INDIANA TO BE
SUNK WITH BOMBS
tRy Associated Press.l

Washington, Oct. "a. - Explosive
tests will be made this week with the
old battleship Indiana in lower Chesa-
pealxe bay, by placing bombs in various
parts of the ship to demonstrate their
destructive effect had they been drop
ped from the air.
Already airplanes flying over the
Indiana have demonstrated the practi-
cability of hitting a target of that size
from a height of 1000 to 5000 feet,
but the bombs used were dummies and
the test was merely one of accuracy.
After the bombing experiments the
old warship will be anchored in Tan
gier Sound as a target for ships of the
Atlantic fleet, which will use a new
type of projectile.

Cuban Campaign Without
Prospect of Revolution
Election of Monday, Nov. /, Will
Be First Under New Law
Framed by Gen. CrOwder.
(sy Associated Press.)

Havana, Oct. 24.-The Cuban pres
idential campaign is nearing the end
with little talk this year of a revoIu-
tion. The leader Of the 1912 revolu-
tion General Jose Miguel Gomez, a
former president is the liberal nomi-
nee. On the ticket with him is Miguel
Arrange, a former conservative and a
sugar millionaire. The Gomez attempt
to overthrow the government of
President Menocal, who is serving his
second term, brought many twists and
changes in Cuban politics, and today,
the old party line up is shattered.
In place of the once strong conserv-
ative party, there is the coalition or
national league, comprising. members
of the conservative and popular wings
The coalition nominee is DR. Alfredo
Zayas, candidate for vice president
under Gomez in 1912, and supported
by Gomez as the liberal candidate for
president four years later. The vice
presidential candidate is Francisco
Garlic, a former conservative.
The election to be held Monday, No
vember l win be the first under the
law framed by Major General Enoch
Crowder the American war time pro-
vost martial general. 1t is designed
to prevent fraud. General Crowder's
main object was to stop ballot box
stuffing and voting on dead mems
names.
While both sides are claiming vic
tory. General Gomez followers are
doing the most shouting. The general
is out in the provinces campaigning.
being stopped occasionally in his
travels by the dynamiting of bridges
over which he was expected to pass.
AS a precautionary measure, Presi-
dent Menocal has issued a decree
against carrying arms. Soldiers are
held in readiness for any emergency.
and the polls will be guarded by
troops election day. Gomez managers
declared today they could be defeated
only by fraud. Already the are OBJ
tanning evidence, they said, to prove
conspiracy to defraud their candidate
The army, which captured Gomez
seems to be most concerned in the
outcome as some high officers are ap-
prehensive as To how they might fare
should Gomez comes into power.

CITRUS FLY TO
BEQUARANTINED
Drastic Measures May be Adopt
ed to Prevent Importation
of Black Pest.
(By GEORGE n. MANNINc,.

Washington, Oct 24-Drastic meas
ures may be adopted by the United
States Department of Agriculture to
prevent the importation into this
country of the citrus black fly. Sec
retary of Agriculture Meredith is
considering the advisability of quar-
antining Cuba, the Bahamas, Jamaica.
Canal Zone, Costa Rica, India, the
Philippine Islands, CeyIon and Java.
where this insect pest is at present
thriving and which has attacked
many plants in the regions named.
The department points out that
there is danger of bringing this pest
into this country in connection with
shipment of fruits and vegetables in
the raw or manufactured state,
with plants or portions of plants used
in packing material. 1t may be
brought in also in litter and rubbish
in railway cars from Cuba as well
as in or on the cars themselves. Be
fore any quarantine against the coun-
tries named is ordered, the depart
ment will grant a hearing in Wash
ington on December 20 to all parties
interested
1t is not likely that the restrictions
which may be placed on the move
ment of the products named will be
in the nature of an embargo Pro-
vision will probably be made for the
entry of fruits and vegetables at GER
tain designated ports after inspection,
cleaning or disinfection under the
supervision of Department of Agri-
culture agents. Railway cars from
Cuba will also be disinfected, and all
such methods of transportation will
be thoroughly cleaned of all litter and
rubbish before embarkation.

eral of the seven balloons which left

the International race for the Gordon
Bennett trophy, were received from
Illinois and Indiana towns tonight.

and all seemed to be drifting in a
generally northward direction toward
the Great Lakes and Canada.
Four balloons were sighted at Mar
ion, Illinois, in the Southern part of
the State and almost due north from
Birmingham, at 80 a. m. The Good
year II, was in the lead and was the
only bag identified. Thirty minutes
later, Johnson City. about ten miles
north of Marion, glimpsed five bal
looms. Four were flying about 5000
feet up. but the Goodyear II was
only a few hundred feet from the
ground and was easily identified.

spreading out somewhat in this ter
ritory for Pana, reported three be-
tween IL and / p. m. Windsor re-
ported Upson holding his lead at
d. m. and Danville fifty miles east
and an equal distance north of Pana
signed a balloon at 1 p. m. One of
the entries passed over Logansport,
Ind, at 4:30 D. m. 1t was reported
at a great height, and headed north
east toward Lake Erie. Champaign, IL
linois sighted the Goodyear ii at p.
m. and reported that the American
entry still lead over the others. No
more than five of the balloons have
been sighted by aone person at one
time but the bag seen at Logans-
port was not believed here to be one
of the five which were headed across
Illinois during the day.

loon birmingham" which left the
field half an hour in advance of the

at noon today in corn field near
