"At the hearing in Washington the government Droduced none of the original tar iffs in court." said Attorney Morris Rosenthal, for the defense. "We do not even seek to enforce a rule against you.'' "I Insist that all of the tariff sheets were on file in Washington and" ex1 claimed Mr. Kellogg. 1 "They were not in court," Interrupted Mr. Rosenthal. I f "Will you keep still until I get through V" shouted Mr. Kellog. , "I repeat that those tariff sheets were on file and that you could have had them if you desired." ' ' i "Can I make a statement without being Interrupted and insulted by youV" There was another lively skirmish when Mr. Kellog sought to elicit from H. E. Felton, president of the Union Tank Line, and general traffic manager of traffic of the oil company, information concerning shipments of oil by the defendant company in less than car load lots. Mr Rosenthal said he would Instrucl.tb?, witness not to answer iurther questions until Mr. Kellog had "mastered his strong feelings."

FLIGHT ACROSS ATLANTIC NEXT

Winners of Chicago Balloon Race Make Start Next . Year. QUICK TRIP POSSIBLE. HONEYWELL THINKS STEADY EASTWARD AIR CURRENT CAN BE FOUND AND THEN TRIP WILL RESULT SUCCESSFULLY. St. Louis. Oct. 3 Plans for the first balloon trip across the Atlantic are now being prepared by P. E. Honeywell of this city, and Dr. Frederick J. Fielding of San Antonio, who won the recent Chicago balloon race. They expect to start next summer from New York. Honeywell believes the journey can be made in four days. He has received a letter from Dr. Fielding asking him to build a 300,000 cubic foot balloon for the trip, and to accompany him as pilot. It took Honeywell two minutes to decide to go. He Is now planning the balloon. Instead of the usual basket, the aero nauts will occupy a twelve foot motor boat. While in the air a propeller to assit the balloon will be used. If it becomes necessary to cut adrift from the balloon and take to the water, an ordinary propeller will be attached. By rising high above the water Hon eywell is confident that a steay eastward air current will be found. "It's there all right and we will find it," he said. During the Chicago race, Hon eyweii says the ballon traveled to miles an hour at times. He believes four days will suffice to carry the bal loon ocross the ocean. As May and June are the best months for balloon ing, it is probable that the attempt will be made then. , FLOWERS A FEATURE Hundreds of Varieties to Be Shown During Fall Festival WOMEN, CHIEF EXHIBITORS Of course there will be a number of men attend the flower show which will be held at the court house in connec tion with fall festival but this beauti ful exhibit promises to be most dis tinctly patronized by the women.

Flower culture has become an art with Wayne county people. The soil appears to be particularly suited for the growth of flowers and plants and as a result Richmond is the home of one of the largest floral concerns in the United States, the E. G. Hill com pany. Mr. Hill is one of the world's b(.t known rose experts. The amateur florists of the county have developed the art of flower cul ture to a point not far below that at tained by the professional florists. The majority of the exhibitors at the flower show will be country peo ple mostly women. The recent dr ught was a hardship to the exposed flowers, but enough survived to make the show all that could be desired. WHITECAPS NOTICE RECEIVED BY WIDOW Her Household Furniture Stacked on Roof.

NO BANKER'S MEETING Richmond Bankers Seem to Know Nothing of Sixth District Session. FEW BENEFITS DERIVED.
