CONTEST IS SPECTACULAR ONE.
CHICAGO. 111., July G,—All long dis
tance aerial speed records were broken
and possibly anew world’s long distance
flight mark for balloons was set when the
F'ieMing-San Antonio, owned by Dr.
Frederick J. Fielding of San Antonio,
Tex., and piloted by Capt. 11. E. Honey- j
well, descended to the earth yesterday |
at 1 p. in. at West Shefford, Quebec.
All of the nine balloons in the great I
international race which started in Chi
cago descended safely, but many thrilling
escapes were reported. The Ville de i
Dieppe dragged its car into Lake Michi
gan. Che Illinois alighted in Lake On
tario. The crew of the Columbia was ;
cut and bruised in descending in Can
ada.
Following was the finish of the aerial
crafts and the estimated distance cov

Record Voyage of San Antonio.
The Fielding-San Antonio left its
moorings Saturday at 5:41 p. in., at
Aero park, Sixty-seventh street and
South Park avenue, and in a few min
utes less than twenty-four hours sailed
what is estimate! roughly to be about
SOU miles. It is possible the record of
the Poinmern, when the corrected fig
ures are obtained, was broken.
This trip of the Fieldmg-San Antonio
was the first the balloon *.ad ever made.
The log muslin, lemon-colored bag never
had been inflated to its fullest capacity
before. It also was Dr. Fielding’s first
ride in the air. The owner weighs 210
pounds, which is 100 rounds extra
weight, aeronautically.
Second place in the aerial flight was
taken by the Illinois, a Chicago balloon,
piloted by .1. L. Case and C. 11. Perrigo
of Chicago. It traveled about 550 miles
and descended in the bay of Quinte, near
Glen island, which is near Prince Ed
ward island. Lake Ontario.
Aeronauts in Narrow Escape.
Most thrilling adventures were oxperi
eneed by the aeronauts. One balloon
dragged its two pilots through barb wire
fences, against tree trunks, and across
a swamp. One of its guidons, C. H.
Leichlifer of Chicago, was severely lacer
ated. ‘The other, Capt. Martin Peter
son, has a broken rib.
But more eventful were the experiences
of Capt. A. R. Mueller of the French
balloon, Ville de Dieppe, and his 17-
year-ohl comrade. George Schoenech, a
Chicago boy. Only quick work saved
them from the waters of Lake Michigan,
and shot Mu m skyward to an altitude of
7000 feet within seven minutes
Dips Into Water.
Hardly was the Ville de Dieppe out of]
sight from its starting place than it shot
downward in a gull-like swoop into the
lake at a point about three miles out
fa u the mouth of the Chicago river.
Ti e Luge bag bounced upon the waves
like an t aorinous rubber ball, while the
two occupants climbed into the network
ami fastened life preservers about their
bodies.
Capt. Mueller quickly analyzed the con
dition of his balloon as the result of too
much ballast. He cast the eight bags of
sand overboard, then the dragging an
chor. then the numerous aeronautical
paraphernalia, and finally the food and
water, leaving only the wicker basket
and its occupants.
The basket was submerged to the
shoulders of the Frenchman, who is G feet
2 inches tali, and it was with difficulty
that he was able to get back above the
“ring” of the balloon and into the net
ting. Ileihen clasped the life preserver
about him and tied it to the netting far
above the basket.
Ready to Swim for Life.
The boy in the meantime had removed
Ids coal and shoes and was prepared to
jump into tho water, believing that his
only chance of life rested in his ability
to swim three miles to shore. Capt.
Mueller beckoned to him to retain his
place, and it was with difficulty that
Schoenech was induced to stay above in
the netting.
Then the boy and himself were tied to
the tipper cords of the bag Capt. Muel
ler was prepared to cut the wicker bas
ket loose and sail upward, taking his
chances with fate in reaching the shore
cf Michigan.
One side of the basket was dipping
more heavily in the water than the other.
With his knife he severed the cords
which connected the other side of the
car with the bag and tied the loose ends
to the opposite side of the basket. The
idea came from long aerial experience.
It worked like a charm.
Shoots Toward Sky.
Almost in a twinkling tho basket
turned half over and emptied itself of
water, which removed the weight from
the gas bag and allowed it to ascend.
Like a rocket it shot upward. Inside of
seven minutes it had ascended to au alti
tude of 7000 feet.
But this was not the last of the aero
nauts' perilous adventures. They had
been in the water forty-five minutes.
Then they climbed to a stratum of at
mosphere. which the two declared was
colder than the coldest ice water they
ever drank. One side of the basket was
hanging down with its ropes cut.
Both aeronauts were forced to lean
far back over the opposite railing of the

Courtship of Mine. Gould and Prince

during office hours, and demand that
they be married immediately.
If marred in any but the Anglican

sign the registry. Mine. Gould and
Prince de Sagan arc extremely reticent
tegardiug their plans. Their friends,
I owever, say that the wedding will be
lery simple and a registry office one.
Postal Clerks Appointed.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. July 6.—Addi
fonal clerks allowed at first and second
Lass postoffices to take effect July 1,
basket to keep from tumbling out into
the lake. The boy, who had tossed away
his coat to plunge into the lake, now
began to feel the frigid breezes. There
was nothing left m the basket to shelter
him.
Capt. Mueller then drew his own coat
about over the chest of the boy, who
had grown with fear as white as marble.
“Believe in God, my boy.” said the
man. “I believe in him. Don't fear.”
“I’ll believe in you,” replied the boy.
Far in the southwest they could see
streaks of zigzag lightning illuminating
the sky, and the thoughts of an encoun
ter witli a storm at this height flashed
across their minds. Their hope was to
reach the Michigan shores.
Then they ascend'd even higher, rising
to an upper stratum of aid, which was
moving at a rate of more than sixty
miles an hour, according to Cant. Muel
ler. In loss than two hours they sighted
ir the distance the lights of two cities
close to each other. They thought they
were somewhere in Indiana.
Alight Near Benton Harbor.
When it seemed safe to descend, after
they had gone a mile inland, Capt. Muel
ler pulled the cord attached to the valve
of the balloon and they dropped gradual
ly to within .100 feet of the earth. Then
they hovered around, looking below for
a favorable place to land.
Capt. Mueller wished to avoid trees,
swamps and streets and yet to get as
near as possible to a railroad or street
car line. The wind hail died down and
the use of the anchor in making a land
ing was unnecessary. They tinally set
tled in a field 10 feet from a street car
line and three miles from Benton Har
bor. Mich,
It was 1) o’clock when they reached
the ground, and it required three hours
for them to pack up the balloon and the
basket. Then they took a street car for
Benton Harbor. They returned to Chi
cago on an early morning train.
TRFT HUS HARD '
TASK AHEAD NOW
FINDS BEING A PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE IS NO EASY
MATTER.
IS AT HOME IN MOUNTAINS.
Mass of Correspondence Demands Atten
tion apd the Dictation of Many
Replies.
HE HAS SIGNED 1500 LETTERS.
HOT SPRINGS, Va„ July G.—When
William H. Taft arose today he more
than ever realized what a difficult task
it is to be a candidate for the presi
dency and to attempt to secure rest even
amid the isolation of the mountains of
Virginia. Early this morning a dozen
big boxes of records were delivered to
his office and his secretary superintended
the work of arranging the contents in
the file room where they will be accessi
ble during the next two months. A mass
of correspondence is coming to him, ne
cessitating his personal attention and
the dictation of many letters. But in
sisting upon dividing his time between
work and recreation, he accepted a chal
lenge of Frank B. Kellogg for another
game of golf on the mountain links.
Will Ride His Horse.
Mr. Taft's horses have arrived and
hereafter he will alternate golf with
riding over the mountain paths. He is a
sufficient friend of his big horse to ride
only every other day, believing that
to use the animal more frequently would
be absolute cruelty.
Mr. Taft feels that he is a subject for
congratulation because he has signed
all of his acknowledgments to letters of
congratulation received after his nomi
nation. He brought over 1500 of them
from Washington.
Meets Senator Crane.
This afternoon he had another confer
ence with Senator Crane who expects
to leave here tonight, accompanied by
Representative Lawrence of Massa
chusetts, who came with him. Mr.
Crane’s visit has sot at rest suggestions
that he will be enlisted in the active
work of the campaign in any important
way.
Talk Indiana Trouble.
Senator Beveridge of Indiana, and Rep
resentative McKinley of Illinois, had an
interesting discussion today with Mr.
Taft. Senator Beveridge’s talk con
cerned the difficulties stirred up in his
state by the action of the convention as
to the Fairbanks delegates, and McKin
ley concerning the treasurership of the
national committee. The coining of Sena
tor Beveridge a day ahead of Senator
Hemenway and Representative Watson,
permitted Mr. Taft to get information on
tiie Indiana situation becoming of the
men who directly represent the Fair
banks faction. The state is regarded as
of such importance that Mr. Taft con
siders it highly important that there
should lie assurances of harmony there
over the chairmanship, who ever may till
that position.

DIVER NEAR DEATH
WHEN TUBE IS CUT
HENRY GREEN DRAGGED FROM
DEPTHS OF LAKE ALMOST
LIFELESS.
WAS SEEKING MAN’S BODY.
Search for John Bechtel Near Govern
ment Breakwater Nearly Results
in Further Tragedy.
VICTIM REMOVED TO WAUKEGAN.
m
MILWAUKEE, Wis., July G, 1908.
To be cut off from all air supply while
working many feet under water, with
only a thin life Hue connecting him with
his assistants above, was the experience
which nearly cost the life of Henry
Green, diver, while working off the gov
ernment pier in the harbor for the re
covers of the body of a drowned man.
The parents of John Bechtel, who lost
his life while rowing in the harbor a
week ago Sunday, secured the services
of Green, who was employed in govern
ment work at Waukegan, to find the
body ol their son.
Dragged from Water.
Green started work at the spot near
which Bechtel lost his life, attended by
tiie fishing steamer Mascot. He had
descended to quite a depth when the
men working at the pumps noticed that
the resistance to their pumping had les
sened and the pump worked unusually
easy. Bubbles of air rising to the sur
face also indicated that there was some
thing wrong, and then a pull at the life
line was felt, and the emergeimy signal
tor help was given by the diver. Drop
ping the pumps, his assistants hurriedly
summoned all their help and the diver
was rapidly drawn to the surface. The
helmet was unbuckled as quickly as the
nervous fingers of the assistants per
mitted, and the limp form was dragged
to the boat. It was seen that Green was
unconscious and lie appeared to be life
less. His face was swollen and distort
ed because of his suffering tor the tew
minutes under water without air.
After hurried work, massaging the
man’s limbs to renew circulation, and
quick work to restore his breathing, he
finally recovered slightly and iu the
course of half au hour mure was able to
sit up.
Tube Cut with Tin.
An investigation showed that the rub
ber tube supplying the air to the diver,
had been cut as if done with a knife.
Heaps of tiu and iron work along the
pier left from the old pier body, are be
lieved to be responsible for the accident
and it is believed that the tube fioated
close to a piece of sharp tin which cut
through is, thus imperiling the life of
Green.
A brother-in-law of Bechtel was pres
ent at the accident and seeing how close
ly the grim reaper came to claiming an
other death, lie announced his intention
of giving up the search for the body of
his relative. Green was taken home,
and is said to have entirely recovered
from his exciting experience under the
waters of Lake Michigan.
