Flight Was an Entire Success Until Within a Few Feet of the Landing. Neither Captain Chandler Nor Lieu tenant Ware, the Occupants, Seri ously Injured Accident Believed Due to an Electric Spark. Omuhn, May 11. Army balloon No. 12, which nscended from Fort Omaha, landed at Jncksoif, Nob., after n llight of over 100 miles in six nnd a half hours. In making a landing, the gas bag exploded n few feet above the ground and was destroyed, but neither Cnptuin Chandler nor Llcutenaut Ware, who mado the flight, wna seri ously injured. The town of Jackson Is about thirty miles west of Sioux City. Lieutenant Wnro declared that aside from tho destruction of tho gas bag, the flight was an entlro success. Cap tain Chandler belleveB that while at a high altitude the gas bag became charged wifh static electricity and that on reaching the ground, contact with tho earth caused an arc to form, thus producing an electric spark, which set Are to tho big bag. Tho ascension was made from Fort Omaha at 11:15 a. m. and was super vised by Captain Chandler, nsslsted by a detachment of trained signal corps men. Tho balloon started north as soon as it was well In the air and soon crossea the Missouri river. It followed Ihe general course of tho river for nearly a hundred miles, tho flight follqwing nn cast-northwesterly direction. Tho highest altitude reached was 4,000 foot, shortly after tho balloon left tho earth. A fair breozo carried the hag at a thlrty-mllo gait tho first hour, when tho wind dlod down and the bnlioon wns becalmed for an hour nnd a half. The wind then sprung up and carried' tho big bag at n rapid rate to tho north. Running out of lmlla3t In the vicin ity of Jarkpon, Captain Chandler de cided to make a change. TIip balloon caino down In nn opeu fle'd In nn easy msnner, but just .as It readied the earth the explosion occurred. Both Captain Chnndlor and Lieuten ant Ware wore knockod down by the force of the explosion, but not Berl ously Injured. Cnptnln Chandlor said that desplto the destruction of tho balloon, much was accomplished In nn experimental way by the flight. Tho bag was a new one and had nover beforo been .lnfinted. The distance traveled was about 120 miles nnd, de ducting the hour and a half the bal loon was becalmed, tho flight was made In about six hours. Much of tho time, however, the wind wob bo low that the balloon moved only about five miles an hour. The occupantB of the balloon were tnken to town In a farmer's wagon and reached Omaha this afternoon. OFFICIAIL8 GET HIGHER PAY Secretary of Banking Board and As sistant Secretary of State.
