The Hergexell was found floating naif deflated a hundred miles northwest of Heligoland by the Nor wegian steamer Naddod. and was brought in here. The balloon races 'that were started at Berlin on Sunday and Monday of this week have been characterized by a series of mishaps, but the Hergetell is the only airship to end its flight with death to Its pilots. A total of 60 balloons started in the two races, the first for the interna tional cup and the second an endurance contest. Two of them, the American Conqueror and the Spanish Montanes. burst In the air. the first at a height of 4000 feet and the second at a height of 6000 feet, and their occupants had mi raculous escapes from death. In each case the remains of the enveloped bal loons formed a kind of parachute, which saved the pilots. Shortly after these two mishaps had been recorded, the airships began to he reported from the North Pea. and, as It was seen that they undoubtedly would be driven out over this body of water, the Oerman Admiralty sent out a fleet of torpedo boats to effect res cues, while the British sent out two cruisers. Seeral of the balloons made safe landings -on shore close to the beach, but five of them, the American St. Louis, the Swiss Helvetia, the Spanish Castilla. the r.orman Basselv and the German Plaucn. came down in the water In the vicinity -of Heligoland, and their occupants all bad narrow escapes before they were picked up.

Even the early hours made it appar ent that all expectations of great crowds and enthusiastic welcome to the American fleet would be exceeded and that all records of the outpouring of popular sentiment would be, surpassed. The enthusiasm of the people was evi dently sincere though mixed with the natural curiosity to see the big fight ing ships from America, the long and successful cruise of which has marked a new epoch In naval history. Foreigners were In the minority In the crowd, but wherever they appeared they were treated with even exception al couitesy. because -loday. to the Japanese. all foreigners must be Americans, many of the Japanese be ing unable to distinguish between Americans and those from other lands.

The fleet responded by gracefully dTpplng colors. When It came closer In the fleet was met by aeven big ocean liners char ' tered by the Prefecture of Kanagawa, carrying 7000 persons, including many foreigners. The air was filled with bursting, bombs sent up from various points, and the roar of voices waa heard even in the city of Yokohama. When the fleet rounded Honmou point and came Into full view of the City of Yokohama, the IS assembled Japanese warships began firing the salute to the Kear-Admiral In command of the American fleets The roar of the guns, the bursting fire-works, bombs, the shriek of the steam sirens, with the accompaniment of the drone of the deep notes of the liners filled the air with overwhelming sound. Ashore bedlam broke loose and words fail to describe the enthusiasm of the assem bled thousands. When the American fleet finally came to anchor It presented an Impos ing spectacle. Thirty-two great war ships occupied four long columns . of eight each, the Americans taking the place of honor In the forefront, the Japanese Immediately behind them and heading due north. As soon as the fleet came to anchor a reception committee from the Japan ese government, representing every department and attaches of the various foreign embassies and legations and the Mayor of Yokohama, put off from shore for the flagship Connecticut Newspapers Herald Event.

"When Parent of Girl Attempts to Hit Him, Mlx-T'p Occurs In Which Tarcnt Is Worsted. An irate father who objected to the attentions of a young man to his daughter essayed to thrash the young man last night on a St. John car at the corner of Second and Washington streets and not only did not succeed but in turn was well thrashed for his efforts. The affair ended by the adjournment of all concerned and a number of witnesses to the police station under -the guidance of Patrol man J. Burke. There the father gave the name of J. Tayser. of St. John, while the escort said that he was James Murdock, also of St. John. Both of Tayser's eyes were blackened and several cuts were inartistically distributed 'er his fore head and cheeks. Sergeant Goltx, who Is Acting Captain cn the first night relief, after getting near the parent nnri cvM11ncr ViIk hrPflth delivered bim- I self of the opinion that the man had been drinking. His remark was not contradicted by Mr. Tayser. l-'rom the stories of the witnesses and of the principals in the encounter it developed that Mr. Tayser and his wife are getting a divorce and that pending this important family event the daughter, who Is a comely young woman of 21, Is living with her mother. Tayser, who boarded the csr after his daughter and her escort, grew angry when he saw them and tried to induce the younger man to leave her. This the young man re fused to do. Tayser then struck at him and a'general mix-up between father and escort ensued. After the party had started down Second street for the police station a young man who said that he was. John Murdock. and a brother of the escort, followed after cursing the policeman In round terms for having taken his brother into custody. He was found outside the police station by Sevgeant Keller casting Imprecations against the tlue coat. He was also brought inside and taken before the desk. While tha others were relating their stories he stood and cursed the officer under hi breath. , H I THIS LABEL STANDS r un o4 I EA11S I 1 .
