ALA, Oct. S.-Sailing smoothly at
an altitude of $500 feet, the Shenah-
doah crossed the lower tip or the
Allegheny mountains at speed OIL
As miles an hour at o'clock a. m.
Atlanta was passed at 4:45 a. M,
just as day was breaking and the
Georgia metropolis was awakening.
The salvo of locomotive whistles
echoed up into the clouds to the
wonder of the ship.
Carrollton, Ga, was passed at
5:32 a. m.
The sun, a golden ball, was peep
ing over the eastern horizon of the
Blue Ridge foothills at a. m.
The haze broke away from their
tops, the rays of the morning sun
ripping in long lines like new
cloud field Banks of clouds lay
heavy in the valleys, the reddish dirt
roads looking like ribbons among the
green far below interlacing hilltops
and hidden valleys.
In some of the scattered homes
of the hills, farmers entire families
were gathered, gazing aloft as the
ship emerged from the dawn.
Towards dawn the head wind which
the ship had been bucking died down
and while the ships speed through
the air and the speed of its motors
did not change, it's speed over the
ground increased from 35 to 45 miles
an hour due to the dying out of
the wind
The course which was laid to At

THIRD PARTY LOSES
BATTLE To GET ON
LOUISIANA BALLOT

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. THE La
Toilette Wheeler forces lost their
first court fight in Louisiana last
night to have the names of their ten
electors placed on the official ballot
in the general election next month
when Judge w. c. Jones, of the dis
trict court at Baton Rouge, refused
to compel Secretary of State James
j. Bailey to print the names on the
ticket.
In diSmissing the mandamus pro-
ceedings filed by attorneys on be-
half of J. J. Finneran, head of the
La Toilette faction in this state,
Judge Jones sustained the exception
of W. III. Thompson, an assistant at
torney general, representing the sec.
rotary of state, of no cause or no
right of action and recalled the al
tentative writ issued against Mr..
Bailey a week ago.
Mr.. Bailey based his refusal to
place the names of the electors on
the ballot on the ground that the
state law requiring that 1000 sigma
lures of qualified electors had not
been complied with. He declared
that only 933 certified names were
presented to him. 1t was argued in
his behalf that it was not within
his discretion to accept the. nomina-
ton papers unless they were proper
ly made out.
There were 500 more names pre-
sented which had not been certified
to, he alleged.
The La Toilette attorneys declared
the discrepancy had been caused by
the refusal of Thomas Killeen, reg
istrar of voters in Orleans parish
New Orleans) to. certify the names,
after it was too late to file manda-
mus proceedings.
Judge Jones ruled that the New
Orleans signatures should have been
presented as registered electors to
the registrar.
II think the plaintiff has slept on
his rights; he should have
mandamused Mr.. Killeen," the court
stated
