TWENTY-SEVEN TO COMPLETE Let it be Distinctly Understood That no Expense or Effort Will be Spared to Enable American Trio to Bring Back the Cup. NEW YORK. April 9 Cortland Field Bishop, president Aerie Club of America, will sail for Europe to-day on the French Line Steamer La Prov ence. He intends to make some long otomobic trips and dabble a little at his special hobby of ballooning. "Let it be distinctly understood that no expense or effort will be spared to enable the American trio to bring back the cup which was won l7 Frank P. Lahm in the first race in 1906." said Mr. Bishop We are go ing to have a strong team, Lt Lahm and J. C. McCoy having just been nominated by the club as two of its members. We know who we want for the third man, but he is yet un decided about being able to go. Every member of the team will have new balloons and Mr. McCoy will prob ably have his built in Paris. "Twenty seven balloons, represent ing eight nations have entered for this year's race and it will surely be the hardest fought event of its kind seen in Europe. While I am very fcopeful for America, my impartial opinion is that the French and Ger man balloonists will make the stiffest fght for the cup. Berlin is noted for its variable winds and it would ot be surprising to see the balloons come down in all quarters of the con tinent" Mr. Bishop, with Mr. McCoy and Frank P. Lahm both of whom are now in Faris will be the delegates from the Aero Club ot America iu the International Aeronautic Con gress in London May 28th-30th.

S. Tevis against the editor and proprietor of the Bul letin and the , attorney for Rucf sought to disqualify him on this ground but Judge Dooling permitted him to qualify. He is subject to the peremptory challenge by the defense. Twelve new names were placed in the jury box this morning and when the court adjourned only two of them were subject to further examination. It is quite certain that a jury will not be secured this week. The ma jority of the probable jurors are dis charged after plainly stating that they have prejudice due to reading the newspapers. DOCTORS AND LAWYERS Chaged With Conspiring to Defraud i the City in False Damage Suits. CHICAGO, April 9 Evidence against dishonesty of doctrs and law yers, whom City Attorney Caverly charges with conspiring to defraud the city of Chicago out of heavy dam ages in alleged personal injury suits was laid before the grand jury yes terrlnv Sufficient evidence to in dicate a West Side physician was submitted to the jurors but his name is withheld, for fear he may leave the city if warned of the indictment. Other evidence was presented against an attorney and a "runner" one who gets damage cases for law yersand it is expected indictments will be returned against both. That is only the beginning of a crusade against crooked lawyers and doctors whom the city attorney as serts have defrauded the city out of thousands of dollars in the last few years. Evidence also will be given to the grand jury against persons who claimed damages for personal injuries after being "schooled" by conspirators. ATTITUDE ALL RIGHT. RUEF TRIAL DRAGS.

AUSTRALIAN APPREHENSION. LONDON', April 9 Australias ap prehension in the matter of possible aggression on the part of Japan was voiced at a meeting held here late today of the Australian Chamber of Commerce by Thomas Price, the premier of South Australia.

Price expressed his approval in strong terms of the pro posal to raise a federal citizen army in Australia. THEATRICALS.
