THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER, 2, 1906. 3 AMERICAN S L lil BALLOON RAGE Lahm Sails From Paris Far thest North Over England. BRITAIN STILL UP IN AIR Bolls May Have Beaten or May Be at Bottom of Sea Italian Balloon Comes to Grief in England. PARIS. Oct. 1 The Aero Club semi officially announced tonight that Lieu tenant Frank P. Lahm of the Sixth United States Cavalry, one of the Ameri can contestants, was the victor in the first competition for the James Gordon Bennett cup for international aeronauts. The race was started yesterday afternoon, when 15 balloons representing seven coun tries, sailed away from the Tuilerle gardens. Paris. Lieutenant La.hm's apparent victory may be changed when Honorable C. S. Rolls, one of the English contestants, is heard from. Polls' landing has not yet been recorded, and there Is jorae doubt regarding his relative position. Consider able anxiety is felt for his safety, al though his experience and caution are re garded as certain to bring him safely to the ground. Lahm Holds Lead So Far. Up to the present time, however, the performance of Lahm and Hersey in the balloon United States in reaching 15 miles north of Scarborough. England, is the best record attained by any one of the 15 starters The members of the Aero Club are inclined to Relieve that the United States was only prevented from going farther hecause a current of air again threatened to carry her over the North Sea. with no apparent prospect, unless the direction of the wind changed, of finding land before making the coast of Norway. Crowds of prominent aeronauts were at the clubhouse all day awaiting tele grams reporting arrivals. The first re ports recorded the landing of five balloons in Normandy. It was then considered certain that the remainder would cross the channel and a few hours later came dispatches telling of the landing of the Spanish and one French balloon on the south coast of England and the report that four others, including the United States, had passed over Hastings, going due north. Accident to Santos Dumont. In the meantime the news of an acci dent to Santos Dumont aroused general sympathy, the Brazilian being very pop ular here. But his subsequent arrival at the Aero Club with one arm bandaged relieved the tension regarding the serious ness of his mishap. His arm caught in the mechanism of his motor, and the flesh was torn and the arm became numb. Santos Dumont reached Paris at t o'clock this evening and received a great ovation at the Aero Club. France's Chances Vanish. The Frenchmen were then aroused to cheerfulness at the report that Count de la Vaulx in the Walhalla had arrived at Norfolk. Later, however, when the landing at Hull of the Italian contestant, Signor von Viller. in the Elfe, it was announced it was seen that France's chances of winning had gone. Then the report of Lieutenant Lahm showed that he had reached further north than any other starter, and it was generally thought that he would win. Rolls, how ever, is still to be reckoned with, and a definite announcement of the result cannot yet be made. The absence of the Britannia, Rolls' balloon, from the list of landinES causes increasing disquiet as the hours go by, some thinking that a current of air must have carried him out to sea. while others believe that he had landed somewhere In England and has not yet been able to get to a telegraph wire. The Britan nia was last seen near Hastings, England. LAHM GOES FARTHEST NORTH Touches I;and Near Whitby Within Mile of Xorth Sea. LONDON. Oct. 1. Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm. Sixth Cavalry, U. S. A., the Amer ican competitor in the balloon race, de scended in the balloon United States seven miles south of Whitby (about 50 miles north of Hull) at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. He left at once for Paris. Lahm descended about one mile inland, at Desmene farm. Flyingdale. He said he had been carried by way of Caen across the Channel to Chichester. Finding that he was being carried toward the open sea, he decided to alight. Owing to the dry ness of the moors his anchor at first would not hold and the balloon passed dangerously near some farm buildings. Lieutenant Lahm's balloon was in the air for 13 hours. Professor Huntington, one of the Eng lish contestants, in the Zephyr, landed at Slttingbourne. Kent. He had a trying or deal, in crossing the channel, which took him eight hours. Otherwise his voyage was uneventful. The Zephyr could not have gone a quarter of a mile without being carried out to sea. The Walhalla. with Count de la Vaulx descended at l:So o'clock this afternoon at Walsingham, Norfolk. In an interview the Count said he had a splendid voy age, although the wind had been unfavor able. He estimated he had traveled 350 miles. His greatest altitude was 7500 feet. The count started at once to return to Paris. . With the exception of C. S. Rolls in the Britannia, all the balloons which left Paris yesterday are now accounted for. The Britannia has not been heard from since she was reported at Cranbrook. The Chautiureaux. carrying Jacques Ealsax. one of the French contestants, has come down at Singleton, in Sussex. ITALIAN BALLOON" WRECKED Torn to Pieces on Roof of Cottage "Near Hull. LONDON, Oct. 1. Between 6 and 10 o'clock this morning six of the IS bal loons engaged in the contest for the James Gorden Bennett cup, which started from Paris yesterday, arrived on this side of the channel and con tinued in an easterly direction. The first arrival was Count de la Vaulx" balloon Walhalla. Later in the day several other bal-. loons-were sighted at various points in the southern counties of England. Captain Kindlan's Montanes descended at Chichester. Hon. O. S- Roll's Britan nia passed over Cranbrook, Kent, this afternoon so high that it could be scarcely identified. The Italian balloon Elfe, Signor Vonwiller, descended at New Holland, near Hull, this afternoon. The Elfe made a rather perilous descent. Her i anchor did not catch and the balloon began to drift dangerously, doing much damage to property. The aero nauts narrowly escaped being thrown out. The balloon- finally collapsed across the roof of a cottage, the car dangling against the sides of the house. The occupants had to be assisted to the ground. They said they mistook the Humber for the sea, and therefore decided to land. The Elfe in 19 hours made practi cally the same voyage as Count de la Vaulx in 1903, when he landed at Hull, covering 570 kilometers in 17 hours.

(Special.) Unable to stop his large, high-speed automobile as he was turning a corner this afternoon. Joseph M. Phillips ran the machine into a north-bound street car, killing his five-year-old daughter. Norma, and seriously injuring his brotherin-law, Thomas Clews, living with him on Fairfax avenue. So great was the force of the collision that the heavy automobile was demolished, and the street-car so badly damaged that it was put entirely out of commission. Babe Taken From Mother's Arms. SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 1. (Special.) Constable Sam Klein broke down a door to a room at Seventh and Blan chard streets early this morning and forcibly took a soven-weeks-old babe from its mother's arms to produce the child in the Superior Court on a writ of habeas corpus. The child had been legally adopted by Mrs. Daugh erty, the wife of a wealthy White Horse, Alaska, miner. Its mother was not married at the time of the child's birth, but she claims she has since married the father, Charles Dilly, and wants to keep possession of the child. Dilly and the child's mother kid naped the child from Mrs. Daugherty and brought it to Seattle. Mrs. Daugherty followed the babe to Seat tle' and began a legal battle in the Superior Court here to regain its custody. Bishop O'Dea as Mediator. SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 1. (Special.) William Cochrane, ex-Sheriff of King County and a wealthy pioneer of the White River Valley, who shot and wounded Thomas Sharkey, another county pioneer last July, today pleaded guilty to assault and battery and was fined $1000. A personal suit brought by Sharkey was settled out of court. Bishop Edward J. O'Dea. Catholic Bishop of this diocese, interceded with the County Attorney and prevented a trial on the original charge of as sault with intent to commit murder. There is a wide-spread feud among settlers at O'Brien, where the shooting occurred, and both Bishop O'Dea and the peace officers feared that if tlie case was forced to trial the bitter ness that already endangers the com munity would break out again and re sult in further bloodshed. SHERIDAN ON BEACH Almost Sinks When Hauled Off Rocks of Oahu. MAY BECOME TOTAL LOSS Starts for Honolulu in Tow, but Is Driven Ashore at Pearl Harbor Liest She Founder Plight Seems Hopeless. HONOLULU. Oct. 1. After being hauled off the reef at Barbers Point and starting for this port in tow of the transport Buford and the tug Manning, the trans port Sheridan was again beached today at Pearl Harbor to prevent her sinking. She is in worse condition than before she was hauled off the rocks. The Sheridan lies close to the western entrance of Pearl Harbor. She was being towed to Honolulu, but after floating had a heavy list. nen she had proceeded about ten miles from Barbers Point, half the distance to this port, her lines at tached to the Buford and the tug Manning were suddenly cast on. Her bow was pointed toward the shore and she was beached In a position which is difficult to reach. The Buford, Manning and other tugs are standing by to render all the as sistance possible. It is believed that a big hole was torn in the hull of the Sheridan when she was coming off the reef and it is predicted that she will be a total loss. Efforts to refloat the transport will be commenced after midnight. The tugs Iroquois and Manning and the steamers Buford, Iwalani and Malancton are all at the 6cene. Reports received here state that the Sheridan was almost capsized -when beached. The prospects for saving her are reported to be good. The Nighau tonight brought back a force of stevedores, who refused to re main longer aboard the beached steamer. HEARST NOT FOR MURPHY REPUDIATES MAX WHO HELPED HIM TO VICTOR'S".

First Showing of the New : The Biedermaier Embroidery is the latest, and will undoubt edly prove the most popular of the new needlework effects. This embroidery is not entirely new, it being a slight modifica tion of a style that met with great favor in Germany about 100 years ago. The Biedermaier Patterns are stamped on soft, creamy linen. Silk floss is used for working. The attractiveness of the various designs is in their extreme simplicity. They are formed of garlands and baskets of flowers in various bright col ors, fashioned into wreaths and festoons. These flowers are in single tone effects, there being no shading, therefore, calling for only the most simple kinds of stitching. We are showing stamped patterns for this Biedermaier Em broidery in Pillows, Lunchcloths, Scarfs, Pincushions and Work bags. Prices are as follows : Pillow Tops and Backs, stamped 7o Lunchcloths, 30x30 inches, stamped Sj1.25 Scarfs, 10x54 inches, stamped $1.25 Pincushion Tops, stamped for Biedermaier Embroidery 89 Fancy Work Bags, stamped .
