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. An
wtruational balloon race has been
planned for the closing day, and Mr.
Bishop said it was Mr. McCoy's in
tention to enter, probably being the
rn!y American competitor.
grocer Koneman served as a juror
in the case of W. 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.

WASHINGTON, April 9. -The
Russian government has been put in
possession of the views of the Amer
ican State Department regarding that
portion of Harbin controlled by the
Chinese Western Company, and
brought into question by the attitude
of Consul-Gcneral Fisher in maintain
ing that he is accredited exclusively
to China and consequently is unable
to recognize any other authority in
Harbin. These views make it clear
that Fisher's attitude is entirely con
distent with and not prejudicial to the
relations which exist between China
and the Railroad Company. It is said
that new instructions will go forwar.l

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 was
emphasizing the necessity of Great
Britain giving a more tangible proof
of her interests in her Colonies.
"You cannot keep a colony by
merely flying a Hag over it, even the
Union Jack," he said.
"With the awakening of the hast,
if you are going to retaining Aus
tralia as a jewel of the British Crown.
some one has got to stand up and
light to keep it." Price expressed his
approval in strong terms of the pro
posal to raise a federal citizen army
in Australia.
