Collier said that after he observed

the condition of the bags led him to
believe that a loss of helium was re-

Eight Year Old Youth
Lectured for Stealing

The eight-year-old son Of Steve Sa-
voy Of 104 Water street was brought
into the local police station yesterday
for stealing the sum of SO from the
small store on Gold street conducted
by Thomas Bourgoin. Although no
charge was preferred against the boy,
he was s:ernly lectured by Chief Gas
ke1l and warned Of the results of such
actions on his part in the future.
Mr.. Bourgoin's shop is in the house
in which he lives and at one time when
Mr.. Bourgoin was not In the store the
lad entered and took the money from
the cash box where there was total
of about $50. Several days later the
Savoy boy appeared with new clothing
and O pair Of shoes and questioning
caused him to confess.

had testified that when the ship was
on her uncontrolled ascent just be-
fore she broke up there was no ex-
cessive pressure on the cells.
Testimony that number gas cell
was in perfect condition." up to the
time Of the breaking up of the ship
was given by Frank Masters, avia-
ton pilot. He said that when the
tail section was falling, he rested
his feet against the bag while cling
ing to a girder and that 1t was func-
tioning. He added hat when the ship
struck there was still gas in the cell.
Supplementary testimony as to
what if any contribution to the
Shenandoah disaster was made by
the failure of two Of her five engines
was given during the day. An opinion
that the failures of the engines were
minor in character and did not con-
stitute contributing cause to the
disaster was given by S. S. Hallibur-
ton, chief machinist's mate and as
sistant chief engineer of the ship.
Several conflicting stories as to the
exact order of the breaking up of the
Shenandoah were given.
Some witnesses gave the opinion
that the control car was first to go;
others that engines numbers four and
five forward of amidships were first,
and others that the ship broke in two
first.
All were agreed that she was Ia
boring badly in the converging cross
currents which whirled her around at
rapid rate.
Chief Bigger Louis A. Alley said he
saw engine cars numbers four and
five actually break away from the
ship in the air and swing by support
wires before crashing to earth. This
was before the control car fell. He
was certain that the control car
broke away and the hull began to go
to pieces at about the same time he
declared that he actually saw the
frame of the ship break at the keel
forward Of amidships.

HARRINGTON
Besides being one Of the biggest

Besides being one Of the biggest In
history, the fair of the Franklin
County Agricultural Society, which
closed yesterday after a remarkably
large attendance, was remarkabl for
the lack Of disorder, drunkenness, or
accidents, there being very little evil
dence of the former common evils,
and not an accident of any kind re-
ported. The receipts of the fair have
not been completely figured up yet,
nor have the expenses, there being so
many departments that it takes con-
siderable time to get complete
statement, but it is known that there
will be large balance on the right
side of the ledger when everything is
in, and plans for important improve
ments are already beginning to take
form.
Michael Walsh of West Harrington
was arrested Tuesday on search
and seizure charge, and a charge of
illegally manufacturing intoxicating
liquor as well, and at later hearing
in the Municipal Court he was order
ed to give bonds in the sum Of $500
on each charge, for his appearance
before the grand jury in February,
probable cause being found; he was
able to secure the necessary bail and
was released. In the same session OF
the court Frank Stanley Gleva, who
gave his residence as New Haven
Conn. was found guilty of vagrancy
and sent to Jail for 80 days.
