Chandler of tha T'nlled States signal corps lectured Wednes day night at Fort Omaha to the members of the signal corps stationed there on the subject of "Free and Captive Balloons." and Thursday night will lecture at the same place on "Dlrigiblo Balloons." "Even though the captive balloon had not been of real value In modern waVfare which it has it has had a moral effect which lias more than paid for the cost," said Captain Chandler. "The government is spending considerable money on free balloons and the principle value to date has been to teach the men how to handle the captive balloons In case of their re lease." Captain Chandler ts a most daring aero naut and was In charge of the United Btates balloon America, which finished fifth In the great International balloon race which started from St. Louis last fall. The first part of his lecture con sisted of a paper on the technical problems of ballooning, with stereooticon views. He showed the construction of the various parts of the balloon, the different Instru ments carried and the different means of preparing gas both from stationary plants and In the field. After finishing his tech nical paper on ballooning. Captain Chand ler presented pictures of the International balloon race, showing the arrangements for filling the Valloons at Forest park, St. Louis, the balloons In different states of Inflation, and the balloons as they were starting on their race across the continent. A map was thrown on the screen showing the routes of the various balloons In the race, and Captain Chandler showed why the courses of the different balloons had varied. He told of being able to see two of tho other balloons most of tha second day, whilo crossing the state of Indiana, as they were but a few miles to the south of them. . Captain Chandler said that until dirigible balloons were' perfected, captive balloons would be used by the'army. He said they were of especial valu for a beselged city, as they could be used for communication with the outside world. European armies, which are skilled In the use of balloons, can have a rapitva balloon 1,000 feet m the air In from fifteen to thirty minutes from the time the machinery la on the field. The angle of vision Is about twelve and one-half miles from a captive balloon. The ways of preparation and the value of the different kinds of gas were discussed by Captain Chandler, who said that the hydrogen gas plant which would be In stalled at Fort Omaha this summer would make gas at a cost of about tt per 1,000 cubic feet. The next International race will be held In Germany under the supervision of the kaiser some time In September. SMALLPOX IN A HOSPITAL Disease Ja Mild Form Plada Its Way lato tha C'oaaty In firmary. Smallpox broke out Wednesday afternoon at the county hospital and as a result one patient has been sent to the emergency hospital and two others are quarantined on the third floor of the building In charge of a special nurse. Clifford Walker, who was received at the hospital about a week ago, was the first victim. When he entered the hospital It was suspected he had the disease and he was Isolated from the other patients. As soon as the disease developed he was sent to the pest house. The other patients are women. Mrs. 8uaan Bogle, who is In firm with age. and Mrs. Anna Hulsman, who hae a babe less than a week old. It was feared If they were removed to the emergency hospital the shock would be fatal, so they were Isolated on the third floor under quarantine with a special nurse. Both women have been In the hos pital several weeks and It is not known where they were exposed. Mrs. Bogle came uptown frequently and It is supposed she contracted the disease while on one of these trips. Both the patients are doing well and the hospital has been thoroughly fumigated, so It is not believed the disease will spread among the other patients. NELSON IS' JSTILL MISSING search at rat-OS Lake Coatlnaea aad Theory of Foal Flay Is Snsjaested. Men continued Thursday the work of trying to recover from- Cot Off. lake the body of Carl N. Nelson, the East Omaha milkman who disappeared Monday night and who Is supposed to have fallen through an airhole while walking across rfie ice The last seen of Nelson was when h left the saloon of Joe Sauers about midnight Monday. He waa accompanied by Yocum I -arson, a Courtland Beach saloon keeper. They walked across the lake, and when they arrived ,at the other side Larson is said to have fallen asleep. Then, it is said. Nelson walked back across Ihe lie to get his team, which he had left on the other side. Nelson had about I.V0 cash on his person. While the general opinion is that he fell through th ice. there are those who put some credence on the theory of foul play. The police have not been called upon the case. If the money la missing when the body la found arrests will follow. Two of Nelson's brothers from Washing ton county arrived in Omalia Thursday and will assist la Ihe search for th body. Neither of them could explain Nelson' ab sence except on th theory h had drowned or frozen to death. Tbey called on Sheriff Bralley and he assigned Deputy Sheriff Stea-art ta continue the search. COLORED GEE GEE STILL 0. R. Sorghum. Burnt So. gar or Caramel May Co Into Whisky. SO RULES THE SUPREME COURT Fear af l.iajaar Dealers that Only White Goods Conld Be "old la the Pare Food Law Is Dispelled. Whisky will not be white and three-star may still retain Its delicate hues and re semble ginger ale or New Tork apple Jack, regardless of the pure food and drug laws, according to a ruling of the United States supreme court, which has Just been made known to Omaha dealers by the A. Oraf Distilling company. When the pure food laws were enacted, the saloon keepers saw nothing but white goods going acrosa the mahogany tops and trouble to distinguish "Kentavk" from the coffin bottle gin or Kansas City-made ry from Missouri river water, - served with each Jerk of whiskey. But It Is legal to put sorghum molasses, burnt sugar or caramel In the whisky, ac cording to the supreme court, and the cus tomers may continue to gratify two noble senses the sight and taste when they take their toddy and cold cures. The caramel or burnt sugar may be placed In the whisky after government Inspection and yet not be subject to for feiture to the federal authorities. Tha suit Just decided Involved the selxure In Missouri of three barrels of whisky belonging to a distilling company on the complaint of a United States dis trict attorney under the law which pro hibits "things else" than the original old article In a package after It haa been marked by the Inspector. But the supreme court has held that "things else" refers to taxable articles, end molasses, burt sugar and caramel are not taxable articles. This decision opens a wide field of pos sibilities to the "whisky makers," and most anything can be placed in the pack ages, besides the spirits. Just what whisky will taste like In a number of years, according to the ruling, ts a matter of conjecture to saloon men, but they be lieve it will be more and more like cough medicine, and Dr. Bitxer's Compound of Wild Goose and Tar Berrles. which they allege, closely resembles some of the whisky sold over American bars.

The Law on Insane Criminals. LINCOLN. Jan. Z7.-To the Editor of The Bee: In presenting the evidence upon an Insanity hearing before one of the Judges of the district court of Itnraster county I became aware of the fact that to avoid uncertainty of procedure and un certainty ef results, the Nebraska criminal code should be amended. Peetlon 4M of the code forbids the trial, sentence nd e ecutlon of Insane persons, and sections 6fl ne) 6SS provide that where a convict, under sentence of death, shall appear to be In sane, the warden of the penitentiary shall notify a Judge of the district court of tho county In which the penitentiary ts sit uated, and shall summon a Jury of twelve Impartial elector to Inquire Into such In sanity at a time and place to be fixed by the Judge. If Ihe convict Is found Insane, the Judge suspends the execution until the governor shall Issue Ms warrant directing such ex ecution, and the governor may do this when convinced that the convict has again become of sound mind. The man whose sanity was being Inquired iMo was one Frank Barker. He had been tried and convicted at Red Cloud of the murder of his brother and been brought "to the penitentiary for safe keeping, and,ex ecutlon. as provided by an amendment to the code. Witnesses who saw him daily In tha broom hop of the penitentiary, where he worked more than three year, said he wa foolish In his talk and con duct and they believed him Insane, i The chaplain of the penitentiary, the cell house keeper and others testified In the same way. Upon a showing that this evidence would be produced. Judge Holmes of caster county ordered the hearing, over which, however, another district Judg, Judge Frost, presided, and after the evi dence was all In Instructed the jury In effect that it need pay no attention to the testimony of the witnesses, but should determine, from seeing the applicant and listening to hi testimony whether he was sane. A the jury taw Barker, who was brought before It, and heard him testify, It was the contention of Barker's counsel that this Instruction forbade consideration of the evidence ol the witnesses. Because of these Instructions, as three of the Jurors, Oberlies, Clark, and Rogers, later wrote the governor, the Jury found Barker to bo sane, although it believed that jk as mentally deranged. A Barker was found to be sane, and the date of his execution was fixed by the judge, we as counsel for Barker, filed a petition in error In the supreme court. It waa contended that there is no de finition of Insanity In the Nebraska crim inal code; that there are no common law crime In Nebraska. (Section 251 of the Criminal Code, State vs. DeWolf, 87, Neb raska S.'2.) That to adopt the restricted definition used by the presiding judge woulf subject a large class to punishment, being those of infirm Intellect; that in sec tion 261 of the criminal code, the legislature provided that: "This code and every law upon the subject of crime which may be enacted shall be construed according to the 'plain. Import' of the language In which It is written." The petition In error was denied, the su preme court stating no specific ground of denial. This case would seem to suggest that the section referred to are wholly, insufficient to protect an insane person from execution. We think there should be amendments to the criminal code touching this subject, as follows: That the judge who makes the order for the hearing shall preside, unless sick or unavoidably absent: that challenges of the Jury for cause and peremptory challenge, should be allowed as In criminal cases: that where there is evidence upon the part of the applicant tending to show insauiiv. the Jury shall be instructed to find by the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the applicant is Bane before any order for his execution shall be made; that errors of the Judge in giving or refusing Instruc tions to the Jury, and in admitting or ex cluding evidence, shall be reviewable In the supreme court as are errors In other rases, and that such errors shall he sufficient grounds for setting, aside the Judgment of the presiding JudKe: that Insanity shall ba defined in tne criminal cone, ana that no perfcon of unsound mind shall be banned. FRANCIS G. HAMKK, SCARED BOY DROPS WHEEL rrrallar Mliap Oeenra aa Resalt of the 8 opposed Theft of a Bicycle. C. J. Carlson, who conducts a shoe store on North Twenty-fourth street, became th possessor of n bicycle for a few moments Wednesday night in a rather peculiar man ner. Carlson's son had ridden a bicycle to a store at Twentieth and Ohio, and leav ing the wheel outside he went in to buy oite merchandise. When he came out of the store he discovered that his wheel had disappeared, and he immediately telephoned his father, who was atlll at the slioe store. Upon locking up his store a few minutes later and starting for .home Carlson the elder saw another boy riding a bicycle which corresponded to the one owned by his son. Carlson called for the boy to stop, but upon giving a frightened glance around the latter pedaled all the faster, and was then pursued by the elder Carlson, who was now thoroughly convinced that he had bagged the thief.
