From Tegal in Race for the
Kaiser's Cup.
GREAT CROWD SEES THEM
Delegates Are Present From the In
ternational Aeronautic Society
for Whom tlfe Exhibition
Is Really Given.
BERlJX, Oct. 14. In a breeze blowing
15 miles an hour, 17 balloons started today
In the international balloon race for the
cup of Bmperor William. The balloons
were sent up within an inclosure at Tegal,
six miles northwest of Berlin, where ar
rangements had been made to inflate ten
of the balloons simultaneously in an hour
and a half.
The adjacent fields were crowded with
thousands of automobiles and carriages
and fully 100.000 persons assembled to see
the race. The starters were officers of
the army balloon; corps. The balloons
themselves were cast off by non-commissioned
officers. The great swaying, yel
low coverings could be seen for miles
as one approached the meadow and made
a show altogether unique for most of the
observers.
The first balloon to start was the
Helios Vienna, Aerial Club. Dr. Schleim,
aeronaut. As it swung away, with sand
streaming down on the people directly
underneath, the crowd waved hats and
handkerchiefs and cheered them at five
minute intervals. Then followed the Berne
Aero Club's Bauclair; the Helmholtz,
Berlin Aero Society, Dr. Delias, and the
Radium, Belgium Aero Club, Adhemar de
la Hault. Two French and one Spanish
balloon failed to arrive in time to take
in the race. The other starters were:
Ernst, the smallest of the assemblage,
(K0 cubic meters, Berlin- Air Navigation
Society, Brockelmann; City of Brussels,
Belgium Aero Club, Leon de Brackers;
Schenke, Munich Air Navigation Club,
Dr. Emden; Strasburg, Upper Rhine
Air .Navigation Club Llleutenant
Ixihmueller; Hommern, Berlin Air
Navigation Society, Baron von
Hewald; the Dusseldorf, the largest com
petitor, 2400 cubic metres. Lower Rhine
Airship Club. Lieutenant Benecke;
Coblenz, Middle Rhine Balloon Club,
Lieutenant Zimmerman; the Graudenz,
East German Balloon Society, Cap
. tain von Krogh; the Franklin,
Franklsh Air Ship Club, Karl Hoch
etetter; the Bezold and the Suering, Ber
lin Air Navigation Society, Captain von
Kohler and IJeutenant Ribbentrop re-specti-ely,
and the Brandenburg, Aeron
autic Observatory at Lindenburg, Dr.
. Curt . Wegenes.
There was only one threatened mishap.
The basket of the Graudenz caught
among some telegraph wires, but it was
soon freed.
Among the prominent aeronauts present
were the delegates of the International
Aeronautic Society, for whom the race
really was given. The day was beautiful
and sunny, but toward evening It eom-
menced to grow quite cold. The balloons
were carried off by a southwesterly wind
and probably will hind in Silesia or
Brond. The victory will go to the
cleverest handler of ballast.
RIOT AT LOXGCIIAMPS TRACK.
Crowd Goes Crazy When Four, In
cluding Favorite, Are Left at Post.
PARIS, Oct. 14: There were violent
public demonstrations at the Longchamp3
racecourse this afternoon in consequence
of an unsatisfactory start in the free
handicap. The trouble culminated in
riots, pillage and incendiarism. Many
persons were arrested.
The programme comprised six races,
and the first two passed off without in
cident. There were nine starters in the
free handicap, the next event, and four,
including the favorite, were left at the
post. A complete outsider won. The pub
lic Immediately became enraged and
broke down the barriers and invaded the
track. Crowds demanded the return of
their bets. They surrounded the book
makers' booths, chased out the cashiers
and seized the money.
The crowd's anger increased and men
began breaking chairs and throwing them
on the track. Then a rougher element
raided some automobiles near the stands
and seized some supplies of petroleum,
with which they sprinkled the booths and
other woodwork and set them afire.
The squad of tircmen on duty were
helpless, as the water hose had been
cut. The authorities telephoned for as
sistance to Mount Valerien, and a strong
body of troops was at onca sent up on
the double-quick. The soldiers succeeded
eventually in clearing the Inclosure by
charging, but In the meantime the better
structures had burned to the ground. A
large wooden building belonging to the
bookmakers also was set on fire.
The last three races were postponed.
Sixty arrests were made, and a large
number of policemen and rioters were
injured.

and Three Children He Clubbed
to Death in Brutal Manner.
' HOUSTON, Mo., Oct 14. Barney
Parsons, a farmer, his wife and three
children, aged 11, 4 and 1 year, were
murdered Friday near Licking, Mo.
Judah Hamilton, a farmer, aged 20, has
been arrested, charged with the mur
der, nd is said to have confessed. The
body of Parsons was found, shot to
death, and the mother and three chil
dren had been clubbed to death.
Parsons had sold his farm crops to
Hamilton, and it is alleged that the
men quarreled over the terms of th6
sale. Parsons and family set out from
their former home in a covered wagon,
bound for Northern Missouri.
Judah Hamilton, the alleged mur
derer, is in the Houston Jail, strtmgly
guarded to prevent lynching. Ha is
said to have made a complete confes
sion, of which the following is a sum
mary: At a timber-bordered place in tha
road, as Parsons and his family were
driving along, they were confronted by
Hamilton, armed with a shotgun. De
liberately aiming at Parsons, Hamilton
discharged both barrels of the gun
and Parsons fell to the ground. Ham
ilton then advanced upon him and
clubbed him over the head with the
butt end of the gun several times. He
then beat the head of the mother al
most to a pulp, and after killing her,
clubbed the three children to death.
The bodies of all of the five were then
loaded -Into a wagon and taken to Big
Piney Creek and dumped into the
water.
A party of fishermen 'from Houston
discovered bodies of two of the children
Saturday. A further search brought
to light the bodies of both parents, and
word was sent to Houston. The baby's
body was found today. Soon after the
news had been received in "Houston
Hamilton rode into town on a mule
that was recognized as one that be
longed to Parsons. He was arrested
and locked up in jail.

fact is the price was made with his
partner." When asked whether Gibson
owes him any money, Kreidt admitted
that he does owe him about $100.
Until last May Gibson was traveling
for Bushong & Co., of this city, but left
the Arm and went into business for him

derstood that until a month or so ago
the business prospered. Gibson was the
business manager and Smith the printer.
Gibson is 45 years old and has a wife
and two children living at STJ Corbett
street Up to a late hour last night he
could not secure the necessary ball and
was still being detained at the City Jail.
His attorney declares that Gibson is a
peaceable man, and he can only attribute
his actions to a sudden derangement

state and county elections and was an
ardent worker for the Republican party.
He owns several valuable hunting dogs,
admitted to be -some of the best in the
fctate, and is a well-known man around

QUEER RECORD IN SPOKANE.
Acts There Indicate Gibson Is Men
tally Unbalanced.
SPOKANE. Oct. 14. (Special.) Captain
Coverly, of the Spokane police, says Will
C. Gibson, about a year ago, entered
Dunn's saloon, at Spokane, when Bar
tender Boyd was the only man in the
place. Gibson asked for a sheet of paper
and a pen and as Boyd was stooping over
the desk to get It, Gibson struck him
over the head with an iron bar, knocking
him to the floor.
Gibson's motive for the act has never
been revealed. He disclaims knowledge
of it, saying everything was a blank to
him. Gibson was convicted, fined 1250 and
costs and paid the amount, or says he did,
according to a conversation he had with
Captain Coverly while the latter was vis
iting the Portland Fair.

, BUT DENIES IT
MISS DECKER, OF PORTLAND,
SAYS SHE IS NOT MRS. MANN.
Daughter of Weil-Known Evangelist
Has Been Living at Spokane
Under Two Names.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Oct. 14. (Special.)
Myatery surrounding the supposed wed
ding of Dr. G. Burwell Mann, of Spo
kane, and Miss Winnie Decker, of Port
land, Or., at Colfax, Wash., August 22,
deepens, as both of the young people per
sist in denying the marriage in the face
of almost conclusive circumstantial evid
ence. Miss. Decker is the daughter of
Rev Mr. Decker, of Portland.
Miss Decker is now living at the Clare
rooming-house, Lincoln street. Until
three weeks ago she lived at the rooming
house of Mrs. C. D. Cramer, Fourth
avenue. After coming to Spokane last
May she attended the Blair business col
lege for several weeks, when she gave
her correct name. Later she quit at
tending school and took employment at
the Palace department store. In the rib
bon department, where she was known as
Mrs. Briscoe.
. It was while working at the Palace that
she lived at the house of Mrs. Cramer,
where she was known as Mrs. Briscoe, a
young widow, whose husband had been
dead for two years. She is known as
Miss Decker at the Clare.
Miss Decker denied today that she and
Dr. Mann are married, but admitted that
they are engaged She also admitted that
she had livad at Mrs. Cramer's house and
had worked at the Palace department
store under the name of Mrs. Briscoe.
"I did not want my friends in Portland
to know that I was working here," she
explained, "and for this reason I gave
an assumed name. I had to do some kind
of work to keep people from talking
about me. It was not necessary for me
to work for my living."
"You will not admit your marriage to
Dr. Mann?" was asked. "Certainly not.
According to the morning paper he denies
It. and a young woman could hardly ad
mit that she Is married to a man who de
nies it"
"Why do you wish your marriage kept
secret?"
"I did not say that we ire married.
But if we were and had reasons for
keeping it secret, I suppose we would rot
tell it. Why don't you get Dr. Mann to
tell you about it?"
Miss Decker is a good-looking young
womari, apparently about 20 years of age.
She has a light complexion, with light
brown hair, and Is vivacious in her con
versation. Dr. Mann was told over the telephone
tonight that Miss Decker had admitted
their engagement.
"I have nothing to say about it," he
said.
"Do you admit that you know Miss
Decker?" he was asked.
"No. I don't admit that I know any
thing. Good-bye."
The Spokesman-Review correspondent
at Colfax confirmed the information that
Dr G. B. Mann and Mias Decker had
been married In that city by Rev. H. G.
