of the United States into the

RACE BALLOONS

CLEVELAND, Sept. 2 U.NSo.
The ultimate destination of the

dicted today as race officials
checked the progress of the con-

A possibility also exists that
some of the bags may be swept
dangerously close to the Atlantic
Ocean, forcing the pilots to be on
the alert to land before they are
carried out to sea. it was said.
Showers prevailed throughout
the East and Northeast, the terri
tory over which most of the
balloonists are now riding, c. G..
Andrus, chief of the Cleveland

today.
The wind velocity over this ter
ritory, Andrus said, is approxi-

height of 1000 feet. Above that
there Is a westerly wind blowing
at about 35 miles an hour.
One of the six. balloons in the
race was sighted at 7 a. m. to-

The minimum charge will be
the sum of the fixed charge and

STAR COP FACES
DEMOT|ON

The arrest king" of the Traf-
eic Bureau. K. P. Greenlow, faces
demotion following charges that
he attended a party In Takoma
when he should have been on
duty. G. M. Patton, also Of the
Traffic Bureau, faces a similar
penalty.
Greenlow has made more ar
rests during the last six months
than any other traffic officer.
He used to be the running mate
of Raymond Sinclair, who, until
he was seriously injured in an
accident last winter, held the
lead.
Major Pratt has recommended
to the board of District Com
missioners that "sparky," as
Greenlow is widely known, be
transferred to foot duty in the
Third precinct. He asked that
Patton be shifted to a beat in
the Fourteenth precinct.
These transfers would mean
reductions of $120 a year in pay
for each.
