"BIGGEST"

ALL00H IDE 01 92! 31 Prof. James Case of South Chicago at Work on Big Sky Pilot. BALLOON TO REPRESENT CHI. Forty-Four Hundred Yards of Kaw Material Are Used to Make Mammoth Gas Bag. few people in . South Chicago are aware of the fact that the largest bal loon in the United States Is now being constructed in the shop of Prof. James I Case, 195 Ninety-second street local aeronaut, who has achieved no little success during the last twenty years in his balloon and airship flights. The balloon which Prof. Case is now building is being constructed for the Aeronautique club of Chicago, has been named the "City of Chicago. This balloon will represent Chicago In the great international areonautique contests which will take place July 2, S and 4. The big balloon has a capacity of ninety-seven thousand cubic feet of gas and Is slightly over sixty-three feet in diameter. The body of the baloon "will be a dark gold and the name, "City of Chicago," will adorn both sides in heavy black letters. The huge airship has a carrying capacity of three tons and will be manned by two men an escort and a pilot. Mr. Case, the manufacturer of the balloon, will act as pilot and will have charge of manning it. Got Coutract In January. Mr. Case was awarded the contract late In January and his contract calls for the completion of the balloon by June 16. The big air bag is now com pleted and yesterday Mr. Case said that everything would be ready for transferring the balloon to the club's garage downtown long before the time specified In his contract. Just to give an idea of how much work is required on a balloon is shown when Prof. Case said that twenty two hundred yards of material was used in covering the gas bag and about the same number of yarda is used for the gas bag Itself. The covering of the gas bag In Its raw state Is pure white, but this re quires a, special preparation which changes the color to a dark old gold. This preparation Is given the convas in order to make It more protective and cannot be put out in th manufactured state. Mr. Case has a large force of men helping in building the big bar loon and although ho did not make known the amount he Is receiving for the building of the airship, it is known that the amount will reach into the thousands. Several balloon builders from various sections of the county submitted bids for the contract, but the bid of the lo cal areronaut was much lower than his competitors. When asked If his being a member of the Chicago Areonautic club had anything to do toward get' ting the contract, Mr. Case replied that It did not and said that he had heard several of his competitors had made the same assertion, but he denied it by saying that they are false. The International Aeronautique con test, which will be held in Chicago July 2, 3 and 4. is being widely ad vertised In every section of the United States as well as foreign countries. The entries have been limited to twenty, and fifteen of this number have already made their entry along with the necessary forfeit money. Among the foreign countries that will be represented in the great inter. national races are Germany, France (who have sent entries), eBlglum, Italy, England, Spain and Australia, the lat ter country who are making their first attempt at aerial navigation. The flight of the balloons, areoplanes and airships will take place at the south end of the White City grounds Sixty-fourth street and South Park avenue. This space has been leased by the Chicago Aeronautique club for a period of three years, and during the last year every flight made in Chicago has taken place at these grounds.

THE BULLETJXPLODED And Little George Lansing of Whiting Narrowly Escapes Death.

Special to The Times Whiting, Jnd., May 23. Evidentlywishing to show his little lady what latent power there la In a 32 caliber cartridge, George Lansing, the five year old son of Frank Lansing of One Hundrtd and Nineteenth street, laid a cartridge on th street car tracks in front of his home and then said to five year old Iena Kaiser, who was standing beside him. "Watch the noise." The little fellow folded his arms while the little girl played with the other bullet, and together they waited for one of the street cars to come rocking down the line. As the car approached they both bent down to watch closely, and as the wheels of the first truck struck the cartridge, there was a loud report under the car and a piercing cry on the lips of Georgie. The bullet was fired and struck the boy in tha abdomen, stunning him for a moment, but recovering himself again he turned and ran to hia homi where he again was overcome when he reached the top of the steps. Little Lena followed close on his heels, crying and speaking comforting words to him while the boy headed for home. "Don't cry, George; it don't hurt. Did the noise hurt you in the stomach? Oh, George, I feet so sorry for you; I won't do it again," to all of which Georgie could only answer "boo-hoo, hoo." When the frightened mother learned what had happened to the miniature anarchist who tried to dynamite the street car line, a doctor was sum moned who said that the injury was nothing serious. The boy did not get the full force of the shot. The two children found the bullets in the rear of Vater Brothers' store, they having been accidentally swept out.

FAKE REHTCOLLECIIOBS Busy in East Side District and Operations Are Not Checked Numerous complaints hava lately been made to the real estate men throughout South Chicago and the Eas Side that unknown men were at thel homes trying to collect rent for th buildings. This is a game that Is be ing worked In various setfions of the city and was recently discovered on the East Side by Andrew Rlngman, a real estate dealer, just in time to check their operations which were beginning to as sume serious proportions. The method employed by the bogu rent collector Is first to go to the real estate man and ask for a permit to go through eertaln houses that he has for sale, saying that he Is thinking of buying property In the neighborhood. Usually the real estate dealer will offer to accompany man, but when he says that be must be going back to the city on the next train and will be out early the following day, the real estate men will give the fellow a note to the tennant saying that he wishes to go through the house. After being shown through the house he will ask the tenant how much rent they are paying and when they have to pay It. Thanking the tenant he will then makes his disappearance. About the time the rent Is due again he will make his appearance and sy that he has bought the house and has come to collect the rent. Some times the tenant will pay and again they will not.
