JURY FOR DICKINSON CASE Defense . Irene Blrfleaharn Rronaht A newt Her Own Death. (From a Utaff Correspondent.) DKH MOINEfl. Oct. 19,-(.'"peclsl.)-The work of securing 11 Jury In the murder trial of H. B Dickinson was Completed today at noon and the Introduction of evi dence was commenced this afternoon. In the statement of Altorrey Walter Mo Henry to th Jury this afternoon It de veloped lhat the plea of the defense Is not guilty and It will attempt to prove ttmt Irene Blydenburg of Eldora performed the criminal operation on herself and that Dickinson called. In a physician In an at tempt to save her life. It Is also claimed by the defenue that Dickinson Is entirely guiltless of any criminal connection with the death of the girl. The members of the Jury secured In the case are all married men and all are over 10 years old but one. Most of them are men with gray hairs. Irene Blydenburg was a pretty telephone operator at Eldora. She waa the daughter of F. S. Blydenburg, who was recently released from the peni tentiary on a charge of murdering hla wire ny tne action 01 me supreme court In reversing his case and remanding It for retrial. On the: retrial a verdict was di rected for Blydenburg. Blydenburg Is In Des Moines attending the trial of the man accused of murdering his daughter. 1 Dickinson was an Insurance agent and waa frequently In Eldora and waa seen out driving with Miss Blydenburg many times. Ho was further Identified as the man seen with her In Des Moines. He was Indicted Jointly with Dr. E. E. Gadd of this city, the doctor being accused of performing the operation. The men de manded separate trials and the state elected to try Dickinson first. Dickinson's wife, ever loyal to hi in and stoutly main taining his Innocence, was In the court room today and sat beside him. It la ex pected that she will attend through the en tire trial. J. C. Cain, the man who made the mur derous assault on C. W. Morris and D. C. Johnson, is still at large. Reports have reached the authorities that he waa seen at different places In the country Inst night. These new clues have been taken up and the search continued. It Is believed by the authorities that he has established com munication with friend' and attorneys In 100.00 uea Moines. Both Morris and Johnson are ' still alive and the chancca for their recov 1.00 ery Increases. Strenuous efforts on the part of Marshall- town secured for that city the next meeting of the grand lodge of the I. O. O. F. and the subsidiary organizations. Des Moines attempted to get things fixed so that the organisation would meet regularly In Des Moines. .The best it could do was a pro vision that the organisation would always meet In pes Moines unless other' provision la made. This year other provision waa made by deciding to meet In Marahalltown. The chief business of the sessions of today was routine matter concerned ' with the finances of the order. . At a meeting of the officers of the order as gueata of the Greater Des Moines com mittee the proposition waa sprung that Dea Moines be made the permanent meeting place and headquarters and that a fine Odd Fellow templo be . erected,. In this city for such meeting place. A great many favored the Idea. At a monthly meeting of the Grant club last night F. F. Favllle, United States dis trict attorney for northern Iowa, addressed the club on "Inalienable Rights." He maintained that the government must not only protect the physical rights of man but his political rights as well. Hla emphasis waa that the government must protect and guarantee to every man freedom In compe tition. The Jennie Huegle case and the Charles Thomas case were submitted to the su preme court today. Mra. Jennie Huegle Is county superintendent of Polk county and her case involves the validity of the state uniform teachers' certificate law. The su preme court ruled against her, holding that she was Ineligible to hold the office,, and- she applied for a rehearing which waa sub mitted today. Charles Thomas was convicted for the murder of Mabel Scoftuld and his petition for a rehearing was submitted today. Thomas D..

PEAKS FOE THE OMAHA STATION Exteaslve Experiments Centr snpla trl, object to the Approval of ton sjress . Campalajnlaa; In the Upper AlVt Congress will be called upon at the coming session to Increase the appropriations for the purchase of balloons, and the. chief signal officer of the anfry Is now consider ing plans for a dirigible balloon, to coat in the neighborhood of $100,000, with a capacity of 60.000 cubic, feet, equipped with two 120 horse power engines of foreign design, and a contract speed of thirty-five miles an hour under favorable atmospheric conditions. The hope Is expressed, however, that this announcement will not move the unknown number of balloon cranks In this country to swamp the War department with de scriptions of their contrivances. If It were left to tho army to decide, the statistics would show that the number of balloon cranks In this country fur exceeds any other class of cranks. "We have been receiving an avalanche of communications on the subject of balloons recently," said General Allen. c"hief signal officer of the army. In an Interview In the New York Times. "The vast majority of them are utterly Impracticable In their pro posed plana. Of course all have to be ans wered. Please do not say we have decided to buy a dirigible balloon; not only is that not true, but It will cause the number of balloon letters to increase, and thai means more work for us. vwe are tackling the problem of aero nauttca ln a very thorough manner. Cap tain Chandler, who waa detailed for this work some time ago, has been giving his whole time to It. and he is now receiving some practical Instruction and Is making daily 'ascensions. Lieutenant Frank I'. Lahni, of the Sixth cavalry, who has been detained In Parte by Illness, Is expected home next month, and will continue his work here. He haa had considerable ex perience, having won the International race which 3tarted from Paris last fall.

"We have decided to establish at Fort Omaha, Neb., a plant for producing hydro gen ln large quantities by the, electrolysis of water. Our experiments, made during the lust year with, a view to securing hy drogen In large quantities at low cost, were not successful. But we shall be able to" produce It In sufficiently large quantities at our new plant. Orders have already been placed for the necessary electrolytic sella and the electrical machinery, ln ad dition In thla pluut we are to have a suit able building, plans for which have already 11H been prepared by the quartermaster depart ment to Inclose tilts hydrogen plant. We shall also have a large "steel balloon house of a else sufficient to till hydrogen balloons and to carry on experiments with any size and type of dirigible balloons of flying ma chines which may yet be developed. "It is our purpose to ship hydrogen for captive and dirigible balloons compressed In tubes at high pressure from this Omaha plant to any point where required for use. W'p believe this method will be preferable to using 'portable generators." There -are about a half-duzen balloons, all captive, now In the possession of the Signal corps. The largest of these, which vtus recently purchased, is what is known as a "complete military captive balloon," with all appurtenances. It haa a ratacity of SW) ubio meters. An ordinary spherical balloon, with a capacity of 3,200 cubic meters, haa alao been boight recently. It will be 'filled with coal gas and used for preliminary Instruction of officers and en listed men of the Signal corps In the ele mentary principles of aeronautics.

OO here being adapted to the respective mods of the three service schools. For the protection of the Pacific coast, balloon headquarters are to be established on Angel Island, and the selection of an ad vantageous site on the Atlantic coast la now under consideration. In case the dirigible balloon ofthe type which the authorities are now considering Is con tracted for, It will, when completed, be sent to Fort Omaha and there tested. The officers of the signal corps are un willing to give detalla regarding Its main Characteristics until It Is completed; they are guarding them with all the care that the navy attempts to guar! Its battle ship designs. But It Ih not unlikely that, before congress appropriates very much money for balloons. Its members will crll for "persons and papers" and then the cat will be out of the bag. There Is no disposition to go too rap Idly In the purchase of a dirigible bal loon, for the reason that Captain Chan dler, who Is to become one of the chief Instructors In millta"ry aeronautics. Is jui-t now taking hla first lesaona In nctuul "ballooning." His Instructor is Leo Sti vens. who will remain In Washington for three weeks or more, and will take the captain on a voyage through tho air each day during that time that atmospheric conditions permit. One of the successful ascensions mudc this week was by Captain Chandler ami Mr. McCoy, a bal loon expert from New York, who started from a point southeast of the capltol and made a voyage of fifteen mile, which brought them ln the vicinity of Forroit vllle, Md. After soaring upw.ird lor about ten minutes, the balloon on this occasion struck a current which swept It In a southeasterly direction at an alti tude of about 3.000 feet. "During our course of Instruction," &atd' Captain Chundler. "we expect ti make one or more ascensions in the rain, it Is much easier to navigate a balloon in the rain than on a windy day, for on u rainy day we can easily get above the clouds, and then travel on the sunny sldo of the clouds." Army officers who are Interested In the development of the balloon us an agent of 'warfare have encountered an obstacle In the disposition of the public to quet tion the practicability of military aero nautics. This is probably because the American really knows very little about i balloons. When It is remembered that aa I long ago as the siege of Paris the Inhab itants of tho French capital were enabled by means of balloons to communicate with the forces outside the walls, doubts about the utility of the balloon ln time of war should vanish. More than seventy balloons during that memorable siege carried dozens of passengers, ton of mall, and "hundreds of carrier pigeohe from the city to the troops outside, and In due time were re turned to the beBleged people with valua ble Information about the movement, of the enemy. . Ia.trortloas at Fort Omaha. In the course to be given at Fort Omaha it la proposed to Instruct the balloon di vision not only ln the art of making as censions, but in' the quickest methods of Inflating,' of unpacking the balloon from the wagon, and of towing It, once It Is Inflated, until the opportune time for mak ing the ascension arrives. In short. It will be the effort of Captain Chandler, of Lieutenant Lahm, and our other military aeronauts, to develop a regular form of balloon drills, "and in time of drill a book uf military aeronautlca will be Issued, giv ing the various maneuvers of Inflation, how to prepare for ascensions, ' how to handle the delicate appurtenances that make up the complete balloon outfit. "Until we can get the presldent'to make an ascension ln one of the army balloons." aid one of the foremost of our military aeronauta. "we can hardly hope to arouse the country to the possibilities of the balloon for military purpoaea.
