Storm-Tossed Gas Bag Rent

BASKET SUSPENDED IN AIR
Sudden Stop Makes Captain Uncon
sciousSnow Gathered at 12, 000
Foot Altitude Revives Story of
Perilous Trip Is Told.
Rent by an explosion or electric
flash about 8 o'clock Thursday night
at the height of 3500 feet, the '"Mil
lion Population" balloon of Captain
John Berry was torn into two parts.
The lower part of the envelope fell
on Captain Berry and his aide, George
Morrison, and the balloon became a gi
gantic parachute. Then it hurtled to
ward the wildest part of Clackamas
County at sickening speed. -
Captain Berry. had Just time to cut
away with his knife a number of sacks
of ballast and Mr. Morrison to throw
lifebelts and luggage overboard.
Basket Suspended on Tree.
This tended to check the downward
rush, but the big bag dashed into the
tree tops. So sudden was the stop that
Captain Berry was knocked uncon
scious. The balloon came down Just in the
right spot. The upper half of the en
velope caught in the tops of three dog
wood trees, that towered away into the
sky. These bent down and the basket
was brought to a. halt some 30 or 40
feet above the ground.
Frightful Dests Evaded.
Had the balloon struck 20 feet to
the south it would have crashed into
a grove of giant firs and the aeronauts
might have been killed. About 300
feet to the north is a three-acre slashed
clearing, and had they struck there,
they would have met a frightful death.
Captain Berry is. - positive that in
more than 300 asensclons he ' never
met with such a terrifying experience.
Balloon Reached 13,000 Feet.
When the balloon came to rest It was
full .of snow, which had accumulated
in it at the high altitudes it .had
reached. With this snow Mr. Morrison
revived Captain Berry.
. The barograph reading of the "Mil
lion Population" shows that it reached
12,000 feet. This -was - immediately
after the electric storm, which wrecked
the balloon of Captain Honeywell and
Dr. Stewart.
Captain Honeywell reported on hip
return that Captain Berry threw out
ballast and rose high when he saw the
plight of the other balloon.
Instantly Captain Berry and Mr. Mor
rison were in the throes of the same
dual electric storm which was harass
ing Captain Honeywell at the lower
level.
Elements Play With Balloon.
The balloon was picked and tossed
here and there. At times the aero
nauts had to cling to the upper rig
ging, to save themselves from being
cast headlong to earth. At tlmos the
basket was almost upside down.
All the time the lightning flashed
and' played, through the balloon with
a curious whirring sound.
The rain and the snow forced the
balloon down rapidly.
At the lower level of 3500 feet, the
storm was struck again. There the
balloon became a plaything of the
elements. It was dashed along in the

Four hundred rioters took the safe
from the Federation members, put it
on a wagon and dynamited It, after
driving the Sheriff and his deputies

policemen watched the dynamiting

ROME, June IS. An outstanding fea.
ture In the general strike situation to
day was the news received at the cap
ital of the proclamation of an Italian
republic by the people of several
towns bordering on the Adriatic, in
Northeastern Italy.
In some towns like Fabrlano and
Rimini scenes similar to those of the
French revolution ' were enacted. The
inhabitants, misled by reports Issued
from the headquarters of the anarchis
tic committee at Ancona, an Important
seaport on the Adriatic, to the effect '
that a revolutionary movement had
been successful in overthrowing the
monarchy, proclaimed a republic and
substituted for the national flag the
black banner of the Peasants' League.
People Fed on Rumors.
All the newspapers were burned the
moment they reached those towns in
order to prevent the people from
knowing the real condition of the coun
try, as the revolutionary leaders had
declared that King Victor Emmanuel
had escaped to Montenegro; that the
revolution had mastered the entire pen
insula, and that the troops had Joined
with the people.
In some Instances the soldiers were
compelled to fire on the people before
order was restored, with the result that
several persons were killed or in
jured. At Ancona, where the first demon
stration took place, which resulted in
the general strike, bluejackets from
the naval division, commanded by Ad
miral Umberto Cagnl. reinforced the
garrison. Ancona has been a hotbed
of the revolutionary movement, as the
leaders have been spreading the re
port that King Victor Emmanuel had
been forced to flee the country and
that Premier Salandra was a prisoner.
Towns Baled by "Committee.
The most serious situation exists
in the province of Ravenna, where vil
lages and small towns are being ruled
by the local republican committee,
which has armed the inhabitants, thus
giving the Ignorant masses the im
pression that any kind of violence will
be permitted. Churches and clubs have
been sacked or burned, but in the case
of private residences the revolutionists
have asked the owners' permission to
take possession of their belongings.
These have been sold for next to noth
ing in order to give the poorer people
the impression that the "republic" will
maintain Its promise to bring hack the
golden age and end forever the high
cost of living.
Ten thousand soldiers are gradually'
being spread throughout the provinoe
and It Is expected that Sunday will
see the awakening from the brief
dream.
