tenant Colonel Jamea S. ret tit,
formerly secretary in the military de
partment at Washington and at present
aailitary instructor in the District of
Columbia, read a thesis yesterday be
fore the military service institution at
Coventor's bland oa "How Far Does
Democracy Affect the Organisation and
Discipline of Our Armies, and How can
fia Influence Be Most Effectively Util
ised." Colonel Pettit dealt at length with
the subject, the general trend of hi
argument being that the influence of
politic upon the militry of this coun
try was baneful
The speaker said in parti
"The. great conquerors of the world
Vav been monarch s wielding practical
ly unlimited powers.
"When the military commanfler is
the ruler of the nation as well, he. is
the court of last appeal, and secures
tfcat unity of command and control of
laaources so vital to the successful or
ganization, the discipline and campaign
ing of armies. The further ye depart
from the principles the weaker we be

Xew York, Dec. 14.-Edward II. liar
rinian wrote a letter to the Armstrong
committee yetterday asking that an op
portunity be granted him to go upon
the wiUiw stkiid in the liriilt(ve
insurance investigation and testify re
garding his attempt, as described by
Thomas F, Ryan on Tuesday, to share
in the purchase of the majority of stock
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety. The cominttee informed Mr. Ilarri
man that he could have such an op
portunity any time he wanted it, and
it is eaid to be likely that he will testi

The committee has not taken any for

ney Carl Fischer-Hansen, giving the In
side facts as to how Robert B. Ballan
tine of the wealthy family of New Jer
sey brewer, who committed suicide Sat
day night, was blackmailed out of se
curities, cash and notes amounting to
$70,000 by a conspiracy shortly before
his death.
Mr. FWhcr-Hansen communicated
with the Ballan tine family yesterday
and strongly advised them that he be
permitted to give to the newspapers the
details of the conspiracy.
"I had an intimate acquaintance with
Mr. Ballantine for 14 years," said Mr.
Fwhcr-ITansen yesterday, "both as his
legal adviser and a a personal friend.
II visited my office last Friday and
unfolded to me the nature of the charges
made against him. He told me how un
der threats of exposure and even im
prisonment he liod been mulcted to the
extent of $70,000, It was one of the
most wonucrlul xtorics 1 have ever
heard.
"It was decided to lay the entire case
before District Attorney Jerome to se
cure the indictment end arrest' of the
men in the conxpiracy. Saturday after
noon we veiled the district attorney'
oflice. There we learned that Mr. Jer
ome had gone to Connecticut and could
not be seen until Monday. My friend
ended bis life Saturday night."
Mr. Fischerllansen said that Steps
had already been taken to stop pay
ment on sdverul wdes, hetyl by the
blackmailers ami an effort will be made
to regain most of the securities. Ne
expects to see members of the Ballan
tine family this morning and to start
for Charlottesville tonight to make a
personal investigation of the events
leading up to Ballantine's death.

ed before. Hi flight was over Grand
t Crossing and was witnessed by hund
reds of spectators.
The trip through the air at the height
of half a mile was made under difficul
ties. Wild's greatest peril was danger
of losing his hold of tha machine on
account of the cold. Twice hi numb
Angers slipped from their grasp of the
frame of the hip and twice he caught
himself by. hooking hia bl into a
groove in the cross beams.
The trip was made after several at-
temps covering a period of three week.
When the big air-hip sailed away the
crowds chirrs-d aad Wild waved hi
hand gleefully.
For a time all went well, the dirig
ible madiine moving to the South
smoothly. Then the engine operating
the proveller stopped because the sup
ply of gasoline was exhausted. With
that came to the air-hip man the real
ization that he was going higher and
higher and had no meaas of propelling
the ship in th direction of the earth.
Wild made ft frantic effort to escape
destruction, climlied to the network of
the gasfilted bag above him, and holding
on with the Angers of one hand, almost
frozen, with his -other ban unfastened
the cord that held the mouth of the
WHoon, permitting the -gas to escape in
ufftclent quantities to allow him to
reach the ground in safety.
The pulling down of the airship by
it trail rope was accotnpli-bed by two
women and a ly, with the greatet
difficulty and at great personal rUk,
for several parts of the machinery be
anie detached and their falling to the
ground lightened tlie balloon so that it
truggled with renewed energy to es
cape into the clouds. If it had escaped
from tho reseure Wild's death would
iv been certain as he would have been
carried out into the lake.
