the
crew bring 1t down from 5000 feet In
seven to ten minutes.

ATLANTA SODA DISPENSER
SHOT BY HIGHWAYMEN

ATLANTA, Ga, February 26.-That
it does not pay to start anything with
highwaymen unless you can finish it
was proven in the case of D. S. Cheyes,
a soda dispenser of this city, who,
when held up early yesterday morning
on his way home, threw his hand to
his hip picket and told the two negroes
he would blow their heads off if they
made a crooked move. The trouble
was he had no gun, and the negroes
did. One of them opened fire and
shot Cheves three times, inf1icting
wounds from which he is expected to
die. The holdup occurred near his
home and his wife heard the shots
and his cry for help.

For we really have the goods
You cant build at Americas,
Why, no sir, shes still in the woods
And too small to even make fuss
So Uncle said, yes, he would go
And so right away he made the

To town a few miles below,
Arriving these, then began the fun.
Sirs, Uncle said, what can you show?
Show! Why, sir, lust look and see'

A better place for aviation.
Doubtless it will suit you to ct
Well, said Uncle, we'll now begin
BY seeing where we can put a camp.
Can we now take spin
And see every possible samp
For a site to put the flyers in?
Sure, and they spun from side to

Up and down from end to end,
All around, and far and iwde,
Viewed the surveys beautiful blend,
But no camp site was really spied.
My regrets are most profound,
Said Uncle, while it. sa splendid

There is too much town around.
For the camp, you lose the race,
The city occupies all the ground.

But the camp must be extra plus,
The best that can possibly be.
All this will be at Americas.

Of LAWYERS

TOWSON, Md, Feb. IA jury
of twelve men in the Towson circuit
court has agreed that the answer to
the question of "Who killed Lottie
Nay Brandon?" is "John Snowden." I"
For eight days they heard evi-
dence from the State and the de-
fense IN the case of the State VS..
John Snowden, the negro ice wagon
driver Of Annapolis, charged with
the murder.
It required only thirty-fve min
utes after the case went to them
last night at $50 o'clock to arrive at
q verdict.
Counsel today had not definitely
determined whether an appeal would
be taken
Verdict Satisfies.
Many of those who have been in
constant attendance at the trial and
have heard the evidence offered by
both State and defense are satisfied
with the verdict. They say that the
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree" returned by the jury was rhe
only verdict that could have been re-
turned under the evidence.
Snowdsn's stoicism that was mark
ed throughout the trial. began TO
break during the closing argument of
States Attorney Nicholas H. Green, of
Anne Arundel county.
Green's argument consumed only
thirty-siX minutes, but it was de-
clared to have been one of the most
powerful addresses ever made to a
Towson jury.
Snowden grew nervous as the States
attorney detailed the case and pointed
out that the defense had failed in
every particular to shake the conclu-
sive circumstantial evidence introduc-
ed by the State.
Judges Charge Simple.
At the conclusion OF his address,
Judge Frank /. Duncan merely I'd
vised the jury that they could bring in
either one of five verdicts, the ex-
treme being murder in the first de-
gree, carrying the death penalty"
The jury retired and Snowden was
rushed to the prisoners cell in an
ante room.
