BIG BALLOON
BREAKS LOOSE
lBy Associated Pressl

Mineola, July 7-The R-34 was
torn from its moorings this morn
ing by violent gust of wind. A
cross girder broke under its
strain, ripping hole 63 feet large
in the gas bag. Three hundred
men seized ropes hanging from
its sides, and held the dirigible
down with great difficulty.
Later Major Scott, its COM
mander, announced definitely the
airship will start on it's return
journey at S o'clock tomorrow
morning, flying over Boston. He
said it will not encircle New
York before turning east.
Relief parties of seven balloon
companies hold the dirigible to
earth until she starts, abandoning
the concrete mooring pillars built
for that purpose, The return will
be over the same course as the
pioneer flight.
Major Stone announced he will
attempt to shape the course of the
R-34 to pass over the George

KILLING AT COLORED
CHURCH IN COUNTY
Bruce Maupin Shoots Tom Old
ham To Death, Claiming He
Was Advancing With Razor

Tom Oldham, colored, was shot
and instantly killed in front OF
Goodloe's Chapel, colored
church near Brassheld, by Bruce
Maupin, another negro Sunday
afternoon. Services were in
progress inside the building at
the time of the killing, and there
is said to have been but one wit
ness to the affair, negro named
billiard Todd.
Maupin shot Oldham three
times; two balls taking effect in
the head and the third in the
body and death was instantane-
Gus. Maupin says that Oldham
was advanced upon him with a
drawn razor threatening his life,
and that he shot to save himself.
Immediately after the killing, he
came to town, and was arrested
by Chief of Police Claude Devore
at the home Of Monroe Bates in
the east end. He is now in jail
and will have an examining trial
this week. Both negroes lived at
Brassheld.
Maupin is % years of age and
unmarried. Oldham was about
30, and is survived by his wife.
In a statement made Monday
morning, Maupin said that Old
ham was cursing him and threat
ening to cut his head off when he
pulled out the razor and came af-
ter him. Maupin said that Old
ham accused him of being too
friendly with his wife, but Maupin
denied this vigorously in talking
with officials and a reporter in the
county jail. He said that several
friends had told that Oldham was
threatening to kill him and that
he had taken his gun along with
him for that reason.
Squire Todd held an inquest
over the body of Oldham and
brought in verdict in accordance
with the facts

JOE CHENAULT ASKS
SW0PE A QUESTION
1t Republican Congressional Candi-
date Trying to Make Political
Capital Out of His Army
Service.

City Attorney Joe P. Chenault,
who during the war served his
country faithfully and well as
Private Chenault, and did not
have the privilege and pleasure
of wearing shoulder straps and
spurs, has written a letter to
Capt. King Swope, republican
candidate for congress, in answer
to one that he received from Capt.
Swope, appealing for his vote on
the ground that soldiers should
stand together. Mr.. Chenault's
letter will be read with interest.
He wrote as follows:
July 8, 1919.
Hon. King Swope,
Republican Candidate For Congess.
Eighth Congressional District.
Dear Sir:
Have just received a personal let
ter from you, the Republican Candi-
date for Congress-, asking for INV
support in your race for Congress-
against Judge Charles A. Hardin,
the Democratic nominee.
/ assume that you know and knew
when you wrote the letter that l am
a Democrat. Your letter contains
these words: 81 believe that all
men who were in service should stand
together regardless of politics."
meaning military service in the re-
cent war. | am puzzled, as it never
occurred to me to use the fact of
my service as a private soldier for
political purposes or to make capital
out Of SO natural service. I am at
loss to know just what meaning to
read into your words-do you mean
that political nomination should be
disregarded when a soldier has been
nominated by one party against a
loyal patriotic citinzen who did his bit,
nominated by an opposing party?
To make it perfectly clear, and in
order that we may be sure of your
meaning, I would like direct answer
from you to the following hypothetical
question: Would you, if you had a
vote in the Ashland District and
Judge Kerr, of Lexington, Circuit
Judge, was the Nominee of the Re-
publican Party for Congress and had
as an opponent a Democrat, who had
seen the same service as you have
and achieved the same military rank
as yourself, who was the nominee of
the Democratic Party, vote for the
Democratic Nominee and ignore the
action of your Party; in other words,
would you vote against Judge Kerr,
the Republican Nominee, and for the
Democratic Nominee on the strength
of the fact alone that he had been an
officer in the Army?
have put the question in this way
because l understand that Judge
Charles A. Hardin is the Circuit Judge
of four counties in this Congressional
District; that he has served in this
capacity with distinguished ability, as
has Judge Kerr in his District, and
who, like Judge Kerr, made many
speeches and did strenuous work in
organization and raising subscrip-
tions for relief work, and in unifying
sentiment to back up the boys in the
trenches, and who stood by them by
literally giving of his means in all
the calls made by our country.
AS you have never stated your par
ticular service and record in the
Army, / cannot put your case strong
er than I have in this question.
Please answer this for | am sure
you are perfectly sincere and would
not do for me under like circum-
stances.
Respectfully,
J. P. CHENAULT.

OPENS
THIS AFTERNOON

The Orchestral Sextette is op-
ming the Redpath Chautauqua
program this afternoon with the
first number of the weeks enter
tainment. A good crowd is out
for the opening performance not
withstanding it is court day and
everyone is busy.
Tonight, Miss Ada Ward, Of
London, lectures on Getting To-
gether." She is said to bring a
message that is worth while and
which everyone will appreciate
hearing. She will undoubtedly
be heard by large audience.
A big feature of the Chautauqua
will be the debate on government
ownership, in which a former
cabinet official will participate.
Leslie M. Shaw, secretary Of the
Treasury in the cabinet of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and twice COVER
nor of Iowa, will debate on the
fourth night of the Chantauqua,
with Charles Zueblin, well known
writer and lecturer on national
and international problems, the
great subject of government own
ership and Mr.. Shaw will take the
negative side,
The speakers in the debate have
been chosen by the Chautauqua
management for their comprehen-
sive expert knowledge of the en-
tire matter and also their ability
as public speakers. Mr.. Shaw
and Mr.. Zueblin will discuss the
question from every angle in an
authoritative manner and then
having heard both sides of the
question, people will be more able
to arrive at a just and fair con-
clusion on this important prob
lem.
Mr.. Shaw is known as one of
the leaders of conservative
thought in financial and govern
mental spheres. Not only was he
secretary of the Treasury under
Roosevelt and governor of Iowa
but he has been president of two
great banking institutions, the
Carnegie Trust Company of New
York and the First Mortgage
Guarantee and Trust Company of
Philadelphia. In 1896 he was
made permanent chairman of the
International Monetary Com
mission.
Charles Zueblin has studied ma
tional and international problems
all his life. He is known as an
effective and eloquent exponent
of democracy in the broad sense
of that word. To him democracy
means the life of all by co-opera-
ton of all for the welfare of all.
