tenant Koertsch. is tlie only one of tiiese
now unaccounted for, but a message from
tills balloon was Diclced up near Oster-
wanne. In Hanover province, which it is
believed, was written Tuesday. It was
as follows:
Message From Missing.
"Herrexell. 9 A. M.. height 1100 metres:
direction and place uncertain, probably
near the coast. "KOHETSCH."
Meteorological observations show that
the wind at ihat time was blowing in the
direction of the sea and it is certain that
the Hergesell was driven to the north
west, the direction taken by the majority
of the other contestants and that If she
Is found at all she will be found like sev
eral other balloons in the two contests. In
the waters of the North Sea
Search Still Continues.
TVir vessels are still searching the
waters and all outgoing ships have been
notified at various porta to be on the out
look and it is possible that the two men
who ascended in the Hergexell may have
been rescued by some vessel.
The escape of other balloorilsts during
the pas' week Is considered little- short
of miraculous. The Helvetia, the Swiss
representative; the Castitla, Spanish; the
Busley. German, and the St. Louis,
American, all were forced to descend In
the sea. but the crews of these balloons
were picked up.

neither he nor his companion ever ex
pected to survive. After the start they

TAFT FRIEND OF LABOR
(Continued from Frst Page.)
flee a stancher friend than Mr. Taft.
The attack upon him by certain self
constituted political leaders of organ
ised labor, for these men are trying to
persuade the people of this country that
organized labor has interests apart from
and hostile to the interests of the great
mass of the American people, and sucn
an attitude, if persisted in. would inevi
tably in the end result disastrously to
organized labor itself. I believe they
will fail in this effort to misguide their
followers and to do wrong to the Ameri
can people; and It Is above all things for
the interest of organized labor that they
should fail.
"If Mr. Taft were not elected, the chief
sufferers from the chaotic business con

benefit by Mr. Taffs election, but the

London Times Secures State
ment From Roosevelt.
OXFORD TO HONOR HIM
Arranges to Confer Title of D. C. Ii.
on piMing-uished . American
After African Hunting
Trip Is Ended.
LiOXDON. Oct. 17. The Times is in
formed that President Roosevelt will visit
England after his African trip early In
1910. He will deliver the Romanes lec
ture at Oxford and on the occasion of the
university commemoration will receive
the honorary title of D. C. L, which Ox
ford has already bestowed upon Emperor
William.
According to the Times, President
Roosevelt will also visit Paris and deliver
an address at the Sorbonne. Neither the
dates nor the subjects of the lectures are
yet known.
The Times further states that according
to the present plans. Mrs. Roosevelt will
Join the President at Khartoum on the
Journey northward. The Times in an edi
torial says that the whole British public
will welcome President Roosevelt with
the sincerest pleasure, and adds that it
will be difficult, if not impossible, to
name a truest who would be assured of a
more hearty and genuine welcome by all
classes of the people.
"Our pleasure will be all the greater,"
says the Times, "if Mrs. Roosevelt can be
induced to accompany him. Roosevelt's
reputation here In this country Is as great
as hat of the greatest American Presi
dent since the time of President Lincoln."
KOOSEVKLT ADMITS TRUTH
Says Story Published in London Is
Entirely Correct.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 16. The report
from London as to President Roosevelt's
movements following his trip to Africa
is substantially true. The elaboration of
the President's plans, it was admitted at
the White House today, has been in pro
cess of arrangement all along, but had
not reached a stage of completion desir
able for publication until Wednesday, on
which day Lord iorthcliff. part owner of
the London Times, was the President's
guest at luncheon.
It was on this occasion that the Presi
dent made known his intention to visit
London and Paris on his return trip from
the African hunting grounds, accom
panied by Mrs. Roosevelt, who is to Join
him at Khartoum on the Upper Nile. It
is explained that the Itinerary of the
social side of Mr. Koosevelt s trip has
not been worked out as yet, the time
being too distant to permit of more than
tentative arrangements.
It was further said that the reticence
that has been observed was owing In
part to the President's disinclination to
have his plans discussed so far in ad
vance.

With Field Apparatus.
CAMP ATASCADERO, Cal., Oct. 16.
The most successful wireless work
during the present army maneuvers
resulted today, when the semi-permanent
station erected by First Lieuten
ant Paul W. Beck, chief signal officer,
heard messages exchanged between
Bremerton Navy-yard and some other
station signing "On."
This is the record for long-distance
receiving with the field pack set. Brem
erton is over 1200 miles distant and
the sets are designed for use over less
than one-twelfth that distance.
When questioned about the remark
able results. Lieutenant Beck said they
were obtained by simply doubling the
antenna spread, adding 15 feet to the
height of the mast and grounding on a
water pipe.
Tonight sending tests are being
made and It is confidently expected
that Goat Island will be reached.

SHERMAN GETS SETBACK

Strikes First "Frost" on Alleghany
Indian Reservation.
OLEAN, N. Y., Oct. 16. There was a
dramatic moment today in the Itinerary
of James S. Sherman, on the Alleghany
Indian Reservation,- when the Republican
Vice-Presidential candidate came face to
face with the- political "boss" of that
territory, a full-blooded Indian.
When the "Big White Chief," as the
Indians called Mr. Sherman, swept up
In his automobile to the little group of
houses and halted before the dozen or
more Indian women and men. there was
little curiosity displayed in regard to the
visitor.
W. C. Hoag, treasurer of the Indian
Reservation, stepped forward to greet Mr.
Sherman.
"I am very glad to meet you. Mr.
Hoag." said the candidate.
"How do," laconically grunted the only
genuine American political boss in the
United States, as he slowly extended his
hand, with not a suspicion of a smile of
greeting coming over his swarthy fea
tures. -
That closed the ceremony, not a cheer,
not a handwave by either - "brave" or
"squaw" as the big car disappeared in a
cloud of dust down the highway.
"And I've fought every move to deprive
them of their snap here, too," sadly re
marked Mr. Sherman, who Is chairman
of the committee on Indian affairs in
the House.
- Twelve hours hard campaigning closed
here tonight with an old-fashioned Re
publican rally.
