Mrs. Cabaniss had been in her usual

kins, of the stores clerical force, who
is sleeping downstairs in the building
while an addition is being built at the

Another member of the clerical force,

shot he ran downstairs but the man
had gotten away. The police depart

Complete Alignment to Be Tried Out for First
Time-Secrecy Surrounds the Details.

Chicago. Monmouth, H.. Detroit, Mich. ;
Minneapolis. MINI; Dayton. Ohio, and

The balloon race will be for distance,
and the pilots must choose the best
wind currents at different attitudes and
dispose of ballast and gas to the best
advantage in order to land as far as
possible from the starting point. This
is said to involve hundreds of different
problems. 1t has been estimated that
the direction of the wind at the time of
year selected has averaged a northwest
erly course during the last forty years.
II this condition should prevail this year
1t would take the balloon far into Can
ada, and all the pilots will carry winter
equipment The race commonly runs
from 400 to 1900 miles and lasts from
eight to sixty hours. 1t Is expected
some of the balloons this year will be
in the air four or five days One balloon
party in the national race last year was
lest for days.
The Milwaukee program calls for an
inspection and visitors day on May 80.
On this day there will be q series of
airplane races around the city. May
81 the balloons will start.
The Aero Club of Wisconsin has stipu-
lated that each pilot must carry as bal
last 100000 circulars about Milwaukee
and it's business interests to be re-

PICTURES KENTUCKY
AS UNIONS SAVIOR
DR.. Shortridge Believes Refu-
sal to Follow slower South
Averted Dissolution.

Iowa CITY. Ia, May 13.-Had Ken
tuckv Joined the seeding States there
probably would have been a dissolution
of the Union" DIR. Wilson Porter Short
ridge, professor of history at the Uni
versity of Louisville, Louisville, KY,
told the Mississippi Valley Historical
Association at it's meeting here Few
days ago.
"a false move on the part OF the
President or the Union leaders in the
State would have meant that Kentucky
would have gone with the lower South,
said DIR. Shortridge. who compared the
position of Kentucky at the outbreak or
hostilities with that Of the United States
in attempting to maintain armed neu-
trality during the world war and traced
the transition of the State to final par
ticipation in the war for the Union. He
said in part:
THE impulse to follow the Cotton
States into secession was very strong
in 1S60-61, and it was only by very
skillful political maneuvering that this
action was delayed until after March 4.
1861. Even then it required the exer-
else Of great tact on the part Of Presi-
dent Lincoln to keep Kentucky in the
Union.
",rhe fact that Kentuckians were re-
lated by blood TO the people OF DOtH
slave and free States and that Ken
lucky was intimately bound to both sec
tions by economic ties had great in
fiuence in determining the attitude of
the State in 1861. The method used
was an attempt at neutrality between
the sections similar in some respects to
the attempt of the United States to
maintain neutrality between 1914 and
1917.
Kentucky declared neutrality partly
because public opinion in the State was
not crystallized Immediately one way or
the other and partly because of the hope
that by preserving neutrality between
the sections Kentucky might act as a
mediator in bringing hostilities to an
end. AS the difficulties of maintaining
neutrality increased Kentucky passed
into a position of armed neutrality. This
position was one step in the crystalliza-
ton of public opinion, and the eventual
outcome of the war was in large meas
ure dependant upon the outcome of the
situation in Kentucky. This fact was
recognized and fully appreciated by
President Lincoln.
THE question of the preservation oi
the Union was suspended at different
times by very slender threads, but per.
haps none was more slender than that
regarding the position that Kentucky
should ultimately occupy. For that rea.
son the story of the struggle first tc
maintain neutrality in Kentucky and
then to bring public opinion safely from
neutrality to participation in the strug.
gle between the sections has great i'm
portance in American history"

MILAN CHECK CLEW
TO AFRICAN MURDER
PinOtti Is Arrested in Mystery
Of Professor Mazzei
Two Years Ago.

Special Correspondence to THE New YORK
HERALD
MILAN, May 1.-The arrest here of
Giuseppe Pinotti. a young man of 2S.
is reviving interest in curious case
almost forgotten for two years. Pi-
notti, who has been living gay life
in an hotel here is suspected of having
murdered Prof Mario Mazzei, well
known economist. who died under nys-
terious circumstances in Dakar in Sene-
gambia, West Africa, In 1920.
Pinotti accompanied Prof. Mazzei as
his secretary on a propaganda tour
organized by the Italian Government to
Latin-America, where this country
wished to regain the prestige lost dur
ing the war The economist, who was
an expert on immigration problems and
an excellent speaker, was chosen to
head this mission. which met with great
success in Mexico, Brazil and Argentine.
Pinotti was marked for his patriotism
and for his devotion to Prof. Mazzei.
on the homeward voyage the ship
Princess Mafalda docked at Dakar for
coal. as ii had on the outward voyage.
Prof. Mazzei and his secretary landed
and went for a ride into the Sengalese
woods. Pinotti returned alone.
He reported to the ship authorities
that the professor. who was an enthu-
siastic hunter, had suddenly spurred off
in the direction of the village Bellaire
and disappeared. The boat was held up
while the crew made a thorough search
for the missing professor, but no trace
of him was discovered.
Some time after the Princess Mafaeda
had docked in Genoa the Sengalese
authorities discovered the corpse of
Prof. Mazzei in the woods. On his per-
son was his portfolio. revolver and
money, and there were no marks of
violence on his body.
Recently Francesca Mazzel, brother
of the professor, was summoned from
his home on Cecina TO Milan by the
Banca Belnzaghi He found In his
brothers account a cancelled check for
$4,000 lire forwarded by the Banca de
Italia y Rio de la Plata. The check was
made out to Francesca Mazzei, and in
dorsed by him in favor of Pnott. A
single glance was enough to show
Francesca Mezzel that his signature
had been forged
Then the search for Pinotti began.
He was easily located since for some
time he had been living suspiciously
extravagant life and was under SUR
veilance. When he was arrested,
Pinotti was at first very nervous. Later
he confessed that after the disappear
ance OF Prof. Mazzei he had returned
TO their common cabin and had taken
possession of the check. His guilt
ended there, he asserted. lie denied
that he had used any violence toward
Prof Mazzei. whom he said was sub.
ject to heart attacks, which might ex-
plain his death.

WAY is FOUND TO SALVAGE
WEALTH IN BURNING MINES
Confagrations That Have Lasted for Many Genera

Under a Million Tons of Mud

ANACONDA, Mon. May 13.-Fighting
fires in mines is a slow, tedious job
and since the dawn of mining has been
considered almost hopeless undertake
ing. Rich mines in many parts of the
world have been burning for genera
tions, their rich stores of wealth being
guarded from the hands of man by a
barrier of deadly gases and rock walls
white with the heat of fires smolder-
ing beyond.
But underground fires no longer are
to be considered unquenchable. as in
the Butte district a process of fire
fighting has been developed by the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
which is salvaging an ore body of
tremendous extent. Fires that have
been burning for fiftesa years in three
connecting mines are being smothered
under a million tons of mud.
BY the end of 1922 two million tons
of metalliferous ore, containing, ac-
cording to expert estimates. at least
$1,000 tons of copper, once more will be
accessible.
A great part of this store of wealth
already has come within the reach OF
the miners. and not only that but a
