‘EEE EEEEEEE TEST
BALLOONS IN WARFARE.
It Behoovos Uncle Sam to Bump Himself
as Have Other Nations.
Uncle Sam will soon be forced to con-
sider seriously the establishment of 2
balloon corps as an adjunct of the army.
This country is sadly behind in the de-
velopment of aeronautics, while Eng-
land, Germany, and especially France
have been giving much attenlion to tilt
subject, though their experiments havr
been veiled as far as possible. Within
ayear the French have produced a. bal-
loon that can be steered and maneuvered
in the teeth of a. wind blowing twenty
miles an hour.
In truth, the most important problem
in aerostation has been solved, and the
dirigible balloon is now an accomplished
fact. Cigar shaped airships have re-
cently been run by propellers in France
on calm days at fourteen miles an hour,
and there is no doubt that double that
speed can be attained.
The Germans are said to have pro-
duced a balloon that can be steered and
which carries great weights; but little
is known about it. The supposition
that atmospheric air is too tenuous a
medium for propelling fans to act upon
is exploded, while it is certain that a
rudder will operate to direct the aerial
machine if the latter can be driven fast
enough to give it steerage way.
The notion that an airship sustained
by gas is not to be relied onis another
fallacy. Experts in Europe now under-
stand how to make balloons tight, so
that leakage is reduced to almost noth-
mg.
When one has a gas bag of gold beat-
er’s skin that will stay afloat thirty days
he has something with which to begin
business.
If half a dozen aerial batteries of four
ballooons each were stationed along the
Atlantic cost no hostile fleet could come
near our seaboard cities. The vessels
could be sunk by dropping nitro-glycer-
ine cartridges upon them.
Dr. Myers. the aeronautic engineer,
Speaks of experiments in killing ducks
in water bydropping shot from an ele-
vation of 1,500 feet. Falling so far, the
velocity of the leaden pellet was as great
as if fired from a. gun.
Air current at a high elevation always
move from west to east. Having wiped
out the ship, it would be necessary for
the flying battery to return in the face
of the wind, but this could be accom-
plished very easily by using the propel-
lers. ‘
Uncle Sam has been thinking of put-
ting more than $20,000,000 into coast
and harbor defences for the Atlantic
shore line. To keep these in order
would require an expenditure of millions
of dollars annually, without considering
that the entire system would have to be
remodeled every few years. Aerial bat-
teries as here described would cost com-
paratively little at the beginning and
could probably be maintained for $1,000
each per annum. Of course, a. long
course of experiments would be re-
quired. Meanwhile, if England should
come down upon our cities with a. flock
of balloons from Montreal we would be
obliged to sue for peace on any terms.
Against balloons no armed force on
land or water could have any means of
defense or retaliation. The warriors in
an air ship would be absolutely safe at
an elevation of a. little more than a mile.
Owing to the force of gravity, no shot
that can be fired from «any gun will do
damage beyond 6,000 feet above the sur-
face of the earth. ~ ‘
If a. balloon were within, say, 1,500
feet of the ground, and passing away,
the line of sight would change so slowly
that sharpshooters could easily pepper it
with accuracy; but even so the balloon
would not suffer importantly. Though
pierced by a score, or even 100 bullet
holes, its bouyancy would not seriously
be affected. '
A rifle bullet puncturing a great gas
bag would make a small hole only,
which would be partly closed again by
the broken edges of the fabric. Some
gas would escape, but not enough to be
of any consequence. 7 But there would be
no reason for passing over a hostile fleet
or army at so low an elevation, as a bomb
could be dropped as accurately from
a point high enough to be out of reach.
Beside, the instant that a bomb would
be thrown the balloon would rise rapid-
ly.
At night or in a fog it would be entire-
1y safe from observation. Or it would
be easy enough for the airship to come
down into the lower part- of the cloud,
whence the crew could see the enemy
below while invisible.
These are the most important conclu-
sions obtained from experiments re-
cently made by foreign powers. _Dur-
ing the siege of Paris balloons were
sent up in large numbers from the city,
passing over the bosieging armies. The
aeronauts took homing pigeons which
carried back news. These balloons were
constantly fired at, and Krupp. the gun-
maker, at the request of Von Moltke, de-
signed a balloon musket. This sort of
rifle practice» proved wholly ineflective,
and only those balloons were captured
which were low down through expended
gas. « ‘

NEw YORK, Sept. 6.—The mosd put-er-
esting topic of conversation among yachts-
men today—in fact, the one that is ab-
sorbing about ' all their attention—con-
cerns the measurements of the Defender
and Valkyrie III. There have been sev-
eral estimates made on ”guess” figures,
and they grant to the Defender a time al-
lowance of anywhere from one minute to
two. A majority of them keep the
allowance under 1% minutes, or a good
deal less than was estimated when the
challenger’s enormous sails were first
seen. Of course these results come from
figures that are only guessed at, but there
are some pretty shrewd yacht-smen among
those who are taking a chance at naming
the allowance, and perhaps it may be said
that the smartest of them fix the differ-
ence at between 1% minutes and 1 min-
ute and 22 seconds. Just what it is will
not, however, be made known until about
noon tomorrow, when Mr. John Hyslop
will officially take the measures of both
yachts. . _
Indications point to the largest attend-
ance at a yacht race that the world ever
the harbor will be brought into requisition
on Saturday, and dozens of regular liners
will be taken off their usual routes to
carry people to see the great marine. pic-
ture. Parties from Philadelphia, Boston,
New Haven, New Bcdford and many other
places will come on chartered boats. An
especially demonstrative gathering will
be on a steamer from the lakes, which
will carry more than a few Canadians,
whose “rooting” will be for the English
yacht. It is earnestly hoped that the
pilots will keep out of the way of the
racers.
An Innovation In Reporting.
The race will be the occasion of an in-
novation in the means of transmitting
news of the progress of the contest between
the champion boats of England and
America which will mark a long step
forward in the business of reporting
aquatic sporting events. Up to this time
the accurate and speedy rcporti ":g of such
an event- as a yacht race has be; 3 attended
with great difficulty. .
Watchers stationed at vwious points of
vantage on the coast near the course laid
out for the yachts have given the public...
on shore the earliest information obtaine
able of the progress of the racers, follow-
ing as best they could the various maneu-
vers of the yachts and estimating as
closely as might be the distance which
separated the craft as the race progressed.
When it is recalled that observation in
this manner is at a distance sometimes of
as much as ‘5 or 20 miles, and that often
a fog and ,, «'re frequently a haze obstructs
the view, :2». difficulty of accurately-{re-
porting a 3" cht race may be realized. It
has in a. pusher of instances been impos-
sible for the newspapers to give accurdte
information as to times of crossing the
starting line, turning the stakeboats and
finishing the race until reporters who had
been detailed to follow the yachts on board
tugs could reach land and communicate
with their papers, sometimes a matter of
an hour or more.
How It “'in Be Done.
Now, however, the public of both the
old and the new world are to have prompt
and accurate information of the yacht
as they progress through the enterprise of
the Commercial Cable company. This
company’s steamer Mackay-Bennett will
lay a submarine cable to the scene of the
yacht races. The end of the cable will be
on board and specially connected with
pany’s main ocean cable, landing, at
Coney Island. The Postal Telegraph
company will also have an office on board
the Mackay-Bennett and will forward
telegrams to‘all points in the Unit-ed
States and Canada.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—No additional ar-
rests have been made in connection with
the poisoning .of Mrs. Bliss, in spite of
the many rumors.
Police Captain Thompson, who has
charge of the case, says no further arrests
will be made, as he has no evidence that
in” any manner connects any one with the
poisoningexcept the dead woman’s dau gh-
ter, Mrs. Fleming, who is in the Tombs
prison. .
Whether or not the officials at head-
quarters are satisfied with the manner in
which Captain Thompson has conducted
the investigation, certain it is that half a
dozen headquarters detectives are now at
work.
Captain ThOnipson and his two detect-
ives were called to headquarters today.
They wont down in full uniform and car-
ried with them a statement of the evi-
dence so far. obtained in the way of solv-
ing the poisoning mystery.
Before leaving Captain Thompson said
he had no statement of any kind to make
MRS. FLEMING AND BLISS.
for the present. He added that, although
Coroner O’Mcnghor had set the inquest
for tomorrow morning at 10:30 o’clock, he
did not see how it could go on before Mon-
day or Tuesday next.
This looks as if the task of welding a
' chain of evidence against the accused
‘ woman was not so easy as it. at first seemed
to be.
The expert chemist who is making the
analysis of the dead woman’s stomach said
today that ho had almost completed his
work.
Henry M. Bliss, the divorced husband
of the dead woman and stepfather of Mrs.
Fleming, was not in evidence today.
At the Colonial hotel, where he lives, it
was stated that he had gone before 7 o’clock
and Was not expected back for some time.
It is believed that he has carried out his
threat to seek seclusion for a week or so
until the excitement abates.
\Vhere the Children Are.
All of the three children of Mrs. Flem-
ing are now in the hands of the Gerry so-
ciety. The oldest boy and the baby were
taken there today.
Mrs. Fleming still preserves the same
s'mili-ng countenance as when first arrest-
ed. To a. reporter today she said she had
passed a restful night.
Beyond reiterating her innocence of
the charge brought- against her she refuses
to discuss her case.
“See my lawyer. John C. Shaw. He
is the only one who can talk for me now, ”
she said.
In the 10-year-old daughter Gracie the
police have found a witness whom they
find very hard to manage. '
They say she is one of the most cunning
children that ever came under their notice, _
and that it is next to impossible to sur-
prise her in anything.
Captain Thompson started in to do
what should have been done many days
ago. With his detectives he made a search
of the rooms in the Colonial hotel, which
Mrs. Fleming occupied.
The search was mum in hopes that he
would be able-to find some of the tartar
emetic, a portion of which drug had been
put in the chowder which was sent to
Mrs. Bliss and from the effects of which
she died. He' also took possession of the,
woman’s daughter Gracie, who was, ac-
cording- to the police, made. the innocent
means of-convcying the poison to her
grandmother. ’
If Mrs. Fleming really did poison her
mother, she had ample time to destroy any
evidence there might have been in the
rooms . The police. knew that when they
went there, so they had little hopes of
finding anything.
That (they did discover something was
evident from the fact thatthey brought
away with them a. package shaped like a
cigar box. What it contained they refused
to tell.
Gracie'n Damaging Statement.
Shortly after Mrs. Fleming was arrested
her little daughter Gracie told the police
that her mother had given her the chow-
Fearing
that the child might be instructed to tell
a diifcrent story, they wanted to get pos-
session of her. Mrs. Fleming's step-
father, Heury M. Bliss, who also lived in
the Colonial hotel, had put the children
' in the care of a friend and refusal to allow
the police to take them. He was in that .
frame of mind until late last night, and
then, whether with or without her con-
sent, Captain Thompson took the little
one and sent her down to the Gerry
society. She is there .now, and when the
inquest begins tomorrow she will be one
of the chief accusers against her mother.
The police have also discovered a little
girl who was a playmate of Gracie’s. She
has confirmed the little one’s story. She
accompanied Gracie from the Colonial
hotel to Mrs. Bliss’ house on St. Nicholas
avenue with the poisoned chowder.
The police have not succeeded in find-
ing the drug clerk who sold tartar emetic
recently. Tartar emetic can be easily pro-
cured in any drug store without a prescrip-
tion, and record is scarcely ever kept of a
sale.
So that as the case now stands against
Mrs. Fleming there is the testimony of
the physician who attended Mrs. Bliss
that she died of poisoning. and that he
found traces of tartar emetic in the pitch-
er which contained the chowder.
There is the testimony of the daughter
Gracie that she brought the chowder to
her grandmother, and this is fully cor:
- the respective houses.
robOrated not only by the girl’s playmate,
but bya servant in the Colonial hotel,
who took the chowder up to Mrs. Flem-
ing's room. '
Capping it all will be the report of the
chemist who made an analysis of the con-
tents of the dead woman’s stomach. It is
to the effect that poison enough to kill
half a dozen had been taken.
Points For Mrs. Fleming.
As against all this is the woman’s own
statement that she is innocent. _
She insists that in her mother’s death
she has lost the greatest friend she had
ever known.
She says she had no motive to put her
mother out of the way.
She does not regard the fact that by her
mother’s death she falls into possession
of a large sum of money as being of any
account.
Neither does she think it odd that she
should have lived apart from her mother,
preferring instead to remain in the same
house with her stepfather, her mother’s
divorced husband, and to have him pay
her bills.
Pretty, nearly every one in the Colonial
hotel knew long ago that Mrs. Fleming
Would inherit considerable money on her
mother’s death. Many stories are being
told there now.
One story. is to the eflect that Henry M.
Bliss was in the habit of walking about
the hotel and telling all he chanced to
know that “she, ” pointing toward Mrs.
Fleming’s room, “will fall in for $300,000
some day. ”
Everybody knew it, in fact, and the
general impression prevailed that when
Mrs. Fleming did fall in for the money
Henry M. Bliss would have something to
say as to the handling of it. How they got
that idea does not appear.
Every day new light is being thrown on
Mrs. Fleming’s past, and as page after
page'of her life’s history is unfolded one
sees in it facts that a novelist would not
dare put into fiction. He would not be-
lieve it. No one seeing it in a novel
would believe that such things could hap-
pen.
A little girl in her teens at Toms River,
with a baby, innocent face, with baby
eyes and a voice filled with music, she
looked the very opposite of what she really
was, for beneath that baby smile were a
mind and a. heart sosurchargod with woe- .
ful criminal ideas as to be appalling. Sho
conceded it herself. ' In fact, she took no
pains whatever to hide. .
A Creature of Passion.
Filled with ungovernable passions, she
gave free rein to them and paused not at
anything.
How could she be otherwise when, to
use her own words, she was living in a
house where every one in it was had?
She was then at ' the home of her
mother—the mother she is now charged
with having poisoned—who was living
with her scoond husband, Henry M. Bliss.
When little less than 18 years old, she
began a liaison with her mother’s coach-
man, Archibald Cornelius. Whether he
would or not avoid the girl, she made
such a thing impossible.
She followed him everywhere, wrote
him ‘efl‘usiv‘e epistles and put them under
his pillow. Some of them were of such a.
nature as to be unfit for publication.
Some of them she signed “Alice,” some
"Nil Desperandum.”
