BALUWINVAtRSHIP.
Ohio Man Made Sncce?sful Flight
in it at Lor Angeles, Cal.
The Craft Was Turned in All Direc
tions, Describing Complete Circles
Within 8mall Radius, and Re
crossing Certain Points.
I.os Angeles, Cal., Jan. 30.—Roy
Knabenshue, of Toledo, O., the aero
naut, made a successful flight in Capt.
Baldwin's airship “The California Ar
row,” at Chutes park. Knabenshue
was in flight about 45 minutes, during
which time he circled within a radius
of about one mile of .the park, execut
ing all sorts of maneuvers with the
big aerial craft, returning finally and
landing within the enclosure of the
baseball grounds, from which he had
started. The weather was perfect for
the experiment, with just the faintest
suspicion of a southwest bree/.e blow
ing. Immense throngs gathered at
the ball park, the chutes and the
streets for blocks distant to watch the
flight. At 3:25 the airship rose grace
fully from its anchorage at the ball
park and soared away to the north
east for half a mile, gradually rising
as it gathered speed.
When about 700 feet high Knnben
shue began his maneuvers, turning the
craft in every direction, describing
complete circles witnin a small radius,
crossing and recrosslng the park
above the heads of the thousands of
spectators.
Tnpt. Baldwin had fitted the “Ar
row” with a new and more powerful
motor and this important work of the
mechanism worked to perfection. The
new motor gave great impetus to the
propeller, and this, apparently, made
the big irregular shaped balloon much
easier to handle. It responded readily
to every turn of the steering gear and
was driven in every direction at sharp
angles as the aeronaut desired.
At no time did the ship rise to a
height of more than 1.500 feet and the
manipulation of the mechanism of the
airship by the operator was plainly
visible to the spectators below.
A MORMON’S PREDICTION.
He Says Congress Can Not Stop tho

Salt l.ake City, Jan. 30.—J. Golden

stake conference at Logan, is reported
to have strongly defended polygamy
and predicted that congress would he
unable to stop the practice. In a spe
cial dispatch to the Tribune from Ia>
gun. Kimball is quoted as saying:
“These good women in the east
want congress to stop this thing po
lygamy. I would like to see congress
try it. They will have something on
their hands if they do. They want to
put this down and legalize race sui
cide. They can't do it. The more
they fry it, the more It will grow. We
do not believe in race suicide. When
we are persecuted we will live it the
more. Congress and the country
knows ail we have done and can not
find out ^anything more.”

point in the center of their sides. sr»
that when the animal moves the edges
