BELGIUM SEEMS
 TO BE VICTOR IN HL-FATED RACE.
Five Die And Many Hurt As Balloons Cut AlooSe
 Into The Air

BRUSSELS, Sept. 25.--(By Asso- ciated Press.)-Belgium appears to have won the international balloon race for the Gordon Bennett again this year, with Demuiter landing his balloon Belgla at l o'clock Mon- day at about the center of Sweden, giving him a distance of about 500 miles. The fate of Veenstra, piloting the Prince Leopold, at this moment Is unknown.
 Demuiter's distance, when he won the trophy last year was 7S5 miles and his time was 15 hours, compared with 21 hours this year.
 The tragic race which started Sum day from the broad plain of Solbosch outside of Brussels, caused the death of five pilots or aides, the grave in- jury of one and less serious injuries to four others, the destruction of several balloons and the fall of two of them into the sea-all of which may lead to the race rules being changed for future contests.
 Dubois, who had a miracuous es- cape when the French balloon Savoie fell mass-like owing to the snow which collected on it, wants the race in June or July. Others are strong ly of the opinion that a more flaw orable season of the year for the contest would mean less danger to the lives of the contests.

PLAN INTERURBAN LINE
North And south Bessemer Bus Lines Ask Citx,s Formulation To Operate


 Commissioner W. B. Cloe let it be understood in the commission meet ing Tuesday morning that changing the name "jitney" to "taxicab' or bus" in order to get a license did not make a profound hit with him. Twice during the session applca- tons were made by companies to do business as taXicabs or buses and Tn each instance 1t was admitted that ordinary automobiles such as had been used as jitneys were to do the work.
 The first instance came up when former jitney men applied for H. censes to do business as taXicabs, the second was the application of F. A Seramur to operate two bus. lines between Birmingham and Bessemer, a North Bessemer line, which Gardner Goodwin, attorney for the applicant, said would meet all the requirements of the law, and a South Bessemer line, which he said he was not so sure did not infringe on the settle ment ordinance.
 The cars to make the trips were described as seven passenger auto mobiles.
 The application for the license will be considered by the commission.

BUSSES ID RESUME SERVICE AS COLD
 WEATHER ARRIVES
EnSIey Merchants AsSoCla- ton Announces ReSump-
 ton Winter Service
ENsI.EY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD I EnalaH- Ala. SanA- 2h

With the advent of cooler weather, st is expected that the busses owned by the Merchants association of Ems ley will be replaced in service after several months inactivity. It was stated Tuesday by James Dupuy that on account of the jitneys operating through the territory served by the busSes and at lower fares, that dur ing the summer traffic was not quite as great as during the winter. On that account the busses were discon- tiEued or all lines except Dolomi.e, which has proven to be the most re- muncrativo of all the lines operated from this section. While out of serv- ice the busses have been completely oVerhauled and made mechanically right, and 1t is stated they are In bet ter condition than ever before,
 The busses during the winter months serve a densely populated section and were not only self sup porting, which was all the merchants expected, but made slight profit.
 The trade in EnsIey campaign fos- tered to such a productive state by the Merchants association, was as- sisted materially by the bus lines, and it is believed that if the lines are Ieinsiated after ;he passing of warm weather and travellers prefer closd cars to the exposed jitneys, that the lines will prove fine trade builders ara will make up the deficit created by the warm days.
 in this connection it was stated following the meeting Tuesday that it was one of the best attended and most enthusiastic held here ately. The ecommittee reports wre intersI- ing. and plans outlined which were agreeable for the awarding of prizes on the forthcoming Tuesday. It was staItd that additional awards will be IT.
