BALLOON ToWED ASHORE.
Finding of Basket Denied by
Officers on Tug.

By the Associated Press.
PORT STANLEY, Ont. July The
United States Naval balloon, piloted
by Lieut. L. J. Roth and his aide,
Lieut.. T. B. Null. which started from
elimination race. was brought here
tonight by the tug Frank l. Stanley,
which found it, collapsed and water
soaked. on Lake Erie about twenty
Ave miles south-southeast of here.
The basket of the balloon was not
found. contradicting earlier reports
received here.
Clothing of the missing airmen, for
whom hope has been virtually aban-
doned. was found in a bag attached
to the rigging of the gas bag. A
small clock, part of the balloon equip
; ment, was found. 1t had stopped at
2:44. Roth's watch. found in his
clothes, had stopped at 4:30.
d. H. Jackson of Port Stanley, who
received teIegraphic requests from
the United States Navv Department
late today to take charge of all
salvage from the wreck, was given
custody of the balloon and equip
ment and clothing found by the tug
Stanley.
Search Dropped.
The search for trace of the airnen
was temporarily abandoned at night
fall, but several boats will put our
from here at break of day Sunday
to search for the basket and the
men.
The tapering end of the gas bag
was slashed about six inches from
the end. apparently in a desperate
effort by the aviators to let the gas
out as bag and basket struck the
water.
There was nothing to indicate how
far the bag may have drifted after
having been cut away from the bas-
ket. The distance may have been as
great as fifty miles. according to
some shipping men here.

The uniforms of both pilots were

bag of the half-submerged craft, the
report said. and with them was the
log, an extra leather coat and a pair
of gauntlets. The balloon was partly
inflated, but the basket was missing.
indicating, in the opinion of naval
officers, that the two men had cut 1t
loose and abandoned their clothing
under stress.
Navy officials said the presumption
that the basket was cut loose encour-
aged them to the belief the two Off
GERS are still alive. The basket was
fitted with pneumatic rings which
would enable 1t to float for many
days.
Hope Wanes Here.
Later reports from Port Stanley
telling of the finding of the basket
and the food supply threw damper
on the enthusiasm of the officials. al
though they refused to abandon all
hope. They pointed out that the bas-
ket might have been used as a tenn
porary refuge by the aeronauts until
passing vessel took them off. but
this hope was weakened somewhat by
the fact that the log and uniforms
were still aboard the balloon.
The search for the men will con-
tinue at daybreak, the officials said,

able to command. The bureau of
naval aeronautics remained open late
into the night communicating with
stations near the accident. Dis

Recent enactment of the Cuban lot

the ambassador and the views of the
United States government. Not alone
was the bill itself Objectionable from
the American point Of view but the
