INVENTOR, BUILDER
 IF HOMEMADE BL|MP
 HAS 0NE WILD RIDE
THOUSANDS OF NEW WORKERS FURNISHED WITH A THRILL DUE TO MiSHAP

NEW YORK, Aug 10.(P)-The wild ride of lone pilot in a homemade blimp. 5000 feet above the ground, furnished thousands of New Workers, last evening, with a thrill. The ship was constructed by Norris F. Samza at his home in Union City, New Jer- sey and represents ten years of ex- perimental work. 1t took three years of actual construction work. After cruising over the city, the pilot was forced to shut down the motor ow- ing to a tear in the gas bag. He then strapped a parachute on him. self and threw out 1500 foot rope as the blimp began to descend, hop ing that someone would catch it. The ship was still drifting too fast and a little too high, but thousands were following on the ground, eagerly a. waiting for the end of the rope. Fi- nally it descended rapidly and the rope was fastened securely to the ground and the blimp came to rest on the ground in a heap. The pilot escaped, but was injured.

RUTHERFORD PLAN
Lessening Restrictions on New
Fireproof Roofing Adopted

Building Inspector A. N. Ruther.
ford's proposal to lessen the city's
restrictions against non-freproof
roofing was approved by the ordi.
nance committee last night In the
face of criticism by the National
Board OF Fire Underwriters that the
present ordinance is not sufficiently
strong.
In its survey OF the city, the I'M
derwriters' board criticized the
building departments code because
fireproof shingles are not required
throughout the city. Inspector Ruth
erford leaned to the view that gar.
ages outside the fire limits should
be allowed to carry wood shingles
since dwellings do and his amend

A recommendation to restrict
parking from the west side Of West
Main street between Main street and
the Capitol theater was laid over to
a future meeting as no one appeared
in opposition. A pure-food ordi.
nance requiring handlers Of edibles
to submit to physical examination
was not acted upon as Health Super

to attend the meeting.
Alderman D. L. Nair's ordinance
to restrict the sale of fireworks vas

Portuguese Plot

London, Aug. 10 CF-An abortive
attempt to carry out a coupe d'etat
against the Portuguese government
was made yesterday, but was quash-
ed by prompt government action,
says a Reuters dispatch from Lis
bon. The government was describ-
ed last night as being master of the
situation.
The dispatch says that it was
claimed yesterday that an over
whelming part of the army was sup
porting the government, which was
confident that it would be able to
take measures for the public safety.
All the ministers and commanders Of
all military garrisons were declared
to be united in defence Of the exist
ing regime.
Portugal has been the center of
many revolutionary movements in
recent years. The most important
revolt against the government of the
present chief executive, General
Carmona, occurred last FEBRUARY.
when there was considerable fighting
in Lisbon and Oporto, the revolt be-
ing crushed.
Since then there have been reports
of minor movements and plots, all
of which have been unsuccessful. A
revolutionary movement in north
ern Portugal was reported quelled
early in June, but the Portuguese
government two days later declared
that the reports of disturbances were
unfounded, On July 6, IS Portu-

Diagnose Disease
From Drop OF Blood

1t is said to be possible TO dag
nose certain diseases by examining
drop of blood serum from the pa
tent
Such Is the contention of Doctors
pouris and Mondain. as set forth in
a paper which Professor d'Arscnval
read to the French Academy of Sci
.nces.
A drop Of serum from which the
red corpuscles have been removed
by centrifugal action is placed upon
glass and evaporated by uniform
application of a heat Of 40 degrees
Centigrade. This causes different
patterns to appear, according to
the nature of the serum.
1t is from these patterns that
Drs. Douris and Mondain believe
that they can tell the nature Of the
disease from which the patient is
suffering. A normal serum gives an
image recalling the section of
lemon. In the case Of cancerous
subject the pattern is irregular,
leading the discoveries to draw
parallel with the cellular anarchy
which characterizes cancer, and
permitting. they believe, the dag
rosis Of a cancerous state before
the growth has developed.

Buckingham Palace
Gardens Closed

Buckingham Palace gardens are
almost unknown to the general
public. This is because Of the diff
Guilty OF getting permits to view the
famous shrubbery.
In Queen Victoria's time It was
comparatively easy to gain access to
the grounds surrounding the palace.
But King Edward took the view
that the palace was his town
house" and therefore a place of
personal privacy. Windsor Castle,
on the other hand, is considered to
be state apartments and Is more or
less open to the public. King
George has made the privacy rule
at Buckingham Palace even mere
strict.

flict. They are too willing to believe
and fall into the traps prepared by
mediums for the credulous. The
spiritualists have a Blue Book"
Mr.. Dunworth says, containing the
names of all those addicted to the
cult. By this means a medium arriv-
ing in town can send out circular
letters to all the spiritualists In the
place and be sure of an immediate
response and tidy profit.
AS a typical example of the things
revealed" by mediums, Mr.. Dun
worth spoke from his own expert
ence. He attended seance in
Brooklyn, and the medium singled
him out Immediately, telling him
that he had two controls, a Hindu
and Mexican, who were trying to
place the letter y" on his back The
y" was supposed to be the initial of
some dear one who had departed.
but Mr.. DunWorth has never been
been. He was then told he would
receive good news from Jersey,
would make a trip to Europe, would
have business below saith street, and
was standing on the third rung Of
the ladder. His Office being on 42nd
street, he quite naturally has had
business below saith street, but the
other predictions have not come
true, and eff the dead could talk to
us" he says, they certainly would
tell us something more valuable
than that We were standing on
rung of a ladder"
Some states have taken action
against fortune telling" but
spiritualism is only an aggravated
form of this and goes on unchecked,
he says. Throughout New York
state the cult is particularly strong,
and there are many groups with
names such as the Lotus Blossom"
and others which, according to Mr..
Dunworth, actually reveal much of
the character Of the societies. The
main difference between mediums
and the banned fortune tellers, he
claims is that the mediums charge
vastly more for the same thing.
Slate Writing
Regarding slate writing. A major
feature of spiritualism, Mr.. Dun
worth has much to say and show.
The writing can easily be prepared
while the subject is waiting in the
entry room and placed on slate
which is substituted for a blank one
previously examined by the credu-
lous one. Another method is the use
of black cards which cover the
writing and look like the surface of
the slate, then are dropped and re-
veal the supernatural writing.
Even those who seek to avoid de-
ceit and bring their own states are
tricked, temporary substitution be-
ing made shortly after a question is
asked, plausible answer written by
an assistant, and the original then
slipped back without the knowledge
seeker realizing that ii has been
gone, It is all fakery according to
the New York man
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has taken
up spiritualism largely from
pecuniary motives. Mr.. Dunworth
believes. On the other hand. he con-
siders that Sir Oliver Lodge is sin
cere in his belief but thinks that he
has been duped.

IRVINE, dramatist as we'll as

makes such a statement. IRVINE
says Drinkwater has criticized con-
temporary poets, in spite Of his
pronouncement. Poets, in the opin-
ion of IRVINE. are better qualified
to criticize poetry than non-poets
are, just as dramatists are better
qualified to criticize plays intelli-
gently. IRVINE says most of the
criticism of novels is done by nov
