McCoy Hopes to Win Lafim Cup for
Longest Flight Expects to Spend
All of Two Days Traveling
High in the Air.
ST. LOUIS, April 30. 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.

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.

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."
