With a sharp wind blowing and heavy clouds banking the sky, Captain Charles DeF. Chandler, United States Signal Corps, and J. C McCoy, an aeronaut of New York City, started tonight on the long distance bal loon trip they have been trying: to take for three days. They hoped the wind would carry them eastward, that they might land -near Washington, D. C. but immediately upon leaving the ground the balloon took a southerly course, veering slightly to tha west. Captain Chandler Is making aerial ob servations for the Government, which ia now interesting itself in balloons as to olds to the army in case of war. He carried instruments to show the altitude and the speed attained. Mr. McCoy hopes to win the Lahm cup offered for the longest distance continuous flight. The balloon left the ground at 7:21 P. M. The weather was not favorable for ballooning, the air being heavy with moisture and the temperature almost to the freezing point, but the flight was made In order to have the benefit of the moonlight, without which the flight would not have been attempted. Several carrier pigeons were taken and messages will be sent back to St. Louis by the aeronauts. Captain Chandler said before filtering the basket ttiat they expect to be. in the air about 4S hours. Provisions to last the two men three days were taken. The start was even, the balloon rising straight in the air until higher than sur rounding buildings. It then veered sharply to the south and continued in that direction until lost to sight. The America, In which Mr. McCoy and Captain Chandler ascended. Is the sec ond largest balloon in the United States. It has a displacement of 78,000 cubic feet and lifting power of 3500 pounds. WOULD PARDON JANUARY JiOOSEVKLT INCLINED TO HE LEASE NEW JEAX VALJEAX. Thinks Nine Years' Good Living Jus tifies Clemency Calls for He ports of Officials. WASHINGTON. April 30.-JPres!dent Roosevelt in a note to the Department of Justice, expressed the opinion that John William January of Kansas City. Mo., should have his sentence commuted at once or be pardoned outright. January was convicted 12 years ago of robbing a postofflce in Oklahoma and served the greater portion of a five-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth. He then escaped and after nine years of liberty was re-arrested in Kansas City and re turned to prison Many petitions have reached the President asking for his par don. He had lived In Kansas City under the name of S. W. Anderson during the time he was at liberty. January, under hts assumed name, se cured employment and eventually estab lished himself in business, which he was successfully conducting at the time of his re-arrest. He married and has a child. President Roosevelt's action followed a visit of Senator Warner, of Missouri, to the White House early in the day. Senator Warner presented to the Presi dent a typewritten statement concerning a synopsis of petitions signed by 2500 persons, representing bankers, business men. doctors, lawyers and Judges of his state. He also told the President there was a petition circulated in Missouri al ready signed by 37,200 persons, asking for January's pardon. After the matter had been explained to him, the President made the following Indorsement upon the statement: "Department of Justice In view of the statements of the bankers, judges and so forth who know him. I think Ander son's nine years of life as. an honest citi zen, hard working and of good repute, warrant us in commuting his sentence at once. or In pardoning him outright. Which do you think ought to be done? Are there sufficient reasons or not for doing either?" The Department of Justice sent letters it th trial liiilkT-a art A th TH strict A t. torney who tried Anderson, asking for a report upon the case and a recommenda tion as to whether be should receive ex ecutive clemency. When these reports are received the department will make a report to the President. Until that is done no action will be taken. JAXVAHY HEAHS GOOD NEWS Happy Faintly Meeting in Prison Is Marked by Joyous Tears. LKAVBNWORTH, Kan.. April 30. Until official news is received from Washington, Major W. R. McClaughrey, warden of the Federal penitentiary here, will not communicate with William January, or Anderson, regarding any steps taken in his case. When January was returrfed to the penitentiary, he was assigned as a helper in the laundry. He Is considered r model prisoner. When he escaped he Ft ill had eight months to serve, allowing time off for good behavior. Now, unless pardoned, he must finish out his full lime, two years and two months. Mrs. Anderson arrived at the prison at B o'clocli this afternoon, accompanied by her little girl and Robert January, a brother of the prisoner. The prisoner and his brother had not met for years and, when they recognized each other, a tear ful greeting ensued. The 'wife was also present. After January had kissed his wife and fcchlld. the little woman began cautiously 'to tell the prisoner of the contents of the Associated Press dispatch from Washington. Instantly his eyes bright ened, he stood, erect and his whole man ner changed. He believed himself in sight of liberty, and in the general happiness the little family again gave way to tears of Joy. The group were left to them selves and a lengthy family confab endued. Constipation, which gives rise to many Braver troubles, is cured and prevented by Carter s Little Wver PiUa.

Shubert Company Bookings Taken Care of by Sew United States Amusement Company. NEW YORK. April 30. Tho board of directors of the Society of Independent Theater Managers, consisting of David Belasco. Lee Shubert, Harrison Grey Fiske, Henry Miller and Walter N. Law rence, after a meeting today gave out a statement relative to the newly formed Cnitrd States Amusement Company saying that a misapprehension has prown out of the recent acquisition for vaude ville by the newly formed company of several theaters under the management of the Shuberts. The theaters in question comprise several that were acquired by the Shuberts to supplement the original circuit of independent theaters and their withdrawal does not in any respect alter the general situation. They say it is their purpose to conduct the various enterprises on strictly in dependent lines. They intend that contracts and booking obligations previously entered into for the independent theaters acquired by the Shubert corporation wiU be fulfilled, but it is to be distinctly understood that the- fulfillment of such obligations does not In any sense irrlply and should not be construed either by the press or the public as implying any agreement on their part that is contrary to the prin ciples of theatrical independence.

There was a very interest ing reunion between the members of tha family yesterday morning in the court house, the other daughters passing most of the morning with the father there Today the" same programme prevailed, the family being gathered in comfortable seats or strolling over the lawn for several hours. The men accused with Haywood were also in the grounds. They both have their wives with them, but Mrs. Moyer Is ill at the hospital. Mr. Moyer visits her regularly each day, while Mrs. Petti bone has an opportunity to promenade In the grounds with her husband daily. The Courthouse stands in a large square Burrounded by a beautiful lawn. The three prisoners sleep behind bars In" a jail addition built at the back, but dur ing the day they occupy a room in the older portion of the building connecting with the Sheriff' office. Each day they are permitted to go out in the grounds, where they may pitch quoits, or indulge In such other exercise as they desire. During the outdoor period the wives visit their husbands, and other friends come in and hold conferenf-es with them. There are guards at hand, but these ren der themselves as Inconspicuous as possible. IN CHARGE OF BREWERIES Receivers Take Possession of Kansas City Properties. KANSAS CITT. Mo.. April 30. The three receivers appointed by the Kansas Su preme Court, accompanied by men of the offices of the Sheriff and Attorney-General, made the rounds in Kansas City, Kan., today and took possession of I all property believed to be owned Dy the (in dicted brewing companies. At each place visited the keys to the buildings were taken by the receivers, the doors locked and a notice tacked up atat In that they were in possession. Wherever any show of resistance was made, the receivers declined to argue the matter, referring all the complaints to the court for settlement. "The brewers have sought to conceal the real ownership of the property," said one of tho receivers, "by transferring the title to employes and agents. We know who they are. however, so there will be no dif ficulty about that."
