The balloonists were rescued early this morning by Cherokee In dian hunters and sent to a hospital at Powassan, on the Grand Trunk Rail road. 20 miles from where they landed.

The balloon traveled rapidly over Lake Huron and Georgian Bay Tuesday at a great height, tossed by the winds. The men were In the air more than 28 hours and frequently they traveled at. the rate or a mile a minute. Their average rate from St. Louis to Lake Nipissing was 30 miles, an hour.

ROOSEVELT KILLS NEWYORK'CHANCE SPOKANE MAN FRSEH FROM EAST SEES HIM WANE. Attorney Jay P. Graves Predicts Re publican Downfall If Colonel Is. Not Eliminated. SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 19. (Special.) That the next House will be over whelmingly Democratic, that the Re publicans will probably lose New York, that Roosevelt Is proving a decidedly losing card in the New York campaign, and that the Insurgent wing of the Republican party is on the wane are Eastern and Middle Western sentiments everywhere expressed by Jay P. Graves, president of the Spokane & Inland, who returned from New York Sunday after an extended visit. "I am a Republican and a Roosevelt man. Before I left Spokane nobody could have made me believe that the Republican party would lose because of Roosevelt. It has been proved to me that Roosevelt In New York Is a losing card, and that the quicker he is eliminated from the campaign the big ger will be the chance of the Republi can party of capturing? the state. "The Union League of New York, a solidly Republican organization, took a straw ballot while I was in New York and the result of that ballot, which was all Democratic is Indicative of conditions prevailing throughout the East. "Insurgency, it seems from senti ment throughout the East and Mid dle West, reached its climax in the primaries. We have gone off on a tangent before. Populism, Coxey's Army, silver and what not, have at-, tracted the masses until they stopped to regain their senses. The supporter of Insurgent candidates are recovering and sentiment seems to indicate heavy losses for the Insurgents." JOSEPH PATTERSON HURT Oregon Man Probably Fatally In jured in Chicago. CHICAGO.

Six attempts at incendiar ism have aroused the police here to their utmost activity and the city Is being watched more closely than for years. The firebug seems to have no particular regard for persons, and al though one fire may have been a grudge, no reason can be assigned or the others. Patrolman George Roff found that papers in his basement had been burned, but the flames had not grown hot enough to ignite the house. That happened Saturday. Sunday an attempt was made to fire the parsonage of the First Baptist Church. Friday the Mulkey residence on Boyer avenue was threatened.

TALE OP BRIBES STARTLES Gamblers Seek to Kill Racetrack Bill. 1 PROMINENT MEN INVOLVED Slush Fund Raised at Meeting at Delmonico's. AULDS INQUIRY MADE TAME Correspondents for New York Dailies Accused of Accepting Money. Assistant District Attorney Reveals Corruption. NEW YORK. Oct. 19. Representative Otto G. Foelker, the man who was car ried from his sick bed into the State Senate chamber to cast the deciding vote for the anti-racetrack hills urged hy Governor Hughes, .took the witness stand today and told the Merritt joint legisla tive committee the details of an alleged attempt in 190S by cx-State Senator Frank J. Gardner, now under arrest, to buy his vote. Gardner was called to the stand, hut refused to testify. Robert Elder, First Assistant District Attorney, of Kings County (Brooklyn), repeated a conversa tion which he says lie had with Gardner last March, and which previously had been referred to as a 'confession." Mr. Elder did not vouch, of his own knowledge, for the truth of what he re peated, but he gave, for what it might be worth, testimony that involved more names of men now living and names of men higher In social, business and politi cal life, coupled with the distribution of bigger sums of money, than anything heard In either the Aulds Inquiry or at any of the previous sessions of the pres ent committee of investigation. Newspaper Men Involved. The narrative created a sensation. Briefly It told of a prominent man friendly to race tracks offering bribes; of $500,000 subscribed to a corruption fund; of the distribution of this fund to poli ticians, and to well-known Albany corre spondents of New York newspapers, and of a secret grievance of the late Senator Patrick McCarren that worked for the passage of the bill. "In the" month of March." testified Mr. Elder, "I sent for Gardner through his lawyer, who wanted to hnow what for. I told him for a personal chat, and shortly afterward Gardner came to my private office. I told him I wanted to know about the efforts made at Albany to defeat the race track bills. I told him that I had indictments against certain men and that his in formation might help. "Finally Gardner said, 'I don't mind telling you that there was a meeting at Delmonico's at which money was subscribed.' He mentioned the names of several men who were there, includ ing members of the Metropolitan Turf Association and the bookmakers. He said that among the men there that I remember were James R. Keene, David Mitchell, Mr. Parsons, Harry Payne Whitney and Charles II. Hyde." Swag Handlers Jealous. Charles H. Hyde is now Chamber lain of New York City and was for merly a law partner of Mayor Gaynor. James R. Keene is the well-known rac ing man and mil'ionaire stock market operator. "Mr. Parsons" was not fur ther Identified. "He (Gardner)," con tinued Mr. Elder, "said there was a dispute, about who should andle the money. Finally he said $125,000 was given to James C. Gaffney to take care of three or four members of the Legis lature Tammany men, he said. " James C. Gaffney Is president of the Gaffney Construction Company, which was handling many municipal con tracts. "I asked him the total amount of this fund," the witness resumed, "and he said, 'Oh, considerable.' I told him that I heard $300,000. He said that if I had guessed $500,000 I would have been nearer the mark. Of this, he said, Senator Grady got only $4000 and I might imagine what others got. "Senator McCarren, he said, was angry because he d!3 not have the handling of the fund and because a strange man was going up there ex pecting to get away with such a prop osition. He attributed the passage of the bill to McCarren's displeasure. Mr. McCarren was secretly In favor o the bill, he said, and wanted to be re venged because he had not been con sulted." Then came mention of the press. Correspondents Must Explain. "He (Gardner)," resumed Mr. Elder, "said the newspaper men were liberally taken care out of the fund." Asked for the names of these men Mr. Elder said: "I recall, he said, a man named Joe McEntee, of the Sun, got $3000; that Patrick Relihan. of the Press, got $3000; that Louis Siebold. of the World, got $3000; George Jandrin, of the Brooklyn Citizen. $3000, and George Tyrrell, of the Brooklyn Eagle, $3000. He said the Times man, of Brooklyn, got $300." Georse Tyrell. until January 1 Albany correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle, "(Concluded on Faie 2.) (
