If the balloon Indiana haa not been diequalifled by touching earth it hi broken the Amer ican endurance record by staying in tha air more than 44 hour. Since the balloon itarted in the national distance race of the Aero club of America from thi city Saturday two report have been received from it. One wa that it hud touched the earth in Tenneasee and had taken on water and proceeded t iward the south. If thi i true the balloon I disquali fied under the rule of the International Aeronautical Federation. A eecond diapntch signed by the pilot, Carl Fisher, and hi aide, G. L. iiumbaugh, haa atnted that they dropped down near enough to earth to let down a lid and draw up a bucket of water. Under three condition she ha not been die qualifled. It i not poanible according to avail able information, that the Indiana had broken the distance record of 852 mile, for it was traveling due south and would come to the Gulf coast al most 1011 miles short of the record es tablished by the German bulluon Pom mern in the international rece nearly two years ago for the James Gordon Dennett trophy, which started from St. Louis ai.d landed at Asbury Park, N. J.

The Indianapolis won the cup offered for the greatest dis tance by the Indianupolia Merchant' association, having approximately 16 mile better to her record than the Ohio. She also won the Fisher trophy for time in the air, having a margin of almost two hour over the Chicago. The victory of i the Indianapolis men and their balloon is considered remark able, inasmuch a they are new at bal looning. They atarted on their flight with but five bag of sand, and were lightly provisioned. They made 235 miles, and were in the air 19 hours. A message from them say their high est altitude waa 13.000 feet. They were ahot at twice a they went over Kentucky, but were not hit.

OREGON, PHI DAY, .JUNE 11, 1909. AIRSHIP RUNS AWAY. Inventor Drives Damaged Craft to Earth and Slides Down Rope. East St Louis, III., June 7. A cast away in theakie: through the breaking of hi guide rope, which formed bi only connection with the earth, and later an areonaut on the ground, with his ship floating away through ipace, pursued on the ground by an automo bile, Claude M. Zellen, a one-legged inventor, tonight contributed new page to the history of aeronautics. In a machine of no tpye known to aeronautics, Invented by William Smith, a cattle-dealer, and described as the largest aeroplane in the world, Zeller flew from East St. Louis this afternoon at 5 :80 o'clock. When 100 feet up the guide rope became en tangled in an apple tree and snapped, leaving the aviator a castaway. He sailed 40 miles in tigzag course and succeeded in making a hazardous land ing at Belleville, 20 milea from where he atarted. Zeller wa unable to atop bi ma chinery, but pointed the nose of hia craft toward the ground and allowed it to shoot down like a meteor until the end of the broken rope trailed on the ground. Just aa Zellers slid down the rope, a distance of 70 feet, it broke and the dirigible, its enginea going full speed, soared into the sky without a pilot. Zellers pursued the bag'for time in an automobile, but could not keep up with it. TRAIN GOES THROUGH TRESTLE. Plucky Engineer and Firemen Minim ize Diaaatar. Cottage Grove, Or., June 6.

GREAT STRIKE ENDS Philadelphia Street Car Men Gain Important Points. CONCESSIONS FROM BOTH SIDES Employes Oet 22 Centa an Hour, Ten Hour Day, and Buy Uniforms In Open Market. Philadelphia, June 6. "Th strike has been settled. The men will re ceive 22 cents an hour beginning to morrow morning, and 10 hours will constitute a day's work." This statement tonight from C. O. Pratt, chairman of the executive com mittee of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes, followed by the deportation of the 450 non union workmen, marked the end of the strike ot employes of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company. The trouble began last Saturday. The settlement was brought about primarily by State Senator James P. McNicbol, republican leader of thia city, at conferences yesterday with the traction officials and labor representa tive. These conferences were fol lowed by others today. After being in session nearly all day the men agreed to accept 22 cenU an hour. The old "swing system" has been abolished, 10 hours will consti tute a day's work, all employes will be permitted to purchase their uniforms in the open market, all future difficul ties are to be adjusted between the company and a grievance committee chosen by the employes. After a conference in City ball which lasted until early today, Mayor Rey burn made public a letter addressed to John B. Parsons, president of the tran sit company, in which he offered the terms for a settlement of the strike. He suggested among other things the following: "All former employes will be re stored to their former positions. "Your employes to form a represen tative body which shall from time to time be accorded full opportunity to take up with the proper officers of the company any and all questions affect ing the rights of employes. "The rate of wages beginning July 1., 1909, to be 22 cents an hour. "These conditions to continue for one, two or three years, as may be agreed upon." President Parsons made an immed iate reply accepting the suggestions. Some dissatisfaction is expressed by the strikers, who do not regard the rate of wagea named as a concession. How ever, the agreement gives them shorter hours and concedes them the right to purchase their uniforms from whom they please. PORK PRICE GOES SOARING. Almost Highest Price Since Civil War Is Recorded in Chicago. Chicago, June 5. Pork for Septem ber delivery sold today at $20.07. With the exception of a brief period in 1906, when cash pork sold for one day at $20 per barrel, this figure has not been seen in this market since the Cudahy corner in 1893, when it sold at $23. It sold during the Armour cor ner in 1887, at $24; and the highest price on record in this market was dur ing the civil war, when it sold at $43 per barrel. With the exception of the manipu lated markets of 1893 end 1887, there fore, the price reached today was prac tically the highest since the civil war. No manipulation of the provision mar kets is now charged, but the high prices are due to the disappointing re ceipts of hogs during the" month of May, and thus far during the present month.
