1907 [[June]] 14 62 Journal Atlanta GA 122 28 apr 1907 AERONAUT CARRIED DISTANCE OF 67 MILES Balloon Comes Down After Hour and Fifty-Five Minutes Into Herd of Cattle. (By Associated Press.) ST. Louis, MO, April 27. - Aeronaut Allen R. Hawley, of New York city, made an escension here this afternoon in the balloon Orient and was carried 67 miles before coming to earth, seven miles east of Carrollton, Ill., after being up for one hour and fifty-five minutes. The balloon came down in the midst of a herd of cattle on the farm of Robert Hardcastle. Just before the basket touched the ground, it missed a barbed wire fence, barely clearing it, and sank down upon the cattle, stampeding the herd. A team being being worked in a field adjoining, took fright and ran away. Farmers hurried to the spot and assisted the aeronaut to pack up the deflated balloon, which was later hauled to Carrollton, where Hawley will spend the night. This was Hawley's seventh ascension. He expects to make another Tuesday night and two more later in the east, as he is required to have made ten ascensions to qualify to act as pilot of the St. Louis entry in the international tournament here in October. Mr. Hawley, accompanied by J. T. McCoy and Leo Stevens, of New York, and Captain Chandler, United States signal corps, arrived last night. It was the intention of the aeronaut, McCoy and Captain Chandler to ascend this evening in the big balloon America for a trip to Washington, but it was postponed owing to unfavorable air currents.

Representative Luce, Robert reat Paine, 2d, and Henry Sterling ave been the chief advocates of the easure, while Charles R. Saunders nd Atty. Arthur D. Hill have argued opposition The general Contention in behalf the measure has been that under esent methods the will of the peo- e was not sufficiently manifested. at secret influences operated to ntrovert the public will, and that the ultimately authority rested in people they should be given this of public expression on ques- of state policy. n the other hand, it has been con- ded that the constitutional provision ng the people the right to instruct representatives was based on the n meeting, where the people met nly to discuss matters of policy, and mere making of a ballot without cussion and deliberation; that the posed plan would result in expres- ns of opinion hastily formed and ill- sidered; that the representatives are w chosen by the people to study ques- ns and to act only after discussion deliberation, and that the will of people now ultimately prevails. Great Senate Fight. Senator Linehan will probably have e chance this week to prove the effec- eness of Rule 10, which prohibits any ember of the Legislature from voting any measure which directly or in- rectly concerns his private interests. During the discussion of the bill to ovide for the joint use of street rall- y tracks by different companies, he allenged the right of Senators Shaw d Cox to vote on the measure, saying at the former was president of the oston & Woster Street Railway Com- ny and the latter an attorney for the mpany. This Mr. Cox stoutly denied, hile Senator Shaw remained silent. Senator Linehan declared that if these vo senators should again vote on the easure he would call on the Presi- ent to enforce rule 102. College Taxation Contest. There will be even a warmer fight ver the college taxation bill in the ouse on Tuesday, it is predicted, than ere was in the Senate last week. The sertion was made during the week at if the bill passed the House it and very little chance of being signed the Governor Senator Feiker believes that the ouse will see the justice of his ap- eal. He has fought for the legisla- on two years, and thinks the atti- ude of the Senate is a good indication hat the measure has a fine chance of assage. Though Senator Feiker thinks the lesley College amendment will have actically no effect on the amendment, hore amendments of a similar kind, it s believed, would destroy the effective- ess of the bill. mportant Railway Issue. No opposition developed in the Senate Thursday to Senator Jenney's amendment to the bill relative to the recovery of damages on locations of electric railways, which gives the abutters the right to recover damages. The street railway men are expected to put up a hard fight when the bill comes up for third reading, on the contention that it subjects interurban lines to regulations wh [cut off] act against further Leo Sports Paris 26 April -1907 Le plus grand Ballon de France Un match dans la nuit.-"L'Aigle" et son sa ellite.-Le C a cuf ally shape from Useful Genuin Bag velo new pack be se ed, w for o Silver quadi popu; finish shade and duced comp Silver Cream pie nish- bead feet, I per e plete N E W Hand berry one six sugar and beaut the ratio shade sistin reduc $3.75 Lot Mr an plicant CE particu Clark not th give th tion to ica, per ce Mr. di terday bers of the bil before "The Newto wanted the House tion bill pa n the ope- It is l. the wa ticular portan ON ut th week.
